Actually, I always thought "the Big Sky" was a song about a hobby or an
obsession.  I get this vision of the movie with Clark Gable, Myrna Loy,
and Spencer Tracy in a movie from 1938, about an airplane pilot called 
"Test Pilot".   I feel this song is about a love that only very few
can appriciate.
