like a night in the forest

marnanelWhen John Denver says "you fill up my senses like a night in the forest", is that supposed to be a compliment? Because I don't get it.
Forest floors are full of stones and roots, and dead needles if it's a pine forest, and you can't get comfortable. There are mosquitos hanging around, as well as other nasties that want to bite you. It pours with rain, and then the trees carry on dripping on you for hours.
It gets really really dark, with weird rustling noises, which is terrifying if you can't find your way out of the forest. And if you CAN find your way out of the forest, why the hell are you still in the forest?
I'd assume forests are different where John Denver comes from, except I know they're even worse because there are venomous snakes and poison ivy.
So if someone said I filled up their senses like a night in the forest, I'd think they meant I look pretty good from a distance, but when you get up close you'll wish you hadn't. IDK, maybe that's what John Denver meant too.
