Fire And Rain - James Taylor
HMMM, WHAT? ;)
It depends...
Father and son is about a Russian family where the son wants to join the revolution but his father wants him to stay home and work on the farm. Stevens made up the story.
The dialogue between father and son hints at Stevens' lonely childhood. The song contains a lyrical trick of verse and chorus sung by different people with different perspectives on the situation.
Fire and refers to losing a friend to suicide. James Taylor who wrote the song didn't find out about her death until six months after it happened. His friends know of his depression and didn't want to upset him further. The line about the flying machine referes to the group The Flying Machine breaking up, not about an airplane crash as some believed.
Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
---> really like the part 'you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not' coz now there was a dream that i have to give up
