@@welcometothemovies9157 partly but the part talking about Jesus is about getting off drugs. The talk about a crashing flying machine talked about a band he and his friends tried and failed to start. And the rest was about a friend he made in the mental hospital who had commited suicide. He didn't get told right away that his friend died because he was also quite suicidal.

Dear James, Five years ago my only child was killed by a drunk driver, who ran a red light as she was crossing the street. She is my everything!!!! I always loved this song, but viewed it as a love song between a couple. After she died I put your music on to calm my soul. When “Fire and Rain” came on, I heard a different message that struck a major chord with my daughter. I wanted to share this story with you to say thank you for writing songs that speak to the soul of your listeners. God Bless, Walter

@babyblue6743 2 года назад
I don’t know whether I should say this, and you may well know this already, but it wasn’t your daughter that died, it was only her outer shell, not her spirit, the real person, that is immortal and lives forever. I’ve lost many people in my life, and I miss them and it’s still very painful. This realisation keeps me going, and the fact they were here for a specific purpose and died at a specific time, that was agreed between their individual soul (which is a complex entity)and a much greater power is mind blowing, but the truth of it makes us surrender to who we truly are. I know the supernatural world exists, and God. Every experience is to teach us something, realising that this material world is not all there is is a great and comforting realisation. It probably sounds good, from someone who isn’t particularly brave with the dying bit myself, but it is about change and not nothingness. We live in a very fallen world, and bad things happen because of the conduct of individuals, unrealised and ignorant, and this is what causes problems. If all humans were evolved and intelligent, there would be no wrongdoings. We are the light and life of God, we are all spiritual beings no matter how misguided we are. May spirituality touch you and abide with you always🙏💕. Love and prayers.

I simply understand your loss & your pain. One gets a response on YT; it's often the top of the head thing. I have for the last 60 years not had to endure many such a painful losses. Has it altered the cource of my life? Yes. It's part of life. Most of us totally understand what you are saying and how much it affected you . When you let people get under your skin; they win and you loose. Nothing can change the river of history we experience. You must understand that most people are on your side. God Bless You Sir, These are weights we all must bear. Steven Pettinga, Indianapolis.

Absolutely spellbinding. Nobody sings and plays acoustic guitar like James - so effortlessly makes the guitar sound like an orchestra - and his voice reached into your soul. I have been performing acoustic folk-rock since around 1970 and James has been one of my very biggest inspirations - still is.

You must have been a toddler in 1970 ! So you have playing a long time. So many acoustic players sell themselves short but actually are amazing to others.

He could have kept this song to himself but he chose to share it with us and I for one am eternally thankful he did.

We had so many happy days & I thought they’d never end! Life is almost unbearable without Jimmy. I miss him more every day. When you’ve been with someone for half a century it’s very hard to carry on as a single person. I still consider myself as married! I’m 72 now & don’t know if I could ever find another Jimmy!

At least she was given some peace. I failed at my attempt, but never again.

I'm only 39 but have always been a big James Taylor fan, one of the greatest song writers of our time. I've always loved this song but it hits different now after the recent sudden loss of my 18 year old nephew. Mr. Taylor will likely never see this comment but if so, thank you Sir.

Wow. All these beautiful memories floating around in my head. 50 years, and they seem like they've gone by in a blink! That's life I guess.

Fifty years later from first listening to his song as a young child and just liking the sound... and now as an old adult I know EXACTLY what the song is about. So many gone.

James reminds me of growing up in the 70s. I feel bad for the kids in 2020. The seventies really were the good ole days.......

Born in ‘86, my dad passed JT down to me. When my daughter was an infant in ‘14, I’d use his Greatest Hits album every night during her nighttime feeding. Passed on to me, now I’m passing it down to her :)

The 50s and 60s were better. By mid 70s America was just beginning to be the sh!thole we see today.😩😞

This song really resonated with me when I was a kid in the seventies. James Taylor has a very comforting voice. All the tragedy that we go through as humans. This nails it.

Interpreting a song titled Fire and Rain, to me anyway seems to be expressing the fallen & brokenness of this world between the extremes in a most beautiful melody 🎶 A big strong man like James Taylor showing how he humbled himself to Christ Jesus for help in his darkest time of need is a lesson for us all on how vulnerable we are & we (Truly) won't make it any other WAY 🙏✝️🙏come to the Cross & Repent... Amen

The first time I heard this song it was on a car radio in Boston around 1971 and I had an accident. My fault. Fifty years later, I watched this video and cried. What a powerful artist.
