He is trying to rekindle a romance that not only never existed at all for her in the past but there is still no possibility of starting one now. And even after she makes an excuse and leaves, he believes there was/is something there. As the chorus says, a fool sees what he believes and no wise man can talk him out of it.

Great song. Its about a man (fool) that believes that there was something between him and this woman, but she doesn't see it that way.

Whenever you listen to Michael McDonald, lyric videos are your best friend, lol! Basically this is a story of two people who used to know each other...maybe dated but hadn't seen one another for years. He was always madly in love with her and tries to reminisce about the great times they had together and is fool enough to believe there's still hope that they can be together but she's not into him anymore now than she was then so she exits as quickly and as nicely as possible but he's going to keep believing.

Alight Brad, let me hook ya up. The song is about a guy who knew a girl or perhaps was in a brief relationship with her and runs into her again years later. In his mind he's thinking they can kindle or re-kindle something, but in her mind she's just trying to get away from him. "She had a place in his life. He never made her think twice...As she rises through her apology, anybody else would surely know.....He's watching her go..... What a fool believes." The parts you were having difficulty understanding. "What a fool believes, no wise man has the power to reason away. What seems to be, is always better than nothing....Than nothing at all... what a fool believes." So, he's just not getting the hint. Refuses to accept it.

Saw him in the 90's in the UK. He was backup for someone...er.......Tina Turner I think, I can only remember him he was that good.

"Trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created" Such a great line! If you wany to hear a song with a similar theme from the female perspective, listen to Long Long Time, sung by Linda Ronstadt. Her voice and the lyrics can tear your heart out.

This is on my Spotify playlist. For me, it's just yet another amazing song from the late 70s... I'm dancing in my kitchen.

Punctuation is important here. The key phrases are "What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away" and "What seems to be is always better than nothing." Translated, that means, "There's no point trying to reason with a deluded fool. He sees what he wants to see, and you'll never convince him that he's wrong. But hey, maybe he's HAPPIER with his delusion. For a lonely fool, a fantasy love may be better than no love at all." The song itself is telling a story of a woman who briefly meets a man she knew long ago. PERHAPS they had gone out a few times, or perhaps he was a casual acquaintance who loved her from afar. Either way, that man has always been madly in love with her, but she hasn't even thought about him in years. He approaches her and tries to reminisce about old times. She smiles politely, then makes a fast, phony apology ("Whoa, look at the time! I have to be going, but it was great to meet you- we must get together again real soon. Bye") and leaves. Any smart, sane person would see that she wants nothing to do with him, and that she just left him flat. But he's so blinded by love, he tells himself there's still hope, and that she may yet fall in love with him.

I freakin LOVE Michael McDonald the vocalist on this one. He’s a legend and icon in music. So many songs you’ve heard are probably written by him loll. I can listen to him sing me the newspaper

Most certainly not Disco but The Smooth West Coast Sound of the late 70's early 80's. Bands like Ambrosia, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Toto, Boz Skaggs perfected the sound.

This is NOT disco lol, this is a 70's CLASSIC ROCK classic by one of the biggest classic rock bands at the time. Check out some of their other amazing CLASSIC ROCK tracks like "Listen To The Music" and "Long Train Runnin'" 😊

Jeff Baxster came over from Steely Dan also.

There were a lot of jams back in the 70's and in the "disco era" that were soul, funk, rock & pop that were played in the clubs, but the jams themselves were not of the "disco genre" and many people made the mistake of "lumping them all together" and calling it all disco when in reality it wasn't all "disco." Such is the case with this song...

Hey Brad and Lex, the reason why this sounded familiar (specifically the vocals), is because the lead singer is Michael McDonald, who not only sang lead on the Doobie Brothers biggest hits (Takin’ It To The Streets, Minute By Minute, It Keeps You Runnin’, etc), but he had a bunch of solo hits in the 80’s/90’s (ie. I Keep Forgettin’, Sweet Freedom, Love Can Break Your Heart and the killer ballad, I Can Let Go Now), hit songs collaborating with Patti Labelle (On My Own) and James Ingram (Yah Mo B There) and he has done back-up vocals for a TON of artists, including Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins and Christopher Cross. He definitely has one of the most unique soulful voices in the last 50 years.

It's about unrequited love. He was still infatuated with her, but never felt the same about him. He's living in a fantasy. Michael McDonald slays every time. Check out the song "Yah Mo B There" by James Ingram w/Michael McDonald.

It’s even harsher than that. It never really occurred to her in the first place: she didn’t think twice. And what could her apology be? “I’m sorry, but how do I know you? Oh, you were Dale’s friend’s little brother? No, sorry. It’s not ringing a bell.”

This is one of my favourite songs because I can relate plus who doesn't love Michael McDonald's voice.

Dig it*....More Soul Music

This song was as others mentioned a monster hit.. Written with Kenny Loggins (who covered it on one of his albums) it continued The Doobie Brothers momemtum from the 2 previous albums with McDonald in the lead as he turned the group from pure rock to a soulful groove with his great voice.. Most long-time fans of this band prefer one version or the other but I think both were great... Keep em coming..from either version of this group.. well worth it.. right on reaction..

Kenny actually released his version first then the doobie brothers released there's which was more popular with people. But the rest is right.

This song is about a very specific scenario, so it’s hard to access at first hear. Basically, it’s an encounter between a guy who thinks there’s a lot of history and emotional investment in their past relations and a girl who barely remembers him and apologizes and leaves once she picks up on his feelings. He’s too invested to understand the illusion, hence a fool, and he won’t listen to reason about it. MM has one of the all time voices, his ability to maintain tone and warmth climbing the ladder should almost be impossible.

I think its the story of a man who meets an old flame that he's never gotten over. While for her it was a brief moment that she moved on from long ago and now means nothing. They have a drink, he wants to reminisce, but she politely apologises and gets up to leave. Never intending to see him again. While he is still in love and deludes himself into thinking their one time relationship can be rekindled. And no wise man can reason his delusion away. It's a touching song for me 'cos I was that fool once.

Two people who used to know each other meet again and feel quite nostalgic, they overestimate how passionate they actually used to feel about each other “trying to recreate what had yet to be created”.

Great track, Clear as the Driven Snow is my favourite on The Captain and Me.

Michael McDonald became the lead singer for The Doobies in 1975 after the original lead, Tom Johnston, became ill. It was supposed to be a temporary gig, but his work was so good, the band kept him on.

This is the Story about a guy who “in his heart, he believes” that this girl is still in love with him, but the thing is, she doesn’t even have a clue who he is. “The Wise Man has the power to Reason away, what a Fool believes”. The Doobie Brothers are from San José, CA. The S.F. Bay Area. They have 18 albums and 3 Grammy’s. “Listen to the Music”, “Jesus is Just Alright”, “Long Train Running “, “Black Water”, “Taking it to the Streets”, “China Grove”……. SanJoséBob

I have a very specific memory of being 5 years old and hearing this song playing in my older sister’s car while she drove me to my first ever movie, which happened to be The Empire Strikes Back.

Still love this song, after so many years. Haven’t heard it in a long time. Thanks for the good memories. 👍✌️

Classic FM pop/rock. Essentially a song about a guy who wants to believe that a girl still cares for him - but perhaps with a broader point that "What a fool believes he sees, the wise man has the power to reason away" - perhaps echoing the Simon and Garfunkel Lyric "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" (from The Boxer). For a few years there When it came to making radio-friendly singles, the Doobie Brothers had few peers.

I am one of those Doobie Bros fans that pretty much checked out during the Michael McDonald era. Nothing against him, he has a unique voice and he's an incredible musician. During his tenure the band got even more popular...so good on them. But I saw them twice before he joined and there was no band that "rocked the house" more then The Doobie Bros. 'Clear As The Driven Snow' (The Captain and Me - 1973) is a pure Doobie Bros jam.

By the way. The reason it has personal meaning for me is that I think this story is about an autumn/spring relationship. Which is what I was in when the song came out I was somewhat older than her. She very much did enjoyed listening to my nostalgic stories. And one day I watched her rise to her apology as it was time for her to move on. Sweet woman. She ended up doing quite well in life. And I only miss her once in awhile

This song is a true classic What a Fool Believes by The Doobie Brothers and of course one of the greatest voices in music history Michael McDonald👍👍👍

Good line to sum the dynamic is the line "He tried to recreate what had yet to be created" he foolishly believed that they had at one time had a relationship. She never considered him as having a place in her life. If he was wise he would have realized this, but what a fool beieves he see's.

Man. This song. It's so unique and special.

Fabulous song… and then THAT chord change happens, and it becomes magnificent !!! I recall Jules Holland telling Michael McDonald that he had bought the sheet music to learn these chord changes 🤗
