    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    Some of us have been chatting, and we want to recommend more unknown songs from our favorite artists...stuff that no one covers, but is still great. Mine here is Elton John...per album: Empty Sky - Sails, Empty Sky (Lady What's Tomorrow with drummer Nigel Olsson) Elton John - The King Must Die, I Need You to Turn To, The Greatest Discovery Tumbleweed Connection - Come Down in Time, Talking Old Soldiers, Where to Now St. Peter 17-11-70 - this is what Elton, Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson sounded like in the beginning. Elton says he hates this album "Because I can't play that good anymore". Live. Friends - Can I Put You On, Friends Madman Across the Water - Holiday Inn, Madman Across the Water Honky Château - Honky Cat, Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player - Blues for Baby and Me, Texan Love Song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - All the Girls Love Alice, Harmony, Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n Roll) Caribou - Ticking, Dixie Lily Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Tower of Babel, Bitter Fingers, Writing, We All Fall in Love Sometimes/Curtains (Autobiography album) Rock of the Westies - Medley: Yell Help / Wednesday Night / Ugly, Billy Bones and the White Bird Blue Moves - Your Starter For.../Tonight, The Wide Eyed and Laughing, Someone's Final Song A Single Man - It Ain't Gonna Be Easy (not a lot of choose here...it's not a good album) Elton fired his band and fell apart because of drugs Victim of Love - Warm Love in a Cold World (not a lot of choose here...it's not a good album) 21 at 33 - Two Rooms at the End of the World, Never Gonna Fall in Love Again (Elton starts to get back on the horse) The Fox - Nobody Wins, Chloe Jump Up! - Spiteful Child, Princess Too Low for Zero - Cold as Christmas, Saint, One More Arrow (about Bernie Taupin's dad, who had passed away), bonus tracks: Earn While You Learn, The Retreat (Elton is back with the band from the 70s...and is back in the saddle) Breaking Hearts - Burning Buildings, Slow Down Georgie (She's Poison) Ice on Fire - Soul Glove, Candy by the Pound Leather Jackets - Angeline, Gypsy Heart Reg Strikes Back - Poor Cow, The Camera Never Lies Sleeping with the Past - Whispers, Stone's Throw from Hurtin' The One - Emily, Whitewash County Made in England - Please, Blessed The Big Picture - Long Way from Happiness, January Songs from the West Coast - Birds, Original Sin, American Triangle Peachtree Road - the only Elton album I disliked. I don't like a single song on this.

    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

    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.

    Exactly! It's like giving someone a gift but they don't open it in front of you. Never seeing thier reaction or EVER hearing anything about it again. I've said this too. It would be fun to see their reaction of either how close they were or how much they whiffed. To me it just seems like they just checked another song off the list and on to the next one. Never really intending to learn about the songs or artists. It would also be nice to see them learn how big of a hit, or the importance a song has in music history.

You could sing, “I’m a little teapot, short and stout” and Brad would say, “Didn’t they used to call pot “tea”? This song is about smoking marijuana and tipping over. And the poor me is they’re feeling sorry for themselves.” Part of the fun of their lyrical interpretations is that they are so off the wall.
