LYRICS
Father:
It’s not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I’m happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it’s not easy
To be calm when you’ve found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you’ve 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?
It’s always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen
Now there’s a way, and I know that I have to go
Away, I know I have to go
Father:
It’s not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s 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 I’m happy
Son:
Away, away, away, I know
I have to make this decision alone - no
Son:
All the times that I’ve cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it
If they were right I’d agree, but it’s them you know not me
Now there’s 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? No

    I can't write or speak English properly, but I know that passionate people like me can understand me and feel me through these little big sentences." I am a very sensitive and passionate person until I have tears in my eyes.. And when I listen to this song I think of my father, a great man who died of cancer when I was very young. Then I grew up and I think of him, when he said, my son, I am really sick buying myself a piece of cake. Life without him and his compassion is cruel. I feel very alone. . I live with great sadness in my heart to be praised by my relatives and friends.

I can't begin to explain the effect this song has had on me over the years, but especially today. Sadness always but a lot more. Can't put it into words.

    My grandma gave me good advice. My dad was tough on us. She said ‘Yes, because we had famine, plagues, wars, and epidemics. She said, You have 2 kids and he had 7! Just know that we loved each other, she yelled!My grandmother told me to explain to my other sibs that for the first 20 years our dad was the only bread winner. And later in life, he did get kinder and more caring…so, give him time and don’t be too quick to judge the past. ‘We are the mirrors of ourselves’ We have to be the change or ‘the tough love’ we grew up with will carry over to the next generations.

    I can't listen to this song without tearing up. My father was my best friend and taught me so much about life and people. He was a quiet gentle man and never yelled. He would explain why you don't do certain things and their consequences unlike most parents who scream and teach you nothing. I lost him almost 11 years ago. He died in my arms peacefully and quietly like the life he lived with us. He came from a communist country and witnessed more than most people could imagine so his wisdom and understanding of human nature came early in life. Thank you papa. Love you forever ❤

    I'm sitting here crying like a baby. My oldest boy James passed away in 2011 two weeks before his 34th birthday and was going through some hard times and I was too far away to be there with him. This song has always been one of my favorites. God bless you James. Shoe box & tears I came across an old shoe box, on top a layer of dust Knowing memories will be awakened, I blew off the dust and removed the lid. Yes it has been some time when I saw all of you last. On a little pieces of paper, laughter frozen in time Yes, I remember that day, that moment in time I shared with you. Silently overturning photo after photo I smile at each one. I’m powerless and I slowly close my eyes as tear drops of time roll down my cheeks. I reach the last picture and slowly put the top back on the box but wouldn’t you know before I tuck it away I find one more shoebox behind it but we’ll save that for another day. J.W Brucks 5/5/17 I wrote this some years ago. If you have an "Old shoe box" bring it down, share the tears of laughter and sadness.

If you combine that with a college education in writing at a time when who you were studying would have been much older people I can see it. Bob Dylan was known world wide before he ever released a song for what he did for folk music. Paul Simon s early music and his career were modeled after Bach. I’m sure that graduating from Juilliard played a part in that.

    Well said, yes he did have this wise old soul perspective in his songs. I remember that sense when I first heard him in the 70's. I was in high school listening to lots of different artists and he was singular in the way he made me feel. I enjoyed the sounds but at the same time I knew that he was about more than just entertaining the listener.. Felt like he was always leaning towards more. All these years later that still holds true.

    My father was an asshole and not a great person, but he was my best friend and taught so much. The man wanted a son more than anything, but he got me, so he taught me everything he'd teach his son, according to him. I miss him dearly. He died a little over 10 years ago, but I think about him every day. He introduced me to Cat Stevens, as well as most of my other favorite musicians, and this song was always dear to my heart. I'm a woman but Father & Son spoke to me and has been my constant companion on nights when I miss him the most. I love you, Dad. Thank you for raising me with love and kindness, and being my best friend.

I was there to take care of him for the final two months of his life. I was shaving him when he passed, he hated not being clean shaven.

    I understand your feelings. My father and I were so very close when I was young and then...years and years of anger. A lovely woman came into my life and made me see that if I ever wanted to have a relationship with my dad then I would have to be the one to end the hostility. I did. We had 15 good years before he died in 2019 when I was 53. Now I'm sitting here, playing his guitar, crying and hoping that he knew how much I respected and cherished him, even when my foolishness kept us apart. If he had died during the 20-years when we were estranged I would be devastated now. Family is more precious than anything.

    Beautiful. Thanks for sharing that. I was 47 when my father passed 4 years ago. We hadn't spoken in almost 15 years. Our stubborn pride kept us apart - neither of us believed we needed to say "I'm sorry." The day he died, my sister urged me to come visit, saying it would help bring him peace. I said I'd come in the morning. He didn't make it and I didn't get to say goodbye. Y'all - be sure to cherish what you have, swallow your pride, be the first to say "I'm sorry." Like the song says, "It's too late when we die, to admit we don't see eye to eye...I just wish I could have told him in the living years."

    When I was in college my best friend and I would play guitar and sing this song just about every night. Shortly after that he died from a tragic accident. At the funeral a friend of ours played Father & Son. It was so emotional. Almost ten years later I had my first son. He was named after my best friend. He is now grown up and a father himself. After over four decades, hearing Father & Son make me emotional thinking about my best friend and my son. They are so much alike.

    My dad used to play this song all the time when I was little. I never understood the song I hated it. Now I'm older I understood the beauty and meaning of this song. But most importantly I finally understand what he's been trying to tell me for so many years. Edit - Thank you for the likes and comments and I hope everyone from Ted Lasso has now added a great song to their playlists.

    My Dad played this song on many occasions, practising on his own guitar. It was unusual music for us growing up in the 80s in Soweto, South Africa🇿🇦 but we came to love it. He sang us many folk and country rock lullabies. We still have this vinyl album in the cabinet, as well as many others like Bread, Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby Stills & Nash, etc. I'm here in his memory. He died 2 weeks ago on 6 August 2022 after a 4-year battle with colon cancer. I miss him dearly, and still in disbelief really, yet I know his soul is free now. I look forward to seeing him again in eternity🙏🏿❤️🕊️

    Just remarkable, I sang his songs in infant school in the 70s, rediscovered him at Art College in the late 80s learned to play them on a guitar in the 90s. And listening to them today 2022 I'm still blown away.

    @@jonnifjader Well, yes, he is undervalued, the new generations do not know him, the media hardly mention him, but nevertheless they overvalue other artists (regardless of the time they are) less talented than him. He started writing, composing, recording and singing his songs since he was a teenager and it hardly ever gets talked about, while Britney Spears just lip-syncs and everyone knows and applauds her and could give you many more examples of overrated artists from the *past* and present.

    My dad was a big marvel fan, he watches the films with me and my sister. whenever the latest marvel movie and he would let us know a few hours before the movie that he bought tickets and that we should get ready, watching guardians 2 with him in the cinema, this song popped up and I cried knowing that him being gone will happen and that I should get ready for it, A day before new years 2023, my dad passed and once I arrived home this song ended up playing. Ended up crying for like an hour or 2. Love you pa, see you whenever possible:)
