Father

[shunra]

Hi evreyone ,
In the song "Father'', from" Back to earth" is Cat adressing his real father or is it adressed to another figure? anyone have a thought?

Lyrically it was beatifull.Conveying the questioning nature of children. As a song it was alright. Perhaps based on his father and other people.

it was really true that life is a dream

I read some where that Yusuf had lost his father some time in the mid to late 70's, so he could have been a speaking to his father. Wishing one last time to take a little walk with him and talk about the scheme of life.

This is my favorite song from "Back to Earth".

I've always felt that it was a quiet, calm expression of his spirituality, the desire to understand himself and the world within that context, and a "marker" of sorts about his journey at that point in time.

I've also always wondered exactly when he wrote the song and under what circumstances.

Think I'll go listen to it now...

Thanks everyone,

I didn't know that he lost his father around this time...so early on in his life...
