The song is generally assumed to have been inspired by Browne's brief relationship with Joni Mitchell.
This talks about disappointment, but in a forgiving way," he explained to Mojo. "It acknowledges that people are always looking for something in each other that they may not find, and says that not only is that OK, but what's more enduring is the goodwill and acceptance of each others' right to be on this search and to make your own choices, and that one's longing or sorrow is part of your own search, not a byproduct of somebody else's.
Los Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn said that "Fountain of Sorrow" "speaks of the perennial search for someone new – an effort that combines some renewed optimism with the lingering knowledge of past failures."[7]
In his 1974 Rolling Stone review of Late for the Sky, Stephen Holden wrote that the song "develops parallel themes of sex and nothingness, fantasy and realism, as Browne, looking at the photograph of a former lover, recalls:"
When you see through love's illusion, there lies the danger
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life
Like a fountain from a pool...
"In the chorus, highly romanticized sexuality becomes a 'fountain of sorrow, fountain of light.' Later in the album the water images are developed into a larger metaphor for death and rebirth," wrote Holden
