"While it’s now one of Stevens' most famous songs, “Father and Son” was not a hit in the UK or US when released in 1970. It did, however, eventually chart in Italy and The Netherlands in late 1971.

In “Father and Son,” a father tries to calm—and keep—his wayward son, who feels that he has to start a new life for himself. Both parts are sung by Cat Stevens, with the son’s verses in a higher, more plaintive register. The father addresses the son directly, but the son soliloquizes, as though speaking to himself or to nobody at all."

Stevens has said of the song,

"Some people think that I was taking the son’s side. But how could I have sung the father’s side if I couldn’t have understood it, too? I was listening to that song recently and I heard one line and realized that that was my father’s father’s father’s father’s father’s father’s father’s father speaking."

Please take time to download the song by Cat Stevens; download Tea for the Tillerman...many great songs on this album.
