#108: Fire and Rain

Tomorrow is a big day. The day that we will be announcing a new technology company. This company has been brewing for the past several months.

I will be posting more about this company on my next post. As I'm finish up the new company's website, I was listening to the song Fire and Rain from James Taylor. The song has some deep meanings. According to Taylor, the song has three parts:


The first part was indeed about Taylor's friend Suzanne, who died while Taylor was in London working on his first album after being signed to Apple Records. Friends at home, concerned that it might distract Taylor from his big break, kept the tragic news from him and it was only some time later that Taylor found out.

The second part details Taylor's struggle to overcome drug addiction and depression.

The third part deals with coming to grips with fame and fortune, looking back at the road that got him there. It includes a reference to James Taylor and The Flying Machine, a band he briefly worked with before his big break with Paul McCartney, Peter Asher and Apple Records.

the complete lyrics is here.
