Tom Waits — Grapefruit Moon Paolo Conte — Via Con Me Paul Simon — Mother And Child Reunion Iron & Wine — Glad Man Singing [ Reply ]

LizK Mar 03, 2012 - 21:40	Thanks for the comments about the inspiration for this song. How long have I wondered what this song is about, and have felt like a real loon for chipperly singing along. "Who's the Mother? The Child? Is it about Jesus & Mary, reunited in heaven? Written for a movie, the meaning rising from the plot? What? What? " And here it is, a song about a late dog. [ Reply ]

KKeith May 24, 2011 - 11:51	My understanding is that Paul Simon saw the movie "The Harder They Come" with Jimmy Cliff, was totally blown away by the music in the movie, and went down to Jamaica to record this song and others with the same band that was backing Jimmy Cliff in the recording studio in the movie.

I tell my sweetie (who can only be described as a "dog fanatic") that the trade off for having a fellow being who thinks that you are the greatest thing in the world is that their span is so much shorter than ours. Never fear, though. That kind of selfless devotion and unconditional love is no doubt rewarded. And kindred spirits are always reunited. That's my simplistic view of things, anyway. Namaste. Yeah Dogs are cool. They are very attuned to alot of things,in many ways more advanced thamn Humans! ...and God well Dog spelt backwards [ Reply ]

Wikisays: The song was one of the earliest by a white musician to feature prominent elements of reggae . The title of the song has its origin in a chicken-and-egg dish called "Mother and Child Reunion" that Paul Simon saw on a Chinese restaurant 's menu. <1> But the song was written for a dog of Simon's that was run over and killed . <2> [ Reply ]
