This is one of my favorite JT songs. It never gets old, I have probably listened to it 500 times. True love through music, there is nothing better on earth. Hopefully heaven is like this.
a true interpretor of the language of the heart. In brazil these people are called gurifim, which alludes to those born at the full moon from the union of dolphin and virgins who go down to the beaches for this specific mission. This kind of music I believe changes worlds and saves lives.
Don´t know what it is about JT - but I always get this mixed feeling of sadness an joy listening to his voice - its just splendid. Went to his concert last year in Copenhagen - awesome ...
There used to be a time when you could turn on your radio and listen to songs like this that didn't agitate you. Those days are gone and like my parents I say remember the days? JT was one of those artist that when you heard his songs you just enjoyed it for how it made you feel...missing the good o'l days.
the story behind it is....While james was in a clinic due to his drugaddiction,a close friend(suzy) died (suicide),his friends told him three months later cause they knew that this was a crucial time in his life.
Another reference to this friend Suzy is made in the first part of the song Fire and rain.
Don't know the story behind this one .Sweet Baby James was written for his nephew James ,the son of his late brother Alex.You are right many of his songs stem from his life experiences as do the songs of his siblings Kate and Livingston.His brother Alex was a different kind of musician.Sad his light burned out too early.
You're right. He is biographical. A lot of his songs are about coming from darkness/loneliness/addiction into light/contentment/recovery. Do not forget that he has had to overcome a heroine addiction. For me, this song is about making it through the darkness of our darkest nights and letting go of addiction no matter the pain.
When I burn a cd of an artist, I always put my favorite song by them first. This was the first song on my James Taylor cd.

Oh, wake up Susie
Put your shoes on
And walk with me into this light, ooh,
Finally this morning
I'm feeling whole again
It was a hell of a night

Finally this morning, I'm feeling whole again,
It's been a hell of a night.
Just to be with you by my side,
Just to have you near me in my sight
Just to walk a while in this light,
Just to know that life goes on. . . .
Morning light has driven away all the shadows that hide your way,
And night has given away to the promise of another day. Another day.
Another chance to find that we have finally found our way. Another day.

Such a perfect song.
This angel has sooo many perfect songs...
What a blessing to have James Taylor in our lives.
How many artists do you know that have even a fraction of "perfect" songs that this man has and so graciously delivers.
One of the artists...Garth Brooks ....swears that JT is "God's gift to singing / songwriting"
I agree whole-heartedly

As he ages, his voice seems to get better. Not that he was bad when he was younger but he has gained some qualities.

Does anyone know the story about this song, is it something that happened to James I am sure it is, he is a biographical writer a great one.
I would love to see him some day.
