ABOUT THE SONG
----------------------------------
"Father and Son" is a popular song written and performed by British singer Cat Stevens on his 1970 album Tea for the Tillerman.
The song, whose music is soft with a lilting dynamicism, frames an exchange between a father not understanding a son's desire to break away and shape a new life, and the son who cannot really explain himself but knows that it is time for him to seek his own destiny. To echo this, Stevens sings in a deeper register for the Father's lines, while using a higher, more emotive one for those of the son.
Stevens originally wrote it as part of a proposed musical project with actor Nigel Hawthorn called Revolussia, that was set during the Russian Revolution; the song was about a boy who wanted to join the revolution against the wishes of his father. The musical project faded away with the onset of Stevens' recuperation from tuberculosis but "Father and Son" remained, now in a broader context that reflected not just the societal conflict of Steven's time, but also captured the impulses of older and younger generations in general.
