Song of the Week staff pick by MIA Family Resources Editor Miranda Spencer: “Now a folk-rock classic, this song tells of the pain of losing a friend to suicide and processing both the loss and one’s own ongoing existential pain. It was written after Taylor, then in his early 20s, spent time in a psych rehab facility (also referenced in the song). His own struggles with addiction and depression are well known, but the beauty of “Fire and Rain” is, to me, transcendent.”

Gotta love the God believing JT. My favorite of his is “Up on the Rooftop,” since that’s the first song I noticed related to my life. But all the God and Creative Designer respecting artists deserve respect … love always, JT.
