"Father and Son" was my favorite....I am also very fond of Joni Mitchell, especially "Blue". Funnily, I was prejudiced against her during high school, then my freshman year in college I had a roommate with "Blue" and went whacko over it, playing it over and over.......

>>Father and Son always had a lot of meaning for me. I saw it as a teenager from the point of view of the son, now I see it from the point of view of the father- it's a lovely song. But Morning has Broken" will always be my favorite. Moonshadow is good, and Hard Headed WOman, and Oh Very Young.>>

Wonderful, wonderful, timeless songs!!

Good heart and soulfood.

Peace.

this father and son song would probably be considered one of the greatest Rock&Roll ballads ever written had it been played 20 years ago

My Oedipus Complex
by the real Kid Rock

I need somebody won't you help me
I need somebody won't you tell me who I am
I've been livin a lie so long it seems I've lived a life time
If you could see what I feel it would make your ghetto lood like heaven
And I believe it stems down from my family situation
I never liked my old man
I couldn't stand to be around him
Sometimes I sit all alone just starin at his picture, yeah
My heart turns to stone and I think of this

I need somebody won't you help me
I need somebody won't you tell me who I am
You never loved me, you never held me tight
Instead you shook me like a beast to wake me up at night
You tried to make me think that your ways were best
When all I was was an outlet for all your stress

Life it's the ultimate sin
A game with no rules that you're expected to win
My personal hell's hidden with a grin
Dad take the stand and let the trial begin
You said that oil and water don't mix though it seems cool
Keep with your own and don't fuck up our gene pool
UYoushould've went to school like your bigger brother
But you played the fool with a different color
Runnin' ship with a whip
I tried to keep up but I kept getting tripped
Money made you so wise
How could you look thru my face and not see your own eyes
Do as I say and not as I do
But I can't cuz when I look in the mirror I see you
And oh the pain how it hurts
It was always your home and your business that came first
You said a man is as good as his word
But your mind was closed and mine never heard
My visions blurred, thoughts obscured
And with my blinders down I strain from the heard
They say the nut don't fall far from the tree
Look at u then look at me...

You ain't nothin to me you've never been to me
And all you ever gave a damn about was money see
So now fuck you man you ain't shit to me
And it's the day that I die of this hate that I'm free

Now I know growin up son that it ain't always been easy
And I know at times I was not always there for you
No we never spent much time just talkin or havin a good time
But understand growin up son I never had a dime
So I worked my ass off and I put myself through college
And everything I have to this day u know I built it all
Oh I wish I could go back and change the years that's lost between us
I wish I could take back some of the things I said to you
Son I said I'm sorry but still you resent me so
Son I said I'm sorry and why do you resent me so

I always loved you I always cared for you
Just never wanted you to go through what I've been through
I tried to raise my fuckin family just the best I know
And now I'm hated like the devil and for why I don't know
Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Alright, get down baby
Yeaaaaahhhhhhh

I need somebody won't you help me
I need somebody won't you tell me who I am
I need somebody please, please help me
I need somebody you must tell me who I am

Hey, hey, hey
Tell me who I am
Hey, hey
Tell me who I am
I am, I am
Tell me who I am, am, am
Tell meeeee
Tell meeeee
