Cat Stevens Song facts: “Father And Son” was released in 1970. It expresses a father’s inability to understand his son’s desire to break away and start a new life, where the son doesn’t really understand why he feels this way but knows he wants to seek his own way in life. Stevens originally wrote it for a musical project called Revolussia.
Harmonica type: diatonic
