Mother And Child Reunion (000017)

Mother And Child Reunion (000017) by Shutterhack.
Mother And Child Reunion by Paul Simon

No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine...


Paul Simon wrote this in response to the Jimmy Cliff song "Vietnam;" a song about a mother receiving a letter about her son's death on the battlefield. Simon recorded this song in Jamaica using Cliff's musicians, hence the very authentic sound.

Beautifull scene ; and about the explanation, I knew this Paul Simon's song, but I hadn't understood what it was about (my english's not good enough...), so thanks !

The mood has changed in America today

Screams of 'baby killers 'long faded away

Guys that came back are no longer spurned

The heart is with the 'Grunts'

That never returned.
