"Fire and Rain" James Taylor

 The song starts out with the lead guitar playing a riff. Then the piano comes in to send it in to the first verse. This song has a very meaningful impact on a lot of people I believe. James Taylor wrote it to touch on the subject that we all have bad days and good days and they might seem like they won't end, but they do. He first talks about the death of someone, who committed suicide. So his intro was basically saying that, there is help and that you just have to keep going till the next day. This is a very sensitive subject for many people, because if you know someone who has committed suicide, sometimes it's hard to not blame yourself for the fact that maybe you didn't see it, or didn't know how bad it was. Maybe you felt ashamed because that person didn't feel comfortable enough to talk to you. Everyone has inner struggles and that is why it is always important to be kind. Kindness can go a long way and might switch someone's perspective to keep going. It's the constant small kindnesses that really make a difference. Maybe even a quick smile can make someone's day a little brighter.
