| Jackson Browne – My Opening Farewell Lyrics

I tend to agree that it's about a daughter leaving home for the first time. The line that convinces me is "a child's drawing is left there on the table, and a woman's silk is lying on the floor", representing a girl who has grown up in the home, and is now going out on her own. Also, not many couples splitting up offer to keep the option to reunite open: "there's a train every day, leaving either way". But a parent telling a daughter she can come home whenever she wants (and her telling her Dad he can feel free to visit her any time) is a far more plausible explanation. |

| Jackson Browne – Daddy's Tune Lyrics
| 11 years ago

When my father passed away, this song was the first one I listened to; and it was completely accidental. I wound up listening to it at least five times, crying my eyes out. Up until that point, I thought (and actually wanted to believe) my Dad and I were as different as night and day, but this song made me realize I had been wrong. I had actually become much like him. "Make room for my 45s along beside your 78s/Nothing survives, but the way we live our lives". |
