Sorry Son Lyrics
Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I have done
It was a long sad supper without you
I had to be cruel to be kind
We had to leave the past behind
La la la
And isn't it strange how people can change, oh
And isn't it weird how people I feared
They all seem worthless now
I will ride on my bicycle, I ride, thinking of you
As I'm riding on my tricycle, I ride
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I have done
It was a long sad supper without you
Please don't hold me responsible
I tried and I tried
It wasn't the same without my brain, oh
It wasn't a game, it wasn't a game, no, no
Not now
I will ride on my bicycle, I ride thinking of you
As I'm riding on my tricycle, I ride
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
La la la
Sorry son
Oh, I am so sorry son
Pretty song. I don't know exactly what she's sorry about (gave him up for adoption, maybe? "I had to be cruel to be kind"), but I like it anyway. I love how the line "thinking of you" is sung.
looks pretty straightforward that she ended her son's life in the womb. it sounds like she was under pressure from others ("And isn't it strange how people can change, oh And isn't it weird how people I feared They all seem worthless now") "i had to be cruel to be kind" sounds like the propaganda people pressuring a woman into abortion give. "i wasn't the same without my brain": refers to the mindstate she was in at the time, of course
'I had to be cruel to be kind" would NOT support abortion. I'm quite sure the baby (who had a heartbeat and brainwaves at the time and thus was a growing human and not a ROCK) would not consider death an act of kindness. This song could be about anything that caused a parent to be seperated or even emotionally distant. I'm going with adoption because it's the least selfish gift an expectant mother can give her growing child. (Yes, in your eyes I'm self-righteous. I'll wear it proudly on this topic)

@losethetudedude Let's say you have to chose between being raped and being killed. One would completely end your life, but the other would keep you alive, but suffering, destroyed forever. What's the worse? Sometimes, it's the exact same thing with abortion. What would the baby prefer? To die, or to live his entiere life in some bad situation that would make him suffer even more? I agree with you on most things, but I still think that sometimes, it could be an act of kindness.

Where can I find this song?
It's on the studio album titled "Bury the Hatchet". I don't know about any compilation nor live album which would contain this track.

If I was to guess, I would say it is about a woman who gave her child up for adoption and is meeting them for the first time years later ("It was a long sad supper without you").
Maybe, just maybe it's a Passion song. Look at it the way as follows: the "long supper without you" makes you think about funeral banquet of course, but also it brings The Last Supper. Of course, The Last Supper was a supper with Him (Jesus Christ), but there had to be another one "without Him" on Good Friday, after Christ was crucified and buried. Then look at it from St.Mary's, His Mother's, point of view, but the way like if it happened now, not almost 2000 years ago. Well, when She answered "yes" to the arcangel, when he offered her a role of God's Mother, she was kind to him. But now She thinks it was also cruel, because She knew her Son was destined for martyrdom, so She may feel guilty somehow. She feels sorry She agreed to give birth to Him. Now she gets a ride on the bicycle, like she rides the tricycle - she wants to feel like a little girl again (tricycle = children's bike?), like She did before "everything happened. She sees "the sun in the trees", so it's an evening. And she feels "the psychedelic breeze" - as usual "psychodelic" is associated with drugs, but in fact means just something like "consciousness-expanding". Would it be a blasphemy, if we interpret "the psychedelic breeze" as Holy Spirit? It would explain the not-so-sad mood of the song: now She already senses what's gonna happen next (Resurrection). What do you think?
Oh, I forgot: the people She was feared of, and now "all seem worthless" to Her, might be pharisees, or maybe also Herod, who She once escaped from. Now she's not feared of them. First, because they have done all they could already, they cannot do anything more. Second, since she's inspired by Holy Spirit again, She knows they're nothing but a bunch of helpless ingorants.
