LINK James Taylor - Fire And Rain (BBC In Concert, 11/16/1970) - YouTube

My first wifes name was Susan. I called her Candy, because to me she was so sweet, to me. My first 2 years in the Navy we lived on an island off the coast of Charleston. After a year in Vietnam, I called her for a hallway pay-phone at the San Diego burn center and she said she never wanted to see me again, she had another guy.. I was crushed. This song always reminds me of her.

Sorry this song brings you pain. It IS about pain, but an entirely different kind.

Like many other lyricists, James Taylor is a remarkable poet.

I guess I can see your emotional connection to this song, but he actually wrote it about a female friend that committed suicide. Still, a loss is a loss...
