Only Child

Jackson Browne

Transposer:

The Only Child - Jackson Browne (Album: The Pretender) Boy of mine As your fortune comes to carry you down the line And you watch as the changes unfold And you sort among the stories you’ve been told If some pieces of the picture are hard to find And the answers to your questions are hard to hold Take good care of your mother When you’re making up your mind Should one thing or another take you from behind Though the world may make you hard and wild And determine how your life is styled When you’ve come to feel that you’re the only child Take good care of your brother Let the disappointments pass Let the laughter fill your glass Let your illusions last until they shatter Whatever you might hope to find Among the thoughts that crowd your mind There won’t be many that ever really matter But take good care of your mother And remember to be kind When the pain of another will serve you to remind That there are those who feel themselves exiled On whom the fortune never smiled And upon whose life the heartache has been piled They’re just looking for another Lonely child | | | | | | | | | | Bb Bdim And when you’ve found another soul Who sees into your own Take good care of each other | | | | | repeat & fade Transcribed by Gerard Koot (Amsterdam The Netherlands) - july 2007 Email:

Cette chanson aborde les défis et les réflexions d'un garçon face aux aléas de la vie. Elle évoque l'importance des liens familiaux, en soulignant la nécessité de prendre soin de sa mère et de son frère, surtout lorsque l'on traverse des moments difficiles. Les paroles mettent en lumière le sentiment d'isolement que l'on peut ressentir, tout en rappelant que, malgré les déceptions, il est essentiel de faire preuve de compassion envers soi-même et les autres. Le contexte de la chanson témoigne de la quête de sens et d'appartenance dans un monde souvent indifférent. Elle rappelle que chacun peut se sentir comme un enfant unique dans ses luttes, et cela résonne dans notre humanité commune.
