Released in 1970, James Taylor's deeply personal ode to a friend's suicide and his struggles with mental illness and drug addiction struck a nerve with a nation exhausted by the political turbulence of the 1960s. The song transformed Taylor into a superstar overnight and marked a cultural turn toward a more personal, introspective sound. Fifty years later, the song still feels relevant. We talk about what makes the song work lyrically and musically and where "Fire & Rain" would fall on the Enneagram if it was a person.
