There was an old man who lived in the greenwood nobody knew him or what he had done but mothers words say to their children beware of Mad John. John would sing with the birds in the morning laugh with the wind in the cold end of night but people from behind their curtains said he’s not quite right. John had it sussed he was living the life of a tramp yes his bed was the cold and the damp but the sun was his friend he was free So here was a wise one who loved all the haters he loved them so much that their hate turned to fear and shaking from behind their curtains the loved ones would hear By: José Duarte [email protected]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un vieux homme qui vit dans la forêt, inconnu et méprisé par les habitants du coin. Les mères mettent en garde leurs enfants à son sujet, le qualifiant de fou. Pourtant, cet homme trouve du bonheur dans la nature, chantant avec les oiseaux le matin et riant avec le vent la nuit, vivant librement malgré son mode de vie d'errant. Ironiquement, alors qu'il incarne la sagesse et l'amour envers ceux qui le jugent, il semble susciter la peur chez les personnes qui l'observent discrètement de derrière leurs rideaux. Au final, ce contraste entre sa liberté et la méfiance des autres souligne une belle réflexion sur la nature humaine et la peur de l'inconnu.
