John Fogerty is really singing about the leaving off his dad when he was a kid. And the repeating story that he self left his wife and son. April & September are the months that CCR were touring in Europe 70/71 so he was long from home.
Terrific song was CCR's last single before their 72 break-up. The deep lyrics appear portent abt any reunion hopes - Someday never comes 🌴 Loved your reaction ENOMA🌻
Love this song it's absolutely one of my all time favorites only because my dad use to sit me on his lap as a child and sing this song to me 😢😢😢 miss him so much but I know what he taught me will be with me for the rest of my life. Thx Pops love and miss you!
Good analysis. Thanks for discussing this. Love this tune. For some reason, it resonates more emotionally each time I hear it. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular
This is such a great song of CCR ... a story that reminds us of Life choices and the consequences of the wrong. I love 💕 your Reactions. Stay Safe and Positive. God Bless you and your family today. 🙇🏻♀️🔍🎸🎶🎵❤️👏🏽🇺🇸🌎

Another emotional and melancholy song by C.C.R.
They, along with te Byrds, defined the entire folk rock genre...
CCR is one of the best of country and rock or Southern Rock. Part of the Pantheism of my youth.
Excellent reaction

Great band with so many really good songs
You should check out CCR's "Graveyard Train", grab the lyrics and follow the tragic story of a train and a Greyhound bus.

"Porterville" is also intensely personal.
The song is about: divorce
💖
Great song and decent review. For another along these lines throw "Don't look Now" on the platter and immerse yourself in CCR glory
Namaste. With respect
Jimmy Buffett - Son of a sailor
Son of a son of a Sailor
My favorite Jimmy Buffet song is A Pirate Looks at 40
This song is a haunting reminder that the sins of the fathers will either be resolved or repeated.
And leaving your kid behind....
Very sad Song.
