    In 1978 my wife was dying of cancer. There were these smallll personal tv sets that were on a pivot arm. There was the hospital channel and this song played over and over by Richard Harris. Lots of time to think what was happening to my young 35 y/o wife. The song became to mean a lot as she was in the coma and I talked with her alone for the most part. Macarthers Park meant the end of our marriage and her life. After 38 years I still want to hear it.

      That wedding between Beej & Lydia had everything.
      A rebellious daughter, a undead mother in law, a scheming scummy manager/fiancée , an actor that thinks he’s a cop, wedding crashing cops & a Soul-sucking Ex-wife. Did I forget to mention Sandworm?

    Masterpiece. One of my favorites since I first heard it at the age of 15 in 1969(did not live here or speak English before that). After all the loves of his life, the one (Susie Horton) still loves him and cries when whenever she hears some of the lines in the song or is interviewed about it. Such profound lyrics and why do people say that Richard Harris has an untrained voice? He is great and most acts of the 60's were not what one would call refined.

    Richard's version is fantastic because his voice alone expresses all the pathos and anxiety that come from being rejected and losing love. The anxiety is typically displaced-- frantically angsting over the image of cake destroyed by the rain. Compare that to the verse where he sings to his ex-lover, and he is calm and reasonable. I do love Richard's version, but I also think that Waylon and Glen Campbell have amazing versions as well, for different reasons. Webb is a musical genius, and he wrote this song before he was even 20 years old. Like Anita L., I too met Jimmy Webb back in 2012, and he was wonderful, genuine and kind.

      You're right. The only version that I heard that I'm not a big fan of is Donna Summer's version. She sang it well, but it was too upbeat, and it made it sound kind of like a happy song (which it's not because he's talking about how a relationship with a woman fell apart) and it took away the feeling and emotion that this one had.

    • @U2SaxFan

    • @Azishome
      @Azishome 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      +Amykaribian1, I've never thought this song was about rejection and lost love. It's about the death of his beloved. The line, "after all the loves of my life, I've been thinking of you and wondering why" says that there is something different about this one whom he loved. The cake that someone left out in the rain and it can never been made again has two strong images: the rain is one. Literature of all cultures is replete with the image of rain being tears. In English literature, we call such imagery pathetic fallacy. And the cake that was left out took so long to bake, and he'll never have the recipe again has a strong statement that one has been taken away, and there is no hope that she'll ever come back, and he has no way to get her to come back, and he cannot take it. Going back to the line "after all the loves" clearly shows he has been through lost love before, but this one is gone in a way that there others have not gone or been lost. The wail at the end is surely a wail of grief--horrid grief--and not simply a musical affectation. This guy is devastated for all time.

    I was 23 in San Francisco at a party and I met him, older than me and my soul mate. This music was playing and he looked like RH even the accent. Next day I bought the LP and listened to him over and over. Finally years later we "happened" to meet in another time and another city through an impossible circumstance. We went to a hotel and made passionate love. We attempted to see each other again. Something interfered. One night 15 yrs later I woke up in a dream where he was in a hospital room with a fan blowing on him because of a stench. I heard him say, you know I always loved you. I had never been sure. That song "say it isn't so"kept playing in my mind. I went to work shaking. That night I wrote to him at his old address in Haight Ashbury. I wrote "say it isn't so, say it isn't so..everyone is saying you don't love me". A letter came back from his ex-wife. He had died of a brain tumor. Tonight for the first time since 1968 I listened. I hesitated and I listened and I still love him, even more.

    Believe it or not, this song was on someone's list of the worst songs ever produced, and it floored me. I think it's one of the most beautiful. The thing about the cake being left out in the rain is metaphorical two the melding away of beauty from the most beautiful thing in life; all things pass, even wedding cake. Listening to this now takes me back to the first time I heard it, I was in the Army in Vietnam and me and a friend had just come from a circle of soldiers passing the magic herb, and my friend said, listen to this song, and it made me laugh and cry at the same time. After 50 years it is heavier to me now more than then. Jimmy Webb wrote it.

    This song is one of the best I have ever listened. It has feeling, depth, good verses and good metaphors. It makes one think about those loves we had but lost somehow, despite all we loved the other person. The end is a little tragic but fortunately, in real life one gets over lost loves or acquaintances. We all have a life to live and no crying or wishing shall ever bring the past back.

      Really, what I heard was MacArthur park was a place where Jimmie Webb would go out for a walk, because that helped him think. When he was dating Linda Ronstadt they would have lunch there. He also saw a birthday party held there ruined by a sudden rainstorm that destroyed the birthday cake.

      Could it also be a metaphor for time? Once it’s gone there’s no way of getting it back. What’s done is done and you have to watch the consequences of it. For better or for worse. Watching a failing love relationship is most definitely like watching a cake being ruined in the rain. There is nothing you can do about it.

    I love this song! Richard Harris was a pretty good singer. Wasn't bad at all. His voice was better than a lot of other singers who ended up with hit records.

    If I am not mistaken, it's MacArthur Park and not Mac Arthur's Park. I still love the song and the way Richard Harris sings it.

    MacArthur is full of analogy that's why people thought it was wierd and read it wrong. when he talks about cake he aint talking about a desert, don't we say 'you can have your cake and eat it too. we also say 'it's like the icing on the cake. 'it took so long to bake and'll never find that recipe again' i reckon means the recipe for that relationship took a long time to bake and i'll never find another you!

    Say what you will. The lyrics in part of the song are strange and silly. The ending is a little too melodramatic and Harris begins to squeal. But the song is great. The melody is what counts and the melody is beautiful.
