I cried so many times while listening to this song after my first love told me it was over, June 1984. It's June 2021 and I still feel that pain. The years have dulled the pain, but my heart never recovered fully. I did love again, but not like I did the first time and I'm sorry I've been too weak over the years to fully give my partners all they deserved.

Watching this video takes me right back to 1976, coming home from babysitting and turning on "Don Kirchner's Rock Concert" to see one of my favorite singers ever in this pre-recorded video and having my mind blown at its beauty- in every way- Stewart's voice, the lyrics, his clothes, the garden. There was no way to "re-wind" back then, but I was hooked on the song and went out as soon as I could to buy "A Night on the Town" the album that had the song.

Rod Stewart’s version is the one that maintains the hurt and vulnerability throughout the song, and that’s what makes it so unforgettable. Other versions lose it after the first verse or never have it at all. Sheryl Crowe sounds like she is just making excuses to let a guys down easy, not someone recalling pain.

It's not about drug addiction. It's about a person wondering if and how it is possible to love again after their first love is lost.

[@felixfranzen7318]

@@garybradley1 Yes, it is. The drug imagery is fairly obvious. But some people just don't understand metaphors and double meanings. For instance, for most people Moby Dick is an allegory about the perils of blind ambition and revenge. For others it's just about a guy chasing a whale. We can at least agree that it's a great song.

[@garybradley1]

@@felixfranzen7318 Yep, it's a great song. I based my comment on what Cat Stevens said the song was about.

[@felixfranzen7318]

@@garybradley1 Well, I could be wrong. But then again, artists usually say that, especially about songs than could have a controversial meaning. In any case, that's the beauty of art. It can mean different things to different people, even things the artist didn't intend or consciously meant when writing it. To me it's about how you never can replicate the euphoria of that first high (the first cut), no matter how hard you try. How it is to love something you know is bad for you. How drugs sometimes can help det your tears when you're feeling sad. Perhaps by making you feel comfortably numb (to quote another artist). Oh, and a funny thing. Melville actually once said that Moby Dick in fact is about a guy chasing a whale and nothing else. It is however widely believed that he was just fed up with journalists constantly asking him about the true meaning of the book. Also, sorry if I sounded condescending in my first comment. Didn't mean to.

[@garybradley1]

@felixfranzen7318 No problem. I have never touched drugs, so from that point of view, it would mean nothing to me. Take care, and stay safe. ps I've just found something on the internet that points to the song being (as you pointed out) about drug use.........so who knows? I guess the jury is out.

Every person who has fallen in love like you and I could sing this love' song forever remembering the first love.🎉

[@leahpitt9618]

This song not only brings me back to a very special place in my life, but it also makes me think about all the close friends that enjoyed this music with me as well. I wonder where some of those friends are now. where ever they are they will forever be in my heart. , There was not so much hate among friends and family. Oh, the good old days.

I feel ya on that. I was born early 60's, What a great time to grow up. 70's & 80's Rocked and were so much fun. It's a shame the young generation will NEVER experience what we did. I'm thankful for a great childhood .

[@lenmitchell7529]

I saw him twice in Vancouver. The first concert was astounding- better than studio sound, and his energy! The second time I got talking to his booze delivery man backstage - he'd been on an (even for Rod) epic bender. Didn't even know the words to Maggie May. Give him a knighthood!

[@EnjoyLifeBeKind1317]

@@prasanthselvadurai3450 I don't know, I was downloading dozens of Cat's songs today (6-27-23), LOVE him! Huge fan! and came across this song on an album I didn't know, I listened & was like "?!?" No, that isn't quite it... LOL... after I searched, I realized it was that he wrote it, but Rod's version was the one I had heard 1st in my youth & the only one I was familiar with... Rod's is the only one that "sounds" right to me... But so many of Cat's songs I enjoy so much, even ones that never got radio play! So, this is no disrespect to Cat - perhaps it is just a timing thing, but I feel the sadness & soulfulness in Rod's version more.

[@Stephen.C.]

You havnt heard the original, and best then. PP Arnold

[@EnjoyLifeBeKind1317]

@ssfifty - I HAVE heard the original, by Cat Stevens, that was the point of my post. WHEN I heard it, it didn't sound "right" to me, because I had grown up listening to Rod's version & consequently, like it better. Possibly, it is ONLY because it is what I am used to (like Momma's cooking vs. a noted chef's of a certain dish 🤷‍♀️). Nothing against Cat, because I LOVE his music & listen to much of it, full albums, even the songs that never got radio play are among my favorites... but for "The First Cut Is the Deepest", I MUCH prefer Rod's soulful rendition. People do not have to agree, it doesn't ruin either artist or either version of the song. 😊

[@johnalbert4789]

I listened to Rod , back in the 70s but really didn't understand it until about 1983 ...brought my own kids up with his music!!

This a really beautiful song, so magically woven together. It's nice to meet you. If you don't mind I would love us to be friends. I understand that we don't know each other before now but one thing I believe is that it takes only a minute to accept friendship and that's why I have asked us to accept my request of friendship. It would be an honor, l'm looking forward to a good friendship between us. May I ask where you are from?

@@happycrimson commercialised rubbish that is written by others and approved of producers because they feel it suits the youth.

[@happycrimson]

@@YTPEXPERT Interesting that you say "written by others". A lot of songs that I'm sure you would consider good aren't written by the band/artist who sings them. Anyway, the point of my comment was to tacitly point out the fact that music elitists are really annoying and oftentimes have a really closed mind.
