Willie Nelson Song (followup question) Yesterday's Wine?

Question

I posted yesterday a question on Yahoo Answers but no one said they had heard the track I was referring to. So I decided i'd upload a clip of it. It's from Willie Nelson's album "Yesterday's Wine".

Here is the url:

Can someone try to explain what the heck this is talking about? I am trying to figure out if this is talking about Christ or some other religion? Was Willie on weed when he wrote this?

What does he mean "under the same sign twice" and "I have been selected as the most likely candidate"?

Thank (for a second time!)

Again, i'm not asking about the track "Yesterday's Wine", i'm asking about this INTRO to the album.

Answer 1

I am going to repost here what I hadded to your question from yesterday. Maybe you did not go back to the ? to read it.

Hi Joseph, I do not have that particular album. I had Yesterday's wine on the "Essential's" album but Idid find it and listen to the song "Where's The Show/Let Me Be A Man' several times to try and come up with a crude analysis of what my interpretation is

The spoken part of the intro is two men asking the statement with Willy responding as you have stated above and then goes into Willie SInging Let Me Be A Man. what I am gathering from it is that they pose a question with biblical references being that Jesus was historically a Taurus born on Apr 17 and I take it that they are saying or Willie is taking on the persona of the Lord's "Messenger" born again under the same sign (Taurus) and as "the Lord" has walked the earth already, he (the messenger)has come to spread the word of 'man" rather than the word to man but he is asking in the lyrics as to what his purpose is on earth in relation to doing that and that it is his wish to take the presence of a typical man. You may read some inference as to his asking to be a simple man, living and working among the common man in order to be at their side

I will post the lyrics as I heard them from listening and maybe someone else can give you thier interpretation also.

Lyrics...
Spoken…
You do know why you’re here?
Willie…
Yes, there’s great confusion on earth and the power that IS has concluded the following…
Perfect man has visited earth already and his voice was heard. The voice of imperfect man must now be made manifest and I have been selected as most likely candidate.

Spoken…
Yes, the time is April and therefore you, a Taurus must go…
to be born under the same sign twice adds strength and this strength combined with wisdom and love is the key.

Singing…
Explain again to me lord why I’m here…I don’t know, I don’t know
The setting for the stage is still not clear…where’s the show…where’s the show
Let it begin, let it begin
I am born...can you use me….

What would you have me to do lord… Shall I sing them a song?
I could tell them all about you lord, I could write all the loves I have known
I’ll work in their cotton and corn fields, I promise to do all I can
I’ll laugh and I’ll cry, Ill live til I die, please lord let me be a man

Dear lord let me be a man and Ill give it all I can
If Im needed in this distant land, please lord let me a man

Before I begin this elaborate journey, portraying earth’s typical man…
Last minute instructions would surely be welcome, please lord let me hold to your hand
Dear lord let me be man..

Yesterdays Wine

Answer 3

People inter pt songs different. depends on who is listening to the song...my dad use to listen to that song when I was little and I alway picture willie and a friend meeting someone in a bar willie always attends to hang out with friends and drinking trading stories and he attends the same bar with the same friends everyday..they have attended this bar so long they are aging like yesterdays wine. the someone they meet is a miracle i always thought it was maybe someone willie knew from years ago and never thought he would see again epically in that bar. but if you get the real meaning of the song let me know.
