Matthew and Son
"Matthew and Son" is a single written, composed, and performed by Cat Stevens. It was selected as the title song for his 1967 debut album. Stevens was a newly-signed teenage singer-songwriter, was performing to elaborate arrangements quite different from the skiffle which had, in part, inspired him to begin writing and performing.
== Origins ==
The song, according to Stevens, took its name from the tailor, Henry Matthews, who made suits for Stevens, who thought up the story of the worker who is the main character in the song.〔http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=282 Song Facts〕
Stevens later commented, "I had a girlfriend, and she was working for this big firm, and I didn't like the way that she had to spend so much of her time working. The riff seemed to fit the words, Matthew and Son. There was a bit of social comment there about people being slaves to other people."〔DeYoung, Bill ( Cat Stevens Box Set ) Liner notes for the box set from Yusuf Islam〕
The song was covered by the band The Delgados in a 2002 Peel session and included on their 2006 collection ''The Complete BBC Peel Sessions''.〔( The Complete BBC Peel Sessions ) Retrieved 3 December 2008〕
