Discover the story of the song > Father Of Day, Father Of Night – Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

The song is about a father figure who is responsible for creating everything in the world - from the night and day to the mountains and rainbows. He is also associated with both loneliness and pain, as well as grain, wheat, air, and trees. The song ends with an acknowledgement that this father figure is someone who deserves solemn praise and is the father of both night and day.
