Farther Along
The Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While there are others living about us, never molested, though in the wrong
When death has come and taken our loved ones, it leaves our home so lonely and dreary
Then do we wonder why others prosper living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it; farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up, my brother; live in the sunshine, we'll understand it all by and by
Faithful till death said our loving master; a few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing as we sweep through the beautiful gates
Yes, we'll understand it all by and by
The Trio's song Farther Along speaks about the trials and tribulations of life and the questions we often ask ourselves when faced with hardships. The opening verse discusses how we are often tempted and tried, and while some people seem to prosper despite living a wicked life, others struggle and suffer. The chorus reassures us that eventually, we will understand why things happen the way they do and that we should find comfort in this knowledge. The second verse speaks of death and how it leaves us feeling lonely and dreary, wondering how others can continue to live when we are in so much pain. The chorus repeats, encouraging us to have faith that one day we will understand why everything happened the way it did.
This song's message is about having faith and hope even in the most trying times. It reminds us that life is full of ups and downs, and we may not always understand why things happen the way they do. However, we can trust in the knowledge that one day, we will understand the bigger picture, and all our questions will be answered. The melody of the song is slow and somewhat mournful, but it is also peaceful and calming, providing a sense of comfort to listeners.

After the first 15+ times I listened to this when the album was released, I had what I thought was a good understanding of the display of the voices, production values, and arrangements here. I saw that the album was 'good. The inspiration and craft was obvious. I and others liked it and played it often. Time passed. Everything changed as it always does. I passed my musical attention to other things.
Many years later, I hear and understand music differently. A lifetime of playing and loving music has passed since those times when I first heard this piece. I appreciate this music and its' inspiration far more now than I did then. Time passes, as it must; and we ourselves change.
This means, for me, that I now hear this with different ears that hear far more now than I did back then. The components of the music have not changed. Now, years later, I can hear that there was much, much more going on!
All this is to say that this portrayal of music offers the listener vastly different levels of involvement. The genius here is that every track stands on its' own for a casual listener. The basic lines are easily understood. But at the same time, very complex musical ideas are also there. Both the simple and the complex co-exist without interfering or contradicting each other.
This is very exceptional artistry. Further, deponent sayeth not.

The lyrics to the song were written in 1911 by Rev. W. A. Fletcher, an
itinerant preacher, while he was traveling to the Indian Territories by
train. Fletcher was feeling depressed because his wife was expecting
their first-born child in a few weeks and he wouldn't be present for the
occasion. He felt that his priorities were with his ministry in the
Indian Territories and wrote the lyrics to reflect his frame of mind at
the time. Sitting next to him on the train was J. R. Baxter, a gospel
music promoter who was quite taken with the lyrics that Fletcher was
writing and offered him $2.00 for them. Mr. Baxter subsequently had them
put to music and the song has been quite popular in the gospel music
arena ever since.
The song deals with a Christian's dismay at the
apparent prosperity of the wicked, when contrasted with the suffering of
the righteous. The repeated theme is that, in Heaven, the truth will be
revealed.

I did not know D. Parton wrote this beautiful song. The day Elvis died, I got out my Elvis record collection and began playing it from beginning to end. I found this song on one of Elvis' albums. I had never played it before. It was the perfect song for the day Elvis died. I took it to the radio station where I worked and had the deejay pay it the next morning.

Dolly Parton did not write this song....It was written in 1911 by Reverend W.A. Fletcher while traveling on a train through Indian territories. Even though he was feeling depressed because his wife was expecting their first child and he wasn't going to be there for the birth. He still felt that his priorities were with his ministry and wrote these lyrics to reflect his frame of mind at the time. A gospel music prompter, J.R. Baxter, happened to be sitting beside him on the train, and loved the lyrics...he subsequently offered him $2.00 for them, had them put to music, and as they say.......the rest is history
