This song is so beautiful, but the situation between him and his father is even more sad when you hear the lines about their conflict...

Personally, I believe Marvin Gaye died because he was too good for this world...he deserved more than this place

@TheSyndicate88 Actually the song is about social injustice and is consciously aware of the atrocities of Vietnam. The party at the beginning is a celebration of the homecoming of Marvin's brother from the war and Marvin found him "different." Yeah, PTSD
