Respond to this video...This album and its near sounding cuzin Budha and Chocolate Box stand head and shoulders above the rest of the Cats catalog 4 me . Hes always got tons of heart in his harmonies but like a Brian Jones Rolling Stones performance this is just extra rich.Has that little extra somthin sumthin I just can not put a finger on.
One of his best songs from the Cat era defintaly although as an album BACK TO EARTH is superior in terms of musical, spiritual and poetic sophistication foreigner is really good also, but quite different
I stumbled across this Coldplay-Cat Stevens interchange while looking to listen to Foreigner Suite, which I purchased several days after its release. Like many Cat Stevens fans of the era, I have listened to Foreigner Suite several hundred times in my life. The Coldplay tune IS a lift of the closing theme to Foreigner Suite. In fact, it sounds as if the record stylus is stuck somewhere playing the same few notes. With all respect to Chris Martin fans, please. He doesn't come close to Cat Stevens
Isn't this song a lot like some Stones' music from the period- with the Southern flavor (like that of Gram Parsons' influence on rock n roll-- the pedal steel sound at the start especially)? Mixed with the genious of Cat Stevens, it's great!
I love Cat...guys...5th of May 2009..new LP caming....Steven will use again ..Cat Stevens...denomination,....so watch out 5th of May new LP caming...from magical Cat..

"The old leaders' bones still beat on our homes
They built our life before us, we had no choice
The evil that's been done still is carrying on
And when they're gone we'll be the voice"
Sorry kids, we messed up, now i's your turn to fix your world, good luck.

One of his better and more obscure songs... the way he screams the last lines sends shivers down my spine.

The spirituality in Cat's songs remind me of the much missed George Harrison's attempts to make one feel closer to their own being.
