I thank my Dad continuously for playing Cat every Sunday, when I was a kid. This music has walked with me in the happiest, and the saddest of my days.
I was raised listening to cat stevens, one of my favorite musicians, used to sing me to sleep as a baby and young child. this is music, rap and pop whatever the fuck people call music these days cant compare
the words struck a chord for me, 40 years ago when I was 17. it's funny how lyrics can hit you at that age... i don't get hit like that anymore with today's music... who knows, maybe i'm just not listening like i used to.
@ekahiway when we r 17 we r much more open to music. It is something new. Notice how almost all number 1 hits r by young artist. Lady Gaga or Kurt Cobain or the Beatles or Madonna or any number of others were all young when they were number 1. It is no accident. My first album i ever bought was when i was 17 and it was a cat stevens album!!!!
try to be sinceare when you laugh, like all other thankless tasks. i have drank the elixer of life opium. down to the last remninates. a herion junkie, paradoxical.
So many hits composed and performed by Cat Stevens. This artist is a great great songwriter. One of the best this generation. I never tired by his music.
Say, if I laugh just a little bit Maybe I can forget the chance That I didn't have to know you And live in peace, in peace, oh yea Say, if I laugh just a little bit Maybe I can forget the plans that I didn't use to get you At home with me alone, oh yea yea If I laugh Say, if I laugh just a little bit Maybe I can recall the way That I used to be, before you And sleep at night and dream, oh yea Say, if I laugh, baby if I laugh just a little bit, oh yea

His voice, music and talent are AMAZING!!!!! I'm 39 and have been a huge fan since I was a little girl. My parents had every album from him brings back great memories!
@melanijosh This was the first album that I learned to put on the record player as a child. Listening to Moonshaddow over and over. Nearly 40 years later and these songs all move me still.
CatStevensDieHardFan: how much have you studied his lyrics, especially the songs he wrote while during his long stay in the hospital and he "woke up". So, the question is, who is "you" in this song? Take a guess.

Yes me too. I had lots of his albums. He's one of the best songwriters I've known. xxx :)

On herkkä ja kaunis kappale. Iso murheellinen muistoni palaa mieleeni.
Olin 12 vuotta kun siskoni kuoli. Tämä kappale soi mielessäni koko seuraavan yön. Kun olimme saaneet kuulla siskoni kuolemasta. Nyt haikeus tämän kappaleen ympäriltä on itseltäni muuttunut. Olen ehkä ikääntynyt jokin verran noista ajoista.
