Sure I grew up on Tea for the Tillerman, sure my chilhood was very Harold and Maude-esque, and sure I have always loved Cat Stevens. He was popular right about the time that many moms and pops record collections were being absorbed and raided to form the building blocks of hip hop. And yet the general consensus is that this Cat is not Funky. Just like 60-70's contemporary Neil Young, Yusef (nee...

Along with "Teaser and the Firecat" this album represents the first half of the greatest one/two punch a singer songwriter has ever released. Recorded in around 1970 ...the spare instrumentation and wonderfully timeless songs still hold up today!The remastering was excellent on the previous edition so that isn't the big deal here...its the bonus CD. While not as exciting as the Bonus disc for T...

Maude: Harold, everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You just can't let the world judge you too much.

This ad ran in the Dallas Morning News the day President Kennedy was shot.It's time to cool this vicious rhetoric before we get another man killed. Things like "traitor!", "kill him!", "terrorist!" have been recently shouted from people in the crowds at McCain rallies. Today you saw John McCain attempt to put out the fires members of his campaign have helped start in recent days.... Let's hope ...

If you are as in love with the movie "Harold and Maude" as I am, you will have already asked yourself "Why can't I find the soundtrack anywhere?"Well, the answer from CatStevens.com is: "A soundtrack was released for Harold And Maude, only in Japan, but did not include the two original songs from the film."(If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" and "Don't Be Shy") "Apparently they wanted to both b...

Harold and Maude created an entire generation of slightly disturbed kids and goths despite never releasing a soundtrack to the film. Well, it's been 36 years but it's never too late for such a classic collection. And, if it reeks of classic hits, it must be coming out of the Attic. Light In The Attic has been releasing and reissuing some of our time's most classic, overlooked gems and they s...

..Before Cat Stevens jumped off the Peace Train (and then apparently got back on again) he was making pretty cool music... .What a lot of people didn't know is that he (like yours truly) is the product of a Greek father... Cat (original name: Steven Demetre Georgiou) or Yusuf made a lot of great music before he went all fatwa on Salman Rushdie's ass... .The song RUBY LOVE sort of slipped betwee...

I've loved this song for a long time........but becoming a father certainly brought me a lot closer to the lyrics. Johnny Cash did a great version but I think Cat Stevens deserves the credit tonight.My favorite line is "You will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not"Today was a good day..........and this little guy is mine!!!

I'm ambiguous, as it's in my nature to be, about Valentine's Day. Usually on this day, I put up my favourite song, ever, "Origin of Love". But "How Can I Tell You?" was on one of those best-of CDs my future ex-husband gave me at Christmas, and I'd never heard it before! How can that be? How could I possibly have missed a Cat Stevens song! I even owned - _owned_ - Izitso, although maybe that...

Angelsea She moves like and angel And seven evening stars Dance through the window Of her universal house He voice a crystal echo Lies humming in your soul So patiently awaiting For your ears to behold She ripples on the water Leaves diamonds on the shore And fish from every distance Watch her ocean cellar door Her breath a warm fire In every lovers heart A mistress to magicians And a dancer ...

So, on some diamonds commercial, there's a cover of Cat Steven's How Can I Tell You... and I really love it. It's a female singer, and it sounds like Rachael Yamagata.I looked for it on iTunes, but it's not available. Maybe it's just for the commercial, but if anyone knows where I can get it, let me know!Or if you know who really sings it!

I heard this song today at work while listening to my MP3 player and thought that it worth posting. STEVENS CAT lyrics

Have you ever loved a song and then a remake comes and you fall in love with that version too?One of my favorite Cat Steven's songs growing up was Father and Son. Years ago during the boy band phase (yes I like boy bands), I got into a band called Boyzone. I think I heard that one of the boyz was related to Andrew Lloyd Webber. Anywhoo, Boyzone put out a cover of Father and Son which I also fel...
