Sweet Jesus, how I love Cat Stevens/ Yusuf Islam.
Nadia gave me her dad's c.d. of Cat's Greatest Hits, and then I saw Harold and Maude.
And then my life changed forever.
Basically, that's it.
I simply wanted to proclaim my deep and passionate love for the lyrics, music, ideals and messages of Steven's music. Past and present, I really like An Other Cup.
He speaks about a whole generation of youth who looked for love, happiness and away to deal with what surrounded them: Depression, Clashes of thoughts, and the usual inability to express what they were feeling.
And I don't think I'm the only one who adores him ( Rod, Sheryl...I'm looking at you.)
Whenever I hear " If you want to sing out, sing out" my heart leaps a bit in my chest.
Thank you so much, Yusuf Islam for making such beautiful things that make my heart-strings vibrate and my brain dance.
