I hadn’t heard this in ages but I think a bit of maturity has set in that lets me hear Cat Stevens in a whole new light. I guess I always enjoyed the radio hits a bit but this really made perfect Saturday morning, quiet in the house, coffee drinking, cat in my lap, music.
I heard the songs as stories being told, well crafted vignettes that capture a moment and then proceed to expertly describe the mood, pulling me in to a specific place and time.
I really enjoyed this and am glad that it came up today – I think it was just what I needed, especially this song!
