I remember when I first heard '100 I dream' I felt this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and in my chest- I then listened to it like 6 times in a row. It is such a beautiful song!

I think that feeling is the sign of a good song - the song has struck a nerve and touched you in some way. It's like when an entire audience is held spellbound, and in their awed silence you just know that they all feel this same feeling.

Cat's songs have the power to do this - and Yusuf's new album - I hope so.

above me, below me,

I think this is my favorite:

I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where it takes me well I think, only God really knows

Hey, all Cat fans, from me Tiffany Townsend!! Just been listening to a special radio feature of Yusuf/Cat Stevens, my Mum and I were both elated to hear his music of old and new. Here are a few lines to some of his songs, starting off with one from An Other Cup.
MAYBE THERE'S A WORLD
I have dreamt of an open world, borderless and wide,
Where the people move from place to place
And nobody's taking sides.

ONE DAY AT A TIME

One day at a time, we can learn to leave our pass behind
One day at a time, we can look the future in the eye,
One day at a time, we can learn to live.

Here's some more:

And in the morning when you fill my eyes,
I knew that day I couldn't do, ahh
No wrong, I couldn't do.

Hello, again from me, Tiffany Townsend, and welcome back to the Cat Verses section. Here are a few new ones.

Mysterious moon found me crying in the dark,
Heard my footsteps on the stairs.
Mysterious moon found me crying,
but the sun dried my tears
Showed he cares.

He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks,
A child's face peeped out and closed her door and ran back
Behind a misty glass on a window pane
A little finger drew a perfect heart and her name

(From On The Road To Find Out)
"... Well I listen to the wind come howl, tellin' me I have to hurry. I listen to the robin's song, sayin' not to worry" -- I love the robin part because I (gee I always choke up thinking about this) I think when he was thinking of eventually changing his path away from his current pop-star life, it was scary but he had faith that he would find the right path for himself and didn't have to worry too much, even if he had no idea where he'd finally end up. I just love the imagery he gives me when he mentions animals in his music. Also in Silent Sunlight he's got a bird singing and he's got sleepy horses... I don't know why but the images feel so sweet to me. Forgive my sappyness tonite, I'm on pain killers and lack of sleep!

I love all the songs by Cat Stevens, but my Mum's favourite song verses from Hard-Headed Woman are as follows:

I know many fine feathered friends, but their friendliness depends on how you do. They know many sure fired ways to find out the one who pays, and how you do.

I never wanted to be a star, buy my Mum a Fararie car
I only wanted to run my own race
So I could win a small place in your heart.

Here's one that my Dad used to hear

She hangs her head and cries in my shirt,
she must be hurt very badly. Tell me what's
making you sadly. Open your door, don't hide in the dark,
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me, 'cause you know that's how it must be.
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

his favourite one I used to sing to him.

I ain't looking to fight no wars,
No more talking trash.
I'm not seeking any more pain,
'Cause I've had enough of that,
But don't you worry, it's all right.
if you should come around
Any night or any day.
I won't ever let you down.

From "JUST ANOTHER NIGHT

Love, love, love, love must’ve made you on a sunday
Cos you taste to me as good as God made honey taste babe
And the sky all glistens with gold
When you’re talking to me
And the whirling wind turns to song
Why it sets my soul free

How was I to wonder why or even question this
Underneath her kiss I was so unguarded
Every bottle's empty now and all those dreams are gone
Ah, but the song carries on...so holy

Hello Friends,

May I please be a contrarian, and choose 2?

Both verses are from the classic "Can't Keep It In":

"I’m up for your love, love heats my blood,
blood spins my head, and my head falls in love"

-and-

"You’ve got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you’re thinking, and think anything"

Thanks, Folks!

-Bud

Hey guys,
My favorite verse is from one of my favorite songs "Tuesday's Dead" (it just makes me want to dance...always has, always will)!

"A man may live, a man may die,
searching for the question "why?"
But if he tries to rule the sky,
he...must...fall!"

and from the same song:

"We must try to shake it down,
do our best to break the ground.
Try to turn the world around,
one.. more...time!"

Al Wada :-*

Richina

sorry, I look back and see I'm not the only one who loved the lyrics!! My bad!!

but how can you pick just one - there is an amazing verse in every single song. Especially "it's so good baby it's so good" (kidding) (a little)

The verse that always gets me is;

All the times that I cried,
Keeping all the things I knew inside
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it

That verse Yusuf sings wilth sheer emotion that is just phenomenal.
