Smile OT; cat stevens new cd....or rather yusuf

Quote:
Be what you must



I have journeyed, endless miles
Seen many others, where I took rest a while
On this boat called “near and far”
To be what you must, you must give up what you are.

(Bridge)

Only on a wind of hope my heart said
Braving mystic oceans to arrive
Those who do not leave and choose to stay
Many survive

Be you dust or be you star
To be what you must, just reach out for what you are.
And though you travel many roads,
There’s but one way and that’s the one you chose.

I will try to find a link to the music...I love this song!

Thumbs up Thanks Beth

wow i didn't know he was still composing/performing at all since he... "retired" to the east years ago... and became Yusuf.

thanks very much for that Beth.

I have always adored Cat Stevens' music...

This is a very special song.

I don't want to upset anyone but I can't buy this. I used to love his music so much, but it just hurt so much when he said he never meant anything he wrote and did it all for the money. It was like a kick in the teeth.

I grew up on old Cat, but I won't grow old on it. I wish him well, but just can't imagine buying this or any of the old albums after his renouncement. I have them all on vinyl anyway. But still, thanks for posting this Beth, it is a good song and I will listen to youtube tunes though. I hope I didn't upset anyone by what I said, its just been bugging me today since I listened to the song.

Default It's ok Pam.

Hi,
I saw him do an interview on Tavis Smiley.
He did a good job -- came across as wise and peaceful and in love with music.
He was funny too.

Thanks Mari, I have such a knot in my stomach about this right now. I just feel awful about it. Kinda glad he's still making music though.

YES! I LOVE that movie! Bud Cort was awesome in it as was Ruth Gordon, she ROCKED in this film!

I feel better about things now, just was afraid I might have upset you by saying what I said that gave me a knot in my tummy.

.

the reason I think I like this song so much is because of this last passage.
It is so freeing for me.
It is about not questioning my path or my journey, the right one is the one I am on. it is about self acceptance. having confidence in that I am taking it one day at a time and that for today I am alright, this is exactly where I need to be.
does this make any sense?

I am facing a fear of mine tomorrow...I will let you know how it goes.

Hi,

Some of the message boards say that he still has a good voice because of the break he took.

I Think I See The Light

I used to walk alone, every step seemed the same.
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain.
Look up and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor.
Until you came into my life girl, I saw nothing, nothing more.
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
I think I would have been a sad man all my life.

I think I see the light
coming to me, comming through me
giving me a second sight.
