| Cat Stevens – But I Might Die Tonight Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Just like Father and Son it's the clash in ideals between a Father who has the strict views on a 'good life' and the Son is young, rebellious and personifies rejection of the previous generation's doctrine. You must take into account this song was realeased in 1970, the time of the sexual revolution and the rejection of religion. |

| Cat Stevens – Into White Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is one of my personal favourites by Cat. I take this song to be a piece of creative writing. To me, it sounds like he's describing the serenity of this surrounding. The words he uses in this song are brilliant, accompanied with the light guitar and the delicate highpitched strokes of the violin, makes this song a quiet, delicate masterpiece. "Green pepper walls and water ice Tables of paper wood, windows of light " "acres of sky" "A sad Blue eyed drummer rehearses outside" If you close your eyes and just picture what he is saying in this song, there's only one word for it, beauty. The "into white" wraps up the tranquility, serenity and beauty in this song in a conclusion of oblivion. |
