Al Stewart - Year of the cat

The version with the piano solo in the beginning.
Lyrics:
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat.
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
She looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat.
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
BUt for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat.

I would advise any young person interested in the second world war to listen to "Roads to Moscow" by this artist. Moving lyrics, great music and a history lesson all in one.

Jim Peluso I am 21 and I have listened to "Roads to Moscow" countless times. Great lyrics, great song writing, a great history lesson and a perfect combination of instruments (especially the guitar). A jewel for everyone who enjoys good music and every history fan.

This is probably my favorite '70's tune. You get two piano solos, two guitar solos, two sax solos, great vocal harmonies, great lyrics, great rhythym guitar, great drumming, the bassist is right on! What more could you ask for...

I think what makes the song cool is that they each get a chance to "speak" through a little snippet of soloing, and the guitar players, the sax player, the pianist and the key player each have a different technique, yet it all blends beautifully.
@mbuckingham63
@mbuckingham63 9 лет назад
Notice how lush the instrumentation of this song is: first the piano solo, then all the guitars, then the tenor sax and the tinkling keyboard. And yet the vocals are never lost; you can discern every word. Magic...

I heard this song for the first time in the winter of 1977 when I was 14. I absolutely loved it and the reason why was what you mentioned - lush instrumentation. The lyrics were also engaging and painted detailed pictures in my mind. A classic song for the ages.

I am 18 years old I heard this song about 1 or 2 years ago. My dad introduced me to this song. It is my absolute favorite song ever and I just think I was born in the wrong generation based on music. I love this song so much and it had been awhile since I had heard it last. Ive been playing it all day today and yesterday. It will be the last song I play today and the first tomorrow. I wish to one day see this live but I am just happy and grateful to be able to hear such a masterpiece. What else should I listen to if I really love this song. I have not listened to the album yet but I will do so soon.

As I'm watching this video, I'm mesmerized by those blessed, busy hands. So many talented musicians pulling together to bring this masterpiece off. It's a rare thing now a days to be able to spend the time to develop a deep plot lyrically and flesh out the musical arrangement of this caliber for modern radio audiences. Many listeners have much shorter attention spans than they used to. I guess it's not much different than what's happened in the film industry. Anyway,. brilliant work on a timeless classic, many thanks and much respect to Al Stewart and Company, I grew up in the Seventies listening to their music and now my kids do too..

1st time I've seen this version - a beautiful song that takes me back to Korea when I was stationed at Camp Humphreys 1977-1978 and times there. This song is kind of the background music of memories of being there. Really had to be there in 1977 at that country world that turned back time.

I heard Al perform this at the Royal Albert Hall last night. And, before doing so, he announced that the girlfriend who inspired this song ... was in the audience! Then when the now-extended saxophone solo began towards the end, the saxophonist, who was using a radio mike,was suddenly spotlighted in the middle of the audience, (I think) serenading her! It was a lovely romantic gesture.

In the late fall of 1976 I arrived at NAS Oceana, Virginia to start my Navy career. In each bar in Virginia Beach this song was playing. I remember the late bus rides back to base, my first taste of the ocean and seeing my life all ahead of me. So whenever I need to go back I listen to Al's song and I'm immediately back to that time and place agian.

Back in the day, 1977/78 in High School, this was a song you would hear all the time on the "FM" radio - which was considered state of the art at the time. This song brings back fond memories of the "days gone by", most everyone respected each other and didn't judge one another on what our values were or what we believed in, UNLIKE today's pompous generation.

Mira bien cuales son los cantantes que más venden, todo tias y tios que estan buenos y enseñan cacho, rara vez cantan en directo y son más noticia por alguna polemica, escandalo o modelito que han llevado en tal gala, que por sus canciones. Eso es una realidad, hace 20 25 30 años te pònes a buscar grupos y encuentras montones de canciones buenas y el cantante no necesitaba toda esa parafernalia porque la canción era buena, ahora eso ha desaparecido.

Great musicianship just across the board . Man what happened to music like this. Catchy melody great song structure and soft vocals. All leading up to a heavy Sax solo back down to the melody and that echoing keyboard riff simply magic.

I cashed a savings bond in 1977 when I started college, and bought 2 albums with it. This was one of them, and I still think it was money well spent.

This song has so many memories wrapped around it-but rare is the musician that can encompass so many qualities of music. I believe he's a musician's musician-from an audiophile that will gladly argue this point.

In 78-79 I was in graduate school when this song surfaced unto the airwaves. This incredible tune is embedded in my memories of that time as it is the cornerstone of all the good and great things that happened during that time. School good be taxing and monotonous but this song reminds me of all the good feelings I experiences such as an intense love I had and shared. I love this song and feel that Stewart is one of the most underrated artists of our time. This live performance is perfect.
