Steve Georgiou BORN: July 21, 1947, London, England My father was a Greek Cypriot and my mother was Swedish, but for some reason they decided to send me to a Roman Catholic school. I suppose that was the first anomaly of my life. Born Steven Demetre Georgiou, I was brought up Greek Orthodox, so didn抰 take part in the religious rituals at school; you could say it meant I started out life as an observer. My family weren抰 at all strict, but they did want me to have a good moral grounding - hence their reasons for sending me to a Catholic school. I learned about good and bad, and about morality in general, and religion definitely left a strong impression on me. When a friend of mine refused to kneel at prayer because he didn抰 want to spoil the crease in his trou More... (Submit New Cat Stevens Lyrics) (Submit New Cat Stevens Lyrics) Sitting | Reviewer: Rennie Manning ------ About the song Sitting performed by Cat Stevens I am of the Woodstock generation - but this song is about the spiritual practice of meditation - 'sitting' - and he says, 'sitting on my own, NOT by myself, everybody's here with me; (and) - I don't need my eyes to see." He speaks of the oneness with God or with the Buddha, or with whatever loving master one chooses. and this: "You're gonna wind up where you started from" is just about all that is necessary to know truth: but here is a quote that is wonderful and which I 'knew' somehow to write down when I was very young: "We shall not cease from exploration And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time." T.S. Eliot 'You're going to wind up where you started from." Lesson for Father's Day | Reviewer: CliveC ------ About the song Cats in the Cradle performed by Cat Stevens Guys, the REAL issue here is the content of the lyrics. It played on the radio a couple of times in the months when my wife was expecting our child, when I held him for the first time and we were alone together I sung him some of the words and promised him I'd do my best. I thank God that that both he & I & Mum have done very well together. The First Cut is the Deepest | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The First Cut is the Deepest performed by Cat Stevens this is a classic love that will continue to transend for many decades to come this will strike with anyone, because almost everyone at some piont in there lives loved someone or something that did not love them back. the lyrics were cleverly crafted and could only emerge from someone og great talent perfection. | Reviewer: suinemenius ------ About the song Here Comes My Baby performed by Cat Stevens I absolutely adore this song. I too first heard it when I saw Rushmore, and have been in love with it ever since. It is catchy, fun, while retaining a hint of sadness- all at the same time. better than any other song, it captures both delight and misery of a love that may never come to pass. its especially poignant for me now, because i find that situation myself. cats the man | Reviewer: Abu ------ About artist/band Cat Stevens hi I love cat and his music Is amazing. His albums beyond the acclaimed tea for the tillerman are unglorified but are breathtaking. right now to the cypriot friend who commented. Yes your right we are mortals death is a presequite ordained upon us by the lord and this is why. Any intellect like cat Stevens george Galloway etc can see that our lives are very short 70, 80, years maybe. Do therefore we must consider the future and what it will entail - life after death. Like cat says 'if the answer lies within why not kick out the devils sins take a look now' the answer is in either the bible it the koran as they have both been sent down by god buy the Koran is more accurate as there has been no manipulation or change in its content due to the Koran being narrated down the centuries through the process of memorizing by hear unlike the bible which has been riddled with change just to suit a certain sovereignty nation or king eg king hendry the eighth and the rendering of the binge from Latin to English to suit his plans for divorce etc. Now the lord says in the Koran there are signs on earth for people who see. It is universally agreed upon by scientists atheist or not that the chances of the world forming into a faultless existence exceeds the chances of winning the lottery 10000 billion fold! When I say faultless existence I mean the perfect temperature if the earth in relation to its proximity to the sun, the existence if the moon so nightfall enshrouds us so we can rest. The colleberation of the trees and human working perfectly with each other we assist with the carbon dioxide and they assist with the oxygen amazing praise to god! Also the process of reproduction the natural source of food - meat, eggs etc, precipitation and rainfall bringing life back to the dry earth. The existence if a soul which defies science. It sure exists because the stamp of a deceased body is the fact that the heart remains the lung and internal organs remain but the soul departs. Why then surely the human body only functions because of the soul why heart transplants recharging blood circulation around the body and any other repugnant method will not bring back life from death. Surely we must ask our selves what the soul entails where it will lead and the answers are inthe Koran a scripture only revealed 1500 years ago only 15 gengenerations ago 15 parents ago in the line of lineage.how can we defy this part of history ie prophet Muhammad when we can extrapolate every piece of information of the anceient Greeks Romans egyptipns etc who existed thousand if years before? Any true intellect searches for the meaning of life like cat Stevens and look deeper and this life is a gateway if not a mirage of hope and lust. One thing cat Stevens learnt he was not in existence because if his greatness. Are we humans so great we live for a prescribed amount of time then retire to our grave. Look beyond our intellect I know its hard but the almighty god has sure sent signs none more so unequivocal then the holy Koran. Peace Great song | Reviewer: Bruno ------ About the song I Love My Dog performed by Cat Stevens I find a lot of enthusiasm on Cat Stevens' songs and even if the lyrics are kinda non serious there is always interesting stuff behind them to think about... It seems like as if he had been let down by someone he loved pretty much and realized about the ones always stood there for him and started apreciating them for it... Mathew and son | Reviewer: Rick ------ About artist/band Cat Stevens I picked up the mathew and son album up at A rummage sale.Alot of the music sounds different than his later work.But it is an excellent album.I give it A number 10.I didnt know that album even existed. mehmet | Reviewer: mehmet ------ About artist/band Cat Stevens Hello!First of all i want to thank you for all these beautiful songs you've made.Sadly I didnt know anything about you until you converted to Islam.I'm glad i could get to hear your baeutiful soulful songs.And I'm looking forward to seeing you in Turkey in the near future.I'm not going to comment on your current religion because it's your own choice.( All of us are wise enough to choose any religion we feel we are close to.I'm also a muslim and im proud.)Thank you so much again for the great songs brother! comments on father and son | Reviewer: hicham el yahyaoui ------ About the song Father and Son performed by Cat Stevens I am a moroccan teacher. I teach English. I really enjoy teaching this song in my class.My students like the content of the song very much. If you are teaching English as a foreign langauge. Please try father and son.It is about a father trying to advise his son since the father thinks that his son does not have much experience in life.the problem is that the father only gives advice without trying to listen to his son.( ..there is a huge gap between the two....) Why was he denied entry to US??? | Reviewer: Jim (Guy, That) ------ About artist/band Cat Stevens A while back, he was denied entry to the US (because his is now Muslim, I presume). I don't care what faith he is, I grew up with his music, and it touched my very soul. I wish he would consider another album, even if in Arabic, and I wish the US would explain why he was denied entry or someone else can tell me why he couldn't re-enter the US? I CANNOT picture Cat as a radical Muslim or a threat to the USA, but hey, if I'm wrong, please tell me! This reeks of the persecution of Dr. King! great song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out performed by Cat Stevens I like the version they sing in the movie Charlie Bartlett, especially at the end. It's slower and more modern, really poignant. One of my favorite movies, and the song really ties into the theme. Watch it. Cat's Cradle | Reviewer: The Fug ------ About the song Cats in the Cradle performed by Cat Stevens Sorry people, Cat Stevens never recorded the Harry Chapin hit, Cat's in the Cradle. During the mid 1970s to mid 80s I worked for WEA Records( Warner Brothers) and CBS Columbia Records, now called SONY. Although he was under contract with A&M Records, I did have the pleasure of meeting Cat Stevens twice. I assure you he didn't record Cat's in the Cradle for A&M Records. However in 1978,London Records release a "best of" set in England called, London Collector: Cat's Cradle. I think that might be where the confusion started. Hope this helped. enough | Reviewer: casey ------ About the song Cats in the Cradle performed by Cat Stevens Cat Stevens NEVER sang this song. Period. If you believe that Cat Stevens sang this song please provide a little more proof than "Limewire says it's Cat Stevens". I challenge everybody here to provide the name of the supposed Cat Stevens album where this song appeared. If you are not prepared to provide this proof then just shut the f*ck up, because you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. My dad | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wild World performed by Cat Stevens My dad sang this to me since forever; and I have always loved it. Every time that I heard it is like seeing him in front of me; and that makes me cry and laugh. He sang it to me also when I had my sweet sixteen and I remember that night just as it was yesterday!!!! Prayer of Praise | Reviewer: Clare Parambi ------ About the song Morning Has Broken performed by Cat Stevens To me, this song is like a hymn of praise, A 'good morning' to the world. As I open my eyes in the morning this is the tune that comes to my mind, and not knowing all the words has given me a sense of 'non-completion'. Thanks to the writer of the song and the composer of the music and the singer as well. May God bless you all Clare Old Enough To Know Better? | Reviewer: gui ------ About the song Moonshadow performed by Cat Stevens just came in from outside where my silly dog was silhouetted in the moonlight on the snow...from nowhere came the song "Moonshadow" to my lips and only as I sang it did it come to me... now all these years later, a week after having all my teeth pulled because of an ongoing infection, and several months into the process of losing my ability to walk because of nerve damage, I suddenly find the song funnier and more poignant than I ever could have back when I first heard it as a bright-eyed but melancholic youth of 12... i'll bet it has deeper resonances for Yusuf now, too than it did when he first wrote it... Cat Stevens | Reviewer: Karen ------ About the song Cats in the Cradle performed by Cat Stevens I know that Harry Chaplin did sing it but I would really like to know if Cat Stevens sung it has anyone heard of an Album called TROUBADOURS THE ESSENTIAL ALBUM I've been looking for it has I have heard that the version Cat Stevens sang is on it.I love both Harry and Cat's music and I can understand how some people get mixed up let's get to the bottom of this and solve it .Thank you for your time and help. thro ur lyrics i learnt english! | Reviewer: aziz ------ About artist/band Cat Stevens really I adore yusuf islam's lyrics cos they were the fruitful motives to love english and learn it thrfo lyrics.I know that there is much to say about ur lyrics,all instructive and best teacher of morality.i still use ur lyrics for english classes and observe that my kids adore ur songs.thanx for ur lyrics! we are motivated to learn English and learn ur morals Cat sang the song, thats fact. | Reviewer: Chris Currin ------ About the song Cats in the Cradle performed by Cat Stevens In the 1970's my 6th grade class played a record at recess time with Cat Stevens' name and face on the album cover.We played the song "Cats in the cradle" repeatedly from that album.No mistake about that.Yes Harry wrote it,but like other songs,other artists sing them,not just the one who wrote them. Choice song | Reviewer: Rex ------ About the song If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out performed by Cat Stevens This is such a wolf in sheep's clothing song. It starts like a children's nursey school song and turns out to be about existentialism. A work of such simplicity and genius - it could change your life.
