I like revenge
Al Stewart school I met him before
Cmaj7 – Bm/D – Em
(For those who may care)
I stared at the album cover for hours and hours. Always gave myself a pat on the back when I discovered a new cat reference that I didn,t notice. Great album.
Just like Boston, Al Stewart was rushed into a second album.
Expertly crafted imagery. Arguably the most lyrically enchanting story line of any modern rock song.
when that haunting piano riff starts; you're hooked
Something about this song evokes emotion I can’t describe
A rare gem men let all your conversation be about him Jim 🍞
I have to thank my Aunt Doris for getting me. Into Al Stewart….. Year of the Cat….. I have the CD…..
I listen to this song, and suddenly I'm a kid getting ready for school on a rainy day all over again 😉🌩
The most beautifully worded song.
Timeless, holds time??
the time we used to use incense and patchuli and make love together in peace and harmony, many kisses for all of you lovers of music
Bands and audio engineers. This is how you mix a song. Bass drum and bass guitar out front. It's that simple. You're welcome…
This song takes me back to my younger and careless years thank you
I listen to it becaos
I just tune into my playlist and comletely disappear from a world in constant despair
Tu m'aimes ou tu me quittes ? Je surfe sur ton amour encore et encore
My blue-eyed woman keeps on my mind since I heard this lovely song! People, this is the 70th's!!
Ooh, found this guy on the radio, smoking weed, back in the 70's . Nothing has changed
this is timeless
Invisible ships of Kittim
About every instrument in the book. Great composure. I am surprised it never got the radio time it deserved.
Year of the Cat
Al Stewart
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 watercolor in the reign
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 two
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
While she looks at you so coolly
And her eyes shine like the MOON in the SEA (c)
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 your choice you've 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
Year of the cat

WICKED BASS LICKS IN THIS TUNE
Good morning
One of the songs on the radio in 1977/8 when I first arrived in England . And, for my sins, still here. ???? I must love England big time .And I do!!! Even though French. The enemy hereditaire. ???. The other one being the eagle "If you leave me now" and Abba of course. Jesus such an amount of memories. A lifetime of them.!!!
As a little girl I use to love this song because it talk about cats. And I was a little girl who loved cats and good music. I still love cats and good music.
Class❤️
Hummmm le soleil couchant j ai 10 ans
I'm heading back to 1977 and I wouldn't have any regrets of returning back to the present shit we have today!!
So frickin' good..
Some songs play like a movie in your head. This is one for me. Another one is Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.
This song brings back such amazing memories of me and merry sitting in her kitchen, hangin and chillin
His best song from arguably his best album, 'Year of the Cat', tho 'On the Border' is a close second.
A youngster came to me and asked, "Which one steals?" Referring to the animal kingdom, I replied, "The black cat!" And here's proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFhWyip-54A
This song is a classic from long ago
I don't think people realize how beautiful a song this really was thanks
Get the album it's brilliant.

More than word
Incredible music!!!!
You know sometime your're bound to leave her………….
Thanks to this song I am on a quest to find that perfect silk dress (I already got the patchouli…)
I feel like I'm in Spain or somewhere exotic … just exquisite, timeless music !!!
Lovely song! Classic!
