cat stevens ♦ the wind
Not an edit. A song from the beautiful 1971 album "Teaser And The Firecat".
His birth name is Steven Demetre Georgiou, son of a Greek father and a Swedish mother. He took the stage name Cat Stevens when he released his first single, "I Love My Dog," at 18. His girlfriend at that time, Christine, one day said 'You look so much like a cat.' That kind of stuck. At the same time there were films around like "What's New Pussycat?" and "Cat Ballou."
He kept his first name, Steven, and tagged Cat on to it.
THE WIND
(Cat Stevens)
I listen to the wind to the wind of my soul
were I'll end up well I think only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
but never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
no never, never, never
I listen to my words but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil's lake
but never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake
no, never, never, never
