I really liked Cat Stevens in the 70's...

In 2019 there was a Cat Stevens festival on Songcrafters ...and there were only three songs :(
Hook's (Peace Train) Ted's (If I Laugh) and a certain My Idol is Jahia (Kathmandu)

I think I'm going to do a personal mini-festival :D of some Cat Yusef Stevens songs. ;)

voici Sad Lisa  juste 3 guitares acoustiques et un Uke bass et un Melodica

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sad, Li?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me
'Cause you know that's how it must be
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa
Her eyes like windows, trickling rain
Upon the pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her
She walks alone from wall to wall
Lost in her hall, she can't hear me
Though I know she likes to be near me
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa
She sits in a corner by the door
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her
I'll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know no one can see her
Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

I love all the layers of finger picked guitar, sounds great together. Cool song choice, sweet vocals and a very neat, soft acoustic solo.

I watched Cat Stevens at Glastonbury on TV in the summer (what summer!?) and I thought he was the best act. I don't know the song but this sounds great JP. Lovely earthy sounds as usual.

J'ai regardé Cat Stevens à Glastonbury à la télévision cet été (quel été !?) et j'ai pensé qu'il était le meilleur acteur. Je ne connais pas la chanson mais ça sonne bien JP. De jolis sons terreux, comme d'habitude.
