Year of the Cat – Al Stewart – Year of the Cat
The 1942 Humphrey Bogart movie Casablanca produced a huge hit with “As Time Goes By,” but “Year of the Cat” is the most popular song that is based on the film itself. In Vietnamese astrology, the Year of the Cat is also called the Year of the Rabbit – it comes every 12 Years and it is supposed to be a stress-free year. 1975, the year before the song was released, was a Year of the Cat.
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 rain
Don’t bother asking for explanations
She’ll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

Tämä biisi rullaa kevyesti eteenpäin, en ollutkaan kuullut tätä aikoihin.
Olen ihan samoilla linjoilla.
Jälleen matkataan muistojen moottoritielle 🙂 Mukava kuulla tämä pitkästä aikaa!
Näin, ei tämä minullakaan ole ollut soittolistalla, mutta heti tuttu kun kuulin sen uudestaan
Tämä jatkaa tämän päivän teemaa mulle, aivan outo esittäjä ja kpl. Mukavan letkeä, fonisoolo oli ehkä parasta tässä. Kissaihmisenä täytyy antaa 4/5. Miau!
Kaikki kelpaa 🙂
I love that track! He looks so young… maybe not these days.
Maybe, time leaves a mark on all of us.
