if you want to sing out...

I cultivated a love for Cat Stevens as a kid.  My dad used to play "Tea for the Tillerman" in the car as my sister and I made the weekly migration from my mom's house to his apartment, and I fell for his peace-loving lyrics and happy go-lucky sound.  His words spoke to me then, and have never ceased to enchant me.  

If you've ever seen "Harold and Maude," you might recall that Cat Stevens' music plays a pretty dominant role throughout.  I was thinking about that movie last week, and I was reminded of one of my favorite songs called "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out."  It has a good message and it always makes me feel a little better about myself.  So, if ever you're feeling a little down, I suggest listening to Cat Stevens.
