Artist- Cat Stevens
Song of the day- On the road to find out

I remember listening Cat Stevens or more accurately / recently Yusuf Islam riding in the car with my dad, which spurred most of my love for the 70-80s genre, but I truly fell in love with his music the same time I fell in love with one of my favorite movies "Harold and Maude" in which he wrote all the songs. And as I was watching the film again tonight this song in particular played louder to me. Earlier (after seeing "Eat, Pray, Love") my friend Sarah asked me if I thought people had to go on "journeys" to find themselves...she said it in a much more eloquent and less cliche way as I just did. My immediate answer was yes, cuz that's how I did. Something about leaving home and going to surroundings that are somewhat foreign to you, whether college or Bali with a guru and hot men. But we both wondered why that was? If it depended on the person? If you could learn the same things and never leave home? This song made me rethink a bit. How change and knowledge and who we are all comes from within us all along. Then I wonder why in the getting away do we find something so special? It's an interesting question. What do you think? Either way here's to all of us at home or miles away from it, all of us still on the road to find out.



Well I left my happy home to see what I could find out
I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there
Many stories told me of the way to get there

So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out

Well in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder

Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song saying not to worry

So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout

Then I found myself alone, hopin' someone would miss me
Thinking about my home, and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me

But sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit yer
But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future

So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout

Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, 'cause there is no use in lying, lying

Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil's sin, pick up, pick up a good book now
