    Best line of all time! "She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
    Like a watercolor in the rain." Your musical and cinematic knowledge runs deeper than your years. I know "0" people your age that know who Peter Lorre is let alone Humphrey Bogart. I'm impressed young man and we could be friends! You're one of the few real-deal reactors and I enjoy your channel immensely. Keep it up...

    A lot of the credit for arrangement of Year Of The Cat goes to producer Alan Parsons, who started as an assistant engineer at Abbey Road Studios when he was just 18 years old. He was the sound engineer on the Beatles Abbey Road and Let It Be sessions, as well as on Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon album. In addition to a very successful career as a producer and sound engineer, he also had a tremendous amount of success with his own music via The Alan Parsons Project.

      Bogart and Lorre also starred together in "The Maltese Falcon" - but since that was set in San Francisco, which is not nearly as exotic as "Casablanca", I think process of elimination leads us to the latter...

    Stewart was part of the British folk-rock revival in the 1970s and mingled with many current and future stars; he even shared a flat with Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel. This was his biggest hit, from the 1976 album of the same name, and he had another hit in 1978 with Time Passages. After that, he wasn't as commercially successful, but he outlasted many of his folk-rock peers and is still touring and recording today. He seems to be constantly on tour; I saw him once in New Orleans in the 80s and years later in Houston. I hear he has announced his retirement tour in 2025 when he turns 80.

In the end I think, perhaps, this is my number one all-time favorite song. The lyrics are the most poetic, mysterious, and descriptive I can think of. The melody is beautiful and the orchestration as good as anything George Martin, or Alan Parsons could have done. Dare I say, the perfect song, to me.

I loved it on the first listen, ALL the songs -- besides YotC, there was "Lord Grenville", "On the Border", "Midas Shadow", "Sand in Your Shoes", "If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It", "Flying Sorcery", "Broadway Hotel", "One Stage Before". I played the album obsessively for weeks and eventually bought it from him.

    For someone like you who likes to dig into the words and their meaning this Al Stewart album is incredible. His lyrics are laced with references or are based on historical facts. On this album is a song called One Stage Before which is an observation of Stewart that on every stage he has played on countless others have gone before him and some of their essence is still roaming around. Musically it is my favourite song on this album which is an impeccable production by Alan Parsons.

    Al Stewart said that he wanted to write a song about nostalgia and the past since nobody was writing songs much about that , so one time he heard his pianist playing that riff and said wow i like that , from there he wrote the music and the lyrics but he had a different song title so when he sent it to the record producers they told him to find a new song title. So one day Al was at his girlfriends house and she had the vietnemese astrology book open to the "year of the cat". Al saw that and thought to himself thats the title he had been looking for thus completing the song

    So happy to have someone react with some kind of historical reference. When other reactions are missing so much of the incredible structure and lyrical beauty of the song... it just makes me feel old and frustrated. I know it isn't their fault, but I want them to truly experience the genius of the music I grew up with. Nowadays lyrics are very hollow and meaningless. When you happen upon something with substance... the artistry or musicality is absent. It's difficult to find truly deep, meaningful, artistic songs these days. This is why most older folks are stuck in our own world when it comes to music. Thank you for your reaction. It was quite refreshing to find a young person who really gets it😊

    At 79 Al Stewart is still touring. Amazing artist!

    unreal song work; like an amasing relay of instruments making hand offs

    These lyrics are poetry. I "knew" a girl once and I always think of her when I hear this.

    Gracias, Saeed, for another awesome and enjoyable reaction. I just seem to get more out of certain songs that I love - after your reactions. - Also, gotta say, that 'piano-guitar-sax' signature in Al Stewart songs is truly sometin beautiful. I think you'd agree. 👍

      Thanks! That is nice to hear.
      Yes, the transition between those instruments is so good. And so seamless!

    Blockbuster song when going to college. Late 70's.

    Al Stewart doesn't write songs, he writes stories.

    FYI, Al Stewart was a historian. All the songs are lessons in documented historical events. I learned English as a 3rd language listening to him. You won't be disappointed going down this rabbit hole. Try the Spanish border or Lord Grenville songs.

    "On the Border" is a wonderful, more energetic story song from the great Al Stewart.
