I Was IN A Childrens HOME With My Two Youger Brothers. in 1967 and This Man Came on the Telly and sat On a Stool With a Guitar And Played MATHEW & Son !!! and IT Pushed Me ON to FACE the World and Be MY OWN BOSS. !!!☺g
When I first heard this album I was at a night pool party in the hills of Sun Valley CA. We were all in junior high school. Life was fun and full of hope for the future. Little did I know how complicated the world would become. I'm now 65 years old. If I've learned anything, it's to appreciate the few golden moments life has to offer. Love is all that matters in the end. Love yourself and others. God bless us all.......
God Bless you as well!🙏🏻🦋
I was in Bangkok, Thailand, a daughter, a FRIEND, SHOUT OUT TO ISB !!!!!
I would like people to. Help we were
International kids?? Eric clapton... Eriwan 80 bangkok!!
One of the Best Albums of my high school days. Still have the vinyl and still play it. I would go down to San Pedro Beach in. 76 280Z and sing this at the top of my lungs and look out to Catalina Island ❤
God bless you and peace for the world
As beautiful and soul-wrenching as when I first listened to this album in the 1970's. It all goes by in the blink of an eye. Seize the moment! Be kind.
Sounds great ❤ seen him play back in the 70th good times still love album 🌹
@@Kennethjd Where did you see him play?
Hi karen seen him play back in the 70s.music hall BOSTON ma good times but they do fly bye 🌹
Nice comment 🌹 ❤
We all need to get on "The Peace Train" !!
My Mom, who passed away a few years ago, loved and played this album for me when I was a child. My name is Lisa and I am still seeking a man looking for a hard headed woman. lol
LOL, good luck in todays environment, Sadly men (& woman) got much worse, not better.
Hi Hard headed woman, let your shoulders drop,stop seeking and I feel it will just happen for you……. It did for me.
If I find my hard-headed woman, I know the rest of my life will be blessed. .
I was born in 1954, so the late 60' and the 70's was my era. I have to say that Tea For The Tillerman is on my top 10 altime favorite albums list. This album and Tapestry are great on both sides as well as every song. I still go to this album often. ❤❤❤❤❤. Janis Ian, Stars is another incredible album from that era. These are all from my folks favs. Rock n' roll, so different... Lol
you forgot Leonard Cohen songs of 1967 ?
Born in '54 too and yes,this is in my top 5 desert island discs.
My Mom used to play this album all the time. She passed away over 20 years ago, These songs put tears in my eyes cause I miss her so much.
That's nice to remember the songs she loved and I know she's celebrating this !!! I would also !!! 🙏🏼💜
Me too 1953
I came back from Vietnam August 1970. This is one of the first albums I bought. I still play the album. I would light a joint in my 1st apt. Then just relax from working a full time job plus going to school under the GI bill getting my degree. Agent Orange has made me fight again for my life 4x I will keep f…… fighting to live. God Bless our veterans.❤
Thank you for your service darling...bless YOU! Was a wee 6 year old listening to this album in 1976.... My uncle Howard Bush was over there with you in that terrible war. I'm so sorry you had to be there. My uncle would never talk about it. Vietnam should never have happened...I will never get it.
You kept your head down long enough. Keep your head high brother. I was a 60 gunner back then.
Man I just watched a documentary on Dow Chemical’s fucked up deal with agent orange, poisoned our people over seas and at home in the towns surrounding the factory where they made that shit-even tested it on unsuspecting prisoners in the USA. And got clean away with it.
God Bless YOU, please keep fighting!!!
Best of everything to you man.
God Bless you.
I went to college at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970. Cat’s big hit “Tea for the Tillerman was in the jukebox in the Student Union. The cheeky record installer made the selection “T4.” Remember it like it was yesterday.
Wow, Kent State ‘70
God Love You
Cat stevens neil young Joni Mitchell Carly Simon James Taylor just to name a few what a wonderful time we lived in this music stands the test of time. It’s been 50 years but this music puts me back there being young and free with big dreams. Thank you for the beautiful music from all the artists
You're absolutely right & what fabulous gifts they are. They're everlasting
My brother loved Cat Steven's, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and Melanie.
I was a Led Zeppelin kind of guy. My brother was haunted by the demons of his life and recently passed away well before his time.
So I found myself downloading his music to my Spotify and listening to his music as I headed north up Pacific coast highway.This song came on and before it was even half over I had to pull over I was crying so hard. God bless you Cliff, I hope you finally are at peace where the children play.
Share your pain man. We can take some of the load x
Dood, I'm so sorry....even not knowing you.
What a wonderful testimony to your brother...he's resting in peace my friend. He meant for you to hear his music...that's beautiful 😍
Baez

Being Born in 1955 , I Grew up With All The Excellent Music ! Like Cat Stevens...I Was 15 ! I Hung With Some Older Hippie's..That Turned Me on To Different Music !! & Ect..😁😬 "Crosby Stills Nash & Young !! One Of My Fave's.."Mott The Hoople !! Who ? Alot of People Say !! I Was Blessed with Fabulous Music..I Love "Tea for The Tillerman !! 3-2023 💜💜💜🎼🎶🎼🎶✝️🙏😊⚘️🌹💜💜 Sooo Many More...🎼
🎼🎵🎶... all the young dudes...
1955 here too. This was the closest we ever got to Peace, and I look back and think what a fight it was and we gained some ground. But there still wasn't enough of us. We lost it. The music was wonderful. Every way you looked it had such promiss. It's Feb 2024 and it's back to war on the horizon. Why?
@@dewhittjamesthe same two reasons for any War. Money and power
I lost my mother today she used to sing the entire record to me , and I came to listen to it for the first time alone in this world today.
When someone suffers the loss of bereavement, I remind them that their loved one would have wanted them to carry on by living a long happy life without loneliness.
@@UltimateBargains thank you for your words of inspiration.
I hope you find some comfort in your memories as you listen to this music.
@@susiewilson5815 , Hello Susie, I am doing just that won't going through photos. Of us remembering everything I truly thank you for your comment, for it makes me feel that I'm not alone that we all speak on universal language that of music no matter what type it may be May those you love be safe.
🌹 Sorry for your loss bro 😔🌷🌺I understand how hard it is to lose someone 🌹
My dear husband and I fell in love listening to this album. We're still listening 49 years later. Such sweet lyrics.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶💕
@@Keithurban802 If that is really you, Yusuf. I so much agree, this album cut deep into my soul with that soulful voice and innocent demeanor, you are easily the same deep sensitive person and classy musician with the rare courage a serious clothing change can entail😉
Xmas is approaching soon so i am planning to go on tour with all my awesome fans, have you been able to attend my concert.
I should say I envy you both. I'm 73 and could never find real love.
@@arturomulligan5129 you can still fine love, where are you from.
I listened to this album so many times I wore it out. It started to skip everywhere. I think I still can sing all the songs in order. It was such a huge deal to be able to afford an album. We studied the album covers and liner notes for hours and hours. this takes me right back, as music always does. Life and love go so fast. someday someone will read this comment and I will be long dead. And that is the way of it. Carpe diem!
I'm on the same page. Amen.
momento mori
The production on this album killed. Every guitar note clear and precise. Bass that hit. Vocals that cut. Percussion driving. Background arrangements that bring George Martin to mind. Put that together with Cat's voice and phenomenal song writing. God was present in every note.
Just makes me feel very old , where the hell did the time go ? Every song a classic.
That is FOR SURE!
Time is a CONstruct! It snot real.
Me too. Gone in the blink of an eye. Hard to believe.
Just the opposite for me, makes my heart feel young, my mind drifts into yesterday.
Listening to music since 1956 Tea for the Tillerman, for me, ranks up there with the most consistently good LPs throughout, from first song to last, by any artist.
I believe it was spring of 1970 when I first heard this. I was hooked and knew every word of each song.
It was and is a masterpiece.
My Mother used to play this album in our family home, the music filling the house with beauty and spirit and sound. My Momma and Sister and I would be in our feels and vibes and what a special time it truly was
After all those years, this album still sound so incredibly fresh.
I hope the young ones are listening to this.
@@jilllazdane8861 The kids are all right.
It's a wonderful album. Every song. Sounds like the best of. What a dynamically rich singer. Super talented!
I first head this album when my boyfriend and I got together when I was 23. He was much older and I made him date me (basically I just kept showing up). We’d spend days singing and jumping on the bed. So full of hope and joy and a whole life ahead of us. We broke up 15 years later. I went on to have a life in LA and he flew back to Africa. Yesterday I found out he passed. It might be the hardest thing I’ve ever heard from an anonymous number on a phone tree of friends and relatives. No one actually knows how much I loved him. This album is my forever window into his love. I can still hear his voice singing along. ✨
You can tell how special this album is when you read the comments. So much feeling and beauty here in this music. My mum used to play on our old record player. She taught me how to load it and drop the needle and this is one of the albums I'd play when I got home from school in the 90s and early 2000s. We listened together again tonight ❤
Same here but without the turntable
How lucky we were to be born in the 60s🌸☮️
Great album takes me back in time at least 50 years found.my hard headed woman was great TIME is a B..
Just flys bye alone again great 45 years honey 💔🌹RIP love of my life two souls as one for ever ❤
This album brought me first to Cat Stevens back in the early 70'ts, and after 50 years I still believe he is one of the great artists of my life. So powerful and meaningfull songs, so beautyfull melodies; an oustanding rockstar who first took me to guitar playing. I'll never forget you and I love your Tea for Tillerman 2 also. Never die Cat!!
Ditto!
Haven't heard it in awhile...Goosebumps...
The best one 😮
Unfortunately we all have to die when our time comes, but few like you and your music and humanity will remain eternal
🎵 He'll always live thru in his music~🎶
Cat Stevens taught me as a very young child (born in 63) that peace, love and acceptance is the way to live my life. My eyes, mind and heart are open to all. Thank you so much Cat Stevens.
Interesting that a guy that called for another artists death would be your example of peace, love and acceptance. I have not heard or seen him for many years then he pops up on RUclips.
It's hard. He has beautiful melodies that I listened to in my youth. But he still has not apologized for his murderous words. We could forgive but he refuses. Same situation with Rep Boebert when she speaks violence about gay and trans people. People have to be called out.
@@bhansen52 boo hoo
@@bhansen52 wait till sharia law comes..everywhere..
@@bhansen52 didn't know that about Cat Stevens, disappointing, to say the least.
@@bhansen52 Whoes artists death ...did he ,as you claim call for Brent Hansen ?
This was not my generation's music. We still had songs that bore excellent lyrics, but this album is of a time lyrics were unequaled and probably will never be this good again. Cat Stevens was one of these amazing poets with the enviable one-two punch of poet and guitarist.
Oh what a jewel songs...Wild world.Father and son,Into White,Sad Lisa..
Father and Son is such a powerful song. A true masterpiece. It makes my cry when I listen to it. I miss you dad. RIP I’m ok.
I lost my Dad last year. I'm grateful , truly, to have had such a father . He used to play the guitar for me and sing . He would sing hank williams "move it on Over" and cat stevens "Moonshadow " He took me on the back of a motorcycle down harbor BLVD one night haulin ass to Disneyland in time for fireworks . For no reason at all. I also cried my face off when he died , but i can not complain to have had such a Dad
funny i think all us who are older and didnt know our fathers or left to soon before we could find the answers we needed all have a CRY over .. father and son .. im 58 and still do ... just like , longer boats and americian pie , two oldest songs i remember ... RIP Dad .. the words got lost overtime but i loved you ...
Took the words right out of my mouth !! Well said my friend 🙏
If your dad meets mine I hope your dad tells him it didn't work like thought it be but like you I'm OK another 10-12 to go and I'll see him again. Mom I'm coming kiss Laura Sue for me.
"Lord my body has been a good friend, but I won't need it when I reach the end."
This album is so beautiful!!! I still love it today!! "Teaser and The Firecat" is as good as this one!! Great times, great music!! Thank you Cat!!!
Im 33, my dad used to play this album in our 89 subaru with a cassette that had a wire running into a portable cd player. My mom used to sing me The Wind and Moonshadow as lullabies when i was really young. Some of my first memories.
Was in Monterey, ca …brings back all those memories…I thought life would get better but it became more complex…this music brings back the peace I felt and didn’t appreciate as much as I should have back then…thanks for sharing the magic of those times once again…peace to all…..namaste
I went and seen Cat Stevens in Atlanta in the early 70s at the Omni . Teaser and the Firecat . He had a full orchestra and a screen behind him showing the story of the songs . My first concert that I went to in my life . I've always have been able to relate to his songs and music . He'll always be my favorite folk songwriter . Father and son definitely is a song that I'll always remember because we played it at my brother Dan funeral services . Thank you Cat Stevens for bringing your soulful music into our lives . God Bless 👼🌈☮️🙏❤️
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶💕
Meaningful lyrics
OMG -Yusuf Cat Stevens..I don't believe it..Eternally grateful to "ROCKcity Tributes" !!! ..A spiritual geopolitic re-birth of "old" and "new" “Brothers” & “Sisters”..Thank you..!!!!
I’d just gotten back from VN. I needed the Cat more than I knew. Lost all my good times havin good times.
I'm 64 years old and this album brought so much comfort to my older brother and our friends as we were going through such difficult times as young teenagers the lyrics and music transcended time and taught us so much wisdom. so perfect! Thank you Cat Stevens!
Very true. Me too. I´m 64 also. I don't really like Cat Stevens the man, but the music was precious at the time.
Almost identical story my guy and couldn't agree more that Cat helped us all get through those crazy turbulent years!!!
Interesting comment for me. Same age. Same experiences.
Thanks
I remember "borrowing" this 8-track from my Dads' brand-new Chrysler Imperial circa 1974 and never returning it - I loved it so much and it became my introduction to the immensely talented Cat Stevens - I never thanked my Dad before he passed for giving me the gift of this wonderful musician - thanks Dad.....Thanks Cat.....thanks Yusuf
Listening to this with my best friend after school every day for a year and a half. Then we moved on to Hall & Oats.
Im 43,i first heard this tape when i was fifteen and just amazing still,Long the boats are coming to win us👌love it
todays bambam sounds, shall never compare to the time, energy, love that had been put into these stories.... truth always wins, Thank you Cat !!
You are so right. I'm old enough to remember when songs had poetic lyrics and an actual tune you could sing (or with my voice hum). Now it's all drum machines and swearing. Preferring older music isn't nostalgia it's good taste.
More people cared back then, people were people, and it mattered. And kids were our future, not like that to often today
Literally not true at all but okay buddy keep lying to yourself.
Oh cat all those years ago.how i wish those days last longer.thank you so much.
my mother absolutely loved Tea for the Tillerman. Back in the late 70’s she bought a volvo station wagon with a tape deck in it and immediately she got the tape , put it in the tape deck and there it stayed and played as soon as the car was turned on. After something like 20 years she got another volvo and the tape was transfered to it. In the late 80the tape finally died so out I went and got her a new tape. She popped that one in and there it stayed until the she could no longer drive in 2008. The volvo also went to the big car graveyard but the tape stayed with us.
I got 100% on an important test in 1972. For that achievement I received 2 tickets for the Cat Stevens concert at the Shrine Auditorium. It was an amazing prize to me. I would have never gone to the Shrine Auditorium and, I may not have ever seen Cat Stevens. I was so very lucky!!!
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶💕
@@Keithurban802 You keep making music and I'll always keep listening! Thank you for responding to my little comment!! BIG FAN!!!
Yusuf: I believe that God gives each of us a gift. Your's is the gift of music 🎶! It's especially important at this time when our world is in such a precarious situation. We need your gift more than ever! It lifts our spirits, feeds our souls and inspired our minds and hearts. Sincerely, you touch millions with your talent/gift. I have danced and laughed and cried to much of your music. Please don't ever stop. It would be heartbreaking. Thank you!!! 😊🤗

@@christineelliott44 wow thanks for been a great fan's of my music, how long have you been a fan's of my music🎤
I haven't heard this in 30 years. Man I forgot about this album. I loved it then and now.
Had the album back in the 70's. After listening to it several times again here after decades, I finally ordered a cd copy. Fantastic piece of work, whole album.
I just put is on when my mom is doing nothing at home and she just starts singing along. I guess it just takes her back to her younger days. I enjoy listening to her and makes me happy.
how many memories, i grew up with this sound in my ears as my dad played this record all day long ....how i miss those days..RIP dad...
my dad got me into Cat back in early 70's
I feel your loss Daniele
Something about Sad Lisa gets me everytime...since 1970, 7th grade...haunting, mournful song....reminds me of cold winter days in winter, 1971.
Reminds me of other, hauting mournful moments. The beauty is that the music restores joy.
Said you are dreamer
Thank you kindly making the chat sad good lord is wrong with you people
@@generalsavage4103 Well, the song is "Sad Lisa"...lol
@@brainscott8198 it still makes me cry
my father made us listen to this album, it reminds me of my childhood. All tracks are absolutely amazing
wise man😉
Made. You listen ? Bad dad Good dad?
@@larryh.4629 You are right. You can't make deaf men listen...

God bless Yusuf Cat Stevens and all his wonderfull work of Love and Piece !!!
WE LOVE YUSUF CAT STEVENS !!!
❤❤❤🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿❤❤❤
I’ve listened to his music for all my adult life; I’m 73. But strangely it’s only been within the last few years that I’ve recognized the range and beauty of his voice!
This, and Teaser and the Firecat are the albums that define my youth (along with the entire Harry Nilsson collection, Carole King Tapestry and James Taylor Mud Slime Slim.)
They really don't make music like that anymore. Not cliché, fact.
A youth very boring, i think...
@@alessandromarchesini9039 haha. At least the music of my youth was not determined by corporate comittee, sales algorythms and most marketable BPMs.
All you guys get is the same toe-tapping disco-songs over and over and over again, sung by artists so autotuned that you've never heard their actual voices. But if you find that less boring, you do you.
@@alessandromarchesini9039 Wasn't boring at all.
@@alessandromarchesini9039 Not so much as you think. I like MUSIC. period. I love this.... as well as Cream, Yardbirds, Stones, Seger, Joni Mitchell, Humble Pie, etc...
Tommy still lives at my House
My whole life I can listen to this lp, then listen to the Who Live at Leeds. Good music is good music. Tears and failing ears be celebrated, and damned. Nobody gets out of here alive.
Probably one of the most truthful albums ever crafted
1980, I was reading water meters for the town of Mineral Wells, Texas with by buddy Tom Hindle. After work with limited funds, we would kill a couple of beers listening to this album on his turntable & he gradually learned to play the guitar from Cats Stevens. Back then I lived in a ratty trailer in a trailer park next a small lake, driving a broken-down VW Bug, good memories of good times.
If you can say they were good times and you can retain and skillfully relate such memories, as you have, you can truthfully boast that you were "really living", "living it up".
I think I wore this vinyl LP out playing it so many times while going to college in the early 70's. Thanks for the memories
this is the perfect album to play along electric lead guitar...especially the climax of father and son...
wow...tears of joy happiness and gratitude
I haven't heard this album in years, I mean decades. When I lived at home in California it was played often on the turntable. It really brings me home. I was only 10 years old when this came out, and it still sounds great today as it did back then. Thank you for playing this 💕
I was 19 in SoCal. Very influential on my sense of empathy, relationships with dad, love.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶💕
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶💕
How cool is that
I had forgotten how unbelievably great this album is. I had a skip on my vinyl in the song "Longer Boats". Yep, you guessed it... I was cleaning and singing (a normal pairing in this house) and I sang it as though the skip were there. I did laugh out loud for real, for real. Nice little goober move that allowed me to amuse my own self for a moment.
Heard this on 8 track.......been a big fan of Cat ever since.....now have All his cds.....im 64 now.
First hear this in Manchester in 1975 - hated it and it still stirs bad memories
Good music is good music… from the heart…where people wander after this period, isn’t for us to judge. Peace to all. Peace Cat!
A chain of wonderful precious awesome masterpeces. Belongs to the handfull best albums ever made.Fireworks of geniality.
A perfect album. Timeless.
It is perfect, I agree.
This was released when I was seventeen years old and I was at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. A year later I was training for war. Now seems so so long ago then sometimes when I close my eyes it's just yesterday. Strange how music effects us all. This guy CSNY, Joni Mitchell, Bob dylan, the beatles, the stones and the list goes on inspired me to become a singer-songwriter and a harmonica player and I still perform to this day God willing I'll be 69 next month most people don't take me to be 55. God bless all of you...
✌️
Music
Music is a life giving Force we cannot live without
This album became a part of me for ever. Magical
Thoses we're the best days of my life. Listening to him
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶💕
Another Great Songwriter in our lifetime....these songs will go on, and on through Time......!!!!🙂
Lovely vibe Cat has, beautiful, meaningful, openminded, loved him since childhood, stories and lessons full of emotion, these compositions are legendary and timeless, love you Cat.
One of my favourite albums from 1970
An absolute classic this one.

Dad I miss you so much 😢😢😢😢
What's a house close to the heart without all types of tunes
Returning to this after many years. My god, this is one of the finest albums ever created.
a gift for my life, a life in itself
So much gentleness in this LP. Friends of ours sang their boys to sleep with this music, in line with what someone else wrote. A lot separates humans from each other, cultures from each other. But let's remember the music and the gentleness.
Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou; 21 July 1948), commonly known by his stage names Cat Stevens, also did the album cover artwork on many of his releases !!
the artist is an artist
I never knew that, thanks for the info. Of course as I look at the Tea for the Tillerman cover it's obvious - simplicity.
Bought this album when it first came out.
I still have it.
I bought every album Cat Stevens put out.
Thank you for the wonderful music, Cat Stevens!
Same… 😢
LETS ALL PRAY FOR A HAPPY DAY AMEN
I discovered Cat while living in Italy in the early 90s. A pretty vulnerable and emotionally charged period of my life. This music is medicine to me; so passionate. Btw fans of Cat need to watch Harold & Maude.
🫂💖
Better late than never...
True and all fans of Usuf knows the movie well ❤️🩹
My all time fave movie! ♥
That movie is a cult classic. You have great taste.
It needs to be considered among Stevens' greatest albums.
The best...listened when it arrived...still enjoy his music, though not his ideology....I am 69, residing in a highly regressive region of northern California
@@garycallihan4206 Yes, could have done without his endorsement of the fatwa against Rushdie.
@@ronchapman6525 please leave a link or something to what you are referred to please. I'm unfamiliar with his works outside of music and massive charity efforts. I truly am curious. Sometimes meeting your heroes can be such a let down but shouldn't let it change how their music makes you feel. I.e. My favorite songwriter vocalist of all time...Roger waters. Love his music...for me life changing. But can't stand his pro Palestinian anti Israel stance. Agree with some of his views and adamantly hate others. But won't ever stop listening to pink floyd
Actually in pop culture probably (I will write) the greatest question and answer albums ever produced. Does anybody ever realize how difficult it is to make lyrics and music embraced together and see life for it's beauty sake. Cat knew!
@@ronchapman6525
We all say and do stupid things when we are young and stupid.
He has explained that moment and voiced his regrets.
My ideologies have changed through out my 80 years, and it takes a lot of life's experiences to realize that nothing is purely black and white.
And as if that wasn't enough, it's also the soundtrack to Harold and Maude, yet another "70s classic...
Thank you for sharing this gift.
Great álbum Cat Stevens forever ❤😊
i bought this album when it 1st came out (1970) , i was in the army at the time - we would get high and listen to it every night
First album I ever bought in 1974,no regrets.
I first heard it on 8-Track!
@@kramalerav guau wonderful
Just started playing the lp again bought mine in 76
All time favorite concert in fall 1975 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana . ❤️🤩
I can't read/hear "no regrets" without thinking "No Regerts." Sadly, I think this is due to a Snickers commercial....
2023 I am still looking and she found me..
To Hanna, because you listen so well! 1978 ! Thank you for being her friend!
I bought the tape of this when I was 16, in 1999, after hearing this song in a skateboard video. Then I was allowed access to my Dad's stash of records, and he had a few others of Cat Stevens. Really great stuff.
My favorites are: On the Road to Find Out, The Wind, Where do the Children Play, and when I can bring myself to listen to it Father and Son. When my dad passed we played the last one at his funeral.
Great music is when you buy the album after hearing one song
wanna hear something crazy? cat stevens didn’t make cats in the cradle, nor did he ever cover it
@@flamingzucchini7843 yeah I just found that out a few weeks ago, i always thought that as back in the Napster days it was always labelled as a Cat Stevens song.
I was 9 when this album cam out now 61 just found cat stevens again long lost friend
Took a while to find me a hard headed woman, but Anna you have been more than worth the long search xx
Didn't realize when I was 15 and singing this song that I was actually praying to the universe and I too have a hard head woman of my life 25 years my first was a fancy dancer ain't that something I left when I heard the song again
Funny the timelessness of this album. I graduated H S in 1971 and college in 1976. Somewhere in there I was listening to Tea reflecting on life and me. it was Christmas time and I was home sitting in front of the Christmas tree. I must have thought long and hard because Tea became a Christmas album to me. I don't drink except for the two or three vodka 7's that are part of the memory.
I bought this for my son-in-law…he loves the album and he is honestly the greatest human ive ever met.
Been a lot of decades since I first heard this Lp.
Finally gave my life to Christ after a long hard 31 year fight with myself and there in the church hymnal was "Morning Has Broken" and I knew then that He had been leading all along. There are no coincidences, only providence
One of his greatest...Lost my brother 4 years ago.This was our favorite album...miss him so much.Sometimes I can't get through this album without the tears still falling.
Lost my brother 21 years ago. This was an album we both dearly loved. Knew every word to every song. His favorite was ' Road to Nowhere '. I had it played at his funeral along with SRVs 'Living Life by the Drop'. I couldn't listen to this album for 9 or 10 years after we buried him. I can now. RIP Phil. Love you Brother.

@@stevencorsoe9575 Death can leave a BIG hole in your life. As you may already know, keep on. Although the hole remains forever, it does shrink. And that’s one BIG blessing of surviving a loss like yours..
@Orson2u Thank you for the kind words...coming up on his birthday and mine...a day apart but I always make sure to celebrate that special day as if we were both together...God bless you for the words.
I first heard this album in its entirety as a teen in the 70's...I got to babysit for some of the greatest people then...I miss them and wish I knew where they were now...miss you Mark and Ellyn...it's just as beautiful today as it was back then...
