C3PO, party of two, you are requested to board the Peace Train
How exciting! Cat Stevens Yusuf Islam has returned to the music business! He has released the first single from his album "An Other Cup": a song called "Heaven/Where True Love Goes" which is a very pretty, catchy melodious tune with lyrics that... lyrics... um... the lyrics....
...The moment you walked inside my door
I knew that I need not look no more,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you.
The moment you said "I will"
I knew that this love was real,
And that my faith was seen - oh
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment I looked into your eyes
I knew that they told no lies,
There would be no good byes - Ah
'cause Heaven must've programmed you...
The lyrics kind of make me wish that I didn't understand English. The song itself is great, but I feel like I can't completely appreciate it because the lyrics are so weird and jarring and bizarre. It's a love song with programming in it. Love and computers do not mix. You are not going to woo me with C++. Computers are not romantic. And I am offended by the idea that I was programmed by anyone, higher being or not. I'm not a robot. I am not a robot! I AM NOT A ROBOT!
... am I?
I am so weirded out.

Wow. Cat Stevens. Yusuf. Beautiful. My admiration is so huge for this human being I can forgive his choice of verb.
I was listening to "Fathers and Sons" not too long ago. It made me cry when I was young because I related to the voice of youth. To listen to it 30+ years later was to feel tears from a different perspective.
