Major goosebumps every time I hear this song!
Fantastic. So prescient. A stone-cold classic.
Beautiful voice, he's so talented !!!
My God,a masterpiece.Did not grasp this till now,I'm 66
Year of the Cat is my all time favorite album. On the Border is the first Al Stewart song I ever heard. I instantly loved it. I’m 64.
Me too & the same age ❤
This 64 year old loves this song.
Just about to turn 64 in about 3 weeks, and didn’t realize till just now how cool this song actually is- Time Passages and Year of the Cat were always my go to’s- but have always loved Spanish guitar- love this one the rare times it would come on the radio! 🥰🎼
Είμαι 65,όμως το είχα ακούσει γύρω στα 25.Καταπληκτικο
one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and i am grateful !!!
August 17, 2020, from 1973..
August 18th 2020, of course I am. Take care out there......
21th August 2020 and we still listen excellent music. Take care brothers and sisters!

The guitar work on this is simply magnificent
Al didn't know Peter White played guitar before this song!
@@ConservativeAnthem Yes, a young Peter White playing so well!
@@Stalled-wm3qd The bass player also did a great job.

A masterpiece from one of the most talented singers and highly underrated!!!! 💪👍
Underrated 4 sure

Great guitar playing by Peter White.
I hv never been to Spain, sure do like the music
i am 45 years old and i always loves Al steward and all these good mysic of that time. Hello From France.
The quality of his voice, the music remains through time! Thank you for sharing with the audience this treasure.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
I was fortunate enough to see Al Stewart live in London at the end of 1978. Was already a fan but didn’t realize what a spectacular guitarist he is. Played a guitar piece with a fellow musician that just blew me away. Never heard it since, but watching and listening live was something i will never forget.
Oh my God. You truly were extremely fortunate to see him and the band at a live concert.
My pitiful little self was in America just loving All of his Music and sharing with my friends. ❤
Saw him with Dave Matthew’sas warm up in Preston in mid eighties. Only about 50 in the audience, so he beckoned us round and played requests and answered questions in between. He had six Ovation guitars in a semicircle around him and boy did he work them hard. After Dave’s 3/4 hour, he came on for 1.5 hrs then Dave joined him for some folk classics. After a knowledgeable question about the songs gestation he even played some of Year of the Cat with alternative Tony Hancock lyrics. It was a once in a lifetime concert
AL STEWART ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS ALL TIME
Yep...today,s music is thrash....very sad!
Today's music ist bullshit
One of the most beautiful songs of the 70s!
Year of the Cat was definitely his best album.
I have shivers🤭
Indeed. a treasure.
Along with Time Passages
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Epic Anthem. Peter White's Guitar Make this song Fantastic!
Absolutely💞
One of the best Songs ever…….❤️
OH YEAHHH, THAT'S TRUE...I LOVE THIS VERY GREAT SONG FROM THE GREAT SINGER AL STEWART * ON THE BORDER *...
@@Ariovistus1 Al didn't know Peter White played guitar before the song!
Fell in love with al stewart with the year of the cat, 1963 the year I was born. Bday present, the album. Finally I am going to see him March 29 2024! Yay
This is proper music, simple.
They new how to do music in the seventies! Fundamentally awesome.
When I first heard the song in the 70s, it took me a few seconds to love it. 40 years back, I knew I will continue to listen to it until until.
It's quite a tale...
magic Masterpiece, i came to understand the Lyrics now, in my Sixties, thank You Al Stewart and Band for your wisdom, that lasts longer than our lives, thank You guys🎉❤🎉
The intro is one of the best ever. Great atmosphere.
I can not describe , how can a song be so beautiful and wonderful , with great memories , from the past. His voice, his tenderness , and lyrics are so special and unique . Love him a lot ! such a soft song.
@@1dudeleek Listen to Bohinta, 'Hand In Hand', or Nancy Sinatra, 'Burnin' Down The Spark'.
Reminds me of the best times of my life!
The 80’s rule!!

Beautiful song especially the guitar
My older brother would play Al Stewart a lot at home in the 70's so I knew a few albums but rediscovering it now not only is it great music , it's better than I remembered. Great songwriter.
Al Stewart is an amazing musician and singer.
I HAD the privilege of seeing Al Stewart in the 80s and i have to say was one of my favorite concerts to date.. he is a timeless song writer and his voice is heavenly sent
Yes, a timeless writer who writes for all of us. Had to reply because I also had the chance to see him in the Nineties and he came up to me and said, "I saw them when I was a lad" as he pointed at my "Hawkwind" t-shirt.. that was cool and unforgettable. One of our great artists waiting to be discovered is what is amazing.
Born in 1961. I had the best of most worlds. Brought up by my parents on Beatles, Kinks, Dionne Warwick, later beach boys and a load of other great 60's music. Then heavy metal in my early teens. And followed by punk at 16 then New wave and indie music by 20. Awesome stuff and hundreds of gigs watched. My music tastes are very broad as a result. Al Stewart was great. Year of the Cat always a go to song.
Year of the Cat is absolutely amazing Il never tire listening to that song I love Al Stewart His lyrics always tell a story terrific stuff 😊😊❤❤
Born also in 1960 and have heart this song on the radio, timeless and very good and light to sing, bringing memmory's back to me and thinking at the time that I was young and listen to the pirat stations and playing All Stewart, thank you for the upload...greetings
His voice sounds if a wave arrives at the border 😊
Al Stewart is great because he is a singer / songwriter. The lyrics and the music tell a story that affects us all. I love his music and his story telling. Thank you Al Stewart for pursuing music and genius that helps us all.
Loving it like life
Lovin the Spanish guitar amazin. Al always tells a story. Truly terrific voice. He’s a dream 😊😊❤️
Reminds me of Chris de Burgh.
He is like Chris de Burch slightly eh x
U know I meant Burgh 😅
@@janicefraser2767 im not going to pretend im a fan of Al stewart, but i remember this song as a young kid and it still sounds terrific at the end of 2022. Happy new year 😀👍
@@colingeddes2172 amazing stuff love Al Stewart. Year of the Cat is my favourite. Happy New year to u too 😊😊
This is the first time I've sat down to watch and listen to the words of this song. I was on a trip to Barcelona Spain and I remember the Barceloneta that the Fisherman helped form. Excellent seafood restaurants and service. Everyone treats people with respect and I thought of Barcelona Spain when I listened to this song.
I haven't heard this song since I was a kid.
I'll be 32 soon and i hear it for the very first time 😅
Beautiful guitar work
Fabulous Spanish beat, love it.
Great song
Big, big talent
Such a fantastical journey back to yesteryear. I have said it before and will again.... a true legend. Not very many are able to find the balance between the song, its lyrics and a story that grasp you. However they do this, time and time again....well done! Your melodies shall span legendary status amongst a multitude of generations.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
Great to hear this brilliant song again.
💖
My absolutely favorite Al Stewart song.
Timeless song for sure! His amazing guitarist Peter White is still an amazing jazz artist these days!
Peter was hired for keyboards and Al didn't know he played another instrument.
I haven't heard this in years! I need to get back into my music collection! Love Al Stewart!
Same
Dal modo di cantare e da come si muove mi ric orda un po George harrison....entrambi straordinari 💟
One of the best songs ever heard!!!!!!!!!Unbelieveable!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for eternity, Al...........!!!!
Ich liebe diesen Song!!!
Was für ein Genie! ❤
Hammer Song 😍
So lucky to have been a teenager in the late 70's. I pity the kids today with their rap music. Although rap is powerful (when they are older), their songs will not make long for the beauty, innocence and tenderness of youthful love.
Indeed today,s music is sooo ugly and bad.....buh!
Fantastico come sempre. Grande All Stewart!
Verry nice Song ich mag seine Lieder
This is one of the 5 Al Stewart songs that received North American radio airplay at that time
Which other ones besides Time Passages and Year of the Cat?
I long for those days again beautiful music.Al Stewart had so many great songs sorry did not get to ever see him in person love his voice
The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border
On my wall the colours of the maps are running
From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming
The torches flare up in the night
The hand that sets the farms alight
Has spread the word to those who're waiting on the border
In the village where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
Still you never see the change from day to day
And no-one notices the customs slip away
Late last night the rain was knocking at my window
I moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow
I thought I saw down in the street
The spirit of the century
Telling us that we're all standing on the border
In the islands where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
It's just the patterns that remain
An empty shell
But there's a strangeness in the air you feel too well
The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border
On the border
On the border
On the border
Thank You ❣️
I think the song is really great. Music, text, melodies etc. Simply beautiful👍👍
It,s honey f. Y re soul to listen!

Every thing he sings just melts me,not sure why
His voice is a dream to listen to. I could listen to this man all night long truly amazing ❤❤😊😊
You can’t resist the purity and eloquence. It’s like having an English professor who can sing . Al is a gift to us all.
Que temazo más bueno.

So hard to pick a favourite song. Year of the Cat? Broadway Hotel? This? Just class. All.
Al Stewart wrote and sang 3 of the greatest songs of this period.
Hauntingly mysterious melody. Love it.
Absolutely! 😊
Summer of 1977
I remember it well...Saw Zeppelin that year.
Happy days of 70-80's.
mythical music very personal
Al Stewart awesome
Awesome music , i'm 62years old & still enjoying Classic Rock , San Antonio Texas
Excellent song.
This song has great memories for me. We are there. Such powerful lyrics and beautiful sound
Memorable and evocative.
Beautiful ❤
Nothing like a young Peter White and AS. Great song!
Great song. Better simpler times
Absolutely. A great simple tune in good simple times of the mid 70s. Oh to be a young kid again.
Such a sweet beautiful ballad.
Heard this on the radio when I was driving with my dad, best radio station ever
Magnifiques 70's. Méme si je suis vieux aujourd'hui, je suis heureux d'avoir eu 15 ans en 1976.
Together with The Year Of The Cat best songs ever !!

Love Peter White playing the guitar!!
This is blessing and gift from God more than beautiful
A song with meaningful lyrics and tremendous classic music.
I found this song adventitious an I feel a very emotional rememberence. This Song accompanies me since this Album has been released. In this time, I was very young and mind blowing in love.
When I hear this album, I feel the warmth and tenderness like this time. Thank You for that.
Que gran tema y que buenos recuerdos de aquellos años de adolescencia en la que estaba jugando mi futuro como persona
I thought I saw down in the street the spirit of the century telling us that we're all standing on the border
Probably his best song imo.he has many good songs and love alot of his songs.thanks al for making great music.
You got that right.the 80s were a simpler time.
