Hey, guys, don't ignore the lyrics. He wrote some of the most vivid, picturesque lyrics in rock..."You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime"..."She comes out of the sun in a silk dress, running like a watercolor in the rain..." Really amazing and poetic stuff.
The line about Peter Lorre is a reference to Fritz Lang's film "M," 1931. Very strong subject matter for 1931. There is a famous scene in "M," in which Lorre is escaping on a crowded street.
On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolor in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year of the cat She doesn't give you time for questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat While she looks at you so cooly And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea She comes in incense and patchouli So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The year of the cat Well morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket So you have to stay on But the drum-beat strains of the night remain In the rhythm of the newborn day You know sometime you're bound to leave her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat
True story: I discovered by accident that this song has quasi-magical powers. When my son was just a few months old, I found that he could be crying hysterically, but if I put this song on, he would be completely entranced before we got 10 seconds in. It was incredible. It never failed. Any time he was crying, I’d put the song on and he would instantly get a beatific look on his face. I did it in front of friends and they’d laugh in disbelief. This lasted until he was almost four. He’s seven now and taking piano lessons. He still likes the song, but it no longer has quite the same effect.
@@laurabrevitz3944 It's a good one for sure...! He has one of the most haunting lines in "Roads To Moscow" about the war, ww2... "The old men and children they send out to face us, can't slow us down...." Think about that for a minute, and imagine having to live with it....
Absolutely ... One of the greatest lines ever written. Mona Lisa Talking is another absolutely brilliant masterpiece. "Out of a patch of oil and water ... "
Maybe you haven't noticed because the instrumentation stands out so beautiful, but in time you realize just how important the lyrics are to the song. Absolutely brilliant writing.
@@Noelle0026 I don't know how many times/years I was lost in the instrumentation before I listened to the lyrics. BOOM! The song was on an entirely different level.
A perfectly constructed song. Lyrics, vocals, instrumentation, mixing, production. I have loved pop/rock/folk music my entire life, and I firmly believe this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Perfection.
Producer Alan Parsons (engineer of Dark Side of the Moon) elevated this basic construct of a folk song to a more jazz inflected pop song. His decision to include the sax changed the whole tenor of the song. A masterful production.
For me personally, this song is Steely Dan level. Meaning every aspect of the song is perfect. Could listen to this all day long on repeat. Go back and check out the lyrics. Brilliant. 🔥👍
Phil Kenzie on alto sax, Tim Renwick on electric and acoustic guitars, Peter Wood on piano, George Ford on bass, Stuart Elliott on drums. Just classic, a masterpiece.
As an old soul (born in 90 but listen to 60s-90s) I showed this to my girl on one of our first dates in 2017. Still together here in 2023 and this song MUST be played at least once a week. We both love it and have adopted it into the soundtrack of our relationship.
The production of this song and Al's first album was done by the immortal Alan Parsons, who has an amazing catalogue of his own and also produced for Pink Floyd. Check out the Alan Parsons Project's "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" , "Time" or "Games People Play". Year of the Cat is one of my all time favorites. Al Stewart is an amazing storyteller, which you will discover if you go deeper into his music. Check out "Time Passages" next. Thanks for the great reviews!
For a fun time, they should check out the entire first side of Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Several diverse songs based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe
I noticed that the instrumental went along with the lyrics in that the last line he says before the instrumental begins is, "so you take her to find what's waiting inside. The year of the cat." Ok, they about to get busy...but he's speaking in the second person. The audience (us) are experiencing, this act through the ear (the ear candy). So first we get the strings, slow mellow Getting to know you, we dealing with something special...the foreplay. Next is the acoustic guitar. The foreplay intensifies to penetrate, your ears Then we get the electric guitar that speeds up the thrust of the beat. And then we have the sax, finally the climax. It brings the whole musical act to a head and then relaxes you...but you want more. It's "The Year of the Cat."
"She comes out of the sun In a silk dress Running Like a water colour in the rain" Still remains as my favourite descriptively poetic lines in any song I've ever heard.
Aah Al Stewart .a forgotten gem of a song..what a songwriter. orchestration,production and general vibe is very unique .still sounds relevant today ..like a time capsule .
This is my absolute favourite song as it came along with some massive changes in my young life. It is tied to the birth of my first son & I never get tired of it even after 47 years. He is a good story teller and I miss good music like this. We can’t forget that Alan Parson produced it and David Pack, lead singer of Ambrosia, sings back up vocals on this as well. All three artists are amazing.
A huge hit and one of the best produced tunes and albums of the 1970’s. So many great tunes and albums by Al back in the day. Here are some of my favorite and legendary tunes; Roads To Moscow, On The Border , Tine Passages, and End of The Day! You guys will love it all! Alan Parsons produced this whole album.
Es la pura verdad, LAS DIEZ ROLAS MAS HERMOSAS DE LA HISTORIA: -La casa del sol naciente -Con su blanca palidez -El no es malo es mi hermano -All by my self -Sacrifice -Angie -Shake Shake your booty -El año del gato -If you leave me now -Baby come back Bonus: Me and mrs Jones Hey Jude Pero los rankings ponen cualquier basura en los primeros lugares sobre todo el Rolling Stones Magazine
Another song produced by the brilliant Alan Parsons...Stewart didn't think it needed the sax..Not so fast.. Parsons pulled the sax player Phil Kenzie out of a pub during halftime of a soccer match to record it
For all the young aspiring songwriters out there watching this reaction video , pay close attention to this song. It is a master class in arranging a song. This is one of the most well crafted songs ever recorded. The build up with the strings , acoustic guitar solo , electric guitar solo and then the cresendo of the sax solo is perfect. All the notes played at the right time wirhout anyone stepping on anyone else. Add the poetic , vivid lyrics and it becomes pop music perfection.
Alan Parsons was the sound engineer on this song like he was on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and it shows. The engineering of the song was masterful.
Al Stewart a son of Scotland and writer of truly great songs. As others have rightly said below you need to embrace these lyrics not just the music. The Road to Moscow is a classIc.
It's a real masterpiece, written and performed by Al Stewart (and his band) and produced by the equally talented Alan Parker. An absolute clasic from way back in the '70's, well ahead of its time. 🙋♂
Some favorite songs: Sand in Your Shoes, Roads to Moscow and Nostradamus. The last two are long stories that I heard for the first time when FM radio started in my city. Epic. Stewart is one of the greatest wordsmiths in his time.
It's cool to hear you guys reacting to this song. It's one of those songs that will always have a place in your heart and soul. No matter how much time passes it never leaves you
Love Al Stewart - the best lyric writer of all time. He has written so many classics - love "Roads to Moscow" but so many others by him are amazing too.
I saw Al Stewart in the spring of 1975, he was the opening act for Linda Ronstadt. I’d never heard of him before, but he and his band were fantastic! As good as she was, I barely recall anything about Ronstadt’s performance that night, but I vividly remember Stewart’s. He was great!
Al Stewart is one of the best musical story tellers, ranking up there with Jackson Browne and Jimmy Buffett, and a lot of his songs have a historical component. You should checkout 'On the Border' which is about the Spanish Revolution in the 1930's and 40's. On another note, 'Time Passages' is a great song that I think is about remembering the past but not getting lost in it. You would not go wrong exploring all three of these artists.
Outstanding piano, and Al’s soft engaging voice, smooth chorus, bass guitar, and saxophone solo; everything about this song just screams amazing, Another absolutely fantastic choice from Big Soul Airplay Beats. Keep up the hard work guys, you're the best at what you do, making people forget the bad and feel the warmth of the music.
Music is more than just sound; it is the emotional side of a story. Many reactions focus on the music itself, but every song tells a story. No one seems to talk about the story behind the song. This is the song, guys. Listen to the story; it is the song.
Brings back memories of the Spring/Summer I lived at PCB, one block from the beach. I paid $80 a mo for my little kitchenette. Right out of high school. I was in heaven. Good times.
I have just Subscribed and, bitterly, regret not seeing Al on the Folk Circuit in the early 1970's around London. Actually, besides the outstanding musicianship, Al is one of the greatest lyricists I have known and I bought my first records in 1960. He specializes in painting beautiful pictures in your mind and is a War Historian with thought-provoking songs like Roads To Mascow about The Eastern Front in World War 2 and Time Passages. On The Border is a lovely song. He is still performing though he doesn't look like a 1960s hippie anymore. lol
Al and yourselves have produced a unique situation with not ONE WORD of criticism in 358 comments,,thus far. A tribute to this genius and this masterpiece.
Just a word, MASTERPIECE!!!!!
Layer upon layer of Excellence.
Hey, guys, don't ignore the lyrics. He wrote some of the most vivid, picturesque lyrics in rock..."You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime"..."She comes out of the sun in a silk dress, running like a watercolor in the rain..." Really amazing and poetic stuff.
And perhaps the only Peter Lorre call out in music history.
@@jeremygray1331warren zevon got lon chaney Jr. though.
The line about Peter Lorre is a reference to Fritz Lang's film "M," 1931. Very strong subject matter for 1931. There is a famous scene in "M," in which Lorre is escaping on a crowded street.
@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 Casablanca. In a morning from a Bogart movie. Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Peter Lorrie.
@@marcelliott1111 I'd always heard it was Casablanca. Wiki says Al was watching Casablanca when the opening couplet came to him.
This is a perfect song, perfect.
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
While she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the newborn day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
5🌟ALBUM✌️🌎🎸🎶
Time Passages and On The Border are also great!
Yes
A True Perfect Masterpiece.
Time Passages is another jam worth a listen.
otra pieza maestra
The 60's and the 70's had the best music and you guys are taking the time to listen. You too are blessed.
True story:
I discovered by accident that this song has quasi-magical powers. When my son was just a few months old, I found that he could be crying hysterically, but if I put this song on, he would be completely entranced before we got 10 seconds in. It was incredible. It never failed. Any time he was crying, I’d put the song on and he would instantly get a beatific look on his face. I did it in front of friends and they’d laugh in disbelief.
This lasted until he was almost four. He’s seven now and taking piano lessons. He still likes the song, but it no longer has quite the same effect.
I wish I had known this when my twins were young! 😅
lol, you could be describing me in your first paragraph! I just never learned to play the piano! It IS magical!
"She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a water color in the rain"
What an incredible line that is....!
My absolute favorite line.
@@laurabrevitz3944 It's a good one for sure...!
He has one of the most haunting lines in "Roads To Moscow" about the war, ww2...
"The old men and children they send out to face us, can't slow us down...."
Think about that for a minute, and imagine having to live with it....
@@2869may Al was a lyrical Genius imo
@@Isleofskye For sure..!
Absolutely ... One of the greatest lines ever written. Mona Lisa Talking is another absolutely brilliant masterpiece. "Out of a patch of oil and water ... "
"Time Passages" is definitely another Al Stewart song worth a future reaction
This right here is why we, the children of the 70’s are suffering with modern music.
Suffering doesn't even begin to describe it...I'm a musician, I'm almost brought to tears sometimes. It breaks my heart.
Maybe you haven't noticed because the instrumentation stands out so beautiful, but in time you realize just how important the lyrics are to the song. Absolutely brilliant writing.
My favorite line is “she comes out of the sun with her silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain. “ Love the visual of that lyric.
@@Noelle0026 I don't know how many times/years I was lost in the instrumentation before I listened to the lyrics. BOOM! The song was on an entirely different level.
Amen
A perfectly constructed song. Lyrics, vocals, instrumentation, mixing, production. I have loved pop/rock/folk music my entire life, and I firmly believe this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Perfection.
One of the best songs ever written.
Music in a tapestry.
What a timeless and beautiful song this is. Makes me wish every year was the Year of the Cat.
Producer Alan Parsons (engineer of Dark Side of the Moon) elevated this basic construct of a folk song to a more jazz inflected pop song. His decision to include the sax changed the whole tenor of the song. A masterful production.
"Sax"..."tenor"...sounds like a pun to me...
Love APP
Alan Parsons .... That explains a lot ❤ You'll like Gerry Rafferty too
Agreed, Alan Parsons...everything he touches is gold.
Omg this song is a Masterpiece!!!!!! It's so beautifully written,and the instruments are brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This track will stay with you long after you've finished. A damn near perfect pop song. I love those opening lines...
Nah, it IS perfect😉. You have to award a 10 on occasion. This song has it all.
@@hklinker Gotta agree, this is a perfect song.
it is perfect.😽
Another great example of how many different sounds were coming at us back in the day. 1965 to 1979 was truly the greatest era in music.
For me personally, this song is Steely Dan level. Meaning every aspect of the song is perfect. Could listen to this all day long on repeat. Go back and check out the lyrics. Brilliant. 🔥👍
Phil Kenzie on alto sax, Tim Renwick on electric and acoustic guitars, Peter Wood on piano, George Ford on bass, Stuart Elliott on drums. Just classic, a masterpiece.
Rim Renwick - The "other guy" playing guitar on the Pink Floyd Pulse videos. Also the guitar player for the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver.
Tim’s work on Al’s “Modern Times” is ridiculous. The fellas need to react to that track, lord!
Tim also was the guitarist for the Elton John Band during the "Simple Man" era.
Don’t forget David Pack, lead singer of Ambrosia, singing back up vocals.
@@Pait728 - I'm still trying to figure out if he played the acoustic on Ian Matthews version of Morgan The Pirate from back in 1971.
As an old soul (born in 90 but listen to 60s-90s) I showed this to my girl on one of our first dates in 2017. Still together here in 2023 and this song MUST be played at least once a week. We both love it and have adopted it into the soundtrack of our relationship.
What a GREAT song!!!!!
A portrait of pure brilliance and colour. Escapism in pure brilliance of an age gone by. Never to be forgotten.
"The drum-beat strains of the night remain
in the rhythm of the newborn day"
Just wow!
"She comes out of the sun, in a silk dress, running like a Water Colour in the rain"......:)
One of those "easy listening" rock songs that is truly on a grand level. One of my favorites from my childhood.
Al Stewart great writer
Sup guys if you want another AL Stewart piece I can recomend "On The Boarder"
Love EVERYTHING about this song including Al's "light, wispy" vocals, the strings, the piano and more. The song is PERFECTION.
and The Lyrics:)
One of the reasons it sounds so good is because it was produced and engineered by the great Alan Parsons.
YES! Alan Parsons!
Wow, I didn't know that! Thank you!
Roads to Moscow is an amazing history lesson and beautifully written.
One of the best. Love the lyrics, love the arrangement.
One of the most beautiful and timeless songs ever written…

One of the best songs of my childhood. Every time I hear this it immediately takes me back to good times.
"She comes out of the sun
In a silk dress
Running
Like a water colour in the rain"
Still remains as my favourite descriptively poetic lines in any song I've ever heard.
That is one of my favorite song lyrics of all time. I love the visual the lyric describes.
Man that sounded irritatingly too fast, must be my wifi 😊
I Whole-heartedly agree with you! Beautifully written so much so that I can picture it. I love it when lyrics do that 👍
....and mine and I bought records in London in 1960 :)
my favorite song from Al is Roads to Moscow...heard this song when I was 15 and it stimulated a lifelong love of history
Aah Al Stewart .a forgotten gem of a song..what a songwriter. orchestration,production and general vibe is very unique .still sounds relevant today ..like a time capsule .

When Al finished the recording he said....if this isn't a hit then I cant write a hit!! Glad it was a hit!!
Al Stewart is a master storyteller with his music. He paints pictures with his lyrics.
Es la pura verdad, LAS DIEZ ROLAS MAS HERMOSAS DE LA HISTORIA:
-La casa del sol naciente
-Con su blanca palidez
-El no es malo es mi hermano
-All by my self
-Sacrifice
-Angie
-Shake Shake your booty
-El año del gato
-If you leave me now
-Baby come back
Bonus:
Me and mrs Jones
Hey Jude
Pero los rankings ponen cualquier basura en los primeros lugares sobre todo el Rolling Stones Magazine
Al Stewart was quoted after this song was released, “If that’s not a hit record then I can’t make a hit record.” And a hit it was.
My all time favorite song. So smooth. Bass, sax, great guitar solo, piano, amazing vocals, lyrics that no understands! So melancholy.
One of the most perfect tracks ever.
It's another great example of the incredible musicianship and production that characterizd the era.
I have been listening to this since it came out. Caught Al last year 2022. Great song and reaction. Time Passages.
It's one of my favorite songs! Love him.
Another song produced by the brilliant Alan Parsons...Stewart didn't think it needed the sax..Not so fast.. Parsons pulled the sax player Phil Kenzie out of a pub during halftime of a soccer match to record it
Al Stewart is a historical folk rock, which is a genre all its own!
Brilliant, iconic track. Left a huge memory imprint on me from back in those days.
"you know one day you're bound to leave her, but for now you're gonna stay" wow
One of the best songs ever recorded imo.
Ear candy says it all. One of the coolest songs ever.
I *love* this song; the lyrics are so poetic & the arrangement is so smooth! This song and "On the Border" are my favorites by Al Stewart.
Very unique song that paints a beautiful bittersweet picture. So evocative. We loved it.

Al Stewart stared off as a folk musician. This is magic
Absolutely gorgeous song ❤❤❤❤❤❤
IN my opinion, one of the best pieces of music ever written.
It's a real masterpiece, written and performed by Al Stewart (and his band) and produced by the equally talented Alan Parker. An absolute clasic from way back in the '70's, well ahead of its time. 🙋♂
Alan Parsons...
The lyrics are as good as any script ever written for a movie.
Definitely have to recheck the lyrics too. Must hear his song Time Passages. Producer was Alan Parsons.
Another song by them is ON THE BORDER
Some favorite songs: Sand in Your Shoes, Roads to Moscow and Nostradamus. The last two are long stories that I heard for the first time when FM radio started in my city. Epic. Stewart is one of the greatest wordsmiths in his time.
When I hear this music I hear tasteful music. No complaints here. "Time Passages" is another Al Stewart go to song.
Piano, strings, accoustic, electric and sax. Held together by image-filled lyrics.
It's cool to hear you guys reacting to this song. It's one of those songs that will always have a place in your heart and soul. No matter how much time passes it never leaves you

My jam!
I had to like this because of your name if for no other reason 😂😂
Brings back memories of the Spring/Summer I lived at PCB, one block from the beach. I paid $80 a mo for my little kitchenette. Right out of high school. I was in heaven. Good times.
They sure were, my friend..good times!
This is a brilliantly written short story set to music. And the music is beautifully played and exquisitely produced.
Thanks for playing this song. I remember listening to this when I was a student nurse.

"The drumbeat strains of the night remain, in the rhythm of the newborn day"
so many great lyrics here
Produced by Alan Parsons...Yes, that Alan Parsons...
One of the most gorgeous mixes ever. Incredible song.
there is not one thing wrong with this song , a masterpiece
Just drifts me back to those early/mid 70’s days.
When life felt so great and simple. Brilliant music.
Love it. 🎶❤️🎶
This masterpiece is more like a movie in my head than a song.
Thanks again to both of you for Great Music from Al Stewart and your reactions.
Al and yourselves have produced a unique situation with not ONE WORD of criticism in 358 comments,,thus far.
A tribute to this genius and this masterpiece.
Makes me feel like a kid again. 😢
