Song(s): Another Saturday Night, If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out & Sitting

Artist: Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens Appreciation Post! 😸😍😁

His vibe is just very cool and gives puts me in a "fall state of mind." 🤷 Don't ask me why. I just love him! He's my fall version of Jack Johnson 😂

Another Saturday Night

Wow....this is way too accurate for me...😬😩 Especially since my "plans" for tonight are to go eat some ice-cream and watch a TV show....by myself....with the dog and cats I'm currently pet-sitting. Yeah. That's my life. But at least the song is upbeat and entertaining! 😂

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I've got some money 'cause I just got paid

Now how I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago

I've seen a lotta girls since then

If I could meet 'em I can get em, but as yet I haven't met 'em

Thats how I'm in the state I'm in

Oh, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I've got some money 'cause I just got paid

Now how I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way, mhm

Another fella told me

He had a sister who looked just fine

Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance

To a cat named Frankenstein

Ooh Lord, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I've got some money 'cause I just got paid

Now how I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way

Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

It's hard on a fella

When he don't know his way around

If I don't find me a honey to help me spend my money

I'm gonna have to blow this town

Oh no, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I've got some money 'cause I just got paid

Now how I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way

Ah, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I've got some money 'cause I just got paid

Now how I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way

Ooh, I'm in an awful way (He's in an awful way)

I'm in an awful, ooh, I'm in an awful way

(He's in an awful way)

If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out 

I love the vibe and message of this song...it's very freeing.

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out

And if you want to be free, be free

'Cause there's a million things to be

You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high

And if you want to live low, live low

'Cause there's a million ways to go

You know that there are

You can do what you want, the opportunity's on

And if you find a new way, you can do it today

You can make it all true and you can make it undo

You see, it's easy, you only need to know

Well, if you want to say yes, say yes

And if you want to say no, say no

'Cause there's a million ways to go

You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me

And if you want to be you, be you

'Cause there's a million things to do

You know that there are

You can do what you want, the opportunity's on

And if you find a new way, you can do it today

You can make it all true and you can make it undo

You see, it's easy, you only need to know

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out

And if you want to be free, be free

'Cause there's a million things to be

You know that there are

You know that there are

You know that there are

You know that there are

You know that there are

You know that there are

Sitting

I just like this one. It's about finding your own path and figuring out life on your terms; the decisions YOU make, what YOU believe. I see myself listening to this while out on a walk contemplating life...in fact that's the first time I heard this song, while out on a walk. 😊 Also, shout out to the passion!

Oh, I'm on my way, I know I am

Somewhere not so far from here

All I know is all I feel right now

I feel the power growing in my hair

Sitting on my own not by myself

Everybody's here with me

I don't need to touch your face to know

And I don't need to use my eyes to see

I keep on wondering if I sleep too long

Will I always wake up the same, or so?

And keep on wondering if I sleep too long

Will I even wake up again or something

Oh, I'm on my way, I know I am

But times there were when I thought not

Bleeding half my soul in bad company

I thank the moon I had the strength to stop

I'm not making love to anyone's wishes

Only for that light I see

'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave

That's gonna be the only thing that's left of me

And if I make it to the waterside

Will I even find me a boat, or so?

And if I make it to the waterside

I'll be sure to write you note or something

Oh, I'm on my way, I know I am

Somewhere not so far from here

All I know is all I feel right now

I feel the power growing in my hair

Oh life is like a maze of doors and they all

Open from the side you're on

Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may

You're going to wind up where you started from

You're going to wind up where you started from
