I watched the Eurovision song contest (true confessions). And something bugged me about the winning song. It sounded kind of familiar.
Now in a flash of light I know why. At the beginning (according to Eurovision's own web site) he sings:-
Even when the thunder and storm begins
I’ll be standing strong like a tree in the wind
Nothing's gonna move this mountain
Or change my direction
I’m falling off that sky and I’m all alone
The courage that’s inside gonna break my fall
Nothing’s gonna deem (????) my light within
So, let's ignore the lyrics (please) and listen to the music of Cat Stevens:-
Now that I've lost everything to you,
you say you want to start something new,
and it's breaking my heart you're leaving.
Baby I'm grieving.
But if you wanna leave take good care,
hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,
but then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world.
Is it just me?
