“ Year of the Cat is a song by British singer-songwriter Al Stewart, released as a single in July 1976. The song is the title track of his 1976 album Year of the Cat, and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, in January 1976 by engineer Alan Parsons. • The track is noted for its lengthy instrumental sections—over four minutes of the 6:40 album version is instrumental, including a long, melodic series of solos that encompass cello, violin, piano, acoustic guitar, distorted electric guitar, synthesizer and saxophone. • Co-written by Peter Wood, Year of the Cat is a narrative song written in the second person whose protagonist, a tourist, is visiting an exotic market when a mysterious silk-clad woman appears and takes him away for a gauzy romantic adventure. On waking the next day beside her, the tourist realises, with equanimity, that his tour bus has left without him and he has lost his ticket. • The Cat is one of the twelve signs of the Vietnamese zodiac. It corresponds to that of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. At the time of the song's release, the most recent Year of the Rabbit had been 11 February 1975 to 30 January 1976; thus, the song was recorded in the Vietnamese Year of the Cat.” — Wikipedia • • ♪ lyrics ♪ • 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 • Year of the cat • ______________________________________ • Feel free to like, comment or subscribe to our channel for new uploads! • • The Tiny Majority's main focus is the promotion of underground artists of many different genres like indie rock, bedroom pop, lofi, hip-hop and more.
