Can you explain the meaning behind the line “Wrapped by sorrow’s lonely gown, the poet hides in tears”? Cat Stevens‘ Mona Bone Jakon and Tea for the Tillerman albums will both be reissued as extensive super deluxe edition box sets in December. kbps17 830 kbps00:04:45.385 15 892 kbps00:06:13.773 15 283 kbps00:04:35.775 62 258 bytes 620 631 bytes00:06:18.778Each set also has very generous live CDs full of live performances either on stage at concerts or festivals, or for TV appearances.

Here, his new-found gentle and folk-oriented style was artfully weaved with urgent, morally demanding questions beneath bewitching melodies. This soul-searching masterpiece felt simultaneously like a deliberate reaction to what Cat saw in the world as well as his own struggle for answers, and would continue to resonate through countless generations to come. kbps17 829 kbps00:16:18.110 15 888 kbps00:17:46.498 15 283 kbps00:16:08.500 62 200 bytes 617 973 bytes00:17:51.503
