It's nearly 4AM here, and I'm wide awake on a shit-load of corticosteroid steroids because of lung disease. On my 2nd cup of coffee. By now, AL Stewart is singing "Year of the Cat" and everrything's ok again. Just wait, it'll get better.❤
This is probably my favorite '70's tune. You get two piano solos, two guitar solos, two sax solos, great vocal harmonies, great lyrics, great rhythym guitar, great drumming, the bassist is right on! What more could you ask for...
I just want to say that this is one of the very few songs that never ever sounds old. It still sounds fresh after all these years. Just a timeless classic!
Well, in 2056 I’ll be 90, sure hope the good Lord lets me live that long! And, yes….I’ll still be listening, obsessed with this song, hauntingly beautiful 🥰
I would advise any young person interested in the second world war to listen to "Roads to Moscow" by this artist. Moving lyrics, great music and a history lesson all in one.
Jim Peluso I am 21 and I have listened to "Roads to Moscow" countless times. Great lyrics, great song writing, a great history lesson and a perfect combination of instruments (especially the guitar). A jewel for everyone who enjoys good music and every history fan.
Notice how lush the instrumentation of this song is: first the piano solo, then all the guitars, then the tenor sax and the tinkling keyboard. And yet the vocals are never lost; you can discern every word. Magic...
I heard this song for the first time in the winter of 1977 when I was 14. I absolutely loved it and the reason why was what you mentioned - lush instrumentation. The lyrics were also engaging and painted detailed pictures in my mind. A classic song for the ages.
In the late fall of 1976 I arrived at NAS Oceana, Virginia to start my Navy career. In each bar in Virginia Beach this song was playing. I remember the late bus rides back to base, my first taste of the ocean and seeing my life all ahead of me. So whenever I need to go back I listen to Al's song and I'm immediately back to that time and place agian.
I think what makes the song cool is that they each get a chance to "speak" through a little snippet of soloing, and the guitar players, the sax player, the pianist and the key player each have a different technique, yet it all blends beautifully.
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. Just magnificent and that sax something else. This is the best version I’ve heard.
Met Al Stewart today on a BA flight. A gentleman.. Talked music for a few minutes. Never even knew who he was....I was in the midst of folk and rock coolness
believe or not ..I am from El Salvador,back in time I was in high school,about 17 years old,and I did not the meaning of the lyrics.....But now I been in the USA for the las 25 years,I know the meaning and I LOVE IT!!!!!! This is my favorite song ever!!!!
A true master piece; I love every thing about this song: poetic lyrics, sensational melody , gifted instrumentalists, beautiful Scottish vocalist Al Stewart. I first listened to this song in 1976; and now 2023, on the new year day of the year of the Cat in Vietnamese astrology. Still love listening to this song over and over again
My HS years were 76-80 and we did take music for granted, there were so many great artist and real rock and roll bands that a new album was out every other week.I remember when THE WALL came out from Pink Floyd, no big deal but what a classic. I feel sorry for the crap my kids have today.......thank god for youtube
Al Stewart is one of the most underrated singer/songwriter of our generation. This guy is a musical genius with his beautiful and always classy lyrics. What a beatiful line "She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolour in the rain." Wow!!!! Just gorgeous!!! Unfortunately I've never gone to one of his live shows, but it definitely is one of the things on my bucket list!!!!
Can't wait to see Al perform the 'Year of the Cat' album in its entirety at the Royal Albert Hall on 15 October. My husband, incidentally, worked on this 'Whistle Test' when he was a Studio Cameraman with the BBC at Television Centre in the 70's.
As I'm watching this video, I'm mesmerized by those blessed, busy hands. So many talented musicians pulling together to bring this masterpiece off. It's a rare thing now a days to be able to spend the time to develop a deep plot lyrically and flesh out the musical arrangement of this caliber for modern radio audiences. Many listeners have much shorter attention spans than they used to. I guess it's not much different than what's happened in the film industry. Anyway,. brilliant work on a timeless classic, many thanks and much respect to Al Stewart and Company, I grew up in the Seventies listening to their music and now my kids do too..
In 78-79 I was in graduate school when this song surfaced unto the airwaves. This incredible tune is embedded in my memories of that time as it is the cornerstone of all the good and great things that happened during that time. School good be taxing and monotonous but this song reminds me of all the good feelings I experiences such as an intense love I had and shared. I love this song and feel that Stewart is one of the most underrated artists of our time. This live performance is perfect.
I wish I had been there. His talent is like no other, I'd recognize an Al Stewart song immediately even if I've never heard it before. This is the song of my nostalgia, oh the memories.
Great song! Has a melancolic melody... great musicians A soft keyboard solo followed by a melodic acoustic guitar solo followed by a perfect electric guitar solo and ends with a terrific sax solo simply awesome ,just the great Al stewart made it possible...!
This brings me back to the days when all of us had beautiful, long flowing hair. Bone structure to die for. What an amazing voice! What a cutie! I'd take his arm in mine!
I heard Al perform this at the Royal Albert Hall last night. And, before doing so, he announced that the girlfriend who inspired this song ... was in the audience! Then when the now-extended saxophone solo began towards the end, the saxophonist, who was using a radio mike,was suddenly spotlighted in the middle of the audience, (I think) serenading her! It was a lovely romantic gesture.
Indeed it's a wonderful song especially the saxophone solo. i LOVE 70s and 80s. a friend below said that , they don't produce songs anymore in nowadays and i agree with that.
I was living abroad in Amsterdam when this song came out. Everytime I hear this song a long slow smile comes to my face as I remember the absolute best times of my life. Thank you Al Stewart for the wonderful memories your song conjures up for me.
1st time I've seen this version - a beautiful song that takes me back to Korea when I was stationed at Camp Humphreys 1977-1978 and times there. This song is kind of the background music of memories of being there. Really had to be there in 1977 at that country world that turned back time.
pleasure then.. pleasure now.. enjoyed this when it was new and I young.. still enjoying this.. even when I am now what some say.. old.. it been said.. things get better with age.. this is an example of ageing with grace.. play on Al.. your music keeps me young.. (God Bless)..
Jacqui Crawford Hey Jacqui, Hope you are enjoying being home. Its been hell here the last few days,seems like everything breaks down at once. Maybe when I get caught up, we can get back to having fun,I miss that,and the music....
W. L. Higdon He will....yes enjoying being reunited with family friends and my gorgeous pooch...not liking the cooler climate tho. Sure buddy....we can get back to some fun stuff on hangouts and I'm always posting music...take care and keep calm....
don't kill me anyone. Year of the cat is one of the reasons why England and Scotland should remain united. Beautiful song written by a Scotsman speaking English with a beautiful Scottish accent. Masterpiece ps Englishman living abroad
Born in 1966,and was lucky enough to have had this kind of music as well as all the other great music from the mid 60's thru the 70's on the radio or turn table while growing up.This song filled my head as I road my bicycle around Fairlawn,and West Akron Ohio.
I remember the night this played on BBC!!..I was hooked,not on Al but the romance behind this song.. This has to be one of the tightest bands ever, so in tune with each other...
Back in the day, 1977/78 in High School, this was a song you would hear all the time on the "FM" radio - which was considered state of the art at the time. This song brings back fond memories of the "days gone by", most everyone respected each other and didn't judge one another on what our values were or what we believed in, UNLIKE today's pompous generation.
I loved his accent as he sang. It made him seem illegit yet significant. I felt as if the song had some indellible meaning I couldn't understand, yet as a boy I didn't quite know why I loved this tune so much.
@ Greg - You don't think Bob Dylan is a great lyricist? Tangled Up In Blue creates atmosphere just like this song does. Though tonight I think this song does it a bit better.
Beeguiling Perhaps I misspoke about Bob Dylon. He obviously is talented as he was very successful. I just personally never liked his music. I thought he just talked over the music with no rhythum.
De um passado que me parece tão perto mesmo tão distante. Me vejo criança sem consciência das tramoias do tempo. Corre o rumo sem destino que se escorre entre os dedos. A saudade do passado nutre o medo do futuro. Regenera-me e me leve contra a correnteza.
Ronaldo Nobre isso me soa tão hoje. Eu gostava dessa música e cantava com 7 anos. Harmonia linda. Letra (q eu n sabia n epoca) maravilhosa, instrumentos afiados e paixão. Coisa q poucos tiveram chance de curtir. Somos felizardos por ter visto no auge.
obviously, your sense of direction has completely disappeared. So, what exactly is there waiting in the year of the cat? Not more patchouili I hope. Blech!!!
Vincent Van Gough cut his own ear off? Then eventually took his own life? Because of the voices in his Head? Even at the end he tells him that he always knew he was to Beautiful for this Life Here...? Who the Fuck would ever say something like that? Right ✅️
I miss all of my beautiful cats very much; Angel, Mr. Friskey, Felix, Clarabel, Tigger, Angelico, Pandora, Penelope, Lil Pearls, Putsy, Benny-Marie, TinyAngel, Clarence, etc. . .they are beautiful cat angels resting in Heaven and all the other beautiful cats whom I have been a caretaker and foster parent to.
Antes teniamos una canción y detras una imagen, ahora hay una imagen y muy atras esta la musica. Que pena que la musica ya no tenga valor comercial hoy en día, porque se vende una imagen de alguién guapo/a o simplemente que llame la atención y seguro que no estan dejando que artistas como este, con una cara normal tirando a feo, puedan salir con canciones verdaderamente buenas.
Si pero mira a tu alrededor, un pocentaje altisimo de personas compran, escuchan y ven lo que les ponen en las narices, no se molestan en buscar algo más. Mira bien cuales son los cantantes que más venden, todo tias y tios que estan buenos y enseñan cacho, rara vez cantan en directo y son más noticia por alguna polemica, escandalo o modelito que han llevado en tal gala, que por sus canciones. Eso es una realidad, hace 20 25 30 años te pònes a buscar grupos y encuentras montones de canciones buenas y el cantante no necesitaba toda esa parafernalia porque la canción era buena, ahora eso ha desaparecido.
I am 18 years old I heard this song about 1 or 2 years ago. My dad introduced me to this song. It is my absolute favorite song ever and I just think I was born in the wrong generation based on music. I love this song so much and it had been awhile since I had heard it last. Ive been playing it all day today and yesterday. It will be the last song I play today and the first tomorrow. I wish to one day see this live but I am just happy and grateful to be able to hear such a masterpiece. What else should I listen to if I really love this song. I have not listened to the album yet but I will do so soon.
I heard this song on the radio today. I forgot about its existence somehow and how much I loved this song. Thank god I had parents that raised me with good music
One of the greatest songs in my life. Driving through South Africa in the Kalahari listening to this on a tape recorder . Space all round , sand , dust , bush . Loved it.
I really miss these days. The songs told stories you had to interpret and MAN this song is so instrumental with the piano, Sax, guitar, keyboards, and anything else I may have left out.

Master Musicians, Al is a musical genius, very beautiful piece of music
I just want to say that this is one of the very few songs that never ever sounds old. It still sounds fresh after all these years. Just a timeless classic!
I agree❤! It's a beautiful wonderful song!
Musical perfection, Master Musicians
Who’s listening to this classic in December 2024? Hopefully, we’ll be listening in 2056 when it turns 80 and I’ll be 87.
You're kidding. It will be 80?
I won't say how old I'll be. 😂😢😮😅😊
@@donniewallace3765😂
Well, in 2056 I’ll be 90, sure hope the good Lord lets me live that long! And, yes….I’ll still be listening, obsessed with this song, hauntingly beautiful 🥰
I was 70. I was listening frequently. I have the récord 40- o more Year s ago. 😎
The most underrated POET songwriter of my generation.
I would advise any young person interested in the second world war to listen to "Roads to Moscow" by this artist. Moving lyrics, great music and a history lesson all in one.

Thanks :)

2023 - still playing it- still loving it - timeless masterpiece
In the late fall of 1976 I arrived at NAS Oceana, Virginia to start my Navy career. In each bar in Virginia Beach this song was playing. I remember the late bus rides back to base, my first taste of the ocean and seeing my life all ahead of me. So whenever I need to go back I listen to Al's song and I'm immediately back to that time and place agian.
exactly my same experience except I arrived there 10 yrs before yours..
Some things never get old. This song is a good example of that
I think what makes the song cool is that they each get a chance to "speak" through a little snippet of soloing, and the guitar players, the sax player, the pianist and the key player each have a different technique, yet it all blends beautifully.
Don’t forget about the amazing voice delivering those lyrics
This is the best video and song I have seen on UA-cam among the tens of thousands, musical perfection from Master Musicians
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. Just magnificent and that sax something else. This is the best version I’ve heard.
Met Al Stewart today on a BA flight. A gentleman.. Talked music for a few minutes. Never even knew who he was....I was in the midst of folk and rock coolness
I was a kid as well and bought the single when I was 12. Kids of today are not exposed to the quality or variety of music on top 40 radio.
The way this song moves from powerfull piano to guitar to sax is awesome. The instrumentals are so great. There's nothing even close today.
great song...perhaps Al Stewart's best tune!!!
thanks James-Joie'
believe or not ..I am from El Salvador,back in time I was in high school,about 17 years old,and I did not the meaning of the lyrics.....But now I been in the USA for the las 25 years,I know the meaning and I LOVE IT!!!!!! This is my favorite song ever!!!!
One of my all time favorite songs! Been listening to this every since I was about 10. I am now 49 and the song has never grown old. Wow...Just Wow!
I usually like studio versions as a rule.When I came across this I was blown away. The piano playing is amazing !!!
The guitar & sax work ain't to shabby either!
***** Do you play an instrument? I sing I need someone who plays guitar to back me up on From the Beginning E.L.Palmer !!!
I tried to get the guitar once with minor achievement.Can't really help there.It's kool that you play.I'm a happy singer at best.
great pick or choice Cheryl
A true master piece; I love every thing about this song: poetic lyrics, sensational melody , gifted instrumentalists, beautiful Scottish vocalist Al Stewart.
I first listened to this song in 1976; and now 2023, on the new year day of the year of the Cat in Vietnamese astrology. Still love listening to this song over and over again
I agree, I'm doing the same, very beautiful masterpiece, musical genius Al Stewart
Mysterious, classy, beautiful song... one of my favorites. Fantastic live version. Thanks for sharing!

All his albums are wonderful, and he’s so great in concert! A true modern troubadour! ❤
Art Bell turned me on to this song in the late 90's. Dreamland bumper music. Thanks Art, I miss you.
Right here 12 21 24 great song. I'm 67 we had best music and cars growing up.
Loved this when I was young, and it's still absolutely brilliant. So many perfectly written and played parts.

I listen to this song at least twice a day. It takes me back to the good ole days, and the great music we had.

Loved All for years now got the old vinyl out, All is right up there, Saw him in Glasgow years ago,Amazing live.🏴❤️great music.
Great song! Has a melancolic melody... great musicians
A soft keyboard solo followed by a melodic acoustic guitar solo followed by a perfect electric guitar solo and ends with a terrific sax solo simply awesome ,just the great Al stewart made it possible...!
Phil Kenzie?
Que temazo esos años maravillosos 77. Época dorada
I saw Al Stewart at the Beck Theatre Hayes, in an acoustic set must be around 20 years ago.
Love his music now as much as I did then.
always LOVED this song...never knew all of the lyrics until now...thank you ~
So many memories of lying around slack jawed off our heads but loving every note.Wonderful song.
Great composition, timeless music from a now distant era.
This brings me back to the days when all of us had beautiful, long flowing hair. Bone structure to die for. What an amazing voice! What a cutie! I'd take his arm in mine!
Al Stewart. amazing The year of the cat. what a perfection of chores. 🎄🎄🎄
Beautiful song❤️
The pianist is fantastic!!!

I love music like this...

Seriously. What a great song. Seriously. Stone cold classic.
Indeed it's a wonderful song especially the saxophone solo.

Enormously talented musicians, spectacular really ,presented in such a modest and understated manner.Class.
This is positively legendary, they put it on the radio here in Mexico at least a couple of times a day and deservedly so!
Born in 1966,and was lucky enough to have had this kind of music as well as all the other great music from the mid 60's thru the 70's on the radio or turn table while growing up.This song filled my head as I road my bicycle around Fairlawn,and West Akron Ohio.
Pretty much the most perfect song, it's got a little bit of everything........
excellent music
grateful !!!!!
I remember the night this played on BBC!!..I was hooked,not on Al but the romance behind this song.. This has to be one of the tightest bands ever, so in tune with each other...
Wonderful song ! The Sax and Piano pieces are beyond beautiful !!
Got to have the piano intro!
Back in the day, 1977/78 in High School, this was a song you would hear all the time on the "FM" radio - which was considered state of the art at the time. This song brings back fond memories of the "days gone by", most everyone respected each other and didn't judge one another on what our values were or what we believed in, UNLIKE today's pompous generation.
oh dear god yes this song forever
I was a kid when they played this on the "top 40".
Back when the music industry had actual .. musicians . .
This country has become a sewer.
+Dajuro Shouting is the new singing in this sewer.

MUSICAL PERFECTION from MASTER MUSICIANS, the best song and video on UA-cam
My cat insisted i play this for him before bed tonight.
I loved his accent as he sang. It made him seem illegit yet significant. I felt as if the song had some indellible meaning I couldn't understand, yet as a boy I didn't quite know why I loved this tune so much.
Me too!!!
I am 20 years old, but I listen to Al Stewart and other great musicians from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's
Reading the lyrics thinking that's poetry set to music. You really don't see that very often.
Bob Dylan is terrible!
@ Greg - You don't think Bob Dylan is a great lyricist? Tangled Up In Blue creates atmosphere just like this song does. Though tonight I think this song does it a bit better.

The Album of the Year in 1976 "Year of the Cat"
good memories, dad used to love this song. R.I.P dad, I still miss you, and I owe a cat or maybe the cats owe me :P
I think i'll stroll through UA-cam like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime after listening to this incredible song
De um passado que me parece tão perto mesmo tão distante.
Me vejo criança sem consciência das tramoias do tempo.
Corre o rumo sem destino que se escorre entre os dedos.
A saudade do passado nutre o medo do futuro.
Regenera-me e me leve contra a correnteza.
Muito bom! Tempos em que faziam música que mexia com nossos sentimentos, não com a bunda.
Bom dia, Marcio Ripper !
Ronaldo Nobre isso me soa tão hoje. Eu gostava dessa música e cantava com 7 anos. Harmonia linda. Letra (q eu n sabia n epoca) maravilhosa, instrumentos afiados e paixão.
Coisa q poucos tiveram chance de curtir. Somos felizardos por ter visto no auge.
Marcio Ripper , somos felizardos mesmo! Hoje só toca merda!
Eu também cantarolava essa canção mesmo sem saber direito a letra e tradução.
Abração.

I love this song so much and it had been awhile since I had heard it last. Ive been playing it all day today and yesterday. It will be the last song I play today and the first tomorrow. I wish to one day see this live but I am just happy and grateful to be able to hear such a masterpiece. What else should I listen to if I really love this song. I have not listened to the album yet but I will do so soon.
I was round about 3 years old when I heard this my dad use to play it never forgot it even till this day its Epic !!

Hope it is not my last chance to see Al live.
Deserves more recognition for his work.

Like a watercolor in the rain"
Al Stewart; master lyricist!
I have to agree with you there :)
I heard this song on the radio today. I forgot about its existence somehow and how much I loved this song. Thank god I had parents that raised me with good music
One of the greatest songs in my life. Driving through South Africa in the Kalahari listening to this on a tape recorder . Space all round , sand , dust , bush . Loved it.
All going well, till you were attacked by a cat😅.
Master Musicians, music at it's very best, top of the line solid gold standard of excellence
just listened to it with my grandson. like when i listened with his mother i loved those time
Yes the Beatles did mot write all the great songs back then , also listen to Marmalade “Reflections of my life” Quality 🏴❤️great music.
forever 1977 stuck in a Rochester, NY dorm room with the worst winter in ages...and this song playing.
I really miss these days. The songs told stories you had to interpret and MAN this song is so instrumental with the piano, Sax, guitar, keyboards, and anything else I may have left out.
