The First Cut is the Deepest
by Cat Stevens
"I would have given you all of my heart
But theres someone whos torn it apart
And shes taking almost all that Ive got
But if you want, Ill try to love again
Baby Ill try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
"

I'd like to apologise first, not to you but to myself really. This blog is for me more than it is for anyone else. I need to keep doing stuff to stay busy and I've not been keeping up with any of my blogs for a while now.

I decided that I'd return with a Cat Stevens week. I realise that Thursday is an odd day to start a week... but shh.

So I thought I'd post this song because I've not posted it on Facebook yet, basically. I bought the 'best of' recently and since then I have tried listening to something else once (The Raconteurs) and had to turn it off before even the first track was finished. And then Cat Stevens returned promptly.

Cat Stevens. His lyrics are gorgeous, his guitar playing is gorgeous, his voice is gorgeous. In short, he's the love of my life. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME, CAT?! To think for ages I kept listening to 'Father and Son' again and again and completely missed other tracks.

I hope you'll come back to hear more Cat Stevens this week, especially Tom, you Cat Stevens virgin, you.
