Lady D'arbanville
by Cat Stevens
"My lady darbanville, you look so cold tonight.
Your lips feel like winter,
Your skin has turned to white
"

This is easily one of my favourite Cat Stevens tracks because it's got a real air of pre-raphaelite and gothic storytelling and illustration. The lyrics are beautiful, yet quite dark and macabre. I absolutely adore the instrumentation in this song... and the background vocals... They fit perfectly with the lyrics

Listen to it here!
..and enjoy :)
