A song...

One of my favorites songs is ''Father and Son'' of Yusuf Islam (more known as Cat Stevens). He born as Steven Demetre Georgiu, but he is known by his artistic name: Cat Stevens. Later, on 1977 Stevens converted to Islam and changing his name to Yusuf Islam the next year.
This popular song is from the album of 1970 ''Tea for the Tillerman'' and it talks about a father that don't understand the desires of his son, and the son that it wants to change his life and follow his own way. Stevens uses a deep voice to characterize the father and a higher tone to the son.
I like this song because it remembers me my father, who died the last year. I'm not a sentimental person, but this song makes me sad and happy at the same time because I remember the good moments that I spent with my dad and it's a beautiful tribute to him. :)
