The first time I heard that song was in 1978, I was 16. I was that young man. Today I am 58 and I have three boys 22, 20, and 16. hearing it today made me remember many feelings of my youth, but over all it has reminded me that my boys are looking for their own space in this world, and I need to let them do it. A great song, a great rendition by DM. Cheers.

I discovered Cat Stevens the year I graduated high school at 17. My father died when I was 4 and after being in a foster home there was a small amount of money for me from SSI and I got a funky, old apartment over a grocery store. It was sparsely furnished and I spent the last bit on a nice stereo and a collection of albums. Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, mostly newer folk with a little Grand Funk Railroad thrown in, all of which still dot my playlists. Later I remember my lovesick 13 yr old playing How Can I Tell You to death. Nothing like Cat Stevens to calm & soothe the heart and mind during covid. Dave nailed it. 👏👏👏

Dave is such a great dude. And if you notice, he accidentally goes to D instead of E minor near the end ("harder to ignore it") yet catches/switches it in time - phew! That D is also a Bm at times during the song, there're essentially interchangeable in that tune. Had the pleasure of seeing DMB this summer in Bangor, ME,, and at Willie's 90th at the Hollywood Bowl. His version of Time Slips Away (in which he also had a little flub and he giggles to stage right, prolly so stoned!) is FN incredible - Google it! - he took it to a another level, the highlight (no pun intended) of that weekend for me. And his intro comments were hilarious. Arguably the most magnanimous mega-star of all time, me loves Dave.
