I always have a hard time telling whether Yusef Islam/Cat Stevens is being optimistic or pessimistic as he sings this classic. Any ideas?

“I Believe In Father Christmas,” that song also made it to #2. The part at the end is based on “Lieutenant Kije Suite” by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.
Of all the attempts at fitting Russian classical music into a popular sing, as Sting’s use of Prokofiev in RUSSIANS, no song is as sweet to my ear as Emerson Lake & Palmer’s adaption in Father Christmas: Like “I Believe In Father Christmas,” that song also made it to #2. The part at the end is based on “Lieutenant Kije Suite” by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.

‘Lorenzo’s Oil’ was a film with Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon about the same thing.
Lorenzo is the story of the true search for a cure for adrenoleukodystrophy in an oil invented by a 15 year old boy.
That boy, the child who refused to be a victim and instead became his own healer, sent lyrics to Phil Collins about his story and Phil wrote a song out of it. Phiil’s touring keyboardist the fantastically talented Brad Cole said, “Phil, these are some of the best lyrics you’ve ever written!”

Just a moment of perfection. Around the part of the song that Pat comes in after the major break. I had my walkman on, which was not a usual thing at that time. Yeah, passing the White House, listening to this at about 7 PM, finishing a post work beer.
In 1984 I had a college internship in Washington, D.C.
After work, the bus used to pass in front of the East Lawn of the White House, and there was one night on hearing this song for the first time and looking out the window I had a DC “peak experience.” Just a moment of perfection. Around the part of the song that Pat comes in after the major break. I had my walkman on, which was not a usual thing at that time. Yeah, passing the White House, listening to this at about 7 PM, finishing a post work beer.
This song for whatever reason – I think it’s Nana’s Brazilian percussion – reminds me of the basic Chicago sound I grew up in during the 1960s. It was not music from rock music. Rather, it was Debussy, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart when my Dad studied then Beatles and Burt Bacharach when my dad went back to the hospital in Chicago to learn to be a surgeon.

Matherton will not reveal her favorite team. Her father, like mine, is a Giants fan, that tough enough.
My wife is a Philadelphia eagles fan of all her life.
I am a lowly N.Y. Jets fan of my life.
Hence the song ringing in the house – for my attitude, not hers!
