There are rumors that Ed has covered my favorite Cat Stevens song of all time, listed as "Sing Out" on his setlist. This is my FAVORITE Cat Stevens song, and I need to know if this is in fact the song Ed covered.
The Lyrics to Cat Steven's Song:
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are



So, anyone who was at the show, is this the BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING lyrics to the song "Sing Out" ed has been playing? I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEally hope so!

    Ed must really love the Harold & Maude soundtrack.

    Trouble, Don't Be Shy & If you want to sing out, sing out are all from that soundtrack.

    Great movie btw, one of my favorites of all time, kinda weird but it's great.

    Great song. I just watched Harold and Maude the other night. Crazy ass movie.

    It is really crazy. I rented it for the first time when I worked in a video store in high school then I went and bought the DVD after watching it... It's one of those movies that I take pride in showing to people for the first time... like Repo Man.

    I liked Cat Stevens when he was in favor of the directive to kill Salmon Rushdie.

    This just proves what the media can do to someone if they aren't careful...

    "I'm very sad that this seems to be the No. 1 question people want to discuss. I had nothing to do with the issue other than what the media created. I was innocently drawn into the whole controversy. So, after many years, I'm glad at least now that I have been given the opportunity to explain to the public and fans my side of the story in my own words. At a lecture, back in 1989, I was asked a question about blasphemy according to Islamic Law, I simply repeated the legal view according to my limited knowledge of the Scriptural texts, based directly on historical commentaries of the Qur'an. The next day the newspaper headlines read, "Cat Says, Kill Rushdie." I was abhorred, but what could I do? I was a new Muslim. If you ask a Bible student to quote the legal punishment of a person who commits blasphemy in the Bible, he would be dishonest if he didn't mention Leviticus 24:16" - Cat Stevens, Rolling Stone, 2000

    Yup. I just showed it to my house mates the other night. All of them reacted to the movie in the same way "totally fucked up and weird, but a great movie with great acting."

    I almost died when I saw that he had sung it! Harold & Maude is one of my all time favorite movies and I love that song!

    I hope he does it in SC before the show, then I can die happy!

    I have never seen Harold and Maude, but I am a HUGE Cat Stevens fan, I grew up listening to him, one of my mom's favorite musicians, and If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out is my all time favorite song of his... followed by god bless the children of alah in a close second!

    makes me wonder... would pearl jam be as big if they were ivory hummus?
