#170

OH VERY YOUNG

“…Though you want to last forever,

you know you never will...”

Cat Stevens was one of the key musicians that shaped the singer/ songwriter era of the early 1970s. "Oh Very Young" was a song he created that was featured on his 'Buddha and the Chocolate Box' album. The LP was issued in 1974. 

Stevens' thought-provoking lyrics deal with the inevitability that we all grow old and that everything has a limited time span.

As new songs are covered on this blog, a definitive version will be added to a spotify playlist. Find it and the other Caffé Latté playlists at:
