Cat Stevens — On The Road To Find Out [Folk rock] (5:04) – 1970
I was going to post a quote from some new agey mystic,
But it wasn’t exactly what I wanted to say.
What I want to say takes five minutes and four seconds.
Takes some guitar, takes three hundred and eight words
Takes a journey, a pilgrimage, to get to the punchline.
The punchline being:
The answer is right there
Where it’s been all along,
And it takes some of us
Five years on the road
To discover it.

Cohen’s deadpan delivery is perfect for this kind of engagement, for the long and repeating and always learning more.
Nothing wasted and nothing missed. Nothing longed for or skipped. It’s low key and deliberate. Measured and delivered with the calmness and wisdom of resignation.
It’s a beautiful day.
Take a breather.
Here’s something to listen to while you do.
