If you want to sing out, sing out. Cat Stevens (AKA Yusuf Islam).
Not only is this Song the name that I named the Blog, but it is also a happy, hopeful song that I never knew about until I watched Harold and Maude for the first time and fell in love. I remember being really disappointed in myself for not knowing this one since I consider myself a Cat Stevens fan.
Asides from the uplifing, empowering feeling you get once done listening to the song, it reminds me of a time that I needed to hear and feel the lyrics, and believe, that I believed the message. You follow me? I guess You could say I was kind of in a slump, a Harold-esc slump. Through this song and the events shortly after the movie/song was introduced to me, I started to rise from the shadows I was hiding behind and learn and live, "You can do what you want/ The opportunity's on/ And if you find a new way/ You can do it today/ You can make it all true".
