Yusuf / Cat Stevens – Morning Has Broken (Official Lyric Video)

Featured on the classic 'Teaser and the Firecat' album, Morning Has Broken was adapted from a traditional hymn with words by Eleanor Farjeon. The song's message beautifully reflected Cat's growing spiritual awareness in the early 1970s; a sense of wonderment, awe and gratitude for the miracle of creation is expressed through praise for the coming of the new day. Cat arranged the song, giving it his own inimical sense of style and passion and invited Rick Wakeman of YES to record the now legendary piano part.

Peace to you! I have a son who is extraordinary and happens to be nonspeaking. He is so much fun! Anyway, while I was cleaning the other day with my headphones over my ears, I walk into the kitchen while hearing your song “Morning has Broken”. I pulled off the headphones and placed them on my son’s ears during that beautiful piano interlude. His face just lit up! Cat Stephens continues to spread joy all over the globe! Sending big love from Vermont this evening. Love is all around us. 🌼🌼🌼

Songs like this is what made the 1970s such a beautiful magical decade for REAL beautiful music... born in 1965 and it's my favorite decade for music.

I buried my father today. This was his song.

This song still brings tears to my eyes over 40 years later, and I am overjoyed that Cat Stevens reappeared on the music scene! I have no doubt his songs have helped others on their spiritual path, as the songs helped me with mine. Spread the word, Cat!
