Lyricist: Cat Stevens
Lyrics:
Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come
Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you
Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true
Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss
Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Review:
Kicking off A&M's ambitious Cat Stevens reissue
program is this 20-song introduction. The set
surveys all of Stevens's stages, from the
orchestrated late-1960s sides through his
early-'70s peak to his more eclectic late-1970s
experiments. Following the progression makes for
an interesting endeavor as Stevens learns to
harness his ambitious ideas with arrangements that
don't obscure his rhapsodic messages. Few artists
of his generation were more gifted when it came to
plucking timeless melodies out of thin air, and
his sumptuous voice was always able to movingly
convey his bittersweet lyrics. As a career
overview (including one previously unreleased cut)
this set achieves its goal, hitting all of the
chart successes along the way and basically
defining his role as a sensitive '70s
singer-songwriter, but some fans may opt for the
classic early-'70s studio records, which find
Stevens at his most consistently touching. --Marc
