I walked into the DPL at Emerson today and there was a familiar song playing, but I couldn’t quite make it out at first. Keto was sitting in an office there staring at a computer with the music playing, then it struck me what the song was. It was, Trouble, by Cat Stevens. It seemed so out of place hearing that song from the 70’s being played there, by such a young person. It wasn’t even one of Stevens’ biggest hits. It is from the soundtrack of the film Harold and Maude and that is why Keto was listening to it. It was a special moment and a wave of pleasurable lament swept over me.

I thought of putting the lyrics to the song here, but changed my mind. So in honor of the of the 70’s, Cat Stevens and the old soul Keto Shimizu, I decided to put something else here. I know it’s sappy, but thats what nostalgia is about, right?

If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
- Cat Stevens

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
cause theres a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
cause theres a million ways to go
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunitys on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see ah ah ah
Its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
cause theres a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
cause theres a million things to do
You know that there are

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
cause theres a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
