I felt it was about time to introduce some musical leads, which is something I haven’t done in a while. Today I chose Cat Power, who is a lovely American lyricist, distinguished in her minimalist style, which features haunting, moving vocals intermingled with piano and guitar. Cat Power is renowned for being excessively insecure on stage, which is particularly strange considering she has such a lovely voice and fascinating musics. Just goes to show that everyone can feel insecure once in a while, despite being talented!

This video is an intriguing collage of sequences from old movies, all of which are depict people falling to a certain death. It provides a nice contrast to the lyrics, which you can read bellow- also, I must add I definitely agree freedom is essentially a state of mind ( actually in my opinion, pretty much anything you can conceive is a state of mind, but thats’ an issue that will be discussed in another occasion).

Cat Stevens “Maybe Not” lyrics:

There’s a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
I Dream that I see, don’t kill it, it’s free
You’re just a man, you get what you can

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

Listen to me, don’t walk that street
There’s always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We’re just living people

We won’t have a thing
So we’d got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

You’ve got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won’t have a thing
So we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

But with your mind
