56 years ago, Cat Stevens released "Father and Son" as a single. It was originally written for "Revolussia", a planned musical featuring Nigel Hawthorne, about a boy wishing to join the revolution against the wishes of his conservative farmer father. Thoughts on this song?

Unfortunately this beautiful song is no longer available on streaming, at least in the US. The best way to listen to it is through this 2001 compilation: https://www.discogs.com/master/663754-Cat-Stevens-Cat-Stevens
