The artist revered by other artists, Cat Stevens has created some of the most original melodies ever created. Nothing against 10,000 Maniacs’ “Peace Train” or Maxi Priest’s “Wild World”, but Stevens’ originals were always much more raw, powerful and emotional than the covers. There is simply nothing else like “Wild World”. Nothing comes close to its melody, its musicality or its intimacy, which detailed Stevens’ fluttering romance with Patti D’Arbanville.
“Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world. It's hard to get by just upon a smile. Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world. I'll always remember you like a child, girl.”
