Year of the Cat by Al Stewart

Most people I've shown this song to are like "I don't get it" and I'm like "haha yeah I know.." 🥲

Heard it for the first time a few years ago and it's been buzzing in my brain since then. I don't listen to much music anymore (lots is too overwhelming for me), but this one never left me.
