GUEST,Yvette Origin: Sad Lisa (Cat Stevens) (45) RE: Origin: Sad Lisa (Cat Stevens) 09 May 09


This song haunted me from the first moment I heard it and I love its wistfulness

I am torn between wondering whether Lisa is a ghost wandering around the halls (no-one can see her other than the singer) or is she an overlooked young girl in a mental institution - (she has become invisable) locked in her sadness and mental pain

I have a sister who sadly is still locked in her mental pain and it really did remind me of her I could really relate to this song

Would love to hear from the man himself to explain his interpretation and inspiration for this song

Best Wishes to all who read!
