I have always like this song. It's different, and a really good composition. I just found this video. Notice how well they play on live TV. Every person in the band knows their part and their instrument. Look how long Al's fingers are as he plays one of the guitar solos. Though video is not great, this is classic.

Still don't understand what it's about but have always liked the song too.

From DDG's Search Assist... '"Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart explores themes of fleeting romance and the allure of exotic experiences. The song's narrative follows a tourist who becomes captivated by a mysterious woman, reflecting on the transient nature of life and love against a backdrop of nostalgia and intrigue.'

This song, and Dylan's Mozambique, reminds me of the stories that older co-workers told of driving/hitchhiking through Europe and the Middle-East in the 60s. Seen some people YouTube documenting similar drives now. But it always looks very tense in comparison to those stories I was told. :(
