So glad I was able to be a songwriter (among other things) and put my effort into helping and inspiring people, rather than a politician because they seem to miss the plot most of the time. #music #sundayvibes #Peace

MOTHER
Your love lifts my soul from the body to the sky
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.
I want your sun to reach my raindrops,
So your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.

درختوں کا بادشاہ: وہ شخص جس نے پاکستان میں دس ارب درخت لگانےکا منصوبہ شروع کیا تھا اب اُسے زبردستی کا نشانہ بنایا جا رہا ہے۔ لیکن اُسے اب بھی یقین ہے کہ اللہ اسے اور پاک زمین(پاکستان) کی اگلی نسلوں کی مدد کرےگا.

King of Trees: the man who started to plant 10 billion trees in Pakistan is being forcibly cut down. But he still has faith. May God support him and the future generations of the Clean Earth (literally the meaning of Pakistan)

Good news that the Supreme Court of Pakistan has overturned the arrest of Imran Khan. Now back up your words with actions and set him free. #ImranKhanArrest #imranKhanPTI #FreeImranKhan #Pakistan

Pakistan has for years been allowing corruption to flourish in the shadows. Imran Khan has risen to speak out against it and we are forced to watch the charade continue as he is locked up. Set him free. #imrankhan #pakistan #ImranKhanArrest

The arrest of Imran Khan on charges of corruption is so clearly unjustified. The majority of balance-minded Muslims know that the politics of Pakistan has for years been allowing corruption to flourish in the shadows, behind party doors. Now someone has risen who speaks out… Show more

It was by a pure stroke of destiny that I was introduced to Paul Samwell-Smith. He helped me enter into the acoustic folk universe. He didn’t have to do very clever things, he’d just sit me in the right place, put the microphone in the right position and capture me performing my… Show more

Linda Lewis the Nightingale
I’m so sorry to hear of Linda Lewis passing. She was a good soul-friend and fine artist. Her flat on Hampstead Way was a regular home for artist and musicians in the 70’s. Linda became my personal support act during the ‘Bamboozle Tour’ of 1974, and… Show more

It's a coincidence that King of a Land is coming out at the same time as the coronation of King Charles III and I think there are a few things in this song that could be very useful for the new king.

"All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside.” Those are the words from one of my most emotive songs, "Father & Son", a story about a son who has found a new path in life and decides to leave home. #FatherAndSon #journey #life #wednesdaythought

We revealed it on the Night of Destiny
And what will explain to you what the Night of Destiny is?
Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months.
In it descend the Angels and the Spirit on every kind of affair from their Lord
Peace. Until the rising of the dawn.

Take The World Apart sounds like I’m out to sort of demolish all the great world heritage sites – the Colosseum, and the Great Wall of China… – that’s not true! What I'm really saying is that you might have to discard some old attachments on your search for peace, the lighter… Show more

The first mosque I ever prayed in was Al Aqsa, Jerusalem. I am gutted, seeing the brutal attack on worshippers in the Holy month of Ramadan, on the days of Passover. Do they not have hearts?

The job of education is to teach people how not to remain ignorant. Unfortunately, much of the media and its bosses seem to want to keep people stunted. Understandable perhaps, because they only have today's and yesterday's news and nothing about eternity. #education #Ramadan

On Monday's Roundhouse show, I was honored to meet some of Yusuf's family, who brought me this lovely, autographed Teaser And The Firecat boxed set. I have listened to his records for my whole life, and he learned me well. Thank you, , Yoriyos, and Mark.

Mum used to play some lullabies from Sweden on piano. The Swedish genre of lullabies definitely influenced me. I remember when I sang Morning Has Broken, the entry for that song was to think about my mother’s voice and the way in which she sang.
