🎵 Morning Has Broken… like the first morning… Praise for the morning, praise for the spring, God’s re-creation…This Cat Stevens song is absolutely beautiful—especially on a bright spring morning like this one. It brings back a cherished memory: my sister Cindy singing it so beautifully at First Baptist Church in Nampa, Idaho, when we were kids. I think of her every time I hear it.It’s the perfect song to start your day—with your coffee, your thoughts, and the birds singing outside in Boston.
Peace and love, From the desk—and the decks—of DJ Evan McIntyre 🎧💫
From 🎧 Club Evan Radio Intro:
"You're listening to Club Evan Radio on ClubEvan.com — where every track takes you somewhere. Up next is a sunrise for your soul — Cat Stevens with ‘Morning Has Broken.’ This isn’t just a song — it’s a breath of fresh air from the early '70s. A time when the world was slowing down and listening in. Let this classic remind you how powerful a peaceful morning can be.”
"Morning Has Broken" is a gentle, uplifting song that celebrates the beauty of a new day and the sense of renewal it brings. Originally a Christian hymn written by English author Eleanor Farjeon in 1931, it was inspired by the natural beauty of the village of Alfriston in East Sussex. The melody is a traditional Scottish tune called "Bunessan."
However, it became widely popular when Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam) released his version in 1971 on his album Teaser and the Firecat. His rendition, featuring rich piano accompaniment by Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman, gave the hymn a modern folk-pop sound that resonated with audiences around the world.
🌅 What’s the Song About?
"Morning Has Broken" is essentially a celebration of life, nature, and spiritual awakening. It paints a picture of morning as a fresh start — the “first dewfall,” the “blackbird,” the “newborn day.” It invites listeners to pause and appreciate the wonder in everyday moments.
It’s not preachy — it's peaceful. A quiet joy. A musical sunrise.
🕊️ The Era: Early 1970s
The early '70s were a time of soul-searching and back-to-nature movements, especially after the turbulence of the late '60s. People were turning to spirituality, simplicity, and inner peace. Cat Stevens became a voice of that era — offering introspective music with meaning, much like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Carole King.
"Morning Has Broken" fit that moment beautifully: a mix of old and new, faith and nature, tradition and folk-pop freshness.
