In "Heaven Where True Love Goes", Yusuf Islam take us into his journey to his discovery of Islam 30 years ago. Read the CNN transcript of his interview by Larry King on his conversion. Some listeners just don't get it (read the comment section), literally thinking there are computer programmers in Heaven.
Yusuf; (born Steven Demetre Georgiou, known in a previous life as Cat Stevens) the name he used for his 28-year comeback album An Other Cup contains a collection of spiritual songs. "Heaven Where True Love Goes" is definitely my favorite track. It's been on my play list for so many weeks. The repetitive verses are effectively used to emphasize his deep faith that Yusuf had discovered and submitted to.
Beautiful strings starts off the song, climbs to the repetitive chorus, and later a Gospel music-like background vocal arrangements that would take you deeper into the soul of this song. The love message here is a metaphor to the submission to a new religion. It is poignant in every way you look at it.
So spread the words of love and be thankful that you have found yours. For I have found mine but lately lack in manifestation. I have to partly thanks to song like this and genius like Yusuf to remind us all to follow the path of the righteousness once you have found that love.
You may sample the song here.
Lyrics: Heaven/Where True Love Goes
The moment you walked inside my door
I knew that I need not look no more,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you.
Oh will you? Will you? Will you?
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
And if you walk along and if you lose your way,
Don't forget the one who gave you this today
Follow True Love, follow True Love,
Follow True Love, follow True Love
Oh will you? Will you? Will you?
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes,
And if a storm should come and if you face away,
That may be the chance for you to be safe
And if you make it through the trouble and the pain,
That may be the time for you to know his name
The moment you walked inside my door
I knew that I need not look no more,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you.
The moment you said "I will"
I knew that this love was real,
And that my faith was seen - oh
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment I looked into your eyes
I knew that they told no lies,
There would be no good byes - Ah
'cause Heaven must've programmed you
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
