In March 2005 he released the first single, and the first song he has recorded with music, in over twenty years. The single was called "Indian Ocean" and was about the tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004. Proceeds from the single went to help orphans in Banda Aceh, one of the areas worst affected by the tsunami. The single was not released on CD, but could be purchased through several online music sellers. Stevens said he had recorded other songs, but wanted to see if he still had an audience; the song did not receive major radio air-play. At the time he also announced that plans were under way to create a musical based on his life and music.
