Seems like those of us who first heard him 40 years ago - then were so dismayed at his leaving Music to pursue his search for Peace and Light - have been holding our collective breath - waiting for him to return. His songs are even more relevant today - and his writing and singing have not lost their depth or inspiration. We are fortunate for the existence of YouTube - so that those of us who won't be able to attend the actual events - will be able to hear and see him again in this medium. Yes !
I don't care about life transformations or religious believes. This is Cat Stevens, this is a f!@!ing good song and remains me the old Cat Stevens and makes me feel the same chills I used to have when listening this man singing 28 years ago.
Lovely instrumental ending. It could have come sooner in the song and been elaborated upon more. Hope he'll do that in future. A great talent that has been sorely missed for the 28 years he disappeared from public view.
I have been listening to Cat Stevens since the mid
1970's, I did not know that He has gone trough LIFE TRANSFORMATIONS, I have seen he other videos as YUSUF ISLAM, He is an INSPIRATION on the BEAUTIFUL transformation of this man - A true NOBLE MAN OF GOD, an INSPIRATION TO ALL.
I really should leave a comment seeing as I have been coming back and listening to this version every day, such a wonderful song and message, thank you for sharing.
<3 i loved cat stevens, i love and respect yusuf islam, even more <3 - this is my favorite from, An Other Cup. such a beautiful light within. reflected in songs. creating bridges that touch and connect all humanity. universal messages of unity, hope and love. salaam/peace
Young or old...his sound is every bit as good as it once was!!! Despite all the hateul rhetoric from extremist factions of more than one religion :) The message of peace and understanding prevails.
er braucht keine große Kulisse ! er schafft sie sich mit seiner stimme und das mit erfolg ...
Jedes mal wenn ich seine stimme höre muss ich denken was egtl mit unserer welt geschieht und muss an "mein" mädchen denken was egtl gar nicht mein mädchen ist. Es gibt so viel ungerechtigkeit, die man schnell vergisst !
Doch er erinnert mich daran wie es es sein könnte ... in einer Weld ohne zwänge , ohne Kriege !
Meine Jugend, ich liebe noch heute seine Lieder und sein neues Album knüpft dort an wo er aufgehört hat für mich bleibt er in meinen Träumen Cat Stevens.
He has a great sound. I've only just discovered him today, he's awesome. I love performers like this that give a message through music. Usually it's the only time I'll listen, lol. I love this song, although "Peace Train" and "Father & Son" are my favourites.
He still have a beatiful voice and if you listen carefuly, you can hear a little bit of Cat Stevens's voice ;) anyway i just want to say that Yusuf Islam is a VERY VERY VERY GOOD MEN!! ;) peace and love everyone! ;) take care! (Cat STevens/Yusuf Islam is my hero!!;))
He really serves true love,his amazing life story let me think that he really really did serve god by bringing music where was not allowed ! Our (mind) meaning is not Infinity's meaning...afterwords, when things have happend we may see it clearly...or not ? :)Love
That happened because there was a different person, Youssef Islam, on the no-fly list, and they got the two confused. The mistake has since been corrected, and in fact Yusuf toured the US in 2006 to promote the An Other Cup album. :-)
3chrds, I totally agree with you... the world today NEEDS that good vibe...seriously. If you've been viewing Cat's/Yusuf'd videos on YouTube, I'm sure you would've notice a lot of bickering among so called muslims and christians and other folk... and that's just here... there's just too much hate and animosity and distrust among people... we tend to forget we're ALL human...
yeah right on. it's too bad to see people ignore the message, and not at least try to keep open minds. they like automatically come to judgement. it sucks. i've read the comments, for sure. people don't control themselves on here, just piss and crap on here for the most part.
(cont) it's great to have this truly channel of dialogue with so many people, on youtube as well as the internet in general, but i don't think people are elevating to any greater levels of possibility with this wide open channel of discussion, in the rel world, much less the internet.
A man who has spent millions of his fortune each year for victims of war, education and charity.. He has never changed... a man with pure, genuine heart and feelings.. his new faith does not undermine himself as a person, but it makes him more aware and concern to ... oo what a wonderful faith it is...
i think yusuf needs to go on tour around the world. not for stones-type money, but to just spread his positive message and feelings. i'd really like to see a show like that right now.
me has hecho muy feliz con tu regreso querido hombre, lleno de talento, humildad y aún con una infinita creatividad. Armonía como la que tu regalas hace falta en esta tierra. Gracias.
Actually this is a very old song, a re-make from Foreigner Suite, just listen carefully to the whole record. Still nice though. My favorite from An Other Cup is "Maybe there´s a World", it´s already a classic and it´s one of the preetiest songs he has ever made !!
Foreigner Suite was my favorite song back in '73. I've followed his music since 1971. "Heaven" and "Maybe There's A World" are my favorites on the new CD. It's just great to hear his unique voice once again.
he will always be cat stevens

The magic that made us love his music, is still there...
I heard this song today in the radio for the first time...
It's so sad that we don't listen to him in the radio as often as in the 80's...
He's still making incredible music.
