In the middle of one of the greatest songs ever, Cat gently reminds us that 'love is better than a song!'. My song is a finger pointing, but it's not the way, the moon, or even love...it's a commercial vehicle. Or a loving commercial vehicle? A catalyst! What humility and better still, perspective this handsome gentleman has. His quiet, his roar, his play, his liberation: all soothe me. Plus he has gorgeous style

i saw this movie, when it came out, at 18 years old after moving to key west . it is by far the most inspiration movie on so many levels, including the music. itwas and remains to this day , 40 years later, not only my favorite film, but the most impactful.
I must have seen Harold and Maude over 25 times as a young adult. I think Cat Stevens, Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort were like old friends everytime I saw that movie. No one's music could be more perfect for that movie than Cat Stevens!
I Love this, so much truth to Yusuf Islam's music Much Praise words to live by. Thankyou for this post I went to see Harold and Maude by accident when I was 13 years old I don't think any movie made me think and feel more openly then Harold and Maude what a great movie so much honesty and reality. I still remember the feeling walking out of the theatre My friends and I. I am 46 years old still magical.
@dylanparker72 lol!!!! i wouldn't dare! he speaks nothing but the truth! (except vegetarianism because that is just not natural or healthy) what is it again...shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like too? Never a truer line in a song ;)
I don't think he's ever composed a mediocre song in his life. His melodies and the lyrics too are always so evocative. And to me, a middle-aged man now, Cat brings back lovely memories of places, people, events, good or bad no matter but definitely sweet to remember. For me he's one of the greatest musicians ever

There are very few songs he did that I can say i do not like ,The movie harold and Maude was actually hilarious but at the same time made you think twice why you do not stop to take the time to appreciate life .Rock on YOU WILL ALWAYS BE CAT TO ME yusuf !And you never should have quit playing professionally,I know its against your religion but it is what make you YOU
Cat Stevens music is slowly become more important to me than The Beatles, I'm a huge beatles fan, cat just gets me, though I'm in my twenties, his music has made me a better person and has tought me to love everyone, even though i do not agree with his religon it's ok cause thats his path and I love the man and would in second go see him in concert, and if i ever met him I would scream and giggle like little school girl, I'm sixfoot one two hunderd and twenty pound boxer lol
@78lecamino I love Harold and Maude..I loved the music on it. He really defined my early twenties with his music. I agree with u in my mind he is a musician first. I wish I could see him in concert with these old songs! Let me go with u if he ever does do a concert! BTW, in the movie Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon really were in love in real life. Its in her book!
Man, Harold and Maude . .. Haven't seen that movie since I was 14. I hella want to watch it again, great flick.
I don't care what ANYBODY says about Cat's religion or what have you, talk about a great musician. I suppose him and this movie kinda goes hand in hand
It's strange how we link songs to a dead loved one. It hurts, but feels good at the same time. It lets me know that I'm still here; that I'm still alive.
@mrmrjamestalaga Absolutely. Except, most of the music I tie to them, I had never even heard at the time of their death, or before it. Which is why I say it's sort of strange, because you're not recalling that period of time for the song, yet somehow you feel like the song perfectly ties to them; even though the lyrics may not fit them perfectly, the song does. I hope that makes sense, I didn't really know how to word it.
This song, helped me out of a serious depressive rut. Actually, all of his songs together helped me feel better about life, love, relationships, everything in general. As well as the H&M movie. If I were to ever meet him, I don't think I would be able to find the perfect words to thank him for his music and what he has done for my mentality and emotions. He's just such a great man. (...and a hottie, too)
@TaiwanIsntACountry wtf are you on about? he's born and raised in london, lives in leicester now and he's parents were greek. how is he arab? what difference does it make.
@TaiwanIsntACountry Dude, he was born in london, and come on, even if he's a muslim, its alright, all religion is crazy. Accept everyone. Love everyone. Don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by.
@MadamDirtBag well, i believe that our moments define the themes of our lifes... but, this song is good, I was disagreeing some coments only! ex.: Cat Stevens = or > God :P it's a exaggeration!!!
@scotttyyy442 I personally care about the emotional lows and sufferings of my fellow humans, dead or alive. Suicide creates a lot more issues than it solves. Find someone to talk to if you're feeling that low. If you don't think you can trust a friend, there are plenty of hotlines you can call that are all volunteers -- people who do care.

Movie: Very moving when not somewhat static and boring. Cats soundtrack (and I am not a big fan) makes the movie much better and they were very lucky to get him.
this was the song I used for my Mums funeral, we both loved Harold and Maude and this song was Mums message for life. I've learn't to play this on my guitar and for a long time it would make me sad........now it makes me happy.Love you Mum
@tonyskanking I've had a similar experience Tony, a friend of mine died and they played a song at his funeral which was difficult for me to listen to for a long time, now I love it, it always makes me think of him
The song was Man of the World - Peter Green
Still brings a tear sometimes though. RIP Charles!
These songs changed my life.... i watch this movie in my movie class and i thought it was the first movie that achualy made me change my way of thinking.
I am a 17 yr old girl and I LOVE this song!! This is real music, not Bieber haha. I watched Harold and Maude for my tv/film lit class and I love EVERY song on the movie especially this song. Amazing.
@Covergirlstarify Interesting, I'm a 17 year old guy who also enjoys this song. Only difference is that I'm watching it in AP English Lit, not TV/Film Lit.
@killu19 Wow that's awesome!! I think I am the only one in his classes that really enjoyed this movie, I thought it was awesome and the end made me feel powerful haha
@killu19 OH I KNOW!!! I saw him hang hiself and everyone was CONFUZZLED haha, and then after dinner where that room was all bloody haha, but after that it was amazing <3
@twilightedwardbella9 Good!! It's a great movie! 2 bad everyone else in my class thought it was too weird and it stunk but I enjoyed it quite a bit! and all the music on it is just fabulous :)
@carlabattista that is so sad. I remember watching this in my humanities class in high school and having it make such a huge impression on me. I hope when my kids are old enough to watch this they will glean the deep lessons from it as I did. Makes me sad to hear kids these days are so shallow. ;(
Don't become a teacher. It's hard to teach things you love to a new generation. Draining. It makes you love them less. Harold and Maude wouldn't go over in any class I've taught. (though I loved it in high school). It's too personal to be viewed publicly.
@twilightedwardbella9 Funny you say that! In my freshman year of college, I took Psych 202 and my Psyc teacher played this, its how I first saw it! And I've loved it ever since!!! :D:D:D
peace and love!!! fuck the corporations... in europe there is a big trend of employee owned buisnesses... its like having a union except there is no CEO and no union... all the workers get there way all the time for the bettering of the organization... im gonna start my own democratically run graphic design studio here in america (if i decide to stay in america lol) (france pays for college, all you need is your brain)
I see so much bullshit talk about racism and who's right. So much beauty in his music and other nations that sing out. Love and peace is what everyone should be about
I just wanted to sincerely apologize for anything I have written up until now on this site. In my foolish attempt to joke around with someone I was insensitive to many good people.
dmbbt123 : The Good news will out. Peace Train, If you want to sing out, Moonshadow - come on people! This man is a man of peace and love. Thank you Cat Stevens for giving us others so much good sound and love and peace. You are in our hearts who loved you then, as we love you now. "What I want is Peace in Good Faith. We are all children of the one God. " - Geronimo
This song is all about Islam and religion. Don't be fooled as Cat was planning his move to Islam (but not the attack) years ahead of us. Shy means Muslim. "there" means nirvana when all Americans and Israelis die.
@11xzxzxz the US army is full of stupid meat shields... they are only good for taking a bullet, i say let them die... same with the taliban... lets just throw them in a pit with swords and axes so we can go on living our civilized, intelligent lives away from all this retarded hate and violence... the troops can suck my cock
@11xzxzxz Wait, so you're saying that Yusuf Islam wrote this song to mean "don't be muslim"? C'mon, I'm not even going to call you out for your bigotry. But really? Does that make any sense?
Also nirvana is not a concept of Islam. That's Buddhism. You have the internet at your fingertips, why not use it?
@Extertainment Of course it makes no sense; I was being facetious. R u saying "wait" because you're intellectually challenged so I should go slow with u? I assume you are referring to my nonsensical non sequitur blog on "shy" means Muslim, etc. Cat's conversion didn't take place until 7 years after he wrote this song and there is no evidence that he was even interested in Islam when he wrote this song circa '71. You have the "internet at your fingertips", buddy, just chew on your fingers.
@11xzxzxz I would love to believe that every stupid and nonsensical youtube comment was non sequitur, but sadly 99% are serious or "trolling." Reading your original comment as non sequitur, I withdraw my objections.
However, I did realize that this song was released well before his conversion. I simply used Yusuf Islam rather than Cat Stevens to illustrate my point. Also, even though Cat had not converted or shown any signs of conversion, he was certainly not anti-Islamic at the time.
@Extertainment OK thanks for seeing my truthfulness (even if you aren't perfectly sure) that I was me being facetious. Perhaps one would have to follow me around the web to see my mock serious/joking is in action a lot or just look at my home site and read my stuff.
I could have guessed you might write back and indicate that Cat's conversion was a long time coming. I think you stopped short of this though - though you tried to imply it and have your cake and eat it too.
@Extertainment I could not find any information even indicating that Cat was "not anti-Islamic". He probably wasn't .. I was just wondering where you found that Cat was not anti-Islamic. Reading books is not enough evidence, but I will let you slide if that is your info. I am not a fan of Cat except for maybe 10 songs so maybe you know more than me. On this song, the melody is weak to me and piano is weaker ..I would have advised more "heavy notes" and more pounding.. ha.
@Extertainment CONT ad infinitum. I apologize for my sarcasm but I felt you started the fight in a strong sense. You and no one else could be expected to know what set me off (more than usually very mature person I am . haha): it was your remark "You have the internet at your fingerprints buddy, use it". We first the internet is not reliable, I don't care if you see something 4 times. Second I have no fingers (haha). Seriously, you were smug and assumed, in a small sense,
@Extertainment Thought there is no reason for me to get even a little mad, I did because I do use the internet way-too-much-man and it often sucks. And I had used it before I wrote my initial remarks. And your remark was smart-alecky (not that mine aren't as I can see myself as others do and Please don't make me look again - ha). So I let you slide there because this emperor is usually half-dressed himself. Take care and beware of non sequiturs. Good luck and I will be stalking you. Joke!
@Extertainment Yeah I know Buddhist concepts but you are so serious or seriously lacking in humor and the "pain (you cause) is enough to make a shy, bald Buddhist reflect and plan a mass-murder" . Now before you tell me again about Buddhism just learn a lesson from before - this time my words in quote are lyrics from a Smith's song.
This song where I love it and know the meaning but I am too scared to live by it. I am so PAINFULLY shy and my shyness has intensified over the course of the past year and I don't want to be shy but right now it is too hard for me. Anyway, I love this song.
Cat Stevens was and is (no matter what name he chooses to go by) a master singer-songwriter-man of wisdom- cool cat. Thanks for all the cool cuts from his (and my) past. What was Good, is Good. Eh? Peace Brothers and Sisters. Be Excellent to one another.
I dont know why people are talking religion or poltics I just wanted to say its a cool song and Pearl Jam did a great cover once on one of their live albums.
Ahh, too beautiful. Thank you for all the magical images of this most beautiful man.

I am a quite old teacher (54). I showed my students the film a couple of months ago. They laughed a lot. And I was almost moved to tears....

@carlabattista that is so sad. I remember watching this in my humanities class in high school and having it make such a huge impression on me. I hope when my kids are old enough to watch this they will glean the deep lessons from it as I did. Makes me sad to hear kids these days are so shallow. ;(

Don't become a teacher. It's hard to teach things you love to a new generation. Draining. It makes you love them less. Harold and Maude wouldn't go over in any class I've taught. (though I loved it in high school). It's too personal to be viewed publicly.

This song is all about Islam and religion. Don't be fooled as Cat was planning his move to Islam (but not the attack) years ahead of us. Shy means Muslim. "there" means nirvana when all Americans and Israelis die.

@wildboy789789 Well I don't agree with you and you have really oversimplified things. Good luck to you .. I really am not looking to debate you.
11xzxzxz 1 year ago
@11xzxzxz Wait, so you're saying that Yusuf Islam wrote this song to mean "don't be muslim"? C'mon, I'm not even going to call you out for your bigotry. But really? Does that make any sense?
Also nirvana is not a concept of Islam. That's Buddhism. You have the internet at your fingertips, why not use it?
Extertainment 1 year ago
@Extertainment Of course it makes no sense; I was being facetious. R u saying "wait" because you're intellectually challenged so I should go slow with u? I assume you are referring to my nonsensical non sequitur blog on "shy" means Muslim, etc. Cat's conversion didn't take place until 7 years after he wrote this song and there is no evidence that he was even interested in Islam when he wrote this song circa '71. You have the "internet at your fingertips", buddy, just chew on your fingers.
11xzxzxz 1 year ago
@11xzxzxz I would love to believe that every stupid and nonsensical youtube comment was non sequitur, but sadly 99% are serious or "trolling." Reading your original comment as non sequitur, I withdraw my objections.
However, I did realize that this song was released well before his conversion. I simply used Yusuf Islam rather than Cat Stevens to illustrate my point. Also, even though Cat had not converted or shown any signs of conversion, he was certainly not anti-Islamic at the time.
Extertainment 1 year ago
@Extertainment OK thanks for seeing my truthfulness (even if you aren't perfectly sure) that I was me being facetious. Perhaps one would have to follow me around the web to see my mock serious/joking is in action a lot or just look at my home site and read my stuff.
I could have guessed you might write back and indicate that Cat's conversion was a long time coming. I think you stopped short of this though - though you tried to imply it and have your cake and eat it too.
11xzxzxz 1 year ago
@Extertainment I could not find any information even indicating that Cat was "not anti-Islamic". He probably wasn't .. I was just wondering where you found that Cat was not anti-Islamic. Reading books is not enough evidence, but I will let you slide if that is your info. I am not a fan of Cat except for maybe 10 songs so maybe you know more than me. On this song, the melody is weak to me and piano is weaker ..I would have advised more "heavy notes" and more pounding.. ha.
11xzxzxz 1 year ago
@Extertainment CONT ad infinitum. I apologize for my sarcasm but I felt you started the fight in a strong sense. You and no one else could be expected to know what set me off (more than usually very mature person I am . haha): it was your remark "You have the internet at your fingerprints buddy, use it". We first the internet is not reliable, I don't care if you see something 4 times. Second I have no fingers (haha). Seriously, you were smug and assumed, in a small sense,
11xzxzxz 1 year ago
@Extertainment Thought there is no reason for me to get even a little mad, I did because I do use the internet way-too-much-man and it often sucks. And I had used it before I wrote my initial remarks. And your remark was smart-alecky (not that mine aren't as I can see myself as others do and Please don't make me look again - ha). So I let you slide there because this emperor is usually half-dressed himself. Take care and beware of non sequiturs. Good luck and I will be stalking you. Joke!
11xzxzxz 1 year ago
@Extertainment Yeah I know Buddhist concepts but you are so serious or seriously lacking in humor and the "pain (you cause) is enough to make a shy, bald Buddhist reflect and plan a mass-murder" . Now before you tell me again about Buddhism just learn a lesson from before - this time my words in quote are lyrics from a Smith's song.
