  • What a great conposer.His voice full of passion and meaning.Best of all

  • I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY VIDEOS OF THIS SONG AT THIS PLACE AND TIME.IT WOULD REALLY BE FANTASTIC. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THIS IS THE BEST INTERPRETATION THAT CAT STEVENS HAS PERFORMED THE SONG, THE VOICE,ENERGY AND EMOTION OF HIS VOICE EVOCATES THE FEELING OF A YOUNG MAN,A FEELING THAT AS TIME GOES BY CANNOT BE REPRODUCED AS WE AGE. cONGRATULATIONS YOU MUST BE A VERY SENSITIVE PERSON

  • His voice is totally angelic. Such beauty and grace...

    He's amazing. <3

    

  • Ive just broke down in tears.... this is the song of my life. every single word of the lyrics fits it...................

  • If Jesus created everything, he created Cat Stevens looking at a mirror...

  • How can I tell you That I love you That I love you And I can't think of right words to say I long to tell you That I'm always thinking of you I'm always thinking of you But my words just blow away Just blow away It always adds up to one thing, honey And I can't think of right words to say

  • it's real. so much is plastic soul- gaga, britney, just plastic tabloid mess.

  • beautiful song

  • best singing cat in the world, greetings from paradise sri lanka

  • My favorite Cat Steven's song...

  • The lyrics on this are just beautiful, and he has such a wonderful voice, full of emotion, to bring the words out. I remember when I was a little kid in the early Seventies all the older girls were in love with Cat :)

  • This song has literally been a part of me since I was a young teen. Beautiful. The pictures are amazing. As he looks into the camera it feels like he looks directly through you. Like looking @ a picture of Gurumayi...

  • one of the best singers and writers ever

  • So beautiful song, goosebumps.

  • THESE SONGS HOLD SO MUCH ,THEY HELPED , WHEN I WAS LOST ,THEY MADE ME STRONG WHEN I WAS WEAK THESES ARE MY MEMORIES,THAT I WILL ALWAYS CARRY EVERY PLACE I GO THEY HAD A LASTING IMPRESSION ON ME

  • TEA FOR THE TILLERMAN/  LOVE HIM BROUGHT SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES

  • Yousuf Islam is the very best songwriter, for me!

  • @friedensmomo which of his songs touch you more than his work as cat stevens? As it seems that there is a hairtrigger that is being set to trigger if cat stevens is used, let me say I'm only attempting to find out what he's written since he became a muslim that compares with the work that we all love so much, so I know what to look for.

  • very nice song, excellent, i remembered those sweet old days. . .

  • What a beautiful songwriter. We could use some of his magic now.

  • General Cordswainer just put out a cover of this song. It's like a mix between Cat Power and Mazzy Star. Very sexy & a bit smoother than the Cat Stevens version. Totally recommended for your first dance at your wedding if you're a fan of Indie/Folk/Acoustic Rock.

  • @IndieMusicCritic82 yea I'll buy that thought!....shall proceed!...cos hearts can do no more......bless

  • tears in my eyes.Beautiful,excelent,powerf­ul.No more words this man is a great great great singer and songwriter.

  • This song "haunts" me, and reminds me of the love I have for "that" special one.

  • When I was young ( 40 yers ago) I love this song and play it to my honey...It was great time , still love this song.

  • @Tapsu100 Young / and old lovers alike will be playing this song for their loves 100 yrs from now!

  • @code2high I agree! Timeless beauty, for sure!

  • Just BEAUTIFUL! =]

  • Que c'est beau C: etet pour te répondre, ne change rien, tu le fais si parfaitement, ne change rien du tout <'3 Chaque mot d'amour venant de tes lèvres est pour moi, une véritable extase, la clé du bohneur et du paradis ♥

    and changed it to Yusuf Islam...he has done some really great

    children's songs under this name

  • I have the all Cat Stevens' original albums on LP - been to all his concerts in the 70s. Still love him and his music. :o)

  • This was originally released on "Teaser and the Firecat." You can buy the CD pretty much anywhere. It's one of my favorite albums. Rubylove is also on there.

  • The man was a genius; I was in love with him for years.

  • parese o john frusciante !!!

  • I love you too!!

  • An all time favourite!!! Love Cat..Thanks!

  • From time to time we need to cry or listen to some songs that make us feel great inside our caring hearts! So, this song is an a good example of that! here is a song that I put in my channel ......a very touching song ....... that will make you all CRY from the bottom of your hearts. This song is called "FATHER ANS SON". I really sang it with all my crying veins inside my caring heart.NOW listen to it with your heart.

    P/s: Do not forget to tell me your opinion about my voice!!

  • i was going to write a complimentary comment but i cant think of the right words to say !

  • @ginger1551 Well said :)

  • @ginger1551 I see what you did there.... ;)

  • Tune!!

  • I only wish. that where ever this mam is, he,s happy, because the thoughts that evoked this song, must have been so sad.

  • wow *_*

  • Who would not fall in love with the poet?

  • He is fantastic, the best ever . How he sounded from 3:09 to 3:18 , It is the most beautiful part of any song I have ever listened to......

  • @midgedanny1 Totally agree

  • so beutiful song, one of the worlds greatest artists ever!

  • Pls, listen the spanish version by compañia ilimitada... Como decirte cuanto te amo...

    In Cat's voice it would sound amazing in spanish

  • @dobieco1986 La versión original en español no es de Compañía Ilimitada, sino de otro grupo bogotano, el más importante de la década del 70: Génesis, ellos hicieron este tema y su traducción casi contemporáneos con la canción original de Cat Stevens.

  • I really think this is Cat Stevens best song it is so beautiful.....

  • i love this wonderful good man

  • Simply and great !

  • Phwoarrrr!!

  • my god, this is one of the saddest songs i've ever heard!! love cat stevens!

  • Thank You!!!

    Alexa.

    XxX

  • Isnt it funny to hear Cat saying that he doesnt know the right words to say I guess even him got involve with someone so especial~~~!!!!!!

  • bobby kenny this one is for you x

  • Awesome. Thanks for posting this. Cat is a legend....PEACE.

  • cool...

  • Stunning...  He is a dream!

  • where are you CAT .A GREAT LOVE SONG.

  • Just amazing - and this liveversion is even better than the album version. His best song

  • Kick ass voice, kick ass song, kick ass hair, kick ass guy. I love him to the death!

  • @MostlyExistent Very Pleased to hear that! Because many people might not like him anymore because he is a very nice Muslim. You know the stereotypical views of many.

  • @mrahman377 yeah, that is absolutely ridiculous how ppl still judge music by looks or creed, gender etc.. it is what it is and Cat has always been one of my ear's heart-throbs and he always will be. M favorite is trouble, but all his stuff is fantastic-o !!

  • This is a very good song, I really LOVE It !!!

    Mange The Sweet Swede.....

  • Cats Stevens is so amazing and powerful. He wrote such beautiful moving music. He is so passionate. Not to mention, he is so HOT!

  • Maravillosa cancion.Magica interpretacion.Lagrimas en mis ojos al escuchar un cantante tan talentuoso cantar con tanta emocion.Pura genialidad.Este hombre es un angel sobre tierra.

  • demasiado perfect! y debe ser maravilloso remontarse en pasados años....

  • Sencillamente maravillosa canción que me trae hermosos recuerdos de juventud.

    Ahora pasados los 50 me sigue emocionando

    escuchar al ídolo de mi adolescencia con esa

    voz y esa música tan bella y esa letra tan dulce.

    Gracias . . .

    Nicky

  • Son tantos recuerdos...mi adolescencia caminó de la mano de la música de Cat Stevens despues que nos lo descubriera nuestro amigo desaparecido. Gracias socialisto75.

    Merry Christmas Elaine. I think of you every day.

    Please forgive me.

    Jimmy

  • A very beautiful song, I can remember my youth

    listening it. I loved Cat Stevens because his music is very sweet and the lirycs are wonderful.

    Niceto.

  • Liz Durrett cover of this song was absolutly horrible! It's starts off with something with her howling into the microphone, "Howl Can I tell you"! Terrible cover to a beautiful song!

  • liz Durrett - How Can I Tell You,much better version

  • beautiful song

  • Just love his songs as Cat Stevens or Yusef.....he has magic words always :)

  • @katiefk8y cat sounds better

  • Do you know what I love about this particular recording of this song? It is so tender! He sounds like he's in your living room playing it (well except for the instrumental part where a couple of others join in, but that can easily be ignored by a true romantic!) I absolutely LOVE this recording! Thank you for posting it! How can I get it for my own? (pardon my ignorance of computers)

  • thats SO lovely........georgous.

  • As a Christian I still enjoy Cats songs...they go beyond..........what a visionary.

  • Aha, my mom loves Cat Stevens. I love the cover of this song by Cat Power. I also, of course, love this version too!

  • How lucky is his wife?

    Imagine waking up every morning

    to this angel

    Jealous much????

    Meooooow !!! I am

    Oh well god bless

    Yusuf aka cat is

    simply awesome

  • O.K. it is great

  • to bumblebeemoi,

    songs are whatever the listener feels in the heart, like a painting , art ,poetry, what one takes away from is what it is.

    I have listened to this song since it came out. It still makes me feel the same way which is not what you describe.

    perhaps in other words, how do you know his love did not pass on?

  • well, u might be right...but consider this..a song is an expression of the creator not only feeling but also his/her experience. u cannot fake it.

  • Great song and great lyrics. Dedicated to some one whom I am unable to express my love . To D . Wish you will be happy always.

  • beautiful work... spiritual man...then and now.... thanks for the memories

  • CICILIATO BRASIL...Você representa toda uma geração...venha ao Brasil...somos milhões que te adoram...não só sua música...sua posição politíca e religiosa.....professor CICILIATO LONDRINA GEOGRAFIA....

  • i love waking up to this song every morning. cat stevens aka yusuf islam

    is like no other being on earth.

    his music is for all.

    his words are so moving and true that it hurts.

  • Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam for LIFE!

  • my favourite cat song thanks for sharing

  • Reminds me that a man can love. I had forgot.

    Also reminds me of my brothers, both of whom I loved, lost and miss very much.

    Beautiful & emotional.

  • What a beautiful soul

  • He is majic i'll always love him

  • pure truth.

  • I heard this today at a funeral, the music itself tells a story of who, why and what a person is about and why we love them so dearly, listen to the words and they will remind you of someone special and close to your heart.

    love to all. R.I.P Martian, God Bless x.

  • "Joe" I don't wish to minimize your sentiment, beautifully expressed, BUT, if you listen to the words (write them down), you find this is a song about a person's idealized love for SOMEONE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER MET...YET. The loved one is not there, he can't find her..why? She has not entered into his life yet. So, HOW can he tell her that he loves her? he can't yet.

    Again, I appreciate your feelings, but the song has nothing to do with not being able to express words to a real love.

  • The words.. so often must be left unsaid. pain is only released upon understanding

  • Been a lifelong fan and it sounds better every year.

  • beautiful interpretation, much better than the version on the album

  • very , very nice song of a chant, a seranade. even saying the words I LOVE YOU is very hard nowadays...

  • Love this song love him,my sun (hehe not cat Stevens )

  • Wie schön! Ich würde das so gern meinem Liebsten "mitten" ins Herz singen. Einfach klasse! Ich liebe dieses Lied.

  • Carly Simon states on her website that "I wrote Anticipation for Steve and he wrote Sweet Scarlett for me". Also she says that How Can I Tell You is her favorite of all his songs.

  • Most correct KatAshley2!

  • beautiful song **

  • ♥

  • this cat and yusuf now is inside The realm of rhymes and harmony called music.....and inside there he is a cat with wings like a bird........clean, kinda makes us sad but...Cool Down, thers perfect setting for this and Paradise, there u will SURELY FIND THE RIGHT WORDS....

  • wow, your comments are a bit poetic and true

  • still love you and miss my Suzie, so much. Always there sister - just not here. Great song just for you Suzie - Snooky Xx

  • Was the theme tune to the fist love of my life.....i love this song but on the flip side it is the most deppressing song ever..

    Ode to Beth.

  • This makes me think of my sister-in-law who is battling bowel cancer...............xx

  • i love this song so romantic makes me think of my lost love i am still looking for bring tears to my eyes

  • Love is such an amazing thing not only when you love someone but love itself, its true,pure, heartfelt love and its no coincedence that love is represented by the thing that keeps you alive...the heart

  • john frusciante made a live-cover of this song ... i ♥ it :)

  • Beautiful! He is a genius.

  • I remembered when my dad first made mi listened to cast stevens from tha day on i've only been falling deeper and deeper in love with the song, the lyrics and meanings.. Now i listen to this song, which i havent heard in years.. and i look back and realized how wonderful love is.. even when it doesnt work out the way you want it to be, love is wonderful anyways. And i listen to it now.. and its an Universal theme (what the lyrics say in this song)everyone passes though this times i realize im <3

  • i will always love you my love linda . forever yours ra.

  • everytime i here this song it reminds me of my someone i really love. she doesnt even know that i love her hehe until now i cant tell her but im not shy. its just compicated

  • just tell her!

  • if it's complicated, it's only because you make it complicated for your self. Love is simple... but it's powerful... it's love that makes your words stutter and your knees weak! And when you tell it to your loved one.. its the only way to show it, otherwise.. its only the words. Make it happen and believe that you are not alone.. call me crazy, but I believe that the universe is always our BigBrother, and makes every wish happen! just.. let it happen.. good luck!

  • What a great love song. It reminds me of someone I really want, I really miss, I really care. "Wherever I am, girl, Im always walking with you, Im always walking with you, but I look and youre not there". Whoever Im with, Im always, always talking to you, Im always talking to you, and Im sad that you cant hear, sad that you cant hear"

  • THIS IS 4 -U STEVE PAN

  • This Song Captures Another Dimension of Feelings...

  • hermosa cancion!!!.. dios amo esta cancion..

  • I love the pic at 3:13!

  • C'est le tune qui a décrit le mieux ce que je sentais au moment où tu es partie. Magnifique tune je pense. De le ré-entendre après tant d'années, jaurais pas pensé que ça aurais le même effet. Bordel..20 ans. Si le vent souffle vers l'Ouest..cest encore how i feel about you

  • I saw him in concert when I was 20 and he was 26,but his music seems to make time stand still.I think he's the only celebrity that I can truly say I love.Peace Yusuf...

  • Yusuf's good friend and former producer Paul Samwell-Smith stated in the Cat Stevens box set that he thinks this was his best song.I agree,I've never heard a more beautiful love ballad.

  • I dedicate this one to my daughter, Lindsay Elise Dunbar. She is a BEAUTIFUL young woman and his such wonderful taste in music. She loves Yusuf Islam (CAT!). Runs in the family!

  • always such heartfelt music...thank you for sharing this

  • about the only one who never sold out

  • beautiful song it hit my heart

  • some songs just get it right, they express in song the feeling to perfection, this is one of those song... loving someone that 's not there, loving in the sweetest purest way but not having the words...

    perfection Cat.

  • JULY 21TH ...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAT!!!

  • You give me this song in 70ths Geraldine still wounder were you are, Big hugg to you. I´ll still got Cat,

  • I am missing Cat again.

  • me rompe el corazon, ojala la chica a la que amo alguna ves me escuchara.

    "i´m sad that you can´t hear"
