    Leave your heart open my friend, love will find its way in.

    **Big Hug**

  • My ex- was a Cat Stevens fan.

    I didn't know his music. But, as I a struggling musician, she played me "Wild World".

    When that break at 2:45 hit, I just looked at her.

    "Isn't that great?", she asked. "That was perfect," I nodded.

    That was the night I learned that I need to be a craftsman, not a rebel.

  • skinsssssss

    

  • skins brought me here !

  • dont scroll down if your not into relgious people argueing

  • So beautiful.. It reminds me of my childhood , when I thought that the life was beautiful and perfect..

  • It doesn't matter that Cat wrote this pertaining to a lost love. The words to this song are well worth all young girls listening to right before they venture out on their own. This is a great song. I will always love it and I'm 62. I was there when it first hit the charts and none of us even knew what it was all about, we just plain loved the melody, Cat's voice and the lyrics. HOW very true those words are; even to this day as our world has not gotten better but worse since Cat recorded this.

  • OK: I can see lots of nasty comments and nasty comments are ONLY 'religious ' people. True born again Christians are not to tear anyone down as the world will know us by our love. Remember God loves all mankind, just not sin. Christ came into this world not to condemn the world but that the world be saved through Him:FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. LOVE is what it is all about.I am a Christian knowing bible propheises so nothing taking place stuns me. RE: Mathew chp 24

  • what a loser just because you got depressed you converted to Islam, another fairytale to make yourself feel better.

  • My neices and nephews will always be little chidren to me... even as they are grown and have children of their own.... I think that is what mothers and fathers always struggle with.... it's difficult.... I read my nephews blog in which he talks about sex.... I was like, "You can't talk about sex you are only 4 years old!!!!" Well he is a grown man now.... "Oh, baby, baby it;s a wild world...."

  • Que de précieux souvenirs que cette chanson me rappelle... se fût même si ma mémoire est bonne dans mes 1er "plain" dancé!!!!!

  • @wall2blank2 Islamic Fascist are the most dangerous people alive today. They want to murder Jews and all non-Muslims. Those are the facts if you care to see it as it is. Grow up and get job.

  • Considering that this was written for his ex-girlfriend, this is an extremely condescending song.

    Still very good though.

  • I love this song. Just as good music, I don't understand what anything else has to do with it.

  • Yusuf Islam :D

    

  • My dad passed away last year. While I was growing up, my dad sang this song to me.

  • @MsLoverofTruth

    Maybe he lost a love like I have. God bless your Dad for remembering. Please see past the clouds. I am sure your Dad was a lucky man to share this song with you. I did with my 20 yr old daughter tonight after reading you post. God Bless you and you Dad.

  • @LargeWarior First thing, learn to spell or at least stop being a smart ass. Iraq was about weapons of mass destructon, and Iraq owns it own oil. Libya is one great big mess that will in long run be bad for the West. Egypt will be a mess for the West. In Arab Middle East there are two kinds to leaders...bad and worse. Christ died for your sins, God bless, grow up and get a job.

  • @mrains100ify you dumb fuck, seriously, i'd TRY to persuade you or enlighten you into how closeminded, idiotic, and ignorant you're being about this and many other things you've said on this thread but honestly, you are such a person and you probably wouldn't heed my words either way, but here's one question, did your god EVER say to hate or discriminate against other people? did they EVER truly in black and white terms say that?

  • beautiful song...  i love Cat Stevens

  • Skins, Season 1. The best season

    I really love this song, he makes me remember the girl that made me start to watch Skins... and it causes a feeling of happiness mixed with nostalgia

  • i always play the last few minutes of skins series 1 episode 9 to listen to this :P

  • Oh jee.. this song reminds me of my teacher who died recently.. like.. a day ago >.>

  • i annoy my family everyday singing this song constanly lol

  • @KenzieEsblenin :: i did (: cute isnt it ?<3

  • This is the original, can't be beat

  • Am I the only one who prefer Skins version ?

  • Thumbs up if you heard this on How To Deal.

  • SKINS <3

  • Any man who has ever had to let a daughter/niece/ or any young woman go into the world, can relate to this song... and the pain... for me it was a niece. Now she is married with a beautiful child and this song will speak to her as well... it is generational... and poignant...

  • he sang of a lost love, and before the dance was thru, i sang of a lost love -just like you baby

  • @A1R3D3E7 apparently not, its mediocre, not medicore.....

  • @SOUTHERNCALIliven420 true, then again english isn`t my native language and I would like to see you try to spell finnish

  • So I found out this song is about his daughter recently, and it changes my view of this song completely. I love Cat Stevens!

  • @ItsAlliBear From wikipedia, "Stevens developed a relationship with a young American woman, Patti D'Arbanville, and the two were a pair throughout a period of two years or so. During that time, he wrote several songs about her, including the hit song "Wild World." "

  • @nickstoli Never believe facts from wikipedia, they're always incorrect. That's why you aren't allowed to use the site in highschool or college.

  • @ItsAlliBear Actually they're nearly always correct, because they've got people monitoring changes made, any false information put up without citation are usually taken down within hours.

    What garbage schools are you going to that you can't use wikipedia? I mean you're supposed to cross reference information regardless of the source... Unless they're dismissing all internet sources because anyone can put up anything anywhere, not just wikipedia.

  • @RandomNPC15 Because you can change the information, most of it is false.

    Every school in Arizona, actually.

  • @ItsAlliBear Just because you can change the information doesn't mean most of it is false, that's the most ignorant reasoning I've ever heard, it really comes as no surprise you're talking American schools. As I said they have people who monitor and verify changes.

    It's very often more accurate than physical copies of encyclopedia's for the very fact that it is editable and doesn't have to wait for a new edition to be printed before the false information can be corrected.

  • @ItsAlliBear lol that is why according to research america has the most medicore school system :D we in finland have worlds top education system and we are adviced that wikipedia is a source among others so we should check on multiple sources but wikipedia is reliable.

  • im 18 and i think this is the most epic song ever all music back then was epic and cat stevens and James taylor are my idols and i wunt to thank my pops for showing me his generation of music and i wunt to be able to play music like them both one day cuz i actually started playen the guitar like a year ago so im not really all to good yet but i will some day lol

  • what a nice breakup song...

  • sad, traded a huge tallent for a religion that glorifies the slaying of infidels.

  • @iedhunter44 Why do you think he turned muslim . Because he saw something in islam so please dont start flaming words like this just enjoy the song

  • @iedhunter44 What is sad is you are unable to distinguish religious extremist from a normal Muslim

  • So moving :'( I love this song.

  • it's a wild world girls and boys...

  • Your mum took his advise on taking good care of herself and she took a lot of friend out there behind your dad's back... any way don't put the guilt trip on you and keep listening to it

  • WOW !!! I'm 20, and I love this song! So amazing!!

  • HE'S MY IDOLLLLL!!!!

  • @3mrJam What the fuck are you talking about, you high?

  • nice song.....................

    

  • cool

  • I fell in love with this song as a young teen girl who always felt like running away from home. To this day it is my favorite song, sort of my escape song when I just want to be somewhere else, I play it loud and sing along...forget the religious aspect...just enjoy the music and dance!!!

  • Why the hell is everyone talking about Religion?

  • @WoodLouseFace Hi: I'm 62 years old and oh what amazing music we had in the late 60's and early 70's. The reason you may have been reading a lot of ' religious ' comments is because Cat Stevens was once a true born again believer in Jesus Christ he said,but walked away from HIM.Therefore, many thousands of people that adored Cat were in shock. Even though the days of the HIPPIES had lots of sex, drugs and you name it; he was a lover of Christ being a good testimony to so many young kids.

  • @MsLindaKaren Thank you for explaining this! :) I'm only 17 and this song has only recently become a song I love.

  • Hey man, can't a Muslim like me, or anyone with any religion, listen to good music without any interference?

  • i dont need somebody to tell me a nice bedtime story at night to make me feel impoortant or safe or that i have a purpose because that is all religion is a fucking bedtime story for adults i go my own way i dont need forgiveness from anybody or anything religion is for weak minded fools

  • FUCK RELIGION FUCK ALL RELIGION

  • @fucknuckle100 then you don't have mission in life..ain't we living for sth?

  • yusuf, the best singer.

    islam, the best religion.

    hence the name yusuf islam.

  • think why does the bible predict all of this? because He is all knowing, and you all really know it, right?

  • this song is exactly what i want to say to my girlfriend, now that we broke up

  • I JUST RAPED THE REPLAY BUTTON FROM 12:00 PM TO 6:00PM

  • WTF...THIS IS YOUTUBE...not CHURCH. THIS is a a SONG. not a PRAY. STFU.

  • fuck jews man.i mean fuck the Isael goverment.

  • @streethustla24 Say that to my cousin who is an israeli commando who saw his friend killed when Palestinians were throwing rocks at them while they went in trying to keep the peace. Say it to us, when god said in the tora that israel belongs to the jews...palestinians are invaders...and need to atleast say yes to peace that involves israelites to live there after so many years of haardship and war.

    Think on how selfish you guys are saying "No this land is mine not yours! Scram!"

  • @Rexwar31 tryin to make peace from the victim side is not a good idea. thats like u goin up to a kid that got beaat up by a bully.and tell him to make peace while the bully sits there laughin his ass off. israel govermet is the one that is killin millions of innocent people. and america is the witness and the bystander. shame on them

  • @streethustla24 I wouldnt call Israel Bullies....there is a much deeper conflict in this than you or I could understand man...my cousin is hardly a bully and I think that if palestine could just agree to split the land with Israel or better yet...have the palestinians and israel make peace and band together then I am content...all i want is peace for my fellow jews...peace that we have yet to come by in so long.

  • This is not a sad song, Its about a father's/mother's daughter leaving home.. not about someonces lover leaving.. people are missenterparting this song, sry for my bad english :P...

  • the best song of cat steven

  • I know this is probably about a woman leaving,

    But when i was little, my mother told me it was about his daughter.

    So she pinky promised shed sing it at my wedding.

  • My girlfriend just left me today and for some reason she thinks the grass is greener on the other side. She has overcome her personal demons with substance abuse and spent 2yrs in prison. An d i was still here to help her through lifes rough times when she got home. 9 months had past and she has fell off again. Im so worried for her. So this song is for her today I love you so much baby... Good luck in what life brings to you.

  • i have nothing agaisnt islam, but seriously.... '' Isam is the greatest religion!''

    thats a stupid statement that has led to war, and still is, its ok to have a religion but dont try to shove it down my throat, you think whatever you want, so do i. ( btw im atheist )

  • remember when listening to music was about the music? Heil hitler

  • @allodea Hahahahaha that's funny!

  • Believe in yourself, not some foolish make believe

  • @xXchocolatexX1, no religion is the greatest, all of them are equal. That is the point of a religion.

  • Comment removed

  • My dad dedicated this song to me a few months ago. I swear, I cried.

    I love you dad <33

  • 2 931 like it 28 are doucheBag

  • my beloved forever wherever you are,our child is blessed,love ya always andy x

  • has anybody seen my shirt? its the one with a stain on the back but all i kneed it for is work today.

  • Who cares if he's muslim ! Just sit back and enjoy the music .

  • @rayvictory shame on you

  • deepest song ever created!

  • Any religion is welcome except the Terrorism. Cat Steven is an artist, moreover open your heart when listenning to the love song not in a person. Maybe sometime, somewhere, Cat Steven say some Politics thing but that's just his opinion. Nothing to do with his love song or his religion.

  • @hanlongful

    well said! :)

  • @xXchocolatexX1 Wait wait wait, your fighting others ignorance with your own. I have no problem with a religion, but you don't like it when others down yours, why would we be ok with you downing all others?

  • @xXchocolatexX1 you know something, im fed up with the religious debates what i really want to hear is tht everyone is allowed to be in a religion tht they like if i want to be christian ill be christian if u want to be muslim be muslim and if i dont want to have a religion i wont have a religion ppl forget about the right of choice (and dude this song doesnt have 2 do with religion it is a very sad song which i want to listen without worrying 4 religion)

  • @xXchocolatexX1

    To each his own.

    There's really nothing more to say.

  • @xXchocolatexX1 Religion is just a way to worship a God(s) how and why do you think that it is the ONLY and CORRECT way to WORSHIP. You have no basis, just because your friends and family believe it doesn't make it right or right.

  • @xXchocolatexX1 I have no problem with people being religious, but how can people tell me that their religion is the greatest when another religion tells me the same thing?

  • @xXchocolatexX1 id say stop preaching

  • @xXchocolatexX1 LOVE IS THE GREATEST "RELIGION". IT WILL ALWAYS OVERCOME HATE!!!! Peace,from a Christian.

  • @HeReigns33 I am not any religion (in fact I despise all of them) but I agree, if there were any to believe in LOVE would be the only one. :)

  • @xXchocolatexX1 good going on the ignorance of other religions....

  • @mrains100 im sorry.. but what the FUCK r u talkin about? you should enjoy his music and admire him.. nothing more.. its pathetic how a lot of people immidiately puts the religion in the foreground.. :(

  • @lokju Please grow up, Liberals get so obscene when people dis-agree with them.

  • @mrains100ify look dude.. I totally do understand, that u wont get what im gonna tell you.. but i want to give it a shot.. first im not american.. i live in europe.. so we have absolutely different world views, and what world is like.. secondly.. it has nothing to do with being liberal, democrat, muslim, christian, aso.. its about, douchbags like u r so filled-up with religion and "american thinking", that instead of enjoying good music, u immidiately link polit. n religion topics with it..

  • @lokju Alot of Americans love peace and beautiful music i hope we're not all viewed like this around the world

  • @mrains100 What knd a persn r u (im realy feeling sorry to call u humn)Actualy if u thnk that way u can see christians are more dangerous u did very very dark sht in the past and ur still continue to do them like ıraq . u just went for oil!is there anyone can tell me opposite?And new thing come out libya.u just went there because they were enough to themselves and they were nothing about you and if you tell me u didnt go there maybe u didnt go but start "chaos"

  • Everything my dad has said to me in a song :)

  • my mum and dad played this song on their wedding night, that was twenty five years ago. she was a virgin and it was the song she lost her virginity to. 25 years later she cheated on him, and broke everyone's heart, but most potently broke mine. i still listen to this sometimes and think about them, and it wasnt until recently that i really LISTENED, and realized the song is about the woman leaving, and in a way them playing it on their wedding night was almost like a prophecy, makes me cry

  • @RoyaRox1128 awww, thats pretty sad :/

    hope u can get over it soon, and start listening to some happy songs 'till u do >.>

    try:(im blue) by eiffel 65 :D

  • @RoyaRox1128 Fake. You're gay ~

  • @RoyaRox1128 I think the song is about his daugther leaving home actually...

  • @RoyaRox1128 sry to hear about that

  • @RoyaRox1128 i feel bad for u

  • @RoyaRox1128 -- Wow RoyaRox, so sorry to hear that. Some people just don't give any thought that their actions affect many people, not just themselves. Heartbreaking, indeed. My folks divorced after 25 years too, but not for that reason at least. Awful.

  • @RoyaRox1128 so were you conceived to this song?

  • @RoyaRox1128 true stuff? not that i'm sayin u're liyin but i'm truly sorry for what happened though..stay strong

  • @RoyaRox1128 ew, gross that you know what song your mom lost her virginity to.

  • @knowledgewillevolve

    I think it's sad that you can't think about your mother as a woman. That's what gross. If you would be mature enough you would'nt talk about that this way.

  • @RoyaRox1128 Sort of creepy that you know the song your mother lost her virginity to.

  • @RoyaRox1128 thats touching , and sad , and good of you to share , but thats to much information about ur mum mate

  • Someone I was in love with bought me here <3

  • @lumierecadeaux How much did he pay?

  • @WillBeSubscribing ahhahahahaa shit... :P

  • Never heard of Skins either. But anything that gets a song back in the limelight again..especially for the younger generations... sounds good to me.

  • skins brought me here <3

  • My mother owns the CD with this song on it. Every time I listen to it, I get smacked with nostalgia because I'm reminded of when I was a toddler and we'd sing this song in the car. I really miss those days... Even though I'm only fourteen, I hate how those times have passed. :c

    Great song though. I grew up on it. <3

  • amazing lyrics.

  • Wats Skins? and then again who cares? CAT STEVENS IS AWSOME!!! my dad taught me this song...every word of it when I was 7.
