Cat Stevens- If you want to sing out

[silverhourstarlight]

twelve people won't allow themselves to be free.

[ownly0ne]

if you want to dislike, dislike.

[RyDawg084]

This song is everything I wanna Be...

[iownztahouse]

[cassl14]

Not to mention, gorge. Lol.

[generaltodd2]

What year was this written?

[Sp33dyBeanz]

@generaltodd2 1970 or 1971

[SilverRain2079]

beautiful song

[TheTaron88]

It would have been great if everybody in the world could sing out when they wanted to, but sadly not everybody can.

[Horaciow14]

This should be the international anthem.

[johnhamilton08]

@nyyNYR2094 never do you. 

[oldschool90z]

If I'd know to play the guitar, I would play this song all day long, every morning on a beach.

[soccergirl00Eligirl]

12 people don't sing out when they want too

[TheMastadouw]

12 people arent all they can be

[blackbettywhoa]

ahhaaaaaaaaaa its easyyy AHHhaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[dudeeee76]

i love this man,he is such a sunshine bringer :X

[outdoorseldo]

the vid has got some spirit

[mavicuci]

oh god I love this song!!! <3<3<3<3

[laurelh8]

@alden2244 This is so funny. Is this, like, hyper irony or something? It's so absurd that it must be a joke.

[heshottheman]

Love this song, so simple and beautiful.

[yellowdello]

what a dated video! but what a gorgeous song!

[SnipingF0rFun]

<3

[TheHoops24]

he seems nice

[omfugger]

the 10 people are part of the US goverment.

[aurielMoon]

first time i heard this song was from harold and maude. instant fan!

[OneDayWeAreFree]

@aurielMoon same here. I love Harold and Maude ^_^ Such an adorable love story

[chocolovesme]

Who the hell would 'dislike' this song?!!! Like!!!!

[CharlesFungiMuffin]

just shut the fuck up and listen to the music... like right now my dipshit friend is behind playing guitar and he wont fucking stop and i cant enjoy this amazing music

[thetotalowner]

Looks like a sexual predator when he plays his little guitar by the kids on the play ground

[joeycooley]

@thetotalowner well thats not the point you sick fuc*

[xPandaBoi12]

Charlie Bartlett <3

[SachaTheEvilOne]

is this the official video? i see part's from father and son and bannaple gas

[DallasHammster]

@SachaTheEvilOne This was the official hash-up done by the Island / A&M folks to promote the release of Footsteps In The Dark: Greatest Hits Volume II in 1984, the first time this song ever appeared on record. It contains excerpts from "Father And Son", "Bannaple Gas", and "Remember The Days Of The Old School Yard", probably the only Cat Stevens promotional music videos ever made.

[kittyprydekissme]

@DallasHammster Well, if this was from 1984, I guess it was the video I saw years ago. (I think I saw it in '85.) I only saw it once, and my memory isn't that clear, so I didn't think this was it, because I only remembered the shots of the kids. But this was probably the one I saw.

[whosyermama82]

this song is so wonderful and simple and perfect :)

[misterbillylicious]

he was great back then I was about 13

[inesplainwhitetees]

Charlie Bartlett love

[FendersRule]

Harold and Maude!

[Traceyneverin1]

@FendersRule Oh yes. *Cos there are a million things to be. And as Maude says 'Else you've got nothing to talk about in the locker room!'

[Big12189]

Great song about being yourself. Not too much music like this anymore.

Also, I got misty eyed listening to this.

[xclaimed]

Music at it's purest form. Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam is one of the best artists we have ever heard. There is none of that auto-tuning. There is actual instruments. Everyone of his songs have direct meanings in everyones lives, even to this day!

[GOCHICAGOWHITESOX]

perfect video... doesnt talk about drugs, killin people, or anything bad

[barterobe]

Good raw sound. Nice video.

[gatz75]

perfect thank you yusef

[zakwyldenmyhead]

Man I love Cat Stevens! I was super jazzed when I heard his songs in my favorite movie Harold and Maude....

[rockstarrr12344]

i agree with johnhamilton08! hes a fantastic example of a person!

[teall909090]

Thanks for sharing a great video!

[ladivina20f8]

That jumpsuit is SO HOT! and a great song too hahah :)

[WeLikeToast15]

This song like is just saying to be whoever you want to be I love this song. :)

[121881cm]

million  way to go :)

[Algorithm16]

A classmate of mine sang this for graduation. It was really beautiful.

[TheBlackenedWHITE]

this song is so underrated, i don't care if anyone disagrees. these lyrics are amazing and incredibly honest.

[SachaTheEvilOne]

did you make the vid?

[generaltodd2]

does any1 know when this video was made? if i had to guess i would say around 1974-ish

[KE5RHD]

Imagine him coming to popularity in our high school days. His music made great road mixes, on 8-track that is.

[DuneDingDong]

Soyons libres... On oublie trop souvent de l'être :) Heureusement, la musique est la pour nous le rappeler!

[fayrechick]

such a wonderful song

[ashlovesgeneva4]

<3 this song, havent even heard of it till t-mobile commercial then loved it so catchy! so deep!

[MissPandora1967]

thanks for posting ,just put this in my favs,,I loved this song as a young girl....I feel too blue for words..I needed this song today,thanks ;). lovely vid too..thanks x

[tiexiongjipwnz]

@MissPandora1967 Sorry for your sadness hope you feel better.

[MissPandora1967]

@tiexiongjipwnz thankyou,you are a sweetheart x

[miguelangel2811995]

harold and maude

[peacemtn]

Great video

[chefchefd]

is cat still banned from comming over to the states.

[poodlegirl4848]

@chefchefd I think I saw him on the Colbert Report awhile back so I would assume he lives in U.S., if all else fails Google.

[Elena7121]

Oh gosh. What a happy and inspirational song. :)

[Sindylol]

This song makes me want to dance, cry, laugh, love and live.

[hotnotboy10]

very good song

[slb24828]

1o idiots gave it a bad rating. such ignorant people. i think Cat was hansom in this video.

[grobby1]

this is the perfect song to play during war time

[csc9950]

mytouch commercial :O

[bobbiejo9000]

Sing it Cat! WTG

[ayanoofdapapz]

nicely..:)

[annalynk0]

i love the message of tolerance and freedom.

[kimdenise200]

I am me and I love this song. Makes me not care what people think of me. May I say, it is a little liberating.

[lenarrateurdupourquo]

yusuf islam is a good example of purity...and Mr bunnyheadgame don't speak about something that you ignore because yusuf islam konws what islam is ..and right persons always find the right way

[bunnyheadgame]

I love Cat Stevens music, but as to his personal life. Its not perfect. His change to muslim is a good example of that. Love the music not the musician.

[dmyankees24]

@bunnyheadgame

how is converting to islam a bad thing?

[1alphasam]

@dmyankees24 well theres nothing wrong with muslims, but when he smelted down all his golden records thats what was wrong (but he did have a valid reason)

[thefilmerguy]

@bunnyheadgame what the hell? there's nothing wrong with being muslim. its amazing that people are still so intolerant of one another.

[Cheekytriangle]

@bunnyheadgame Right, because converting to Islam totally defeats the message of tolerance that this song preaches.

Sound logic.

[TheChaplinLover]

: )

[fletchermunsonify]

i love you!!

[helenfuckinkeller]

Cat Stevens is amazing. his music is so inspiring and has so much meaning to it. i wish there were more people in the world like him

[GreenAmmoBear]

I love this song hate the vid tho

hippie music i think

[OutsideGalaxy]

I love this! But the video always make me think of Reading Rainbow.

[buddle1587]

THHHAAANK YOUUU!!!!!!!!!!!

[OLTLjunkie]

The ultimate feel good song ...... : )

[funkynigge]

Such a beautiful song and video. It emanate such a happiness and satisfaction. Let me feel happy. :)

Awesome :)

[cronshi]

if you want to live high , live high :)

[jamba461]

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies-Harold and Maude. Both the song and the movie have such beautiful messages. Cat Stevens makes me happy.

[theroadsmusicvideos]

cat stevens rocks love this man equal to dylan

[Aru899]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME...I love it too much!! And the lyrics...well I can only say: AWESOME!!!

"And if you find a new way...you can do it today!!!"(L)(L)(L)

[Ir0npikMIN]

My song of choice.

[chris94677]

its just that song from that commercial for I phone whith google

[jsmyfakeemail]

and one of the most famous acoustic rock songs ever... but yeah, i guess besides that you are correct...

[mim0oo]

the montage is pretty good

[johnhamilton08]

Cat Steves aka Yusef Islam is a perfect example of a kind human being.

[grassynole84]

HAROLD AND MAUDE

[jojojames1995]

[saberjeff]

Cat stevens is a great musician love all his songs.

[meeks1216]

[harrypalms1112]

Cat stevens is a major influence for me both musically and idealogically. I understand this man. I definitely do not agree with islam, sharia law. Women are the future of this world.

[Amineooo]

well women have no rights. so your wrong.

MALE DOMINANCE FTW

[tryss]

if you wanna live high, live high

LOL!

[Chaotic841]

VV HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[greeshMSL]

I like the video mostly because I can only fantasize about dancing around with a guitar amongst balloons that match my shirt and hat color. Also I enjoy the whole PBS effect of it. Anyway, thanks Yusuf

[jose68672]

[1alphasam]

[MrCooLIsCool1]

[umweltterrorist]

[ppeaces]

[violetroxz]

awesome song!! it makes my day!

[awsomechic247]

i LUV THIS SONG but wut year wuz it made in cuzz daang it looks old lol

[LegitSongs]

1971 my friend. Long before my time.

[bryanpb983]

I kinda like the song better than the video given to it...

[RockMusicLover73]

The song from the T-Mobile commercial.

This should've been a hit!

It's really catchy.

[ncm1965]

Seek out the dvd "harold & maud" - v old now but it explains the song - sort of

[jaknife5436]

funny, cause it was...

[ChauklitFawndoo]

@RockMusicLover73 it was a hit, just not a mega hit

[RockMusicLover73]

Oh. My bad.

[bigwoc5]

this song is catchy heard it from t mobile my touch

[JCliffFan]

AWESOME video! Thanks for posting this!

Harold and Maude is one of my all time favorite movies and can't help but think of the ending when I hear this song..Thanks.

[sailorsuga]

[lauraken]

"Harold and Maude!" :)

[fayrechick]

My all time favorite song

[templedh]

good song, but what a creepy video haha. whyis he hanging out with so many kids?

[lauraken]

I do not think that it is creepy at all...children are our future...if we teach them right, and instill goodness in their minds, like "Teach a child today to be kind to animals..." etc...we will have a better world to live in...sometimes the adults are to far gone to get a point across, so it has to start with the children..., and that is what this video is about...:)

[paintballer123123123]

yea but didnt cat stevens donate like all of his money to some like muslim crazy group or something?

[lauraken]

I really do not know...I am just into his music, his voice, and the great messages through his music...yea!

[trptsrule]

GOT EM!:D

[lauraken]

Thank you! I know...yea! :)

[trptsrule]

haha anytime:D

[cakostrato]

Why it has to be "crazy" only for being muslim?

[JEDIKNIGHT011]

kimberly is a bitch!!!

[pennywise804]
