[portinaribe]

Thank you for posting this for us...

[ripnboard]

@cakelover33 you post a song like this, Peace train, and you post sarcastic asshole comments on it. You shouldnt have the right to upload this music, you terrible person.

[cakelover33]

@ripnboard oh now we have a person who thinks he knows me, and p.s i dont have the right to uipload thats why its blocked in some countries, now stop pretending you give a shit what i do and do all of youtube a favor and shit the fuck up you hypocrite

[naakrd]

@ripnboard @ripnboard

Must the first two comments on a lovely song be so vulgar and horrible?

Both of you stop wasting you're time being mean to each other and listen to the song!

[spyguy13849]

@lenahc1987 : It IS the Mercedes symbol.......next time try Googling before you add something. A Peace Symbol continues the vertical line all the way the to edge of the circle.

[crazymama1955]

[youlikeityesyoudo]

nice mercedes symbol there at the end

[cakelover33]

@youlikeityesyoudo FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I WILL END YOU YOU PUNK ASS PEICE OF DRIED JIZZ

[TheManInTheForest]

@cakelover33 y be a hypocrite???? is the sign not about peace? if it is then y fight with someone at ignorant as him?

[SuperClintEastwood]

@cakelover33 that certainly was the mature reaction. Especially from the guy who posted a video with the lyrics to Peace Train.

[cakelover33]

@SuperClintEastwood Well i am a very mature man

[ReadQuranAlways]

@cakelover33 lol

[Pinkspiderable]

@cakelover33 WOOOOOWO CHILL PILL.

[Pinkspiderable]

Respond to this video...  lOVE IS ALL WE NEED..

[lenahc1987]

@youlikeityesyoudo Dear one, it is not the mercedes symbol, it is the PEACE sign from the '60s,the height of the Viet Nam war. The same era that Cat Stevens and his awesome music won our hearts.

[kern0099]

The world as one minus ten percent since we're queers. Oh well, I could walk around giving a shit about what some breeder middlebrow does with his considerable mediocrity. It could be worse.

[riff1984riff1984]

me love this song long time

[naicheervan96]

Peace sign at the end cheered me up. This song reminds me of the movie el dorado. one of my favs

[Pumablues2525]

It's a shame Cat Stevens doesn't follow this song anymore. It's a shame how religion can corrupt good men.

[shrivel1]

@Pumablues2525 I was under the impression that this is one of the few songs of his that he sings now with no alterations.

[GEldridge1]

@Pumablues2525 Yusuf Islam is still a very peaceful man and Islam is a very peaceful religion, contrary to what people have twisted it into.

[Yellowjjacket]

@GEldridge1 Uh--Huh, and you've been down the rabbit hole?

[GEldridge1]

@Yellowjjacket Have you read the Qu'ran? I mean all the way through, not just skimmed through it.

[Yellowjjacket]

@GEldridge1 I don't have to stick my hand in a campfire, to learn I'll get burned.

[Omnomnious]

@GEldridge1 yaay a person who isnt ignorant! i love it when i find people like you

[GEldridge1]

@Omnomnious Ignorance and hate is taught and is not a natural feeling. People hate on others because they're parents, media or other sources told them to. I have learned to think for myself and not follow what other people think.

[hermionegranger79]

Oh Lord, Allah, Goddess, leave him/her alone about the Mercedez symbol at the end. The fact of the matter is, this person's intentions in the peace symbol (or Benz symbol, call it what you will, because nothing will change the minds of the thick skulled) were obviously peaceful and displayed with those intententions. And if you're listening to Cat Stevens, why do you judge? Isn't he supposed to be like, all time least judgemental man next to Jesus Christ? o_o Be nice.

[MrHomie9000]

@hermionegranger79 bro that was a peace symbol

[hermionegranger79]

@MrHomie9000 Yeah, I know it's a peace symbol, lol. I only called it a Mercedez symbol so the ones who didn't know would know what I was talking about :)

[MrHomie9000]

@MarqueeQueen you didnt even comment towards him... fail on your part lolz

[cakelover33]

@MarqueeQueen haters gonna hate, you just dont appreciate my rock star attitude.

[YoungLivThe]

@MarqueeQueen yeah, it's not the "Mercede train"

[cakelover33]

@MarqueeQueen HEY!.....i tried my best ok...

[glen1ster]

XEcoCookieX--I referred to common stances of the source material, and

Cat's a common conservative Muslim. 1. He voted against UK schools teaching homosexuality is acceptable. 2. Asked, "joke" aside, if he'd want a hostile fatwa for Salman Rushdie, he said he'd defer to the leader of the country he's in. A liberal would call it murder and not want murder any time.

[kschott60]

Every time i hear this i think of remember the titans.. my favorite movie ever

[sayedkhalideshaq]

I've been listening to this everyday since I first heard it 3 months ago. Love it

[Angleton04]

I have a copy of my old Tea for the Tillerman album framed. I look at it every time I seat in front of my mac. Such joyous memories of Cat, his music, and friends.

He and I have traveled different roads but the music keeps us connected. Thanks Yusuf Islam!

[YokaiGamer]

Amazing song.



[marthalogioco]

ME ENCANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this song

[michael822212]

i can't stand how these videos become platforms for idiots to argue with each other on topics like belief or whatever. Just enjoy the music :D

[michelleadel]

Great Man Great Lyrics!

[Bzamm615]

A beautiful song... a nice idea... but an unrealistic one...

[Rashb3lb0i]

1msg to all those bitches who are behavin' like religious scholars and puttin' whteva the shit they want.... ! While Cat Stevens/ Yousaf Islam is singin' ths beautiful song abt Peace you fuckin' idiotic ppl are still fightin' like cats and dogs .... if you cann't learn a lesson frm a short song like ths so how could you be able to discuss upon religions and Holy books.... now just STFU....stupid morons. ....!

[Thadesgal]

@Rashb3lb0i I hear ya. Even cats and dogs can get along!! ;o )

[Rashb3lb0i]

@Thadesgal you are aboslutely rite but in some cases when one of them is wild it becomes danger to the other one ...lol i'm nt an expert in english so i just tried to calm down the situation by using these simple words of my granny :P

[Thadesgal]

@Rashb3lb0i Amen, Brother. Wisdom of the elders has never led us astray. Peace be with you. :o )

[aiu7125]

It is good music, I do not look at his politics, as it is music.

[cakelover33]

THIS IS NOT SOME RELIGIOUS/POLITICAL DEBATE FORUM THING.

[glen1ster]

salmalalita: I'm not Islamophobic--branding all Muslims as terrorists. Only

upward of 10% (upward of 1/40 of the pop. of the world) of Muslims approve of

terrorism. 80-90% are Orthodox Sunni, and 10-20% are Shia, mainly conservative. A small percent are liberal, but considering the Qur'an to be good for faith but have errors (similar to liberal Judaism/liberal Christianity) is not considered Islamic and may incur a fatwa. Wikipedia

[glen1ster]

salmalalita: The justification for Muhammad having "apostates" killed is supposed to be that the writing of the Quran was a miracle. In it, Muhammad called homosexuality abomination/crime, etc. Hadiths prescribe death--4-6,000 executed since '79 in Iran alone. Some dissent and use beating or jail. A small minority leave punishment to the afterlife. A tiny minority have edited the material to remove condemnation--most Muslims don't consider them Islamic--some were issued a fatwa.Wikipedia

[aiu7125]

Do you remember when he was taken off a plane in Portland, Maine as he is on U.S. terror watch list or was at one point?

[cakelover33]

@aiu7125 I read it was a mix up because he looked like another guy named yusulf islam

[belfairhaines]

@cakelover33 Cat Stevens is Yusuf Islam, he changed his name in 1977 after he converted to Islam.

[cakelover33]

@belfairhaines no shit, isnt that was i just said.

[belfairhaines]

@cakelover33 sorry about that chief somehow i miiscostrued what you said in your comment

what i thought you said was (cat stephens vs. yusuf islam) when you were actually saying (yusuf islam 1 vs yusuf Islam 2

[DyNaMiiKex]

@cakelover33 no, that is definitely not what you just said... you said he looked like another guy named Yusuf Islam. He looked like Yusuf, because he IS Yusuf.

[vumagal96]

heard this in remember the titans <3

[glen1ster]

cakelover33: Google "Cat Stevens backs UK anti-gay clause." As long as the

"Peace Train" is bigoted (hopefully not as sadistic about it as Muhammad), the song is talk the talk but not walk the walk. It's better to use another conveyance.

[glen1ster]

[glen1ster]

Secular--a small percent of animals/people are born homosexual. But it's defined as a crime in the Qur'an, the most popular related hadiths prescribe

death, the 2nd most popular--beating and jail. None can prove there's a God,

it's a faith in a God beyond the proven things, so nobody should be hurt or killed over it. The Qur'an calls for death for outspoken unrepentant critics (apostates) yet got homosexuality and where sperm is created wrong = no God's prerogative. Muhammad = bigoted murder.

[cakelover33]

@glen1ster what the hell does this video have to do with any of the shit you just posted lol

[ellencalvo]

@cakelover33 It all has to do with the fact that Cat Stevens is now Islamic.

Stupid shit, I know.

[salmalalita]

@glen1ster son of a bicth shut the fuck up. DO NOT TALK ABOUT A RELIGION YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. ISLAM IS APEACEFUL RELIGION, BEAUTIFUL AND SIMPLE. Just b/c some idiots try to tarnish it doesnt mean that you should talk about it that way.

[XEcoCookieX]

@glen1ster A lot of muslims don't understand their own religion nowadays, and because of that, the ideas that they've wrongly interpretted spread and "Islam" is represented by these people. You may say that a lot of muslims are wrong about things, and i agree, but what they believe isn't what islam actually is about.

[Mogli2nd2none]

@glen1ster that's why a muslim is singing about peace.

[GlonRobCouleeDam]

It is not for us to judge a man's religious beliefs.  That is the fundamental possession of each of us. His music was and is fabulous. His passion and commitment to his life and music warms my soul.

[ilovepoopooalot]

i listen to this song when i get sad it helps me feel better

[ilovepoopooalot]

true song i wish the world was like this song like cat stevens said

[MrHeloo123]

is this from when he was muslim?

[cakelover33]

@MrHeloo123 i may be wrong but i believe it was from the album tea for the tillerman.

[mark6715b]

@MrHeloo123 No. This was made when they had allot of songs about peace. He recently converted.

[EvadneFelosial]

@mark6715b Uh, he converted in 1977.

[HigherWaysWoman]

@EvadneFelosial it goes to show you that even some intelligent ppl can be fooled. Muslim/Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. I allowed to view this religion from a "neutral" standing. When I would NOT convert...they sent a curse & Jinns to cause me harm. There might be ppl who are peaceful, but until the Good People of islam ruless this religion, I will consider ISLAM TO BE A VERY EVIL RELIGION...!

[kawong15]

man , this song is make my spirit return , ^^

[Oachkatzl123]

yusuf islam or cat stevens... we love that song ;) ( i'm not very good in english... ^^)

[Dreampolice96]

oldies are the best ;)

[naicheervan96]

reminds me of movie el dorado

[naicheervan96]

don't know if anyones seen it but this song reminds me of the movie spirit stallion of the cimarron. my favourite movie when i was 6 and still is

[TristanH90]

Haha, mercedes symbol is the opposite of world peace and harmony!

[jessiethomas722]

there must be 3 people wo hate the idea of world peace!

[TheSparkle7]

I wanna catch and hop on the peace train(i will probably dodge paying the fair rite enuff)

[Mrzanetti100]

thumps up if u came here after u watched the movie We are Marshalls. ^_^

btw it's an awsome movie :)

[Hootshot112]

@Mrzanetti100 and also Remember the titans!!

[miss09lauren]

heard this in Remember the Titans :)

[RELATEDXXX]

Where is MOHAMMAD ALI ????

[TheConman6921]

Nice mercedes sign smarty.

[cakelover33]

@TheConman6921 well if you where trying to be funny then hahahaha if you where trying to be mean then fuck off be-otch

[sh7th3ad]

@TheConman6921 I had an extremely long argument with my friend about the way a peace sign should be drawn. He was saying things like "Dude, 2 lines, how many fingers do you hold up for a peace sign?"

Then i had to get all technical about the sophomoric letters N and D, and how the original peace sign didnt even have a circle around it. Few know that Nuclear Disarmament and V-for-Victory are the origins of the Peace symbol, and Peace sign.

[ihasrockets]

@TheConman6921 c'mon man! can't we all just get along? ;)

[SlimTwisted]

I've loved this song for years and must say that having the lyrics laid out so clearly like this brings a new dimension of depth to the message. Nice post!

[cakelover33]

@SlimTwisted Why thank you, if you have a request i will make a better lyric video.

[erinstefany]

@cakelover33 yeah could you?

[miss1ss1pp1]

love this song

[RNSShepard]

Come on people,believe! Peace through music!

[BIJMOZ]

my younger brother who's 16 years old has to listen to this for his media class and all of a sudden he's moved on to bob dylan and joan baez. i'm very proud :P

[cakelover33]

@BIJMOZ Sweet!

[deerhunter63301]

I thought it was funny that he denounced his citizenship, left the country then tried to reenter the country and was denied entry, I liked him till he denounced his citizenship. Go over to another country and stay there if you don't like it here Fag!

[gcdailey317]

To: TheUmmsahnun Respectfully and with knowledge of Yusf Islam, the song is about humanity and the potential for interaction. It was NOT intended for any specific religion.

[TheUmmsahnun]

The Peace Train Cat was referring to is none other than the religion of Islam

[mlrockrules]

@TheUmmsahnun He came out with this song several years before his conversion.

[astromono1994]

sigh have to listen to this for school -.-

[cakelover33]

@astromono1994 lucky duck

[spiderfox70]

@astromono1994 wats rong with that?

[astromono1994]

@spiderfox70 iunno this is just not my type of music but i do respect it. But its still better then a lot of todays music.

[thomasmudd1976]

@astromono1994 you have a good teacher.

[astromono1994]

@thomasmudd1976 yeah she is good though she never did end up marking the assignment lol

[bimpo9]

@astromono1994 And whats wrong with that this song is good



[gummybears4keely]

i grew up this kinda stuff...and now...i can appreicate that music today is crap and that its a privilege to be able to know and hear this stuff....i feel sorry for all my friends at skool who have no clue about this stuff....like ill play it on my ipod or like ill wear a shirt sporting there name and no one nos.....ever! i cant beleive how some people can never hear this stuff......i guess im lucky...!

[cakelover33]

@gummybears4keely which is why i posted this vid. in my school only 1 person has heard the name. but does not know much more.....

[spiderfox70]

@gummybears4keely im only 16 n i get ya

[IbrahimT13]

@gummybears4keely probably shouldn't take this out on you, but i hate when people distinguish current and old songs as bad and good. music's eternal, its all still music, it doesn't make music like this better than digital music like now. i listen to all music, from ridiculously current songs, rap music, piano music, this music, and even classical music. that doesn't make me a listener of crap. i just dont discriminate between genres

to be frank, just listen to the music and dont discriminate

[TheDaleDenton]

always heard it when my dad played it. he's been gone now comin on 5 years.when i heard it in Remeber the Titans(havn't watched it in a while) had to search it up. 15 years old and only ahndful of my friend like and even know this music. the music that actually means something.God love football.hahahah

[westvafan18]

I liked this song until I found out it was by a muslim..

[CheckMate657879]

Timeless classic!!! Folks in this country (U.S.) need to ride the peace train right now - seems with all that we've gone through the past 60 years, we're more at odds than ever.

[tENpUPPETS]

really awesome song

[KOLN555]

what's with the mercedes advert at the end?

[cakelover33]

@KOLN555 idk youtube musta put it there

[KOLN555]

@cakelover33 what youtube just slapped a 30 second red and blue mercedes logo at the end of your video?

[cakelover33]

@cakelover33 yea its not a very good one tho..tisk tisk tisk youtube needs to get better artist

[SpiralsHappen]

George Ohsawa discovered what it would take for us all to live on one peaceful planet. Unfortunately and or fortunately it is both difficult and easy for man to accomplish. And this is why the world is always in a state of perfection within all of its imperfection.

[Sophieheartspotter]

@ta331311 I love you too!!

[needles1987]

It's hard to believe that Cat Stevens and Yusuf Islam is the same person.

[cakelover33]

@needles1987 ikr

[blondeoverseaswithiq]

@needles1987 Why?

[davidedgin]

Really enjoyable !

[cakelover33]

@davidedgin Thank you :)

[clfitzdawgs]

the peace sign was messed up haha

[salanfann]

Personally, a ride on the peace train might be preferred to glide.

[BabyGirlGoddess]

i heard this song before but i didnt know he sung it!

you learn something new everyday

[lopezheavy]

Incomplete Peace sign, good video though.

[sriabu]

I wonder why these american idol contestants don't use his songs.. !! just a thought!

[LadyB1282]

cat stevens did not become an extremist. he converted to muslim b/c the core of muslim beliefs are based on being peaceful people. every religion has it's extremists which gives the whole group a bad name. yusuf islam f/k/a cat stevens has not changed his peaceful and loving nature, he simply adapted to the basics of a religion which supported those beliefs.

[goblue1128]

@LadyB1282 Cat stevens only joined Iran extreme leaders for the the deayh of Salman Rushdie,right that is perfectly normal

[prophet154]

@LadyB1282 you know as a teenager when Cat was doing his thing,i couldnt work why he did the 'religion'..thing,have to say I dont think anyone had the 'perspective' in those days to even know what Islam is and was.......so from me to you....thanks..that solves that 'mystery'.....all the albums I had of his were superb songwriting and ballard performing skills.....the greeks know how to sing from the heart.......bless

[TeganAoC]

@LadyB1282 Yusuf Islam called for Salman Rushdie's assassination. Yeah, he had good PR over the past 10 years, but he has shown his real face, even if people, much like yourself, choose to ignore it.

[mlrockrules]

@TeganAoC That's exactly what I've been saying! He also refused to condemn al-Qaeda for 9/11.

[M45t3rChI3F]

@LadyB1282 You need to read into islam a little more, from your post it is evident you know very little of their religion.

[EvadneFelosial]

@LadyB1282 I am muslim and it's good to find people that see things as they are meant to be. Thank you.

[Sophieheartspotter]

I'm on the peace train, join me! L.O.V.E

[rokker007]

Yes, it's hypocritical, that Cat agreed with Iran's offering $1 million to kill Mr. Rushdie, , , , but it's ON FILM , , , , so there is no denying Cat said it.  It's sad, actually.

[cmouswen]

Always loved this song ...from when I was a kid...I think the message is good and inspiring to us as a whole to treat each other with kindness and love as the Lord commanded...

[Zeldafreakism]

I finally got those lyrics!!! TNX!!!

[Piggillett97]

amazing!!! mom loves it!:)<3

[celloer1717]

@greyboxapps you're welcome! i really love this song itmakes me so happy :D and the peace sign just made it amazing!! XD

[greyboxapps]

@celloer1717 Why you are much nicer than that one person who posted "thats not a real peace song" :D he is a great musician.

[celloer1717]

@greyboxapps im not sure :) hes just a musician that isnt in it for the fame but the messages he sends to his fans, so if he doesnt get it then he doesnt get it, but i do think it sends peace :D

[celloer1717]

thats the cutest peace sign ive ever seen!! :D

[greyboxapps]

@celloer1717 why thank you :)

i drew it myself ;)

[Deadlikeme16]

That trian passed by my neighborhood without stoping!!!

[xKazimirx]

my math teacher hates me because i like cat stevens, but its probably just cause he's a beatles man

[VMKgirl200]

luv this song

[seanedward13]

He has been a seeker throughout his life.

When Cat Stevens wrote this song, he had already begun his journey to Islam. Even this song he talks about a train that brings peace, and he invites people to join the peace train.

When he wrote this song, he was in a train, and his pursuit of attaining peace (Islam) was in his mind.

His life has just been like his music.......a great inspiration!!!

[xtranormalANIMATOR]

cat stevens become an extremest you guys know, it completely contradicts this song lol

[The0bviousTruth]

@ xtranormalANIMATOR

Just because he converted to Islam does not mean that Cat Stevens became an extremest. And by no stretch of the imagination does it mean that he contradicts this song. He can be Muslim and love peace.

[cakelover33]

he speaks out against extremest, and the muslim extremest are not real muslims they follow jihad or something like that,its like catholic and methodist,they are basicly the same but there are some major differences
