My interpretation of this song is one of making the decision to leave an extremely emotionally abusive relationship. The verse, 'I have seen you eyes; I can see death disguised hanging on me,' openingly raw. He is one of a kind; rare in the greatness of his talent.
Great song.I first heard this from the movie Harold and Maude and the song has a lot of sense about it.I wish Cat Stevens was still making this music again.
i was just watching a guide to recognising your saints... and heard this song. i was like :O i fking heard this song when i was younger... I NEED TO KNOW THE NAME... "Troubleeeeee, trouble s..." ok its not trouble lmao
@rmarchi0 The things (and sometimes, people) we leave behind, are not necessary anymore.You've had them while they were necessary to your life's path. Having what you once had would be "TROUBLE" now since you don't need them anymore. Rejoice in the fact there is much still coming to you.New and beautiful people, things to use to comfort you and new places.you've never been before.Life is constantly changing.New adventures,new everything! Even you! You wouldn't want to drink stagnant water..Later
@rmarchi0 Happiness, I heard, comes with virtue. When you make an effort to find out what is actually good and evil, I think you'll be on a good path to finding happiness.
i dont listen to music any more as i became more devout in islam, but when influences came from other kids ie having a crush ,getting a bad friend, puberty B.S. ect. I didnt know what to do and still stay in the barriers of my faith, but when i listened to this song 5x times i felt confortable and my faith increased and i stopped all the sketchy things i was doing, Im sure Allah would be fine if music brings me back to my religion
@VenomStryker assalam alykum wow, i wrote that two months ago, shows how unpopular my favourite songs are, when i forget my religion i go back to doing bad things, im always improving my self ahamdulia . but i can understand that frustration, adhiring to a religion should be about wanting to do it for a healthier life, more spiritual than based forcing your self to spend hours and hours in prayer, Muhammad (pbuh) said "an hour of reflection is better than 70 years of worship".
@Sheltonrahman Of course Allah is fine with music bringing you closer to your belief.If you know anything about heaven and God, you'd know there is much rejoicing, song, voices, tambourines, lutes, lyres, flutes, horns, strings. Beautiful music rising to the heavens. Music lifts your soul to rejoice, but, it's your FREE WILL & CHOICE which music does that for you. Enjoy the music, enjoy living and life.Sing from your heart. .Allah loves when we're happy in this life he's given us.. <3 :) Later!
listen to this song after a bad day, and feel like you're situation has happened before and you aren't alone and you can get through it :) best sad song evar
c'est l’éternité musicale , le voyage celeste .................vive cat ! avec 03 ou 04 instruments ses propres paroles , sa voix ...........il te fabrique une pop music de première classe
Hmm as a 40 year old musician myself, I can say that playing for Joe public gets old. So many people take music too seriously and it drives an artist to drink. Sometimes its even life threatening. Its OK when we're 26 to dodge bullets but at 40 I care a lot more. As an artist I just want to chill the fuck out but people wont let me.
people need to Stop being ignorant fools why let few extreamist (of any group muslim, christian, what evers) define the whole? Get over it, who cares about the religion of a person most religions are based upon the same foundation. @tabber87 plenty of people kill others don't blame it on one tiny percentage and then generalize it.
Great song. The photo which refers to him as Yusuf Islam, nee Cat Stevens is wrong, though; he was born (nee) Steven Demetre Georgiou, but changed his name (the first time) to Cat Stevens.
@greatwombat1 - yes a nice song but since we are all correcting others, your use of "nee" is feminine - it should be replaced throughout with "né", the masculine inflection. Elle doit être une chose française, non?
I really don't understand this, Can someone please let me know, why did he turn muslim, all his music when he changed to muslim, is about muslim, and it's really not what good for people who arnt Muslim, help?
In the mid-70s Stevens was already dissatisfied with the life he was living and was bothered by a mounting a feeling that there must me more out there to life. In 1976 he was drowning off the coast of Malibu, California. He says he shouted, “Oh God! If you save me I will work for you.” He says that right afterward a wave appeared and carried him back to shore. A man of his word he auctioned his instruments for charity and began searching for a way to serve God that fit him.
Every man has his faults, no matter what race or religion, 'he who is without sin let him cast the first stone', important thing is to embrace the good when you hear it and see it and give credit where it's due.
@niconilas It doesn't change anything, just an observation. However I'm not going to pick what songs I listen to based on a person's religion. Don't care if you're a Muslim, Christian, athiest, etc. a good song is a good song.
I love this song. He is so passionate with every song he sings. I wish I grew up in the early 70's because i would have loved to see him perform live. I
If you go to Yusuf Islams web page you can read him saying why he has dropped Islam From His Stage Name and that he will not wear islamic clothes or a turban and that he regrets being a conformist to the islamic crowd when he first converted. We are seeing the true Cat Stevens near the end of his life now understand that death threats and islamic fundamentals are anti human and not God he is changing he was great he can be great again
And I like your 'subtle' hint at the Muslim religion being 'evil'
I'm Atheist, but go fuck yourself.
I'm sure you're some fucking WASP douche bag who is completely uninformed about even his own religion.
Yusuf Islam is kind and gentle, as are the basis of Muslim faith. Just because there are a few militant Islamic sects does not make the religion evil. There have been Christians more evil than the evilest Muslims.
@Dalittheuntouchable Well, not sure about other countries, but the Inquisition lasted for 600 years in Portugal and Spain.It was all done in the name of God...Burning people and burning knowledge( very precious and ancient).
Not talking about the Crusades, The European colonizations,etc...
Evil is not in the religion itself, its in the way Men use the words writen by other men and make them as a divine law....
@acuttuca8 In which case nobody has the right to say such offensive words about Islam. It's just as much a peaceful religion as Christianity or Judaism.
Being that Christianity is much larger, it has been open to much more abuse from individuals than Islam or Judaism.

Great movie - and great songs. And here he has one of his most despairing songs while one of his most upbeat and hopeful songs, "If you want to sing out" is paired with it at the end of the movie. The man had range when he was at the top of his game.
He got weird, but the album this was from is among the best of any singer/songwriter. Why Eddie Vedder would ruin something perfect is a crime against nature.

@bscondict muslims are pieces of shit, they hate jews, christians and every other religion, including their own. They have outlandish morals, and are the most pugnacious group of people on this planet.

@ReddFoxx1562 i'd beat yer face off the curb you fuckin useless cunt, i hope you and everything you care about die in slow agony! shut yer fuckin mouth bitch cuz yer opinion ain't shit. ya fuckin fag.
Actually ppl, this song is also in A Guide To Recognizing my Saints with Robert Downey Jr..That movie was so underrated --I totally implore all to see it!
I love Cat Stevens, and I love that he took his light into his best place, which for him, is Islam. For me, it's Buddhism. He didn't let fame and fortune eat him alive. So much life, so much energy in the beginning. amazing that he got to use all of it over many good years.
I love this song and the fact that you put it up here. You should be slaughtered for putting no sound on the last half of the video - it made me rush around checking my system with panic in my heart. Let's fistfight!?!
When you're a kid, I remember really loving going to bed. There was one time where I actually laughed myself to sleep, 'cause I couldn't believe me luck.

Comments about Islam really don't belong here. Just sit back and enjoy this great music for what it is!

@bscondict muslims are pieces of shit, they hate jews, christians and every other religion, including their own. They have outlandish morals, and are the most pugnacious group of people on this planet.

There is so much passion and emotion in Cat Stevens music. He has soul power just like John Lennon.

@mikeyj1993 good to know. It would be funny to sing this song to someone you're dumping though. Trouble, oh trouble, go away.

@SachaTheEvilOne Perhaps they like some of those "new" bands that got no soul or things to say and they can´t enjoy real great music.

I love Cat Stevens, and I love that he took his light into his best place, which for him, is Islam. For me, it's Buddhism. He didn't let fame and fortune eat him alive. So much life, so much energy in the beginning. amazing that he got to use all of it over many good years.
