Cat Stevens - Where Do The Children Play

[laulie10]

omg its sooo beautiful!!! love it :D

[piper696969]

Beautiful song. Beautiful version. It's more true now than in '71.

[maclovindotca]

Where do the children play ??? In Ontario Canada the children are caged in rolled on roads over fresh green grass (the playground), there is no soccer, football, or "hard" balls allowed, no peanut products, and only "organized fun". Where do the children play ?? Are they allowed to play ??

[Charlzeee]

Heard this dude wanks heaps

[steeplepossum39]

What a beautiful song and Cat's question is a good question because their is an answer to every question ,so where do the children play well unless you can get your kids to Disneyland they always have eachother.Well done Cat!

[zappadead13]

Sorry Cat we've not come a long way...

[piper696969]

The voice and face of an angel.

[grady876876]

What a gift that he as given us, to make such a powerful honest statement. His legacy of creativity, grace and art should guide us all.

[loveablemeggy]

god hes so good live

[marker011]

Beautiful version of a beautiful song.

[feuerwassergeist]

This songs are so true and fly`s in everybody`s heart ...

[laurel614]

He is a wonderful soul.:)

[lieselottevanneste1]

NEVER EVER Been that strong Never ever Survived This way Never ever Hold my breath But they took You away Never ever Will i go To talk to strangers Who don t think Never ever Will i talk again If it leeds to misary Never ever Will i give up Because he Is in my heart And she dances All night long RESPECT

[Charlytrippo]

I wish people would consider an answer to this question once in a while...

It`s sad how there`s so little room for children nowadays.

They`re seen as a nuisance instead of the result of love between a man and woman...

[peacetrain60]

Luv this song. It takes me back to a gentle era.

[gringo406]

the first time i heard this song was when i saw shortys skate video

[Deep8VomitEmoKiss]

@gringo406 fuck yeah! :D memories for 13 fuckin years...

[marshaj65]

love him and his music

[ppatriot2003]

I shared this on facebook today , for the people of Norway.

[TheCusano]

Hate all of the 7 thumbs down... Do you want to be an ass?

[ohrofax]

wohin ist diese gibson J 200  die cat stevens damals gespielt hat hingekommen wer hat sie jetzt, ein musiker, oder ein sammler od. einer der sie spielt ? jetzt als jusuf hat er eine neue die aber nicht so einen prägnanten ton hat wie seine gibson von 1969

[davidcravena]

As true as it was over many years. Who doesn't worry about the rate of tech progress. As an ordinary guy from Glasgow Scotland I do wonder where do the children play? Not allowed anymore. Fkn sad!

[ianwilson2007]

he's stoned off his ass!

[karen220485]

the most purest music ever

[HVYMETL]

technology - and it goes on and on, and it seems you just can't get off.

what incredible lyrics.

[frankfriedrice86]

ahhh... i keep bouncing around from video to video, and no one comments on the lyrics or the music.. everyone loves to judge people... fuck! just listen to the words, who cares who says them... don't they hit your heart in some way? if not, stop judging and please listen...

[Mesalonika]

I do not think he is turn into a terrorist.. how could he ? listen to the lyrics!!! Damn chenney bush condi rice!! hope your bloody oil money will last...How bloody oil can turn humanity...Condi Bush Chenney & palin can....Oh well I"ll be nice.

[kenedal1]

As valid now as when I first heard it stoned in abar in Amsterdam in 1971. Whats religion the curse of this planet got to do with it?

[the47monkeys]

the bass is sick!

[IrisMG]

Unbelievable. 40 years ago! I was ten. Cat was probably only 23. We've both aged.

[TheCuteDogAP]

Simply? I admire him

[Treehuggerapryl]

Love Cat

[BraniusBalki]

Hey enough with the religious garbage.... i mean, I heard jesus was christian, but I forgave him, and then he spoke to me and said 'I have been misunderstood' and I can understand that.... the rest of you can get (comment deleted).

[Chrissib1989]

Cat Stevens is Cat Stevens and will always be Cat Stevens! Great music!

[T0mmmmi]

how five people dislike this i dont know

[jt20042]

Love this song. Cat is a living legend!

[ManRealThe]

Great poetry accompanied by a matching greater music..

[giordi1982]

fantastic

[breezinbyu]

Classic, and so beautiful...Thank you Bart Griggs.

[BARTGRIGGS]

Thank you!

[ginaelisa]

I used to listen to his music all the time. I would play his albums over and over. as a young teenager I loved to listen to lyrics that actually meant something! Beautiful.

[spiritedsunny]

Such an amazing song! This is what you call music!! It's awesome how he can sing live and not have his voice modified and synthesized. That's legendary talent for you! To all you people making racists comments about him ... get over it ... why are you even here? I'm not here to critise or comment on his beliefs I am here to listen to his amazing songs and voice. At the end of the day that's all I focus on. The music!

[pablitoneus]

me gusta mucho

[emmanuelles7]

his voice is soooo hot ! makes my heart warm just to listen to him

[skaterocknroll]

sounds great..

[NYC10107]

One of my fave songs.

Just beautiful.

It fit "Harold & Maude" so well.

[pianoman9494]

No Wonder I loved Harold and Maude SO Much

[Universalight77]

Live on the CAT & still sounding awesome. Ive missed his voice.

[TheHeavensGate]

*Nen Klos im Halse hab* Ich liebe dieses Lied , es weckt schöne Erinnerungen. *Trage dich in meinem Herzen* :-) ....

[barbh1]

One of his best, I think. Such a sweet song.

[TheHeavensGate]

:´-)..bald geht's dir gut ....

Peace!

[devineboo]

just an idea...but you might want to check your facts before you speak and make a fool of yourself and promote intolerance simultaneously

[LatikaThe1]

???

What do you mean??

[justagrrlinny]

Ahhhh, simply amazing.

[norizaliah]

Great song, great voice!

[Marker0051]

Since 1971 and its still sounds good

[JIMMIESURFS]

Quite nice. Mellow and enjoyable for sure.

[Illusionary22]

One of the best artists ever, along with Roy Wood, :)

[Muminator]

PEACE!

[RockStyling]

There are too many idiots of you. The man is o.k!

[davidinfo13]

nice song

[Dommind4u]

shut up with ur racism just listen 2 the beautiful music =]

[antz1916]

@Dommind4u Islam is a religion, not a race.

[Blathanna123]

If you wanna know where the children play, check out the council estates in Ireland!! lol, you can't keep them in, hard to know what to do!!

[wasay5]

he looks like he was a really nice person.

[xxKaoruLoverxx]

Oh, I'm sure he was^^

[obdaddy]

is, not was

[willatno2]

what did he see that we dont now! Is this the price of progress or do we let our children fall! What a vision he had and this is why he chose to deny us his talent for so long while he found some peace in his heart. If we could just love as Yousef does then we will have peace

[meshal15]

correction>>not yousef but yusuf.

and thank you man, realy nice comment.

[pulsar7shine]

It's sad that people have gotten reduced to every action based on politics and religious beliefs. Just enjoy the music. Maaaan!

[salemrush]

Great guitar play, eh?

[paulomaya]

this place is to discuss Cat Stevens's music..

[SplinterCell49]

Man i used to listen to Cat a lot when i was a kid

[xxKaoruLoverxx]

Me to^^ I still listen to him, 'cuz he's so relaxing* when he sings.

* I don't know how to write it... ^^'

[obdaddy]

Burp, you're clearly a moron.

[drgodburp]

Muhammad was a pedophile. Islam is disgusting.

[drgodburp]

Well worth the money, as long as muslims are slaughtered, it's a good thing !

[madebutante]

You poor sick person. Hope you stay behind bars where society is safe from you.

[madebutante]

God in heaven please help these people to stop arguing about who YOU are and may they know YOUR love in their hearts. amen..may they stop killing people who are different and stop hating them... and stop being bad citizens and get informed as responsible citizens of the u.s. (if applicable). good news is democracynow dottt org but most of all may they know YOU and know whether YOU want them to be brownshirts or not...I hope YOU say NO

[obdaddy]

Holy Shit (or Holier-than-thou shit). Are all christians responsible for Oklahoma City? Abortion Clinic bombings? George Bush? All jews responsible for Isreal's policies toward Palestinians? He's a frickin' singer/songwriter responsible for nothing other than these beautiful songs. Get a life, zealots.

[drgodburp]

Cat took too much acid and fried his brain .

[muslimskillusall]

hope your proud of your religion CAT !!

[muslimskillusall]

Children play in the old school yard with bombs as that's how Islam teaches them. im sick of reading this on the news so fuck of muslims go to hell you cunts.

[drgodburp]

Where Do The Children Play ? Too bad prophet Muhammad let the children play instead marring them. ie Aisha

[madebutante]

what?

[madebutante]

Terrorism has risen 95% since 9/11..will post reference in following post here soon.

[dobergirl7]

I love cat Stevens

[lktide]

Uma realidade na época, que hoje a maioria são

trancafiados em uma tela de lcd virtual. Aristides

[Wilbardack]

he's great, he represented a whole human generation. 5/5 :)

[brian1025m]

how could any 1 who wrote a song called ....peace train ....be a terrorist....it dont make sense....and i dont believe it cat stevens ....or ...yusuf islam as he is now known has to be 1 of the greatest humantarians of our time ...any 1 who thinks hes terrorists is confused and should reexamine there thoughts

[rokker007]

Brian - Yusuf TALKS peace, but he donated cash to HAMAS, he performed for Al Qaida fundraisers, and he supported IRANs "fatwa" to kill Rushdie.

Actions speak louder than words.

[brian1025m]

wow ...u did some homewoek didnt ya ...well u have your opinion i have mine ....and i refuse to believe he's a terrorist....and if thats true what you say about the fundraiser he performed at ...my qustion is....did he know thats what theese people were all about ?...about terrorism?....i doubt it

[gokukakarot77]

monesv,shut the fuck up with u bull shit!!!he ant a terriost u bitch ass mutha fucker!!so u keep u shit to urself fuckin ass breath!

[batchcookies]

i love this more every time i hear it

[batchcookies]

this is magical

[janishoon]

Love this song...

[monesv]

A reply of an average person: He's an amazing singer and song-writer. Possibly one of the best artists of his time.

A reply from an average American: He's an islamic terrorist with an explosive belt!! Stop him, now!

[AtGiza]

lol

[joaopalotti]

This is the reason an average American is a stupid and America will perish...

[obdaddy]

Burp is one moron, America is a big country and only a fool would judge 300mil by the rantings of one moron. We are not 'a stupid', and we're a long way from 'perishing'.

[deweypug]

joaopalotti: America and the world for that matter will indeed all perish at some point as the sun has but a finite time-line. However, if we all adopt the philosophies that Cat sung about (LOVE and respect for others ideals) we can live in peace until that day comes.

[lorenrb]

love this song.

[louisiana1003]

this cat was and is a legend in his own time....and we just heard his beautiful music!

thanks cat for sharing your gift of songs ...thanks for this posting!

[skilski2003]

His best song! Great artist, great songwriter. He believes in himself. My grandma loved him:) Just sitting here remembering when I saw him at SMU. Just as good in concert as on a recording.

[ravensdreams]

30 years or so later, the children don't play anymore unless plugged into an entertainment machine. Cat was prophetic ahead of his time, too bad the baby boomers didn't listen closer and continued to create the mess we all MUST clean up. Its not even safe for the children to play outdoors.

[pakieire]

The city just sprayed poison over our whole city for cankerworms. Where do MY children play?? Preach it, Cat.

[Elvisdogg]

My friend was badmouthing Cat Stevens recently; had him confused with Neil Diamond. Took me a while to explain why Cat is different and so much better.

[somambo]

Sweet as...

[mother2many]

Love,love,love this song and Cat Stevens. What a visonary. Thanks for the post.

[bjbjbjbjbj]

islam is evil

cat is wicked

[z8it]

"islam is evil

cat is wicked"

And you're stupid,

... so? It takes all kinds to make a world.

[zacharywild]

he's wicked amazing

[BARTGRIGGS]

Cat Stevens the performer is what this video is about. The deal with Islam and such has nothing to do with this. No religious beliefs are perfect, you must use your own mind and creativity. Religion is a guidance not a law in which to punish and hate. Rock on my brothers and sistas from around the world...

[listen2radiohead]

thank you

[MFCLord]

yes, thats it! nice song

[pakieire]

agreed!

[walkerchild69]

well said my friend ! . . respect .

[molipaul]

An amazing voice through the ages.

[DeepPurpleHazedrix]

That song gives me the creeps.

His voice saddens my heart and makes everything warm around it at the same time.

Greets from Germany to you. :)

[bopeak47]

One of the most beautifull songs in this entire world!!!

[2ebird101]

Yay i love this song. We had to sing this song back in primary and just today i heard it and it reminded me of those days and i remembered how much i like this song.

[bobblowbob]

all of his music is great to listen to when your feelin shitty or havin a bad day. his voice is very soothing to the mind. there should be more music like this today

[holly1995]

so true!!

[apollosgirl]

Try listening to Iron and Wine.  I suggest the songs "Naked as we Came", "Lions Mane", "Sunset Soon Forgotten", "Boy With a Coin". I hope you check them out and enjoy them.

[doomstrike37]

no matter what religion, this guy is a true musician, i LOVE this song!

[RedKruzer]

My favorite CS song.

He made me feel like a child when I first heard it.

[marzichan]

love!

[maddma]

He was one of the best singer/sonwriter of his, my generation. I still love the guy no matter what religion he believes in. This music will live forever.

[brian1025m]

i coudldnt agree with you maddma ....i just got a response from rocker007...saying he supoorts terrorism....do you beliee he's a terrorist ?...i certanly dont .....ge has his faith he chose to follow ....some muslims actions dont represent all muslims ....im sure there are muslims who dont agree with other muslims ....its a touchy subject ...but like you ...i think he's fantastic

[peterhamilrules]

cat stevens is amazing and should be loved by all

-Peace

[SplinterCell45]

i love this song

[Alenephoenix]

This is the most forceful and emotional performance I've seen Cat do. Yusuf, you still are the best songweaver!

[utubethingy8]

:-)

[scorpy0]

This man makes magic ! ! !

If only he'd stayed on the path to writing and singing.... I can't help but think of all we've missed. :o(

[pepsi66]

I have the entire concert in DVD :)

[maddma]

what is the name of it?

[robcobb]

This is great shit man...

[me7478]

its the opposite of todays superficiality in the music business, i wish i was born then..

[ludditte]

great singer, simpler times, can you believe the

u.s. stopped him from coming to the states?

[costantinos]

Great one!

[Tommy7222]

I love this song! Thank you for posting it at youtube^^ :-)

[n1temairdr1fter]

[brucer20]
