  • I love the message in the man and the song.

    More than 40 years later.... here we are at war... still.

    Ready to take up arms.... again!

    For What???

  • you can hear that his voice has lost power, but it still his song............

  • The next Noble Peace Prize should be shared this man

    AND some other guy who is...

    "Ronning like Hell with Foreign Paulicy PEACE Principauls."

    Any suggestions?

  • The look on his face is one of true belief, in his faith and the message of the song...God Bless you Yusuf!

  • I love this song best ever

  • Thousands of times better than any cover.

  • A MILLION people cannot be wrong. What an incredible man and song!

  • Place and magic

  • 4:01 - 4:15

    The whole chord progression, chorus, drums, everything have a strange powerful energy. beautiful.

  • @mistersony84 Its kind of like the wall of sound, many instruments all at the same time doing different things. It sounds great and I think it might have something about confusing your brain which makes it have an odd energy about it.

  • a song to bridge the gap

  • I'm really pround of him. From A fan in South Thailand.

  • Fabuloso tema años 70

  • How can people even dislike this? It's a great song!

  • Esta es la cancio que mas me gusta de el....simplemente maravillosa.

  • Yes,thank you Yusuf for the invite,i take all my friends and we travel with you on the peace train,and we help all together to ride it,it is like the song"michael row the boat ashore" brother help to trim the sail.All we friends in every country spread our hope,that we can all help together.Every man every women can do a little bit from his (her heart) to support it.

  • Maybe all the goventments of the worl should listen and take note of the message in this song. It still has the same message now as it did way back when he first relesed it. Who cares what religion he is, we are all one being so we can and should learn from these words sung by a very wise man.

  • @smeedog69 You are so right,thank you.

  • At age 70 I've always enjoyed this song. The earlier versions were a litter harder and this version softer. I've become to like the softer version better. It is a song more people should embrace.  Peace is tough, but war is tougher.

  • bring peace to the world for your real song...beautiful,full of wonders...

  • This always meant so much to me, moved me and stiil does. Gives me hope...

  • This guy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize:)

  • Peace be upon this one :)

  • Cat's music was always about love and peace. His music always brought joy to my life. Thanks for the memories.

  • i love this song my friends he cry if he heard this music, this is the song they sing on the way back home after the war,

  • i've just lost it , my number is 1000004 , i wished it was 1000000 omg . i love u cat more than all these numbers .

  • One of my all time favorite artists. I am so very impressed with the wonderful things he has done in his life for so many people! Bravo! His passion with his music can easily be seen in his performances. He is a very wonderful example of how we should all live. Inspiring.

  • beautiful.

  • What a wonderful world this would be if universal love, peace & understanding dwelt in the hearts of all -- truly & sincerely!!! If we all lived it, with love for all of our brothers & sisters (& I believe we all are, regardless of race, religion or any other possible differences), this world would be a perfect place! Thank you!

    For some reason, I don't seem to get the little "I like it" & "I don't like it" icons with this video. I want to say that I wholeheartedly like it!!!

  • All these years and I had no idea he came back to music! What a voice, what a talent! A true, genuine human being. Thank you for coming back Yusuf! I cried when I first heard this, so powerful...

  • Este es el Himno del 15 M de Spain.

  • Peace to all from EGYPT

  • i as a muslim,seeing my brother yusuf islam,comming back to his beatiful music,is his new calling we need him and his music,ISLAM NEED IT,THE WAY HE DOES IT LOVE YA MY BROTHER,MAY ALLH BLESSES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

  • A Gift from God Thank You

  • I just blasted this through my ears, sounded great!

  • world peace need such a great people,,,,,

  • i can't remember now...what brought him back to performing?

  • The world would be a Great place if we all concentrated on Peace and Love for our brothers instead of hate and war. We can't even love our own for fear of what we don't understand or know. That is from ignorance instead of expanding our knowledge through educating ourselves. Carry on your word my friend....

  • 26 may 26 th 2011 in paris. i'll be there !!!

  • He sounds the same if not better in this video. This song brings back memories.

  • peace and love to all from Damascus - Syria

  • maravilhoso!

  • Mais qu'importe la religion, la musique et sa voix sont là pour démontrer combien YUSUF ISLAM est un grand artiste!

    Cette voix est magnifique, son message est beau. Pourquoi aimer ou détester quelqu’un pour sa religion ? EST-CE ON SE POSE LA QUESTION DE SAVOIR QUEL DIEU ADORAIT ELVIS OU JOHN LENNON ? Pourquoi encore stigmatiser les musulmans comme on a pu le faire avec les juifs?

    MONSIEUR YUSUF ISLAM, VOUS ETES UN GRAND ARTISTE! MERCI ENCORE DE CHANTER POUR LE MONDE ENTIER.

  • I'm on board! 

  • Will see him tonight! And I do think his voice is much nicer today.Sounds warmer,closer smoother.

  • Glad to have you back! Come to miami please

  • Hope you, and the band enjoy your new European tour, Yusuf. Have a great time in Sweden, tomorrow. Lucky Stockholm! We are all thinking about Yu!! PEACE, and LOVE, always.xx

  • superb!

  • He sound amazing; beautiful :)

  • WE owe you a debt of gratitude for coming back jusuf

  • I loved this song back in the 70's, now a more mature Yusuf (Cat Stevens) does a beautiful job! Thanks for posting!!

  • Amazing.. :)

  • isn't it awesome: 40 years between. But he is still the same: a musican who connect the people in this world.With his own religion: the music!

    Jewish, Christian, Muslim - green, yellow, black, white, pink or what ever you want of colors: we are living in one world on earth. So let's try to do it in peace, like Cat Stevens / Yusuf Islam is telling us!!

  • @Zedisch One World, One Hut, One Race,One Love!

  • Bob, repressing people brings war, real peace eliminates war, ur a victim of false cause logic fallacy. Just because a war may come after peace, dosent mean the peace caused it, the day dosent cause the night. Both both good and evil exist in equal amounts, we have the choice to act on one of them. One will prevail in the end.

  • super

  • Great man great song

  • Love the song and the video. and Yusuf. Have embedded it on my site greatprotestsongsDOTcom /peace-songs/can you check this is OK with you? If not then leave a comment at the bottom of that page and I will remove. If you do like the site then please leave a comment and LIKE it on FB :-) thanks!

  • I love cat

    Stephens. It

    Takes

    Me

    Back some very fond

    Memories of

    My

    Childhood.:)

  • dreaming about the world as 1

  • I'm just gonna put this out there... Best song ever.

  • I like this song and I want to thank the unloader for uploading it. Yusuf Islam or Cat Stevens is a very good musician. Also the guy Muhammad Yunus has good intentions of helping the poor get out of poverty and I respect him for that.

  • Yousuf Islam, Your the best buddy. As a good human being and Muslim I support you. We all need a peace train to give us peace. Allah bless you.

  • Very good music

    

  • All the man wants is peace,what could be wrong with that,oh and by the way this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded,not a bad contribution to all human kind,I said human kind....

  • "Salam" means (peace) in Arabic

  • It matters not what religion or colour you have. Only one thing matters, and that is what message you bring. Yusuf brings one of peace, and for that I can only admire him.

  • Music is peace... I love it

  • What a beautiful splendid man! May he be preserved and continue to make music that transcends and unifies.

    Salam

    Paul

  • peace from luxembourg

  • beautiful video

  • "Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together - black, white, Chinese, everyone - that's all." - Bob Marley

  • DIOS TE BENDIGA POR ESTA MUSICA MARAVILLOSA GRACIAS

  • Oh I wish he had stood up and added the moves he had in the original one, sure looked like he wanted to, he is aswesome, and yes all countries need to listen and take this song to heart not just the USA but all countries.

  • I long for the day when Cat Stevens performs Peace Train in America at a Presidential inauguration.

  • There a a few people - Beethoven, Van Gogh, Islam/Stevens - whose very lives have become their art. I am not a religious person, but I feel personally blessed because these people lived on this planet.

  • i feel proud became bangladeshi as Dr. Younus who got nobel peace prize....

  • BEAUTIFUL......SO Peaceful :)

  • its just a miracle period to even have Cat Stevens do any concert at all singing these songs, its almost like having Jim Croce back from the dead, or having the Beatles, reformed, its on that order of a miracle

  • Cat of Yusuf is a good man, Nobody could write music like he did if he were not a good person inside. Peace has been his mission from the start.. He gave up what almost nobody would have for his own soul..I am a Christian and I beleive he is a good person, With the internet anyone can destroy a persons reputation but if you think about it you will see the real man not what some people want you to think he is..his music answers the question.

  • @midgedanny1 Believing is one thing; Christian, knowing is a norther !

    Brue

    LOVE

    sorry I can't spell worth a crap!

  • @midgedanny1 Very well said ... I have no doubt in my mind that you spoke of and read many minds.... Thanks

  • World Peace this summer 2011 -

  • @Mrgump1337 Tusen Takk is thank you in Norwegian, tusen tack is in Swedish.

  • A Nobel for Yusuf!!!!!!!

  • What a man!!!

  • YUSUF I love you from my heart

  • Still has the same meaning to me as it did back when I got my lottery number for the draft for the Viet Nam war.

    Glad to see him picking up the guitar again.

    Much needed.

  • In working with the World Peace Forum in Canada, it's clear that this lovely, gentle man can be the bridge between cultures. He wrote this song 40 years ago - when in his early 20s - and it's just as relevant today - and needed even more than it was then. Bless his lovely soul - we are so lucky he decided to perfom once more - so that the current generations will have the opportunity to hear and enjoy and - hopefully - learn from what he's always had to say.

  • Yes, what a great soul, the USA can learn from him.

  • Awesome!

  • What a great human being. The world is a much better place with him in it.

  • this is one moment when US get emotional. huge

  • Peace From California, USA

  • Mexico necesita de ese Tren ....

  • Let love lead the way :-) Thank You Yusuf :-)

  • Right up there with Stuck In the Middle With You

  • His songs have always been songs of peace

  • what a beautiful soul

  • I remember when I first heard about this album through my father. He bought me a copy of it in stores at the wherehouse when it was still open. Man if I could go back through time and remember how it felt to live in the 90s it certainly wouldn't be too hard to live today.:)

  • Real talent never dies......

  • Heart of gold I think. You can't hide the intent of the spirit IMO. Many Blessings Mr Islam. You're a cool cat :)

  • this must be a great moment for yusuf : he sings an hit from his youth and is embracing his past, he also must have recognised some old fans in the public

  • Yusuf Islam makes my heart smile!

  • Yosuf Islam is a really good man. He has many good humanitarian works so he not provide only nice songs but,also many humanitarian works for all the world. "Thank you Yosuf" .

  • I would like to see Matisyahu and Yusuf Islam preform this song together followed by One Day. Peace.

  • @crpaul48

    Me too. Shalom...Salaam.

  • One word; Amazing.

  • Solid and beautiful words, Yusuf!

    Yusuf, may God lead you straight to paradise. You are an honest man.

  • Yusuf Islam ( Cat Stevens ) is a rose, given to everybody on Earth to enjoy.

  • Sometimes you hear a song and say I love this part. LOL I love this song all over the place. You can quote any line and they are all great. This is a great man. He's up there with John Lennon, George Harrison, Bob Marley. God bless him or Allah or both or ONE. Peace.

  • Loveee this song... Amazing!!!

  • I can never get tired of the message...

  • He has not lost a single thing. His delivery is soulful. Have never seen any one do any of his songs as well as he does!!!Just sayin' it's Cyndi

  • Great lyrics... 'out on the edge of darkness there rides the peace train'

  • all politician should listen to this and act like Yusuf!!!

  • When your heart is open and you are ready to fight peacefully for the love and harmony in this world !! so you are a good man !!!

    Finally the life is too much precious and we are not right to waste our time !!!

    god bless you

  • Thank-you YouTube.

  • Wonderful!

  • Personally I believe that this is the best performance for Peace Train. I've listened to this 50 times(It's my favourite song). Great Man, Great Songs.

  • Thank you for this Beautiful Song. Years later, the message is just as relevant today. You make us yearn for a perfect world, a world of Peace for all Humanity. Yusuf Islam and Cat Stevens are a precious eternal jewel for mankind. You are an Amazing Artist and Humanitarian.

  • let's all take the peace train ride.

  • Maybe one day, we will once again remember what an extraordinary and important song this was (and still is) – a song which hopes and calls for peace for ALL mankind ... period.

  • @JLSTaylor doubtful.

  • @JLSTaylor

    TY 4 amazing words. I like this song very much, and hope for mankind peace and love...

  • Absolutely beautiful. Such an amazing song, written by an amazing man ^_^

  • Cat/Yusuf's dedication to peace has involved great personal sacrifice and a huge loss, for many years, to his devoted fans.

  • DAMMMMM.... This vid just brought a tear to this grown mans eye LOL

    Thanks 4 the post ( 10 stars )

    Come on people jump on the PEACE TRAIN :):)

  • You are one of a kind Mr Yusuf AKA Cat Stevens !!!one of a kind GOD bless you and your faith ! :)

  • Love ya, Yusuf, beautiful song!

  • Thank you, Yusef. We still need to hear this.

  • La più bella versione che io abbia mai sentito di questo brano..stupenda.

  • A True Light Bearer..... much love and light to him..... Shine Brightly Yusuf.... :)

  • One of the great emissaries of Islam to the world. It is gratifying that he found a way to reconcile performing music with his faith.

  • Peace, Love, Health and Happiness!

    Exceptional Piece For Peace!

    Yusuf Sings- - Soulful Exultation- Exuberantly!!

  • You can argue about religion, about whether there is a God and about politics. But you can't argue the talent, beauty and many gifts that Cat Stevens has shared with the world. Just say thank you.

  • Since i live there, i remember this concert, it was shown live on TV of course. Cat Stevens which he is known for is a great performer. Tusen takk!

  • This is a beautiful song and i'm glad that this is bein filtered to avoid idiotic remarks about his religion, I believe there is no problem with his religious choice all religion is the same to me aside from athiesm just due to the fact that they don't believe in a higher power but I respect their views and accept it like anybody should towards any religions. Now please someone tell me where can I buy my ticket to the peace train sounds like a great ride!

  • As Salaamu Alaikum brother

  • Ok, All of US

    3,2,1 JUMP ON

    ;O)

    Peace

  • the only drag it it's for the illuminati nobel concert(prize) but still love the poet

  • I love him regardless of being Muslim, Catholic, Protestant or whatever.

    He is a beautiful soul... and sounds as good now as when he first recorded this piece of inspiring, beautiful, well written verse... one of my favorite singers and poets.

    Peace to all

  • why did he change the music?

  • great

  • Yusuf/Cat speaks the truth he is a man of peace

  • Awesome!!!!!!

  • well said. Your life is remarkable and I just cried watching the documentary Cat Stevens transition to Yusuf Islam. Very very courageous. Thanks for your music.

    Ali from Afghanistan

  • Thank you Yusuf, so very beautiful <3

  • I EXCEPTİONALLY HAPPY TODAY BEİNG FELL İN LOVE WİTH YOU TODAY DEFİNİTELY SLİGHTLY DİFFERENT YOU ARE.....

  • I've read a lot about his conversion and his commitment to peace and children. I am very happy he's singing again. Music is a powerful tool to build bridges and we all need bridges between humans.

    Thank you Yusuf Islam. May peace be upon you and yours always.

  • Me neither he played in Perth/Australia on thursday this week on his 1st full on International tour in 33 years{34?}. He sounded like he was 24 and it was like the MAJIKAT concert only better, all the great songs played, so funnny stories from him

    BRILLIANT

  • Bravo!

  • A last peace warrior.

  • He is unbelivabe! He quit playing around 1978 and after 20 year he is back and amazing :)

  • @Thekastiq

    30 years later

  • The U.S.A should listen and learn from this song.

  • @TheWoodbutcher11 I think some of Americans do, its just the sad part is that some of them are insecure and fearful of the world. Which drives them to violence and war, but i think this whole world can learn from this song not just the United States. There are many places which need peace.

  • @TheWoodbutcher11 I grew up in the 60's and 70's as a police officer's daughter. I learned from my Dad that everyone bleeds red & not to judge others. that there are good & bad everywhere. I remember this song being played at home by my mother & older siblings but even at church. It was something that touched my heart & still holds the same message.. Love thy neighbor as yourself.. be at peace with yourself & with your neighbors. My Dad just passed away on 10/29 & he's finally at peace

  • Yusef Islam is looking for the lost peace -al salam-

    I thing that is the wright way from just your part.

    thunk you Youssef Islam

  • I can't even think of a comment that does this justice, just thank you

  • A true inspirational man of peace, a credit to mankind regardless of race, religion or creed.

  • Man oh man, is this guy not the best or what. I've loved this guy since he came around. Holy moly, he sound's just as if not better than he ever was. Your looking at a musical genius and a legend, a true true legend..

  • IMAGINE if Cat Stevens and John Lennon had collaborated on writing music together ? :o

  • Peace and Love to all of y'all from A town <3 Glad there are still good people out there...

  • he is a legend besides mj! spread the peace,,,

  • Peace from Germany
