Cat Stevens - The Wind

[Laura1123xox]

I WROTE A HIT PLAY.... and i'm in love with you

[thelupoistheman1]

Penny Lane! Oh I love her!

[smileimplant]

There's something breathtaking in this song's simplicity. It's just beautiful.

[SuchisLifeIA]

My funeral. Boo Hoo.

[yourmurderer1]

Aww, please don't cry, Sydney.

[stonerminmcjoe]

times like these i wish there was a repeat function on youtube, would save me from clicking play every minute and 43 seconds...

[mishabegni]

the best artist ever .glacd he restarted producing again

[anuenuexx]

Wish this was longer.

[LorenzoNW]

@anuenuexx That's why it's perfect the way it is ;-)

[anuenuexx]

@LorenzoNW Keeps me wanting moooooore.. hahaha

[faith9chang]

Thank you. It's such a beautiful song.

[pbandjsamich4]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, EVER. I can literally feel a little pain leave my body (or is it my soul?) whenever I listen to it. 

[prolong4291]

No , it was dictation when Margaret inspired Max to start the kite society. I forget the Christmas song.

[cnbendel]

i got extra credit in english for naming this song from rushmore

[prolong4291]

@cnbendel When Max and Dirk make up @ Christmas. A++++

[cnbendel]

@prolong4291 haha yes! fantastic film

[OneInAnOcean]

Hello friends!

Cat Stevens is one of my biggest influences, this song in particular is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard!

I'm a musician playing kind of similar music, struggling to get the word out.

If you feel like it, check out a song of mine, called "Live A Little" at my channel.

I could really use some constructive critique.

I hope you don't mind me informing you, cheers! :)

[TheLyna38]

douce et mélodieuse harmonie qui embaune le coeur et l'ame ♥ j'aime ♫

[fuccuco]

OREOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'S­

[TheHamsterFang]

Ive been listening to Cat Stevens since my youngest age with my father, and every time I listen to him, I feel so good :) (Im actually french so.. )

[piper696969]

Has any song had so much meaning? It's like he knew what the future had in store for him. Same with on the road to find out. Did he secretly know?

[123jsbach]

@dylanparker72 lol! never mind! i like the song now! Never spent much time with it till now! ;)

[123jsbach]

@dylanparker72 deleted my last comment because i came out of it looking dafter than usual! have a good day! ;)

[123jsbach]

@dylanparker72 what mistake does he regret i wonder? every difficulty has its merits, and some more than others when the outcome is accomplished. or is that what he was saying? i should leave lyrics alone and focus on the nice tunes; i get myself in an awful paranoid knicker twist!

[DeathinSpades5]

It amazing how an artist who makes beautiful, peaceful, amazing music could be deported out of this country. Its just fucking sad

[prolong4291]

Perfect song. Short and sweet . God Is Good.

[chester57ify]

I had forgotten how lovely this song was

[maggiemaybeauty]

Love this song! Cat Stevens is so fantastic. Sorry replay button.

[hump3]

thanks and all, but the audio quality is really hurting an amazing song. sort it out.

[dbenoit22]

It's a tough world to live in these days, I can understand why people feel so frustrated, that they want to lash out and be heard.......Everybody has a right to their opinion of course. But Cat Steven's ??? He is a peace Broker. I wore out 5 CD's of Cats greatest hits because I listened to them so much. Am grateful that I am now able to download his tunes. I just Love Love the genius of Cat Stevens

[umbycros55]

@dbenoit22 I too am a Christian. I am 57 years and know him and listen to him since I was 18 years. I studied his troubled spiritual journey, he has always been what is now, just had to find his way. Please have respect for him, umbycros55.

[BullsFanatic]

[billbellart]

Been trying trying to work out what happened to Cat for 30 Years, then I realised it was us that had changed, if you want him back be better people then just be better people, forget the concrete and steel and the inevitable outcome of that

[bookworm1218]

@billbellart that doesn't really make any sense

[BML4EBOY]

@tuckrr48 Good Job Keep on saying that !

[malthus101]

Dude..! Way too compressed the audio! Re-upload please! Thanks.

[kathleen1111]

Beautiful.

[Misspretty75]

Ah ouais et j'aime cat stevens aussi sinon je serais pas ici.

[Misspretty75]

Voilà c'était mon coup de gueule, en français. Car je suis française avec des origines marocaines, mon père est musulman, ma mère chrétienne, je suis athée. J'aime la culture anglosaxonne, je veux vivre à New York et faire le tour du monde. VOILA !

[salmalalita]

@Misspretty75 ma puce tu me tues

[Misspretty75]

les maltraitances et j'en passe qui sont monnaie courante dans certaines démocraties telles que les USA ou la France...Parfois, on ferait mieux de balayer devant notre porte avant de parler. Et puis c'est tjrs affaire d'une minorité qui fait parler d'elle parce qu'elle choque mais tous les musulmans ne sont pas des islamistes extrémistes comme tous les israéliens ne s'accordent pas avec la politique de Netanyahu envers la Palestine. ARRETONS DE STIGMATISER. Lire au lieu de regarder la télé.

[Misspretty75]

je ne les critique pas non plus. L'utopie est irréalisable, y aura toujours des insultes faites à la liberté, à la dignité humaine. Mais les petits donneurs de leçon qui s'insurgent à chaque fois que la télé montre un attentat en Irak qui a fait plusieurs morts, majoritairement des occidentaux, perpétré par des terroristes qui sont UNE minorité, ces moralisateurs devraient regarder autour d'eux avant d'aller critiquer. Toutes les magouilles, les dérives gouvernementales, les crimes,

[Misspretty75]

Les gens font ce qu'ils veulent qu'ils s'appellent Michel, Ahmed ou Sarah...Liberté de CULTE ! Quand on prétend défendre la démocratie, la liberté ou que sais-je encore, il est plutôt mal venu de critiquer les autres en sachant que chacun a sa propre vision des choses. Pourquoi chercher à imposer une conception de la réalité ? Chacun ses traditions, ses cultes, son HISTOIRE. Y a pas que la civilisation occidentale qui existe. Je ne cautionne pas les paroles, les actes de certaines personnes mais

[Misspretty75]

C'est vraiment incroyable, à chaque fois que je regarde une vidéo de Cat Stevens sur Youtube, je vois des commentaires sur la religion...Cat stevens N'EST PAS Yusuf Islam, faudrait peut-être faire la différence. Quant bien même, c'est sa volonté d'être musulman, qui êtes-vous pour juger les choix qu'il a fait dans sa vie ? A part si vous vous appelez Dieu, ça ne relève pas DU TOUT de votre avis, votre expérience...Et puis cessez d'avoir une vision aussi manichéenne, y a pas de bien ou de mal.

[theroxorman48]

if only music was a religion.><

[LizzardBoyz]

@theroxorman48 It is my friend, he knew it too, one who is connected to the spiritual side of music :)

[tuckrr48]

muslim, christian, who cares? they are all wrong...I only worship oreo's

[MegaPanzers1]

@tuckrr48 thats offensive, even to the actual singer of this beautiful music; Cat Stevens, who is a muslim :l

[superarmysoldier12]

@MegaPanzers1 He's entitled to an opinion. I personally don't give a fuck if I offend religion. It's all bullshit.

[runepure76]

@tuckrr48 OREAOS AWHDLA:WJF:AJWF:ASJ YUMMEH

[rich1959az]

Tucker you will care when your heart stops beating, a wise man considers eternity

[Hortgeek]

@rich1959az A wise man requires evidence for his convictions.

[rich1959az]

@Hortgeek My Evidence is the Word of God the Bible

[Hortgeek]

@rich1959az Sorry to hear that.

[ThatBritishGenius]

@rich1959az Haha, that isn't evidence. Thats called bullshit.

[robertelliottlangs]

@tuckrr48 ...The Father The Son and the Holy Oreo!!

[Mesalonika]

19 years! I was then....wonderful Wonderful times!!

[wetweasel56]

I think an important point to make is that when this song, and all his great songs, were written, he was NOT a Muslim.

Maybe that is why he was allowed to be so great.

[Obelisk2290]

24 are breakin wind

[54nomore]

He has always been one of my favorite singer/songwriter.

His many works has stood the test of time and will continue to do so for generations to come.

He has always been a very spiritual man looking for answers. Apparently he found it in Islam and became a Muslim.

I see nothing wrong in his search for truth and enlightenment and applaud him for finding it in Islam.

[Haroldbeavis1969]

@54nomore There is absolutely nothing wrong with the search for truth and enlightenment. But there is something terribly wrong when someone with a voice as strong as his spoke louder against the non-crime of blasphemy than the horrific crime of a fatwa.

[Vamptra]

Ahh Tea for the Tillerman... My Dad gave me this tape a loooooong time ago. I used to listen to it when I was around 9, I went to sleep listening to it. Now I know all the words... <3

[beefman138]

Anyone notice that the Bangles stole the intro for "Manic Monday"? Complete rip-off!!! Love the Cat...

[peneddy330]

@beefman138 haha, yup they sure did, it made manic monday better lol

[synthercat]

@3215murph are you kidding me? That's could be my favorite song. I thought you ment someone else dude.

[KnightOneDark]

@999duhast So they aren't aliens from the moon? I will consider this.

[0rganizer]

Hey, all you weirdos who are fighting with each other over nothing here on YouTube:

GO TO SOME CHATROOM AND FIGHT IT OUT THERE, OK??

Maybe then you come back here for the real thing, and that's enjoying good music and good artists!

LOVE AND PEACE!

DAVE

[psocidae]

@0rganizer Oh? There is a posting saying what the real thing is? Or is that just your opinion, in which case it isn't fact, so it isn't the real thing.

[0rganizer]

@psocidae QUOTE: '....the real thing, and that's enjoying good music and good artists!'

[unmemorablehero]

Who can fucking dislike this????

This is cat mother fucking stevens!!! or yusuf islam......still it rocks my face off.

[AtotheDamn]

woww wowowow.....this song captures a moment so damn well.

[synthercat]

I feel sorry for 24 people, I think they need a huge warm hug...

[DrakeGrad]

Great Song

[stellosac]

@999duhast you asked. thats why i'm telling you. use logic

[techdeckdudegamer589]

i hate 24 people in this world

[stellosac]

@999duhast lead singer of matchbox twenty.

[xmariskaax]

I knew his music because of my mom.

We went to see him in concert yesterday; I loved every minute of it!

[KentJMJohnston]

Aw C'mon people all religion is bad. ESPECIALLY Christianity, Muslim whatever it's all bad and unnecessary. Intstead of worshipping artificial space Gods just enjoy the music. Don't be a loser on this earth...

Kent

[falstaffswims]

"I sat upon the setting sun, but never wanted water once." SO beautiful! I'm suddenly feeling admiration for the Muslim faith. Beautiful in its sincerity, wholeness, piety!

[LoverSniper]

I think this is the backgound music for the new Chase ads!!

[CurtisHalfHalf]

@LoverSniper It really is....To think, Chase Bank is using a Cat Stevens song; money only cares about money....people need to pay attention more.

[pavelow235]

Don't know why I think this, but if Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) had talked to Osama Bin Laden in the early '90s maybe his beliefs would have been curbed, and terrorist attacks by Al-qaeda would have never happened.

[iw32]

24 people are full of wind.

[Ronin27x]

My dad has this and a few other of his records on vinyl, including Tea for the Tillerman. I always liked his illustrations; this one from Teaser & the Fire Cat and Tillerman always stick-out from my childhood while browsing through my dad's record collection.

[jeepien]

Does Stevens still encourage the murder of Salman Rushdie? Last I heard, he did.

[lakingsfan85]

@jeepien

Not sure if he ever took that back, but that was really disappointing to hear.

[netbanshee]

Best in Almost Famous? Not quite. Much better in Rushmore, imo.

[gottmovie]

This is a classic.

[puccaluv08]

Almost Famous <3

[SachaTheEvilOne]

cat stevens is alive in my computer

[samkfw1]

This song means the world to me.

[HipHopOpatamus47]

ALIAS ftw(:

[grofys]

there is nothing more precious than youth, nothing harder to hold on to, to live up to, or to give up. this album cover brings back many memories.

[3rdEarlRussell]

Rushmore.

[KatesPinkZeppelin]

Amazing, Cat Stevens = peace, very suprised he chose such a barmy religion. And yeah this is great in Almost famous, such a beautiful film.

[Zoubir75]

@KatesPinkZeppelin You are so ignorant but it is not your fault!.......

[KatesPinkZeppelin]

@Zoubir75 I know i'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, but I just watched a thing about the violence over there and the extremists and it got me angry knowing there are humans like that. I'm sure 99.9% of muslims are peaceful.

[xaxaxaxxx]

Yusuf Islam you are a GIANT amont ants.

[JenPaaful]

For my dear sweet Blessing. cat

[KoszaSzello]

"I let my music take me where my heart wants to go... " :)

[gwengoad]

someone very beauitful posted this..

[Toothyderp]

Wow, I love it!!

[Hellishcrusade]

@999duhast - You're probably right.

[RubyRighteous]

This song make me so... emotional. Beautiful.

[ag7magic]

Beatiful song xD, Even Better performer

[Hellishcrusade]

@stompafly - No, it's not a perfect world...but a great improvement on millions of infantry being slaughtered in the trenches, a one in three chance your child will live to see it's fifth birthday, no welfare system, racial segregation, big-game hunting as a sport, hardly any cure for major diseases, wrongful executions, very few rape convictions, wife beating, little education for the poor, polluted rivers, dogshit everywhere you walk...oh, I could go on and on -and that's only last century!

[Hellishcrusade]

@stompafly - You don't think so? ...cast your mind back to the 1920's...30's..or 40's ..life was pretty fucking grim back then.

[heroboy22]

The best of Stevens!

[KoiChannel]

This is my favourite cat stevens song, it takes you to another time another space.

It's be really cool if you fellow fans would check out a song of mine "While the city sleeps-How wonderful you were". You'll maybe like it!

[23Allie23]

I feel like all Cat Steven's songs are too short, including this one.

So I just put on on repeat for a couple hours... even then he doesn't get old

[MLshelbs]

too short. i love this song

[patty00ify]

I have been a fan of Cat Stevens since the 70's. Cat believed (and still believes) that God is his Father. That he has that same Father as Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddists. And if you think about it, he's right. Why not try to love and worship God the Father, and let people settle into the religions that make them happiest, which ever that is.

[ChivaLocaCuba]

This was the first album I bought back in the 70's. I think it cost me $4.99 at the time which was alot of money then. The moment I laid down the Stereo neddle on "The Wind" I became a big fan of Cat. "The Wind" is the most perfect beautiful song, IMO.

[Carbear65]

Hey everyone, lets all just enjoy this beautiful song. Stop the arguing, please. Thanks!

[Hellishcrusade]

Why do songs of peace instigate such hostility from you Christiums?

Flock? ...Yep, that just about sums you up.

[RemiMarentette]

@Hellishcrusade Too bad all Muslims aren't like Cat Stevens, them the world would be a much better place

[Hellishcrusade]

@RemiMarentette - Yep, he's a great thinker ...and the world IS a better place than it's ever been.

Peace&Light :)

[MKECBS1]

@RemiMarentette Amen to that dude!

[rubyrose456]

Thank you for putting up this song.....so much!

[redshirtish]

Yusuf Islam drops Islam from his name

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

[ViciousZeroEnder]

everybody in here arguing about religion is totally missing the point about this song.

[nakedlaughing]

This song is gorgeous. Yusuf is a brilliant musician, not a religious crusader. Please respect him for his talents and leave your unrelated commentary out of it; Yusuf wouldn't want to see his fans argue this way.

[lisaa7002]

Christ is the only way to God, but that doesn't make this music any less beautiful.

[11xzxzxz]

@lisaa7002 Christ is a big mass murderer who wants moral non-believers to rot in hell.

[theflamingsword516]

This tears through my wanting to be in the marines to defend my country and wanting to bring world peace.... I pray for the second to win!

[creekangel121]

I love this song this was part of an insperational quotes video I was watching hear on youtube. I think this song is so true .

[bortalas]

up the irons!

[Rachaelfriend]

this song is beautiful.

you people who come on here and rage at eachother about religions are ridiculous. growup seriously these arguments start because yusuf is islamic and you know what, if you really listened to his songs you would know that he was always looking for something. you should just be happy for him that he found it in his religion.

[MCLimeslimey]

Cat Stevens is right up there with the Grateful Dead and the Beatles.

[DumbfoundAdog]

@jennysways no kill him

[redshirtish]

@jennysways let him just go to Sweden and face the two women

and Assange should give Australia back to the Abbos

he is going to get shafted and I feel sorry fopr the Afghanis he has named for the Taliban to kill

bollocks to Assange let him crawl through hell and repent

[hairyasshole2]

Look ive seen the word Muslim and all that come up in loads of these songs, I dont read the comments because its all filth and hatred towards each other. All I can say is please stop this and listen to the music, I dont care about it all.

[acdc0895]

Why did you ask me to come here?

Oh, I was going to drop that tree on you.

That big one?

Yeah.

It would've flattened me like a pancake.

[rockyracune]

I love this song. It's a gem. But it's now hard to separate the beauty of the song with the conflicted man who has aligned himself with the most violent, anti-Jewish and anti-Christian religion in the world. How does Cat reconcile his "Peace Train" song with the carnage of 9-11 and his approving the planned murder of the writer Salman Rushdie? Maybe Cat has not completely stopped swimming in that "devil's lake" after all.

[FrizAtHome]

@rockyracune You are one of the most close-minded people I've seen on Youtube

[rockyracune]

@FrizAtHome dumb shit, I have a thing against people wanting to kill writers of books. I don't care if some intolerant folks (Cat Stevens) just might be offended by a book. Cat is no saint. He's a radical Muslim now. Face it and grow up. Cat's Peace Train has left the station and he's not on it.

[FrizAtHome]

@rockyracune Who the fuck are you to judge this man, or any other at that matter? Keep your opinions to yourself, Cat's choice is between him and his religion. Do I agree with his beliefs? Certainly not. But unlike you I am mature enough to accept who he is and enjoy his music as he would want it to be. This isn't high school anymore pal.

[rockyracune]

@FrizAtHome asshole, would you say the same immature comments if Cat Stevens had suddenly joined the deplorable KKK? I don't think so. Cat joined a terrible cult religion and he lost me as a fan when he turned his back on Christ and started to whore after the violence of Islam. There are two kinds of Muslims: those that murder innocent people and those that object to the mass murder, but remain silent. I have no respect for Muslims. Muslims are truly a cancer on God's earth. Can't you see?

[FrizAtHome]

@rockyracune You make me laugh. If you are not a fan of Cat Stevens why are you commenting on his videos? There's radical christians who turn to violence too buddy, there's also radical buddhists and Wiccans. You say you follow Christ., yet in the past two comments youve called me a dumb shit and an asshole, whereas I've not called you a name, though I should. Practice what you preach, its guys like you that make me embarrassed to be a christian.

[11xzxzxz]

@FrizAtHome You should be embarrassed to be a Christian mostly because Jesus is a terrorist who would have all non-believers rot in hell. Jesus cares not how moral you are: if you don't believe in the Son you are doomed to gnawing and gnashing of teeth at the gates of hell for an eternity. Actually Paul and the other 3 writer-salesmen wrote about jesus 30 or 40 years after he lived and the entire bible follows a line of fables and myths that were part of prior religions.

[FrizAtHome]

@11xzxzxz you're either misinformed or very ignorant, or both. But I dont think its worth the effort to tell you how wrong you are :)

[11xzxzxz]

@FrizAtHome No it is Christians who don't read their Bible...and studies show Agnostics are more intelligent, educated and know the Bible better then believers. Of course you are a coward who doesn't deal in facts just a little slander aimed at me when you tell me I am either misinformed or "very ignorant". Let's stick to facts and what can be found in the Bible. I will tell you where in the Bible Jesus indicates everlasting punishment in hell for non-believers.

[11xzxzxz]

@11xzxzxz Of course if I am blocked by the sites owner I may not be able to return your call. And it is somewhat disrespectful to talk this stuff on his site but you have no site now and no way I can message you.

[FrizAtHome]

@11xzxzxz Furthermore, you saying "agnostics are more intelligent, educated, etc." is absolutely hilarious. Intelligence does not have anything to do with race, religion, political views, sexuality etc. It has to do with the education provided, the curiosity of knowledge and the discipline to learn. You are very silly my friend.

[11xzxzxz]

@FrizAtHome You are one deluded dude. IQ tests scores show non-believers are more intelligent. Doubt me - want to bet?. Only .02 percent of the prison populations admit to be non-believers. College educated people are less likely to believe. Atheists live as moral lives as believers and believers with the carrrot and stick effect (dummy do you know what that is .. look it up) should definitely be more moral, but it ain't so. There are over 1,000 contradictions in the bible.
