  • the best song with creat words ,because it's a song sperituel with deep feelings, which is a real goal, where a call to hearts already died from the top down lives!

  • This is such a positive thread

  • he could be purple for all i care one of the greatest performers of all time and still is

  • he could be purple for all i care .great

  • Yusuf's word and music still capture my heart. I am SO glad that he is still making music for all of us.

  • its good to see so many positive comments on this song with all the garbage on the others

  • We could always hear the old recordings, and he could be happier far from the music industry.

    But now he made the decision to sing again, and it's a pleasure to hear him, singing not only the old songs but also beatifull new ones like this. And with no anguish or sadness on the voice.

    Greetings from Brazil.

  • Thank you so much for sharing this. This is my first time hearing this beautiful song. 

    Cat, Yusuf, it doesn't matter. This man is a gift from all that is.

  • A wonderful song! Still a huge fan and will remain so. Beautiful music written from the heart.

    Love it!!!!

  • Lovely song, excellent..

  • Dedicated to my belov'd Yuri, Soma Enlil, and Uncle Yusef

  • Such a peace full song..........

  • The whole album (A Nother Cup) is magic! Yusuf/Cat still has it-would love to see him in concert

  • I luv it.

  • absolute magic

  • Lindo, emocionante!

  • cool song very cool man

  • I've always loved Cat Stevens and I agree with all the praise. His voice has aged, and I wonder what happened beyond aging, cause it doesn't have as much bottom as it used to.

  • I love you Yusef...I loved you since you were Cat.

  • Good song! But, I think it is stupid and naive of whoever moderates this to filter people's responses. What happened to freedom of speech and expression? If someone is dumb enough to think Yusuf is a bad person for believing in Islam then so be it. Why try to silence them? Surely you believe in Islam enough to know that a few peoples' naivete won't change anything?

  • I didn't filter this video for a long time..but the comments got so hateful, political and was no longer in any way about the music. I am not a Muslim, just a lover of good music

  • i love this song. cat stevens yusuf, it doesn't matter. music from the heart

  • It´s truth!! He´s amazing..

  • Ah, Yusuf. How strong and true your voice is, even after all this time. A man of magic.

  • Amazing voice still after all these years. Fantastic song.

  • i love this song so muchts welcome back cat stevens and thanks for give us your awsome music:-)

  • what a laugh...in high school we thought his real name was Steve Katz

  • I love him and I love this song! Beautiful and true!

  • Thank you VERY much for posting this. I love this song. When was it recorded?

  • the album it came with was released 2006, but this is actually a rework of his older work from the 18 minute song Foreigner Suite released in 1973.

  • Amazingly beautiful song! First time I am hearing this one! Great words! unfortunately people don't much follow true love. They listen to fears,problems, selfishness,lust and greed. I live in southern California and it is not easy, but it is one of the most beautiful places to be. Relationships are hard here. They want material satisfaction(greed,lust fame)instead of true love. Just look at the reality shows. Where's true love? Love and light!

  • Understand where your coming from...yet the love we give will always live...

  • you are totally right this song should of won a grammy its amazing. all i can think of is my love for football (soccer) and my passion to play and be great when i hear this song.

  • I honestly don't care what religion he is. I love this song.

  • Cat Stevens was born a man of peace and Yusuf Islam will die a man of peace. A shift in his beliefs has not changed his soul.

  • Ditto,,,truer words were never spoken...and look how amazing his soul is!

  • Simply amazing!"

  • welcome back my old friend...

  • the moment you walked inside my door............Greeting form Nagoya Japan !!!!! Awesome an best song ever !!!!

  • Yusuf Islam touches my soul at the deepest place with this song. it could be about the sweetest romantic love or the pure love for Allah. This man has brought so much beauty to the world his whole life through his music. Thank you.

  • This is a nice song.

  • @thatwardgirl,

    those are the eyes of a man who is completely at peace with himself.:-)

  • I dont believe anyone on this earth is better than him

  • he is a cancer they are the nicest people and very spiritual, the greatest guitarist joe satriani is also cancer and a nice guy look him up.

  • He will always be one of this world's greatest singer/songwriters... love him!

  • So true, so true !!!!

  • He may be referencing god, his religion's name for god, but it is still the same basic message. It is the churches - Christian, Jew, Muslim etc. that creates the divides. No difference between this and all that Christain rock and ballad stuff out there - except I believe this man to be sincere and not using God and Jesus to make a buck. Besides the man is totally talented, more than I can say for the stuff being sold by TimeLife as faith based modern music.

  • Lovely, lovely. And, have you ever seen kinder eyes on anyone?

  • why is this not on MTV? or TMF?

    but still, well done Yusuf you rock.

  • Only one guy can take these songs into the 21st century... and that's "cat" himself"...after all he owns this music in more ways's than one...the music of our lives...

  • Allah is great,

    I love this song. Thank you Yusuf Islam .

  • great song!

  • my favourite cat stevens song by far.

  • Peace from Upstate New York

  • real good song. i hadn't heard it before. seems like it's kind of telling the story of how he came about finding his beliefs...with him almost drowning in the ocean and finding God

  • I'm so happy this song has got over a million views! CONGRATS! (even though this was posted a few years ago). It's a shame that not a lot of young people listen to this stuff by him (like his 60's/ 70's songs- classics!). I'm trying to make some of my friends aware of his music......Im known as the Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam fan to my friends! And I'm proud if it! He's a legend! PEACE.

  • Amazing! A legend! Thank you.

    PEACE.

  • He has finally found his religion and thus he sings, long live Yusuf Islam!

  • No matter what name he goes by, it's obvious he's still Cat Stevens.

  • You are right. His voice is one of a kind.

  • this song is a religion

  • this song is a miracle - but not this religion

  • Hermosa canción. Gracias Cat Stevens!!!

  • Why doesn't Yusuf play the piano anymore??? From what I understand when he was young he use to feel more comforable composing his music on the piano rather than the guitar. Does anyone know? Does it have something to do with Islam?? I loved to watch his hands when he played. He was and is a fantastic musican. So blessed is he.

  • Its against the Islam religion to play any thing other than drum, vocal and I guess guitar.

  • Are you serious?

  • Anyone even remotely versed in any sort of world music background would know that this is more idiotic than saying, "Beethoven played saxophone." You think and then you speak. Welcome to humanity.

  • On his upcoming album, "Roadsinger" (May 5, 2009) he does play piano (/is excited). His reasons for not doing so previously were, I believe, that he didn't feel quite comfortable on it yet.

  • Life just got a little sweeter

  • Immer noch der Beste---Simple the best

  • Peace from Toronto

  • this should have been aired on MTV

  • i wish they did but they only show fake music on mtv like Justin Timberlake and Byoncé and all that crap music they don't know what real good music is and music with a meaning!

  • My greatest inspiration in music. I love this man

  • i go where true love goes ...thx for a such a beautiful song..!!!

  • Peace on earth !

  • IT TIME//dear Yusuf it this been a long time 1973

    down under aust we need to see you .the fire have kill 181 so far +,,3800 +home we need to take the PEACE train with you can you help paul ps love you mate

  • What an amazing song! I didn't know that Kat/Yusif was still making music. I'm going to have to find this album.

  • I am now sure everything he sings is gorgeous!

  • hes so good :P

  • Thanks for bring this song to us

  • this is total bullshit he was deported from the u s!

  • for what? changing his name to yusuf islam. duh

    i love Y.Islam. God BLESS U FOR UPLOADING IT :D

  • an angel

  • Truly amazing song.

  • yes it is really great!

    jazak allah khayr!

  • beautiful song!!!!!

    He looks pretty HOT in this one too!!!!

  • It`s Beautiful

    Great song!!!!!

  • the ending reminds me of a final fantasy melody, awesome :)

  • beautiful song

  • he has a beautiful soul

  • peace from the Netherlands!

  • genius, only genius and i love it

  • I couldn't care less what religion he is or isn't. Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam has always had a beautiful soul and has always expressed it beautifully. And he even was Carly Simon's inspiration for her song "Anticipation."

  • This updated version of Heaven/Love (Foreigner Suite) is as beautiful as the original one! It is amazing, that I still like Cat Stevens' music after almost 30(!) years. His lyrics and music really has eternal value.

  • wow, he really rocks. This is the beautiful face of islam and I believe the real.

  • mashallah, perfection

  • Mashallah, only way to describe this song is perfect, esp if it applies to your life. Subhanallah

  • mashallah! he has changed scince i was little.

  • mashallah

  • After listening to the lyrics and seeing the video that people were comparing Yusef Islams Heaven/Love to Coldplays song, I had to wonder where on earth anyone could possibly think the two were anywhere close, especially if they listened to the meaning of the words?

  • love dis song, well done yusuf!

  • that menas subhanahu wua taahla. :)like price to him or somethink

  • yousef islam i give you all the credit in the world,you are a perfect example for the non-believers.masahallah.

  • assalamu alaikkum Yusuf islam!

  • Pardon my ignorance, but I've noticed in a lot of the comments, people type "swt" after Allah -- what does that mean?

  • It is an abbreviation for "Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala" which means "Glory to Him, the Exalted"

  • Yes, this song is taken from an excerpt from Cat Stevens (now known as Yusef Islam) own Foreigner Suite, from the Foreigner album, 1973. Many have tried to imitate, but there is only one true evolving artist here. Perhaps we should research what we think before we start accusing artists of ripping off their own music.

  • God is great no matter what name u call him

  • SO RIGHT!

  • This song is older than anyone from Coldplay!

  • Beautiful. Lovingly lovely.

  • What a great songn of LOVE -----this indeed touches the heart ------the chid is running towards LOVE---THE MOTHER. Beautiful.

  • Heart-warming song of love------and lovely music-------------and then the pictures of a child ,running towards the embrace of mother --- this indeed touches the heart ,and turns this presentation into a poweru spell of moving into the beautiful world of true "ROMANCE"---that ROMANCE which keeps humanity going & living on this earth. Indeed very beautiful & moving experience for the heart.

  • I love this man and his music soooo much!! He is a truly beautiful soul!!!! Peace and blessing to all.

  • the lyrics are the greatest

    that is LOVE in Words

  • This is heavenly song of LOVE---does not matter who sings it------Cat Stevens , Yusaf Islam or any other person by any name----this will always remain heavenly song of LOVE. Every one needs a song of love inside his or her heart.

  • Peace from the Finger Lakes, New York State!

  • I bought this DVD. It's so emotional. I can't stop to listen and see it. I love yusuf more after to watch his interview about his life. Peace to brazil (a place where he lived for many years).

  • This song is one of the greatest i´ve ever heart.

  • this sounds nothing like viva la vida

    the person who said it did was a fool

  • i lost my way

  • it has been touching my heart since I first heard it early in 2007. Still my favorite song, and listen to it every day, and watch the video everytime I log on to youtube.

  • This is my special song it touches my heart

  • This song keeps touching my heart macha´Allah !

  • I Love This Song It´s My Favourite Song

  • oh my god he is totally copying coldplay's viva la vida. i hope they sue him.

  • This song is from Yusuf's album from 2006, the sonf of Coldplay is from 2008.

    Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens still the legend

  • this was out before viva la vida

  • this song has been written many years earlier than coldplay´s viva la vida

  • This song is older than viva la vida. This guy should sue coldplay.
