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!
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.
i saw usuf last night on the charlie rose show...i'm ecstatic that a man of peace and love and joy has returned to sing to us his most excellent poetry !!! thank you for returning, cat !
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Call him cat, call him Yusuf
every thing about this wonderful man is truely amazing.
The most humble and sincere soul, the world has seen in a very long time.
God bless his beautiful soul!
