  • his voice has this amazing sparkling quality and depth to it. he's such a beautiful singer.

  • beautiful

  • momwoonss :)))) dzalian dzaliiaaann ♥ )) miyvarxar!

  • and yet so sad :'(

  • so beautiful :') 

  • Probably the sweetest and saddest song ever written.

    It makes me think of a certain someone from almost 40 years ago.

    I hope she's well.

  • This is the song that reminds me of my father.....oh yes, there are still tears with this song.

  • tu sais deja cherie que je t'adore big one like ! xx

  • Hey Tantalus, she must still know how much you love her. God Bless.

  • @Tantalus52 I´m sorry...wish you to find peace in your soul... with such music it is easier

  • If I couldve wriiten a song for the man Im in love with it wouldve been this song.Its says exactly how I feel.

  • The most beatifull love song ever created by the humanity. Cat ou Youssuf? Who care? Love don't have borders, religion or names. Great christmas for everyone, at any country in the world, whit peace, love and poems. Nowadays in my country, Portugal, we are standding in front of a huge economic problem. But, even in most darkness time, we must have hope and we must believe in the future. I do...

  • the most beautifull song the Cat wrote.

  • I'm an 11 years old girl from Serbia.All the boys at school have feelings for me, except for one boy witch i LOVE.I know that my story is not as sad as yours, no one died but I always think about this and i nead other people's advice whether to admit him my feelings for him or to hide my feelings...

  • Cat Stevens always takes me back 30 years to someone I can't be with. Beautiful

  • I just love this song so much...... beautiful. It reminds me of someone who I cannot have in my life right now. I am always thinking of him and longing for his arms around me..........

  • whats the deal with roses on pianos? 

  • Yes, beautiful song, I agree and I'm nowhere near from this generation, haha,. :)

  • everything anybody in love needs to say is right here ;)

  • This song captured my heart more than many other songs I had heard before ...

    (this was many many years ago ...)

    But, hearing it now, it still, and again, holds my heart in the palm of it's hand ...

  • @ Tantalus, So sorry my friend about your wife as the true special people only come our way but only once, and how you put it blubbering, just proves you are human and a great person.... life will get better my friend, may seem so dark at the mo but you will see, the sun will shine again :)

  • tantalust52, i am so sorry for your lost...

  • 60 years old. Wife just died. She was 43 and beautiful. Here I am blubbering like a baby.

  • @Tantalus52 I wish I had words of wisdom to comfort you. May she rest in peace and may you know she is still with you in spirit and memories.

  • @catbrush123 Thanks. I'll risk listening again. I was a young man, then--but those early years of listening to Cat Stevens will be with me so long as I have memory.

  • @catbrush123  - Try to stay strong mate- it gets easier, seems so stupid to hear that with the pain you are in, but really it does get easier, give it time, your hurt will get less and your smiles more. ooo

  • @Tantalus52

    So sorry for your loss.

  • @Tantalus52 I feel for you deeply, but always remember that she may not be with you physically, but spiritually & emotionally she is were she always has been & that is in your heart.

  • @Tantalus52 oh man...so sorry..I'm blubbering now just thinking of you...sorry for your loss...this song does so resonate this feeling...<3

  • Comment removed

  • @Tantalus52 Amazing words. From Portugal, with love, for you. And remember: she will never die while you still remember her. God bless you both.

  • @Tantalus52 I am so sorry, Tantalus...

  • This song is original from Colo♥bia!! =D

  • it seems like the comment before this is trying to piss people off. great song great artist nuff said no need to insult a man for what he worships or how serious he worships. chocolate and budda

  • @Roberthenryii Don't get me wrong,I'm not insulting Cat - just a little cynical about these religions who's opening gambit is "Give us all your money." Remember how Mohammed Ali was taken to the cleaners by the Black Muslims? I have seen religion in many shapes and guises destroy lives over the years,preying on the weak and insecure. My main sadness in this case is that his retreat into seclusion cost us so many years of potentially great music. A little bit like Scott Engel.

  • @purplepelican69 i can see that point. he would have made more music if he didnt let it consume his life. maybe he felt like a puppet and needed fuphilment

  • My favourite song from a very talented artist. Cat illuminated the early/mid 70's with a series of great albums. Pity he had to fall for the religion con and fall off the radar. I hear he's trying to stage a comeback but it's probably too late now. How many desperate and vulnerable people grasp religion as a crutch only to find out that it is infected with terminal commercial woodworm?

  • Glad someone sent this to me...I had not heard it. I love his music. This is quite beautiful.

  • most beautiful love song ever.....touches me deeply

  • This is a kick-butt song isn't it!?????

  • One of the most beautiful love songs ever....♫Logic

  • How can I tell you That I love you That I love you And I can't think of right words to say I long to tell you That I'm always thinking of you I'm always thinking of you But my words just blow away Just blow away It always adds up to one thing, honey And I can't think of right words to say
  • the only song that haunts me at all time.

  • giati eisai ellinas re file!!

  • Catbrush thanks for the bittersweet melancholy memories. The acoustic guitar makes this song even more haunting to me now.

  • la chanson la plus triste ( sad ) et le plus romantique de catstevens ! the top ten of cat

  • How can i tell you that i love you,i love you

    But i cant think of right words to say... ♥ ♥ ♥

  • Muchas gracias for remember this lovely song and try to choose the adaptet video which is very very dificult to .do it.

  • this is the best song to listen to while having sex

  • the love song of the 20th century.

  • A lonely Cat searching for love miles from nowhere while morning is breaking .

  • This is how I feel about this girl I like. I know that she likes me to but in our religion, we cannot be together. I showed her this song and she told me she felt the same way. I'm still mad however because we both love each other and can't even hang out without being lectured about how wrong we're being.

  • @puzzler623 does neither of your religions allow for conversion? Obviously if something is there that God has put there to attract each of you to the other, there must be a purpose.

  • @puzzler623 fuck the religion/people that try and prevent you from being together. listen to your heart.

  • I'd heard this song many times, but it really hit me in the gut this morning. I feel the same way, just can't find the right words, can't find the one I'm looking for even though it's like she's right there beside me - the one that will bring those words from my lips.

  • This is poetry on a stick. I wonder who, if anyone, Cat had in mind when he wrote this beautiful song. The lyrics and everything about it should be stored in an international museum, FOREVER! It, like he, is 18ct real.

  • @7272257 how right you are.He should have a CBE for this one,and for his amazing songwriting contribution.

    Its an anthem to rival all anthems,to unrequited love.Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.Its beauty will live forever.

  • Fine Video to my favorite Cat song....Thanks Carbrush

  • Pretty video for a gorgeous song.

  • This one is for sweet KRISTEN I will never forget you.I will LOVE you foverbaba davanan

  • Such a great track.

  • I will always remember you, the time we shared together...and how you made me feel like I could conquer anything....

    I will never forget.

  • such a beautiful, soothing song and nice job with the slide show!

  • Beautifull.

  • General Cordswainer just put out a cover of this song. It's like a mix between Cat Power and Mazzy Star. Very sexy & a bit smoother than the Cat Stevens version. Totally recommended for your first dance at your wedding if you're a fan of Indie/Folk/Acoustic Rock.

  • @IndieMusicCritic82 is that a band? I can't locate their cover on Youtube though. MInd sharing the url?

  • this is my favorite love song :)

  • i feel this song for my late beautiful husband Bruce.....longing

  • @jmasplymouthbruce2 It's true. Those who have lost someone very dear cannot listen to this song without reference to, and longing for, the person no longer here.

  • @grizzlyten yes..thank you :)

  • this is beautifull of cat stevens you need feel the melody and words this song.

  • Beautiful, profound song. Cat at his best. A timeless classic, never tire of hearing it. Why don't they write songs like this anymore?

  • How can I tell that ......I LOVE YOU, how?????

  • Hate the ads..

  • This beautiful song is a true TREASURE!! :)

  • @HOLLYWOODCASANOVA YEAH!! :)

  • To ME...The MOST beautiful Love song there is EVER...Every time I hear it, it touches my heart...And what you did with the pics, "good show" my friend...

  • Still true through the years ... never ending story .... it always ends up to one thing honey when I look and you're not there ....

  • Hits home.

  • very nice melody. I like!!!!!

  • As a young DJ in Mexico back in the early 70's, I would play this song and couples would run to the dance floor...

  • very very good..

  • I'm always walking with you. x

  • @HeadGirl I'm Right There Next to You; Right Here...

    Smile!

    :)

    xoxo

  • @HeadGirl talking not walking :-)

  • did you type in corny love photos on google or something?

  • @cornpopsandacid Yep... :-)

  • @catbrush123 man, if you could have only left of the MOM on the cube....

  • @huston3 I had posted the video and only then noticed the word Mom... very embarrassing!! Just pretend it's not there. :-)

  • @catbrush123 Had a good friend ask about his wish that he could tell his wife how wonderful he finds her and I was suggesting a "mixtape," or the youtube equivalent. had actually been listening for the sound quality and only looked up in time to see that (and realized that's probably not the thought he was having). I'm sure he'll deal with it. From what I've seen, your video is beautiful....

  • @huston3 I can feel a frying pan on top of the head moment for your friend.. Lol Thanks for the compliment. :-)

  • heartbeat, the death of kate rowan, this song was played, reduced me to tears

  • You did an amazing work of art with this video :) Lovely expression of this haunting song of love and longing.

    It made me cry but in such a sweet and wonderful way...

    Thank You XO

  • It takes a very talented songwriter to say words that don't always come easily for you. Thanks, Cat. :)

    For you, G-A.

  • beautiful song

  • Incluida en "Teaser and the firecat", una de mis preferidas desde que la escuche. Es de las canciones de amor mas hermosas que he escuchado. Gracias. Saludos desde Costa Rica.

    Included in "Teaser and the firecat", This song is one of my very favorites since I heard it. One of the most beautiful songs of love ever written. Thank you very much. Greetings from Costa Rica.

  • One of his best.

  • Amo esa época lejana, ésta música k me llena de nostalgia...amo todo ese tiempo maravilloso que tu música representa y aquellos seres que, lejanos en el tiempo viven en mis recuerdos cada día. Gracias Cat Stevens por haber dejado para toda  una generación una huella imborrable con tu música y canciones:* Li

  • just blow away...

  • Beautiful video for this achingly poignant song.

  • Even from the way the guitar is being played you can immediately recognize that this is Cat Stevens! I love him! Great song.....

  • " Love is the souls recognition of its counterpart in another"

    Some say it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all...... Im not so sure about that.

  • This is one of the greatest songs ever written, or performed. I had so many of his albums when I was young. As a troubador, or a writer, or a musician, whatever hat he is wearing.... Cat Stevens is the best!

  • One of the great love ballads of all time. Saw the Cat in Atlanta in 1971 & still one of my most memorable evenings of music. He wrote & sang to the soul.

  • Doug loves Sherrie.

  • I love you, Sherrie.......from Doug

  • ich finde das lied bei der einen folge von doctors diary am besten.

  • this is too touching baby ♥ I love you ♥ you dont need the right words youve already told me baby ♥

  • a trully heart wrenching song. Such great sadness. My heart breaks every time that i hear this gorgeous song. I feel 18 again. What a treasured spirit is Cat/Yusuf.

  • Long live Cat , brilliant , this is a wonderful song, thanks for sharing.

  • The man is a genius.

    I've never heard anyone else who can deliver such immense sadness in a song.

  • everytime!!!!!!!

  • True musical excellence!

  • Brilliant.

  • Fell in love to this song at 14. Still think about that boy!

  • keren pisan...

  • salam dari ireland

  • Where are you Cat ,we miss you .Love song of the 20th century.

  • i saw him last year in Saudi Arabia, i even got his autograph :D

  • @flamexXxstrings

    you are lucky to get his auto...

  • Recuerdo cuando los poemas y las cuerdas me tenían en los atardeceres soñando con algo que nunca tuve... siempre quise.. y estaba a lado...

  • Saludos de Irlanda

  • simplemente extraordinario

  • I can't imagine anyone ever writing a lovelier ballad. Thanks much for the beautiful video-a real work of art.

  • whoever I'm with, I'm always talking to you.

  • Thanks for the post catbrush123. You are a gem. And the vid is absolutely beautiful. I wish you a Happy New Year riddled with good health my friend.

  • Thank you so much and a very very Happy New Year to you too. :-)

  • No not at all, you're most welcome. In fact I'll subscribe to your channel and add you as a friend. I hope you do likewise.

  • I will indeed and thank you once again.

  • One of the Greatest songs to hear when you are in Love with someone.

  • i can't agree more!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • not only great to hear when you are in love but its been my go to song for having to fall out of love.doesnt work too well tho, been a good few years and i keep coming back to it for the same girl that i just cant seem to forget. maybe im twisted like that.

  • Sometimes I find it hard to believe that people can write songs this beautiful.

  • einach genial-ich schwebe in Vergangenheit und geniesse

  • I love this song. and also the best guitarist in the world's version of it. John Frusciante.

    he did it at a red hot chili peppers concert...really beautiful.

  • john played it at the concert i went to!

    AMAZING!

  • Three words sums him up....

    "FUCK....He's brilliant!!!"

  • after all, its never too late...

    ;-)

  • Sublime... this man sounds like he sings love itself. Sometimes I feel that God speaks through him, and through people like him.

    And I'm not even religious. Speechless might well be the word indeed.

  • ΟΜG...speechless

  • i thought this was about someone who has died ??

  • This song make me wish that I could turn back the hands of time to reverse those decisions that have cost me so dear, maybe then this song wouldn't amplify the emptiness. Maybe in the next life eh :-)

  • wow it makes me feel quite te same but is never too late;-)

  • Don't do that neither to yourself nor to the person you love. The time is now. In a next life, if there is one, you will no longer be you and she will no longer be herself. The time is now. Don't do that to yourself.

  • I am merely an ameteur song writer but I'd give my balls to be able to write like Cat and put music to it. A rare talent. They'd be nothing else I'd ever want for.

  • But without balls, your voice would sound funny when you try to sing.

    Just kidding!

    =)

  • It reminds of a poem wrote. I walked along our beach today, Alone Except for my footprints tagging along behind like a faithful puppy dog- stopping when did- Following- But even they didn't stay long- The cold west wind blew a blizzard of fine, white sand around my feet until my footprints faded back into the sea again, like a memory of the summer before last....
  • I love this song. Thanks so much for posting this beautiful song! It always calms me down when I am stressed. Thanks again so much.

  • @nikkipoo0307 Thanks for your comment.. It's a beautful song and I'm glad you enjoyed it. :-)

  • Comment removed

  • Simplemente una cancion divina !

  • Perfectly awesome!

  • This is a very beautiful song by Cat Stevens that has stood the test of time I always think of my mum when i hear this song so i dedicate this song to you mum  Michael J Gibbons

  • Very nice.

  • Back again...love it!

  • beautiful song for me :) >6

  • I have, after 40 years really listened to these words...

    "sad that you can't hear"

    "I look and you're not there"

    "I need to know you"

    "hope that I might find you"

    Rather than a song about a man who simply can't find the proper words (due to whatever) to say to someone who is his lover, it's a song about someone with love ready to give to and share with someone who has not come into his life yet. Idealized love or whatever, it's still a longing, a profound longing.

  • ....... :)

  • Your comments are profound and appreciated by at least me.

  • i think it can be interpreted either ways, either someone waiting for that special someone to come along, or someone who is in love with someone that they have trouble confessing to.

  • Look at the words.....it may appear that it has to do with not being able to express love, BUT if he hasn't even found her, looks and she's not there, needs to know her, is sad that she's not there, then "she" is still his idealized love. If it's what you suggest, then it's a lady who's really busy and he only sees her once and awhile...that seems absurd! HOW can he tell her that he loves her? He can't! She's not there and has not come into his life. That view fits the song's profound mood .

  • Yes, exactly. So we search, wait, maybe find, only then hope to find the words.

  • @bumblebeemoi

    Now i understand. x

  • @bumblebeemoi  yes

  • noch mehr grüße aus irland ;)

    ich liebe das lied!

  • amo esta cancion la adoro la amo

  • Saludos de Irlanda :-)

  • Dear Catbruch123,

    The Cat Stevens tribute is simply beautiful! Did you make it 'cause if you did I want to compliment you. I'd love to have the original if possible. I'm a song writer in my own write (pun) along the lines of Cat Stevens and James Taylor. I look a lot like James Taylor. The shot with the girl and her dog is simply gorgeous; well the whole thing is just wonderful! The roses on the steps are very dramatic. I have a song called Everything Changes I'll post soon.

    John Frederick
