  • this man is a legend.....what he has decided to believe now doesn't change my feelings on the music he made and what I listened to in the 1970's.........his music from then has nothing to do with religion......

  • generation of 60's love cat.

  • It is though people go stupid when they listen to music, guess there is something about demons being in music. It is like a bunch of left wing fools listen to this guys music. I am not so blind, so stupid, so naive, so ignorant not to realize that to listen to this guys music now is to support his choice of beliefs. This guy joined the most evil, vile, sexist, racist, in-tolerant cult the world has ever seen. His music is dead...

  • @GTCism mate his music will never die, it is iconic, you don't listen to the reality of what his music and lyrics are about. Much more than your narrow mind will ever take in. If you don't like it don't listen to it. There's millions of other people who enjoy his views on the belief of peace through out the world. Stop being negative.

  • @GTCism I thought he was muslim not a christian

  • This song completely knocked me out. I listened to it and felt like I had been standing on the beach during a tidal wave. It struck a cord and played on so many emotions! This guy could not write a bad song.

  • i wish they had all passed down their music into coming generations so that we'd still have some brilliant artists like him.....its sad how the world has gone to the mindless music we have today......two of my fav cat stevens songs...cheers good sir !

  • WAAAUUUW likelikelikelikelikeeeee!!!!

  • No words to explain how I love this.... brought a tear to my eye.... thank you!!!

  • I'll Drink to you my Baby. Miles from Nowhere. Not a soul in sight, but it's alright. I have my freedom. I can make my own rules. The ones that I choose.

    A possible interpretation - A song wherein the protagonist, whose song it is, is caught in Alcoholism. Wild World a song about Women's Liberation, where the protagonist "singing the song" is being left because he isn't hip at all.. Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear. I'll always remember you like a Child, girl. Baby, I love you.

  • Such a tiny man, such a small span of production, such a profound effect on my life.

  • woooooooooooooohoooooooooooooo­ooo i love cat stevens. yes indeed i do

  • Cat Stevens was a pop musician of the 70's whose music brought peaceful thoughts, serenity and a way of escaping the harsh world and it's everyday problems. The fact that he gave it all up for his personal religious beliefs does not detract from the great songs he wrote and sang for all of us, regardless of our religious or non-religious beliefs. So, enjoy and forget about reading into him or his music. Music is to be enjoyed, just like reading.

  • GREAT SINGER!

    MISS YOU!!!

    BEAUTIFUL SONG!!

  • He was so beautiful - I didn't know a girl who wasn't in love with him at the time.

  • incredible music-fucking damn oeriod!

  • I don't understand your response....what words am i missing? What does the tea party have to do with anything that i said? Unless you are referring in some way to tea for the tillerman, but i still don't really understand what you are trying to say, please enlighten me.....i am curious...

  • Hard to believe this was 35 years ago.  Such a great talent. Love his music!

  • Cat's the MAN, i listened to this music when i was teenager in the 80"s, i listen to it now, who gives a rats arse what his religion is, if he went sideways, haven't we all in some form? Bottom line, music, lyrics, CAT transcends time and religion. SIMPLE..so all you religious typers why don't u take the time to purchase a set of headphones and press play........

  • @polmaccaba01 So profound my friend, just a few missing words, listen, learn and forget the tea party.

  • I first listened to his music in the 70's when I was in my twenties. Now that I am in my sixties, his music is sweeter than ever and oh yes, please stop the BS about him being a terroist. He is a musician, a lyricist, a poet, a perpetual seeker of life's stories

  • @fredkaplowitz Hi Fred -- I'm with you 1000%! he's still working on his broadway production. i'm hoping he finishes it.

  • I have no words....except I love this man's music....

  • There is no religion here, just talent.

  • best song by far by the cat

  • Tea for the Tillerman was one of the first LPs i listened too, my Dad had it along with some other goodies (music wise). I have always come back to Cat any time i have a few beers, i am thinking about things, or i just have a few minutes to relax. My 2 kids will listen to him and i hope their kids will listen to him because great music has no time limit and has no racial or religious boundaries. And, this my friends is great music.

  • Ovation Guitar sweet

  • this man shows more emotion than anyone,he's fantastic

  • no one says he's a terrorist u shithead

  • love his music

  • Love his passion and energy, seems so real and genuine. Just what's missing today.

  • hes not a terrorist

  • I thought I loved you as a studio artist, but after hearing your live performance I have fallen in love with your music all over again!!!!!

  • He is of peace and love!!

  • He use to have his hidden studio up the mountain from our chalet in Laurentians/Quebec 70's and to this day..... his sound lifts the spirit...that's reality!

  • AWESOME!!!!! I grew up to this and still love it, born in 1969, Cat your the man

  • where we go what we do be happy love thank god for hes the way wishing ever one a good day forever

  • What is it you wanted when you came to this video? The song? Yes. So, why are people talking religion? I don't get it. Enjoy what you came here for instead of making yourself miserable by interjecting issues that have nothing to do with this song(s) nor why you came to listen to it in the first place! Enjoy! Peace and Love All!

  • @MicMacGrass1 You are SO Right- Seems I see this at almost Every Video when I just want to Listen and enjoy, and be in the moment of the Precious Treasured Songs by Cat-~Have all his records-I'm here to see this, make positive comments -Don't type if you don't like it-& Just let us Enjoy it here okay? His Songs have Deep Meaning Love IT~♥ (If you don't like it, don't watch it, dang, ppl shut up and end enjoy ) ♥DH

  • Love and peace, thats the only thing real...... peace to all

  • Guess I'll Take my Time <------

    \m/ \m/'s

  • 37 aliens dislike this SONG!! 

  • omg helotes....go out! dont sit in front of the cpu the whole day!

  • to hell with religion, just listen to this amazing song, and shut the hell up,

  • @Helotes420 jesus your kind of a pompous. enjoy the music man and quit bitching

  • just throw on the headphones--crank the volume, listen to this and forget religion exists...

  • @porpoisefathom I took your advise. I needed that.

  • Comment removed

  • Lots of nasty posts on this page. Probably inspired by Cat's religious choice and not by his music. I have been told that organized religion is at the root of most of humanity's problems. I used to argue with that, but after reading some of these posts I am not so sure that religion is all that wonderful. I used to love Cat Stevens music but somehow all this religion makes listening less enjoyable.

  • @verbenco Well you just have to think for yourself and listen to your heart!!

  • @Helotes420 I am very pleased that you've noticed that my English has improve( I'm taking english classes online). You have confirmed what I said about human communication and that's enough for me. I wish you good luck in your life and courage to overcome the brain damage you have. May God guide to the right path.

    BTW:responding to your comments was a good exercise,so Merci mon ami et Adieu

  • Comment removed

  • @Helotes420 May be I'm unable to communicate in english,but you are simply unable to communicate.

    Rousseau said that the art of communication is not a result of physiological capacity (make sounds) it's a mental abilty.it's first and formost a mental operation.

    AS Cat stevens said I guess you have to take your time ,oh yeah,to reach there!

    BTW I'm tallking about human communication.

  • @Helotes420 you tell me! it's you the english personne here!

  • No one today can touch this.

  • For you my love.x.

  • Why am I borne in the 90's?!! 70's people had the choice between Led Zep, Cat... now whe have to choose between 50cents and Justin Bieber...

  • i've loved his music a LONG time!

  • Wow!!!!

    

  • ok i know cat is a muslim now but why does it matter, really. i like the i dont care what imaginary god this guy prays too but dont you agree it sounds silly to say that about others, imagine a man who just saved a million people from starvation then say ow i dont care what god he worships hes cool. it doesnt matter, god is god, doesnt matter what you call the god

  • realy good makes me rember  my life is not so bad

  • realy good makes me rremenbre r my life is not so bad

  • Such a BRIGHT LIGHT. These songs carry us to the other shore and beyond....right back to our own hearts. Thank you Brother Yusef!

  • l'ho consumato questo LP <3

  • I heard that he said he got out when the music was becoming more about him. He didn't want to be worshiped and that's what it was turning out to be. He certainly has a God given talent.

  • "State of the Vatican City fully agrees that it's not matter of religion, name or race but matter of quality. Aliens also think like that and listen to this artist all the time. Only a few people on earth disturb this pure energy flow especially by posting useless comments on youtube."

  • desde chile un reconocimiento a este gran artista

  • The name may have changed, the years have passed, but the music and the message are timeless

  • Perfect.......................­.....

  • It was a slow downhill from this album. He got out when he was coinicdentally spent musically. I enjoy his new stuff, but it lacks the hunger and power of his earlier stuff. He's relying on his laurels, which is fine, but his creative years are behind him. Their are others though...their are always others, even though they are harder to find nowadays since songwriting is no longer as profitable. (sidenote: Cole kitz does a dead-on cover of this and is clearly very Cat in his writing.)

  • I HAVE TO GO AWAY!......I KNOW!

  • i so love cat Stevens music gives me goose bumps i was about 18 or so when first heard cat, in the middle of the seventies by my older brother truly inspirational music

  • Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • This guy has the most unique voice. This is a great version. Thanx for uploading.

  • though iam in his eyes a sinner,since he decided to be yusuf...beeing gay and i was born like this

    he is so damned sexy !!!!

  • @Helotes420

    I love cat stevens music, it covers all religion if you want to hear it that way, you are entitled to your comment , But does not mean I have to agree, Enjoy the music my friend>

    Peace

  • Helotes - you are embarrassing our great state and Willie Neson.  Do something productive like pray for rain. Give up this rant and calling people names.

  • @Helotes420 Contemp prior to investigation is a bigger problem, Don't knock something you don't understand!

  • Cat Stevens is and has always been a musical genius. There are very few gifted people like him - some are believers in some god or other. Whilst this is not very attractive for a god-fearing atheist like me, sit back and enjoy his talent.

  • Oh, very young he is here! So full of joy for the music...Fills me with joy just listening...:) Later!

  • yeah ! shut up and listen to the music

  • i am not on here to discuss religious bs, i could care a less, the point i was trying to make was, he is the same person, no matter what name he goes by, i don't care, and this has nothing to do with trinity, your entitled to your opinion , just like i am, the man has had an amazing journey in his life,and if he has found what makes him happy, great, i do not know all the rushdie story, so don't lay that on me,i am not about to judge the man, i would just like to listen to the damn song,

  • did u guys come to this site to discuss and bitch about religion, or perhaps it's your narrowmindedness that brings u here, leave out the religion, and let us true cat fans enjoy this, AND SHUT UP , go find a religion bitching site of your own

  • @Helotes420 steave/cat/yusuf/ all the same person, time changes all views and attitudes, but inside he is still cat,how cant they be differant, he has created all 3 people

  • @Helotes420 Dont fool yourself, its not the muslim religion that goes wrong, its the radicals of any religion, the crusades of the english in europe where no better, beleave as we do or die. Religons are only shields that sick minds hind behind. The true beleavers seek only peace in their own lives. How much do you know about islam ? I know I have an kindred feeling with the people of isreal, and I am native american. But what does it have to do with the music ? The music speaks for its self.

  • @Helotes420 ...why did you comment my friend if you seriously did not like this man...I can say one thing however Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islams music is much more pleasant to the ear than your words.

    You get lost!

  • remarkable voice; man.

  • i am surpised there are any keys, strings, whatever, left, after cat gets a hold of them!! amazing man

  • @Helotes420 what ?who's Willie Nelson ?and what I can take ti the bank what are you talking about ?

  • @Helotes420 I'm not a muslim but I know so much about Islam...you are a fool who want to hate Islam because he think that is cool and everybody do that...you must be sorry for you existence.and get lost.you ignorant...and you called me nigger but im not what an idiot.

  • @Helotes420 lol why ?I'm not a muslim you idiot...I'm just make a point

  • Many people (especially in The Bible Belt) think of Muslims as non-peaceful so it is justified and honorable that Cat Stevens became Yusuf Islam.  I miss his hair, full of body and curls, drama and dharma, but he's all grown up now. Check out Father and Son versions where Yusuf sings Father and Cat sings Son!

  • @Helotes420 Mate people do change...and change back again...ck out his interview with "Charlie Rose" some years ago...he has retained his sanity - his music and words are meaningful enough for you to give him a second chance...

  • @Helotes420 you say yusuf should be shot...so that makes you a bad perosn ?...he simbly said if salman lived in islamic country he will be executed by the gevernment...and he wouldn't maynd if thay order him to kill salman rushedy.and just to be clear salman wirted a real bad thing and insult more thin 1.200.000.000 persons

    (sorry sbout my English)

  • amazing man

  • Wow, this is so good.

  • I always think about the A-Team episode when Face wantet to leave the team . . . and this is played . . . one of the best scenes in film history^^

  • @Helotes420 /you are calling for someone's murder you too

    should you be shot? I don't know and figure what :I don't care!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Were is he from? just asking dont rage please

  • @thomaswinzy

    Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou, (born 21 July 1948) originally and commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is an English musician. He is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, educator, philanthropist, and prominent convert to Islam. See Wikipedia for more info.

  • This is beauty for the ear..........

  • thank you god for bestowing such a talent onto us.

  • @Helotes420 Now YOU are calling for the murder of someone. Is that better ?

  • Thank you so much for this video. Just as true as it was in the '70s

  • jst love his song.....

  • Just imagine what would have come from him if he had kept making music like this...

  • The GREAT Cat Stevens....the best! He is one of the greatest influences on my life. Helped me through a few hard times.

  • The great Cat Stevens....the best!

  • my hiking song! I love it!!!!

  • Did not we try and kill the muslims like 600 yrs ago?? Fucks sake...miles from nowhere...let's start again...

  • @polmaccaba01 it was from 1095 to 1291

  • This is the bast song on earth

  • i dont critasize black people or anything but this is waht real music sounds like not that boom boom shit they listin to.

  • @musicman257 more than just black people listen to hip-hop / rap music

  • This man is truly Saintly and has been touched by god.

  • i dont care what imaginary god this man chooses to pray to, it doesn't matter - a beautiful man, making beautiful music

  • @marymaleficent

    If you omitted in the first half-sentence the word " imaginary", then your comment would be much better. Please, next time be more respectful. I know you tried to, but words like " imaginary" relating to God is pretty, pretty disrespectful.

  • @Salih622

    He or she is right though, there is no god, just politics taxes and death,

  • @marymaleficent There's no such thing as an "imaginary" God.. he used to be a christian and now he is a muslim so he still prays to the same God... He didn't change to Buddha, to be praying to a imaginary God...

  • this man's music is all about love and peace. why do people make accusations against him. this man has contributed more to peace thru his music alone than all his detractors combined.

  • People who generalize about races/religions are WRONG. The small TERRORIST faction of Islam who started this whole mess were not the common practitioners of Islamic religion or law...REMEMBER that they were a small group of extremist, fanatic, and radical Muslims...not ALL Muslims....the pizza place down the street is muslim-owned... The owner is from Iraq...I asked him why he left, and he said, "because the radical Muslims were about to get hell rained down on ALL of Islam"! ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!!

  • Thank You Yusef, you brought me courage when i was young, when i needed it most. You are the Prince of Peace.

  • Or you can even listen to Steven Georgio... His real birth name !!

  • Cat Stevens is a seriously talented man. His music means so much to me.It's so honest. I love him

  • I've seen everyone in concert except the Beatles, Hendrix, Joplin and the Doors. Many have equalled, but, no one was better than Cat, and that's the truth.

  • Sign post up ahead read---'Road to Findout' =))

  • Why do we care, music is music, and GREAT music transcends religions and cultures. Cat has managed to do that, regardless of his personal decisions his music is beautiful and reaches generations.

  • That shit is better than sliced bread. God bless the Cat!!

  • voice ....

  • I love this man's music...thanks for sharing your gift!

  • just saying, this isn't miles from nowhere.

  • my one friend said that i look like cat Steven that is true? please tell me

    and check out videos and then compare my self with him.

  • @zaidumer No not really, maybe if u let your her grow and you let yourself grow a little beard like Yusuf in this video, you would.

  • USA is makes up 20% of the world population and uses 70% of her resources...wtf? 

  • sorry Nam but the US accounts for 5% of the world´s population.

  • indeed!

  • His words and music is underrated

  • I've Always wondered how he got So very Wise at such a young age?? The insight is simply Timeless!

  • ATTENTION I FOUND PROVE OF THE EXISTENCE OF A VERY VERY RARE CAT STEVENS CLIP OF ''MAYBE YOUR RIGHT'' I POSTED THE EVIDENCE IN A VID: /watch?v=Eq0b1Xazydg

    PLEASE PEOPLE WE NEED THIS! HELP NOW NEEDED!

    EVERY CAT STEVENS FAN HELP NOW!

    GIVE THIS THUMBS UP SO IT GET NOTICED!

  • Wish I could go back in time and take that Tour.

    Fabulous.

  • Again this live concert from 1976 is Cat Stevens at his best! Great DVD! Peace, BobbyK

  • Far..is a place that not exist...^^...if you dream...^^

  • He wrote about his own budding enlightenment.

  • when you listen to cat play it sounds like he was already on his jounry to become yusuf thank allah that his journy has put him in a place that he has been looking for it just took some time

  • magical. Two very beautiful songs.

  • Where do the children play???Certainly not with the grenades made by Man and strapped to their childrens bodies....For the Children you were blessed with were made to be loved and cherished....God gave NO Man the right to kill another soul...For god Loved all his Children....If we love them from birth...they wont know No badness..And they would have the biggest play ground they could wish for... Brilliant Artist and Song...Love ya Cat...Jessie/Jan xxx

  • @jessie101ist If god did not give man the right to kill another man then why does he allow it to happen every day? If God created us, why allow it to happen? He can stop it happening, but he does not. Either he is a selfish god or you make no sense at all.

  • @MKECBS1 You will find the answer on Jessie/Jan channel....

  • LEDGEEEENNNDDD

  • passion!

  • why there must be always some persons who can't see the differance between music and politic or religion?? We all are people on this planet. Let us live together as brothers and sisters. And listen to the music of Yusuf / Cat Stevens. You will learn so much about life. Just listen to him. Thank you

  • @Zedisch Thank you. There will always be those who live in a box - limited in every way possible - and who entreat you to join them. No thank you. I say be free and enjoy YouTube as it was meant to be enjoyed. Enjoy the music of the young Cat Stevens, and thank the person who put this video up so we could do so.

  • @Zedisch Mi pobre ingles, no da para tradicir lo que leo , pero me parece que es un mensaje de tolerancia, si eres mi hermano, en la musica de cat estevens.

  • @Zedisch Does this mean that you are into sharing all resources on this planet??

  • @jorisewout

    sure we have to share all resources on this planet. We just got this one planet to live and to use. So let us make the best of it. Without war and hate. Just let us try it.

  • @Zedisch Really? I see you live in Germany....if you really want to share you have a lot to do. Good luck with that.

  • @Zedisch 

    INDEED!WE ARE EARTHIANS!!!

  • He's a Force of Nature!!

  • O my god! I cant believe the hypocritical people! So many good Christians pointing the finger at cat Stevens. Organized religion and its puppets have caused more pain and sorrow in this world than anything else possibly could. Instead of paying attention to the peace and love that he sings about the hypocritical morons pick out any negative thing that they can find. Live long Yusaf!

  • Steven Demetre Georgiou = Cat Stevens is truly missed!

    I see when he was younger, he is wearing a christian cross.

    Sad to see that he has changed to become a anti-christ spirit.

    We should in the christian faith, be praying for him. He is still

    loved, by the Lord....just lost for now! I Love him, he has a gift indeed!

    Pray~with me please. Return to salvation Steven-Cat
