@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.
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 !

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.
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.

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...
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........
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
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.
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!
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.

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.
@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
@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!
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
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."
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.)
When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten. Thumbs UP if you agree. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth of life.
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
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>
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.
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.
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.
those who are mixing religious topics into pop music discussions must be brain washed, this is no f....n bible course, it´s popular culture, a priest free zone for fun and relaxing, but note this not mean pop and rock lyrics can´t deal with beliefs, but that´s another substance
@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.
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

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.
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.
@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!!!!
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.
When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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......

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.)

When we wake up to the truth of life, inspired music like this will emerge and flourish again, and all the uninspired crap that people call "music" these days will fade away and be forgotten. Thumbs UP if you agree. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says to learn the truth of life.

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.

@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.

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!

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!!!!
