Cat Stevens * Lady D´Arbanville * 1970 *

[neringa79]

veey nice song, great singer..... oh, Cat.......

[BobTheMunificent]

watch?v=SywcpHoEPWI if anyone doubts that he wanted Salman Rushdie killed for writing a book of fiction.

What fanatical religion does to a man's mind is a sad thing to see.

[owynferpet]

He was amazing. An artist and poet. The best in the west. Too bad you don't hear nothing from him anymore.

大好きだった曲が、やっと聴けました。ベストアルバム買ったのに

収録されてなかったので、あきらめていました。アップしてくれて

感謝です。

[augsburg99999]

I am very happy to be able to hear Cat Stevens live yesterday, 14.05.2011 in Berlin.

amazing, he sang this song befor my birth and i could hear it yesterday after 40 years from him and Alun Davies war with him too.

Thank you Cat, Yusuf, thank you Alun Davies.

A. from Berlin

[lelenh1]

i love stefanos gewrgiou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vixi92]

Islam saved him from probably death and distruction. He would have been just another Mike Jagger and wood refusing to grow gracefully.I also converted and am so happy

[BouliLeNounours]

@vixi92 It's not the good place for this type of comment ... Here, we speak about music. Don't understand why you can say religion (and not specially Islam) saved him ... Religion save nobody, it's just an illusion. I have no religion and i'm so happy too.This song is just perfect, that's the most important.

[redshirtish]

@BouliLeNounours tell that to Yusuf Islam who used his power as a pop star to threaten death on innocent people...the song says one thing the singer aqnother "burn kill Salmand Rushdie"

[DaKayH]

@redshirtish YOUR closed minded. you don't listen very well. or do you only hear what you want to hear. Never has he,Yusuf, asked any to kill or to kill any one.

[TheGB1950]

@BouliLeNounours I feel the same way but I wish I had some type of faith,I did in my youth. I love this song I know it's about an actress girl friend that left him, not died (although he was close to death years before from T.B.) all this supposedly made him take a turn in his career to his most popular music in the early 70s (when I heard it)

[maiinf]

I am not , repeat NOT a Cat Stevens fan ,but this song is ...gorgeous and i dont think i have ever said that about a song before.

[lennydado1]

fuck the shut up , monkeyfucka

[TheFightstarrocks]

shup up or quit or listen or go listen to bieber instead you morronssss

[KINGMJ1990]

Converting to islam is not the bad thing he did,you have the right to chose ur religion,not others' religion...He should have kept his mouth shut

[xuxixox]

@KINGMJ1990 yeah you're right friend. and for those people who don't understand. Muslim's God Alla, is the same as the Hebrew's God Eli, they just pronounced it differently..

[redshirtish]

@xuxixox Allah came over 2000 after the Hebrews and the name was reused from the ancient fertilty god of Arabs

no the Hebrew God is a just and true "allah" is a copy and has a false text written by many....not the same

[redshirtish]

@MrMigutie being in islam does not give him the right to be a bad person and call for someones death

being a good singer excuses no one for intollerant and bigoted acts

Yusuf Islam and you need to grow up sonny

[sweeeedishfish]

@redshirtish  It was not the first time a newspaper got a story wrong. Stop perpetuating the false accusation. It was 30 years ago, time to move on!

[redshirtish]

@sweeeedishfish

it was not in a newspaper but on TV Yusuf Islam called for the death threat on TV....go look at it....he also said it in two Universities

it was 30 years ago and time he grew up and apologized for terrorizing a family and assisting other muslims in killing people for writing publishing a book......he is a hypocrite

[roditell]

Классная песня! Шел в школу и по дороге часто мурлыкал эту мелодию. Сегодня мне 55, прошло 40 лет, а она по прежнему нравится!

[minitadeboli]

Más que maravilloso...!

[10times2]

Hey, this is a masterpiece of music! Don't ruin it with soap box politics talking about religion or whatever. Just listen to the song, I'm sure much christians and muslims will like it! ;-)

[SachaTheEvilOne]

sweet i somehow managed to miss this cat video

thankx for the upload

[neukertification]

Stop bringing up religion. There are muslims in the world who are peace loving humans and who would not hurt a fly, and of course there is group of them who are hardcore and have to spoil it for the rest of them. There are good and rotten people in the world and the rotten ones have to spoil it for the rest of us.

[timur1lenk]

@neukertification well ..while there are a few Muslims individuals who do terrorists attacks at the same time we have Christian countries that do genocides upon Muslim nations....Palestine, Bosnia, Chechnya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Uyghuristan and beleive me they murdering people there in hundreds of thousands....not only few like Muslim terrorists do. So before you point your finger in to Muslims you better think about ourselves.

[neukertification]

@timur1lenk ..I am not against muslims...every religion has its radicals. True Islam is for peace...not violence..Same with Christianity..but as I said there are a few rotten apples in every group. What a small group of muslims do does not effect the way I think of the rest of them, like I said the majority of them are peace loving individuals. I also believe the wars in Iraq and Afganistan are portrait as good against evil which is a lie.

wow did I miss thAT ERA OF ROCK N ROLL,,,,,nO , THEY ALL LIVE ON THROUGH THE KIND AND TEMPERATE INDIVIDUALS OF A CERTAIN AGE, THAT BELIEVE IN THE MUSIC THEY LOVE. i DECLARE THEM THE TRUE CULTARAL WARRIORS IN A WORLD RAN AMOK OF REVERSE SEXISM, REVERSE RACISM, REVERSE BULLSHITISM(HAHA NOW IT IS TENDY TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT FAILURE)

[peterfunboy]

Good thing she left him otherwise she would now be wearing a Bhurka!

[stevensmajicat]

@peterfunboy

Your name say's it all BOY

go brush your teeth and piss off to bed child.

Ask mommy if you can watch elmo bozo!

[peterfunboy]

@stevensmajicat lolz - a flame personalizing your attack but not addressing the issue of Yusef choosing a religion that marginalizes women. I don't understand why he collects the royalties given the "unclean" origin for what he has described as a "silly" phase of his life.

Your patronizing attitude mirrors the (now) current persona of your beloved fatwah endorsing idol.

[FeminaReal]

@peterfunboy

Why?  His wife and daughters don't. Most Muslim women don't.

[peterfunboy]

@FeminaReal The wife I saw on a TV documentary did. A 1 hour show on his life and she was in it for all of 15 seconds. In my neighbourhood here in Australia about 1 in 5 wear the Bhuka so you are right. No attempt to assimilate and worst the women accepting and perpetrating their positions as second class citizens.

Please understand that my rant is not anti (moderate) Muslim. Yusef Islam /Cat Stevens endorsed the terror attacks on 9/11 and for that he will remain in my bad books.

[CyrilleParis]

@peterfunboy I thought Cat Stevens was one of the first condemning the 9/11 attacks saying, more or less, that in the muslim faith, killing an innocent is like killing humanity

[peterfunboy]

@CyrilleParis Initially he was interviewed and I recall he said the US had it coming or words to that effect. WHen he realized that the western public were outraged at such sentiments he backtracked to a more moderate stance. I suppose he may be Wahhabi though to be honest I've never really explored which branch os Islam he is associated with. I took a dislike to him at that time. A person like him with popular appeal has a responsibility in choosing his comments I think.

[fallingpearl]

@peterfunboy You are such a cock sucker! I am an Australian & as if 1 in 5 woman wear the bukha??? You obviously live in the mosque.....idiot! get a clue leave cat stevens out of your racial slurs! This man has accomplished more than your entire family he is gold. Why do you keep coming back here, since ur not a cat fan??? Jealous much lol

[peterfunboy]

@fallingpearl

Against all ettiquite I will engage your trolling without the need to degenerate to namecalling.

1. 1 in 5 women do in the suburb in Qld I live in. Yes - I work near a mosque but you still don't address the essential mysoginism of the burka.

2. Islam is a religion not a race- slurs are not "racist' (namecalling again? We are not in 3rd grade anymore)

3. My family's achievement (or mine for that matter) are not relevant to the Burka debate- or the corrupting power of religion)

[fallingpearl]

@peterfunboy lmao

1st of all, you have way too much time on your hands!

2nd of all go and pray at the mosque, you seem to be very interested in Islam & the burka woman lmao

3rd of all, you could never get any womanyou pedophile! peter pan likes to have fun with little boys!

Your name says it all.

watch a justin bieber clip & pull your dick, it may just help you feel better.

you frustated old peverted man

yuuuuuuk

[peterfunboy]

@fallingpearl Looks like I hit a nerve. Your limited English skills (LMAO) show you up as a victim of our failed schooling system. On the contrary my time is at a premiuim but I do partake in the occasional flame war as a form of entertainment as I watch inarticulate Gen y-ers mumble and bumble their ill researched opinions with an arrogance exceeded only by their ignorance.

Now- any rational answers to my points? If not- go back to school.

LOLZ LOL LMAO ROFLMAO etc

[fallingpearl]

@peterfunboy Peter pan

Forgive me father for i have sinned, Its actually called an abbreviation honey!

You should know that "mr artDickulate" remeber? LOL.

Yes i am arrogant & ignorant

but only to those who deserve it

& by the way you couldnt hit any thing on me

let alone a nerve baby!

[peterfunboy]

@fallingpearl $25 to love me long time or $15 to love me short time?

You are a shame to your ancestors.

PS. Your obsession with Yusef is a bit scary but given that he's Islamic the fact he's married shouldn't stop you as he can have a few dozen wives I think.

The only Vietnamese girls I find hot are the ones who can speak English fluently. So as we say in Australia: khó khăn Titties

[fallingpearl]

@peterfunboy You are such a sore loser!

(vietnam) wtf are you talking about ?

You have some real serious mental health issues, that's for sure!

p.s i wouldn't let an old prick like you pat my dog for $25

let alone my pussy cat

chow meow!

[peterfunboy]

@fallingpearl tl;dr

[peterfunboy]

@fallingpearl

4. Look at the comment immediately beneath yours as to the achievements of Cat-endorsing a fatwah on Salaman Rushdie

5Don't keep coming back- only come here to reply to comments like yours

6 Not jealous- I embrace women in my society and life- and I do not impose my religion on others -but I will resist those who do. Cat is now a mindless puppet of "greater powers"- a shadow of what he once was.

7. His early music was good-has latest stuff crapbut I cant distance him from hate

[BCantournet59]

This was my very first album... God how good is it! 40 years have past and not a single note to change, everythiong is just perfect....

[DannyDirt1]

This is easily my favourite song of Cat Steven's it is so haunting and beatiful i grew up listening to this thanks to my dad and i dnt think that his music could ever die out it hasnt dated much like the beatles havnt it still sounds fresh and he was far ahead of his time i dnt think anyone today can come close to such an amazing song with just a voice and 2 acoustic guitars

[Ishbell1]

This was written for Patti D'Arbanville a girlfriend who left him, Wild World was also written for her

[TheEnigma7111]

what an unfortunate thing she's done,she must have regretted

[Ishbell1]

I'm sure she must have been. He obviously loved her very much. If you listen to Wild World and know the history you really get the lyrics. She's still around, just google her, her name's Patti D'Arbanville.............

[TheEnigma7111]

i just did..wow is she a beauty.i'm 20 and i recently discovered cat's songs and i'v fallen in love with him and his songs..and im trying to understand his reasons of leaving everything at the peak of his fame to become a muslim, it seems he really knows what he's doing

[Ishbell1]

It makes me happy that young people are listening to his music it is truly timeless. When he was 18 and already famous he got tuburculosis and was in a Sanitorium for a year. He was very ill this brought him face to face with his own mortality. Some people hate him for turning to the Muslim faith. He is not an extremist, does not condone violence. He's won awards for his efforts to bring peace to the world and is a humanitarian who gives a lot to help humankind, I for one am happy for him

[TheEnigma7111]

indeed he's a good man.if im not mistaken he s in the guiness world of record .....and i know that biased media has portrayed muslims to be evil.his son has also started singing, you could check him out, yoriyos is his name,quite a lovely voice too...i feel really lucky that i v discovered such a legend, contemporary music actually sucks...

[jzerony]

I wonder how she felt about being "dead" in his song.

[Ishbell1]

I thought about that also but then thought that indeed love grows cold when one partner is ready to move on and the other not, it's actually a good metaphor for love growing cold. I think most of us have been there, you feel the change and the person is actually cold towards you, in any case it really sucks LOL

[gabimorales00]

Cat Stevens hat meine Teenagerzeit geprägt. Ich bin jetzt 53 Jahre alt. Aber seine Musik begleitet mich immer noch. Dieses Lied, das habe ich so festgelegt, wird nach meinem Tod in der Kirche gespielt.

[magabyv18]

me too! i used to listen this music with my father

[SuperTegen]

this was the music I heard when I grow up..

[fallingpearl]

yusuf islam aka cat stevens

was the greatest hippie of all time!

patti d arbanville should be so lucky to have the majic cat write a song especially

for her....even though he dumped her

still what a lucky girl

[lazmacky]

bad luck to her! as if you would have man like this and leave his side even for a second.......

he is a honey!

[KatAshley2]

The "chick" he's singing about is still very much alive. Her name is Patti D'arbanville, an ex-girlfriend/actress - and he really x'd her out with this song. She says she only went to New York for a few days and he wrote this song while she was gone. Oh well...

[muskndusk]

If that's the case, surely the song is about missing her while she's away and looking forward to her return when he will "wake" her and have his "fill" again? Then he got carried away with the death theme of the song and killed her off in the last verse. Maybe Patti jumped the gun in thinking he'd dumped her. Oh well... water under the bridge...

[neojohn44]

@muskndusk I think it's fille, french for girl

[muskndusk]

neojohn44, that puts a different angle on the song. I had always thought he meant have sex with her - guys are always interested in the morning - but your lyric makes sense too. Do you have the lyrics on an album?

[muskndusk]

I can never work out whether it's her legs or lips which feel like winter. Anyone know?

[MtnGirlCC]

He's singing about a dead chick, so I guess either legs or lips would work here. But it sounds like he's singing "legs" to me. I can identify --- my legs often feel like winter (poor circulation). But my lips are still warm though.

[tikizzia1981]

ur legs feel like winter/ ur skin has turn to wine,,, ////peace

[muskndusk]

Thanks for all the help. I've checked the lyrics on several lyrics sites, they all say  "lips feel like winter, your skin has turned to white" and he'll wake her and she'll be his "fill".

[tikizzia1981]

I try to look for lyrics with no luck, I know is not "skin turn to wine" iwas mistaken s turn to "white" Its easy to hear it in the song The "fil" or feel" i dont get yet ,, .God b with u n im sorry

[lillllbit]

I wish Cat and Patti had made a sex tape...That's one I actually would have wanted to see.....

[KatAshley2]

I'm right there with you Lillibit - lucky Patti.

[Onetonofmayo]

here you have a blond hair and blue eyes singing with a mid eastern and they blend as brothers

All you racists destroy light and prevent peace

That to me is true terrorism

[fallingpearl]

@ one

well said!

[lisa5989]

a sad but really good song .. i love his music ..

[anastasia622]

They don't make music like this anymore, but apparently they're still cranking out the religious bigots. This man never has to apologize to me for squat! His music always graces my ipod and always will

[topperdoggle]

I'm not sure if the "religious bigots" comment was ironic.

[sorry4sorry]

Lady D´Arbanville...only good sond

Ειναι αστείο οι τρομοκράτες να αποκαλούν τους τρομοκράτες...τρομοκράτες...

[youtubyoutub6]

He was naive and ignorant. He never supported the killing. He stated what he thought was the ruling for apostasy and did u see how naive he was when he stated that.

He has always loved children, people, and good. He still does today. Relieve him from one small slip. The man is bigger than that. He truly loves unity of people.

[teegaro]

I agreed w/ you . Cat was young and was caught by the moment when he made that call . We all made mistakes .

[anetheron06]

The greatest terrorist is USA..Do we need any else?

[jpcgl1810]

maybe because she is dead o.o

[JJJadm]

which woman can sleep still watching those eyes you have Cat Stevens?

[JJJadm]

he is an angel

[bago1994]

Cat Stevens is a very peace loving musically talented and gifted musician and songwriter. After he departs this life he will most assuredly go to heaven. I can't say the same about write wing Christian coalition.

[heucatia]

haha Couldn't agree more my friend!!! Very well said indeed! Actually you could add the pedophile catholic priests to that list of yours LOL

Cat Stevens is GRAND!!!!!! He is not perfect, he is just GRAND!!! Love him to bits and always will!!! And as for prejudiced people, I only have one advice to them: Get smarter will ya... ignorance is starting to get tiring and boring these days really..

[klaverflavour]

why dont u all shut the fuck up and listen!!!!

[mvzrocha]

@klaverflavour cheers!!! one of the best songwriters of all time

[aannets]

Wonderful, what a great guy, just love him so much xxx

[MischaFD]

You, my friend, are a fucking idiot. Do you really believe that converting to Islam makes you a terrorist? They're not enemies of freedom, only hardline fundamentalsists are, and they're a tiny minority. Know your facts you fucking douche.

[tahalz]

Hey buddy. Yusuf Islam has helped the poor and the needy. how does he support terrorism. He gives more than half of his earnings to charity. he has visited lots of countries. Muhammed (pbuh) was sent to all nations. The previous prophets were sent to one nation. Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) covered all the messages that the previous prophets sent. He is the last prophet and Islam is his religion. God said to follow the latest religion. Terrorists arent muslims they say they r 2 represent muslims bad.

[CaliforniaBoy1000]

Tahalz;- I see your point, but Hamas is the cause of the suffering of all Gaza. Gaza needs new leadership. Hamas is based on violence. That is why it is disturbing that Cat donates to Hamas and Hezbollah. But I know they do some good too. But why support violence?

[heucatia]

You said it: "Terrorists aren't Muslims", they're just troubled haters with mum issues... and then no world faith/religion can say that never in its History people have used it for the wrongest of purposes. Fake believers who use religion for purposes of war are an evil that has plagued every religion in this world already. Read the History books..

...oh and did I mention that Cat Stevens music rocks by the way lol

[brownson1970]

whats the comment about lassiecox, mmmmnn

this is a great artist/pop singer etc

like your style regardless though!!

be well

[lassiecox]

An example, the white noise of the jewish owned news and music industry, he says nothing, shoved down everyones ears, the record companies buy the radio time and spend a fortune, getting you accoustomed to listening to the great nothing, while simultaneously they steal our manufacturing infrastructure, set it up in slave countries and sell it back to us, reaping the profits offshore, controling our political structure with AIPAC, downsizing our military, stealing our treasury for their military.

This is a wonderful song, with a rare grade of poetry for a pop song. Dalida did a very good French version, and Gigliola Cinquetti an excellent Italian version. In the later, the Lady becomes like a medieval princess condemned to have a short life, and the singer a bard mad in love with her.
