He is so awesome, always so brilliant but also always so humble. A truly poet whom has been deliverd from an utterly and distan will. My greetings for you Cat. Yusef.
Wow! I wish there was an instrumental so I can sing this, I also might sing someone like you by adele. I think cat steven/ yusuf islam (in respect to his new name) has quite a rich choice. EXELLENT!!!!!!!!
I'd forgotten how much I loved this song back when it first came out. Thank you for posting. I need to break out the old Cat Stevens albums more often!
dude what ever life you chose to to go too. dude, you were a and still are a fantastic composer and song writer, man you are loved. I will always enjoy your music.
this song has a very english flair about it,it is a song about the love of life and the new morning ,and day.it is also about determination,and persistance in ones endeavors in life.
@colby197 It's open to interpretation of course, but I think it's about growing up; the increasing responsibility of work as one moves from childhood to adulthood. Reminiscing about the old days "We'll soon remember if you do, when all things were tall, and our friends were small, and the world was new", yet not forgetting the beauty still present in every new day.
What gets me about this song is the way he's not singing it joyously, like you'd expect from the lyrics. There's all this pain in his voice; it's like something awful's just happened, and he's trying to convince himself to go on with life despite the overwhelming sorrow. It makes me think of the way you feel when you're driving to a funeral, and you look out the car window and see that everyone is carrying on exactly as though nothing has happened.
I loved this song the first time I heard it, but it was my niece who picked it to be played at my mums funeral, we all agreed and it turned out beautiful.
And to think that this man was recently denied entrance to the USA because of his political point of view........sigh: what a mixed-up world we live in..
i think dawud wharnsby's version is better, but the song-erm, i guess-is ok
