what a beautiful singer/songwriter, it's a shame that follish and simple minded people can't just enjoy legendary great music as CAT Steven sang, and now Yusuf Islam sings. i love his music no matter the name... COA ...
This always reminds me of someone I loved dearly, I cry like a baby when I watch this.....Not many songwriters can reach these parts of the heart. Love you too Yusuf.
the main thing your missing here is that not all Muslims blew up the twin towers. that's like blaming all Japanese for pearl harbor, all Germans for the death camps, or all Indians for Custers last stand, the point is that i found that on all the sites promoting peace and Love there are people trying to cause chaos and grief. but at the sites promoting death and destruction there seems to be a lot of support. this makes no sense.
where as I disagree with his choice of worshipping, being a strong minded atheist, I admire his desire to help his fellow man. If Cat was to choose any faith Islam is among the most peaceful. they are not a nation of terrorists. I have only, in the past year, truly begun to enjoy his work but it has given me pespective on humanity. I do not condone to war without just cause. The atrocity that had occured in Iraq and Afghanistan was injust and to the tens of thousands lost I'm very sorry
@weirdguy75 I love Cat Stevens and his music, I am not even remotely bothered by the fact that he is now a a muslim, but I do disagree with your comment on Islam they might have been a peace loving religion at one time but now they have an ever increasing number of hate filled followers and it has been happening for a good many years before Iraq and Afghanistan.
You are the greatest !!! You represent peace . Ignore the ugly posts and keep singing your music that we should all embrass in this screwed up country.
Why is it just one gentle man like Cat Stevens was blessed with sooo much talent? He deserves all the praise that came each and every time he created yet another piece of work, always bordering on the genius.
I'd like to dedicate this song to a little 7-year-old girl who just drowned while playing in a lake in my community a few weeks ago. RIP Isabelle. Peace to her family :(
I think it was the tour after this when my mom took me to my first concert ever- which was to see Cat Stevens for my 14th birthday. I recall his keyboard player Jean Roussell singing high parts. He was such a big guy and our seats were pretty bad-- I thought he was a woman at first! But I loved all these songs.
absolutely beautiful, Cat Stevens ( Yusuf Islam) is one of our greatest singer/songwriters. I hope and pray that our Lord God will bless him, and hear his soul crying out for those who have hatred in their heart. This man walk away from money, fame to seek out life many roads to the truth, but as a christian i feel he has aways to go. but then again, at least he searches, most don't
Possibly the most beautiful melody and lyrics ever. Can never listen to it without the tears welling in my eyes. The kind of love he is singing about hurts sometimes.
@cucurulito check out john frusciante's cover of it, just a couple easy chords but i cant remember what the are off the top of my head. it sounds pretty good
Please, someone tell me where can I learn this song in an easy way, i just love it but i'm not a great guitar player...though, i promise my best effort is someone helps me :)
Saw Cat many many moons ago at The Drury Lane Theatre or similar....your music had a pround affect on me Yousef....no one else ever has...................Go Cat !!!!!
When I chance to hear this song on the radio, or I place the record needle to "Teaser And The Firecat", instantly my breathing slows and I think of the lovers that I never had. Real yearning, you know? Not many musicians have been able to write lyrics (and guitar to accompany) so intense as to "transfer" those emotions to me. I like Cat Stevens, because of that.
To lifeforcenrg -- I know what you mean. I have heard it before, and I was crying by the middle of the first line! Nobody else I've ever heard can pack so much emotion into a song.
man.....i have never herd this song before...and it moved me so much i am crying !..never has a song done that to me... i guess it resonates with how my life is at the moment !...beautiful song
@lifeforcenrg wow i thought it was just me but i was also been moved to tears by this song and for the first time ever! its just beautiful and so deeply emotional.. Yusuf Islam is a legend and my hero :D
@arcticfox89 Same here. It is one of a set of songs that cause me to tear up uncontrollably. Growing up my parents, did this as a duet, and even when they did it, it was the same; magic.
As I see so many of these wonderful performances by so many artists I am struck by a single thought - that it is meaningless to compare any of them with any others. To do so misses the point of art entirely. Just enjoy, folks. Each performance on its own merits.

Such bittersweet memories - I met my future husband in 1972 and he dedicated this song to me. He made me feel so very special. After 28 years of marriage, I lost him. No reader he did not die, he found another. Beautiful, beautiful, lovely, sad but poignant song.
Ah! such bittersweet memories. It was 1972 and I met my future husband and he dedicated this song to me. I was made to feel the most special girl. After 28 years of marriage I lost him. No reader he did not die, he found another. Has anyone got a time machine? - Beautiful, beautuful song
Truly beautiful! - Ah! bittersweet memories of that innocent time in 1972 when my future husband made me the most special girl ever, when he dedicated this song to me. 28 years later, I lost him. No reader, he did not die just left me for another. Has anyone got a time machine? :-)
...... and to think I was the only one that fell in love with this song when my future husband told me that this song will always remind him of me. Thanks Yusaf for making me like the most special person ever!! :-) Choking back tears here, as I lost my husband 28 years later (no he did not die, left me for someone else) Ah! bittersweet memories of those so oh innocent days of 1972. Anyone got a time machine?
Even as a tought metalguy this song touches me emotionally. It's something about his voice and emotions he puts into the music. As cat stevens was one of the artists i grew up with he is still one of my favorite non metal singers.
by far the greatest love song I have EVER heard. And its meaning doesnt have to be just about a girl or a boy, or even a relationship, but anyone you miss with all your dearest heart.
Being a young kid I was astounded by the interpretative strenght of his voice though I never had the chance to see him perform his show. The songs sounded perfect and I could listen to them for keeps in vinylo. Today, thanks to youtube I have the pleasure of watching and listenning this masterpiece and I am still surprised by the power of this artist. Naturaly himself he can mesmerize the toughest person with his talent.
I Started to listen to Cat Stevens music About 40 years ago and never stopped. I am a musician (Piano & Guitar 38 years) and I have always and will always have an enormous love and respect for him and his music. By the way I'm a metal head - but I'll always stop to listen if Cat is playin
Best song from 'Teaser And The Firecat" album imo. Real class, in every sense of the word. He still stands up today, a giant among singer-songwriters really. He writes and performs with ease where others stuggle with it.
Cat is truly one of the most naturally talented singer/songwriters I've ever heard. It's hard for me not to imagine all the amazing material he would have put out the 30+ years he was gone. I know that doesn't matter because he lived his live according to his plan. I'm just glad he chose to re-enter the music world and I don't care what the reason was. He's a treasure.
MrJtgee I am so sorry to hear that. People will tell you that that isnt time to get to know your child but they are wrong. I wish you and the rest of your family all the best.
I play this everytime I think of my daughter Olivia who was taken from us far too early. She was only with us for 86 days 17 hrs and 42 minutes when she passed, but she left a lasting impact. When i hear this song i always cry, but I always feel closer to her as well.
So sorry to hear of your sad loss. Have you seen Billy Joels youtube video "Goodnight My Angel" and Stephen Curtis Chapman's "With Hope" - both reassuring songs of little angels now in Heaven. As a Christian, I believe Olivia's just waiting for you in God's presence. Best wishes
@mrjtgee I'm so sorry for your loss, this song also reminds me of someone I loved very much and lost......it's refreshing to see that someone else relates to his music and not his looks, the man can put into words what I feel but can't express
I love Cat Stevens beautiful rich expressive voice. If you have ever been deeply in love, this song says just what its like when you havent told them, cant be with them and you cant stop thinking about them. Its wonderful.
This beautiful song was used in a fantastic Dutch film I saw many years ago, it was about a young man dying of cancer in hospital. It was incredibly moving and I would love to see it again.
You really got me there. This song hits where it counts. When I first learned to play it I broke down in tears. And I wasn't even in love with anyone. Just alone and missing everyone I'd left behind.
dAYUM....i'M SO into the subltle words of Cat...Islam or not....Cat, you rock....singer/songwriter rock...you understand...I love you and your music...all of it...Islam or wtf ever....peace out
I agree MyzDefy. Who cares if he is Yusef. He will always be Cat Stevens to me..He is Brilliant. I had the pleasure of seeing him in Concert. One of the best Concerts I have ever seen.
Esta canción siempre me hará pensar en mi padre; fue él quien me descubrió a cat Stevens cuando aún era yo una niña...nunca gastaré completamente mis lágrimas con esta canción.... how can i tell you????
Obsessive instrument tuning is perhaps a sign of perfectionism, but in this context I think he would be wrong not to do so, as improper tuning would completely ruin the song for resale purposes - who wants to buy a live recording of an out-of-tune song?
i'm still in love!

I love Cat Stevens beautiful rich expressive voice. If you have ever been deeply in love, this song says just what its like when you havent told them, cant be with them and you cant stop thinking about them. Its wonderful.

I'm always amazed that Cat''s live performances are every bit as wonderful, maybe more, than his studio work. What a voice for every generation.

This beautiful song was used in a fantastic Dutch film I saw many years ago, it was about a young man dying of cancer in hospital. It was incredibly moving and I would love to see it again.

The lovely memories of Biba's Kenny Market, The Marque,Berick St. Those wet shiny streets. Chelsea Bridge at night, the pie stall.
Old friends long departed.
I need to hear this so at times.
What life has brought, what life has become.

You really got me there. This song hits where it counts. When I first learned to play it I broke down in tears. And I wasn't even in love with anyone. Just alone and missing everyone I'd left behind.

Beauty comes in many forms, but I feel the first form must have been sound. Beautiful tones and words. This song brings tears to my eyes. I love it.

I agree MyzDefy. Who cares if he is Yusef. He will always be Cat Stevens to me..He is Brilliant. I had the pleasure of seeing him in Concert. One of the best Concerts I have ever seen.

Such statements nowadays are even sadder, because it shows such a lack of knowledge and misunderstanding about the man and his life.

This song inspired me to learn guitar. Three years later, I am still playing and have started performing. Thank you Mr. Islam for changing my life.

Obsessive instrument tuning is perhaps a sign of perfectionism, but in this context I think he would be wrong not to do so, as improper tuning would completely ruin the song for resale purposes - who wants to buy a live recording of an out-of-tune song?
