  • it is about a daughter leaving a father, actually cat Stevens really wrote it for his daughter

  • it's always a goodbye song. for me it's the saddest one ever. i listen to this song always when i have this horrible feeling that something is reaching end. baby, it's a wild world..

  • Is this about a lover leaving a lover or about a daughter leaving a father? What do you reckon?

  • my art teacher brought me here!

  • skins brought me here

  • It's in Oranges and Sunshine too... you should watch that.

  • Ooh baby baby its a wild world <3

  • wonderful....

  • @everyone thank you so much for the love. :)

  • I discovered recently that he was half Swedish and I was overjoyed

  • i have fallen in love with the part between 0:00 and 3:21

  • Great song, Great performer, all that needs to be said, damn kids always have to find something to bitch about... assholes

  • So...sad.

  • who cares if he is a muslim he should always be remembered for his voice not his religion choices. and thats why he will alway be an amazing singer in our hearts it a shame but its his choice not ours and lets leave it at that. he was and will always be one of the best singer of our time

  • @bringmehorizon5 I'm sorry. Why is it 'a shame' that Cat Stevens chose to believe in one non-existent omnipotent being over another (though let's bear in mind it is the same non-existent omnipotent being featured in a little book called The Bible)? Your comment is very self-contradictory: it's all bollocks, therefore irrelevant.

  • @Noartiste there is no shame in becomeing a muslim i chose to become a catholic but what i was saying was its how his music changed from this amazing song to a wierd song but ya he can be a muslim or even no religion at all for all i care

  • He wrote this song about the actress Patti D'Arbanville, who he was in a relationship with at the time.

  • Thanks for a clean nice post no Frils as the say!

    Love the piano, Martha My dear.

  • Me gusta!

  • motrinman19 just because they dont like it dosent mean we have to be mad at them

  • that episode was great :(((( best seasons ever 1 and 2

  • Skins :)

  • And you thought it's easy to get by just upon a smile.

  • : , ) wow!!!

  • it'is a wild world....but stll beautiful

  • a lot of bait and shade for sale and shady salesmen and one person has integrity and everyone now tries to laugh it off for some reason

  • uuuh baby baby it's a wiiild world *-*

  • nip/tuck and skins

  • Ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους τροβαδούρους της rock, αδιαμφισβήτητα ταλαντούχος, τρομερά επίμονος, ανήσυχο πνέυμα! Και φυσικά υπήρξε η τέλεια έμπνευση για τους μετέπειτα σύγχρονους καλλιτέχνες που προσπαθούν να τον μιμηθούν & φυσικά να τον ξεπεράσουν!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Πολλά respect για σένα Στέφανε-Δημήτριε, Steven Adams, Cat Stevens, Yusuf Islam ή όπως αλλιώς θέλεις να σε αποκαλούν!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • @makiana1975 Eνας υπεροχος τραγουδοποιος,πολυ σπανια βρισκεις τοσο ταλαντουχους μουσικους τις σημερινες μερες.

  • skins

  • I think it's the best love song ever

  • He has a wondeful voice.

  • I hope all the children out there,that are being neglected and abused in some way hear this song.I also hope that the cycle of abuse will end and the deaf ears and blind eyes will hear their cry,s and see and feel their pain.

  • 52 people are Wild in this beautiful world .l.

  • @kevincebollas Only 52?

  • I knew about this song before Skins, and yeah I love Skins. But what's important is that I love the song, no matter how I got here -_-.

  • i knew this song before he was born.....look how cool i am

  • Whenever Im pissed off I play this song and vent. feel much better afterwards (:

  • Cat is so right, it is a wild world. I know I've been there.

  • thumbs up if you don't know why the fuck thumbs up was invented on youtube

  • i love muslim men

  • Beautiful from beginning to end a true masterpiece!

  • i love willy

  • see. this Is a problem about using a great song in a great .T.V show, People who haven't seen the show Are going to be dissing it because It now stands for this song. which It doesn't. Skins used It great. But It was a Great song before skins used it. SO SKINS FANS, CAT STEVENS FANS, LETS ALL COME TOGETHER. and say this song Is great no matter how you heard It, Its the fuckers who disliked this song who we should be fucking mad At.

  • @motrinman19 You've got a great point, but how bout we stop being mad at eachother all together and just enjoy the song for what it is. I think that there's enough anger in the world to last a 1,000 lifetimes. We're wasting so much time being mad and angry at eachother, that we're missing out on all this great music and for what? We're never going to agree on everything, but so what! Let's just sit back, relax and at least agree to enjoy this music while we have it. Peace. :)

  • @motrinman19 i love how youtubers are always fighting, oh interwebz you so funny

  • @motrinman19 and Mr Big sang it beautifully 2 but I stand with you pal and celebrate the very best version, the original Cat Stevens :-)

  • @motrinman19 You are so right. That is why Paul McCartney was so upset when the late Michael Jackson bought Northern Songs (Beatles Catalogue) because Jackson was selling songs like Hey Jude for commercials!!!! THIS IS AN AWESOME SONG, THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

  • @motrinman19 who the fuck said they were mad at each other? stop making ur own bullshit... ur feeding the fire.

  • @motrinman19 U mad bro?

  • @kevincheatwood1 Shut up you unoriginal cunt.

  • @motrinman19, Nice one Motri, never even watched the show but your analogy is quite correct, by the way I'm 58 years old, started my teens of as a Mod, into soul, Motown etc, taught my self to play drums, with soul may I ad, onto progressive rock, into contemporary folk, onto hard rock etc etc the list goes on, point being movie producers will allways use lyrical and emotive songs to pad out video, no point in falling out about it.

  • @motrinman19 wow You're awesome...

  • @fargu1to thanks bro. lol.

  • @motrinman19 It was also used in Nip/Tuck brilliantly too. It is such an imaginative, memorable song.

  • oh baby baby its a wild world. <3 lalalalala

  • it was my nan's favourite song, so im here to commemorate her

  • great voice..great songs..enough said..

  • this song is so ... <3 i love it!

  • capolavoro

  • Thumbs up if all the current and in the future past top comments are/were retarded. Who the fuck gives a shit about skins? This is just a very beautiful and emotional song which to people here meant alot to them in their youth.

    I just happen to love it. It's a true song. Love.

  • איזה שיייר !

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SOSOSOSO MUCH

  • I don't care about mtv or skins but if shitty tv gives people awesome music, I think it's a fair trade.

  • WTF is Skins? Like is it being said in a racial term or is it a movie?

  • @14ParkWayDrive14 Some tv show.

  • @14ParkWayDrive14 Its a British tv series they used it as a finale song in one of their episodes.

  • @chessman117 cheers mate i ended up looking it up and felt stupid after it haha.

  • @chessman117 that episode made me cry

  • shawn david sameulson just killed his mother with a pick up she bought him while being released from hitting her in the head with a steel rod three years ago.

  • @PEOPLESNATION78745 Why the fuck did you post that?

  • @5swords3 cause shawn David and Cat Stevens where really good friends

  • i dont even know what skins is

  • thats cat when he was younger - maybe around 18/19, before he grew his beard and long hair..

  • Maybe its just me, but ever notice how all the "I loved ___ song before ____ made it popular again" comments start pouring in right after said thing reminds people of the song.. like they want us to believe they weren't reminded about it the same way we were..

  • this song made me cry....

  • i know this song thanks to skins uk BIG FUCKING DEAL

    dont make comments about it if you dont give a fuck about skins

    this song is amazing either way

  • @zohreluvstyler

  • Is that Cat or the uploader's picture?

  • @ConfusedSponge

    its cat when he was younger without the long hair and beard

  • @ForeignerSuiteLover I thought it was him. I prefer the 70s him. More attractive and manly. He's still a great musician anyhow.

  • @ConfusedSponge I agree 100%

  • We're all here for the same reason, we think the song is beautiful. No one cares if you grew up listening to it, if you heard it on Skins. Just shut up and enjoy, yeah? c:

  • Thumbs up if you don't CARE if a person discovered the song 40 years ago or yesterday, you're just glad they have the pleasure of listening to it now.

  • He converted to Islam;changed his name to Yusuf Islam and basically fell off the play charts in the Western world or at least he did in the US. And that's what the "haters" are about. I loved his music before that and still do.
