You just can't be a superficial soul when you compose such a masterpiece

[@aleonimation]

the dude literally quit music for almost 30 years to dedicate his life to his religion, i dont think someone would do that unless they truly believe in what they believe in

[@shella5963]

Played this on repeat for my husband in his last 24 hours earthside. He was a huge Cat Stevens fan. Saw him live in Melbourne in the 1970s. I think us playing Cat's music on repeat in his last 24 hours helped him pass over. I like to think that was the case

I LOVE CAT ! I HAVE FOR YEARS SINCE THE EARLY 70'S I WISH HE WOULD TOUR AND COME TO NEW JERSEY 😊😊🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

This song is a masterpiece. Thank God he came back! It is bringing back so many memories from my childhood.

What a great artist and singer/songwriter. Loved him then, love him now.

[@pocopico7409]

I always loved this song from “Catch Bull at Four”. I remember sitting in my dorm room when I was a freshman in college in 1972, listening to this song over and over, trying to imitate Cat. And I had no idea it was him playing the piano on this song. I thought it was someone else in his band. I always enjoyed Cat’s aggressive “growl” in the old days. Enjoyed hearing it again at 1:12 and other places in the song. That’s one of the things that made Cat Stevens’ voice so distinct. No one could sound like him. 😀

[@rosemarygranat2928]

Thank God he made it

[@cyryc]

that was before he devoted his life to a kiddy diddler. Are you a fan of kiddy diddlers?

[@sophielumpp4043]

Still so young and powerful ❤❤❤

One of my very favorite songs! 🙏👏👏

His music is so soulful. It holds a special place in my heart💜☮️

[@marialobo8810]

Yusuf is amazing, he gets better and stronger as he gets older, his music is healing, a balm to our souls

[@ronfreeman5857]

Strange how songs, that were composed, so long ago..by a younger mind/singer song writer.. are still played and relevant in today's world....

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

He had an old soul even as a youngster. His music still speaks to me 50 years after it was written. Amazing.

[@lizreinhold]

I love this song. I think slower on my way physically but spiritually speed of lightning.

[@newyorkcitytrucking1215]

I could write an essay about what a good song this is Wonderful to see, even if we don’t need our eyes to see!

[@rosafrau85]

La mia canzone preferita.... intatte le sensazioni che suscitaanche a distanza di tanti anni... 🌹🌹

I love this song ❤️ Why didn't A Cat's Attic come to Sweden? 🇸🇪 I'm still disappointed about it. I was almost sure this very special show should come to your mother's home country, hoping for a DVD 🙏

[@djamaluddin]

I like this one. The intro is also on the single "to be what you must". Yusuf has lived the life of a dozen men.

Man, I love your songs, I respect you converting, I'm not at all a fan of religions, but if it makes you happy and grounded, it's fine for me. Always gonna listen to your songs, old and new. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing, composing, singing. Best wishes for this times of change, Yours Jens

[@alices.lassen8442]

A beautiful song really

[@Defrancie7]

Perfect song!!! Love love love this song❤❤❤❤

[@Zonday88]

Fun fact....This song was the original choice for the theme music of BBCs 'The Office'. Able to secure the rights from the label, Ricky & Steve had it rerecorded and covered without vocals. The simplistic yet euphoric Mundane key notes a perfect silliloque the match the bleek monotiny that permiates the themes of working a boring office job. Unfortunately, an agreement with Yusef's camp could not be reached to continue with the cover, so we were treated to what eventually became the instantly recognisable theme song "Handbags & Gladbags" by Rod Stewart instead.

[@OwlBeef]

Perhaps my favorite song of all thus not strange that I'm missing the dry edge from the original, but what a remarkable version.

[@oullahtakanbghikhbibadialiawil]

he used to sing in the original"i thank the moon i had the strenght to start" now that he s a muslim he says "i thank god i had the strenght"

[@Pinkeye82517]

That’s right. Like Abraham. The moon is part of creation and not the Creator

1:40 I noticed he changed the verse "I thank the moon" with "I thank God" :)

Cat Stevens, una leyenda del pop británico que se convirtió al Islam hace muchos años, un periodista le preguntó en una ocasión: "¿Qué dices sobre el Islam, que permite a un hombre casarse con cuatro mujeres? ¿Cómo puedes aceptar algo así como occidental y músico ilustrado?'' Él respondió: "Afirmas conocer mi estado anterior. Antes de ser musulmán, estuve con tantas mujeres que ni siquiera sé cuántas eran, ni siquiera sabría si tuviera hijos de estas mujeres. Cuando llevaba una vida tan depravada, estabas emocionado por mí. Ahora me he convertido en musulmán y solo estoy casado con una mujer. Tampoco tengo la intención de casarme con una segunda. Así como el Islam ordena y permite al hombre casarse con hasta cuatro mujeres, también le impone una serie de deberes con respecto a las mujeres y los niños. En Occidente, no existe tal responsabilidad. Un niño no conoce a su padre y un padre deja este mundo sin siquiera ver a sus hijos y quizás ni los conoció alguna vez en su vida ''. كات ستيفنز أسطورة البوب البريطاني الذي تحول للإسلام منذ سنوات ، سأله صحفي كيف تقبل الإسلام الذي يسمح للرجل أن يكون له اربع نساء ، وانت رجل غربي وموسيقي ومثقف ومستنير فأجابه لابد انك تعرفني قبل اعتناقي للإسلام كنت مع العديد من النساء لدرجة أنني لا اعرف عدد النساء اللاتي أقمت علاقات معهن ، ولا أعرف هل لي من هؤلاء النساء أولاد او لا ،وبالطبع انت ايها الصحفي كنت تحبني وسعيدا بي برغم هذه الحياة الفاسدة لكن الآن انا رجل مسلم متزوج من امرأة واحدة، ولا أنوي الزواج بأخرى ونظام الحياة الاسلامي عندما يسمح للرجل أن يتزوج بأكثر من امرأة يفرض عليه الكثير من الواجبات لذلك،واجبات متعلقة بالنساء والأطفال ،ولكن في اوربا لا توجد مثل هذه الامور لأنه يوجد ابن لا يعرف من يكون أبوه ، وهناك أب يغادر الحياة ولا يعرف ابناؤه وربما لم يقابلهم مرة واحدة في حياته

[@mikelheron20]

Great song but I prefer the original lyrics.

[@daylefloyd6404]

You certainly dont play the piano like you once did...when your whole body played it

[@Daniel.W.Bridge]

he changes the chord so far from here, with here, in these Yusuf concerts, he makes a major chord, then he goes on and do it as before in the others verses. for some reason.
