[@mohammedkhizr5255]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, especially when you learn who it's written about

[@Wildlonesome77]

There should be no talking while this great man sings.The great and wonderful Cat Stevens.

[@elisejones1715]

Love you Yusuf Islam !! ❤❤🙏

[@leonardolarios175]

I like this song, it talks about things that only those who live them understand. I grew up in my parents' and siblings' house with the music of Cat Stevens. Golden season.

[@katmandew56]

You woke up the world, with your music. You woke up our hearts with your love for the World. Thank You Yusaf.

[@miralabualjadail4206]

Song about the prophet Muhammed Sallah Allahu Alhi Wassalam ❤️

[@banglabird]

his voice is so pure and sweet just like his soul

[@nickyferguson9063]

Well that has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[@diadokmai]

~~I look, I look, I look, I see~~ That was my first lyric from song I heard from my teenage time. And now, my children love Yusof Islam/Cat Stevens's song even more.

[@ryanharris7606]

My hearts too broken for love songs, but I'll be damned if I ever skip a song written from the great Cat Stevens. One of the last things my heart can truly enjoy.

[@irfandidjailani700]

This is the love about Muhammad SAW, the greatest human being ever lived.

[@GROUP1GAV]

"The words that you say, lightens up the burdens of the day!"... so, so true! What a beautiful song this is, along with all of the songs on this album - awesome!!! This song could have been recorded 35 years ago with the rest of his classics, it is such a touching song, but it also rock's man!!! I love it - I love it all!

[@786humaira1]

Soo much passion noted in his voice and face,he just takes you along in the song. That is YOUSUF.

[@MacBetul]

Yusuf Islam Cat Stevens is a role model. His songs are timeless. They have very nice words/messages. Thank you for your art and thanks Allah (God) for your heart/soul.

[@Hammster69official]

The beauty of music is that it has it's own life, and can mean different things to different people. You could take Yusuf's word when he says he wrote this for his wife ("makes us (Yusuf and children) want to ever follow (the example of a life well lived) you (Fauzia)"), or you can interpret it to mean following the teachings of the Last Prophet, and neither meaning would be wrong.

[@irmacrespo7292]

When I hold your hand I could fly a zillion miles with you When I see your grace I can see you're God's words come true Every little bird above the haze and fish beneath the waves Knows about you, wouldn't they do When I see your eyes I can see rainbows in the sky Being with you all who parted reunite Every little pearl drop in the clouds and stones beneath the ground Are waiting for you, wouldn't they do Whatever you say lightens up the burden of the day Whatever you do makes us ever want to follow you Whatever they say, whatever they do I'll always love you Every burning comet that zooms and angels too Think about you, wouldn't they do Thinkin' 'bout you I could climb a mountain in the dark Listenin' to you flowers dance in the park Whatever they say, whatever they do We'll always love you The words that you say lightens up the burdens of the day Whatever you do makes us wanna follow you Whatever they say, whatever they do I'll always love you

[@leavemealone8017]

irmacrespo nice

[@Zeupater]

Still writing good music. Nice sounds Yusuf!

[@hildaalderton4513]

I looked up for the book you are reading there and found it!!! Muhammad by Martin Lings right?? I love this song!!!! And started reading the book.....

[@macvill1x]

Cat Stevens - Yusuf, es the best. My life has been influenced by his music in a very significant way, since I was about 13 years old. This song is beatiful. Thank you.

[@missFindlesticks]

this is one of the sweetest songs ever, I'm guessing he is singing to a child or grandchild, total innocence

[@ghanemhussain1011]

I’m pretty sure the song is about the Prophet Muhammad. The book featured is a biography of the Prophet Muhammad written by Martin Lings. The chapter heading @2:03 gives it away.

[@ghanemhussain1011]

In any case, a beautiful love song.

[@missFindlesticks]

@@ghanemhussain1011 I heard this beautiful song before seeing the video, I do believe this song can apply to the love of anyone, anything or everything that exists, It can be personalised I guess if you have never seen this video but you my friend are very possibly right in what you say

[@786humaira1]

Full of admiration for this song. Thank you . Thank God for sending you into this world in our times. To look at you sing this song is peaceful. To hear you sing this song is so peaceful. May the God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus son of Mary and Mohammed give peace to entire Humanity, in our times. Gandhi Ji worked for truth , and independence and removal of an Oppressive regime , and God rewarded him with the independence of India. May God reward you and US with : Lasting Peace for your efforts.

[@satanthegreat-cometohell1378]

Amen/Ameen.

[@MyEyesBled]

Peace ☮️ to you Dear Yusuf for all the gifts your music has brought the 🌎!

[@cathyangel6142]

I am coming a little bit late to Yusuf's musical return from the 2000's, but wow, he didn't lose a step with his incredible musical gift. I love the melody and lyrics of this song and find myself humming and singing it quite often, as great songs usually make us do!

[@theprinceandthefrog2335]

Lovely song and lyrics.

[@SamHaugen]

Whatever they say, whatever they do, I will always love Cat Stevens. Bearded or not.

[@C4Punnyjooneepers]

This is such a beautiful, moving song.; it is a good feeling when one can feel their heart. Peace and love to you, Yusuf / Cat Stevens

[@Ponchiegomezsaso]

Every burning comet that zooms and Angels too... think about you .. I love that

[@niazi16]

My heart never seems to want to depolarize when I hear his beautiful voice (or see him sing) SubhanAllah! I am in love with a man of a different time and yet he lives in the present.

[@ericcontreras2491]

Es increíble el enorme talento que siempre ha tenido este gran cantautor ingles: todas sus canciones son muy hermosas. ¡¡Un gran abrazo desde Chile para ti, querido maestro!!.

[@Behishta22]

Wonderful human being!! You are my hero Yusuf Islam!! Your songs brighten my day!

[@ycandrewsen8851]

one of the most sincere love songs of our lifetime.

[@dianainco]

Cat Stevens or Yusuf.....Awesome....the hate doesn't penetrate the love of the music....

[@rizwanrafeek3811]

Diana Avery "the hate doesn't penetrate the love of the music" what hate?

[@dianainco]

***** People that write hateful things about him because he became a Muslim. He's all about good and love. :D

[@rizwanrafeek3811]

Diana Avery "write hateful things about him because he became a Muslim. He's all about good and love. " I couldn't agree with you more on that. I presume you must be a christian, then naturally you believe that God subjected mercy and salvation upon crime against humanity in the killing Jesus, is that right?

[@mth12mth]

Hey guys, enjoy the song :). Please stop fighting about your belief and religion. Come on.. it is a song, not a discussion about religion.

[@KarenDallett]

Outstanding - the love you have for humanity rings so strong in this song. I listen throughout the day in San Francisco at Pachamama ! You have been divinely sent.

[@PeaceTrainHati]

Whatever they say, whatever they do, we'll always love You! :)

[@sushmatarciladecastro2610]

love so much this song..even more since i felt what it´s about. beautiful Yusuf

[@yusuf1608]

Much love to the big cat Yusuf! What a splendid track. May he be preserved and make more beautiful music that transcends and unifies. Big Salam Paul

[@larryroven29]

Every song is honest & personable>>I especially appreciate his face which expresses a depth of sensitivity wonderful to feel----Love YOUR music. YEH....!

[@YvonneBurggraaf-555]

I can feel the love in your heart

[@786humaira1]

Love this song. Whatever you do , makes us want to follow you.

[@Aurarisma]

[@johnkawaja2976]

absolutely love cat s. ever since I was a kid. still my fav

[@petery47]

The best song I've heard in a very long time.

[@thiaanthony]

Thinking bout you is a beautiful original song. Some of the lyrics were carried through from thoughts YusufCatStevens had when he was a teenager.

[@mervemerve3597]

So beautiful..So meaningful...Thank you Yusuf Islâm 💞⚘⚘⚘

[@Cinderella999-l5r]

the things that you say,,,the things that you do....we'll always love you....

[@SunShine-vk9ek]

I love this song very very very much it's makes me as a butterfly

[@ianmccluskey2293]

I loved his music, lyrics and style along with the persona of the man. He's a year younger than I, but oh, so much wiser. The needs millions more like him - whether you know him as Steven Demetre Georgiou, Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam. He is and always will be a man I look up to.

[@kay0392]

Lovely comment!

great singer and great man

[@rubiynkarfunckel2367]

[@suhailahmad1332]

Amazing human being who realized the truth..I wish people who admire him will also tread upon the path that he chose for himself..God bless..much love!!🙂

[@nathanielthestrange7407]

This is true. Every breath in his songs is filled with hope. I love his music for that reason.

[@Debbi221]

Will always enjoy his music Forever new & old

[@auntiewawa]

Awesome!!! So happy he is making music again.. Can't wait to receive the RoadSinger CD!

[@qadeerhanid6032]

Yusuf, you are a remarkable person. Live long and prosper.

[@dashjeffreys6998]

If the world could be filled with more men like him, more love, more peace. If only the tide could turn and we as the human race could realize war and hate is useless. If only the human race were the only race.

[@magikknights721]

we are just one species, if you believe the Noah story [his wife, 3 sons and their wives] that's 8 people. We are all cousins! learn to forgive and love all our family is important.

[@Ronobuildstech]

PERFECT

[@kelliisbell9820]

Great therapy. His music brings up feelings that where so long mashed unforgotten and dismissed=. Thank you Yusseff

[@Hammster69official]

He still finds inspiration from the loves of his life. Just as "Lady D'Arbanville" was written for Patti D'Arbanville, and "Sweet Scarlet" was written for Carly Simon, this was written for his wife (m.1979) Fauzia Mubarak Ali.

[@abrar123ist]

[@Bianca-yt7pd]

I have looked online for songs he wrote to his wife, but couldn't find any information, any clue of songs he wrote to his wife. Where did you get this information. I'd love to know what songs he has written to her.

[@pargamer7928]

Nope, it was written for the Prophet Mohammad(phuh). look it up...

[@alifnajwan6834]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKSQhKajaK2SiZo 3 minutes and 42 seconds into the video, he said that this song is indeed dedicated for Prophet Muhammad pbuh!

Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens - a Legend // msA.

[@thepelican7557]

I love the poem. I hope I am understanding the poem correctly. The poem is EXACTLY what it is. It is one whole and complete motif. If it is supposed to have contingencies of meaning, I wouldn't like it as much. It is so clean. A ZEN cool drink of water. Nothing before, nothing after. Truth enough to ba wonder-full peom. And, don't worry Zen isn't a religion it is a physical activity of not thinking, rather -just belong with the world.

[@runeguy277]

Yusuf you are a great man, i wish everyone was like you, i love you!

[@sharonborley5408]

Its interesting yusuf underneath all the noice i always hear you so peace be with you too. i never thought id ever say that because i didnt feel worthy of saying it but i feel differently now .take care

"The world is in dire need of man with the mind of Muhammad; religious people in the Middle Ages, due to their ignorance and prejudice, had pictured him in a very dark way as they used to consider him the enemy of Christianity. But after looking into the story of this man I found it to be an amazing and a miraculous one, and I came to the conclusion that he was never an enemy of Christianity, and must be called instead the savior of humanity." George Bernard Shaw. Legendary playwright. ·

[@magikknights721]

The best of speech is the word of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), for he is the most perfect of Allah’s creation and he is the leader of the Messengers. He instructed us to adhere to his guidance, as he said: “You must adhere to my Sunnah.” His teachings and his Sunnah show us the best example and guide us to the best of manners, especially in his interactions (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) with the followers of other religions. See: as-Seerah an-Nabawiyyah as-Saheehah by Dr Akram al-‘Umari (1/272-291) in which he analyses the document in more detail. " the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) acknowledged the rights of the Jews and Christians. Those who think that disavowal of the distorted religion of the Jews necessitates mistreating them and taking away their rights are mistaken. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) accepted the presence of the Jews in Madinah and wrote in the constitution of Madinah: “The Jews of Banu ‘Awf are one community with the believers,” and he guaranteed to them all kinds of rights: (a) the right to life: so he did not execute any Jew except one who committed an act of treachery and betrayal. (b) the right to choose one’s religion: as he allowed them to carry on following their religion, and he did not force anyone to become Muslim, acting in accordance with the words of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted (interpretation of the meaning): “There is no compulsion in religion” [al-Baqarah 2:256]. He wrote in the constitution of Madinah: “The Jews have their religion and the Muslims have theirs, their freedmen and their persons…” (c) The right to own property. He did not confiscate the property of any one of them; rather the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) approved of the Muslims doing business with them. (d) The right to protection and defence. It says in the constitution of Madinah: “The Jews must bear their expenses and the Muslims their expenses. Each must help the other against anyone who attacks the people of this document.” (e) The right to fair treatment and standing up against wrongdoing committed against anyone. This is affirmed in the constitution of Madinah in which it says: “To the Jew who follows us belong help and support. He will not be wronged nor shall his enemies be aided.” The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was fair in passing judgement, even if it was at the expense of the Muslims. When the people of Khaybar killed ‘Abdullah ibn Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not rule that they had to pay the diyah (blood money), and he did not punish them for their crime, because there was no clear evidence against them. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) even paid his blood money from the wealth of the Muslims. The story is in al-Bukhaari (6769) and Muslim (1669). When al-Ash‘ath ibn Qays and a Jewish man referred a dispute to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) concerning some land in Yemen, and ‘Abdullah did not have any proof, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) ruled that the land belonged to the Jew, on the basis of his oath, as it says in al-Bukhaari (2525) and Muslim (138). (f) The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) even given the Jews the right to refer for judgement concerning matters amongst themselves to their own religious laws, and he did not oblige them to follow Muslim laws so long as both parties in the matter were Jewish, unless they referred the dispute to him (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and asked him to judge between them. In that case he would judge between them according to the laws of Allah and the religion of the Muslims. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “So if they come to you (O Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)), either judge between them, or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot hurt you in the least. And if you judge, judge with justice between them. Verily, Allah loves those who act justly” [al-Maa’idah 5:42). 5. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) treated all people well, including the Jews. Allah, may He be glorified, enjoined fairness, kindness, good treatment and rendering back trusts with the Jews and others, as He, may He be glorified, said (interpretation of the meaning): “Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity”

Thinking'bout you Lyrics(words)🎧 🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎵 When i hold your hand, I could fly a zillion miles with you. When I see your grace, I can see you're God's words come true. Every little bird above the haze, And fish beneath the waves, Knows about you... Wouldn't they do. When I see your eyes, I can see rainbows in the sky. Being with you, All who parted reunite. Every little pearl drop in the clouds, And stones beneath the ground, Are waiting for you... Wouldn't they do. Whatever you say Lightens up the burden of the day. Whatever you do Makes us ever want to follow you. Whatever they say, Whatever they do, I'll always love you. Every burning comet that zooms, And angels too, Think about you... Wouldn't they do. Thinkin' bout you, I could climb a mountain in the dark. Listenin' to you, Flowers dance in the park. Whatever they say, Whatever they do, We'll always love you. The words that you say, Lightens up the burdens of the day. Whatever you do, Makes us want to follow you. Whatever they say, Whatever they do, I'll always love you 🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎵 👍Like this comment🔻&🔻 🔴Subscribe Our Channel🔻 🎬LEARN ENGLISH BOT🎬

[@Hammster69official]

When trying to interpret this song, some go for the obvious and say he's talking about muslims following the word of God when he says "Whatever you do / Makes us ever want to follow you". But it could just as easily mean Yusuf, Hasanah, Asmaa, Maymanah, Muhammad (a.k.a. "Yoriyos"), and Aminah, following Fauzia's example of a life well lived. It could be interpreted either way, and that is the true beauty of a beautiful song. ^_^
