Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Where Do The Children Play (live, Majikat - Earth Tour 1976)

[@purplebike100]

Am i the only one that thinks his voice is liquid gold and it makes my heart ache?

[@Lynore_Marie]

My all time favorite Yusuf/Cat Stevens song. He was so ahead of his time, writing a song, at such a young age, with an incredibly profound message. The song is more relevant now than ever. The new recording and video for Tea for the Tillerman 2 are brilliant.

[@Silly_Donkey_Goose]

Agree

[@josephsliger3308]

I've thought the same thing.​@@Silly_Donkey_Goose

[@estellej1829]

it's amazing how the music industry has changed since then - it was so much different in those day (no fancy dancy on stage or fancy clothes just great music)

[@Vicky-fn2ru]

What a beautiful man he is

[@Cinderella999-l5r]

Let's face it..the whole show was pure Magic.... wish those days were now

[@shanemarquand9582]

Too right wish I was around back in those golden years hopefully music will do a revolution and go bact to said days

[@kazilziya830]

Growing up in the turbulent 60s wasn't all magical but. , peace and love were bad words then like they are today. But my generation was on a mission and it caught on big time. I'd like to believe we made a difference which can work today if people work together. Peace

[@dougdoherty1565]

My job is to bring those days back again for good

I so love this song!!! My father raised me from his prison cell. Yusuf, you were like a surrogate Father to me. I found so much peace and love in your songs. Anytime, I missed my Dad I played your music, he was Sicilian and you both resemble each other. When I told my Dad, your music takes my sadness away he hugged me so tight, he was so grateful I chose such a wonderful man to follow. When you made a choice to follow Islam, my Father told me that he was Sicilian by birth, Moroccan on his Maternal side. He explained to me, that Muslims were forced into Christianity or face imprisonment or death, we had ancestors who split sides. He loved knowing that YOU helped keep me in good spirit and I found you at such a young age of 6, I was born in 65, your music has guided me, has soothed me. Such a wonderful gift to live in the same lifetime as you. I truly don't know how I would have gotten along without your words of wisdom and guidance. Thank you, for a lifetime of enrichment, thanks for being my "other" Dad. You will forever have a special place in my heart and Soul ❤

[@cheri1910]

[@serenitygilles7064]

omgosh when that curtain lifted....😍🤘

[@lanicollins4768]

Nothing but love and respect for this man!

[@buffedtrainer1]

One of Cat's BEST songs

[@asokanponnusamy]

Cat Stevens is not just singing. He is a man possessed. Possessed of goodwill towards humanity.His anguish shows here. His music, I honestly feel, is better than the Beatles' or Stones' which could only mean it is the best. I know I am going to draw a lot of flak but.... If I were a believing man, I would have said he is a gift - a special gift - from God. May he live until I die.

I hope there will always be a place for children to run free and wild, in a healthy environment. This song meant a lot to a young woman, a friend, who sadly passed away. This song will forever remind me of her ❤️

[@debzacher1332]

I could listen to this wonderful artist every day all day! What a pleasure it is to have him back again!

[@sharonmassetti265]

[@jenniferrandolph4115]

I was at this show/tour at our old Capital Center in Landover, MD. It was... MAGICAL!

[@Ponchiegomezsaso]

I know we've come a long way.. but we forgot about the children and how to treat one another. I pray we can somehow find a way to connect and to remember that we are all here to love each other. This song helps us to think about that. Thank you Yusuf

[@timheathfield2261]

Well said Sandra we plough on regardless without any thought about tomorrow and our children x

Cat has always been my favorite singer for her songs and performances. A man with the greatest social, spiritual and environmental awareness all in one, he has taught us a lot and few in this world have learned and understood his messages.

Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Where Do The Children Play - My Poetic Response From 2003: In Response To Cat Stevens Earnest Question By Ric A Ohge (c) 2003 Where do the children play? By thousands of sewers. running through the mud of shanty towns. In meadows of imagination beside the untiring machines of thousands of factories. In secret visions dreaming beneath the earth, or in steep pits wielding picks and hammers to yield the earth’s bounty. They laugh wondering at butterflies, brightly colored blossoms, and insects in the baking heat of the ripening fields, chasing maimed pets and friends among fields of land mines and the mass graves of a hundred wars, dodging the slings and arrows, automatic gunfire and artillery shells, seeing flights of angels in the thunder fire of jets circling the burning cities. They gaze in wonder as they stare back into the compound eyes of the relentless flies, while drifting to a still and final torpor in the dust of a third world pest hole, running…hiding among broken buildings with wooden guns, and their parent’s words, fighting bravely in mock battles, until errant projectiles topple them forever. They mostly run through the golden fields and shining hills of heaven where it seems to the angel of death, they arrive daily by boatloads-these war babies. That’s where the children play. This is a response to a song-actually one of my favorites, as in it's time it addressed a real quandary. However time keeps moving, the question needed some new answers in a world grown more dangerous to children and other living things. That was 2003...now we have Yemen, Gaza & Palestine-JUST for starters...the "angel of death" must gob-smacked by now.

[@MoonStarsLove]

Beautiful Song The man I met today looks a lot like HIM ,I know it's not though. He was looking at me to see if I was looking at him. ❤😊 Totally Gorgeous

Well I think it's fine Building jumbo planes Or taking a ride on a cosmic train Switch on summer from a slot machine Yes, get what you want to if you want 'Cause you can get anything [Chorus] I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? [Verse 2] Well, you roll on roads Over fresh green grass For your lorry loads Pumping petrol gas And you make them long And you make them tough But they just go on and on And it seems that you can't get off [Chorus] Oh, I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? [Verse 3] Well you've cracked the sky Scrapers fill the air But will you keep on building higher 'til there's no more room up there? Will you make us laugh Will you make us cry? Will you tell us when to live Will you tell us when to die? I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play?

Where Do the Children Play? Cat Stevens Bueno, creo que está bien, construir aviones gigantes Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes O dar un paseo en un tren cósmico Or taking a ride on a cosmic train Encienda el verano desde una máquina tragamonedas Switch on summer from a slot machine Sí, obtén lo que quieras si quieres Yes, get what you want to if you want Porque puedes conseguir cualquier cosa Cause you can get anything Sé que hemos recorrido un largo camino I know we've come a long way Estamos cambiando dia a dia We're changing day to day Pero dime, ¿dónde juegan los niños? But tell me, where do the children play? Bueno, ruedas por caminos sobre hierba verde fresca Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass Para sus cargas de camión bombeando gas de gasolina For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas Y los haces largos, y los haces difíciles And you make them long, and you make them tough Pero siguen y siguen, y parece que no puedes bajar But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off Oh, sé que hemos recorrido un largo camino Oh, I know we've come a long way Estamos cambiando dia a dia We're changing day to day Pero dime, ¿dónde juegan los niños? But tell me, where do the children play? Bueno, has roto el cielo, los raspadores llenan el aire Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air ¿Pero seguirás construyendo más alto? But will you keep on building higher ¿Hasta que no haya más espacio allí arriba? 'Til there's no more room up there? ¿Nos harás reír, nos harás llorar? Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry? ¿Nos dirá cuándo vivir, nos dirá cuándo morir? Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die? Sé que hemos recorrido un largo camino I know we've come a long way Estamos cambiando dia a dia We're changing day to day Pero dime, ¿dónde juegan los niños? But tell me, where do the children play?
