I first saw this film back in the 80's, not long after my second and last attempt of giving up on life as a psychologically abused teen. Now, as a grown woman, I must say that no matter how hard things may be, tomorrow's dawn will always allow its miraculous rays of light to brighten the darkness you are soaked into. Thank you Harold and Maude!
The most perfect love story ever made, it's life affirming. Just one brief scene tells us Maude's life story, when Harold sees the tattoo on her left arm. Heart wrenching. We all need a Maude in our lives.
@@georgelogothetis549 It took me YEARS to finally notice the tattoo on Maude's arm. Even though it was only for the movie, I did cry real tears! And unfortunately, too many people in 2020 do NOT understand!
That added an interesting touch to the story as a whole. Basically, it made me view Maude as kind of a female Viktor Frankl, a person I have always admired: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Frankl
@@wellwisher9817 the Nazis used tattoos as identification numbers for the Jews in the concentration camps. Seeing that, after several viewings where I'd never noticed (on Blu-ray so possibly the quality of the picture was better), gave Maude even more depth. I'm going to watch it again right now.
I start my day listening to this song on days that I don't think I'm going to make it through the day. This song corrects my attitude and makes me smile at times when smiling is difficult.
Such a lovely Love Story, why should age be a barrier if two people love each other. This wondrous film really should be better known. WE ALL NEED A MAUDE XXXXX Ruth Gordon XXXX
i love this movie over 50 years old i watched it again with a friend who has never seen this movie she is hooked thanks cat stevens and all the actors great movie
@@LordGreystoke Maude committed suicide because she wanted to be in charge of her death, as well as her life. Instead of her death being dictated in a concentration camp.
I never saw Harold & Maude until "There's Something About Mary" talked about it being "one of the greatest love stories of our time." Whoever decided to put that in the script was a genius because it truly is... when Harold opens up to Maude about why he is obsessed with death... and the subtle revealing of why Maude lives life to the fullest... I always wished there was a different ending, but I so appreciate how everything in this movie is the opposite of what you'd expect, and yet everything you'd ever expect from true love.
Absolutely. I can be really sad, or angry & annoyed & when I put this on before the last stanza comes 'round, Im dancing & singing out loud & remembering not to take myself or life too seriously 😅
I hope that Cat Stevens has peace in his life now. He had such a great and beautiful singing voice. I saw him in a concert in Mobile, Alabama, in January of 1976. He sounded so great, almost like he was on the radio, or in some recording studio.
I watched the movie with my first girlfriend and we liked to sing this song together. Twelve years later I still get some tears in my eyes whenever I hear it. :)
Son, 45 years later (I (born 1956) first saw the movie in 1974 in Germany) and I´m still getting wet eyes listening to Cat´s great song or when watching the movie.
This was always my favorite song of Cat Stevens. This movie, Harold and Maude, one of the best comedies ever made, is how I first learned of this artist. I was hooked after seeing the film.
Hello I live in Cam Mass I watched this all through the 70's their used to be a Bar That Had Free Movies & popcorn,& dancing down stairs loved it ..any way they used to play Harold & Maud ,a lot I had seen it at the Movies, but always loved it. I would check the leaflet,& go the nights it was playing,so young in the 70's &Now Still young at ..older' lol ,Still boogie & date ,love life,,nice to meet you Pam
This is one of those movies that I know every pithy line. It's also a soundtrack to my younger days. I've read the posts below and with tears in my eyes I see that so many, many, people course-corrected with this song. I feel each of you and hope that you keep this song close. It's the best! I always think of Harold and Maude enjoying the silliness that is our life. ENJOY! If you wanna SING OUT, SING OUT! Much love to all.
Lovely song coming from a good heart - makes me smile, makes me want to really be free. And Harold and Maude is the bitter-sweetest film. That Maude is such a character, and such a life- teacher for poor Harold.
Every birthday? The first years he won´t understand you, but sure like the sweet tunes and melody … Can you play guitar or how you perform? Will you name him Harold?
Those that came because of the Jeep commercial.... Cat Stevens has plenty of great tunes mostly from the 70's. I like "Peace Train" and"The Wind". then there's the famous "Morning Has Broken". Excellent stuff!
Martyn H the whole of the "Teaser and the Firecat" album is incredible. "How Can I Tell You" is one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. A great artist.
My personal ""happy song". Thanks, Cat! I carry it with me since this movie was released. If lifts my heart and my life worn spirit flies freely for a few minutes until my next injection of this positive masterpiece. Put it on and look up into the clear blue sky of daylight or the mystical starry night sky and tune into this message - doesn't it make you feel better?
My favorite scene from the movie, which I saw in the theater when it was released, is when the priest/pastor is lecturing Harold about how disgusting it is to visualize him committing carnal sins with Maude. Now, it would just simply be a cougar on the prowl, finding her prey.
Love this song and video. I posted it on on my dearest friend's page. As I'm shortly going to be completing my sixth decade on this planet, I think I have learned what's important in life. This song kind of says it all. Thank you for this lovely video.
I love this movie because of the leading lady. Secondly it remind me of my numerous love relationships with many people from all walks of life and different backgrounds.
I soo love this song, I remember singing it and other Cat Steven songs in my kitchen long ago when my son was little. So uplifting! I will have to watch this movie playing, looks good!
This is without question one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Sure is
Yes, it's the best I've ever seen. It goes under my skin 🙏
What's the movie?

The inherent and lasting message from the movie is that one should live with brazenly joy, without worrying about conventional thinking.
Yes its a good one. Love.💞

Harold and Maude literally saved my life.

Somehow? It's been my favorite film since I first saw it in 1981!
Harold and Maude is probably one of the best movies ever made, I love it!
Absolutely brilliant soundtrack, written by an absolutely brilliant soul, for one of the most meaningful movies I have ever seen ❤️
Man I absolutely love Harold and Maude
I want this song to be played at my funeral.
When ?
Me too My favorite movie & music
Me, too. I had it put in my will ... really!
Totally cool!
Ditto
Young man craving for death, old woman craving for life. What a masterpiece
If she was craving more life than why does she commit suicide?

I have real tears in my eyes
I always find if you are feeling down.This song will always brighten your day.

Like to go to midnight movies to see this and sing along.
This movie speaks to me in ways no other art did before. Harold and Maude, where have you been all my life?
Arisome 🙌☘️
God I love this song..Cat makes me feel strong enough to keep living!
Full tear jerker. Defined my life. Cured teen angst.
I saw this on TV in 1980's- my favorite movie!❤😊Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort❤
FROM HAROLD AND MAUDE THE BEST MOVIE OF THE 70'S
And so unknown still
Favorite movie....this song always makes me cry.
I dedicated this song to my daughter cuz when she grows up I want her to know she can be what she wants to be
This is one of those movies that I know every pithy line. It's also a soundtrack to my younger days.

REMINDS ME OF MY CAREER CHOICES, BACK IN THE 1960'S. BUT I THINK I TURNED OUT GOOD. RETIRED POSTAL WORKER, & FUNERAL DIRECTOR.
Some songs were number one, songs that had a stamp on history, songs that triggered a feeling in our hearts ....this song stands the test of time.
I can't remember ever having such a good time watching A movie in a long time since Swiss family Robinson
This movie saved my life more than a few times.
One of the most best movies of the cinema' s history.
Love this music- Cat Stevens- and loved the movie! Best!!❤
Lovely song coming from a good heart - makes me smile, makes me want to really be free. And Harold and Maude is the bitter-sweetest film. That Maude is such a character, and such a life- teacher for poor Harold.
Magnificently tender----both the SONG AND the movie.....................
One of the best movies of all time. In my top 2!
Love this song and I loved the movie. That woman was a character by all means.
You´re talking about Maude, Ruth Gordon? Yes, she´s one of the greatest actors! She lived to be 88 years young! R.i.P.
I love this song with all my soul. It makes me so happy
Such a brilliant film. So dark yet funny. And what a great E type Jag Hearse!
One of my favorite all-time movies! Cat Stevens music was perfect for this film
I love Harold and Maude especially this part with this song 😊
Love this movie!
Favorite movie ever.❤️ Just watched again 2021
Perfect song, and perfect movie.
Tears of bittersweet joy.
My son will be born a month from now, ill will sing this to him
Every birthday?
The first years he won´t understand you, but sure like the sweet tunes and melody …
Can you play guitar or how you perform?
Will you name him Harold?
how is he?:)
A good decision .
Sing it loud.
Did you sing it to him?
Un amour fou entre deux êtres d’un autre monde des histoires dingues une musique aérienne et voila un chef d’oeuvre dont je ne me lasse jamais jamais
Simple music sometimes could be the greatest , like this song ! 💗💗

what a song. what a movie. thank you!
Emily Simms it's from "Harold and Maude"
+Hannah B'nana hehehe yep one of my fav films to boot!
Love the song, love the movie.
Cat Stevens is my favourite songwriter of all time and it's a film I rewatch every year or so
I really love this movie. Time to watch it again.
I remember this film as being about a young man and an elderly lady. Now I'm not seeing an old lady! She wasnt really that old!
My favorite scene from the movie, which I saw in the theater when it was released, is when the priest/pastor is lecturing Harold about how disgusting it is to visualize him committing carnal sins with Maude. Now, it would just simply be a cougar on the prowl, finding her prey.
Such a great movie!
Video from the movie Harold & Maude (1971)
Love that movie.
Chris Bowen. on the best movies of all time
Chris Bowen amei gostei
Play that at my funeral
Outstanding
My all time favorite love story❤️
Quem assistiu esse filme na época e no cinema, não esqueceu nunca mais.... um grande privilégio de minha geração.
Just brilliant.
I love this upbeat positive song. Only recently saw Harold and Maude on TCM.
What a brilliant shot! look at the two trees and how they match the characters. This is a great movie and song!
cat stevens is still cool
Quality music and films are always timeless !
The song encapsulates a whole of life philosophy which could be interpreted as, 'Don't sweat the small stuff.'
One of my favorite Cat Stevens songs from one of my favorite films. Thanks for posting!
Peace, This song lyrics, words, and background are all TIMELESS.... :) :) :)
The most important song in the world to me.

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see, ah ah ah
It's easy, ah ah ah
You only need to know
Well, if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see, ah ah ah
It's easy, ah ah ah
You only need to know
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are

Watched this film in my film as literature class. Such a great movie

"H & M"... A movie to dream. Thanks, Hal Ashby, Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort. Unforgettable. Paolo RP. Biella(Italy).
If you are a guy and you don't understand this beautiful film. You're missing out on life
So true. The same counts for girls, by the way. You are missing the essence of life, if you are not getting the value of this movie.
Great movie and song. Hal Ashby and Cat Stevens - the best!
Beautiful timeless song. Tnx Mr. Stevens! :) 👍🏻👍🏻
This movie is a keeper! 1st saw 42ish years ago-just rewatched! WoW so good x
