I sang this song to my first love in the 9th grade.... I was 14.....At 69 years old I wake up in the middle of the night....And I get up close to her and I still sing this song.....
This came from our generation of peace, love, tolerance, and forgiveness. We didn't shoot kids in schools. We didn't shoot people in grocery stores. We advocated PEACE, LOVE, ACCEPTANCE. We didn't own guns. We had the courage and the guts to love.
Yes, yes! You’re absolutely right. Each word and intonation is perfection. I live in NYC, and today my wallet and identity cards were stolen. This song is the only thing that has brought peace, comfort and love back into my heart.
Lovely song this song went right in my head back in 1971 when it was out I was only 10 back then I was into other music like slade and Marc bolan but listening to this song now make think of my past 😢 and we're did it go I've become so sentimental and I for my lost youth great song and sung brilliantly
I first heard this in 1976 when I was 16. My boyfriend, who was away for months in the navy wrote to me and told me to listen to it , he said it was how he felt. We've been together for 48 years!
My high school girlfriend introduced me to Cat 6 years after we broke up. We're in our mid-forties now and she's newly single.....she is still the girl of my dreams.
@philippayoung3336 How can you not know you are loved when your beloved says "Listen to this song".....And you listen....and you hear it...And you KNOW!
My husband couldn’t tell me that he loved me . He wasn’t brought up with love or affection . After 41years of marriage he finally told me through this song ❤ Thank you Cat Stevens 😢😢 1:24
Was für eine schöne Geschichte. Habe Ähnliches erlebt .Immer wenn ich ins Auto stieg hat mein Mann mir ein besonderes Lied abgespielt .😊😊Er konnte es Anfangs nicht aussprechen dass er mich liebt.Ich habe aber verstanden.❤❤❤❤❤
Wir waren 25 Jahre zusammen bis er gestorben ist. Habe mir die CD von seinen Songs,die er mir immer vorspielte ,gekauft .Schön,dass jemand auch so etwas erlebt hat,wie ich . Erinnerungen sind so wertvoll ❤❤❤❤
Your music comforted me as a young girl going through horrific abuse. I had a transistor radio that I hid under my mattress. At night, I would stay up late into the night listening to all the best artists of that time. While I enjoyed the music I heard through my little radio, your songs were the ones that made me feel safe. Thank you so much. To this day I play your music and am so grateful that you've shared your incredible songwriting and singing talents with the world.
How old is 70s music cat Stevens Neil Young Bob Dylan and all heart and Fleetwood Mac and rod Stewart so many different artists have been the part of my life all the soul music that I've listened to let me tell you what they've all been a part of my life to this day and I'm a 67 year old man and I won't stop listening❤
He so touched my heart as a young man, There was such sensitivity and profound sadness combined with a beautiful voice and presence. Our generation was so lucky to have these great artists.
This is pure music and after all these years it still gives me goosebumps. It's even more relevant now that my wife passed away in April 2024 it was so sudden that I never got to play this at her funeral. Cat Stevens will always be one of this country's greatest song writers and this song is right up there with the greatest love songs of all time.
I'm happy that cat Stevens picked up his guitar again after all these years I was playing all his own music I think it's just wonderful that he sees the light and he's got his gift and now he's done walked his roads and now he's happy to be back welcome back cat Stevens we love your music❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My fiancé passed away December last year and this song has hit me massively. Cat/yusif’s music has helped me so much. Thank you so very much yusif ❤️ we played how can I tell you and sad Lisa at her funeral.. thank you again yusif
She is in a better place. I lost my sister to suicide 20 years ago, and her son (my nephew to overdose) in 2019 I know they are somewhere far better than this world. I do miss them dearly.
Me as well. It makes me think of someone I haven't seen in a long time and knowing that I never will see him again and he just lives right down the street. There are no words I can say that would make him even talk to me.
He has soothed my Soul in my teenage yes and now at 67 yrs old he still does! Love this touching and meaningful song so much.God Bless u All who are here!❤
I remember discovering this song, and how much it moved me. We were so lucky to have music like this growing up. It really shaped our lives in a way that we can never explain.
Perfect said about this song-I saw him in person 1973 in New Haven, Ct. he had a Moonshadow behind him when he was singing -then a train when he was singing Peace Train and it went on for all his song
I'm celebrating his 69 birthdate together,born the same year and he's still by far my favourite singer. I wish him many more years of Heath and happiness .
This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battle with cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, life could be so unfair most times but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people. She’s always in our hearts
Oh yes yes yes! I have always loved Cat Stevens songs! They really are just so beautiful! My brother knew Cat Stevens and said he is a really nice person!
I miss you Dad! I miss you Dr. B! I miss you Albert! I love you Ned! I love you! I am sad that you’re not there. But I know that you can hear. Thank you Cat ❤ you know exactly how to tell us that we are loved eternally. Soli Deo Gloria !!
I was 16 and working after school at a job for $1.25 an hour. The first check I got in the ‘70’s from my job I bought a Cat Stevens album. I listen in the morning before school, at night, every chance I got. I loved this man and his music as a young girl. I turn 65 today and started out the day with my favorite artist. Yusuf/Cat Stevens. His music brings back so many memories. What a wonderful man and incredibly gifted artist. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I missed you but I’m glad to see you back performing occasionally. You moulded my mind and heart you kind man. Thank you.
I lost mine too and you will get there but keep playing the songs that remind you because, everyone I mean everyone needs a real good cry. Also try and remember the real good times ❤
I am 70 and I had a dear friend back in the 1970s who introduced me to Cat Stevens and it dawned on me recently that he was gay and he just couldn't tell me that this song tells of how he felt towards me. Poor Michael, he as his father did, died young 41 I believe and this song always brings back lovely memories. He got me into motorcycles and we took off on a loooong ride to Northern NSW on our Yamaha 350 R5s.
Songs like "How can I tell you" were my only companion in the 70s as an adolescent girl who was very unhappy. I have no words to describe how your music was my only solace during those days. I don't know if you will ever personally see these words but I truly hope you do so you understand what impact your music had on most of us at that time
as an adolescent girl discovering his music now I am just in awe... songs like this one, Don't Be Shy, Sitting, King of Trees (I could just list every song of his from here honestly..), they strike something deep within me. I wish more people my age were exposed to these gems
I know a lot of married people hold this song sacred to their relationship but for me this song is sung by someone to a deeply loved person who can never actually be had but remains impossible to ever be attained. The feeling to me is almost religious, like approaching to God impossibly.
He did confuse alot of people back in the day including myself, I'M so glad hes still around, i played and performed his songs. Where do the children play being a personal favorite, and still all too relevant 50 years later, thank you
I play this for my late husband...10 yrs you've been gone...l miss you and love you so much...you never get over loosing someone you love..especially when they're so young...sleep in peace....Xxxx
November... My fiancee is probably thinking "How gay.". Lol. I just sent this song to him. Always loved it in the early 80's. (He is more into hard rock.)
A Salom a Lakum. Beautiful, Yusuf. Takes me back to when I first heard CAT. He blew me away. Such beautiful words straight from his heart. Some of the most memorable songs ever written.
It’s incredible for such a young man to write a song like this ! I would love to know in what circumstances he wrote it . This song seems to spring out of his heart litteraly
I am 43 and I heard this song for the first time today. Strange that Ive never heard it on the radio, but I'm glad that I heard it today, as it makes me thank god for my beautiful wife, and the love I have for her. Absolutely beautiful song.
Better late, than never. Check out his album “Tea for ,the Tillerman”. As a young woman, I wore this record out. At 71 yo, I listen to Yusuf & my youth flashes through my mind.
wow what a sad song? Love is the greatest gift we have to give to others in this place we call the world. Love and forgiveness is the greatest healer in the world
Cat was as good as singing and songwriting gets. This could be the best love song ever; definitely in the top 5. And Alun Davies....what a perfect accompanist to Cat.
After Vietnam how could it not? It was what we needed then but it continues to resonate. I was 29 when this song came out. (I'm 6 years older than him).
I remember when he was at the height of his musical fame, back in the seventies. I thought he was the coolest guy on the planet. This is one of the world’s great love songs.
Who is there listening to this beauty even in 2021.? Although it's a sad song but still I am in love with this song.. It reminds of a love I still thinking of even after 50 years, he is still in my heart & thoughts everyday.. I wished I could tell him how much I loved him. Cat Stevens has been always one of my favorite Singer. Nr. one: My Lady D'Arbanville, Nr. two : Bitter Sweet, Nr. three: Oh, Very Young, and not forget this altimated love song. It still gives me goosebumps. Love from the Netherlands.
This song is Cat Steven's most beautiful song. I don't know why, but there is a magic, but also a sadness in the song. The stage environment and Cat's voice are very impressive
The line 'wherever I am I am always walking with you and I look and you are not there' has got to be one of the saddest lines in a song. It's a great song though despite it's sadness.
Trying to talk to my astringed daughter of 40 years, and still cant stop the flow of endless tears, I battle to find the right words that feelings cannot be described.....
Gawds Love U, m' kindred Soul... ...be in honour, or otherwise admit to where thee was not... ...All will be fine, Mssr. And when the point in time when ol' fat man sings", in this we must each trust, m'm kindred Bro'. 💝❣️❤️🔥🎼
There is something in his songs directly inspired from Heaven. And his voice, absolutely unique. Hearts are deeply touched by most of his songs.Tears fall down. You created for all generations and times. God bless You Yusuf for all you have done for humanity.
I believe he was singing to God all his inspiration coming from above , listen to the line in ' how can I tell you ' he says ' and still I kneel upon the floor ' Thank you cat / Yusuf you truly helped me in my journey I saw my daddy collapse I front of me aged six my daddy was 43 years old it happened in 1973 after he died I was horrificly abused traumatized torched , I've completed trauma therapy recently and my therapist told me I'm abuse free from humans for the first time at age 57 , I feel blessed and humbled to be here I'm learning to forgive .🕯️✨🌙

What can l Say about Cat. I was 13 and My country ( Chile) was crying. But Cat was the only one who gave to us( teenagers) something to believe. Love!!!!
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written. I saw Steve Harley perform it last October 2023, as usual it made me cry, and I feel so blessed to have seen that. I'd love to see Yusuf perform it, but don't suppose I'll ever be that fortunate.
I played this at my sister’s funeral. My dad used to sing your songs to us at night in lieu of reading. I still listen to them to this day. Love the storytelling of them ❤️

Ein Lied, das anschaulich ausdrückt, was man fühlt, wenn man einen geliebten Menschen verloren hat. Unendliche Traurigkeit. 😢
Ou simplement quand on est loin l'un de l'autre... J'aime beaucoup cette chanson. 👍
I sang this song to my first love in the 9th grade.... I was 14.....At 69 years old I wake up in the middle of the night....And I get up close to her and I still sing this song.....
I was 18, and it's always the same emotion . I'm now 69, and I tell those "out of time" magic words to the woman I love. She discovers, each time
This is the sweetest thing
You are a very lucky man
❤
@Wendy Fischer I'm laffin!....She wears a C-Pap and I don't a bit of rest!...😂
A genius. Magic, love, peace and the most moving songs ever.
This came from our generation of peace, love, tolerance, and forgiveness. We didn't shoot kids in schools. We didn't shoot people in grocery stores. We advocated PEACE, LOVE, ACCEPTANCE. We didn't own guns. We had the courage and the guts to love.
So true. And people wonder why there is so many mental health issues.
Yes, good old days when love ruled..😊
☮️💙
Except for the atrocity that was the Vietnam War
@@leafyroxthat was the government...not the people
It’s the most beautiful love song ever written and performed. You’re hearing directly from Cat’s soul here. No intermediary. No filters.
It is beautiful and so is Songbird Christine McVee and First Time Ever Roberta Flack. Yep it's certainly up there
I love you Jennifer StClair
I play this song in memory of my wife Teresa almost every day. She left this world last October. Thank you . This song says it all.
So sorry for your loss, we always have a song that just "gets" us, during times of loss.
Condolences to you. I hope Teresa's energy is with you.
@@robfink6050 Never in all 72 years of my life have I heard love expressed so beautifully.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard - I'm 37 years of age...

I have never in my life seen a singer inhabit every single word of a song like this- with such pure passion. This performance is absolutely perfect.
Yes, yes! You’re absolutely right. Each word and intonation is perfection. I live in NYC, and today my wallet and identity cards were stolen. This song is the only thing that has brought peace, comfort and love back into my heart.
@@melindalevine Really sorry to hear what happened to you. Happened to me, too, years ago. Like your comments. I super like Great Gatsby, too.

Absolutely
Same here as a woman that grew up in the sixties. We had great voices then. Wish the kids today did.
Agree. I forgot how much I still love this song. 🥺
yess..i miss that times
Autotune ruined the music industry
This song was played at my wedding. I am 74 years old! Loved Cat Stevens’ music!
One of his more beautiful songs.....yet I love them all as much today as I did back in the 70's.

His music touched my soul as a teenager. And as an aged soul it still does.
Hi my boys are 31 years old twins and they grew up with Cat Stevens from my husband and me 🎉

So talented I’m so glad I was in this time of classic songs never to be repeated.
This is one of the most heart-wrenching love songs. Yusuf represents everything music should be. He's gently laid bare his soul through his music 💖

Cat Stevens was THE singer for dreamers as I was in the 1970th.
Maybe now is the time for this kind of music to return ?
it was never really away

Yes indeed. That’s how it hits me also, in a very personal way.
You are most possibly correct.
He's such an essential figure in the evoluton of popular music. Never valued enough for his contribution in my opinion.

He is in every hall of fame regarding music so I think he is not doing too bad roger.
He did confuse alot of people back in the day including myself, I'M so glad hes still around, i played and performed his songs. Where do the children play being a personal favorite, and still all too relevant 50 years later, thank you

Strange that Ive never heard it on the radio, but I'm glad that I heard it today, as it makes me thank god for my beautiful wife, and the love I have for her. Absolutely beautiful song.
You're a little young to have heard on the radio. This was current in the early 70s.
Better late, than never. Check out his album “Tea for ,the Tillerman”. As a young woman, I wore this record out. At 71 yo, I listen to Yusuf & my youth flashes through my mind.
wow thats nice to hear and that you appreciate your wife so much.
Same, I'm 39 just heard it for the 1st time today.
Lani Hall also has a version of this song. Check it out..
What a beautiful song😊
Aww, that's beautiful.❤
Still my favorite artist of all time.
wow what a sad song? Love is the greatest gift we have to give to others in this place we call the world. Love and forgiveness is the greatest healer in the world
What an exquisite love song. I can't stop crying.
Cat was as good as singing and songwriting gets. This could be the best love song ever; definitely in the top 5. And Alun Davies....what a perfect accompanist to Cat.
His songs still touch my heart even after 51 years
Love, like time Claudia, has no measure
Yes... Claudia... his music is so beautiful....the soundtrack to my life x
Hear, hear.
And mine at 72 years.Same age as Cat.
After Vietnam how could it not? It was what we needed then but it continues to resonate. I was 29 when this song came out. (I'm 6 years older than him).
I remember when he was at the height of his musical fame, back in the seventies. I thought he was the coolest guy on the planet. This is one of the world’s great love songs.
Who is there listening to this beauty even in 2021.? Although it's a sad song but still I am in love with this song.. It reminds of a love I still thinking of even after 50 years, he is still in my heart & thoughts everyday.. I wished I could tell him how much I loved him. Cat Stevens has been always one of my favorite Singer. Nr. one: My Lady D'Arbanville, Nr. two : Bitter Sweet, Nr. three: Oh, Very Young, and not forget this altimated love song. It still gives me goosebumps. Love from the Netherlands.
One of the masterpeace of Cat youssouf
This song is Cat Steven's most beautiful song. I don't know why, but there is a magic, but also a sadness in the song. The stage environment and Cat's voice are very impressive
The line 'wherever I am I am always walking with you and I look and you are not there' has got to be one of the saddest lines in a song. It's a great song though despite it's sadness.
Listening to cat stevens is like getting the chance at the end of your life to speak to your first love....
What truly wonderful definition ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
What a beautiful comment
My favorite song, makes me cry all time. Makes me think of my daughter.
Me too!
I just liked my own comment
Duydugum en guzel ask ezgisi. The most beautiful love song that I never heard. Thank you Cat Yusuf, Seni seviyoruz.
Aynen dostum
Evet , ..Melek muzik gibi ✨🌙
Beautiful lyrics ❤❤❤
Trying to talk to my astringed daughter of 40 years, and still cant stop the flow of endless tears, I battle to find the right words that feelings cannot be described.....
I know exactly how you feel. Same here. When I listen to this tears automatically come. Maybe one day we will be reunited with our daughters. Peace
Gawds Love U, m' kindred Soul...
...be in honour, or otherwise admit to where thee was not...
...All will be fine, Mssr.
And when the point in time when ol' fat man sings", in this we must each trust, m'm kindred Bro'.
💝❣️❤️🔥🎼
No matter how many times I hear this beautiful song, I want to hear more and more. It's just amazing and meaningful.
I repeat it at least a dozen times. Love it.
this version of this song is the peak point of the mankind in music... ❤
There is something in his songs directly inspired from Heaven. And his voice, absolutely unique. Hearts are deeply touched by most of his songs.Tears fall down.
You created for all generations and times. God bless You Yusuf for all you have done for humanity.
I believe he was singing to God all his inspiration coming from above , listen to the line in ' how can I tell you ' he says ' and still I kneel upon the floor ' Thank you cat / Yusuf you truly helped me in my journey I saw my daddy collapse I front of me aged six my daddy was 43 years old it happened in 1973 after he died I was horrificly abused traumatized torched , I've completed trauma therapy recently and my therapist told me I'm abuse free from humans for the first time at age 57 , I feel blessed and humbled to be here I'm learning to forgive .🕯️✨🌙
And ' how can I tell you ' Cat / Yusuf you've been a blessing in my life ,and I LOVE YOU ❤️
Eine Ruhe, die wir brauchen. Seine Lieder erzählen viele Geschichten in denen wir uns wiedergefunden haben. ❤❤😊😊

What can l Say about Cat. I was 13 and My country ( Chile) was crying. But Cat was the only one who gave to us( teenagers) something to believe. Love!!!!

HOW CAN I TELL YOU..
THAT I LOVE YOU....
I STILL LOVE YOU AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER..!!!
THANKS CAT STEVENS...😘
At 70 his music is still magnificent, passionate and full of love
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written. I saw Steve Harley perform it last October 2023, as usual it made me cry, and I feel so blessed to have seen that. I'd love to see Yusuf perform it, but don't suppose I'll ever be that fortunate.
Just wow!
Beautiful, love it so much it hurts
Such a beautiful song written and sung by an exceptional person. God bless him always. He touches so many hearts.
Timeless 😇
Magnifique ❤
Gentle, poignant & heart breakingly true. I first heard this song when I was 14. I'm now 59 the words & music still haunt me.
@Jennifer Puhl oh Jenifer.

@Jennifer Puhl So sorry for your loss, may she, your wonderful angel rest in peace.

You are a precious gift to the world. Thanks god.
You let a person know that you love them by your actions.
By planning and living a beautiful life with them. You put them first before others.
I played this at my sister’s funeral. My dad used to sing your songs to us at night in lieu of reading. I still listen to them to this day. Love the storytelling of them ❤️
Beautiful and thoughtful message to your sister. She surely loved it.
😢🙏 prayers
