Yusuf, my son 6 years old loves this song and smiles when you come on. He is on the autism spectrum and his sensitivity and wisdom never ceases to awe me.He is amazing and Peace Train has his stamp of approval. Thank you!!
Yusuf ‘Cat’ Stevens still has that wonderful voice that hasn’t faltered. Hearing him sing just a few bars sends me back to when I was 13 and my big sistered was playing the record over and over on our stereo.
@@two-toneblue4872 She's a casualty. Hope has always been there, will always be there along with strife. It's all about attention and where you put your energy. She gave up, too bad.
Yup, we need to focus on the things that bring us together instead of what divides us. And nothing brings people together as fast a good foot tapping tune.
I was crying a mere 30 seconds in, not only because it was so beautiful to see and hear this song played by so many diverse artists or because I wish so much we could have peace, but because I also remember when this song first came out and it hit me hard just how very little things have changed over the decades since. It feels as if no time has passed, and we’re older, but not at all wiser. But I still hope for better every single day. Peace. 🕊💙
I am just another old cry baby that loves Cat Stevens. I agree with all the others here and am proud of the young people of today there are many of them that I am hopeful will be able to make some changes in this troubled world of ours. I will happily do what ever I can to help them.

Folks say that this song is as relevant as when it was written - and yes, I have been hearing this for 50 years now. I disagree. It is MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER. Anybody who cannot shed a tear to this anthem is just not alive. Thank you, Yusuf, for music that transcends generations, and will for generations to come - if we don't destroy ourselves first. PEACE. ✌️
As the world seems to be slipping further and further from any sort of peace, always remember that the engine of the "peace train" starts within your heart!
Oh thank you so much for this! I was 7 when Peace Train was released and was immediately a forever follower and lover of Cat Stevens', his music, and message. Now at 60 I can say I have never been able to listen to this song with out tearing up, always in a good way, today was no exception! Thank you to all the players here, Cat and everyone else- our world is so much better with you all in it - I pray for love throughout the world every day and maybe, just maybe, a few more people today will also jump on the Peace Train and share more love for, with, and of our neighbors throughout the world. :)
This song was played this summer as my father was lowered into the earth. He loved Cat Stevens and the album from which this came. His ( and our) surname is Peace x
Stumbled onto this GEM this morning. White haired, white bearded Yusuf / Cat Stevens' voice hasn't changed. Great to see and hear Rhiannon Giddens in there! Love her voice!
It absolutely guts me that so many people out there choose war, violence, and hate, when there is so much beautiful art, music, and delicious food from from all across the world to experience. We have the power and technology to make the life pleasant from start to finish, yet there are those that insist on making the human experience a dehumanizing experience.
Another beautiful son from the Cat that brought me back into a whole new world filled with people of the world. Yes I was a hippie back in the day and still think I am.
Me too. Don't give up the faith. There is a better world out there. We just have to stand together. Peace, Love, Beauty, Truth: For All & For All Time.
So beautiful it bought me to tears , it is a powerful song, uniting us in Peace and Love .. Thank you Yusuf and Playing for Change .. let Peace for all be our mission today and always.
We know the words....NOW for the hard part.......Let's ALL practice what we preach. How much more wonderful life will be. Smile. Say hi to a stranger. Be kind. It really is simple.......and contagous. Peace.
This is the world I want to live in! Been waiting for the "Peace Train" for 50 years. Thanks to all the musicians here and to Yusef - all love and peace!
A tip of the hat to the people who mix these tracks, who take recordings from musicians all over the globe and blend them so seamlessly. The production manages to weave all the performances into a unified whole, where every voice and instrument is heard, and given prominence at the proper time, yet each serves the purpose of serving the song. Our song. I believe that this exemplifies perfectly the message that Playing For Change is trying to project. Well done.
Absolutely agree, Jahn. Without the magnificent efforts of those skilled people -- all toiling behind the scenes -- our appreciation for this type of performance would be quite different. Magic like that is truly best left to the pros. 😀
Cat Stevens jumped OFF THE PEACE TRAIN decades ago. There is this episode of a documentary about Dubai’s airport, where he is forbidden boarding a plain to America, because he is considered persona non grata, he will never be allowed entry because he is a major donor to islamic organisations that promote terror and jihad. This is your peace fighter, you clueless buffoons
Oh, the time has passed. Why do I think the world and especially those who entertained us haven't grown as old as I? What a beautiful song to wake up to. Good morning world. Let's ride the Peace Train! 😊
As a lifelong musician for over 60 years, I have always believed and also experienced; that music is truly universal and brings people together. "Playing for a change" shows first hand that this belief is alive and well. Thanks to all of the world musicians, artists, sound and visual engineers, and everyone involved who makes this possible through the magic of the internet and their love of the music.
I concur. Throughout my life, music has a tremendous healing effect. I was in from the get go after hearing All Along The Watchtower sung by Playing for Change. Sweeeeeeeeeet.
Crying in the first 30 seconds too...this is incredibly beautiful. So many voices coming together to sing a song which meant so much to so many of us in our youth. Always pray for peace without ceasing...
Just search him online...you'll find plenty of "recent" interviews and live performances. His old fans still adore him, and he's got plenty of new fans that are learning about him. I honestly don't think his choice to be a Muslim is an issue. If you're talking years ago, then yes. But people are more accepting now. That's just honest opinion.
The world has always needed a peace train. The only thing that can bring that are respect for our wonderful diverse cultures and the principles of life before greed and eradication to amass power.
In 1971, I believe here in Portland, Or a local radio station started playing this and continued as long as they got requests. This included joining a Peace Train by car up to a local hill and around. I don't know how long it played but I was up most of the night listening as a passenger in a car. The song still gives hope and tears seeing how far we have to go.

I fell in love with my husband while listening to Cat Stevens (Yusuf) in the early 70's. His amazing music and lyrics have stayed with us for almost 50 years. If only the world had listened to and applied his words then... It is wonderful to experience Peace Train with Yusuf and an array of such beautiful artists.
@@yusufcatstevens5917 , 3.4.22. Hello, my friend. I've loved this song 🎵 ❤ since I was a very young person. I've stumbled across this amazing version. We have grown older, and hopefully wiser together. Sharing, again, with hope and prayers of peace on Earth. May you be blessed 🙌. Thanks for the music.
Yes, let's make this the number 1 song on the charts! Get everyone talking and singing about peace instead of war! Let this beautiful music wake us up to what really matters!
Beautifully brilliant - I started to cry when Yusuf came in. What a beautiful soul, amazing message and wonderful production. We need more of this in the world today. Peace my friends…
Music does infinitely more for Earthly peace than politics. Musicians channel something far greater than themselves into this world. God bless you all!
I already knew and loved Yusuf, Rhiannon, and Keb Mo, and I'm proud to say I didn't burst into involuntary tears until I heard the choir from Hattiesburg. That is what Heaven sounds like. I don't know how you keep coming up with the unique and uniquely gifted artists you do, but I hope you never stop.
I’ve loved Ms Giddens since I first stumbled across the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and Keb’ Mo’ even longer than that. now throw in Yusuf and the wonderful performers worldwide… what’s not to like? 🤗
50 years ago this was what my Mama was listening to while I was in her belly. I got goosebumps, this is the movement that matters. 🙌 Beautiful ❤ Just Beautiful 😍 ❤
As long as we have this song, we have hope. Thank you, Yusef, Playing for Change, and all of my magnificent, radiant brothers and sisters who played this song for us.
A lovely version of the Cat Stevens classic. PfC will soon be in line for a Nobel: they've truly deserved one, having produced some of the most beautiful World Music.
Playing for Change has left me praying for change with tears streaming down my face. Can't see how that could have possibly been any more moving and inspiring.
December 2023 In the name of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit, dear God, through Your intercession, please stop all war & aggression. Let us live in PEACE. Amen.
Peace Train reaches deep into one's soul. Oh! the possibilities that traverse through my mind when I hear it. There is hope, love and peace that resides just outside the divisions that we face today, if we could just reach out and get on The Peace Train the healing would begin. ALL ABOARD!!
Still an incredibly beautiful song. Yosuf's voice still sounds like he did 40 years ago! Thank you for allowing me to relive the music of my youth during some troubling times in our world.
I've been a fan of Yusuf / Cat Stevens since I was in high school and now I'm 69. I'm so glad he is back to making music. This compilation of musicians singing his old song Peace Train moved me to tears. I have never had the opportunity to see him in person but I love that guy and his music. I hope he keeps making music for years to come.
If you’ve been on the edge of darkness lately, fear not, the Peace ☮️ Train is coming to take us home again. This beautiful video made by artists from around the world fills me with hope for the future. Spread joy, give hope, heal the planet. 🌍 🌏 🌎
January 2024 In the name of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit, dear God, through Your intercession, please stop all war & aggression. Let us live in PEACE. Amen.
There are two pakistanis in this 0:13 Rahat Ali on Flute and 1:32 Aziz Kazi on kartaal.. The name Joshua Amjad was a mistake.. So peace ♥️ love from Pakistan to our fav Yousuf Cat to Baaba Maal and everyone involved in this.
Oh my god, how beautiful is this song right now! Wow to be heard and celebrated around the world forevermore! Your song feels like a total miracle! I thank everyone! Thank you!
Absolutely makes me cry, I believe in us people coming together on that peace train.... cycle of life.... prevailing ytime and time over years when things boil up✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️💯💯💯💯💯
Incredible - in every language! Cat you knocked it out of the park years ago, and lord only knows we need healing and peace throughout the world. THANK YOU to all the wonderful musicians who contributed to this effort♥️💋👍😘
I remember as a boy watching Cat on a 13" black and white tv with my older brother in 1971; as an 8 or 9 year old. Today I rarely pick up my guitar without a quick run through a few of my favorites from Yusuf. The feeling so many echo about this song is the exact feeling I had, but 50 years ago we had to see him in fuzzy b&w coming through a single speaker that was an afterthought at best. Cable was still a decade away, Al Gore had not begun to invent the internet for almost 20 more years. The music was relevant then, it is absolutely relevant now, and we can only pray the future has more peace for all of us. "Quality never goes out of style",Yusuf's entire body of work fits this sentiment perfectly.
I loved first hearing this song as a ten-year-old in 1971. If our world is going to end warfare as a means to solve conflicts over the next 50 years, we will need the universal language, power & inspiration of music to get us on the train to peace! Thank you Yusuf/Cat Stevens and those following in your footsteps. Wonderful seeing Rhiannon Giddens here!
My big bro William Barton playing the Didgeridoo from Mount Isa Queensland Australia I went to primary school with him and very proud of what his accomplished 👏 the best in the business my blood brother one love
Yes to all below… Would’ve enjoyed hearing more of the “peace drums solo”! Great to hear/see Cat Stevens. Love the 70’s- wish we could go back in time…and what we know now, maintain “what was”
definitely agree longer drum solo was needed accompanied after with the didg to better showcase those skills before breaking back to the verse ....... would have made this far more amazing (not that it isn't right now - but the potential to drive that primal voice of freedom and peace was a missed opportunity, especially with such a tasty beat )
I'll be there .. The Peace Train Holy Roller has now left the station .. go bring your good friends too, cause its getting nearer it soon will be with you 💗
This version of Peace Train should be played at the beginning and end of the UN General Session main session. It might remind our representatives what the people of the world need.
With a huge lump in my throat, and tears, I knew this would touch me again. And although my original vinyl version hasn't worn out, it always seems like I'm hearing this song for the first time. Maybe that means, don't give up on hope and peace. Thank you Playing for Change, and Yusuf.
I saw this on Hoda and Jenna this morning. I thank them both so much, from the bottom of my heart. I am ' Care Giving ' for my Mother, who has Dementia ; by myself and this has lifted my spirits today, tremendously. My days are very challenging and I at times wonder about this world and continuously ask ' Why ' , can't we all get along ? Thanks to Hoda and Jenna. Love you.
I love it. It's wonderful to see different musicians from different countries singing the same song. I always enjoy these performances. And of course with the Cat Stevens himself. Great! Milagros Vecino
Oh my goodness! This is so needed today, perhaps more than ever. I broke out in goose bumps all over my body... Praise be to all! Riding The Peace Train 🕊️❣️🕊️ Thankyou Cat Stevens
Listening to all these beautiful voices not only fills my heart with great joy, but it elevates all of our frequencies to a much higher level. This music and those who came together to share their voices needs to be put into the hands and ears of all humans on planet Earth. It is this unity that will elevate mankind spiritually and forever end hate, evil and war. Dont be misled...this energy is far stronger and more powerful then one hundred nation's armies. I surely hope, and believe this will be the path we all follow in the very near future. Bless all those who contributed to this beautiful collaboration.

I was 18 and already a performing musician when Peace Train came out. Loved this, and other Cat Stevens tunes.

So much hope in 1971 has taken a beating in the intervening years. But hope is still with us.

I don't know how you keep coming up with the unique and uniquely gifted artists you do, but I hope you never stop.
I’ve loved Ms Giddens since I first stumbled across the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and Keb’ Mo’ even longer than that. now throw in Yusuf and the wonderful performers worldwide… what’s not to like? 🤗
@@howlinhobbit Yusuf is from long before Keb Mo' and CCD.... 🙂❤
@@MelissaThompson432 - yes, I know that. I had just hit my teens when it was released and I listened to it a lot.
@@tiggypete3053 yeeess!!!!!
50 years ago this was what my Mama was listening to while I was in her belly. I got goosebumps, this is the movement that matters. 🙌 Beautiful ❤ Just Beautiful 😍 ❤
Mine too! Happy fiftieth!
The world needs more of this right now. Peace to all.
I love too See my Family here, again again for all Times 🙂❤️🙏 Thanks Human Family🌱
As long as we have this song, we have hope. Thank you, Yusef, Playing for Change, and all of my magnificent, radiant brothers and sisters who played this song for us.
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love 💕
Love playing for change.thankyou
So so beautiful ! The world needs a giant Peace Train !
Now is a man who has been playing love for years. Having all these voices are beautiful. Love Yusuf...
A lovely version of the Cat Stevens classic. PfC will soon be in line for a Nobel: they've truly deserved one, having produced some of the most beautiful World Music.
shouldn't we all just watch this each and every morning as soon as we wake up? when will we learn.....
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love ❤️
How is the weather conditions over there 👉
I won’t tell you how many times I watch this video daily since I stumbled upon it!
What a wonderful celebration of global unity and peace. Congratulation to you all. Peace Train sounding louder!
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love 💕
Playing for Change has left me praying for change with tears streaming down my face. Can't see how that could have possibly been any more moving and inspiring.
This old crust punk has a tear in his eye, what a beautiful cover.
December 2023 In the name of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit, dear God, through Your intercession,
please stop all war & aggression. Let us live in PEACE. Amen.
We need this now more than ever. Cat’s voice is still wonderful. Brilliant song.
♥️... keep rolling Peace Train. World wide love. I hope this world can have less hate and more love. We can do it. Join in. ♥️
I've loved this man since the early 70s.
Peace Train reaches deep into one's soul. Oh! the possibilities that traverse through my mind when I hear it. There is hope, love and peace that resides just outside the divisions that we face today, if we could just reach out and get on The Peace Train the healing would begin. ALL ABOARD!!
Yusef Cat is still totally awesome ; he sounds and looks amazing and it was another wonderful composition from - playing for Change 🎆👌
Still an incredibly beautiful song. Yosuf's voice still sounds like he did 40 years ago! Thank you for allowing me to relive the music of my youth during some troubling times in our world.
This brought tears of hope and joy back into my heart. May it be easy. 💗
Que viva el gran Cat Stevens un muy buen compositor y con un gran carisma espiritual que viva la.musica Peter de Colombia gratitud y bendiciones
I've been a fan of Yusuf / Cat Stevens since I was in high school and now I'm 69. I'm so glad he is back to making music. This compilation of musicians singing his old song Peace Train moved me to tears. I have never had the opportunity to see him in person but I love that guy and his music. I hope he keeps making music for years to come.
The diversity of singing and love expressed in this song fosters hope and a happy feeling!
If you’ve been on the edge of darkness lately, fear not, the Peace ☮️ Train is coming to take us home again.
This beautiful video made by artists from around the world fills me with hope for the future.
Spread joy, give hope, heal the planet. 🌍 🌏 🌎

Always loved this song! Right up there with Imagine in my book! And I have so missed the voice of Yusuf/Cat all these years…
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love 💕
@@yusufcatstevens5917 I fine! Thanks for your musiv
@@ellacarson2048 you welcome where are you from and how is the weather conditions over there 👉
Just Beautiful! The man has the most calming voice in the history of music. Also congrats to Joshua! Finally someone from Pakistan.
Poignant to have India and Pakistan playing on the same screen.
There are two pakistanis in this 0:13 Rahat Ali on Flute and 1:32 Aziz Kazi on kartaal.. The name Joshua Amjad was a mistake.. So peace ♥️ love from Pakistan to our fav Yousuf Cat to Baaba Maal and everyone involved in this.
@@QuaidAhmed oh Damn I missed Rahat! This is a great moment
Oh my god, how beautiful is this song right now! Wow to be heard and celebrated around the world forevermore! Your song feels like a total miracle! I thank everyone! Thank you!
Absolutely makes me cry, I believe in us people coming together on that peace train.... cycle of life.... prevailing ytime and time over years when things boil up✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️💯💯💯💯💯
Incredible - in every language! Cat you knocked it out of the park years ago, and lord only knows we need healing and peace throughout the world. THANK YOU to all the wonderful musicians who contributed to this effort♥️💋👍😘
I remember as a boy watching Cat on a 13" black and white tv with my older brother in 1971; as an 8 or 9 year old. Today I rarely pick up my guitar without a quick run through a few of my favorites from Yusuf. The feeling so many echo about this song is the exact feeling I had, but 50 years ago we had to see him in fuzzy b&w coming through a single speaker that was an afterthought at best. Cable was still a decade away, Al Gore had not begun to invent the internet for almost 20 more years. The music was relevant then, it is absolutely relevant now, and we can only pray the future has more peace for all of us.
"Quality never goes out of style",Yusuf's entire body of work fits this sentiment perfectly.
Loved it. May we see social justice and world peace in our time
I loved first hearing this song as a ten-year-old in 1971. If our world is going to end warfare as a means to solve conflicts over the next 50 years, we will need the universal language, power & inspiration of music to get us on the train to peace! Thank you Yusuf/Cat Stevens and those following in your footsteps. Wonderful seeing Rhiannon Giddens here!
Great group of musicians, phenomenal song/ songwriter, a message I pray for. Thank you Yusuf 🙏🏼
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love 💕
My big bro William Barton playing the Didgeridoo from Mount Isa Queensland Australia I went to primary school with him and very proud of what his accomplished 👏 the best in the business my blood brother one love
Yes to all below…
Would’ve enjoyed hearing more of the “peace drums solo”!
Great to hear/see Cat Stevens.
Love the 70’s- wish we could go back in time…and what we know now, maintain “what was”
definitely agree longer drum solo was needed accompanied after with the didg to better showcase those skills before breaking back to the verse ....... would have made this far more amazing (not that it isn't right now - but the potential to drive that primal voice of freedom and peace was a missed opportunity, especially with such a tasty beat )
I wish that I knew what I know now / When I was younger
Yes, besides hearing Yusuf's voice, those drums got me on my feet.
I'll be there .. The Peace Train Holy Roller has now left the station .. go bring your good friends too, cause its getting nearer it soon will be with you 💗
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love ❤️
@@yusufcatstevens5917 I love the Peace Train, even recorded it as the Clean Train for this pandemic.
This version of Peace Train should be played at the beginning and end of the UN General Session main session. It might remind our representatives what the people of the world need.
What, do heroin and convert to Islam? lol, good excuse to stay away from heroin.
It won't.
Heart-felt welcome back, Yusuf. Awesome way to bring this brilliant song back to us, and when we badly need it.
With a huge lump in my throat, and tears, I knew this would touch me again. And although my original vinyl version hasn't worn out, it always seems like I'm hearing this song for the first time. Maybe that means, don't give up on hope and peace. Thank you Playing for Change, and Yusuf.
I appreciate your support and love 💕
I saw this on Hoda and Jenna this morning. I thank them both so much, from the bottom of my heart.
I am ' Care Giving ' for my Mother, who has Dementia ; by myself and this has lifted my spirits today, tremendously.
My days are very challenging and I at times wonder about this world and continuously ask ' Why ' , can't we all get along ?
Thanks to Hoda and Jenna. Love you.
I love it. It's wonderful to see different musicians from different countries singing the same song.
I always enjoy these performances. And of course with the Cat Stevens himself. Great!
Milagros Vecino
His voice is just as beautiful as when i first heard it.
Oh my goodness! This is so needed today, perhaps more than ever. I broke out in goose bumps all over my body... Praise be to all! Riding The Peace Train 🕊️❣️🕊️ Thankyou Cat Stevens
Listening to all these beautiful voices not only fills my heart with great joy, but it elevates all of our frequencies to a much higher level. This music and those who came together to share their voices needs to be put into the hands and ears of all humans on planet Earth. It is this unity that will elevate mankind spiritually and forever end hate, evil and war. Dont be misled...this energy is far stronger and more powerful then one hundred nation's armies. I surely hope, and believe this will be the path we all follow in the very near future. Bless all those who contributed to this beautiful collaboration.
I’ve got to say, that drummer and his expressions were just perfect!
It is an amazing and evocative performance......the group from Hattiesburg makes the show!
Blessed Peace Day, Yusuf ! What an amazing video, reuniting artists from all over the world. Peace and Love to all 🕊❤️🕊
Hello how are you doing I appreciate your support and love 💕
Gave me full body chills as tears stream down my cheeks...so beautiful and to hear him again....beautiful joy
Beautiful song beautiful people!
These vids provoke smiles of joy & tears of happiness simultaneously. Music truly is the universal language. All aboard!!!!!
