My dad introduced me to songs like this in the 80s. Even though this is a cover by Maxi, it was so good that most people still think it's the original. Kudos to Cat Stevens for giving us this classic.
My dad made me listen to this lovely tune first when I was only a little boy. He passed on few months ago and each time I listen to this great masterpiece my mind and heart is filled with memories of him. Keep Resting easy soldier 😤
My mom loved this version as well as the cat Stevens one, when me and my sister went through our rebellious phase she uses to sing it to us, we played it for her the week she lay dying in hospital, I would give anything to hear her sing this to me again... I miss you moma hope your still singing this in heaven
My husband and I were dancing to this song when we said "I love you" to each for the first time. That was 18 years ago, and we are MORE in love than ever. Man, that was such a PASSIONATE moment in life.
3 years ago, I lost my dad. It was hard time and I’ve missed him a lot. But I knew that we did our best, love each other, and I could get over pain. This is my father’s favorite song. Me too, of course.
A lot of people are commenting on this being their dad's song! That is so cool. Bless you. He passed on a good tune here. Bless you and I hope you are well.
Oh memories! I remember the summer of 94, I was 10yrs old sitting in our back garden having an ice cream while my mother was cooking and getting ready for her friends to come by. Wonderful wonderful memories :)
It's a beautiful song but I feel so sad listening to this. The world was a better place then. My mom was still alive and I had nothing to worry about 😢
This reminds me of the best month of my life when my family and i went to Jamaica 🇯🇲 for a month in 1999. Now i lost my mum and im so glad we spent that time together. Rip mum we will always have Negril. 😢
I sent this song to my daughter when she was following company and was becoming rebellious. She decided she wanted to take a break from school and wanted to have boyfriends. I was relentless as I knew she was way better than what she was becoming. Luckily she has changed and now we are best of friends and she is now becoming a doctor.
I love this great cover version of Cat Stevens' classic song, this is one of my most favourite covers, and one of the few ones which I preferred to the original version (nothing against Cat Stevens - or Yusuf, as he goes by, now). I just love the way that Maxi does it in his brilliant reggae style, and the way it sounds. I love the video, too! This takes me right back...
This was my send off song to my xwife when she wanted to split. Now 40 + years later I can still recall the day. One of the best decisions of my life, no regret.
This is probably the best version of this song, love the saxophone and just the whole vibe, and the voice. This is the version that comes to my mind when I think of this song, my favorite version.
Today it popped up from my radio channel while I was driving. And brought good mood and sunshine to the car all of a sudden. What a beautiful rendition! Timeless beauty.. 🌺🌳🎼🎤
@@queens3696 yes I understand the feeling too I lost my mother years ago but this song brings a smile to my face when I think of all of the beautiful childhood memories I had with her.
THE 80'S BLESSED US WITH TIMELESS HIT SONGS THAT UPDATE CAN COMPETE LATEST SONGS AND STILL WIN!!! THANK YOU MAXI FOR BEING PART OF OUR LIFE JOURNEY , THIS SONG IS A GOOD ANTIDOTE THAT BRINGS BACK OUR SWEET MEMORIES OF THE DAYS......GONE ARE THE DAYS!!!!!!
One of the best songs ever! So uplifting, so real, so rythmic, so 90s! LOL! Man, I was going through such a hard time in my adolescence when this song was hot in LA. In times of despair I found solace in these lyrics. This song is so irie so right in so many ways. I only HOPE y’all equally approve genius behind the music ✌🏽
Relaxing on my bed, waiting for load shedding to end so I can watch Fauda with my wife. Reminiscing of my Blitz Days in Durban. 🇿🇦 Red Cup 🥤Approval Tune! Thank you for the upload!
I've only heard Maxi say how he did not want to record this tune, (Wild World) he was totally pressured into recording it….but I've never heard what his reaction was when he realized the success he had with it. and YES, we still loving' it Maxi!
I just heard this version in Safeway for the first time in a long time. Found out who it was and instantly it's added to my playlist. Stay safe and be kind to animals, the planet, one another, and yourself.
Im autistic and when i was young in a therapy sección building block while i had headphones on listening to this banger of a song experiencing new ways to interact whit the world, at 5 i learn how to talk.
I grew up to this. Dad got me into music when I was an "80s kid, Sting, Paul Simon's Graceland, Maxi Priest, Bruce Cockburn's Stealing Fire, etc. Almost 40 and it has aged very well
Evergreen...tears of joy for good old yester years... listened when I was 7 now I'm 40 ... Thanks Maxi Priest wherever you are
For a cover version, Maxi Priest knocked it out of the park and made it his own.
True, true 😊😊😊
Didn't even know it was a cover 😅.. song is so good
The sax player deserve a Grammy! Superb work.
This song brings a lot of memory about my late father who bought a new CD of this album. It was always on replay. Rest Well Daddy
When I was a child, I danced to this.
Now I'm a father of two girls, I weep to this.
The power of music 🎶
What an emotional song

That's beautiful. Keep dancing.
My dad played this all the time. We were jammin. Now it makes sense. I feel you because it makes me tear up now....❤
Maxi Priest vocals just pure clean and smooth. A joy to hear the brother sing. Yup, living legend. Still rocking in 2024

I miss the 90's and the phenomenal clip art
A master piece from Maxi Priest. It still sounds as it did the first time I heard it in 1990
Anyone remember this song from the music commercials of the 90s? The OG is great but Maxi’s will always have a place in my heart.
Both are good
Anyone else who gets emotional while listening to this song but Love it anyway?

Its me, i. Miss simeone who loved me when true love was real and i was much younger...
