I don't understand how come, that people like Puff Daddy are adored and praised, but a man like Cat Steven - who is gifted by God with his talent and his voice - is not.
Can't believe Cat wrote this wonderful song when he was a teenagers...ahead of his young years for certain ..and so true are the words...the first cut is always the deepest.. a beautiful song...
I'm blown away right now, because Cat Steven's is one of my faves, and yeah, I thought this was Rod Stewart's, and now it's even more awesome! And how great he still sounds at this age!
Hey Cat, it always sounded to my ears as yours somehow, but now that you say that you wrote it, it is even more amazing to me.. always loved your songs ! My mom passed away recently, first thing that came to my mind was one of your songs that used to listen with her... Take good care, Cat / Jussuf, I'll always cherrish your salomonian way to look at things & I wish you would involve more where stupid politics WORLDWIDE are on the way to destroy our beloved world.. ! God bless !!!
@@cynthiadubois6392 Oh my gosh, yes! I've always loved Cat Stevens, but I never knew HE wrote this song! I just found this out, after all these years! Rod Stewart made it famous, I guess (and I thought he wrote it). I'm so happy to hear it sung by Cat here, his voice is still amazing!
Your fans know you wrote it and I corrected a New Zealand radio station when they attributed it to Rod Stewart. They refused to rectify by informing listeners so I stopped listening to the Breeze as it was then called. Your talent is amazing and I'm privileged to have grown up listening to your music, which I still love 50 years later.
Cat Stevens with so much God given talents should never have quit music, his lyrics and vocals made all his music special, it did take awhile but he did get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
I remember Cat did it...I was 17 back thsa....now I am 65 ...and still have Cat 's LP records... and oc veery nice Memories...Respect and many greets from Zagreb :)
I know you wrote it and your version is the first I heard back then. No version after that is comparable because you sing it from your heart and soul with your wonderful deep distinct voice as you always do ❤️
This is my favorite song. I am with a lot of nostalgic today, this is the second time I have COVID but the first time that I have it without my father and father in law. They are resting in peace 🕊️
Being able to sing a song with emotion and passion is a talent so many do not and can never have. Being able to write that song is an even rarer talent.
Rod Stewart always made sure his fans knew you are the great songwriter of this incredible song. We were your fans first and continue to be your fans. ❤️
Yusuf you are the best, I admire you so much since the 80s you are pure inspiration,thanks for all your talent, I Will always love youre music !!!!!❤👍👏👏👏👏👏
Comme j’aime t’écouter a n’importe quel moment.. Au réveil..sur la route pour aller au boulot ou encore le soir quand j’ai du mal à m’endormir.. bref tu m’accompagnes partout et ça depuis très longtemps ! Que Allah te protège 🙏🏼😍
θυμηθείτε τη Γάτα, όταν μόλις πνιγόσασταν στο Μαλιμπού, είπατε ότι θα υπηρετούσατε τον Θεό αν σας έσωζε τη ζωή, τώρα είναι η ώρα να το κάνετε και να αρχίσετε να υπηρετείτε τον Ιησού τον αναστημένο Σωτήρα τον Άνθρωπο (και τον Θεό) που πέθανε για τις αμαρτίες μας
As Cat Stevens he was a classic songwriter, in the late 1960s, and early '70s. Moonshadow, Wild World, Father and Son, Lady D'Arbanville, Ruby Love, The Wind, are just a few of his great tracks.
Cat's Decca days resulted in great music but his Island Records releases were poetry, mind provoking, and still relevant today. I've bought your latest CDs but they don't speak to me as much as your music from my youth.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 Teaser and the Firecat, Tea for the Tillerman and Mona Bone Jakon, a brilliant trio of albums from the early '70s. He was definitely on a hot songwriting streak. Great albums.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 I've never heard those 2 albums I must admit. I have Teaser, Tea for Tillerman and Mona Bone Jakon, plus a compilation the very best of Cat Stevens which is a good collection, but thanks for bringing those 2 albums to my attention, I will definitely look them up. I love any great music. Take Care Voula, I wish you all the best. 👍
@@kevanbrown7620 I stopped buying his albums after Buddha and the Chocolate Box (his 6th on Island Records) as it was obvious his heart wasn't in it. It's great that you search for great music. As a youngster growing up in the 60s and 70s I couldn't keep up with the number of great albums being released. Today it takes me a year to find one album of interest. If you've not heard their music, check out The Milk Carton Kids. Take care and stay safe.
Interestingly enough, this song has nothing to do with romance or his relationship with a woman. This song is dedicated to his dogs. He was talking to his second dog after his first dog had passed away. It’s clearly a play on the subject, but the intended targets were his dogs.
🥀Amazing Song and I've loved this song many years now he's so creative and giving to others like his love into this song. God Bless you and Stay Gold Stay Gold 🥀✌🥀☝️
I have been working in Dubai for 13 years but don't have the chance to meet you or saw you from a distance. Now I'm 60 and being sent home by my employer cuz of my age. Hope you can perform in Expo so i could watch and see you for the last time. 🙏🙏🙏
Sounds like you are sad about that, but I hope you won't be. 60 is not old. You can do volunteer work, as well as things you enjoy in retirement, and/or work somewhere that they do not have any laws mandating requirement. And I hope you do get to hear Cat Stevens live. He'd be worth it.
I would have given you all of my heart But there's someone who's torn it apart And she's taking almost all that I've got But if you want I'll try to love again Baby, I'll try to love again but I know The first cut is the deepest Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest 'Cause when it comes to being lucky, she's cursed When it comes to loving me, she's worst But when it comes to being loved, she's first That's how I know The first cut is the deepest Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried 'Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try And if you want I'll try to love again But baby, I'll try to love again but I know The first cut is the deepest
Lol this is an original Cat Stevens written and sung by him, it is done as a cover by Rod Stewart as Rod seems to do a lot of covers of popular songs, idea check out the original versions.
@@nicnak4475 Nic, , My favorite is Cat's original version that came out maybe in the late 60 or 70, I would have to look that up to be accurate, I always appreciate the artist that create the music, not the covers, perhaps that is where we disagree, Sorry.
@@jambrenn7843 No problem at all, as we all have different tastes, I like both versions of the song but Rod Stewart just wins for me, I like you, usually prefer the originals but have exceptions, including Lucy in the sky with diamonds, of which I prefer Elton John's cover version rather than the original Beatles song. Have a good day 😀
@@nicnak4475 K Nic, one thing to remember though is with youtube the number of hits also represent an money value, I would rather that money goes to the creators of that music. What if Cat never wrote or was never recorded" The first cut is the deepest or it's a Wild World". We would be missing so much, I'm also upset with Cat because he quit music so soon he was at his most creative aspect.
Salam alikoum Yusuf je suis toujours heureuse de vous retrouver pour entendre vos chansons ça m'apaise et en ce mois de Ramadan la solitude est lourde à supporter je souhaiterais être ailleurs donner de ma vie à ceux qui sont seuls et subissent les guerres que Dieu vous protège et vous accorde sa Miséricorde et sa Protection bisous de France 🇫🇷
Who needs a band. One man one guitar . Best version.
I don't understand how come, that people like Puff Daddy are adored and praised, but a man like Cat Steven - who is gifted by God with his talent and his voice - is not.
He stopped and devoted his life to God.
Strange when you dont realise how much many people owe this man ! ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧
I miss great musicians who really play with heart and soul. Glad to hear Cat is still singing!

I knew you wrote it your a legend.
From "I love my Dog" to "Islam" and now he came back to the Music! *THANKS!!!* 😘
I love the rawness of this so intimate version. Cat , you still got it in abundance!!!!
All your fans know you wrote it...… wonderful song!
I did not know Yusuf aka Cat Stevens wrote this until today, March 19, 2022. Great song.
Oh your voice is so beautiful, no one can sing this song with such a deep soul sound like you, no one ! You feel every word and we do too.
very beautiful....
Whatever they say, whatever they do, this song will always be you 💙
I understand that lyrics reference 😁
Cat Stevens with so much God given talents should never have quit music, his lyrics and vocals made all his music special, it did take awhile but he did get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
What a fantastic song by him first heard in the sixties great memories

I love this man's voice

Because first cut is the deepest
I had his posters on my bedroom walls when I was young. Gorgeous man.
@@gretanolles3662 Me too! Yes, drop dead gorgeous.
❤❤❤
Amazing..your talent originally from your deepest soul..
See this is the thing, the older Cat got the higher his voice got. To the point I hardly recognize it any more.
It used to be so much deeper
Yousaf You are a talent.
It is so neat to watch him with his Tablet. Love him so much.
I am so thankful that Cat Steven/Yussef came back to his music! so special! The soundtrack of my childhood!
How does his voice sound this good after all this time?
The Cat was destined to be a prophet for our day and age
The man is soooo gorgeous and beautiful inside and out ... he is a real jewel 🌷May God bless him always
This is my favorite song. I am with a lot of nostalgic today, this is the second time I have COVID but the first time that I have it without my father and father in law. They are resting in peace 🕊️
🌴Thank you.I knew you wrote this wonderful 🌟 song .🌻🌼💐
Being able to sing a song with emotion and passion is a talent so many do not and can never have. Being able to write that song is an even rarer talent.
By far, the most original style, beautifully written tunes, that are timeless. Such an amazing talent!
❤ Yes! We love you! 🎉❤
Prettiest song ever written. Top 3 at least on God's list.
I love this song since I was little. I love Cat Stevens 😊
Rod Stewart always made sure his fans knew you are the great songwriter of this incredible song. We were your fans first and continue to be your fans. ❤️
I respect his life choices but am SO glad he is back with his beautiful voice & songs!❤
Yusuf you are the best, I admire you so much since the 80s you are pure inspiration,thanks for all your talent, I Will always love youre music !!!!!❤👍👏👏👏👏👏
Yusuf you are just wonderful!
Pure, touching and beautiful Thanks Cat for the song
A man who seen all we are anxious about now Peace Brother

What a writer!!!... Enough said!!! 🎶🎵
What incredible artist: voice, pure talent and many timeless masterpieces....love this song ❤
Tears and goosebumps. Beautiful!
I hope I can meet you one day inshaAllah, Yusuf Cat Stevens. Your music is timeless.
Wonderful

Well said my friend.
He already serves God as he sees him. It's just not your God...
I love it still means so much to Yusuf
Respect

Such a great song!!! Thankyou
I bet the Glaswegian's love this tune 😛 absolute gem 👌
This is such a therapeutic song for me, the best song about teenage heartbreak. I'm a fan of yours always, Yusuf.

Cat Stevens original is still the best.
My dad loved your music and he showed it to me when I was young and I’ve always enjoyed it and I am sure to share it with the next generations !
He sounds great, loved him so much high school

❤️❤️❤️ Heart & Soul❤️❤️❤️🎸
Eu te adimiro sempre
Truth...right there xx
Love and blessings Cat Yusuf!
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taking almost all that I've got
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
When it comes to loving me, she's worst
But when it comes to being loved, she's first
That's how I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
'Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
But baby, I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
I always knew you wrote that song Yusuf💕🙏
❤❤❤
😍amo muito...
❤️ Love this song since many, many years...
J'aime beaucoup cette ambiance , longue vie à vous Monsieur Cat Stevens merci..
