This song changed my life for the better... I wrote "don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there" into my notepad on my phone and i look at it every morning for motivation
I have been waiting my whole life to see this beautiful human being play live, and i never thought the day would come... but my favorite saying that "good things happen to good people" has proven itself true once again. In two weeks time, i am taking my dear Mother, my beautiful Wife and my eldest Brother to see Yusuf play music live in Perth W.A... and we are PUMPED!!! This man has brought warmth to a very cold world for many years!
So much hope and joy in these lyrics, i hope that some day everyone, including me, is lucky enough to fully understand them. The messages this song offers are real, but we got to be fully awake to grasp them. This song can ease some of the "sleeping disorders", which are mainly caused by religious- and media-institutions by manipulation and flooding sewage into our heads. There should be more real medicine, like this song, to heal us all. Love.
Can't stop singing this ode, listened to this 40 some years after totally falling into this troubadour's lovingly peaceful music. I feel alive, so very alive in this music, and his songs, like Rubylove and bitter blue. I am alive! God thank you for this artistry....
Everything He was looking for was right in front of his nose... Life has a way of bringing one full circle again and I'm so grateful so grateful ... that He is flying with is wings again .... so beautiful!! xoxox
The music is superlative. When I watch interviews with Yusuf though, I always get the feeling that he is a really nice bloke. To me, Islam has given him an inner peace and stability. We all need to find that something that gives us the same peace and stability be it through spirituality or charitable works or a thousand different things. May everyone find their peace and stability. Let no-one make you afraid.
Thanks for posting this! I've loved this song (and many others of his) since I first saw "Harold and Maude." I'm glad to hear that he can still sing so sweetly, so truthfully. I don't what name he uses or what religion he follows--this man's songs are simply beautiful.
I found hope in this song. As Cat Stevens, he's really a music legend but as Yusuf Islam, his version of the different songs becomes more amazing and serene. I like him more as Yusuf because he projects a deeper person who exalts God every time he performs.
The words of the song and what Yusuf says as the intro are so very true. Good people who love God cannot stand by and watch others be hated and despised. Intolerance and disrespect cannot be tolerated at any level, beginning with our own personal relationships and discussions.
fortunately,the world is still enjoying such a man.if he weren't truthful,God wouldn't guide him to the straight path.HE WORSHIPS THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND WORSHIP NONE BESIDES HIM.AND HE BELIEVS IN ALL GOD'S PROPHETS INCLUDING MOISES,JESUS AND MOHAMAD(PBUT)
I didn't even know of this beautiful song (by of course, the beautiful man) until I heard it on a kids movie! how great to see him here on your page, thanks so much.
i first heard it in that movie too!! i had to find out who sang it and i was so excited when i did. Messages like the ones in this song should be preached more. If good people do not stand up for what's right, then the world will see darkness forever.
You know, I would LOVE to watch a Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam video, without having to see arguments about religion. Music is music. Religion doesn't always need to be associated with his name.
thanks so much for your beautiful song. brother, God's sweet comfort and peace ~ for a new day is promised, where 'none cometh to hurt or make afraid' and we shall not learn war anymore.
I'm a 62 yr old Humanist. I still love his music, after all these years. It's a shame religion seems to cause more harm than good. But his heart is good. I think religion and monopoly capitalism are the two greatest threats to civilization. Harold and Maude forever! Aloha and Peace from the island of Kauai.
his songs always lead to self-reflection. the only way to heal the world is heal yourself. try to look at yourself from the outside looking in, not from the inside looking inside, to see the True You. and Us!
He has a peaceful soul. What more could you ask for? I sometimes forget myself, and try to be something and act cool and all that stuff. Therefore forget to just live with my self, in peace. But I've felt that peace in my soul, and I know I don't need more. I just need a man like him to keep inspiring me. P.s. One thing I know about religion is that you should respect others people religions if you want them to respect yours.
Steven says it all in this song .... a truly great song ! I deliberately call him "Steven" because his song is about us being truthful to who we are and what we feel.... which made me think of how he changed his name to his fame name 'Cat Stevens' .. and then changed it to 'Yusuf Islam' . His original first birth name was and always will be "Steven" ... ...don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say ..
Omg me too. I just literally finished watching We Bought A Zoo and I saw this song in the credits at the end so I wanted to listen to it. excellent movie and a great song as well : )
You are like fine wine-only better with age!:) I love your beautiful music-whether you're "Cat" or "Yusuf"-you could change our name to "Crappy Noisemaker" :) & people would still flock to hear you-because your songs speak something so few do-to the heart-only God can do this-& children of the Light & darkness alike can only stand in utter awe of the beauty & wisdom they speak
This is from the DVD Yusuf's Cafe Session. It's a great show, and the disc has a bunch of extras. It was released shortly after his An Other Cup album.
Sua Luz é capaz de alcançar a dimensão do conteúdo de suas mensagens, tão profundamente quanto maior conhecimento se tem do maravilhoso Trabalho produzido por você . Poemas& Melodias, de Talento Singular. Inesquecíveis SONGS. Parabéns! Muito, muitíssimo Obrigada. Que Deus continue te abençoando, e protegendo. Hoje, e em todos os dias de Sua Vida. Felicidades, Yusuf /Cat Stevens!!!!

Also, if you look at him during his Earth Tour, it's obvious that he's tired and frustrated, and is just looking for SOMETHING. Something to believe in. Since he has embraced Islam, and been given a chance to live life on his own terms, it's clear that he's much more relaxed. So, who cares what his beliefs are? We should all be thankful that he's back and willing to give us more great music.
Shy.... For all the words we hold dear hidden away in pockets with candy for children and diamonds for kings. Keeping them close for the times never to come when we feel safe to let them out.... Thanks Cat...
" Unless good people stand up to be heard then fear and cruelty will always dominate the world " Yusuf /Cat Stevens
Remember when we wanted to kill a novelist?
Can't seem to get enough of this wonderful man.
He just keep's getting better and better.
This song changed my life for the better... I wrote "don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there" into my notepad on my phone and i look at it every morning for motivation
Heard ! Yusuf Islam is one of the most amazing Musicians there have ever been!
Music Is Music! Couldnt say it any better than you did!
This is INCREDIBLE. He's singing this like he did 40 years ago.
Loved him in the 60s/early 70s....was so disappointed when he dropped out of the music world. He still has a beautiful voice and so glad he's back!

Love.
He sounds more soulful than ever, singing from a more mature and deeper understanding. Thank you, Yusuf.
okay, no matter what he says or does, I will always be grateful that he wrote this song.
what talent this guy has. not one, not ten, but dozens of great songs.
Can't stop singing this ode, listened to this 40 some years after totally falling into this troubadour's lovingly peaceful music. I feel alive, so very alive in this music, and his songs, like Rubylove and bitter blue. I am alive! God thank you for this artistry....
Great song. Putting on a few of his songs is one of the greatest remedies I have for when I'm stressed out or just otherwise in a crap mood.
+nrrork , true!!
so glad cat is back and playing again........we have missed him......
Everything He was looking for was right in front of his nose... Life has a way of bringing one full circle again and I'm so grateful so grateful ... that He is flying with is wings again .... so beautiful!! xoxox
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
One of the best. Love that he's back sharing his great music
The music is superlative.

May everyone find their peace and stability. Let no-one make you afraid.
He is still so affecting in his music. So glad he's is back on stage. He has aged like the finest of wines. Thanks Pulp Blog for posting.
You gave so much brother no one can reward you expect for the almighty . God bless you.
I'm happy to know people like yusuf islam are out there,you bring pride and joy to the world,and especially to us muslims,so thank you.
how can anyone not like this song?! its a great song with an awesome and powerful meaning...
Thanks for posting this! I've loved this song (and many others of his) since I first saw "Harold and Maude."
I'm glad to hear that he can still sing so sweetly, so truthfully. I don't what name he uses or what religion he follows--this man's songs are simply beautiful.
The journey of life without LOVE and Peace is not life worth living.
Thank you Yusuf for sharing your gift with the world, we are listening~

Great singing - a lovely reminder of his voice, as good as ever,
The words of the song and what Yusuf says as the intro are so very true.
Good people who love God cannot stand by and watch others be hated and despised.
Intolerance and disrespect cannot be tolerated at any level, beginning with our own personal relationships and discussions.
he still gives me chills!
Remember seeing him on the Island Records tv special. He stole the show. Always liked him and what he stood for.
I love your voice, Yusuf. (Cat Stevens)
Beautiful song!
This is a beautiful song!
"Thank for Sharing the awesome music that inspired people round the world and will for generations to come ...God bless !"

Very pure. Very soothing and calming performance.

so awesome alun davies is there with cat stevens...
What a timeless voice
So incredibly beautiful.
I've met Yusuf, he is an amazin person. I love this song
Wow thats a amazing cover of the song!!!
Also, if you look at him during his Earth Tour, it's obvious that he's tired and frustrated, and is just looking for SOMETHING. Something to believe in. Since he has embraced Islam, and been given a chance to live life on his own terms, it's clear that he's much more relaxed. So, who cares what his beliefs are? We should all be thankful that he's back and willing to give us more great music.
Very nice to see his faithful friend Alun Davies again together with Yusuf.
Islam=peace and love !
Shy....
For all the words
we hold dear
hidden away
in pockets
with
candy for children
and
diamonds for kings.
Keeping them close
for the times
never to come
when we feel safe
to let them out....
Thanks Cat...
laggie 24....What lovely words, two thumbs up from me...You must be a very special person.
amazing!!!!!
One of my favourites.
