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 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.
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 :)
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.
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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 😢
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.
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 ✌🏽
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.. 🌺🌳🎼🎤
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.
Mal Mic it is a cover, but this version has happy warm Memories for me. Cat Stevens mat have done the original but Maxi singing it, for me , is wonderful. Stay safe & happy. Gx
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!!!!!!
A loving tribute to my dad. May his soul continue to rest in peace ❤
Amen my friend that is very kind of you

Maxi Priest vocals just pure clean and smooth. A joy to hear the brother sing. Yup, living legend. Still rocking in 2024
Happy 62nd Birthday Maxi Priest!(Born June 10, 1961)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
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
