Our kids are now 38, 36 and 25....And the dad passed away one year ago...😮😮😮😮.....Me and this wonderful person are divorced, but we had ever the sight by the kids......😮😢😢......This song is, a little bit, the song of our life....I was the person with a horrible past, just as my first husband....We both had a crawefull youth.....I could't stand with it.....😢....He was on my side, when nobody want it....I miss him so much......I miss our three children....I'm so sorry....😮😢😮😢😮😢
You're right. I lost my dad 4 years ago. all happened in some sort of sudden and my dad never knew how much he meant for me. I feel sad I dindt get the chance to let him know
my grandfather passed away recently and I believe my farther has regrets about not being able to express his feelings to him. a nod of the head and maybe on very special occasions a handshake ....
I had a stroke father. Been taking care of him everyday is tiring. He cant move so I have to lift him to bathroom everyday to clean him. During meals, he will occasionally shit on his bed, sometimes when he got angry he hurl at me his feces. It was hard life. He often hit me, im not sure why, but I think, probably his frustration of getting sick and cant move. Then, 3 years ago, in the ward, doctor already told us my dad condition deteriorates. So, while sitting beside him in ward, he look at me, he touch my arm. I thought he want something so I ask him what is it. Then, there, he mutters, "sorry". All these 20 years taking care of him, that single word he spoke despite he cant speak anymore, crushed me. All the moment taking care of him, it was worth it. Im sure it took all his strength to said it. So I replied, "its my duty dad. dont think much about it." Then day after, he passed away. It was a peaceful farewell.
How I knew my dad loved me: 1. He bought expensive clothes for me and cheap clothes for himself. 2. He bought me a new pair of shoes every year and a new pair for himself every few years. 3. He was the only one who wanted me to be more successful than he was. 4. When I fell sick, he would sneak into the room all night to check on me. And much more. I love you dad ❤
my father died more than two years now, hearing this song brings back flashes of our good old past, how he raised us, how he struggled for us. "it hard, but it's harder to ignore it." We miss you papa.
i love my father.. even my father unable to work for our family because of his stroke that he got 5 years ago. as a son, i'm gladly to take over my father's position as a leader and work for our food.. i hope my father can play football with me again, please get well soon dad.. i miss my old dad so much..
My dad died earlier this year & I’m a dad of 2 boys. This will be our first Christmas without him. We miss you dad and will always appreciate what you gave for us.
dieser Song lässt mich immer wieder traurig werden, weil er mir zeigt wie es sein könnte. Es ist ein toller Song - so nah am Leben und doch so weit entfernt. Alle die Ihre Kinder Lieben und diese dies auch zu verstehen wissen, wie kostbar das Alles ist und welchen Sinn es hat. Danke an Herrn Ronan Keating und Herrn Yusuf Islam / Cat Stevens. Herzlichen Dank
Mein Vater ist vor 3 Tagen 93 Jahre alt geworden. Er hat für seine Kinder immer sein letztes Hemd gegeben und mir in einer schwierigen Lebenssituation zur Seite gestanden und mich so vor einer miesen Zukunft bewahrt. Ich werde bis zu meinem letzten Atemzug für meinen Sohn da sein. Ehrensache.
My father passed away last week (28 Jul 2022) and he was a very very good man who loved the kids and gave everything until his last moment, this song brings so much memory, so much love he gave me and my siblings.
I'LL RECITE HIM AL-FATIHAH FROM TODAY ONWARDS SINCE MY DAD LEFT ME AND MY MUM FOR ANOTHER PRETTIER LADY WHEN I WAS ONLY 9 MONTS OLD. GLAD TO HEAR YOUR DAD WAS A GOOD MEN. FOR THAT HE HAS MY RESPECT.
It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still young that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down If you want, you can marry Look at me, I am old but I'm happy I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found Something going on And take your time, think a lot Think of everthing you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not How can I try to explain? When I do, he turns away again It's always been the same Same old story From the moment I could talk I was older to listen Now there's a way and I know That I have to go away I know, I have to grow I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found Something going on But take your time, think a lot Think of everthing you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not And all the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside And it's hard but it's harder to ignore it If they were right, I'd agree But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way and I know That I have to go away I know, I have to grow
My dad passed on 22-1-22, quite suddenly. Cat stevens, foreigner, toni childs, & phil collins were musicians that we both adored and bonded over, through covers and originals. Now those bonding moments of him sharing his favourite music with his teenaged daughter just destroy me. In amazing and horrible ways. His parents gave me my gift of music, dad was a mechanic then a truckie, being able to help him relive his childhood/musical dreams when i could will always be among my favourite memories.
I love his version, Ronan Keating has a great voice, Yusuf wrote a lovely song and his version was great but I always go to this one when I want to listen to the song.
Remembering when watching the video clip of this song on vh1 indonesia while staying at my grandfather's house, everyone who was accompanying me to watch this song is now in heaven...missing them...my grandfather, grandmother and father...😢
Beautiful song for all Dads and sons to hear! Sometimes it’s hard for men to express ❤️ glad to see this so it’s a help! As long as it’s about love it’ll work out!! I cried hearing it! ❤️❤️
As a Dad I'm 48 and it's still time to keep learning guys. my kid is a 20 yo smart fart programmer but I'm determined to do what he does and learn his job. Don't give up, life is for living.
The responsibility of every parent is to raise their kids better (even better than your own parents), it sounds like your doing a wonderful job, congrats. There's a good quote from a rather controversial movie that goes "we are what they grow beyond".
My dad was soldier in yugoslavia war. I wasn't born. I even have no picture of him. He died. Mother got killed through a bomb. I survived. This song is just great. Thanks
He has a amazing and distinctive voice, I love his Cat Stevens original and boyzones 90s cover but his voice in this version over the top of Ronans is 🔥
Ein sehr schöner Song. Er läuft oft zur Weihnachtszeit hier, weil dort Menschen ihr Herz öffnen und sich mehr um Familie und Geborgenheit kümmern. Ich mag den Song sehr.
This song describes my Dad and me. Here i am feeling the same way at 68 and he is 89 in a care home . The saddest thing we will never be close and i feel hurt over all those wasted years. Oh well that is life. Still i love cos him he is my Dad Ian
Nobody can replace my dad in my life. My father was passed away for 15 years ago. When I was listen this song I was remember my dad and I felt so sad. My dad I miss you so bAdly
Lost my dad in an accident at 10 years old but for those few years I knew him, he was my biggest hero and this song is close to my heart because the lyrics are sort of things he would have said to me if he was still alive
As a son i know how strong is the relationship between father and son but we never tell each other , fathers are the sun for sons world its burning but without the sun there is no live
Father and Son. Sebuah lirik lagu yang sangat saya kagumi tentang anak 'laki-laki' yang ingin cepat tumbuh dewasa dan menjadi 'pria'. Lirik ini adalah nasihat seorang ayah kepada anaknya bahwa menjadi pria bukan hal mudah. Butuh waktu, wawasan dan menjadi bijak menyikapi segala keinginan dan tantangan.14 Mei 2015
Mein Vater liegt zur Zeit im Sterben und ich kann wegen Corona nicht zu ihm. Es zerreißt mein Herz. Er war immer für mich und meine Geschwister da. Er hat großen Anteil an meiner Entwicklung und an dem was aus mir geworden ist. Ich werde ihm immer dankbar dafür sein. Ich versuche, meinem Sohn ein ähnlich guter Vater zu sein. Schwierige Nummer!!
My father left me where i was two.. happy for all have father beside u all.but my mother showed how strong she was.. raised five children..strugling feed us.. find money..take care of us.. she was superb women..what ever it take i can not repay what she was doing to us...mom.i miss u..😭😭😭😭😭 may Allah bless u all the time..
As an older sister, Im still struggling to reconnect the bonding between my brother and my Dad.. sometimes I play this song and hope my brother can hear the lyrics and try to open his heart and mind. Wish me luck everybody!
I am 14,My dad got a disease that he now cannot walk in like three months ago,I heard this song and I started to remember all my happy time with my dad,I am crying whenever I hear this song.I owe you a sorry my dad,I love you.
You owe your dad no apologies. As a father now I realised I thought I owed my dad apologies, all we want as dad's is for you to feel loved and happy as you can be. I wish you and your dad well ❤
Having recently lost my Dad to cancer back in 2015 and his birthday coming up at the start of september. This is a huge punch in the feels. I got on well with my Dad, but I only got chance to say how much I cared about him in the chapel of rest.
Beautiful video, today on my way to work. This song on the radio, tears in my eyes. I thought about an article i was reading. It told that the son of yusuf/cat brought him back to playing guitar and singing pop songs. 👍 Wonderful , how strong love is. Thank you , Yusuf/cat , Ronan and the son. You made it a little bit a better world. Many loving greetings.
Reminds me of my Dad. Always there for me and know every of my needs. No matter what I was his son and provides me with everything he can. Never felt insecure of my life my dad being by my side and I hope I can pass on the same unconditional love to my son.
It's my favourite Song ever! As my son was born, I play this Song everyday sssssssoooooooo long. I was and I'm very proud of him. Thank you Dear God, that we have us. This Song will always be in our hearts.
This song makes me cry because my father is old now and I can’t do anything to help him I do my best to understand him now is so hard but I’m thankful I ll be there for him till the last day.
Our story is different. Our father has always been eager to work all week long for some good deed. But he never make time to spend with us complaining about this and that, so we always feel it’s our fault. The pain and longing for dad has teared our hearts apart. And now that he is so old and still working (because he want to help this brother or sister if his) we fear loosing him and yet not spending enough time with him. We blame him in our heart for neglecting us and turning into a mother Theresa. We still need him though we are over 30. So for you whom read this, don’t make kids unless you are truly aware of what it means.
I love my father more than anything in the world. Losing him has been the saddest thing in my life. He was not only my biological father but was the mentor of my spiritual journey as well. I have always loved my father far more than I ever loved my mother. RIP dad !! Love YOU !
when Cat Stevens said "you don't have to go" on the last part, is like telling his young self that the son dont have to go. In reference to his original song
My father died one year ago to the day.... he said, with his last breath, as I moved closer to his death bed, 'son, that was a shit cover, wasn't that cvnt in Bewitched?'. I didn't have the heart to tell him, 'no, Dad, it was Westlife'. I'll never forget the fury in his eyes as they closed for the last time. RIP Dad.
I miss my dad more than I can think of I ever would.. All things he said like turn that music down.. Turn them lights off. & I'm doing it with my daughter now.. & exactly the same reply.. Ya getting old. Luv ya dad & miss ya till we meet again u & me brother xx
2021 and this song still gets to me reminding me (now that dads gone) of how he was the one person I could talk to about anything teaching me everything I know 😭😭😇😇
This song was one I listended , when I was about garduate, and wrote an essay 'bout the story... I have 2 sons and a daughter. One of my sons is in military career, and the younger's are in bussines careers. This song is my soundtrack of my life.... .
Happy to hear your version… I m just father since couple hours of 3rd child …but first boy…. You can’t imagine the feeling I have listening Yusuf’s version….and yours … it makes me cry a lot …… happy tears….. thanks
We have not seen our son for 6 years. These are the words I pray to say to him one day. Nick if you are out there please know how much we love you. Nothing is ever going to change what ever. We have no conditions to our love Love from mum and dad
This must have been one of Yusef’s first performances on his return. That is what makes it special. This and “Living Years” by Mike and the Mechanic are two of the most moving songs ever written.
What I'd have given to have a dad that took part in my life when I was younger. Can't complain though. Not having him has actually made me give more, feel more and appreciate more. Beautiful song
It's now 2024, i'm 33 and father of two beautiful childs. Still crying every time i hear this song.
I believe everyone of us have our song for that reason. Mine being “Dance with my Father” by Luther Vandross 😢
Looser
😢 I remember my sons dad singing this to my son has a baby listening to the words now that he had to go away hurts 😢
Well done...the road can be rocky, but hey hold on, family is what life 🧬 is all about... God 🙏 Bless all of your young family.
Our kids are now 38, 36 and 25....And the dad passed away one year ago...😮😮😮😮.....Me and this wonderful person are divorced, but we had ever the sight by the kids......😮😢😢......This song is, a little bit, the song of our life....I was the person with a horrible past, just as my first husband....We both had a crawefull youth.....I could't stand with it.....😢....He was on my side, when nobody want it....I miss him so much......I miss our three children....I'm so sorry....😮😢😮😢😮😢
Lots of guys have difficulty telling their dads how much they mean to them. Don't leave it too late fellas.
I left it too late sadly my dad died before i got to tell him how i wish i could turn back the clock to spend time with him.
im afraid i share that feeling with you my friend its hard sometimes it was with both parents with me though
James Hanley I'm sorry

Wow..that was very touching. I hope you and your father had made peace in that moment.. bless you
Congratulations for being a wonderful son
we have same story, bro/sis.. i also took care of my father when he was stroke. i even resigned from my job. may God grant our fathers His heaven..
I also had a cancer dad
How I knew my dad loved me:
1. He bought expensive clothes for me and cheap clothes for himself.
2. He bought me a new pair of shoes every year and a new pair for himself every few years.
3. He was the only one who wanted me to be more successful than he was.

Your comment makes me cry dude, seriously😥
So true dude...
I can only hope u find peace! Ur dad loved u soooooooo much
I’ve never really had a relationship with my dad, but this song makes me feel sad over something I never had
thats propably why you became gay
@@MultiTwentyseven don’t really understand your logic behind that but ok.
That's the beauty of a brilliant song. "Touches the soul" as they say.
@@jordand7744 classy...ignore the trolls

Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam , one of the greatest songwriters of our time.
Indeed, I heard He was 22 when he wrote this song.
isn't amazing right?

Miss my dad so bad. Dont postpone your days with your parents, once you loose them you will regret a lot.
No Phones In Heaven.
"Dad, can I have a hug please?" Ask before it's too late or just do it.
@Asylanten TV hugs for you
Andy, yes yes yes.
I wish I could but its too late now....
@@luciddream5055 that's sad. I wish you well.
I asked so many times before my dad leaves this world. And now, even if i cry i feel their hands in my shoulder. I miss their hugs.
Thank you Ronan for bringing Yusuf (Cat Stevens) back to us, those who loved Cat Stevens great music.

Sorry ❤
A good father is a true gift and to be a good father , you must appreciate the gift you have been given.
Your father sounds like a wise man.
When Mr Yusuf Islam start singing, it's like
my father talking to me..
I miss him
Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) is a legend. This beautifully crafted song frothing with meaning and wisdom always gets me.
Im here in 2023, loved Yusuf's version and simply love Rohans too❤
Lost my father 3 years ago suddenly. He got only 63. That song touches my soul. ❤
2024 and it still hits hard
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
And take your time, think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain?
When I do, he turns away again
It's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was older to listen
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to grow
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
And all the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to grow

I love his version, Ronan Keating has a great voice, Yusuf wrote a lovely song and his version was great but I always go to this one when I want to listen to the song.
I am finally a father, after 8years of waiting. Almost hopeless. But now, this song hits different.
Remembering when watching the video clip of this song on vh1 indonesia while staying at my grandfather's house, everyone who was accompanying me to watch this song is now in heaven...missing them...my grandfather, grandmother and father...😢
Hi guys it’s 2021, take a minute or two and sit with me and enjoy this song as we think back through 2020. ❤️
I'm listening in 2076
Beautiful song for all Dads and sons to hear! Sometimes it’s hard for men to express ❤️ glad to see this so it’s a help! As long as it’s about love it’ll work out!! I cried hearing it! ❤️❤️
As a Dad I'm 48 and it's still time to keep learning guys. my kid is a 20 yo smart fart programmer but I'm determined to do what he does and learn his job. Don't give up, life is for living.
Hope your still doing your bit my friend
The responsibility of every parent is to raise their kids better (even better than your own parents), it sounds like your doing a wonderful job, congrats.
There's a good quote from a rather controversial movie that goes "we are what they grow beyond".
We have a Job available
My dad was soldier in yugoslavia war. I wasn't born. I even have no picture of him. He died. Mother got killed through a bomb. I survived. This song is just great. Thanks
This always gets to me. Being a father and a son. We all know the value of our loved ones. Cherish everyday. ❤
As a muslim i am really proud that Cat Steven was the only muslim that got roll into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame...

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) is a legend. Ronan Keating has done justice to this sing. Never seen a better cover
Reminds me of my Dad. Always there for me and know every of my needs. No matter what I was his son and provides me with everything he can. Never felt insecure of my life my dad being by my side and I hope I can pass on the same unconditional love to my son.
It's my favourite Song ever!
As my son was born, I play this Song everyday sssssssoooooooo long.
I was and I'm very proud of him.
Thank you Dear God, that we have us.
This Song will always be in our hearts.
This song makes me cry because my father is old now and I can’t do anything to help him I do my best to understand him now is so hard but I’m thankful I ll be there for him till the last day.
My dad been gone for over 7 years and I still miss him and always will this song is a great song. Always tell your dad you love him.
This brings back so many memories, and now as a father myself about to loose my son to a rare disease I can't seem to stop listening to this.
Our story is different. Our father has always been eager to work all week long for some good deed. But he never make time to spend with us complaining about this and that, so we always feel it’s our fault.
The pain and longing for dad has teared our hearts apart. And now that he is so old and still working (because he want to help this brother or sister if his) we fear loosing him and yet not spending enough time with him. We blame him in our heart for neglecting us and turning into a mother Theresa. We still need him though we are over 30. So for you whom read this, don’t make kids unless you are truly aware of what it means.
I love my father more than anything in the world. Losing him has been the saddest thing in my life. He was not only my biological father but was the mentor of my spiritual journey as well. I have always loved my father far more than I ever loved my mother. RIP dad !! Love YOU !
My dad who died in 2013 loved this song. Still here on Christmas Eve 2021 and every year after that!
i'm a father of two sons one grand daughter..i'm 43 years old..i proud of this song
1,5 week ago I saw my father after 7 years and now I listen to this song. Beautiful!! Ronan Keating is one of the best singers from early 2000
This was a favourite of my dad who I sadly lost in 2011, rip dad you will be always in my memory.
:) thats sad may he rest in peace .. heart touching words 💔
+moony des Thank you, and have a great Christmas..
+Paul Wilson so sorry for ur lost may his soul have peace and u have an amazing life
Rose Noor Thank you, sincerely. : )
RIP
when Cat Stevens said "you don't have to go" on the last part, is like telling his young self that the son dont have to go. In reference to his original song
My father died one year ago to the day.... he said, with his last breath, as I moved closer to his death bed, 'son, that was a shit cover, wasn't that cvnt in Bewitched?'. I didn't have the heart to tell him, 'no, Dad, it was Westlife'. I'll never forget the fury in his eyes as they closed for the last time. RIP Dad.
I miss my dad more than I can think of I ever would.. All things he said like turn that music down.. Turn them lights off. & I'm doing it with my daughter now.. & exactly the same reply.. Ya getting old. Luv ya dad & miss ya till we meet again u & me brother xx
My uncle's been gone 9 years and this was his favorite song brings so many flashbacks still. Makes me cry every time I hear it.
2021 and this song still gets to me reminding me (now that dads gone) of how he was the one person I could talk to about anything teaching me everything I know 😭😭😇😇
thats who I felt with my uncle I lost 2 years ago.
so much emotion in one song, it makes me think of my dad (who's still alive but lives in northern Ireland and I live in England)
Adam T northern Ireland best wee country
Saw Ronan in concert in 2005 where he sang Father and Son with Cat Stevens (who was on fllm). It was magical.
Thank you for being such an amazing fan of my music, who has never stopped loving and appreciating me. 🌺
"For you will stll be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not" Hits hard.
I miss u dad... ❤❤❤❤
Одна из лучших в мире песен, на тему Отец и Сын, и два из лучших певцов!!!!
Great cover by Ronan.
In this cover he is the son and Yusuf is the father
Listened to this song in my teens, twenties and about to hit 40... nothing beats experience in life!
This song was one I listended , when I was about garduate, and wrote an essay 'bout the story... I have 2 sons and a daughter. One of my sons is in military career, and the younger's are in bussines careers. This song is my soundtrack of my life....
.
Happy to hear your version…
I m just father since couple hours of 3rd child …but first boy…. You can’t imagine the feeling I have listening Yusuf’s version….and yours … it makes me cry a lot …… happy tears….. thanks
I grew up with this song. It made me an adult when I was a child. Now I'm an adult still enjoying my childhood.
Great song written by a great artist, Cat Stevens (Yusuf) and performed with the awesome voice of Ronan Keating, another great artist.
It's now 2023. And I'm suffering from stage 5 kidney disease. Life's rough. But this song. Are one of life's simple pleasures
We have not seen our son for 6 years. These are the words I pray to say to him one day.
Nick if you are out there please know how much we love you. Nothing is ever going to change what ever. We have no conditions to our love
Love from mum and dad
This must have been one of Yusef’s first performances on his return. That is what makes it special. This and “Living Years” by Mike and the Mechanic are two of the most moving songs ever written.
Did not expect Ronan to be able to do this. But he is. Respect !
What I'd have given to have a dad that took part in my life when I was younger. Can't complain though. Not having him has actually made me give more, feel more and appreciate more. Beautiful song
I am breathless. I forgot I listened to this song one thousand times. But I forgot this song. It was faded away. Thank you for coming back.
The most important thing is that feeling you derived from listening to the song and how it makes you feel is
How are you doing and where are you watching from
i miss you dad
