Great song, amazing artist!: "Peace Train", "Wild World", "Moonshadow", "Morning has broken", "Lady D'Arbanville"...and many others!
The Wind is my personal favorite
Remember the days in the old school yard... It came out in my high school days, and when I hear it, I think back to those days.
When my son was born, I listened to this song every night while I gave him his bottle after his bath and before bed (after the bassinet by the bed phase).
Can't keep it in is a belter
thank you for doing this song. it's a very personal one for me. love you guys.
This father and son conversation sounds just like my father and me, back in the day. My pops is 97 now and thankfully he is still with us, hopefully he will be with us awhile longer. He had more wisdom than I gave him credit for back then.
Hey cool ! My dad is 87 and here’s hoping he actually makes it to 97 !!
Good luck to you both, I lost my dad 2 years ago and its a great loss that we all have to face unfortunately. Make sure you say and talk about everything you need to, one day it will be too late unfortunately.
@@kevcall Sorry to hear !
@@MrManfly he was 90 so I really can't complain I guess but it's always difficult no matter how much time you have and spend together.. Things come up that you think, ah I'll ask dad but..
There's an old quote by Mark Twain... "When I was 18, I thought my father was the stupidest man on the planet. By the time I turned 21, it amazed me how much that old man had learned in 3 years."
His "Tea for the Tillerman" is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
Great artist, fantastic song!!!
Cat's album "Tea for the Tillerman" is one of the greatest and one of my all-time favorites!!!🎶👌👍✌😀
Second that!..You beat me to it..The entire album is great...Not a dog in the bunch.
Same for "Teaser and the Firecat". He was at the top of his form with those two albums.
Great album, all time favorite
He’s a great singer and songwriter and I would agree this is my favorite album
My hippy babysitter gave me the album the year it came out 1972 I was 4 and it is my all time fav as well Yes Sir I agree
You should hear his 50 year anniversary remake of this song. He sings the father parts in his now 70 + voice, but used the original tapes of himself in his 20s for the son parts. Incredible.
would love to hear that
It's here on UA-cam along with a video
Yes... it's a song for all generations x
Wow! I'd like to see that. Thanks
Cat Stevens is one of a kind. So much meaning to his songs and such a unique and personable voice. Great trip down memory lane. Great job!
Car Stevens has so many great songs, you can’t go wrong choosing any of his songs to react to.
Cat has always held a special place in my heart
Mitchell A J - Mine too. Got me through a lot of trauma in my youth, in a very abusive adoptive household.
I am old now and this song still gets to me. Missing my dad, even more than ever.
They say it gets easier but i find that time can be a great nurse but a lousy companion
The great Cat Stevens had so many great songs with meaningful lyrics and of course his amazing voice.
HAS. He's still here.
I was in my 20s in the early 1970s. I recall that when friends got together, someone would pick up a guitar and play & sing something by Cat Stevens. He was hugely popular.
My mother has always said she wanted this song played at her funeral. This is one of cat Stevens best. Dig into some cat Stevens. He was my favorite artist in the '70s.
Love Cat Stevens, had great songs in the seventies. "Moon Shadow" "Oh Very Young" "Morning Has Broken" are some great ones. ☮️✌️💕👌
"Moon Shadow", "Another Saturday Night"(and I Ain't Got Nobody), "Peace Train", "Morning Has Broken", and "Wild World" are a few more great ones by Cat Stevens. ❤ you guys !! Another great reaction! Thanks for bringing people together through music 🎶
You have to listen to “Wild World” by Cat Stevens. One of my all time favorite songs ever written. Trust me. ❤️😁
If I had to pick 10 best written songs that I have heard in my lifetime, this song would be in the top 3! Cat Stevens is an excellent songwriter, singer and is a legend and this song will be played for many generations
Cat Stevens has truly kept me from dying from a broken heart. I adore this man. He goes by his Muslim name, Yusuf Islam, now. He will always be the sublimely fabulous Cat Stevens to many of us. I adore this man and his music. Please read his story...he left music when he was at the top of his game in order to follow his new faith, Islam. It took years for him to understand how important his music was, and is.
Cat Stevens "Wild World" & "Morning Has Broken"
The calm voice is the father the agitated voice is the son ... fantastic song ...
My father is fighting Alzheimer's disease, and no longer remembers who I am. Even though he's still alive, I've lost him. This song kills me every time I hear it. Every single time.
This song use to make me cry when I was young since I was not in good term with my father !
Good reaction, team.
The line "From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen" is pivotal to this song. As a parent you need to keep your kid safe and well and teach him/her. But you must allow your offspring to grow and blossom. Getting that balance is impossible.
As a child you have to listen and realise that your parents are not deliberately stifling you and are attempting to provide the best environment for you to grow. Understanding that is nigh on impossible.
So reconciliation tends to happen after the kids have flown the nest, usually when they have kids of their own. But sometimes the reconciliation never happens.
You may gather that this song brings me to reflect on my own life.
Someone commented that hearing this tune on the same day with CSN&Y singing OHIO was amazing. When young people were drafted and shipped to a foreign war, the protests were ignored until they became too hard to ignore. Like 'Teach Your Children Well' both sides need to be seen and understood. There can be wisdom on both sides of father and son.
Ohhh. Cat Stevens, wow! He’s amazing. He is a folk singer, a poet that puts beauty to music. His vocals are gritty and sweet all at the same time. I’ve heard his songs at folk festivals, at country events and 60s reminiscing concerts. And I went to catholic school and back in the 60s we had folk masses. We sang Morning Has Broken in church to single acoustic guitar. He conjures many emotions and memories to a different time. Very 60s. VERY!
Yeah that gritty voice. I knew the song was old, and before I saw his picture I thought he was too when he did this song. But he was young, probably in his 20s or early 30s. The irony is that he's old now, and sound exactly the same.
My Dad loved Cat Stevens and ever since he passed away when I hear this song it breaks my heart and makes me miss my Dad so much.
It's amazing that by changing his tone in the song, you can tell when the father is speaking and when the son is without him telling you..... beautiful.....can't listen to this without goosebumps
The magic of Cat Stevens. Grew up with his music and got to see him in Memphis TN back in 1976. His live voice sounds just like his recorded voice.... AN UNBELIEVABLE SOUND! Anything from his Tea for the Tillerman or his Catch Bull at Four records will do. Great reaction, TY. My favorite song by this artist has always been Where do the Children Play.
I was at that concert in Memphis in '76.
I was 16 when this song came out in 1970 and I learned it from a Cat Stevens song book and sang and played it on my guitar all the time, totally feeling the Son's part about having to rebel, break away, find myself. Last year, my 22-year old son heard the song somewhere and texted me to ask If I "had ever heard of it."
I found that old songbook from 50 years ago and it fell open to Father and Son from my having played it so often back then. I texted him back, "Yeah, I have." I started singing it again, and of course, now I relate to the Father wanting to pass on his wisdom to the Son who is out in the world finding himself. And yeah, I'm choking up a bit as I tell this.
His "soulfullness" is because he's singing from his heart. One of the finest musical story tellers.
Cat Stevens "How can I tell you" 🙌
The most beautiful song I've ever heard
His songs are beautiful , I learned "Morning has broken ". In school around 5 yes old. I'm 56 and still listen to Cat. He's fantastic 😊
probably one of the greatest story tellers that could put music over it.
Cat Stevens is a very talented individual and written and performed many great songs from the late 60’s through the 70’s!
i lost my Dad almost 4 years ago. This hits home big time.
I love how the conversation is told from both sides and how you can just tell who is speaking the father or the son from the tone of Cat’s voice! Great reaction guys 😎
Nice reaction. Like everyone has mentioned already, he has so many fabulous songs; too many to list. When my sister was 14 and I was 11, she got one of his first greatest hits albums in 1975 and for months straight we listened to the entire album every night at bedtime 😊.
Great Folk Singer
When I was a teenager I would sit and listen to him for ever and ever. Such a calm, beautiful voice
I have been fortunate to have a guitar duet partner for 31 years. We met as hired musicians at a church in St Paul in 1990 and have been playing together since (although mostly secular music since 1992). We split the parts so I do the father parts and Tim does the son parts. It also allows us to do the overlapping parts in the last couple verses. Cat Stevens has a lot of really good songs, some of which I've played over the years. Good stuff!
He sings my all time favorite, Morning Has Broken. I love his voice and he’s so easy to look at!!
Have always love Cat Steven's music. He is a great singer songwriter with a very unique sounding voice. One of my first albums I ever bought was his "Tea For The Tillerman". The whole album is great. So is the album "Teaser & The Firecat". His first big hits were "Matthew & Son", "I Love My Dog" & "The First Cut Is The Deepest" in 1967. He has had so many great songs in his career such as "Father & Son", "Wild World", "Moonshadow", "Peace Train", "Morning Has Broken" etc. He is still recording & performing live & his voice still sounds great.
"Where do the children play" is also an excellent song by Cat Stevens.
@@Rhiannon011 I loved all the more well known song's of Cat Stevens just like a lot of other people. Played them over and over and would even skip over the lesser known songs on records to hear the greats. Then (probably from a little burnout) I started listening more to the lesser knowns and "Where do the Children Play" has now been one of my favorites for a long time.
"Morning Has Broken" "Peace Train" "MoonShadow" "Wild World" should be next. He did a great cover of "Another Saturday Night"
One of those songs that hits you in the gut and doubles you over. Always has. At 21, I got on an airplane and left a home in which I was not understood or welcomed. Cat's music has alway had a spot in my heart.
This is the song used when Yondu’s funeral is going on in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Brilliant usage.
Cat Stevens Is A Legendary Music Icon...Whenever You Want To Listen To Beautiful Music With Incredible Lyrics,, Just Pick ANY Cat Stevens Song & Play.
What a great song writer!! All his songs have so much meaning! Very much a part of the 70’s sound! Meaningful!
it is amazing how much smarter your father becomes as you get older.
This is my favourite Cat Stevens song. And he has many many more hits. This song initially was a song Stevens wrote for a movie on the Russian civil war about a father begging his son to not leave n go to war. But the project was sidelined by Cat’s hospitalization due to TB. When he recovered he redid some of the lyrics and released it in his own album, Tea For The Tillerman which by the way is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
I worked for Yusuf Islam [aka Cat Stevens] in the 1980s. It's great to see you finally get around to this great songwriter.
I grew up with is incredible sounds, songs and melodies. He does have a unique voice and it is very guiding. He has a few others that you would enjoy such as Wild World, Peace Train, Moonshadow and so many more! He wrote a couple of children's book as well. A bit of magic right there.
He has a wonderful and unique voice. but also a deep soul so yes that his emotions coming threw,,,, it does in all his songs ,
I lost my dad 6 years ago and it still feels like yesterday, I have a son and tell him every day I love him we can lead our children in the right direction and provide wisdom but they also have to learn for themselves. This song reminds me of what a great dad I have and want to be and how he inspired me to be the man I am today.
One of the best lines ever - "From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen".
First time A&B!
You kids are fabulous!
Adorable too!
Thanks for not interrupting the music, your comments coming after. Bravo!!!
Cat Stevens is amazing. He had a lot of great songs in the 1970’s and beyond. “Morning Has Broken” is a beautiful one to check out. 🌺✌️
I knew your head shaking would change when his voiced went up a few octaves, loved this man growing up in the seventies, later on he kept himself out off the public eye thankfully he is blessed us again with his music.
Born Steven Demetre Georgiou 1948 in London to a Greek/Turkish father & a Swedish mother & his parents operated the Moulin Rouge! He dated Carly Simon in the early 70s & she wrote the song "anticipation" about him! He had a religious experience in 1977, gave up music, converted to a Muslim, changed his name to Yusuf {Arabic for Joseph} Islam & he & his wife spend most of their time living in Dubai! He was also put on a "watch list" & prohibited from coming to the US after 9/11 but was taken off the list after 2 years! Father & son is my favorite song by him that I dedicated to the birth of my son 32 years ago! PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌☮
He was the first concert I went to as a kid 1969 I was 11 yo, Always have loved Cat Stevens
Back in the 70s we had to sing this meaningful song at school . I love all Cat Steven’s music .
Beautiful song beautiful message as you can see he has one voice and then he changes it up. One is the father and 1 is the son.
Expressing their feelings.
A Must Hear Classic With A Message For Us ALL,, Ralph McTell "Streets Of London"
The deep voice is the father the high voice is the son. His songs are spiritual he later became a Muslim cleric
I was in love with Cat Stevens, definitely my type,lol. Love his lyrics, and his voice is unforgettable. Thank you for playing this memorable tune.
Our pleasure!
I immediately memorized the entire album of Tea For The Tillerman when it came out in 1970, and sang it constantly (probably drove family and friends crazy). I was 13. I recently learned that one of his first big hits in the UK, "I Love My Dog (More Than I Love You)," was based on a melody by another of my musical heroes, Yusef Lateef!
This song is almost 50 years old and it still resonates with me
Legendary singer songwriter who left the business on a religious journey changing his name decades ago. Guarantee you have heard at least 3 or 4 of his many hits such as Peace Train, First Cut is the Deepest,Where Do The Children splay, Morning Has Broken, Hard Headed Woman, and Old Schoolyard!
Grew up listening to Cat Steven’s and absolutely love all of his songs
Great song and artist!! I believe one of the most poinient lyrics is often overlooked…the father tells his son “I was once like you are now, and I know it’s not easy…to be calm when there’s something going on” trying to let his son know that he was in his shoes and understands the frustration…Tea for the Tillerman was one of the first LP’s I bought in 1970…will always be a classic - beautiful acoustic guitar
Literally grew up singing this song. Then I left high school three weeks before graduation for the Army, lived in eight states and drove truck for a decade. I knew I had to go.
The Boy With The Moon and Stars On His Head ,,,,,,,,,is beautiful,,,i saw him live twice
Great classic song which tells a excellent story. My father passed away 2 years ago at the age of 92. I
A uneducated man who provided by becoming an auto mechanic. Him and my mother were married 63 years. I learn and loved.
Yes you got it it is a conversation his low voice is the father and the high voice is the son. You are the first to understand that it is a conversation.
I would have thought this was just a beautiful song before Guardians of the Galaxy 2…but now it wrecks me. I am crying by the second verse. I love this song, great reaction!
He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.
Just beautiful lyrics, i never get tired of the cat!
Yusuf Islam is an amazing artist. He writes beautiful songs. A couple of my favorites of his are Wild World, Peace Train and Where do the children play
He has done version of this with his older self singing the father part to his younger version. It's really good, has real meaning because he's now believes the advice given.
Such a beautiful message. Soulful, insightful. Advice to help foster a life well lived.
Cat Stevens totally informed my "formative years" and many of his songs connect beautiful memories--playing guitar while my sister sang "Morning Has Broken" at our church's Easter sunrise service, singing "Moonshadow" to my baby brother as we made our way through the woods at night to keep him from being scared, dancing and singing with my groovy friends to "Peace Train". I remember hearing about people burning their Cat Stevens albums when he dropped out of the music industry after he converted to Islam. What idiots. So glad I still have all of mine.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your sweet memories 😊 ❤ 💕
Love Cat Stevens, always on my playlist!!
He's been around since the 60's. he is 73 now. He converted to Islam in 1977, then sold all his guitars in 1979 for charity & quit music completely, devoting himself to his new religion. Wild world is probably my favorite song by him.
This song invokes all kinds of emotions in which you can clearly hear in his voice. It brought me to tears, the first time I heard it, I still fight it. It just hits home, ya know? Cat Stevens has lots of hits, like "Oh Very Young", "Peace Train", "Morning Has Broken", "Moon Shadow", "Another Saturday Night" and "Wild World", any of these would be a great choice to do next. This was an excellent reaction, thanks!
Cat Stevens wrote so many beautiful songs!
So awesome 😁😁 do the video. More please..love Cat Stevens you can't go wrong with his voice!!!
It’s like you two never left.
Cat Stevens exploded on the scene in 1971 with his signature song "Wild World", from his debut album "Tea For The Tillerman", and was followed the next year with "Teaser And The Firecat...Both albums were packed with beautiful songs that would become classics...I just loved his music from the start..His voice is so unique and powerful, and is instantly recognizable from the first lyric...
Your reacting to a lot of the music of my youth.....Makes me smile :)
Peace Train By CAT STEVENS ☮️🙏😁🎸🎵👍 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BJ
You MUST watch Harold and Maude from 1971 the entire film is only his music. Classic
I played and sang this at my daughter’s wedding 7 years ago. Such a beautiful song! Thanks for the reaction. You made my day! 😎🎶❤
That is awesome!
GREAT song. Hits you in the feels.
He was the biggest music star in the world at one point. He had a huge numbers of hits and sold millions of records. The songs have aged well. Tuneful and well produced.
Such a great song. So glad he came back to the music.
More than a reaction, this was more thoughtful analysis from you Asia and BJ. You are good listeners and good consensus builders. The album this was from (Tea For The Tillerman) was gifted to me by one of my 7th grade teachers. She correctly guessed it would impact me for the rest of my life. I am 62 now and playing it for my grandkids. Thank you.
You should check out Moonshadow by Cat Stevens, My dad used to sing that song to me at bedtime when I was little. My favourite Cat Stevens song by far
Great song. Always a great reaction ❤
I have always loved this song. He had so many more that are great. It's great to see you reacting to such a variety of music. Love you guys.
I bought this album when I was 12 and over all these many years it brings back so many memories ❤❤
He perfectly captures both the voices of the father and then the son. Always gives me shivers
Beautiful song. Thank you for doing this one.
Love Cat Stevens/ Yusuf, like " Hard Headed Woman, Matthew and Son, Old School Yard, Wild World, How Can I Tell You.
