Summer of 1975/76 I was an OG valley girl. I smoked my 1st joint with a boy from across the street. Mark was cute, long brown hair and a great guitar player. We didn't hang out much, I was more friends with his younger brother. on another hot sunny day we were sitting on his wall, he grabbed his guitar and played/sang me this song as I danced around singing the parts I knew, just being me and Mark just being Mark. After he finished he smiled and said I'm going to miss you....I'm leaving for college soon. I was sad but happy for him. We hugged said goodbye and I never saw him again. It was just a frozen moment in time that was pure and genuine and I will never forget that song, the words he sang for me.

Cat's songs always bring me back to a simpler time. I was a young girl, it was the 1970s and the world was, quite literally, an entire different planet. I love listening to his music because I miss that world...

I have loved his music since I was 17.I am going to be 68 this month,and I will always love his music!THANK YOU,YOU ARE WONDERFUL!

I came from a musical family and I remember when I was a little girl in the 80's, my grandfather, uncles, cousins bring out the guitars, banjos, fiddles and playing this song and my aunts would sing and I would join in. Man I love and miss that

I miss my mom so much, my father too Life is just not the same since they died. It never will be.

Im 21 years old listening to all these oldschool rock jems that my parents fortunately had me hooked on since i was much younger, ill never stop,AMEN till infinity

Cat Stevens was a fantastic musician...I am 54 yrs old now, but my Dad and I listened to Cat on the daily♥️

Who doesn't like Cat Stevens music. I am 61 & I still listen to his music. We grew up in a time when this music was so great. I miss this kind of music.

My mom LOVED Cat Stevens!! And I have too from a young age. I'm 50 , mom passed last October. I've been listening to Cat Stevens often . And the feelings and tears flood over me every time. God bless Cat Stevens and thank you for the feelings and memory's you've captured in time ( for me) with your music

My boyfriend of five years dedicated this song to me in 1971 when I was about to make a journey back to the UK from Australia; If you are still around Clayton, I have never forgotten you.

I'm 61 now. My aunt was his manager. I grew up with his music in my head and heart every day!

I turned 14 in 1970 and seems like my teenage years were spent in a different galaxy from Earth today. Im so glad I know what the 70s were really like and would go back in a heartbeat. I would not trade 1 day of the '70s for 100 days of any year since.

When I was young and sang this song, it was about a lover moving on. Today as a mother I sing it to my grown-up son. Such a poignant song. 💖

Cat Steven's music will live forever!!!

As the youngest of 4 born in 65.... CAT STEVENS was played regularly. His music takes me back to such a simpler time with many great memories. Thank you

And what a wild world it is now! Love his music - love him - love his artistry- love his peace and love for his fellow man. Coming from a fellow Greek who respects all faiths.

This guy is everything. I listened to his "best of" tape in my mom's car as I just started driving and she allowed me to drive her car on my own in the neighbourhood. I would sing so loud along to it. Now I am 42 and playing it for my son. We both sing along to it now. Lyrics to die for.

1970’s 80’s is absolutely different , everything was simple people was kind and l miss my childhood 😔

I was 19 and alone and pregnant with my oldest daughter and I was crying because I always wanted to teach her things were not always good but try to find the good in people and what you do.. but beware... Absolutely everything he was singing... This song is what I felt for her! 🙏❤️

Simply love him, his music has helped me through the worst year of my life. That says a lot!

my father use to play this song in he's vw station wagon. when he came home. i d go play the cassette player and I remember crying and since then when I hear that song it reminds me of me and my dad.

i remember my older brother playing his music back in 70's... damn. that stuff grew on me and @ 57 i find it on youtube,, a blast from the past

I was a child growing up in the 70's .I remember my mother singing along to this song.Cat Stevens was one of her favorite singers.She taught me my love of music.I will never forget that moment.Ever!!!

Love you Cat. thanks for helping me grow up.

I had this played to my soul mate at her funeral. One of the most beautiful songs. I remember our first time together.

J'avais 19 ans, j'étais réceptionniste saisonnière et traînais mon "tourne-disques" (c'est ainsi que cela s'appelait à l'époque) et, pendant mes temps de repos, j'écoutais en boucle les chansons de Cat Stevens et tant d'autres chanteurs qui remplissaient mon coeur d'allégresse...La vie coulait comme du miel, remplie de nos espérances folles...c'étaient les "tendres années"... Qu'avons-nous fait de ce monde ???...

The world is truly blessed to have cat stevens and his music.🌹

I love you brother Yusuf. ♥️ Now my three sons listen to your music. I raised them right!

I'm only 19 y's old but I love to listen this kind of song❤️ Harmony 🔥

Beautiful song. You are a living legend. May Allah protect and grant you a long and peaceful life. Inchallah. 🙏👍. Thank you for making us dream.

I hated that song when I was a kid. Now I listen to the powerful meaning and I love it. Thank God for each day.

Played this for my little girl when she left find her fortunes in the big city. We still lve each other so much, and she remembers. She says she'll play it to her daughter when its her time to move on. One of the best songwriters ever. Thanks Cat/Yusif

My dad had a collection of CDs from this era. Cat Stevens was sometimes in the queue and I can remember listening to this one as a girl. Still brings back fond memories.

I will always love the music of Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam as a young man or now as an older man! Please keep singing!

One of the best of ever ..Cat Stevens a true artist : voice, pure talent, excellent music and lyrics, immortal songs !

Unbelievablely great song. I'm only 42 but should have been born in the late 40's. ALL the music of the 50s 60s 70s were just FANTASTIC! Music gets me out of bed in the morning and gives me sweet dreams at night. Thanks to all the musicians

Such a gorgeous soul. Thank you for the Love, Cat. ✨💖✨🕊🙏🌻

I have three grown daughters. This song always brings a tear to my eyes thinking about them being little girls, growing up, and heading out on their own.

Cat Steven's was n is one of my favorite singer's. I loved Wild World back in the 1970's when this world was just so great n easy to deal with.

Thinking back to the year 1971 music like this so soothing and warmth all around especially Cat Stevens songs

I love cat Steven's. I believe he was, is, and will be always be a beautiful man and has immense depth. I would not have left the man. I don't even know his age, background and it has no relevance. He's a beautiful soul. Thank you

One of the 20 greatest lyrics of all time. Simple as that.

I have always had a crush on Cat Stevens, what a knock out back then and now.

I've never seen a better looking human being in my life! And what a voice!!! Sends chills....

I have always loved Cat,Steven's music. I grew up in the 70's. His music has always so great. Till this day I will always love ❤ Cat Stevens & his awesome music 🎶 🎵 ♥ 🍀 .

Un dei piu' bravi cantanti degli anni 70.....BRAVO.Amico di Mimi' e adorabile per le serate passate ad ascoltarVi

As a teenager in Britain I had this LP. I loved Sad Lisa. I have met this man in Toronto many years ago. All people we travel a road. I saw him as Yusuf Islam. Allamduallah. We do not know where the road takes us. I also read about his early life as a pop star. But look at him now. Some of us are joined together. For we take many roads. On the road to find to find our place but we are all connected in some way. At the moment I cry for humanity. All the people that have died. We are all human beings. Our world is in chaos. Believe. M.T.

This IS the version I adore and remember from when it was first released and still is my favourite of his. What a voice and musician.

He rocked then n again n again..Cat Stevens..sublime talent n i love this song still!

I luv'd Cat, in the 70's, but did not fully appreciate the music til i got older. Now, It's songs we can all learn from. It's all about loving, learning and being good people

Still my fav Cat Stevens song. It will always be 'in my heart'.. it always makes me cry .. but makes me full of hope too!

Now that I've lost everything to you You say you wanna start something new And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin' Baby, I'm grievin' But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there [Chorus:] Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world I'll always remember you like a child, girl You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do And it's breakin' my heart in two Because I never wanna see you a sad girl Don't be a bad girl But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware [Chorus] Baby, I love you But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Simply beautiful ❤️

This song is so amazing....takes me way back. It has always made me kind of sad, but in a good sort of way....if that even makes sense. :)

Mister cat Steven you were Realyl a part of my life with your music in morrocco. Thank you for this beautiful songs and souvenirs.

He doesn't want her to leave but he lets her go lovingly and truly wishes her well. My abuser did not want me to go, made me feel unworthy. But when I listened to this song, his gentle voice and his respect for her choice, it helped me feel valued enough to go, to venture out and start a new life..I remember the exact moment; I felt like I suddenly had wings.

Oh I love the 70!s music I’m now 75 I love soft rock and acoustic folk song . I do enjoy all his song .I love music and dancing. I do go out just to have fun and home . I just love to have fun enjoy myself or with my friends. I drive myself so I can go home anytime 👍👍❤️

I wish the all people in this world would listen to the beautiful and insightful songs of Cat Stevens and others like him to realize that we have a lot more love that we can be creating in this world.

Such a simple, but sad and beautiful 🎵 song. Brings me back to my high school years. Time ⏲ ⏳ never waits ✋. ❤ Cat Stevens . Great song 🎵 still.

He is absolutely amazing 😍 and I love him and his music always☺️

I really liked and appreciated Cat Stevens in the '70s and as I listen now it feels like he was even better than I ever imagined. Watching these old videos brings back memories.

My dad used to put this song everytime we were on the road, amazing. Bring so much memories

Just came down from a mental and emotional melt down this is the second Cat Stevens song I've listen to to help me collect myself after calling an emergency therapist call. Thank you Yusef Cat Stevens.

I love going to older songs and hearing about everyone's stories with them. It makes me love music so much more knowing the schange it can have on people. Especially shout out to the parents out there who share this eith your kids.

Absolutely love this song, brings back memories that made me a better person today...very passionate singer!

I love Cat..always have..but the pic at 9 seconds..made me take ..paws..hehe... Damn he was good looking!!

Reminiscing.... One of my moms favorite artists/ favorite songs.... she was a beautiful smart woman, got sucked up into the 60's 70's thing... died too young but now having an appreciation for this artist who she loved.....speaks to my heart and soul! Love you and forgive you mom! Hopefully mine will one day too!

Such an amazing song writer Spent lots of hours as a kid in the 70's listening to so many of his songs on my sister's records

Great musician, great human, full of love for the world. Will always love his music.

Good trip down memory lane Cat., love all your songs, great lyrics, thank you for all the pleasure you have given us.

Prima oară am auzit această melodie în 1987 , mi-a plăcut foarte mult această voce plăcută al lui Cat Stevens, adică Yusuf.

I shared this with my love and it brought us so close together. To know we both love Cat Stevens you feel something in your heart that knows you are good people.

Beautiful man, beautiful poetry, beautiful sensibility

A most excellent artist❣️🎶💯⭐️

I had a cat Stevens tape that I listened on my walkman for my first plane ride. Such uplifting music. Especially Morning has broken. It was a really beautiful experience.

One of my favorite musicians. Just what I needed on a Friday morning. :-)

Stupenda canzone. Ricordi, nostalgia . Bravissimo e bello

Love Cat Stevens, his music is awesome. You can tell he's a really good human being.

Cat, hai fatto una canzone più bella dell'altra. Ai tempi impazzivamo ascoltandoti, oggi il cuore si gonfia di lacrime x l'emozione e la voglia di allora.

Wow one of my old time favorites loving it♡

My teenage years come crashing back when I hear this wonderful song. He was so gorgeous too. 💛

Current then ever. Thanks for this kind of unforgettable music dear Yusuf.

Boy were you right buddy! I loved this song when you first put it out. And yep Baby its a wild World... I listened. Obviously I am still listening. Teach me again... Your music was so real to me Cat. So genuine and sweet. Teaching with love even then. You didn't know what would come for you I didn't know what would come for me. But listening I am still trying with my smile.

I love how life takes us for a ride , enjoy it to the fullest and live it to the best of your ability ...

Love, love, love his songs!!! Fantastic!

Cat was pure thought,&emotion!. Master song writer at his finest! I use to sing this song for my daughter when she was a baby.

I saw Cat Stevens at the concert for the B'hais at the Waikiki Shell in the early 70s. Incredible experience!

Absolutely love Cat then he converted and life has never been the same. Come back from the dark side Cat.

Classics never grow old!

All these years later and still no one had a vibe like him💟

🥀Beautiful Song and video it's priceless to me my Mama dedicated this song to me. She truly loved Cat Stevens and I grew listening to him since the 70s 🥀☝️🥀🕊🥀

Cat was one of my favorite singer songwriter. His voice was so calming and smooth.

For those who were around when he first came on scene his music was so popular and like all things it became about religion. What's ridiculous is that people claim to know God but yet use God as a means to their ends...to persecute...to dishonor..to judge and finally to kill. If you knew one thing about this person he wasn't about anything but trying to find and serve his God...the God over us all. There are fans of this man who are grateful that he existed and left some of the best music.

Master song writer at his finest!

So much memories with friends and myself with this song.. Mr. Cat is always inspiration for all of us.. First I've heard this back in 2005.. Love forever...

Just missing sounds like this today...I just can"t understand why i don't hear them anymore. Music today doesn't sound like music...tanks for uploading Incognitoo Z.

Cat Stevens is one the greatest musicians. Live forever . 🦎😆

Amazing song! Listened to his record last night

Cat Stevens produced so many songs in the 1960's and I loved all of them. This is my favourite!

Thank you for the music and the pictures ! For me you will always be One of the best ! And I listen to the music about 45 years...
