I would like to shed some light on the beautiful work of a creative artist, who over the very difficult things in his life, but continued looking for the truth and God
This Artist as I mentioned he has been throw much of heavy events across his life and perhaps the hardest is suffering from a critical disease when he was young but he survived and another hard time when he nearly drowned in the sea that the momentum turn him to deepen ponder God .. He said on the verge of drowning: God if you save me, I will work for you
One day, when he was behind the scenes getting ready to sing he said he had heard his calling! he left the party fleeing to his Lord and announced his retirement from singing “ quitting singing
Now he sing’s Islamic religious songs
I like to introduce to you the work of his most beautiful songs, its “Son& father” which had been greatly impressed by many people and so far as the song was song since ages
!Now will leave you with the lyrics, hopefully you love it
Two links will be added... one when he first sang it and second a recent recorded one
!People don’t mind to put your comments
Father and son
Cat Stevens
Yusuf Islam now
Father
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 its not easy
To be calm when you’ve found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you’ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
Son
how can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
Its always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
Father
Its not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
To watch the song
Back to 1976 as Cat stevens
