Ronan Keating, Yusuf - Father And Son 

Its 2024. Anyone?

I still listen to it in 2024...this clip was like a conversation between a father and a son... 😢. And i miss my father a lot... 😢😢😢😢

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.

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

It's now 2024, i'm 33 and father of two beautiful childs. Still crying every time i hear this song.

I’ve never really had a relationship with my dad, but this song makes me feel sad over something I never had

Lots of guys have difficulty telling their dads how much they mean to them. Don't leave it too late fellas.

Watching 2022 what a dou this will always be an official song the a father and a son

Why is music not made with these messages anymore?? The music industry has surely changed and become more about sex and drugs compares to music with beautiful deep meaning.

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.

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 ❤

Hi guys it’s 2021, take a minute or two and sit with me and enjoy this song as we think back through 2020. ❤️

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 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 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 ordered to listen Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away I know I have to go It's 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 All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside, It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it If they were right, I'd agree, but it's 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

As a father and a son, it’s hard not to be touched by this song. I miss you, dad. ❤️

Whoever still listen to this song 2020 is a legend

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..

Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) is a legend. This beautifully crafted song frothing with meaning and wisdom always gets me.

2024 and it still hits hard

Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam , one of the greatest songwriters of our time.

"Dad, can I have a hug please?" Ask before it's too late or just do it.

My dads been gone three years. Last week was his birthday, and for some reason it’s harder today than it was on the date. What I wouldn’t give to hear his voice. Cherish every moment lads, even the disagreements, he’s only looking out for you. Love you dad xxx

Im here in 2023, loved Yusuf's version and simply love Rohans too❤

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! ❤️❤️

watching 2023...missyou papa in heaven😢

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.

The great Yusuf Islam wrote it back in 1969... and it is still so true, so fresh. A marvellous piece of art.

Miss my dad so bad. Dont postpone your days with your parents, once you loose them you will regret a lot.

Thank you Ronan for bringing Yusuf (Cat Stevens) back to us, those who loved Cat Stevens great music.

10 Years ago i lost my father. Song always brings back memories. Beautiful lyrics, beautifully sung.

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...😢

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.

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 want this played at my funeral, my son's are my best friend's and always will be

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.

"He may be your father but he ain't your dad"

My father died 5 weeks ago 😢❤😢

My Dad's gone but I will always love him with my full heart.

When Mr Yusuf Islam start singing, it's like my father talking to me.. I miss him

Anyone listen to this song in 2022?

One of Cat's (Yusuf's) finest songs and I have never heard a finer cover of it. Ronan, so very well done. Thank you.

Listen to this, on 2021! This part, I can relate to so much: All the times that I've cried keeping all the things I knew insde. It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.

This always gets to me. Being a father and a son. We all know the value of our loved ones. Cherish everyday. ❤

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

first song i sang after learning how to play the guitar

Lost my father 3 years ago suddenly. He got only 63. That song touches my soul. ❤

Father and Son Original Songtext: Vater: Es ist nicht die Zeit, um etwas zu verändern! Entspann' einfach, nimm es leicht. Du bist noch jung, das ist Dein Fehler. Es gibt so viel, dass Du wissen solltest. Finde eine Frau, setz' Dich nieder - wenn Du möchtest, kannst Du heiraten; Schau' mich an, ich bin alt, aber glücklich. Ich war einst wie Du jetzt bist und ich weiß, dass es nicht leicht ist, ruhig zu bleiben, wenn Du herrausfindest, dass etwas los ist. Aber nimm Dir Deine Zeit, denk' viel nach, denke über alles nach, was Du hast! Für Dich wirst Du morgen noch hier sein, aber Deine Träume vielleicht nicht. Sohn: Wie kann ich es versuchen, zu erklären, wenn er sich dabei wieder abwendet? Es war immer dasselbe, die selbe, alte Geschichte. Vom Moment an, in dem ich hätte reden können, war ich gezwungen zuzuhören. Jetzt gibt es einen Weg und ich weiß, dass ich gehen muss! Ich weiß, dass ich gehen muss. Vater: Ich war einst wie Du jetzt bist und ich weiß, dass es nicht leicht ist, ruhig zu bleiben, wenn Du herrausfindest, dass etwas los ist. Aber nimm Dir Deine Zeit, denk' viel nach, denke über alles nach, was Du hast! Für Dich wirst Du morgen noch hier sein, aber Deine Träume vielleicht nicht. Sohn: Die ganze Zeit über war ich traurig, habe meine ganzen Gedanken für mich behalten. Es ist schwer, aber noch schwerer ist es, sie zu verdrängen. Wenn sie Recht hätten, würde ich ihnen ja zustimmen, aber sie wissen doch überhaupt nichts von mir. Ich sehe jetzt einen Weg für mich, und weiß, dass ich gehen muss. Ich weiß, ich muss gehen!

2024 still listen to this legendary song

This song reflects such utter truthful realities of life growing up, loved it then and still now

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.

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 😭😭😇😇

The Person Who farther died recently please accept my sincere condolences Dawn Whapshott

Beautiful! Every time i listen to this song i get emotional to the max.

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.

I LOVE MY FATHER AND FATHER IN THE WORLD... BARAKALLAH... FOR YUSUF ISLAM...

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

493 people don't know how to appreciate this beautiful song

Одна из лучших в мире песен, на тему Отец и Сын, и два из лучших певцов!!!!

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🤩

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.

who came from Guardians Of Galaxy 2???

2023 is who here?

Great song written by a great artist, Cat Stevens (Yusuf) and performed with the awesome voice of Ronan Keating, another great artist.

This... may be the best version of all! I love Cat Stevens but this builds on his work rather than simply stripping it for financial gain.

Listened to this song a thousand times easily but never seen the video before today

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.

That was nice to see Cat Stevens (Yusef Islam) back singing again.

I am finally a father, after 8years of waiting. Almost hopeless. But now, this song hits different.

Makes me cry every time even though I'm 11 and nowadays everyone is in to games and all it makes me so happy

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)

I hope we can all say later on I'm old but I'm happy!

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.

long time no heard this song, untill today it passed on the radio. recalls my youth and a great voice and song writer. this song (one of many) marked a generation. ok. this one is a great version, well sang and with the participation of the great (former known as) Cat Stevens. but the emotions felt with the original has no comparision with the best of replicas. anyway, well done, Ronan.

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

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.

I miss u dad... ❤❤❤❤

To my Angel's Harvey and Thomas It's a terrible world and England when father's are kept from their babies and suffer silently behind bars!

November 25, 2023 still listening??

Tearing up as I listen to those emotional lyrics. Beautiful rendition and thanks for sharing.

God Bless The🇺🇸United🇺🇸States🇺🇸Of🇺🇸America🇺🇸All The Democratic National Parties In🇺🇸The🇺🇸Whole🇺🇸50th🇺🇸States🇺🇸Of🇺🇸America🇺🇸.

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.

Amazing always touches my heart wish my father in law was still here he treated me like his daughter and raised a amazing son , miss you dad 😇xxxx

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

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.

2023 and still a poignant reminder that time is precious

I wonder how many can actually say, look at me, I am old but I'm happy

Yusuf Islam is Cat Stevens

I cried. That's it

Well, my dad went away gettin some Milk. Before 15 years... I am 16. But this Song makes me want to have a dad.

Anyone else remember this song from 'Singstar'?

So great to Yusef.. Cat... Back singing his song with Ronan

2022 am i still a Legend? I love this, i never had a father but i wish, and many dont, bur i feel more sorry for those who HAD but lost, that break my heart! ❤️‍🔥💯 So to them; ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥😍😍😍😍😍😍

My father died 25 years ago and is the same, he keeps into my heart forever and will be always inside me.

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.

As a muslim i am really proud that Cat Steven was the only muslim that got roll into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame...

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!
