25 Respones to "Trouble - Cat Stevens - Harold & Maude"

funwelldone said...

Cat Stevens had all of our human weaknesses figured out within his lyrics long before it was cool to approach this type of content within pop song music structures. By singing the words that he did, they (the words), were a little more than just foreshadowing of the drama in all of our lives in the decades and years since then, but even today they are as cogent as they every were.

@zona999 Why don't you get your whinning backside out of here, nobody is interested in you snivelling anti-religious bigoted views. If you don't like his music, stop watching and let others enjoy, you anti muslim idiot

Catstevens the singer/songwriter is still a beautiful and sensitive man who made us think and feel!
Why? What happened? He found islam and islam found him! Says something about the religion. Pity it broke your heart.

Cat Stevens the singer/song writer was a beautiful and sensitive man who made us think and feel with his music. Yusuf Islam the muslim is something totally different, I can't understand what the hell happened. And it will always break my heart!

you dont hear emotion like this in new music. people can try to judge his spiritual beliefs but that is just an obtuse distraction to the true meaning of his expression that is in his music. so what if your religion is not the same they all have the same values until evil people corrupt them. you know that there are good and bad people everywhere. good music is a treasure and should be respected.

@AdamAlexRyan Oh, yes, wonderful peace song by a man who would later call for the death of nonbelievers. Ask Salman Rushdie how peaceful Cat Stevens is...

@ThevanGoghBlues its nice to hear someone listens to the words and feels them as they're intended instead of judging cat... if only we could all be so wise

I've always believed this is one of his most underrated songs. I can actually feel the pain in my chest and shoulders every time.........For over forty years....

Harold and Maude - incredible poignant song for that magnificent movie. Cat Stevens was really cute when he was young!

This has always been one of my favorite songs all time...its amazing that anyone can identify with it. If you replace the word trouble with any vice you have...drugs, debt, or even an ex love...you can relate. Amazing song, Amazing Artist!

This might not be a common view for many, but when I listen to this, I always take it as something of an alcoholic trying to quit, more so because of the line, "I've drunk your wine, and you have made your world mine..."

Anyone else have something similar?

Harold & Maude is a wonderful movie, but it definetely wouldn't be the same without Cat Stevens' magical songs

@goodfellas1001 Actually Yusuf is a man who can teach us a lot about life just find out what he is doing right now in his life not just music or songs, he is really an inspiration

@goodfellas1001 No, that's not strange...I can't listen to it with out tears streaming...We watched Harold and Maude in my Humanities college class, and when this song came on, it took all I had not to cry in front everybody...It's just one of those songs
