Cat Stevens - Blackness Of The Night Lyrics

Such an awesome powerful song from his back catolog

Ahhh, this is beautiful.

Sometimes God wants us to be alone! 😘Thanks for your music it has deep resonance.

Classic Cat, deep, touching, thoughtful, elegantly composure.. though sweetened by the character only time can render. Very nice.

Love and peace ✌️ 🌈🍎🌄💌 God

😭💜

I don't know why it reminds me of "The dead dont die" by sturgill simpson

so great...

Hey cat when I was little my dad used to play your music in his old pickup truck. He passed away when I was 17 and I played father and son at his service. You helped me get thru some of the worst times in my life. I'm 31 years old now and I'd be proud to have my son listen to you.

Vert touching testimony to your father. May he rest in peace! He had a good taste!

sad but true

May you play forever old friend. You've always lifted me. There is no one I'd rather hear than you.

Une merveille !!! merci Yusuf !

It is way too much for any heart to bear the saddness of this song..

So true , so beautifully written!!! Thank you, ❤️

Mr. Yusuf, I grew up with your songs the past 40+ yrs, early from the beginning because my mother loved the later Cat Stevens albums; I later got albums of my own but I always preferred listening to them on the record. Why, Why, did I never consider your youtube presence?
Must be that Im too old school but consider me here right now!

I was born in the right generation, being around awful music all the time gives me an appreciation for all the good music that already happened

See when your are in bad mood and hear words typically describe your state as he was with youb.. Un believable..

Thank you 💕

I'm 25 years old and still love you Yusuf Islam

Lovely!

Thank you ...

Beautiful Yusuf amazing how you still sound so good after all these years, thanks mate

C'est ami en 1970 qui m'a fait écouter CAT stevens au collège technique c'était BOUDEN Ahmed que j'ai perdu de vue depuis les années 70 d'après des rumeurs il se trouve en France a Rouen Salut Ahmed tu m'as beaucoup manqué longue vie .ZITOUNI .( Bouhjira med pompe à essence ESSO à l'époque .)

Bravo ma première chanson c'était my lady d'abbanville j'avais 16 ans

Listen again. Still torch my heart thanks

Sempre bellissima e attuale , purtroppo!

Beautiful song

I hear a clarity in your soul. This is my favorite song of yours.

Ok, is is me or is the tempo slowed down compared to the 1967 record? I love the slowness and seasoned vocals on this version.... Perfection yet again Cat man ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Poor rocket doesn't get any candy

Thanks for loving torching song just how I feel too

Thanks islam for kill this music!

The earth is a she

magnifico , maravilloso

❤I can relate to this

beautiful song I wish you happy ramadan

Beautiful song from a Beautiful soul...May God bless you.

Everyday at night I switch off the lights and listen to it and I alone the last thing I close my eyes on....good night sweet heart 💕💕💕

This is my least favourite song of his..Maybe it's about child soldiers?I don't agree, it's not a bad, bad world.Certain areas yes maybe ,but not overall.

Yusuf, thank you for this; so much truth in so few lines - so up to date, at a time when you can rise hundreds of millions for an old church within hours, but there is too few money to prevent children from starvin' in Yemen =  bad bad world

Why is there you in this world??
To remind us that we exist!!?
As if we still exist!..

C'est le meilleur chanter pour moi belle voix bel homme pour toujours yusuf Islam cats stevens un homme de paix machaallah Allah le bénisse et challah Paris farida taberkane

يوسف اسلام ٠٠٠٠٠كم انت رائع

😂😂This guy after blowing his career he has decided to blow himself up?😂😂😂😂

💕💕

👏👏👍

Can't find the right words..

powerful

Wonderful song..

Yusuf I know this probably entirely inappropriate but listening to your melody I was inspired and wrote another 2 verses to your song...I can send them but you probably don't need the extra lyrics.......

Salam alaykoum. Do not hesitate to come and see and share our songs. Thanks.

And after the blackness will be the light of the dawn ISA

Thanks Akhi Yusuf.

Johann my adress is [email protected]

Yusif, you need a saviour; His name is Christ Jesus. How I wish I could talk to you personally. I have always since my youth like your music and shared al lot of feelings that reflected in your songs. I am now 68 and find them still speaking to me. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and saviour and has found piece. Shalom my friend.

Johann Meiring where did he said I’m god or worship me?

💕💕💕

It's a strange thing, but I never felt drawn to this particular song in the past. But since listening to it on Yusuf's latest album The Laughing Apple, I have grown to appreciate it and love it very much. It's a sad song but yet a very beautiful song. I truly love all Cat/Yusuf's music

I Love you... 😂

Was soll ich noch sagen....?

Lindo demais. 😍🙌♥️

I have loved his music since the early 70's. This is a wonderful arrangement of a great song. Please listen to the song " 1963 ". Thank you.https://youtu.be/lnN9O8zuzAw

Not JUST songs.....words with messages. Thanks Yusuf. ⛧

Beautiful and touching.
Love it. Thanks.

Sen harika bir detaysın 🌹

Yusuf, you are indeed a Global treasure, peace to you my brother! 💫

Ich hab die ganze Zeit gewartet dass am Ende noch eine positive Wendung des Songs kommt... Und dann geht der einfach so traurig zu Ende 😥... trotzdem ein sehr schöner Song maschaAllah 😍

I'm not shure if I have drawn the attention I want to but I have seen a rise in popularity of folk music I want to say we should step back and look and rewind and don't scratch the vinyl thank you and I'm no worth to a higher power

I've felt I was a moonchild and so connected to this wise man's music I can relate to all I know

made me cry... yeah it's a bad world we are in! I wish if all people would just think like the way you do Yusuf Islam that we might find more peace around

thank you yusuf! This and your other songs changed my life

Soy mexicano, No entiendo, Pero se que canta bonito este hombre. MIS RESPETOS.

❤🇰🇿

This beautiful music still makes me shiver inside. So poignant, truthful, simple and honest.

.."In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
With a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
In the blackness of the night
I see a shadow passing by
From the heels of an old soldier boy
There's no compromising and his eyes are black as the sky
For this bad, bad world he is going to die
He's alone and there is no one by his side
In the blackness of the night
I see the sparkle of a star
From the sweet silver tear of a child
And she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
When her parents were happy, she was too young to know
She's alone and there is no one by her side
In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly
With a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone, and there is no one by my side"..

The king of all music and faith kings ....we love you in Allah

😇😇♥️

Man, his voice has saved me so many times. I'd listen to his music every night. My senior quote in '01 was from father and son. His voice is home to me. Only way to describe it.

Nice hat

♥👐

Love it

What a goof I loved him back in the day but imagine picking a religion out of a box and deciding sharia Islam is the one that fits. That takes some kind of misogynistic loser.

God bless him for such a beautiful song and spirit.

You are great singer. your voice is magic

That voice! Unforgettable! Fantastic!

Thanks yusuf islam

i love this so much! ✨🌍✨🕊

Can’t get enough of this song

LOVE This SONG is Marvelous, too. 😊🌹

Asistí a un concierto de Cat Stevens en Madrid cuando yo tenía 14 años. Ahora tengo 58 y sigo escuchándolo. Mi vida es su música. Gracias Steve.

yusuf abi the sad guy is now rising up. es-selamin aleyküm.

This song is fantastic. But does it not sound exactly like "I hope that i dont fall in love with you" by Tom Waits? Am i crazy?

Great song.

This man has been in my life forever .

In my loneliness he has been there in music

Less than 200, 000 views compared to millions on other channels, such as all these new 'artists' is what's wrong with the world today ;)

Krazee Diamond
no worries Mo love everythin

God forbid the mainstream music industry promote anything deep and spiritual like this..

Yes.. I ve been thinking the same.. Only 200thousands viewed..

So glad that Yusuf started recording again. His new songs are just as touching as his material from the sixties and seventies.
