    Lyrics:
    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 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
    Son:
    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
    Father:
    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
    Son:
    Away, away, away, I know
    I have to make this decision alone - no
    Son:
    All the times that I’ve 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 they know not me
    Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go - away
    I know, I have to go
    Backing:
    I have
    To go and make this decision alone - no

    I lost a Son, going on 6 years. Jimi was 39. Wonderful Human Being. His life was dedicated to the service of others. It's getting to be our seasons now, Fall, Winter. There's always a smell, crisp breeze, a song, your song that takes me back. I used to play it on guitar for him when he was young. Teared up, Brother. Thank you.

    This hit me hard. My mother passed from cancer in the winter of 2017. I was 25 years old. I live with my and Dad and we went through that loss together, and the pain is still tremendous. My Dad is getting old, in his mid 70s. I look a lot like him, the older I get, the more I see it. I'm so much like him. He's always wanted the best for me. He's moved mountains for me. Given me an amazing upbringing. Sometimes I get frustrated with him, just because I'm his son, we're from different generations and our perspectives clash and we don't always understand each other. I have plans to move out in the near future, to seek my own space. But every now and then I stop and look at him, take him in, and see how lonely he is. How much he's lost and my heart breaks. This animation was like looking objectively on us both. I'm a musician, I play drums and guitar a lot. It's my escapism, where I exorcise my demons, my frustrations. Purge my pain. So much about this video was so accurate. My Dad is the best man I have and will ever know, and I love him more than anything. I must remember to listen to him, understand him as a man, the amazing man he is, what he's been through, respect his wisdom. He won't be around forever and he means the world to me. To all who made this video to one of my all time favourite songs, I thank you sincerely for it.

      Thanks for sharing this. I'm probably closer to your dad's age than yours. I got divorced when my children were 9 and 7. We lived in different cities and now different countries. They are in their 20s now. There's not a day, nor probably an hour when I don't think of them and miss them. Yet, I know that when I was their age I couldn't wait to get away and I did. For many years I kept away and only had fleeting visits. I married and had a different life far away. One day my mother called. She asked me to return to see my dad. He died in my arms three weeks later. No, we never fully reconciled. There wasn't time in the end and he was increasingly out of it. So what can I say to you? I would say talk to him, your father. Tell him about the conflict you feel, but do not ask him to make the decision for you. Move out if you want to. You need space and I can understand that. But tell your dad that you'll see him often, and do this more frequently than you said. In between, call and speak to him. Ask for his advice and even help. Go away somewhere together (Covid permitting!). Share and create memories. Because when the time comes, as it will, you will know through your tears, that you let him go with love. Fare thee well!

    Now, because of that movie, I can't hear this song without getting flooded with memories of a loving father I probably could've listened to more.

    I was a teenager when I first heard this song and just like the "Son," felt restless, misunderstood, and rebellious towards an older generation whom I thought clueless. Many, many decades later, with so much passing of time, I see the world more so through the eyes of the "Father. " Hearing this song now makes me nostalgic for the brave, young, (albeit nieve,) free spirit I was. Yusuf's, Cat Steven's, music resonates deep within me and has the power to help me recognize that although one may become jaded by life's hard knocks, that amazing youthful spirit still lives within, just waiting to be embraced.

      My Dad was a 24/7 abusive drunk. Guns, knives, bats, etc... Once he used the hose off the back of a washing machine. Until you get whipped with a rubber hose you've never really been whipped. He straightened up at the end of his life. He was 56 when he died in 1988, I was 32. I knew he grew up rough too, add to that 51-52 in Korea. We didn't understand at the time the ills & woes of PTSD. Anyway, he atoned for his sins to me, apologized, rued. And yet it still bothers me today. Not so much anymore of what happened but what might have been. I feel you, friend.

      Seketika sedih dan pengen nangis pas denger lagu ini, teringat almarhum bapak. Hubunganku sama bapak tidak begitu baik sejak aku SMA. Panjang kalau diceritain, yang jelas aku belum sempat jadi anak yang berbakti untuk bapak, bahkan di saat terakhir...aku ga bisa melihat wajahnya, karena saat itu ku berada di luar kota....

    I can't help tearing up at this song - first when my dad and and I were butting heads in the mid-late 70's, then after we became best friends and started working together, then when I lost him in 1983 just six weeks after his diagnosis. Now I'm the dad and my oldest turns 30 in a couple of days - still as strong willed as when he was 15. Says something when a song, as old as this can still have the effect it does as told by the numerous comments below and still to come.

Cat Stevens /Yusuf has had a real impact on my life. When I was 12 we sang Morning Has Broken on Stars On Sunday a religious program in the past that was very popular. This life introduced me to the man who I came to love and admire ever since. I once sent a message to him to tell him I loved Father and Son and he replied to my excitement for a month after it .

    You know how I feel about this song! It can be said of a young woman as well. I was the obedient youngest child and daughter. I stayed with my parents, taking care of their needs long before my wants and needs. Mom died first, never telling my sister how much she loved her. I’ve given up trying to convince her that Mom truly loved her; but spare the rod and spoil the child was the way Mom and Dad were brought up and it carried over into my generation. I took care of my Dad, though I lived on my own. When he was dying from prostate cancer, my sister, brother-in-law and I were the ones who took the time to visit dad. My brothers couldn’t even go to shave him.
