Yusuf / Cat Stevens – On The Road To Find Out

The official video for 'On The Road To Find Out' by Yusuf / Cat Stevens.

Directed by Kimberly Stuckwisch and Melora Donoghue of Invisible Inc, the video for ‘On The Road To Find Out’ is an allegory for humanity’s journey of self-discovery and the historical events, art, and music that have influenced life and culture. The production of ‘On The Road To Find Out’ used all-natural light, no generators or electricity, and items from the boulder were donated for recycling to maintain an ecological ethos while filming. This video contains the newly recorded and reimagined track for 'On The Road To Find Out' from the Tea for the Tillerman² album release.

Lyrics:
Well, I left my happy home to see what I could find out
I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well, I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there
Many stories told me of the way to get there
Well on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There’s so much left to know and I’m on the road to find out

Well, in the end I’ll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin’s song saying not to worry
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There’s so much left to know, and I’m on the road to find out

Ooooh oooooh
Ooooh oooooh

And I found myself alone,
Hoping that someone would miss me
Thinking about my home,
And the last woman to kiss me
Sometimes you have to moan
When nothing seems to suit you
But nevertheless you know
You’re locked towards the future
So, on and on I go
The seconds tick the time out
There’s so much left to know
And I’m on the road to find out

Then I found my head one day when I wasn’t even trying ooooh oooooh
Here I have to say, ‘cause there is no use in lying ooooh oooooh
Well the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin, pick up, pick up a good book now
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin and pick up, pick up a good book now
Yes the answer lies within, why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin, pick up, pick up a good book now!

Ooooh oooooh
Ooooh oooooh

Blessed Yusuf - We just sent your original version to our son, out traveling alone for the first time in his 21 years.

[tersta]

I was hoping he'd finally lay down his worldly burden. Wonderful analogy. Thanks for the remake of Tea For the Tillerman. I love the animated characters in Where Do The Children Play. Blessings to you and your family.

[eyupnail]

Yusuf/Cat Stevens, never gets old, never gets off the road to find out for bettering himself and the humanity; spreading love and peace.

[silvanagili]

Un video molto significativo..e ..tremendo...della condizione umana!!bello!!!grazie yusuf....ora tradurro' il testo!!

[robbryan]

At the very moment I needed a "message" like this, it arrived. Thank you. Take the garbage collected in life, and leave it behind.

[harveygauley]

I just heard this song for the first time...wow what a great song.

[sergei_mikhailovich]

Yusuf/Cat Stevens is a living legend.
I'm so glad to live in the same era than him.

[joyceadrianne]

This man is such a reflection of what the real world is like.

[bishopsteiner]

reminds me of some of Johnny Cash's latter day work..only instead of covering other artists with a new twist, Yusuf is "covering" himself in a new, heavier/darker manner. Love it. Will it replace the original? Hard to say after having been such a fan of it for 25 years. But fortunately there is room for both!

[bluetopaz]

Blue Topaz
So cool is He that covers his own song 50 years later and it’s more relevant than ever.

[tiarainggaris]

"the freedom is within oneself. when the soul is free, there is nothing in this world that can bind us." very well said. i really needed this so much. thank you just thank you for always creating art that inspires.

[rachelee]

[donnabertrand]

A beautiful statement of life's true meaning. I continue on the road to find out.

[crystalstanley]

Ah, the road that leads to satori.
Amazing blend of imagery and music!

[christiroberts]

Yusuf, you are a gift to all who hear you sing and speak. From the beginning, I loved your unique vocal and writing skills. Blessings to you and your family!

[shoshanatomarbatmalka]

Yusuf, this is from one of my favorite albums of all time. I love your new rendition. I hope to see you in concert someday before we go on to the next life

[wbsherlock]

Blown away by this. Thank you, Yusuf

[nedgrant]

Absolutely true, Yusuf! Our “Kingdom”, our birthright, is “not of this Earth...”; That doesn’t mean it’s in the sky, it means it’s not physical: it’s in our hearts and minds. Quietness and lack of argument places us there, on demand, forever...

[TheAnniewinn]

I was JUST listening to “the Wind” when this was posted!!! Kismet!!! I adore every version you can make of this song!! You can’t hide genius!!! 🤗
