uncanny when I last gave a ride to my dad and drove him to the hospital cause he got sick this played in the radio while we're on our way 🥺 that's the last time I ever spent with him alive just after a few days he passed... he taught me how to drive ... 😞 I miss everytime that we're together on long trips, traffic, and eating out I miss every second of it, I really miss you dad I'm sorry I couldn't give back for everything that you've done for me ... I'm sorry and I love you ... 💔

I love him since I was 16 year old. I am now 64..and my feelings for him has never lost..

[jeffwilsonfhb]

Never been able to listen to this song without tears.

[Kevin-mxvi]

Such a profound song. Once the rebellious son I now have two sons of my own and I understand both roles that this song describes so well.

[mrkurt]

One of my favourite Cat Stevens' song.
I really love this duet of two great singers and musicians !

[maliadoss]

Cat Stevens' music is timeless. 🥰

[krisg]

Eddie can get those deep low notes and the emotive highs . Good to see great live jams again - life is short- we must celebrate each day - let music bring us together . Start that Peace Train again ! ❤

[reneeryan]

Their voices and the emotion they put into this song 🎵 is beautiful.

[thomasbernecky]

so good to see and hear Cat Stevens happy, well, and in good voice.

today we buried my father. at the funeral we played Moonshadow which was a song my father would always sing to me at bedtime as a child, but Father and Son is far and away my favourite song.

[thanhphojay]

Are you seriously telling me I just discovered this tonight!!? Wtf. So happy to hear this

[MLeibs]

Eddie’s voice and vibe go good with everyone. ❤

[hanamadness]

I got goosebumps watching my two fav musicians sharing their energy on the same stage. 🥺😭❤

[austinap]

I think it's amazing how many people/bands that Ed has sang with who were his idols when he was young.

I've watched other video of Yusuf singing Wild World with Chris Cornell (RIP). In both videos, the joy of Yusuf to share his music with those musicians. For me, two generations that marked me, Yusuf when I was a kid, my father used to play lots of songs of Yusuf, and then as teen Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Audioslave where part of those years. Amazing.

Two great voices. I've always loved this song and it's awesome to hear Eddie Vedder sing w/ Cat Stevens. Extra special.

[debramiller]

I was there when Cat Stevens first appeared. To see him again . Is an absolute blessing. Thank you Yusuf /Cat Stevens

[rickhenry]

I picture my Dad before he passed on, telling me in paraphrased words the lyrics of this beautiful song about how life works. it brings tears of happiness knowing he is in a better place. This is a very powerful and moving song.

[markmunger]

This beautiful rendition made me miss my Old Man. Eddie knocked his solo out of the park and Yusuf has stayed true to his art. Loved it.

[Johnny-dzvl]

Still got it after all these years pure classic voice and song ✌
