The days when me and my dad use to go up north to the cabin alone with the windows down breeze in our hair having Moonshadow playing going 80MPH ... Can't get better than that!
@Solitaire401 think of it every time i can see shadows from the moon light..... there was an eclipse where i live a few days ago..... woke up at 4 in the morning to see it...... but yea.
I was so sad the day I heard he had converted to Islam, and decided not to record music any more back in 1977. It was like we lost another great musician. I know he is recording again, but it was a long time without his beautiful music.
This song, I swear, is MAGICAL! It brings back soooo many memories, I almost forgot about it. When I heard it again, all the memorieds came back....This is now my favorite song of all time again.....haha!
Without Moonshadow, Cat Steven's would have just been any other 70's artist. But when he stepped in the studio and recorded this, he stepped into legend. Any producers/staff in the room had to have known it when he finished.
@ElSijo1 i think they mostly meant the fact that he gave up playing and singing mostly. i dont think it had much to do with terrorism. but i could be wrong.
@ElSijo1 I wasn't implying he had become a terrorist, only that he was a one of a kind musician, and I was sorry to see him give that up. Though he has returned to creating albums and doing live shows, so I have no complaint
@DannyBhoy123456 I'm not even 1 and I have been listening to this song, and the ones before this and the ones before the ones before this, since I was a sperm in my father's testicles. Seriously, I'm sick of this "Hi world, I'm 13 and I listen to Vivaldi, Chopin, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, Modern Talking, etc. because i think they are a million times cooler than Bieber" charade. Just listen to the song quietly for God's sake.
Y Gerardo Manuel tenía su hermoso programa, para merecerlo tenía que cumplir con todos mis deberes. Creo que se llamaba DISCOCLUB... Oh, Cat Stevens, no hay una canción tuya que no me guste.
Hmmmm... I remember listening to this when I was only 3 and I'm 12. Ya, young fan, but I was raised on this kind of music! Boo new music! Woot Cat Stevens!
Simply awesome songwriter ummmm no I'm wrong 'the best songwriter'....and hey tobewoolf thanx u've done me the best favour in the world and yes I mean every word of it..
Yes, it's hypocritical, that Cat agreed with Iran's offering $1 million to kill Mr. Rushdie, , , , but it's ON FILM , , , , so there is no denying Cat said it. It's sad, actually.
Any1 who judges muslims for the small group of extremists that terrorize the world should open their eyes for once. Most muslims arent even arab. Most arabs arent terrorists. Stop being ignorant, America.
Stop lumping all Muslims in with the extremists,they are plenty good Muslims,people are talking through their ass coming out with silly statement like the guy below,what an ass hole.
The music of this man has moved many a heart and soul regardless of country of origin, label of Faith, or cultural tendencies. The life-enhancing artist's work is UNIVERSAL.
Yusuf supported the order to KILL Rushdie. It's hypocritical, because Cat wrote "Peace Train". And only an idiot would deny Cat said it, because it was ON FILM.
Also, Cat has performed at fundraisers for Al Qaida.
