I'm sure it's already been mentioned in the comments, but Cat Stevens is British. One of our finest songwriters! My personal favourite of his is 'Where Do The Children Play?' - It has a really powerful message, that means even more today than it did when it was written. You should definitely react to that one.🙂👍
You guys got it spot on. Imagine where you're walking through the night and the moon is so bright it casts a shadow behind you (it follows you). You, meanwhile, are walking in the light. As any adversity reveals itself, you're still in the light and the darkness is in the shadow behind you.
The name "Moonshadow" is inspired from a beautiful night lakeside while on holiday in Spain away from city streetlights when he saw his shadow in the light of a glowing moon 🌕 He called this song the "Optimist's anthem"🍸 Great reaction Enoma 🌃
From one of his finest albums "Teaser And The Fire Cat." One of Britain's greatest singer/songwriters. He became very popular here in the colonies...The United States. Great reaction as always. Peace!
He was the songwriter for this and other remarkable tunes...beautiful voice and guitar. Very original, his albums had an immediate impact where you would listen to every beautiful song. At this time, he was all about Peace. Savio is right about the positive outlook expressed in this song.
Moonshadow is litereal. LOL. A boy running and jumping at night under a huge full moon. Joyous! Adventurous! Later on in life, this doesn't really matter to adults as much. He imagines about his future....Who cares!! I won't need to cry! So yippy! I'm dancing with the moon!
For me, it invokes the splendid atmosphere under a moonlit night in the country. I suspect there is a religious element in it(although it would never apply in my case) -"Did it take long to find me? I ask the fateful light." He is spellbound by this cosmic setting and inspired never to be down-trodden by earthly miseries.
Moonshadow means no matter how dark things get, there will always be some light! Check out Cat Stevens "Father and Son" and "Foreigner Suite"! Every Cat Stevens album is great in their entirety from 1970 to 1974 and then, there are a lot of good tracks on his next three albums after that!
This is Cat/Yusuf's optimistic song from album Teaser and the Firecat One of the most popular British singers in the 70's until he converted to Islam Now he is known as Yusuf Islam He has been inducted into the Hall of Fame
What an incredible human being Peace Train and Morning Has Broken how much you favorite songs. I had a friend in college that looked exactly like him. You need to listen to more
I knew a guy named Moonshadow. He was a big African American man from Newark who would suppliment his income with an occasional mugging. The song back then was "I'm being followed by a large negro, Moonshadow, Moonshadow....
Cat Stevens converted to the Muslim religion in the late 70s early 80s and changed his name to Yusef Islam. You should listen to some of the music he has released in his later career
The definitive version of "Moon Shadow" was not by Cat Stevens, though he wrote it and did it first but by Labelle (the long version): ua-cam.com/video/aRyINBuZq0k/v-deo.html.

He’s a radical Muslim so yes he’s definitely British

"Where do the children play " is an amazing song by Cat Stevens that I think you would both love.

It means that even in deep darkness a person still casts a shadow,and exists.
Thank you 🙏🏽 Namaste
Amazing reaction. This was my high school prom dance back in 1978!
Can't go wrong with Cat Stevens. Beautiful lyrics and music.

He imagines about his future....Who cares!! I won't need to cry! So yippy! I'm dancing with the moon!
Which is why I''ve loved Cat Stevens since the early 70's...a good soul plus good music equals high vibe :) Peace!

Cat Stevens is British and he wrote this song. This song seems the ultimate in optimism.

The Cat Man, a personal favorite. Thank you for the reaction.
Moonshadow is a song about perseverance.
Morning has broken. Oh, very young. Studio versions, please.
"PEACE TRAIN" please!

Check out The Boy With The Moon And Star On His Head from his Catch Bull At Four album. Just beautiful.
Ah, Cat Stevens, its so nice.
What an incredible human being Peace Train and Morning Has Broken how much you favorite songs. I had a friend in college that looked exactly like him. You need to listen to more
This reminds me of an inspiring documentary on youtube called the butterfly and the tornado about a girl with a rare disease but still chases storms.

Well that's an interesting comment.
I think you would like Cat Steven's: Changes IV (changes four)
Try "Where do the children play". Another beautiful song of him.
I love you guys.
Listen to " Father and Son " very cool message
Cat Stevens converted to the Muslim religion in the late 70s early 80s and changed his name to Yusef Islam. You should listen to some of the music he has released in his later career
That's why I mentioned "Midday (Avoid City After Dark)" and other tracks from his "An Other Cup" CD.
.SORRY ,HE,GREEECK.
he's english
I thought it was about a total eclipse
changes IV will blow you away
Could you please react to trouble by cat stevens? One of his best in my opinion.
when he was young in spain he saw his shadow from then moonlight. The song is about needing his life functions mouth, teeth, legs.
