Driving a long distance from Dover to Gatwick, one late November afternoon, in the dark,, after delivering a hire car to a customer, my mate was quiet, missing his family in far- off South Africa. I put on a Cat Stevens cassette, & he started singing. The rest of the journey, was a joy, with both of us, giving it some welly, on every track, without needing to see the lyrics!
People forget how uniquely talented and expressive he was in the midst of his time and era. Very few can match his vocal elegance, lyrical magic and technical prowness. His music moves me and inspires me to this day
I saw him in person concert in New Haven, Ct. Cat put on a show like I never saw before-the hold stage was like a camera-every song the color or design would change to suit the song
I was madly in love w/Cat Stevens back in the day. Watching this gorgeous man sing this gorgeous song and even, by God . . . The guitar is gorgeous. I'm transported backwards in time again to the bedroom with his posters on the wall, his face greeted my day and ended my nights. Big damn sigh. :)
What a nice story. He was like a rol model to me. I was so impress by his presence and music. I grew my beard and hair, I took a guitar, learned some of his songs and sang them in high school, there are still old classmates who remember me for that.
Oh yes i too had the posters, i so loved him, still do. Saw him a few years ago, his music just sung to my soul, sang just a well as he did back in the day. Such a beautiful soul this man has.
I was 19 years old when I heard this song. I was going through the most painful period of my life. ( I am on my husband’s account to clarify) I had just had my first child, was unmarried, and back in 1970-71, most young women were shamed into giving their child up for adoption. This song, though I know it was most likely written for a woman, became my personal song of grief. I have since worked through all of the pain and suffering of losing that child, but listening to it today, at 69 years old, still evokes loss, suffering, tears and brokenness. It was my healing song. 😢💔
I played this song at my brothers funeral. I played it if for me and all who loved him. Leave all the Politcs at home and just bring love......Love for all who we have lost
Following Cat Stevens since the beginning has been an incredible, rewarding experience. Being a witness to his pain of the political process was frustrating. First hearing about him leaving the musical arena was difficult. There has never been a time when his music was depleted by his interest in replacing war and hate with peace and love. How very fortunate for us to be able to revisit his music in this forum. Is it possible to forget our own prejudices and just appreciate this man?
I saw him live a couple of years ago thinking he wouldn't sound like he did when he was younger. I was wrong he sounded just as amazing as he always has. Was one of the most surreal nights of my life after growing up loving his beautiful music.
totally comprehend, I saw Sinead, maybe 5 yrs ago, and she totally made my night, from the Nothing , to all her albums she rocked me, well below too! just being honest here
He stepped aside from his singing career for 20 years, that may have saved his voice and be the reason why he sounds the same today as what we heard in the '70's
@@doctorfeinstone6524 They are bad but a better example would be Eric Rudolph. He was a Christian extremist that bombed the Olympics in Atlanta and abortion clinics. Killing one group to save another is never justified and still against the 6th Commandment.
Cat, there's never been anyone like you. Jim Croce is the only one singing from the heart that comes to mind. I've passed on my appreciation of you to my daughters. Peace, brother
This song seems almost mystical to me. I first listened to it (and the album it was on) the summer I turned 14. I just can't explain the mystical sense I get when I hear this song now, although the romantic meaning has faded over the years. And back then, it was just his voice I heard, no videos available (although there were a few pictures on the album). It's the pure mystical music that still gets to me.... wow.
That is what real music did to us unlike what we hear today with it's preconceived video images. We used our feelings to interpret the music personal to us individually.
I was born in 1970 and as a 3 yr old I would have my mom play Cat Stevens and I would spin and dance (esp to Moonshadow!) My dad had the 8 track in his car, and he looked nearly identical to Cat...I used to say, that's my daddy! I actually remember all of this....this music is still so soothing to me.
my grandmother showed me my first cat Stevens album when i was 4 and i too fell in love with him with all my soul! i am now 30 and i still love him it will never Chang :) i gave my little girl his cd box set and she loves him too! make sure you pass it on to your kids one day too! :)
This has recently become my new favorite Cat song. The more u hear him the more ykur mind is blown. Amazingly beautiful melody and words. Thank you Cat/ Yusef. No one can come close to you
One of my favorite most awesome Cat songs I grew up with. Romance, love, heartfelt. That was Cat Stevens. Always thankful for his contribution to music.
My story ... this takes me back to spring break 1972, leaving behind a long & cold winter at school in Connecticut. I met a beautiful girl from U. of No. Carolina named Patty on the beach in Miami. Walking on the beach DAY 1 with my guy friends from school we all saw her at the same time. She was with her friends. I moved quickly, and we hit it off completely. We listened to Cat all the while we were there on break. We slept only a little every night ;>) inside of a cool van that was parked on the lawn of the house where me and my buds planned to stay in Coral Gables. Oh man, I could not have dreamt something better. Perfect everything was she. Where's a time machine to take me back?
@@mayemcdonald9111 .... no, we only lasted about a year as she lived in north Jersey about 75 minutes from my parents home in Connecticut. And having fun in my Volkswagen Beetle when I would go down was a little cramped. But we indeed managed. 😎
This is the only man that I can listen to any album of his front to back and love every single song!! What great music the 60's and early 70's produced!!!
Met my soulmate in 1979. We were working around the world sailing the oceans. God, we loved one another! We got separated in 1985 - no phones. Reunited in 2007 - so strong so good - living across America from one another & talking …. But this song always helped me get through the pain. Listening over & over - so horrible to go through life loving the one I can’t get to. Heaven waits for us!
Beautiful song from YUSUFCatStevens, still making wonderful music after all these years. Great to hear about the musical "Moonshadow"starting on May31st in Melbourne, Australia. There would have been a great void in the musical world without this awesome singer/songwriter/poet/musician, for the past 46 years.
perfection, love Cat Stevens music. could care less he believes in Islam, and now is known by Yusuf Islam. he is a gentle soul who gave us so much music from so long ago. God bless you "Cat", bless you and yours. take care brother.
Robert Widmer not at all, it doesn't effect me, nor do i care. just sick of all the hatred out there. maybe you should spend some time and read all of the other videos of Mr. Yusuf Islam in youtubeland's comments. i have very little patience with idiots, i do hope "Robert your not one of the billion of said persons. but tip of the hat, take care all.
as a thirteen year old girl, im not usualy into this kind of music but my parents used to play him all the time when i was little and listening now for the first time in years, it makes me so happy :)
this music is rejuvenating- i never ever get sick of it no matter how many times i listen to it.listening to the song is like tapping into a sensitive part of me.
He is soooooooooooo different then anyone else, the voice is so beautiful and I don't even think there is a catagory to put it in, it is one of a kind and there will never been another...................so I can honestly say he is my favorite ever........
I LOVE this song so much - I have for 30 years. What I find most revealing about this video, though, is that is shows that Steve - not guitarist Alun Davies - is playing lead guitar. Alun is playing rhythm guitar! Even more amazing, particularly as I always found this a challenging song to play - and he's playing it perfectly, while he sings so expressively. He was truly a musical genius.
I live in the USA; I think Cat Stevens, aka Usaf Islam, produces music about peace and love. His songs have always spoken to my spirit! I am a Christian; I have never discounted his music. Peace and Blessings to all!
My younger brother turned me onto Cat Stevens so long ago. My brother passed very young 10 years ago and seeing this video brings back memories of him and my younger happy years.
This song takes me back to 1972-73. I had been playing guitar for a couple of years and played in the local church folk mass group. Cat Stevens was a big influence on everyone. There was a friend from school in the group who played many of his songs and even looked a bit like him. I learned so much from trying to play Cat's songs. I've been playing guitar for over 50 years now and finally I learned how to play this song. His guitar is tuned to an E chord, no wonder it was so hard to work out. LOL
A beautiful song of regret. I love his music and he and Jackson Browne have guided me my whole lfe. I went to his concert in '73 or 74 in Germany. Passed out from qualudes and slept thru the concert. One of the biggest regrets of my life. Life lesson...don't do drugs! For those wondering if this is a live or studio version, it's not the studio version....at 2:18 he sings `and live at night and dream' . The actual lyric is `and sleep at night and dream'. Even a genius can screw up.
Yusuf/Cat... How can I tell you I love you? I guess by saying I love you, your music and what you've added to my life and understanding of love. Thanks my brother. Rev. Tim Kendrick
A lifetime ago this song described an episode in my (then) young life with 100% accuracy. I managed to get myself very hung up on a girl to the point where practically every plan for my future included her. Alas, she concluded she otherwise. When I finally got it through my head there would be no Patricia (sigh) in my life I listened to this song frequently. It was like torture on one hand yet described my life so completely at the time. Happily I did recover and I met another. Ah, nostalgia
What a beautiful song and his way is so unusual that I haven't seen anyone like him since and I think I will never again. I think he's an angel he just doesn't know it. 🤗
This really reflects humanity's desire to get back to our roots, although when this came out, it tugged at my heart for no reason, it's just beautifully done👌
WHaERE did all Comac David's comments go, deleting mine, as well, most of them anyways, whaaaaa??? ....and the turnaround was a natural reaction I believe, because if NOT him, that would have been cruel, she panicked not knowing...
Only tears..can express the appreciation I have had for this wonderful music. Words just ...well, you know...'just don't know..' Therapy in a crazy world...holding on; still. Thanks ....4 decades !
thank god there is videos, so we can see this man perform, when i first heard him in the 70's, there was only lp's, 8 tracks, watching this delightful, devestatingly handsome man is a sheer joy! so yeah for video
Very thoughtful statement. I was 5 in 1970 and loved him. I'll never forget seeing the smile on my dad's face when he listened to him sing "Morning has broken." Dad would sing "Wild World to me." I'll be listening to Cat Stevens when I'm a very old woman.....love him...timeless.
The first concert I ever saw was this man at Massey Hall in Toronto in 1974. It was amazing. He sang this song and many other favorites. What a concert and what guitar playing! Always remembering the days when Cat's lovely tunes were on the radio in the car all the time.Happy New Year Youssaf!
I fell in love with Cat Steven's music in 70's.....it's 2011 and still love his music.....maybe even more now! He writes from the heart and touches the soul.

I bought my first Cat Stevens album nearly 50 years ago, have enjoyed his music ever since, but then there are so many songs to love.
You forgot one item, he wrote must if not all his music-I can't find Moonshadow
Qudos to Paul Samuel-Smith and his guitar playing in this era.
I saw him in person concert in New Haven, Ct. Cat put on a show like I never saw before-the hold stage was like a camera-every song the color or design would change to suit the song
Im with you...
I think this song is as beautiful as any song ever written .
Beautiful artist. I was 16 when I discovered him. He had just released Tea for the Tillerman. To this day I still listen to his music.
Same.
Have been listening to cat Stevens since 1970 I’m 63 now still listening to him
Cat Stevens is just out of this world I can't believe how talented he is I was listening to him my whole life he is an Earth Angel
The interplay between the two guitars is mesmerizing, and that voice...

My girlfriend of 64 years introduced me to cat stevens music in 1972. We are now in our sixty's and still love his music; it will never grow old to us
Underrated by far
Not only one of the most beautiful Cat Stevens songs, but the lyric is so true.......

such a beautiful song from all those years ago.i love it to pieces.
He is just so wonderful..that voice and that sweet..sweet.. heart
Timeless music touches the soul with a powerful yet simple message and remains for all time
It is so poignant because he never got the girl. Maybe unrequited love?
It's a love song about a woman in his memory. F'ing brilliant. Genius.
It's performances like this one that remind me again of why I love Cat Stevens so much! Thank you for uploading this wonderful video! :-) Sandy

I agree! I'll never tire of playing his wonderful music which I've been listening to for 40 years. He was and remains the best!!
Cat could sing Jingle Bells and I would be right there.
After listening to cat for 40 years saw him live in 2017 brilliant happy man
His hair looks so much more curlier! What a dream boat.....
Such a great song and sung exquisitely. These guys were soo very good. Glad I had the chance to grow up listening to this mans songs and message.
