Definitely adding this song to my tailgating playlist for the Great American Eclipse of 2024.

Sitting here in Medina, N.Y. waiting to see the eclipse and listening to Moon Shadow with my Grandbabies Talia and Vivi life goes on...

[chivonfortney]

This musician and his songs like this remind me of my momma who is sick right now. I'm going through a hard time. Please send positive vibes to my mom if u see this. 💔

Thumbs up if you ever listened to or sang this song during an eclipse.

[upthegills]

I'm partially disabled after serving in the Army for 22 years and sometimes when I am being a bit of a moaner I sing this to myself and realize - all is okay, enjoy the moment and I don't have to 'beg'. Let's try and be grateful for what we have and be as positive as this words in this song. All the very best to you all.

Wow I miss the music, when music was special and spiritual and artistic, you were one of the greats Cat ❤️

[alwaysblessed]

I was blessed to see Cat at the Forum on his Majik tour, 1976; I believe. I am now 70 years old and my memory fades, so I don’t quite remember the playlist. I do, however, remember what a great concert it was. Thank you Cat for all the great music. ❤️

My mom lost both of her legs and never once complained. "And if I ever loose my legs, I won't moan and I won't beg" I have that line tattooed on my forearm to remind me that you can handle anything life throws at you

[bweaver]

I miss the musicians who really could play their music with pure passion!

[paulbanas]

One of the absolute best singers of our generation!!

[goofe.washington]

1971 - Freshman in college, coming of age, first real love, first sense of social awareness…and this music. It runs deep.

[sugarmuffin]

I'll be playing this during the 94.5 % of totality that I'll be getting in Massachusetts during the solar eclipse❤😊

Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plow, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Oh if, I won't have to work no more
And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Oh if, I won't have to cry no more
Yes, I am bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan, and I won't beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs
Oh if, I won't have to walk no more
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Oh if, I won't have to talk
Did it take long to find me?
I asked the faithful light
Oh, did it take long to find me?
And are you gonna stay the night?
I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow

I sang this song to comfort myself while being held captive against my will.

[SiiriCressey]

As a hippie kid, this was one of my absolute favorite songs. It still is. There's something about the imagery of total freedom + dancing under the moon which appeals to my wild self.

[Ponchiegomezsaso]

Looking at the moon was never the same after I heard this beautiful song in 1971, somehow it seemed to glow brighter . 💖🌙

[hibaalqadasi]

God bless you Mr Stevens. You did the right thing by returning to perform. This is your da'waa...This is your calling. Peace.

[PeterDoornbos]

This song got me through such a dark period, I mean really dark like ending it all, but this song is like "No matter how dark it gets, it can always be worse but there's always light" and there are many songs like this, Thank you so much Cat / Yusuf (you actually kept me alive)

[MisBunnypics]

I sang this song at a school recital in grade school when I was about 10 I'm 60 now!
