Moonshadow (Cover)
MAKIE chose to cover “Moonshadow” as a celebration of pure optimism—the kind that feels like dancing through life even when things don’t go as planned. Originally written by Cat Stevens (Yusuf / Cat Stevens), the song has long been beloved for its playful spirit and bright perspective, turning life’s uncertainties into something light, hopeful, and strangely freeing.
Recorded in Brooklyn, New York, MAKIE’s version adds an energetic, dance-party edge while staying rooted in her indie folk/Americana sensibilities. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to move—equal parts nostalgic and fresh, with a heartbeat that feels like joy.
“I’ve always loved how ‘Moonshadow’ refuses to be heavy,” MAKIE shares. “It’s one of those songs that reminds you to laugh, breathe, and keep going. I wanted my version to feel like a celebration—something you could dance to and feel lighter after hearing.”
