• Norman Wall from Tigard OregonRodney Crowell is an amazing singer songwriter. You should have many of his songs posted on Songfacts.
• Tim from Here, There, And EverywhereDear Kathy,
  
  I remember that cold night in December 1982 as we sat quietly in an old ‘72 AMC Matador, radio playing softly, while we waited for the car to warm up. With only a shoddy AM radio in the car, one of the only stations that worked was a country station (WHN in New York). Suddenly, the first few chords of this song I’d never heard before emanated from the dash speakers. And I was taken away. We looked into each others’ eyes and our hearts met. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life. Some things just aren’t meant to last, though, and as we ventured into college, we lost touch. I’ll never forget that night and always think of you when I hear this song. I recently found you on Facebook, happily married, beautiful family. And while I was tempted to reach out, I realized that some things are better off left unsaid. Knowing you’ll likely never see this makes it a bit easier to say, have a happy life, Kathy… I loved you then and still.

• Greg from Durham, NcGlenn Frey joins Seger on background harmony vocals on the song. The song spent four weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and topped the adult contemporary chart. The song also went to number 15 on the country chart in early 1983, marking Seger's only Top 40 entry on that chart. Tanya Tucker also covered the song, for her 1983 album Changes. Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that "his trademark acoustic guitar sets the tone, followed by an easygoing vocal and loping rhythm."
• Lisa from Eveleth, MnLOVE : )
• Dane from Green Cove Springs Fla., FlI've always loved this song.I love the words & music,the harmonies, & the laid back feel.
• Rick from Belfast, MeBob has done many gems.....but this one takes the cake!!!....awesomely done for #1
• Paul from Detroit, Miwho couldn't love this song?! Perfection.
• James from Detroit, MiI've often tried to advise my daughter about the perils of dealing with men and this song explains them perfectly. Men have to be strong and hard to face pain and heartache. We are not supposed to feel hurt or loss, but we do and sometimes that hurt can be profound. This song explains it better than any other.
• Ken from Edmonton, AbGlenn Frey plays piano and sings backing harmony.
• Don Watson from Indianapolis, InI know Bob has put out some great music, but "Shame On The Moon" has to be about my favorite, (along with his latest "Wait For Me" from The Promise). It's one of those songs that I have to just sing along with whenever I hear it, no matter where it is playing. It's flowing melody and harmonizing chorus, along with profound lyrics, make it one of his best.
• Duane from Wheatfield, InThis song is a little mystic in its feel.
• Marcial from Santiago, ChileIn its musical approach the song reminds me, in some way, of "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Kind of an atmosphere which takes you to a strange and very misterious landscape of unknown destiny. I love this song, it is plenty of a cosmic fate. Seger is great in his performance.
• Kory from New Hope, MnI htink this song and the entire "the distance" is by far the best bob seger album he recorded
• Jameson from Lexington, KyI believe Don Henley and Glenn Frye are singing backup here.
• Josh from Phoenix, Azthis is the best bob seger song
