Isn’t that how life usually works … people drift in and out of your life from the past … reminiscing for a few fleeting moments in time … then those folks drift away again. Sometimes they return … sometimes … you keep the memories alive in your heart … your mind. One day you catch a song on the radio … much like Desert Moon. The cobwebs are swept away … and you are again with those folks from years past. For a few moments …. Time reverses and all those emotions come back.
Could not have said it better. Had some great friends back in the 80’s, a couple have passed, some I lost contact with, but 2 still remain great friends. Don’t catch up often but when we do it’s like time stood still. I always wonder what happened to those lost friends, hope they are doing well.
I am now 36, still imagining that I was born before all this kind of music. 90's is great but I think 70s and 80s are even greater music and everything.
To all who reminiscing their childhood/teenage days while watching and listening to this beautiful nostalgic song, I wish you all happiness and the best of life
My dad passed away on 12/18/2022, he loved this song. We had it playing along with the slide show of all his pictures. He had an old 63 white chevy similar to the video. That's why he like the song. Rip dad. Love you.
This song came out when I was a teen. Just a kid. Now I'm 51 and I can say this song and video, in an extremely simplistic way, summarizes life. You'll never forget that first love. Going home and visiting the old spots is sweet and sad at the same time. You realize everything that used to be is no longer. Good buddies are still good buddies though. That never changes. The same jokes and stories will always be told and shared decade after decade as long as there's time to get together and talk.
Yes your right, I am already 51 but for me it seems like it's only yesterday, I always remember old friends sharing dreams together, this kind of songs made us realized that time passed by and we can never turn back it's only the memories
Oh so true chris. Those were the days of my first love as well. And as an old guy now, I agree with you ever so much. After your first love, you don't ever quite love a woman like that again. Oh to be back in those wonderful carefree days of the 80's.
No faxcebook, people spoke, met and fell in love....by you know talking. I always feel that Dennis's solo work is like Bread with better lyrics. The prog infu is still there as well.
This is the only song I was able to learn to play on my Casio keyboard. The 80's was the greatest decade of my lifetime as I am now in my 60's and no other decade came close to the great times I had back then.
Sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have great memories of her from a great song * great group! May God give you strength & encourage you in your daily life ! I have witnessed so many amazing things from Reading the Bible & from things that only God could of done ! God bless!
Well said. Always takes me back to the 80s while in my teens. No cell phones. Had to call a girl on the phone to communicate with her. Dont get me wrong. Im now with a wife and kids and wouldnt change it for the world. But, what I wouldnt give to go back to the late 1980s one more time.
I miss my little brother he passed away last year. He said that when I went in to the navy. He would play my old Lp in my old room and think about me. I sure miss him and I think about him all the time.
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
I heard this song in Home Depot yesterday. I literally froze and just listened to this memory of my youth. My mind flashed back to my first girlfriend and how she and I would just drive around aimlessly for hours without a single care in the world. What I wouldn’t give to be young again riding around with her in my 1983 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 convertible once again. I miss her. I miss that car. I miss my youth!!!!
It's the down side of loving music as much as we do 👍❤️ We associate so much of our lives to the songs throughout the years of lives But for all the tea in China I wouldn't change this personality trait , and I guess neither would you Love from Ireland 👍
Ditto. This song holds a lot of meaning for me, bringing back memories of carefree times-high school days, surrounded by my friends. Definitely appreciate your comment. 😊
This song brings me back to a time when life was simpler. My heart aches for those times. When there was no twitter or Facebook or Zoom. The music was the soundtrack of our lives. It told a story. How I miss those days. If only we could go back...today seems so divided, harsh and empty...
I honestly think anyone who was a teen or young adult in the 80s would go back in a heartbeat and stay there --- we've seen nothing in this world since 2000 but bitterness and anger and people not wanting to hang out with each other anymore --- those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s remember the good times portrayed in this video --- when all you needed was some good friends and some backyard BBQ and football to put a smile on your face --- nobody gave a shit about looking at a stupid little screen filled with hateful messages!
This song brings me back during my college days. Courting girls, carefree life, great music, hanging out with friends. Life was so simple. All those days are gone…. All I have are just wonderful memories. The way life used to be…
I never would have admitted it as a 15 year old in 84, but I loved this song and video. When he gave that cherry ‘65 to his brother, even back then, the tears came. It’s crazy. I was 15, never had a girlfriend or been in love, but this song me made long for a time I had yet to experience. In the four decades since, love has come and gone many times. And every time, I find myself revisiting this song. THAT, friends, is the hallmark of good writing, a little cheesy for some, but some of those lyrics simply rip at the pieces of my heart. Thanks Dennis…
Oh the beautiful great 80’s - those were the best years of my life which I never would have imagined to be the case . I can relate to your story my friend .
Was it a girly song or something? I don't quite get why u wouldn't admit u liked it... surely we all grow up and we don't give a fuck what kind of songs we liked or not... what matters is what they meant to us, what they have meant to us through the years and decades... I was 10, so too young then to realize the true meaning and depth of the lyrics - it's a different story for me nowadays.
@@jaraza323 All those you named could not hold a candle to the music of the 60s..70s..80s...those people you named are not singers..but just show people..sorry.
I totally agree with you. To me, the great decades of music were the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. The quality of music went significantly downhill in the early 90s and got even worse in the 2000s.
This music video was filmed in Santa Paula, CA in Ventura County. The Train Depot is still there and looks pretty much like it did when this video was filmed 36 years ago.
Since you mentioned it, had to googled it.. having seen it, now i'm having more connection to the song & the music video.. good stuff.. thanks for the info..
The 80s without a shadow of doubt the greatest ever decade musically wise especially up to mid 80s. The music, ,bands ,solo artists, ,the images, the contrast in music,the originality we will not see its like again. Anyone who grew up in this era know exactly what I'm talking about. Even TV Miami Vice etc Movies, Breakfast Club ,Ferris Bueller,Sixteen Candles, etc .Hard to put into words what a special time it was but those of us who were there know exactly how special it was.The furtherwe go awayfromthe 80s the more we realisee how lucky and privilegedwe were to have been there. We will not see its like again. .Thank goodness for UA-cam for giving us the opportunity to revisit those times that make us happy and sad at the same time yearning for a truly fabulous era.
My mom loved this song, today she passed away because of the current situation, I can’t believe she is gone and I can’t accept it yet I know she won’t come back to hug me or my brother or my father, I hope this video remains more years so each nine of June I come back here and remember her more than ever
So sorry about your Mom. You can be sure that she will be watching you now. She will be saying: Do good in the world! Don't remember me now. Just do good in the world. Make a difference.
My college roommate and I watched the world premiere of this video on MTV in 1984. After the opening scene, Jim turned to me and said: "I had no idea where they were going with that." After this video, anytime we'd say "where are you going" the answer was always: I don't know, maybe Chicago. Great song, great video, great memories.
@@jogjanesewalks8217 The music video for the song, directed by Jack Cole, was filmed at the train depot, and other historic buildings in, and around Santa Paula, California.
@@davidwright4495 Oh so true! Some would say “Oh you were the same growing up in the 80’s” but no, such a different time.. would take the 80’s over today anytime..
I agree! I'm only 14 but I dont listen to the crap people listen to these days, I wish I was around back in the 70s and 80s which were indeed, the best of times
I heard this song back in 1993 while having surgery. I enjoy the song reminds me of the Dad, some time ago . I'm listening 🎧❤to this song with the kids while taking them home 🏠 from school. God Almighty bless you'll stay strong and safe. Read your Bible
I am proud to say I lived the 80s and watched this video as I just arrived to study college in USA. Unforgettable 80s and music that made us who we’re. I feel sorry for any generation that didn’t live the 80s music.
Me too, …I was in college when I first watched this video I wasn’t able to grasp the meaning behind the scenes and the lyrics….and years later when all the things changed and I watched it again and burst into tears and cry every time watching it ever since….
An amazing 1984 masterpiece written and performed by the legendary Dennis DeYoung (founding member from Styx). Dennis made all of the difference in the band Styx. Without him, or John Panazzo, the band isn’t Styx. Desert Moon was Dennis’ first solo effort, and what an effort it was! The original record is more desirable as time goes by.... What an accomplishment for him.... Ladies and Gentlemen.... Enjoy this amazing music video! 😊👍🏻
I love Tommy but he joined the band after they started . He changed Styx for the better. Dennis waned to go in a different direction and James and Tommy wanted to keep rockin. James drove Dennis away not Tommy.
There I was standing in the 80's. The prime of my life, and not even knowing it. I just thought it was going to go on forever. It just went by too fast.
@@JoelCat22 Same here, my friend! We were very lucky! I only wish my hair would have made it this far with me. haha. Oh, well, there are worse things in life. I hope all is well with you and your loved ones.
This song reminds me of my wife.she left me and our daughter over my worst enemie.i raised our baby on my own.i truly loved my wife.i miss her every day.our daughter is know 41.shes never seen or met her mother. 😢
“I still can hear the whispers of a summer nights” is the lyric. But, yeah, I get it. It’s a great lyric. When someone tells me to go to my happy place, I close my eyes and think about driving around aimlessly in my white 1983 Audi Quattro with my first girlfriend, blaring songs like this on my Blaupunkt stereo with Alpine speakers. “Those were the best days of my life”, to quote Bryan Adams.
My little brother said that he would listen to the song in my old room on my old stereo when I went to the Navy and thing about me. Well he is gone now, I miss my little brother. I think about him all the time. He was everyones favorite.
The 80's were the best. Everybody gets all nostalgic about their own favorite era, but think about it. Technology was pretty decent without being intrusive and overbearing. A person could still make mistakes in life and overcome them without being hounded by those mistakes for a lifetime, or being publicly crucified within seconds for making them. It wasn't perfect, but with all of the thought policing that goes on nowadays (say what you like, but it is 1000x times worse and more Orwellian than it was back then), relentlessness of technology, toxic cynicism, etc....I'd go back today if I could, in a heartbeat. A person could work hard, study, build a life and get ahead, improve their lot in life. Health care was pretty decent. Again, not going to get drawn into ridiculous and pointless debates about details that I think (yep, I'm less than perfect) are comparatively petty, or the obvious imperfections of the universe versus our own unrealistic expectations, etc. Smart phones and the internet are great, sure, but a person could still make his/her way in the world just fine back then....and live, and love. Paper maps, phone books, a little effort and dive into the mysteries of the open road (to mix a few metaphors lol). Sure, I'm happy now...but it is increasingly the case that I'm happy in spite of "things," not because of them. The world was indeed a better place back then. Rant and flame away....either you get what I'm saying, or you don't. I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. Peace, y'all...and '85 forever!
I lost my little brother last year. When I went to the military he said that he played my Lp on my stereo in my old room, and would think of me I sure miss him.
When you think back to where you were when you first heard this song, you knew life would never be as good. Never let go of people, places and things that made you who you are, wherever your Desert Moon may be.
I know this reply is so trite. But oh so true. You don't know what you have until it's gone. I had just lost my first love the year before. This song runs deep into my soul and memory. The funny thing is even back then I knew the times were special, so unique, so precious. Yet I lived them as though they'd be here forever. Ah! The naiveties of youth. Yet I'm so privileged to have been in my prime at that time. And experienced the best of times.
I live in Downey, California, about one and a half to two hours south from Santa Paula, California, depending on traffic. I went to Santa Paula on Saturday, September 14, 2024, to see if the historic train depot and the Mill building were still there, and they were! The Mill is an Agricultural Museum, and the train depot is the Commerce Office and Art Museum. It was an honor to be there where this video and song were filmed and recorded.
It is a wonderful song, isn't it? I first heard this when I was coming out of a very dark time of my life. This song made me realize that life had possibilities beyond the crap I had known.
Totally agree. This is my favorite video of all time. It’s beautifully put together, hits exactly the right spot. Dennis DeYoung once said the video may be better than the song. Maybe so. Regardless, that last verse, man … whew. 😢
At this time, Dennis wasn't just being a " reluctant " solo artist, but he actually had screen tested for a several movies but had to turn them down for one reason or another. You can see he's a natural, besides being an insanely talent musician. Great tune and brings back so many memories of the 80's.
2024 here.. if a person could only go back just for 1 day,how great would that be?wow would love it just for a moment.the song and words have so much meaning now that i am old!!!was a great time in my life!!!!
This is my favorite song of all time. I even drive the same convertible Mustang as in the video, I remember my first love when we met in 1984. I use to hold her tightly in the convertible gazing at the stars. My heart aches as I lost her. They say first love never runs dry
Summer of 1984...........I will remember this summer and this song until I leave this world. Love you Dennis, please keep doing videos, you are a hero of my youth, I now feel so old, when I see you do things online it makes me feel a little less old and a little more still relevant. Styx rocked, you still rock. I was 13 when this album was released. Dennis, most of your fans are younger than you. I am close to your age, we will not remain relevant forever, but I treasure all you work, both solo and the ones with Styx.
What man has not fell in love with a woman of his dreams (high school sweetheart, the girl next door, or from the block i.e.) and for whatever reason or circumstances, he has to leave and losses her. This song brings beautiful and sad memories of my youth days. God bless Styx and Dennis De Young.
Jesse Garduno Very well said Jesse. I can't believe when I hear songs like this it takes me back 30+ years, just like yesterday. I'm fortunate enough to have a great lady in my life today, but totally can relate to the one that got away...
I get it. I wouldn’t change my kids for the world. I have a pretty good life now. However I also still dream of my first love still love him and I always will. Certain songs just rip at my heart. Memories will last forever. Times I cry or laugh but I will go to my grave living him. And what if always comes to my mind
I miss those days. It hurts so much. I miss my mom. The summer air. My friends the freedom. The sound of cicadas on a hot summer day with nothing to do. Peace y’all. Glad I was around in the 80s.
One of those lost treasures from the 80s. More specifically one, if not the greatest year for music... 1984. This song is so poignantly, achingly special. Makes my eyes fill up every time. Thanks Dennis for this song. I will cherish it always.
I've been trying to remember/find this song for years, upon years, and two days ago I went into my King Soopers grocery store and what was playing on their music station...I stood there almost in tears hearing it, and seeing the video here just floods my mind with memories, from 35 yrs ago...seems like yesterday.. and even more poignant now...
You must be in Colorado. I was there earlier this month and a year and a half ago. Here in California. we have Super King grocery stores and Total Wine. There, it was Total Beverage and King Sooper!
I heard this song the other day driving around my old hometown and I pulled into the lot of my old middle school and just closed my eyes and listened and thought of all the times I had at that school back in the 80s... What a life we had as children growing up in that decade...all the memories that ran through my mind as this song played...I remembered all the times we played ball on that field...all the school dances...all the trouble we got into...and I remembered kissing you Tanya for the first time...my first kiss at age 11...we thought we were so in love...It was all so innocent and we were kids and we didn't have a care in the world...I am sorry kids these days will not have any of that...we were so lucky
The 80's were the ONLY decade that had music of all genres playing on the radio, each with their very own dedicated radio stations - pop, rock, metal, country, oldies, rap, dance, adult, love songs, classical, etc etc etc and I'm glad I was lucky enough to lived through that fabulous era!
I know what you mean! I hated high school as well, but age 17 in 1984 was when my life finally got good, after a dreadful childhood. So this song will always have special meaning for me.
I know exactly how you feel. I was only 12 when this song came out. I still love this song as much then as I do now. Thank you Dennis Deyoung for this beautiful song ❤️❤️
Is this the train to Desert Moon Was all she said But I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before I turned to look into her eyes But she moved away She was standing in the rain Trying hard to speak my name They say first love never runs dry The waiter poured our memories into tiny cup We stumbled over words we longed to hear We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up When a whistle cut the night And shook silence from our lives As the last train rolled towards to the dune Those summer nights when we were young We bragged of things We'd never done We were dreamers Only dreamers And in our haste To grow too soon We left our innocence On Desert Moon We were dreamers Only dreamers On Desert Moon On Desert Moon On Desert Moon Desert Moon [Instrumental Interlude] I still can hear the whisper of the summer night It echoes in the corners of my heart The night we stood and waited for the desert train All the words we meant to say All the chances swept away Still remain on the road to the dune Those summer nights When we were young We bragged of things We'd never done We were dreamers Only dreamers Moments pass And time moves on But dreams remain For just as long As there's dreamers All the dreamers On Desert Moon On Desert Moon On Desert Moon Desert Moon Read more: Dennis DeYoung - Desert Moon Lyrics | MetroLyrics
Another 80's memory sparked by the magic of our music from that era. "When we were young .. We were dreamers" Love you Annette S ... You were so unattainable and yet so highly favored. Here's to our teenage years my love ✨
Great memories with this song.... Summer 1984, newlywed and moved away from "home" starting a new life. Awakened EVERY morning at 4:45 to this song playing on WAV104 FM, Myrtle Beach SC....
I remember back in Dec 1984 when my grandfather peacefully passed away and listening to this song. It became so sentimental to me whenever I hear this play and it brings back so many good memories during my younger years. Rest in Peace Lolo (Grand Dad).
Thank you for sharing that. For me, it was Foreigner's "I want to know what love is" that was playing on the FM stereo in my room after we got the phone call that Granddad had passed away (Feb. 1985).

This hits do hard
This reminds me of my childhood. Through life’s up and downs I enjoyed it all. God bless all my friends..thank you for being part of my life! ❤️
The 80's...... How beautiful it was...... Anyone agree??
I totally agree. Feeling so nostalgic.
Absolutely....so amazingly nostalgic ☺☺☺😊😊😊😂😂😂
Memories....
Agree
Absolutely the best era ever...❤️
Still haunts me until this day... people no longer make songs as good and beautiful as this.
still lessening oct 2023
Exactly 💯
ain't that the truth?!
This is one of my favorite Dennis DeYoung songs. It beats even most of his best stuff from Styx...
you said the word, haunt.
Isn’t it a damn shame that we don’t realize we’re living the best days of our lives until they’ve long since passed us by?
U got that miss my friends
Amen, brutha
That is true
Got that right.
Exactly right- wish time would have stood still in the 80s. Such a great time to be a teenager
I am now 36, still imagining that I was born before all this kind of music. 90's is great but I think 70s and 80s are even greater music and everything.
So true.
They were. I remember my sister taking me for my 13th birthday to see Van Halen just before DLR left. The music was great
It was an awesome time to be a teenager....miss those days
I grew up in 70’s and 80’s no doubt about it better music and a happier world over all
Да это точно
❤maravillosos años bella y adorada , adolescencia .
Makes me homesick for a time that's gone forever.
I loved the 80s. I wish I had appreciated it more
I feel the same way. It makes me a bit emotional.
The power of 80s songs still hits today. That's what you call the real music
To all who reminiscing their childhood/teenage days while watching and listening to this beautiful nostalgic song, I wish you all happiness and the best of life
Thanks! Right back at ya!
You too...
Thanks brother, I am missing my youth of the late 70's and early 80's.
I remember watching this on MTV and I loved this video... Its was one of my fav. Songs too.... Young brother super cute I thought back then..
I Love you for saying that.
My dad passed away on 12/18/2022, he loved this song. We had it playing along with the slide show of all his pictures. He had an old 63 white chevy similar to the video. That's why he like the song. Rip dad. Love you.
Sorry for your loss
You too my dear❤
I sorry is beautifull
My Dad also loved this song. I remember he bought the cassette when it came out. He died 12/15/22. I hope he and your Dad are listening in Heaven
am sorry to hear that😢
My father used to love this song, and now i'm love this song. Screw music these days with nonsense lyrics
I absolutely agree with you
Turn to dangerous wokism
This song came out when I was a teen. Just a kid. Now I'm 51 and I can say this song and video, in an extremely simplistic way, summarizes life. You'll never forget that first love. Going home and visiting the old spots is sweet and sad at the same time. You realize everything that used to be is no longer. Good buddies are still good buddies though. That never changes. The same jokes and stories will always be told and shared decade after decade as long as there's time to get together and talk.
Don't forget the thrill & anticipation of saying "kiss me" to your old friends.
I totally agree with you Chris
Yes your right, I am already 51 but for me it seems like it's only yesterday, I always remember old friends sharing dreams together, this kind of songs made us realized that time passed by and we can never turn back it's only the memories
Oh so true chris. Those were the days of my first love as well. And as an old guy now, I agree with you ever so much. After your first love, you don't ever quite love a woman like that again. Oh to be back in those wonderful carefree days of the 80's.
Friendship that days are great but today I miss that old days only in our memory only
* God, I miss the 1980s. No cell phones, no GPS, no Mandatory Seat belt laws... That was some Freedom which we'll never have again, my friends.
Certainly agree with you clint.
my god, i miss the 80 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love 80...........forever
I miss the 80's too. It was great time to be young.
Wonderful time, I was 15
No faxcebook, people spoke, met and fell in love....by you know talking. I always feel that Dennis's solo work is like Bread with better lyrics. The prog infu is still there as well.
I love how a song can transport you back to a place and time in your life.
The beginning of my fresman year of high school!!
Very Well Said
That's the truth!
Yes indeed, and this song DEFINITELY does that
This is the only song I was able to learn to play on my Casio keyboard. The 80's was the greatest decade of my lifetime as I am now in my 60's and no other decade came close to the great times I had back then.
3:50 - 4:15
I swear to God, if I close my eyes I can smell, hear and feel the evening summer air of 1984 when the world was almost perfect at age 13.
I was born in April 1971. I can relate!
jesus...what a memories!!!
I was in 11th grade when this came out.Much simpler times.we went out on Friday and saturday nights with no cell phones to interrupt.I miss it!!!
Gordon Gibbons I agree, can almost touch it
Gordon Gibbons - it was College for me....
My sister Sally passed away last June, she loved Dennis DeYoung. How many STYX gigs we went to. I miss her 😭💔.
She had excellent taste in music, Rip
Sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have great memories of her from a great song * great group!
May God give you strength & encourage you in your daily life !
I have witnessed so many amazing things from Reading the Bible & from things that only God could of done !
God bless!
😢😭💔
So very sorry
I'm crying man
I can't avoid tears when I listen to this, it reminds me of moments with friends and family that are not here anymore 😢
Well said. Always takes me back to the 80s while in my teens. No cell phones. Had to call a girl on the phone to communicate with her. Dont get me wrong. Im now with a wife and kids and wouldnt change it for the world. But, what I wouldnt give to go back to the late 1980s one more time.
😭😭 naalala ko tuloy tito ko at lola ko 😢😢
Me too 😢😢❤❤❤
Yeah this was long before *Nickelback* - _Photographs_ and *Bon Jovi* - _You Can't Go Home._
The original tearjerker.
I miss my little brother he passed away last year. He said that when I went in to the navy. He would play my old Lp in my old room and think about me. I sure miss him and I think about him all the time.
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives.

I live this song got it n my crown Vic love cruise in to it
Ditto. This song holds a lot of meaning for me, bringing back memories of carefree times-high school days, surrounded by my friends. Definitely appreciate your comment. 😊
This song brings me back to a time when life was simpler. My heart aches for those times. When there was no twitter or Facebook or Zoom. The music was the soundtrack of our lives. It told a story. How I miss those days. If only we could go back...today seems so divided, harsh and empty...
Our 70s and 80s music was the biggest difference. The 80s news media was fairly civil, not vindictive and vitriolic.
You are so right! Very well stated.
There's no going back. If there was, we would all be back there.
I remember listening to this song in 1984, i was 19 year old soldier stationed at Ft. Sill. I miss those days, to be young again.
I honestly think anyone who was a teen or young adult in the 80s would go back in a heartbeat and stay there --- we've seen nothing in this world since 2000 but bitterness and anger and people not wanting to hang out with each other anymore --- those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s remember the good times portrayed in this video --- when all you needed was some good friends and some backyard BBQ and football to put a smile on your face --- nobody gave a shit about looking at a stupid little screen filled with hateful messages!
This song brings me back during my college days. Courting girls, carefree life, great music, hanging out with friends. Life was so simple. All those days are gone…. All I have are just wonderful memories. The way life used to be…
I never would have admitted it as a 15 year old in 84, but I loved this song and video. When he gave that cherry ‘65 to his brother, even back then, the tears came. It’s crazy. I was 15, never had a girlfriend or been in love, but this song me made long for a time I had yet to experience. In the four decades since, love has come and gone many times. And every time, I find myself revisiting this song. THAT, friends, is the hallmark of good writing, a little cheesy for some, but some of those lyrics simply rip at the pieces of my heart. Thanks Dennis…
Thank you for sharing!!!!! You are right....good song writing tells a story, as this song does!!
👍👍👊
Your comment is exactly why I enjoy reading them. These songs, this era will always have a special place in my heart
Oh the beautiful great 80’s - those were the best years of my life which I never would have imagined to be the case . I can relate to your story my friend .
Was it a girly song or something? I don't quite get why u wouldn't admit u liked it... surely we all grow up and we don't give a fuck what kind of songs we liked or not... what matters is what they meant to us, what they have meant to us through the years and decades... I was 10, so too young then to realize the true meaning and depth of the lyrics - it's a different story for me nowadays.
36 years to be exact. Who still love the song?

John Basmayor...one of my all time faves!
I do.
The 80's was the last great decade of music. Music went downhill after that and has not recovered. Great song and video.
How can you say that?? We have lady gaga, nikki minaj, miley cyrus and lil wayne
@@jaraza323 All those you named could not hold a candle to the music of the 60s..70s..80s...those people you named are not singers..but just show people..sorry.
@@musicray65 i was just joking.. Music today SUCKS!! 70s n 80s music Rocks!!
I mostly agree with your statement.
To me music began to take a turn for the worse during the mid nineties.
I totally agree with you. To me, the great decades of music were the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. The quality of music went significantly downhill in the early 90s and got even worse in the 2000s.
Anyone who wasn’t around in the 80s truly missed out on such a magical time.
a wise man once said "enjoy these times, it's a time of your life that'll never come again"
"when it's gone it's gone for good.
We sure were lucky to have grown up in the 80's
@@michaezell4607 , yes we were.
Ain't that the truth. Long live the 80's
It will never be gone as long as we have our memories.
80's had the best music of all time, im 51 an there is jus no comparison ❤
Hey Betty
I’m 48 and I feel the same way
Hello Betty.. how are things going with you?
'69, Baby! Me too.
80s is the best betty .need time machine to back lol
Totally agree with you
This music video was filmed in Santa Paula, CA in Ventura County. The Train Depot is still there and looks pretty much like it did when this video was filmed 36 years ago.
I have always wondered where it was filmed at. Thank you!
Since you mentioned it, had to googled it.. having seen it, now i'm having more connection to the song & the music video.. good stuff.. thanks for the info..
Would you please tell me if it was a scene of movie ? Ive known about song Amanda, but havent found info about this song.
Felicidades a todos los que estamos aquí y a los que ya se fueron y que vivimos la mejor época de la música 80s y 90s
No doubt that 80's are the most Unforgettable memories of Music Industry 🙌
Unforgettable
Amen..
No doubt indeed
The 80s without a shadow of doubt the greatest ever decade musically wise especially up to mid 80s. The music, ,bands ,solo artists, ,the images, the contrast in music,the originality we will not see its like again. Anyone who grew up in this era know exactly what I'm talking about. Even TV Miami Vice etc Movies, Breakfast Club ,Ferris Bueller,Sixteen Candles, etc .Hard to put into words what a special time it was but those of us who were there know exactly how special it was.The furtherwe go awayfromthe 80s the more we realisee how lucky and privilegedwe were to have been there. We will not see its like again. .Thank goodness for UA-cam for giving us the opportunity to revisit those times that make us happy and sad at the same time yearning for a truly fabulous era.
The 70s were magic.
When I awoke this morning, "Desert Moon" was playing in my head. Is it possible my first love is still in my heart 40 years later?
They say first love never runs dry...
Mine is. You never forget your first love.

So sorry about your Mom. You can be sure that she will be watching you now. She will be saying: Do good in the world! Don't remember me now. Just do good in the world. Make a difference.

Nice post!!!
She will always be with you every time you look in the mirror
My college roommate and I watched the world premiere of this video on MTV in 1984.
After the opening scene, Jim turned to me and said: "I had no idea where they were going with that."
After this video, anytime we'd say "where are you going" the answer was always: I don't know, maybe Chicago.
Great song, great video, great memories.
You watched this in mtv ? Is it a scene of a movie, soundtrack, or something ?

The music video for the song,
directed by Jack Cole,
was filmed at the train depot, and other historic buildings in, and around Santa Paula, California.

The simpler times of the 80s have forever been lost. Thank God we still have the music to remind us of happier times.
That statement has never been more true that right now.
Desert Moon came out in 1984. In 2024 this Dennis DeYoung tune is still appreciated. This song has nearly 30 million YT views.

I was born in 2000 but why do I feel nostalgic? There's this feeling of joy and sadness that I can't explain.
Welcome to 80s Music, that’s what it does, you can put your self in the song with memories good or bad. Happy or sad

I agree Dennis' voice was Fabulous
Great performer
I am proud to say I lived the 80s and watched this video as I just arrived to study college in USA. Unforgettable 80s and music that made us who we’re. I feel sorry for any generation that didn’t live the 80s music.
So do I. They missed out on a helluva party!
Don't feel sorry for them..Every generation has thier own music and Desert Moon..Ours just happened to be this...
А мне жаль тех кто не жили с музикой 70......

This was mine and my ex husbands song. 1984. What a year. I miss those days.😢
This song tears out your heart, throws it on the floor, and stomps on it. So incredibly moving.
..."those summer nights, when we were young, we bragged of things we'd never done"...
Cool lyrics.
I swear I miss the passion of music from the 80's. This song surely takes me back.
Looks like he had some global warming issues back then. Did you see the themometer at the arm wrestling?
The house fences, the cars, the bonding moments, the lake, their jeans, their hairs, the train station, the projector, the music, everything...80s. ❤
U can see in the video cars with metal bumpers.....hahaha
I so wish I had a time machine back to the 80's ..I just Love Denis Deyoung

Go see him in concert. Your ears will think you went back in time.
no matter how many times I watched this. this song never disappoints, it still makes me cry
Me too, …I was in college when I first watched this video I wasn’t able to grasp the meaning behind the scenes and the lyrics….and years later when all the things changed and I watched it again and burst into tears and cry every time watching it ever since….
OK well, Phyllis Adams. With all this about. Looks like a bunch of dudes playing football and driving cars
An amazing 1984 masterpiece written and performed by the legendary Dennis DeYoung (founding member from Styx). Dennis made all of the difference in the band Styx. Without him, or John Panazzo, the band isn’t Styx. Desert Moon was Dennis’ first solo effort, and what an effort it was! The original record is more desirable as time goes by.... What an accomplishment for him.... Ladies and Gentlemen.... Enjoy this amazing music video! 😊👍🏻
In my opinion, it’s Tommy Shaw who makes Styx.
@@masonlovesroblox It always has been Tommy Shaw :)
I love Tommy but he joined the band after they started . He changed Styx for the better. Dennis waned to go in a different direction and James and Tommy wanted to keep rockin. James drove Dennis away not Tommy.
@@susanbezio1529 - Tommy still had joined the band about two to three years after their first album was recorded.
We are just a boat on the river...
I hadn't heard this song since the 80s....spoke to me just now...god im crying...i was a kid then...im 46 now..

55 for me too. Crying

I so miss the 80's! Best time of my life!
yup...best time I vaguely remember...lol
same here,reminds me lots of good things during my teen days
i miss the 80's....my first kiss...my first date....high school
I hear ya. I spent most of em in Vancouver. Spent many a night drunk in Mugs and Jugs Pub and Chicago's Tonight club. Never went anywhere else.
You and me both.
I was 25 when this came out and i was on my way to the Army. It was a glorious time.
There I was standing in the 80's. The prime of my life, and not even knowing it. I just thought it was going to go on forever. It just went by too fast.
Boy, that is so true! Well said, Joel. At least we were lucky enough to live through the 80s.

I loved this song back in 1984, when I was 15 years old...but today I understand it in a way I never could have back then.
This is one of the most requested songs while enjoying root beer and pizza in Shakeys with friens just arrived fr K S A. Beautiful sweet memories.
This song reminds me of my wife.she left me and our daughter over my worst enemie.i raised our baby on my own.i truly loved my wife.i miss her every day.our daughter is know 41.shes never seen or met her mother. 😢
My favourite part of the song is, I still can hear the echoes of the summer nights, it echoes in the corners of my heart. 👍
“I still can hear the whispers of a summer nights” is the lyric. But, yeah, I get it. It’s a great lyric. When someone tells me to go to my happy place, I close my eyes and think about driving around aimlessly in my white 1983 Audi Quattro with my first girlfriend, blaring songs like this on my Blaupunkt stereo with Alpine speakers. “Those were the best days of my life”, to quote Bryan Adams.
My little brother said that he would listen to the song in my old room on my old stereo when I went to the Navy and thing about me. Well he is gone now, I miss my little brother. I think about him all the time. He was everyones favorite.
'Those summer nights when we were young ' - and the music they made was so beautiful and meaningful. How I miss them .
Yes.. the summer nights under full moon
i had the greatest time of most of my life in the 80"s... my 20"s the best
The 80's were the best. Everybody gets all nostalgic about their own favorite era, but think about it. Technology was pretty decent without being intrusive and overbearing. A person could still make mistakes in life and overcome them without being hounded by those mistakes for a lifetime, or being publicly crucified within seconds for making them. It wasn't perfect, but with all of the thought policing that goes on nowadays (say what you like, but it is 1000x times worse and more Orwellian than it was back then), relentlessness of technology, toxic cynicism, etc....I'd go back today if I could, in a heartbeat. A person could work hard, study, build a life and get ahead, improve their lot in life. Health care was pretty decent. Again, not going to get drawn into ridiculous and pointless debates about details that I think (yep, I'm less than perfect) are comparatively petty, or the obvious imperfections of the universe versus our own unrealistic expectations, etc. Smart phones and the internet are great, sure, but a person could still make his/her way in the world just fine back then....and live, and love. Paper maps, phone books, a little effort and dive into the mysteries of the open road (to mix a few metaphors lol). Sure, I'm happy now...but it is increasingly the case that I'm happy in spite of "things," not because of them. The world was indeed a better place back then. Rant and flame away....either you get what I'm saying, or you don't. I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. Peace, y'all...and '85 forever!
Thanks to all those great 70s bands like Styx, who trucked on through the 80s! Without them it would have been pretty desolate.
1980's: Music stores, yes!
But, there was no youtube!
Well said.
VERY WELL SAID
I love everything about this comment
if you find yourself being nostalgic in 2024 about a song from 1984 being nostalgic about 1970 you may be into nostalgia
hahahaha...right.
Here w're from Cuba
hahahahahaah, you´re right
Fantastic. Thats a good one
Nothing wrong with that. The music of 2024 is awful.
One of the most underrated songs from the era of amazing music. I can listen to this over and over.
I lost my little brother last year. When I went to the military he said that he played my Lp on my stereo in my old room, and would think of me
I sure miss him.
I dream about the 80's. Man I miss those days.
When you think back to where you were when you first heard this song, you knew life would never be as good. Never let go of people, places and things that made you who you are, wherever your Desert Moon may be.
That's great advice, also great hindsight, I wish I'd never let go of some of those people and places 30 plus Yrs ago but you just don't know
I know this reply is so trite. But oh so true. You don't know what you have until it's gone. I had just lost my first love the year before. This song runs deep into my soul and memory. The funny thing is even back then I knew the times were special, so unique, so precious. Yet I lived them as though they'd be here forever. Ah! The naiveties of youth. Yet I'm so privileged to have been in my prime at that time. And experienced the best of times.
Nailed it
So right
Very well said!!
I live in Downey, California, about one and a half to two hours south from Santa Paula, California, depending on traffic. I went to Santa Paula on Saturday, September 14, 2024, to see if the historic train depot and the Mill building were still there, and they were! The Mill is an Agricultural Museum, and the train depot is the Commerce Office and Art Museum. It was an honor to be there where this video and song were filmed and recorded.
I was only about 12 when this was on MTV and I've never forgotten it, song means a lot to those of us who remember it. Brings tears to my eyes.
It is a wonderful song, isn't it? I first heard this when I was coming out of a very dark time of my life. This song made me realize that life had possibilities beyond the crap I had known.
Totally agree. This is my favorite video of all time. It’s beautifully put together, hits exactly the right spot. Dennis DeYoung once said the video may be better than the song. Maybe so. Regardless, that last verse, man … whew. 😢
I was 12 years old in 1984, this song to me was and always has been pure magic. I love it as much now as I did back then. Such a beautiful song 🎶 ❤️❤️
Amazing singer nice memories back home still listening to his song... How are you Suzanne ?
Same.
Funny that you're the only one of that time that cares. So sad. Most people forgot.
tengo la misma edad y estoy de acuerdo con todo lo que dijiste
I 15 YEARS OLD
Probably one of the best videos ever. It's cinematic, tells a story, good stuff.
Probably? Try definetly
At this time, Dennis wasn't just being a " reluctant " solo artist, but he actually had screen tested for a several movies but had to turn them down for one reason or another. You can see he's a natural, besides being an insanely talent musician. Great tune and brings back so many memories of the 80's.
I've always loved this video for the very same reasons, newtonduck1!!!
Still pinches my heart when I hear this song. Dont know why...
agreed. straightforward, very good
2024 here.. if a person could only go back just for 1 day,how great would that be?wow would love it just for a moment.the song and words have so much meaning now that i am old!!!was a great time in my life!!!!
Who's with me? Its 2020 and still listening while scrolling
I’m with you
Here with you
I'm with you and will never b tired of listening to this great music, 80s until I die
I’m with you.
I'm with you. i listen this song every day in memory of my 16.
His voice is so beautiful!!
Hello Terri.. how are things going with you?
NO GOOD MUSIC LIKE THIS ANY MORE GOD I miss the 80s...
This is my favorite song of all time. I even drive the same convertible Mustang as in the video, I remember my first love when we met in 1984. I use to hold her tightly in the convertible gazing at the stars. My heart aches as I lost her. They say first love never runs dry
Summer of 1984...........I will remember this summer and this song until I leave this world. Love you Dennis, please keep doing videos, you are a hero of my youth, I now feel so old, when I see you do things online it makes me feel a little less old and a little more still relevant. Styx rocked, you still rock. I was 13 when this album was released. Dennis, most of your fans are younger than you. I am close to your age, we will not remain relevant forever, but I treasure all you work, both solo and the ones with Styx.
You and me both. Sad nobody else cares.
What man has not fell in love with a woman of his dreams (high school sweetheart, the girl next door, or from the block i.e.) and for whatever reason or circumstances, he has to leave and losses her. This song brings beautiful and sad memories of my youth days. God bless Styx and Dennis De Young.
Jesse Garduno Very well said Jesse. I can't believe when I hear songs like this it takes me back 30+ years, just like yesterday. I'm fortunate enough to have a great lady in my life today, but totally can relate to the one that got away...
I get it. I wouldn’t change my kids for the world. I have a pretty good life now. However I also still dream of my first love still love him and I always will. Certain songs just rip at my heart. Memories will last forever. Times I cry or laugh but I will go to my grave living him. And what if always comes to my mind
I miss those days. It hurts so much. I miss my mom. The summer air. My friends the freedom. The sound of cicadas on a hot summer day with nothing to do. Peace y’all. Glad I was around in the 80s.
FEEL THE SAME HERE
THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS A MASTERPIECE ! SONG AND VIDEO !
One of those lost treasures from the 80s. More specifically one, if not the greatest year for music... 1984. This song is so poignantly, achingly special. Makes my eyes fill up every time. Thanks Dennis for this song. I will cherish it always.
I've been trying to remember/find this song for years, upon years, and two days ago I went into my King Soopers grocery store and what was playing on their music station...I stood there almost in tears hearing it, and seeing the video here just floods my mind with memories, from 35 yrs ago...seems like yesterday.. and even more poignant now...
Long after we have left this world this will still be out there playing
But not yet not yet.
Well said
You must be in Colorado. I was there earlier this month and a year and a half ago. Here in California. we have Super King grocery stores and Total Wine. There, it was Total Beverage and King Sooper!
Sitting out on the porch, thinking of all the crap going on today, so thankful I have the memories of these days! Cheers!👍🍻
Sometime tears are all we got. Stay well
If I could turn back time, I'd relive the best decade of my life, 1980s.
Hello Helen.. how are things going with you?
I'd give almost anything
This video was shot in my hometown of Santa Paula, crazy to see this place back in the day
My hometown is Ventura, and I spent much time in Santa Paula as a kid. Such fond memories of simpler times spent in such beautiful places.

Simply said….Masterpiece!
My goodness bring back the simplicity and fun of the 80’s!
I hate to break it to you, but the 80's were NOT simple, and all fun..
Look at the history books
I heard this song the other day driving around my old hometown and I pulled into the lot of my old middle school and just closed my eyes and listened and thought of all the times I had at that school back in the 80s...
What a life we had as children growing up in that decade...all the memories that ran through my mind as this song played...I remembered all the times we played ball on that field...all the school dances...all the trouble we got into...and I remembered kissing you Tanya for the first time...my first kiss at age 11...we thought we were so in love...It was all so innocent and we were kids and we didn't have a care in the world...I am sorry kids these days will not have any of that...we were so lucky
The 80's were the ONLY decade that had music of all genres playing on the radio, each with their very own dedicated radio stations - pop, rock, metal, country, oldies, rap, dance, adult, love songs, classical, etc etc etc and I'm glad I was lucky enough to lived through that fabulous era!
How i wish i could go back to this era.hope someday there'll be a time machine...
Timeless masterpiece! Desert Moon, even better today than it was in '84. Special thanks for all of the memories.
This has to be the most nostalgia-inducing song ever. It makes me long to be back in high school - and I HATED high school!
I know what you mean! I hated high school as well, but age 17 in 1984 was when my life finally got good, after a dreadful childhood. So this song will always have special meaning for me.
@@davelee8961 Glad to hear it. Mine came about a bit later than yours - but it did come.
I know exactly how you feel. I was only 12 when this song came out. I still love this song as much then as I do now. Thank you Dennis Deyoung for this beautiful song ❤️❤️

The 80's, a wonderful time in my life.
it´s painful to remember an old true love listening this beautiful song that makes me cry
The deep sadness on his face during the slide show 😔
Makes me think of my ex
When you can sit back and relive through memories....because the music reminds you so clearly.....man the 80s music sure is like no other.
Hello Kristi.. how are things going with you?
Amen to that
Is this the train to Desert Moon
Was all she said
But I knew I'd heard
that stranger's voice before
I turned to look into her eyes
But she moved away
She was standing in the rain
Trying hard to speak my name
They say first love never runs dry
The waiter poured our memories into tiny cup
We stumbled over words we longed to hear
We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up
When a whistle cut the night
And shook silence from our lives
As the last train rolled towards to the dune
Those summer nights when we were young
We bragged of things
We'd never done
We were dreamers
Only dreamers
And in our haste
To grow too soon
We left our innocence
On Desert Moon
We were dreamers
Only dreamers
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
Desert Moon
[Instrumental Interlude]
I still can hear the whisper of the summer night
It echoes in the corners of my heart
The night we stood and waited for the desert train
All the words we meant to say
All the chances swept away
Still remain on the road to the dune
Those summer nights
When we were young
We bragged of things
We'd never done
We were dreamers
Only dreamers
Moments pass
And time moves on
But dreams remain
For just as long
As there's dreamers
All the dreamers
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
Desert Moon

"When we were young .. We were dreamers"
Love you Annette S ... You were so unattainable and yet so highly favored. Here's to our teenage years my love ✨
Great memories with this song.... Summer 1984, newlywed and moved away from "home" starting a new life. Awakened EVERY morning at 4:45 to this song playing on WAV104 FM, Myrtle Beach SC....
Dennis DeYoung, one of the best songwriters and singers of all time. The video and song are a classic! May God bless him.
I remember back in Dec 1984 when my grandfather peacefully passed away and listening to this song. It became so sentimental to me whenever I hear this play and it brings back so many good memories during my younger years. Rest in Peace Lolo (Grand Dad).
Thank you for sharing that. For me, it was Foreigner's "I want to know what love is" that was playing on the FM stereo in my room after we got the phone call that Granddad had passed away (Feb. 1985).
Bless you, and God bless your Lolo. Peace
Still classic and timeless after all these years❣️😎🤘🏼🩷💫
80's were my childhood years, wonderful experiences having beautiful and timeless songs...
What an amazing voice, Mr. DeYoung, thank you very much for this incredible song! ⚘
