I am so happy you guys did this!!!!! It is absolutely gorgeous, I knew you two would love it! The girl in the videos he goes seeking after is actually Dennis’s wife of 53 years!!!
This is one of my very favorite songs, now I am not a big Styx fan but he hit this one out of the park. Does make me cry😢
I did not know he was from Styx, I thought Airsupply. Thanks for info
This video is SO ‘80’s. I love it.
Yesss!!! Dennis is awesome and this is my favorite song by him!
Haven't heard this song in decades but I remember the lyrics, "Those summer nights when we were young/We bragged of things we'd never done/We were dreamers/Only dreamers," like when it was released almost 40 years ago.
One of the most perfectly done videos for a song.... It doesn't just capture the tone of the song, it expands on it.
I haven’t watched this video or heard this song in years!! I enjoyed this so much!! Thanks guys!! 👏🏻🎼♥️🌷
This is a beautiful song. I just love his voice and really loved this video, which came out in late 1984. Another great 80's song like this is "I Wanna Go Back" by Eddie Money from early 1987.
I Wanna go back by Eddie Money Definitely good one too
I always loved this song, was still in my teens when it came out so I can reminisce now if I couldn't relate then.
Love his voice.
Beautiful, touching song. The movie Dune wanted songs for their soundtrack and they thought that the guy who wrote Mr. Roboto would make a good science fiction song for them and Dennis gave them the touching ballad Dessert Moon. That is why he talks about the Dune in the song. The song was rejected for the soundtrack because it wasn't exactly what they were looking for and Dennis released it as a solo project after Styx went into hiatus. It actually reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 though for a mere week before it kind of free falled. The video really is good. It seemed like all Dennis wanted to do at that time - make a movie! Glad you reacted to it. I still love that video!
Thank you for that. I never knew it.
YES!!!!!! YOU GUYS DID IT.....I'm sure I'm not the only one that requested you guys do react to this song..you guys will enjoy it
You're not, I requested this one once too, it makes me so happy and sets the week right when they do this.
Ditto!!!
You took the words right out of my mouth!!!
I have requestedthis song a bunch too.... Thank you guys
Black Wall is another one that is great
Oh I love this song brings back so many high school memories.
Just found your channel yesterday I have been binge watching your videos you guys are awesome❤
Call Me is another great DeYoung solo...... probably my favorite of his
Dennis DeYoung has a Classic & Instantly-Identifiable Voice! Love all His Hits! This one is Very Nice... Great Reaction, You Guys! Have a Great Week Ahead with Family! :)
A great song from Dennis DeYoung and his solo effort in 1984. This video was on huge rotation on MTV, and tells a great story. These are the type of songs Deyoung wanted to do, and caused the breakup of Styx unfortunately. Still, its a great song and I loved your reaction!
And Styx made a big mistake not letting Dennis do songs like this every once in a while, the group was never the same without him.
Another song from decades ago that I haven't heard in a long time. It's one of the things I like most about your channel is when you dig up a song I had forgotten all about.
"Call Me" is another good song by Dennis DeYoung.
Absolutely!!
As is "Don't Wait for Heroes."
This is what MTV used to be. This was one of my favorites back then.
The emotions and nostalgia I feel when I hear this song and watch the video is hard to express.
Thanks, guys, for doing another request, some of us here in the comments appreciate you doing this after your numerous Styx reactions. I hear this one still being played on the radio from time to time while I'm traveling to/from work. This is a good one. As you might've guessed, here's my suggestion for Styx: Crystal Ball.
Beautiful song.
And his singing with Styx was just as great.
Great choice you two.
Kudos!
This song reminds me of my Brother and makes me emotional every time I hear it. Dennis did a live show many years after the original release and he nails it perfectly.
Yes yes yes! One of my favorite ‘80s songs from one of my favorite’80s albums!
This is song always tugged at my heart strings. And a few tears.
Thankyou for reacting to this unbelievable song. This song holds a very special place in my heart because of its story which almost reflects every teen age life back in the days when friends were like family and shared their joys, pains, secrets, heartaches, dreams and crazy ambitions and the memory that defined who you are in a time of innocence and discovery....and each chosen path in life.....and of first loves and broken promises....shit Im starting to get really dramatic now....but its when u reconnect with old friends who knew you from way back and talk about the old days.....its something SPECIAL....the Bond is always there. by the way Dennis De Young is the lead from the band STYX
You have to listen to ‘Show me the way’
Great song too! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
His voice is like fine silk! I've always loved him! The end when he says "I don't know. Maybe Chicago" is because he was born in Chicago and grew up in a community in Chicago called Roseland.
I have always been a fan of STYX and I also enjoy the solo work after the band split, this is one of the best ballads Dennis performed, way up there with Babe
I was in the delivery room and one of my boys was delivered when this song was playing. Being a Styx and a Dennis DeYoung fan since Lady was released in the 70s made it kind of special.
I don't think I've ever heard this song but it's nice and pleasant.
I'm sure this has been pointed out but it's not "The" Styx, it's simply Styx. Never "The." Just had to chime in on that. Love y'all tho. ❤✌
One of my favorite songs by Dennis DeYoung remind you another kid back in the 80s
BEAUTIFUL SONG DENNIS !!!!🎸♥✨
This right here was is the jam
I love Dennis de Young by the way too❤
Styx was one of my favorite bands growing up, when Dennis De Young left Styx I continued to follow him. I purchased all his solo albums. Why Amber said it! great voice his best songs are his ballads
Quintessential 80's love song.. it gives the vibes beautifully of a moment in timeeeee... takes me back to the beach.
I always loved this song by Dennis. You must check out “Call Me” next. Fantastic song!!
I absolutely love this song! It always makes me teary eyed bc it reminds me of growing up and enjoying my friends in my school days!
Pray all of them are doing well! Love you guys thank you for all the memories good and even the crazy ones! ❤️😃
Love you two. You know me and my STYX. Big part of it was this gentleman. He is an amazing performer and arguably one of the best front man of my generation. He has never failed to put on a big show. One of the saddest days of my life when Dennis broke from the band. The silver lining was his solo venture, which began with this song, the album's title track. Desert Moon. I immediately bought the cassette at the army PX right after Army basic training., Along with Walkman player so as to listen to it on the bus ride home. Missouri to Oregon is a long trip. I wore it out since it was the only cassette tape I had. Beautiful music some of Dennis best. You should all take time to listen. The video was even better. It was the height of Mtv. He is a beautiful storyteller.
"Moments pass, and time moves on
But dreams remain, for just as long as there's dreamers..."
Such a perfect and poignant line. Makes the whole song. Speaks of the hopes and regrets of youth and the still unfulfilled possibilities...I love this song!
Dennis is one of my all-time-favorite singers.
This song evokes a sense of nostalgia in me that is hard to explain. Brings back so many memories. 😪
I grew up in the 80’s and loved this song so much. It’s so full of nostalgia. Takes me back to the summer night with my buddies and my girlfriends.
…on Desert Moon
…on Desert Moon
…on…Desert…Moon
More 80’s memories 👍
❤❤❤❤❤ love thus song rsally one of my top favorites of all time. I still remember the 1st time I heard it at a party at one of my older friend Dave's house in November 1984 when i was 13. it was an amazing time in my life.
it does still bring back some very special memories of the group of friends back then including my unrequited 1st love. After over 30 yrs i have not seen him but can still remember his smile, laugh, voice, and his eyes - he was a very special guy with heart of gold & i was lucky enough to meet him when i was almost 13 and he was a few months older then i was Even though last time i saw him or spoke to him was in 1990 every now & again i think of himand smile
Outstanding cut from fall '84...DeYoung's best ever solo song. Thanks!!
This song is by far the best Dennis DeYoung song. It brings back so many memories of my childhood. It’s exactly how I remembered growing up. 💯💕👍
One of my favorites from Dennis DY...Styx is also one of my favorite bands. Nice pick
You should hear some Tomny Shaw solo music. I recommend 2. Girls With Guns and Remo's Theme (What If).
I also recommend a little bit of Steve Lukather's (Toto) solo songs . Lonely Beat of my Heart, Ever-changing Times, I Saw the Sun Again and his latest song When I See You Again are some good songs from Steve Lukather's solo stuff.
Yes, Girls with Guns by Tommy Shaw is a great song. Fun song.
See I love Tommy with Damn Yankees also!!!!!
I can’t believe but am so thrilled you did Dennis DeYoung solo music. I love this whole “album”, had it on cassette tape back on the day. I know you guys have music planned well I advance it if you ever, ever, have a minute to do another DeYoung song ….. consider Harry’s Hands. A story song about working class America that is sweet and sad and still rocks.
cinematic a song with a story/ best lyric those summer nights when we were young we bragged of things we'd never done (didn't we though) we were dreamers only dreamers.
This song always brings back memories of my college days with friends I'll never see again, but wish I could again someday. Always brings a happy tear to my eyes.
What a powerful voice on this guy
Dennis still lives in Chicago and is a neighbor of Jim Peterik of Survivor and Ides of March fame.
This is when Dennis DeYoung broke away from Styx. It's one of the most beautifully written songs and the video is like a short, sad, uplifting movie.
I always loved this song and Dennis!
My wife and I met Dennis a few years back. The way you see him portrayed here is very much the way he is. He's a very soft-spoken family man.
Another extremely uplifting, but more rocking song by Dennis Deyoung is Don't Wait For Heroes. It will give you the feels but not boring at all.
Have this album on vinyl. Love some Dennis DeYoung.
Dennis De Young will ALWAYS be a great drama king!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
My husband of 35 years passed away a couple of weeks ago.
This was one of our favorite songs. Made me cry but thanks for choosing this song.😢💔
This song brings back memories of being in primary school. Young and free singing along to it and many others. What a great time it was.
Aw, Dessert Moon. So many memories with this song. The album was pretty good as well. Check out “Gravity,” and “Southbound Ryan.” Both are fun upbeats numbers.
Certainly a nostalgic and wistful song from the 80s. It was even that way when it came out in the 80s actually
Love, love that song!
Wow! I hadn't heard this song in years!! Thanks!!
GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG SO GOOD !!!
Love this song! On my playlist!
Absolutely classic Dennis. Of course, Dennis actually IS from Chicago (and he's been married to his high school sweetie, Suzanne Feusi, since 1970), but nobody says music has to be autobiographical.
What had happened was that this was the year after "Mr. Roboto" and Tommy Shaw had left the group, in part because he *really* couldn't stand the whole "Kilroy Was Here" theatrical stage show the band had to do for that tour…and on a more practical level, his heroin use was getting out of control (the band even wrote a song about it) and he needed therapy. The rest of the group (James Young and the Panozzo twins) wanted to replace Tommy, since they had just been offered a big stadium tour like what Journey did in 1982 and they wouldn't even need new songs, as they could do a Greatest Hits album.
But Dennis said they should wait for Tommy, and he already had some songs written, so he made a solo album instead. The song was a hit (#10 on the charts), but perhaps it would have been better to move on. Because Tommy didn't come back; he joined Damn Yankees instead.
(You might recall that Tommy had never really wanted to be in Styx after all; when they wanted him to replace John Curulewski [and you still need to do "A Day" or "Mother Dear" to hear JC], Tommy's mates in his old band, Harvest, had to talk him into the gig. And part of the reason why John C. left the band is that Dennis is…not the easiest guy to get along with in the studio, allegedly. So there was an argument for them to move on.)
And so it took almost an entire decade for them to make an album without Tommy. And then they got Tommy back for two albums, but there were still tensions, and this time Tommy got James Young to help kick *Dennis* out of the band. And then came the lawsuits…
Momentum is a hard thing to hold onto, even though Styx had just had FIVE mult-platinum albums in a row. You just had Survivor doing "The Search is Over" and the reason that Jimi Jameson sang that even though original singer Dave Bickler got them their breakthrough on "Eye of the Tiger" is that Dave developed vocal nodules and had to take a year off singing, and the rest of the band was all "sorry, Dave, we can't wait.." Life's rough, sometimes,
For more Styx, try the Curulewski tunes named above, or Tommy doing "Crystal Ball" or "Lights" or James Young doing "Miss America" or "Midnight Ride"
…or Dennis doing "Best Thing" (the first song he wrote for Suzanne) or the beautiful "Golden Lark" or the affirming "I'm Okay" or the song Dennis HATES but I love, "The Grove of Eglantine".
For solo Dennis try "Call Me". Heck, you can even check out Dennis when he was in the national tour of the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar", doing "Pilate's Dream".
Thanks, again.
Thank you!! Don’t Wait for Heroes is next.
My favorite end of summer/August vid. DDY is visiting his hometown roots in the mid-west -and old gf.. aw...
Vid does have a slow start much like Sam Smith's (I'm Not the Only One) that is great the first few times you watch it then you want to skip thru to where the action is.
Nostalgic look back at youth, touching and bittersweet .
Thanks Rob Squad, great job as always !
This Style really was Mr. DeYoung's ace in the hole. Song like "Don't Let It End," "Show Me the Way," "While There's Still Time" (all Styx songs) and then "Call Me," "Harry's Hands," "Crossing The Rubicon," "I Believe In You," "To The Good Ol' Days" (with Julian Lennon" and "Hello, Goodbye," just to name a smattering of songs he's done show why he is truly a master of this thing called music and song writing, producing.
Such an amazing video that links so well to the song. Makes you feel the time and the emotion
another great one from the same album is "Don't Wait For Heroes". also another great "mini movie" music video
This was probably the first music video that I really loved because I loved the story it told. Even today, it makes you feel a longing for youth. Every time I go back to my hometown things have changed and it doesn't feel like home anymore.
He had a wonderful album of Broadway standards that I love to relisten to as often as possible. It includes a great doo-wop version of “On the Street Where You Live.”
This song hits ALL of the feels!!! Such a great song about youth and love. Thank you for doing this one! ♥♥♥
The older ya get the more this song has meaning and the video ties it all together.
Great song and great great voice
Making my way back to Chicago is another Dennis DeYoung solo song you need to here. STYX is from Chicago
We brag of things we never done. We were dreamers.
Greetings from Malaysia.
Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs & Woolly Bully - 1965. Keep it going!!! Love ya. Some nice Sax.
Enjoy watching your videos, they're very well done and detailed explained. Keep em coming!
U guys are my favorite and I won't forget it ❤
Absolutely LOVE this one and so glad you did it! Wanna rock some summer memories? “Stone In Love” from Journey.
yay, Daddy's J's new second fav ballad after FOREVER!!! 🤭
Great tune. Thanks.
Dennis is legend. It's so sad that he and the rest of STYX can't get back together.
BTW... I have a suggestion for a STYX song that Dennis doesn't sing. If you haven't reacted to Too Much Time On My Hands it's a must. Tommy Shaw sings lead, and it's a genuine banger.
I still have the cassette of this album! I used to listen to this after a breakup.
Great song! Awesome review!
Finally reacted to my favorite DDY vocal! Thanks 🙏
You will definitely like this song ♥️ I definitely get lost in it.
Styx's last HUGE song the DDY led Show Me The Way deserves a look and a reaction. The video IMO is one of the best of the 90's. Thank you for playing this.
Dennis DeYoung is an amazing singer. Check out his version of “Someone else’s story” from the musical Chess 💙
I was thinking about Dennis DeYoung and this song last week! I heard Styx on the radio with their cover of a Blind Faith song "Can't Find My Way Home".
Such a great song
Dennis does have a beautiful voice and I love this! I do also really love Styx! Glad you guys reacted to this one, not sure if I know this one or not!
Thanks for doing it!❤❤
I never realized until now, at least in this song, how much he and Michael Sweet from Stryper sound alike. Love this song. So nostalgic
The 1980s, a great time for music and a great time to be young.
