It took me 30 years to find this song. Parts of the song (without words) were in my head since hearing it on the radio as a teenager in 1990. Who knows how many hours I spent scouring the internet trying to figure out the name/band to no avail. In 2020 I saw a random clip from a podcast that was playing a song in the background. I recognized the voice after 3 decades. It only took a minute after that and I found my unicorn. Listening to it for the first time in 30 years took me right back to where I was in 1990 when I first heard this song.

Few months ago taking my 5 yrs old son to his swimming class on a Saturday morning and this song was playing thru speakers in the centre. I was like what an amazing song but I couldn't find this song on KZbin searched hours on end but I could not remember the lyrics. I was going insane. I kept humming the tune the chorus meanwhile my wife thought I went mad. Finally, this morning I woke up and said moonlight that's it !! and here we are. Add this song to my ultimate 80's playlist. I am so relieved. Didn't know the artist was Canadian.

The origin of my love for prog-rock can be traced down to this beautiful song. First heard when I was thirteen years old, bought the Great Dirty World cassette, really enjoyed all of it... But the vocal background by Jon Anderson on this song was my favourite part, and I had no idea who was Jon Anderson at that time... Then one or two years later the ABWH album came out, "I know that voice!!!" Bought the cassette, and that was certainly the most significant musical discovery in my life. Soon after, I found out that Anderson (and Bruford, Wakeman and Howe) were formerly in this old band called Yes... "Hmm, I wonder what Yes sounds like..." Got my hands on the first Yes album I could find. It was Close to the Edge. Need I say more? Today, I am venturing in this fringe sub-genre of prog -rock called Zeuhl, I first heard the band called Magma some ten years ago, and that was the second most significant musical discovery in my life. But it take years and years of Prog training to be able to properly enjoy the music of Magma. Between Yes and Magma, I listened to a lot of (dare I say) mainstream prog and classic prog...

Just a beautiful spirit to this song. Gowan, all day, an incredible look at those "Moonlight Desires", that all men have, for women they champion. Beautifully stated, in a way of purity, and beauty. Magical.

The level of hidden meaning and depth in this song goes beyond anything I could have imagined. When I was away in a long-term residential addiction treatment program in 2010, the chorus of this song was stuck in my head for several months. I didn't know anything about the song, other than I had heard the melody somewhere, but couldn't recall exactly where, who sang it, what genre it was, or what the lyrics were if it had any. For 1,000s of hours in my head, there was something about this I couldn't resist, the song triggered VERY strange and powerful emotions I could not logically account for. Recently I've caught a glimpse into the dimension of my inner reality, there are reasons I can't yet fully explain but am starting to understand why this resonates with me on deep emotional level. I have a personal connection to this song, and many others, but this is one of the strongest. Meaning within meaning, a hidden context, a secret way of communicating. I know it's my subjective interpretation but it amazes me nonetheless. Especially the site where this video was filmed.

Whoever plotted out the video did a great job. Not only is the site glorious - Teotihuacan near Mexico City but much of the video shows and has Gowan moving around on the massive Pyramid of the Moon at that site. Absolutely perfect for a video for a song called Moonlight Desires!

The story I always heard was when Gowan was recording this album Jon Anderson was recording down the hall and heard the song and asked if he could add a little to the song. How cool would it be to have the voice of Yes want to be on your song? What a great song made even better.
