Gowan - Moonlight Desires

[@lmcrae]

probably the most underrated canadian track of all time

[@trevor8493]

Absolutely

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Gowan is criminally underrated, like so many other awesome Canadian groups from the 80s and 90s.

[@sassytroy8282]

@@oilersridersbluejays he's criminally underrated with a criminal mind....sorry had to lol.

[@AlainPelletier-j6u]

Sublime Song

[@beegee1323]

Gowan’s talent is right up there with McCartney and Stevie Wonder. Back then he was unfortunately kept within Canada only thanks to record company politics but now the entire world has access to these awesome songs.

[@petergarland1502]

Easily one of the most underrated songs of all time

[@adanmonroe6922]

Was very popular in 87'

[@Sandy-v6i]

After 30 yrs These Moonlight Desires ...still haunt me ....I will always love this song...and the video is out of sight!!...yes I am 57 yrs old but I heard this when I was 20 yrs old....good music baby❤❤❤I'm from .DETROIT MICHIGAN...

[@kimberlyrogers2544]

This amazing beautiful song brings me back to my very early teen years when I was trying to escape z toxic household and ran znd took solace in strangers.

[@malibustacy3606]

I was working nights in 1987 and none of the radio stations we listened to played this song enough for my liking.

[@pspboy7]

Another example of why canadian artists rock!

[@jpfoy5696]

The backup vocals by Jon Anderson of the group YES are just perfect for this classic song.

[@MATT-2033]

Anytime i hear this song on the radio i don't change the channel. Classic music the complete and opposite of todays flash in the pan music.

[@Movieguy5]

I just discovered this gem of a song for the first time the other day while I was listening to the radio (Which I rarely do) and I love it. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s so catchy! (Sometimes radio is a good thing)

[@alcoholic1638]

When is radio a bad thing?

Takes me back to the degrassi high days

I remember that on pbs here in the us as a kid

[@renemcarthur4983]

One of the first few videos I watched on much music in east Vancouver BC Canada 1986 baby........

[@captainunload]

Came for Strange Animal. Stayed for Moonlight desires. The ending chorus of this song is extremely moving and inspirational for one's own creative endeavors. It STIRS EMOTION. Do any of the hardcore Gowan fans have any other recommendations along the lines of this song?

[@aeriste]

All the Lovers in the World might do. This is his most epic song, though, so it's hard to match xD

[@carbon6390]

Criminal Mind by him is excellent as well

[@goldcanyon340.]

Moonchild’s Psychedelic Holiday has always been a favorite of mine.

[@robertoch3848]

El coro lo realizó el siempre expectacular Jon Anderson vocals of YES

[@rosielanders8723]

Forever One; Out of a Deeper Hunger.

[@JasonGafar]

I've heard this song a few times at the store I work at part time. I immediately loved the hook when I first heard it. I tried listening closely to hear the lyrics, that way I could search it up. I had to spend almost an hour searching through the radio's playlist to find it. It was worth it, though.

[@fettersofdromi]

My late step father's favorite artist. I feel him next to me when I listen to this, like when we used to listen together.

[@AlaborJinta]

Thank you Cauldron !

I always turn it up when 1:49 hits

[@goldcanyon340.]

So true!

[@michaelbeerbados3291]

I bought Gowan albums because he is Canadian and sounded like Jon Anderson. When this song first came out I fist pumped the fact that Jon sang this great backup. Their 2 voices are magic together

[@bariscoskun8534]

He's Scottish

[@dumaguetedreamer]

@@bariscoskun8534 wrong. Lawrence Gowan is Canadian.

Very 🇨🇦 it’s amazing! Love Gowan. Reminds me of my childhood. 🙂

[@kathrynwilliams8457]

First saw Gowan at 17 and still adore his music! Love this album!

[@WeirdyKatz]

You've got ways To take hold of my thoughts Over-riding my senses Lock your sights Dead in line with my heart Share your powers You stir my soul And whet my hunger And weave that spell That pulls me under These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me These moonlight desires Haunt me You're sending, you're sending Secret fires Burning inside me unknown Ragging on Never mentioned Only you Can uncover the flames Break their silence And make them dance For us to see them And break their chains And give them freedom These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me These moonlight desires Haunt me You're sending, you're sending A wave over my mind (wave over my mind) And I fall to it blind You say : Trust me Stir my soul And whet my hunger And weave that spell That pulls me under These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me These moonlight desires Haunt me You're sending, you're sending A wave over my mind Moonlight desires Your secret powers burn me These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me You're sending, you're sending These moonlight desires Haunt me They want me, they want me These moonlight desires Haunt me You're sending, you're sending They want me, they want me A wave over my mind Moonlight desires
