"Desert Moon" is a song written and performed by Dennis DeYoung, a founding member of Styx, from his debut solo album of the same name in 1984. The song was originally intended to be a Styx song until the band broke up. The single reached the #10 position in the US Billboard Hot 100 [1] during the fall of that year, and ended up at #97 on the Billboard top 100 hits for the year 1984. [2]
The music video for the song, directed by Jack Cole, was filmed partly at the train depot and other historic buildings in and around Santa Paula, California.
