In the Moonlight (Do Me) is a song written by Dylan and performed by his band. He wrote the song for Haley and recorded a music video for it, in which they both starred. He first played the song for the family in the season one episode "The Incident", and in the first verse started to convince Phil and Claire that it'd be alright for Haley to date Dylan, but they both immediately changed their minds once he began to passionately sing "I just wanna do you". However, they continued to be a couple.
The song is heard again in the episode "En Garde" where Manny watches the video playing at Journey’s while shopping for new shoes.
In real life, the song was written by Ryan Sage, a writer, producer and director who predominantly works on network promos and micro-budget filmmaking. The music video for the song was directed by Sage, with video production company president Michael Yada as producer and cinematographer Stephen Sheridan as director of photography.
The music video can be seen in full, along with an in-character backstage interview video, on Sage's official Vimeo channel.
Lyrics[]
- The stars are falling from the sky
- And you're the reason why
- The moon is shining on your face
- And I finally think it's found its place
Chorus
- 'Cause maybe, baby
- I just wanna do you, do you
- Do you wanna do me, do me?
- Underneath the moonlight, the moonlight, tonight
- And now we're hiding in my car
- I'll let you see my scars
- Escape the dark for just one night
- Your heart makes me explode with light
Chorus
- 'Cause maybe, baby
- I just wanna do you, do you
- Do you wanna do me, do me?
- Underneath the moonlight, the moonlight, tonight
- Baby, maybe
- maybe I will steal you, steal you
- Just so I can feel you, feel you
- maybe that would heal you, heal you on the inside
- Underneath the willow tree
- Wearing nothing else but me
- Baby...
- I just wanna do you...
- Do you wanna do me?...
- Underneath the moonlight
Chorus
- Maybe, baby
- I just wanna do you, do you
- Do you wanna do me, do me?
- Underneath the moonlight, the moonlight, tonight
- Haley, Haley
- This is why you need me, believe me
- Close your eyes and breathe deep, breathe deep
- Let me set your mind free
- Till the sunrise
