Rodger Lang, your are right - those 2 songs seem to be the only ones you hear about. I was a kid in their heyday, but I remember them, Boston, ELO and groups like that were huge and filled stadiums.
Kansas showed up at a Supernatural panel at Comic Con and surprised the audience by randomly showing up and playing this song. Everyone was rocking out including the ushers. It was awesome.
I' just about to begin my 5th rewatch of Supernatural. I miss it and I've watched everything except for the final episode. I started and it was too hard.
Icarus, in Greek mythology, flew too close to the sun. His wings melted and he dropped back to earth. Kerry Livgren had a philosophical bent. He thought deeply about life and eventually came to the ultimate conclusion that any achievement is temporary. He wrote both this song and Dust in the Wind. It's wonderful to me that, rather than let his thinking lead to despair, he let it lead him to Christianity.
Then, "Sparks of the Tempest". I swear, that song from over 40 years ago was prophetic and applies to the world today! For your info, here are the lyrics to the song: The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same The difference between us is a part of the game Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun The dead are the living in the age of the gun While everyone clamors for the justice they seek The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain Though they may promise, they only bring pain The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke The less that you know the more you fall into place A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face Run for the cover, Millennium's here Bearing the standard of confusion and fear Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain Though they may promise, they only bring pain Blood in the sand, a cry in the street Now the cycle is nearly complete Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned No turning back, now the wheel has turned Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same The difference between us is a part of the game Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies What is this madness that is filling the skies Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain Though they may promise, they only bring pain
Wow, this song has some deep spiritual meaning,. It was written just before he became a Christian and the words really do a good job of describing the process of searching for the truth and eventually finding Jesus.
Actually, there is a RUclips interview of Kerry Livgren, who wrote most (not all) of the Prog stuff, and he doesn't know how to read or write music. That blows my mind. He did listen to a lot of classical music and that clearly influenced him. Steve Walsh did have a few years of piano lessons under his belt.
Jamal loves real music. I can imagine having him as a friend and saying, "listen to this Dude" and he'd be right into it. That's what makes his reaction vids entertaining, his enthusiasm. Rock on Jamal!
This song is at the beginning of most season finale episodes of 'Supernatural' TV show and is considered the closest thing to a theme song for the show.
At the 2017 ComiCon, Kansas made a surprise appearance for the fans of "Supernatural" which uses the song as an unofficial theme song. www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/supernatural-kansas-carry-wayward-son-comic-con-surprise-1025151
I’m 58 yrs old. This song always takes me back. This song continues to be one of my favorite “jams” when I need to rock out! I always crank it up when it come on the radio! Quality music will always have relevance!
"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas lyrics: I close my eyes Only for a moment, and the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Now don't hang on Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind (All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind (In the wind)
Since this is my wife's tablet and as a hunter, I used singing it as Ducks In The Wind. It was one of those songs that always seemed to be on the radio. Reminds me of another one, Bad Moon on the Rise, CCR. Personally I turned it into There's a Bathroom On the Right. Loved the songs but you heard them on the radio ALL the time. Please no one give me crap it's just a comment that I felt like giving. I mean no disrespect to any one.
"The Wall" is the one Kansas song I keep coming back to. After 40 years of listening to this band, it is the one that I don't feel is dated or irrelevant.
This song came on the radio when I was on the way to my mothers funeral. It completely destroyed me! Fate gave me this song at just the right time. God bless you, brother! I love you! Please, share the love!!!
Went to an amphitheatre in 2006 for Kansas. An hour into the show they turned lights out 5 minutes (beer for me). But about 3,000 of the 10,000 people left. They hadn't played "Dust", yet: I and my date wasn't moving! It came next. But was perfectly quiet for the intro. Awesome
I was wondering when you were gonna get to this one, Jamel. It's one of the quintessential rock tunes of all time, but what sets it apart from most is that, where most songs have only one hook that drives the tune, this song is literally hook after hook after hook; each taking you further along the journey. If you're digging that Hammond B3 Organ, then you're gonna LOVE Kansas. I would recommend "Point of No Return". Peace, love, and music, brother! ヅ
This song is the epitome of the "timeless classic." First of all, its song structure is so damn complex. The instrumentation is out of this world coupled with outstanding vocals plus profound lyrical messages. And all of this was composed and recorded without any modern day computer hardware and software. WOW!!!
Seen them Live many times, Last year at the Binghamton NY Speedie Fest was the absolute best I've heard Ronnie Platt sing. Yes and tight as ever as a band.
Funny story: They performed this and Dust in the wind at my church Easter morning service about 7 years ago. It was awesome! Got to sit in the front row and sing with him. I guess he was friends with our pastor. Good times 🤣🥰🥰🥰
@Mike Walter I used to play keyboards. I made the mistake of buying a KB300 amp, where the amp and speakers were one unit. I couldn't move it, so the guys kept it in the truck and I just brought the keyboards, etc.
Kerry Livgreen was one of the writers of this song and like "Dust in the Wind" it is heavily influenced by his search for meaning in life and God. He later left the band and became a Christian music artist. It appears that you're searching a bit yourself, having a shirt about teaching peace. Jesus claimed to offer a peace that transcends all understanding. He also said we all would face storms, but that if we would trust Him as our rock, we would have peace in the midst of them.
Kerry Livgren wrote this song totally on his own and it's about his spiritual journey through many and varied religions...he finally became a Christian around 1980..( it's all In his book 'seeds of change'...) Incredible songwriter/poet
And when they play it on the final episode of the entire series I am going to be in hysterics and will cry every single time I hear this song For ever after that. I have already booked my appointments with my psychiatrist To help me deal with the end Of supernatural. Or rather, as Jenson says, it's not goodbye That were just going away for a little bit
yes now your talking by the way jamal play some yes too, i like don't kill the whale it's an older song by them but certainly not a bad song by no means check it out i think you'll be impressed
This song is basically the Parable of the Wayward Son from the Bible put told in the form of a song. Dust in the Wind and The Wall are also good songs by Kansas among many others.
One the greatest songs of all time , when Kansas made this classic , no stone was left unturned from start to finish , i don't think the modern bands could ever come close , 5 minutes of extreme musical timing , great lyrics , guitar , drums and vocal timing , this is my top 2 of all time songs , the other is Riders on the storm . A song for everyone . All lives matter ..
This song is a standout. This performance/song/band is one of the best ever. The lead singer also plays the church keyboards but bounces back and forth from them to bongos to vocals. If you get a chance, watch the live version. I was fortunate to see them in concert in Detroit in the 70s. They sound live like the studio recording. They must be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but sadly aren't........ yet.
Such a kickass tune, from the ultimate era of music: classic rock. DUST IN THE WIND is much softer, but the lyrics are deep and meaningful, and kind of sad.
I remember when it came out, never heard of Kansas before, talk about an impactful song, wow, never heard anything like it, think it was 1976, getting close to the end of the classic rock era, wonder how many records we flipped through in record stores back then, could spend all day, and then bring them back home and put them in the milk crate, to flip through them again.
Bands like Kansas, Boston, Chicago, ELO (even if they're not in the geography club), they transcend era and they're beyond any division. People will be rocking out to their music in 3020
"Dust in the Wind" is totally different but still an all-timer. Check out some Todd Rundgren, too: "Hello, It's Me", "I Saw the Light" or "Bang the Drum All Day"
Long story here. Kansas is one of my favorite concert experiences. There was an ice storm in Portland and the whole city just stopped. Cheap Trick was scheduled to open the show but one of their equipment trucks went off the road in the ice, so Kansas played to a 1/4 capacity crowd after inviting everyone down to the front of the stage. Watching this band play for almost 5 hours was amazing.
When I was growing up, this song didn't get a lot of radio play. It was basically a forgotten classic until the TV show Supernatural resurrected it for their season finale. Suddenly it's been omnipresent on classic rock stations.
When I saw Kansas in Atlanta, Steve Young had six keyboards, a Wurlitzer organ and a Hammond B3. Kerry Livgren had three keyboards in front of him, and he played guitar. I saw Steve play standing on his hands. Incredible.
It was actually in a movie from either 1976 or 1977 called Heroes with Henry Winkler. Also, in the single version, the organ part isn't in it. They cut that out and went straight to the guitar solo. Of course tape editing with a razor blade and splicing tape was a real art back in the day.
Your reaction in the intro is what I expect in most of these songs. I'm surprised when people today don't know these songs. Kansas's "Dust in the Wind" is the most beautiful song to me. Their storytelling is so good.
It is mixing a bunch of different famous biblical, and Greek tales. I was flying ever higher, but I flew too high is Icarus. Carry On Wayward I believe is in the tale of Ulysses.
One song they have that is really incredible is called "The Wall". Its about dealing with - and conquering - depression,, making it a very hope-filled song. Here are the lyrics for you: I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between All I am and all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries My spirit would erase To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through to glimplse the other side The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me to know it well The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me I must tear down the wall let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss I'd love to see your reaction to this one!
I agree with others who mentioned "Miracles out of Nowhere." Just an outstanding composition. Also on the same album is "What's on my Mind." On an earlier album, Masque, you should check out "Icarus (Born on Wings of Steel)."
Please play Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle,” “Jet Airliner,” “Jungle Love,” “The Joker,” “Rockin Me,” Swing Town,” “Abbracadabra,” and more! Thanks
@@LilHoss I wanted to see them last month but the corona virus delayed the concert. I saw them in 2007 and I got to be front row center! I love their new lineup BTW
“Song for America” in my top 5 Kansas songs. Amazing band. Talent across the board. Boys could jam. Definitely check out “Song For America”. Musical journey.
The joy i feel from watching someone else understanding what great music classic rock is is so wonderful. Im 50. watching the reaction of another human feeling what i felt the first time is incredible. Thank you!!
I can’t like this comment enough. Yes!!! So much talent in the music of the 70’s and 80’s. Lyrics are carefully crafted (for the most part) and filled with meaning. The skill of the musicians and singer - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!
You've gotten to the point in this journey where Journey is inevitable. Lovin, Touchin. Squeezin. Wheel in the Sky. Walks like a Lady. Don't stop believing. Once you've covered Journey it'll be time for REO Speedwagon.
Probably my all time favorite song!! Loved the look of total recognition on your face after you heard the first few notes/words. If you know this you most likely have heard 'Dust in the Wind' too. Both absolutely great songs!! Looking forward to your reaction to it.

I saw Kansas decades ago then recently...superb musicianship, excellent compositions. I met a local drummer a few years ago who's son was the current Kansas drummer. Father/son drummers. Geneva, IL.
Jamel, Kansas wrote this song for the 1977 movie "Heroes" starring Henry Winkler, Sally Fields and Harrison Ford; Vietnam War Film depicting the the struggles of civilian life post war.
Back in the the day when these bands came out with hit songs, you would hear the single on the radio or you heard about the song/band by word of mouth, house parties etc . We didn't have the exposure via internet that we have now a days. You save your money go by the LP. You would play the song over and over and over to learn the lyrics. The good old days.
This is the theme song for my fave show Supernatural. The guy who reacts to the episodes of the show calls himself Wayward Winchester. Thanks Kansas💝💝💝
This is a PERFECT STORM song! Magnum Opus! It has EVERYTHING! Everyone firing on ALL CYLINDERS! This song reminds me of my late brother. "Carry on, my Wayward Son, there'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't Cha cry no more!" R.I.P. my Tommie. ♥️😭♥️
A buddy of mine, who is a musician, and hardcore Parliament-Funkadelic fan, reluctantly went to see Kansas in concert, at the suggestion of a friend. By the time the concert was over, he was absolutely in love with 'Kansas'. What most impressed him was how, at one point in the show, the members all switched instruments with each other during a song. As a musician myself, I can appreciate that type of talent, ability, and gift. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Man, Miracle out of Nowhere is the song that made me a fan of Kansas for life. I heard the song the same week my wife and I found out we were expecting our first child. Although the situations different, it sticks with me because we were told we were never going to have kids, and then boom. A miracle out of nowhere. Amazing song.
My second concert ever. Spring of 1977 in Seattle. You will most likely recognize a couple songs off the album that followed “Leftoverture”. The next album “Point of no return” features the title track and “Dust in the Wind” which I’m sure you’ve heard before. But both those albums are like their masterpieces. Enjoy my friend, you’ll love it! 🎸

Kansas is criminally underrated. You only really ever hear this song and Dust in the Wind. Their entire catalog is phenomenal
Indeed. There are some albums which are not as great as their other albums but they've never recorded a bad album.
Death to mother nature suite and song for America
Carry on wayward. son is lame in comparison
Rodger Lang, your are right - those 2 songs seem to be the only ones you hear about. I was a kid in their heyday, but I remember them, Boston, ELO and groups like that were huge and filled stadiums.
"criminally underrated" is perfect

I remember that Supernatural panel. Nice to see SPNFamily here. I'm a Jensen/Dean girl. 😀
If you dig around on RUclips you can find J squared and Misha rocking out at the back of the room with no one noticing.

Borne on Wings of Steel (about Icarus) by Kansas, is one of my favorite songs, on the album Masque
@@juliehalperson3206 that and the Pinnacle are my favorites and Cheyenne Anthem
obvious choice on Kansas would be "Dust In The Wind"..
Then, "Sparks of the Tempest". I swear, that song from over 40 years ago was prophetic and applies to the world today! For your info, here are the lyrics to the song:
The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on
The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
The difference between us is a part of the game
Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun
The dead are the living in the age of the gun
While everyone clamors for the justice they seek
The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak
They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do
The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke
You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke
The less that you know the more you fall into place
A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face
Run for the cover, Millennium's here
Bearing the standard of confusion and fear
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
Blood in the sand, a cry in the street
Now the cycle is nearly complete
Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned
No turning back, now the wheel has turned
Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees
A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
The difference between us is a part of the game
Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies
What is this madness that is filling the skies
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
YOU’RE MY BOY BLUE!
Yep
Yes
Seriously that song has been running to the ground so much who wants to listen to that again ugh
Dust In the Wind, Point of Know Return, Portrait(He Knew), The Wall, Child of Innocence, Miracles Out of Nowhere
Those would be a good start but there are so many great songs.
@@mikec.3168 Point of Now Return was kick a.. as well.
Dude I like your suggestions also He knew.
Portrait(He Knew)....(jesus)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yEAH bOY!!!!!!
Portrait (he knew) yes!
Wow, this song has some deep spiritual meaning,. It was written just before he became a Christian and the words really do a good job of describing the process of searching for the truth and eventually finding Jesus.
The drumming is so incredible! Super talented musicians! It’s criminal that they aren’t in the rock n roll hall of fame! Great band!
The hall is a political pile of shit now. Who gives a flying fuck what the owner of rolling stone thinks
You know, the members of Kansas were classicly trained. That's why their music is sooo epic.
Actually, there is a RUclips interview of Kerry Livgren, who wrote most (not all) of the Prog stuff, and he doesn't know how to read or write music. That blows my mind. He did listen to a lot of classical music and that clearly influenced him. Steve Walsh did have a few years of piano lessons under his belt.
Also, Robbie Steinhardt's father was a music prof at the University of Kansas. Some background there, as well.
Don't forget 2 bands combined to form Kansas.
Jamal loves real music. I can imagine having him as a friend and saying, "listen to this Dude" and he'd be right into it. That's what makes his reaction vids entertaining, his enthusiasm. Rock on Jamal!
And the fact that it feels like he gets the music and not just hearing it...but feeling it....and he wants to get it
You MUST listen to “Icarus, Bourne on Wings of Steel,” AND OF COURSE, “Dust In The Wind.”
Spot on! I was thinking that over a year ago.
Yeah when he thought primus was good I liked him
And he'd share what hits him, too. That would be awesome
I can't help it, every time I hear this I just imagine a black '67 Impala driving down a dusty back road. Forever associated with _Supernatural_ .
although I also like supernatural, the first thing that comes to my mind is randy marshs interpretation of the song.
Same lol
Driver picks the music, shot gun shuts his cake hole
Don't you cry no more!
Landen Michelin the road so far
It's a masterpiece- vocals, lyrics, and instrumentation! It is all there!

I will always think of Supernatural when I hear this song! ❤️. Oh the feels!
It's basically the anthem of the Winchester boys life.
The last episode of supernatural is called carry on if no one knows
@@myles3856 why is that making me sad lol
Yep, the 70s when Kansas, Chicago, Boston, Alabama, & America were all great bands.
That's a very diverse group, great job 🤘✌
Thin Lizzy.
..and not polarly divided communities of people.
ARS.. very underrated 70s band.
Dont forget the other place-name bands.. Orleans, LRB,... Asia, Europe & Berlin
I always loved the way this song starts like an old time gospel song and then goes into that classic rock jam.
I’m 58 yrs old. This song always takes me back. This song continues to be one of my favorite “jams” when I need to rock out! I always crank it up when it come on the radio! Quality music will always have relevance!
"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas lyrics:
I close my eyes
Only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Now don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
(All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind
(Everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
(In the wind)
Yes!! Gotta check out "Dust in the Wind"!!! Thank you, periwinkle, for giving him the lyrics!

Yes! Great tune. And 'Song For America' is my favorite (albeit I haven't heard all of their stuff yet).
The entire Leftoverture album is stunningly brilliant
This song came on the radio when I was on the way to my mothers funeral. It completely destroyed me! Fate gave me this song at just the right time. God bless you, brother! I love you! Please, share the love!!!
Kansas, “Point of Know Return”, “Dust in the Wind”
Know Return
Two very good choices.

I fixed it, thanks! 😊
Indeed, Dust in the wind is one of those songs he will know for sure and appreciate hearing in its totality.
Went to an amphitheatre in 2006 for Kansas. An hour into the show they turned lights out 5 minutes (beer for me). But about 3,000 of the 10,000 people left. They hadn't played "Dust", yet: I and my date wasn't moving!
It came next. But was perfectly quiet for the intro. Awesome
Kansas ~ "Hold On" "He Knew" "Closet Chronicles" "Point Of No Return" "Play The Game Tonight" "Dust In The Wind"
Love them all
All great tunes. Minor correction: "Point of Know Return"
@@davidhansen2748 "Minor Correction" that completely changes things.... lol

As complex or more than some Queen songs, which is saying something.
One of the songs ever
They were this good live, too! Incredible musicians.
I will add my voice to the chorus: Dust in the Wind is an all time great.
Steve Walsh, one of the best voices in rock history.
Badass on keyboard s too
This is what we called “kick ass” music back in the day. It’s still good today and always will be.
One of the greatest rock songs of all time. IMO.
Rockerchic 88 top 3 in m opinion.
Kansas was the tightest band ever. Impeccable musicians and not just another studio band
(They're still together and touring.)
Seen them live in 83 in New Orleans
Musicianship on par with Chicago and Steely Dan
@@michaelszczekot8920 and steve walsh had a mind-boggling voice
Seen them Live many times, Last year at the Binghamton NY Speedie Fest was the absolute best I've heard Ronnie Platt sing. Yes and tight as ever as a band.
I’m from Kansas and I saw them live in Topeka Kansas, and “Point of No Return” is another great song.
If like the hammond organ, listen to Booker T and the MGs "Green Onions"
Funny story: They performed this and Dust in the wind at my church Easter morning service about 7 years ago. It was awesome! Got to sit in the front row and sing with him. I guess he was friends with our pastor. Good times 🤣🥰🥰🥰
Back when bands hauled around "that church organ" Hamond B3, a staple of the classic rock sound.
I used to follow a band where the keyboardist used one. It was a WHALE! Eventually he switched to a Yamaha, but still brought the leslie speaker.
The bane of every roadie.
@ Or when you work for the only backline rental in town that has one.
@Mike Walter I used to play keyboards. I made the mistake of buying a KB300 amp, where the amp and speakers were one unit. I couldn't move it, so the guys kept it in the truck and I just brought the keyboards, etc.
Boss hammond!
Another great artist, Cat Stevens singing Morning has Broken. So good! You’ll love it.
Kerry Livgreen was one of the writers of this song and like "Dust in the Wind" it is heavily influenced by his search for meaning in life and God. He later left the band and became a Christian music artist. It appears that you're searching a bit yourself, having a shirt about teaching peace. Jesus claimed to offer a peace that transcends all understanding. He also said we all would face storms, but that if we would trust Him as our rock, we would have peace in the midst of them.
Amen bro. Many years ago I saw John Elefante. And many of these songs were like worship songs.
Back in the day I seen AD live in Syracuse, circa 85, great show
It’s actually about Vietnam and the soldiers searching for peace from their PTSD. The band told this to the crowd at a concert in LA I attended.
Kerry Livgren wrote this song totally on his own and it's about his spiritual journey through many and varied religions...he finally became a Christian around 1980..( it's all In his book 'seeds of change'...) Incredible songwriter/poet
The unofficial theme to the CW's Supernatural. One episode, a school takes the song down to pretty much the vocals and it's beautiful.
SPN fam!!!! Can’t believe it’s going to be over 😩
Team Free Will Forever. ♥️💔
And when they play it on the final episode of the entire series I am going to be in hysterics and will cry every single time I hear this song For ever after that. I have already booked my appointments with my psychiatrist To help me deal with the end Of supernatural. Or rather, as Jenson says, it's not goodbye That were just going away for a little bit
@@lesaahrenstein6360 oh, I'll be inconsolable. Then Covid19 has put it all in limbo!
When quarantine started I decided to watch again from the beginning. I’m in the middle of season 13 and my heart is so sad. I’m not ready !!!
"Dust in the Wind," "The Wall," and "Point of No Return."
Love the wall.
"Miracles Out of Nowhere" from this same album is my favorite.
Not my favorite but I love the song.
yes now your talking by the way jamal play some yes too, i like don't kill the whale it's an older song by them but certainly not a bad song by no means check it out i think you'll be impressed
Love Kansas! Will always have a soft spot for “Dust In The Wind” !!!
This song is basically the Parable of the Wayward Son from the Bible put told in the form of a song. Dust in the Wind and The Wall are also good songs by Kansas among many others.
"If I claim to be a wise man - it surely means that Idon't know" lyrics to live by!
One the greatest songs of all time , when Kansas made this classic , no stone was left unturned from start to finish , i don't think the modern bands could ever come close , 5 minutes of extreme musical timing , great lyrics , guitar , drums and vocal timing , this is my top 2 of all time songs , the other is Riders on the storm . A song for everyone . All lives matter ..
This song is a standout. This performance/song/band is one of the best ever. The lead singer also plays the church keyboards but bounces back and forth from them to bongos to vocals. If you get a chance, watch the live version. I was fortunate to see them in concert in Detroit in the 70s. They sound live like the studio recording. They must be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but sadly aren't........ yet.
Such a kickass tune, from the ultimate era of music: classic rock. DUST IN THE WIND is much softer, but the lyrics are deep and meaningful, and kind of sad.
I'm sure he's heard that one too
I remember when it came out, never heard of Kansas before, talk about an impactful song, wow, never heard anything like it, think it was 1976, getting close to the end of the classic rock era, wonder how many records we flipped through in record stores back then, could spend all day, and then bring them back home and put them in the milk crate, to flip through them again.
I think this song is about heaven ❤️
I totally agree with your sentiment about the classic era of rock music.
Deep enough to impress So Crates
Bands like Kansas, Boston, Chicago, ELO (even if they're not in the geography club), they transcend era and they're beyond any division. People will be rocking out to their music in 3020
Geography club 😂😂😂
Speaking of Chicago. I'd like too hear more of them. We all appreciate what u. do. Your my favorite disc jockey. Lol
Add Grateful Dead
@@GarlTsagan am from the future. He did. Boy, did he ever!
Thank you!!!! Kansas is still my all time favorite. You gotta do "The Wall", "Born on Wings of Steel" such amazing music!!!
That was a pure genuine action and response when the church organ came in. Great band.
"Dust in the Wind" is totally different but still an all-timer. Check out some Todd Rundgren, too: "Hello, It's Me", "I Saw the Light" or "Bang the Drum All Day"
More Todd: "Time Heals," "The Want of a Nail," "Just One Victory," "International Feel."
Now you're moving into Gary Wright territory !!!!!!
My fave Rundgren song is Couldn't I Just Tell You?. Also like We Got To Get You a Woman.
Hello Its Me ❤
Long story here. Kansas is one of my favorite concert experiences. There was an ice storm in Portland and the whole city just stopped. Cheap Trick was scheduled to open the show but one of their equipment trucks went off the road in the ice, so Kansas played to a 1/4 capacity crowd after inviting everyone down to the front of the stage. Watching this band play for almost 5 hours was amazing.
What year?
Without searching out ticket stubs, I’d say somewhere around ‘79-‘81. Those were hazy days. ;-)
When I was growing up, this song didn't get a lot of radio play. It was basically a forgotten classic until the TV show Supernatural resurrected it for their season finale. Suddenly it's been omnipresent on classic rock stations.
When I saw Kansas in Atlanta, Steve Young had six keyboards, a Wurlitzer organ and a Hammond B3. Kerry Livgren had three keyboards in front of him, and he played guitar. I saw Steve play standing on his hands. Incredible.
Song is also used for the recap of the final episode of every ‘Supernatural’ season
My son and I have already agreed that hearing it for the last time is probably going to put us in tears.
and then the Fan Fiction musical...
Season 10 and 11 finale does not play the song
Nice to know.
Patrick maclachlan It played on my DVD sets!
"Teach Peace". Amen brother, amen. Let there be Peace when we are done.
It was actually in a movie from either 1976 or 1977 called Heroes with Henry Winkler. Also, in the single version, the organ part isn't in it. They cut that out and went straight to the guitar solo. Of course tape editing with a razor blade and splicing tape was a real art back in the day.
Your reaction in the intro is what I expect in most of these songs. I'm surprised when people today don't know these songs. Kansas's "Dust in the Wind" is the most beautiful song to me. Their storytelling is so good.
"If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know" is taken from Plato's "Apology."
And the Bible...
Thank you for the information. I did not know that
@@gogriz3591 I'm pretty sure that Kerry got it from the Bible.
@@danieljodrey709 Please man ,let's not start that ,i'm right and your wrong dialogue ,enjoy the music ,because ,nothing else matters .
It is mixing a bunch of different famous biblical, and Greek tales. I was flying ever higher, but I flew too high is Icarus. Carry On Wayward I believe is in the tale of Ulysses.
"Dust in the wind" by Kansas. It's spiritual.
One song they have that is really incredible is called "The Wall". Its about dealing with - and conquering - depression,, making it a very hope-filled song. Here are the lyrics for you:
I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between
All I am and all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries
My spirit would erase
To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimplse the other side
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me to know it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss
I'd love to see your reaction to this one!
I seen them like 10 times in the 70's. Such a damn good band! You need too see a live video. Electric violin too🤟
Dust in the wind one of the greatest songs they ever did
Sam: " Dean!"
Dean: "Sam!"
Moose and squirrel.
In the first few seasons it was also sometimes 'Sammy!!!'
Hello boys
Immediately went scrolling for Supernatural references.
Are you all familiar with "The Hillywood Show". If not, they do a Supernatural parody you should check out.
I agree with others who mentioned "Miracles out of Nowhere." Just an outstanding composition. Also on the same album is "What's on my Mind." On an earlier album, Masque, you should check out "Icarus (Born on Wings of Steel)."
Supernatural absolutely took over this song for me. I can never hear it without thinking of Sam and Dean. 😆❤️
Please play Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle,” “Jet Airliner,” “Jungle Love,” “The Joker,” “Rockin Me,” Swing Town,” “Abbracadabra,” and more! Thanks
Yes! Steve Miller!
Oh yeah, fly like an Eagle for sure!
I'll toss on "True Fine Love," "The Stake" and "Living In The USA" on that pile for sure!
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Gotta love Steve Miller band
Steve Walsh: A very underrated singer !
@@LilHoss Saw them live and Steve Walsh was playing the keyboards while doing a handstand
@@LilHoss I wanted to see them last month but the corona virus delayed the concert. I saw them in 2007 and I got to be front row center!
I love their new lineup BTW
Waaaaaaaaaay underated...
He was voted the purest voice with the most range back in 1977. He's one of the best.
I remember seeing them back up Aerosmith before they we're big! Best opening act I've ever seen!
Kansas performed this song live at the Supernatural Comic Con San Diego panel in 2017 as a surprise. It was super awesome!
Steve Walsh and Robbie Steinhardt created some of the most amazing harmonies in the history of rock and roll.
“Song for America” in my top 5 Kansas songs. Amazing band. Talent across the board. Boys could jam. Definitely check out “Song For America”. Musical journey.
Ditto - Song for America is one of the most underrated songs EVER!
"Dust in the wind" is another song by Kansas you must react to
Dust. Wind. Dude......
This song comes to me when I’m grinding in life, down and almost out.
The joy i feel from watching someone else understanding what great music classic rock is is so wonderful. Im 50. watching the reaction of another human feeling what i felt the first time is incredible. Thank you!!
yeah, old school musicians had talent, oh the good old days
Honor to say I lived that era 56 and still loving all those tunes
I can’t like this comment enough. Yes!!! So much talent in the music of the 70’s and 80’s. Lyrics are carefully crafted (for the most part) and filled with meaning. The skill of the musicians and singer - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!
You've gotten to the point in this journey where Journey is inevitable. Lovin, Touchin. Squeezin. Wheel in the Sky. Walks like a Lady. Don't stop believing. Once you've covered Journey it'll be time for REO Speedwagon.
Have you explored cheap trick? Surrender. California man, dream police Clock strikes 10 , speak now or forever hokd your peace. the list is endless
@@joeg3741 Ghost Town is a good one too👍
Journey is God
@@TatianaProphetMusic they certainly were in the 80's.
Probably my all time favorite song!!
Loved the look of total recognition on your face after you heard the first few notes/words. If you know this you most likely have heard 'Dust in the Wind' too. Both absolutely great songs!! Looking forward to your reaction to it.
I saw Kansas decades ago then recently...superb musicianship, excellent compositions.
I met a local drummer a few years ago who's son was the current Kansas drummer. Father/son drummers. Geneva, IL.
Now I'm imagining the little older lady that plays the organ at my church, peeling off into that organ solo mid Amazing Grace! 😂
LOL! Some of born again types used to be rockers!
I love your reactions. They are really something. “Dust in the Wind” and “Point of no Return” are two of their other big hits.
Anita Paulus point of know return
Shaun Hensley Thanks for the homonym correction
Crazy some people haven't heard these great oldies, glad they're still getting found by new ears
Steve Walsh was an AMAZING vocalist !! He played the keyboards while singing like that too !!
Bands like this motivated me to study music and have a career teaching kids to rock...Yeah!!!
“Play the game tonight”
I was just going to mention this song. Thank you 👍
That's my favorite Kansas song!
I was just thinking of this one. Great suggestion.
R.I.P. Robby Steinhardt. I saw Kansas twice in concert some time ago and they were amazing both times. What incredible talent!
Jamel, Kansas wrote this song for the 1977 movie "Heroes" starring Henry Winkler, Sally Fields and Harrison Ford; Vietnam War Film depicting the the struggles of civilian life post war.
"I didn't know all that was in there!"
^ The problem with radio only ever playing the shortened "single" versions of songs....
Back in the the day when these bands came out with hit songs, you would hear the single on the radio or you heard about the song/band by word of mouth, house parties etc . We didn't have the exposure via internet that we have now a days. You save your money go by the LP. You would play the song over and over and over to learn the lyrics. The good old days.
Yes I remember having my 33s and 45s. Those were the days
My parents had this lp when I was a kid and I pretty much annihilated it from listening to it over and over again. Whole album is fire!
I So love that you play music from my time ❣️❣️❣️ I am 61 years old and these songs bring back So Many Wonderful memories 🥰🥰🥰
There was NOTHING on the radio that sounded like this song or Kansas!!! FANTASTIC!!!
This is the theme song for my fave show Supernatural. The guy who reacts to the episodes of the show calls himself Wayward Winchester. Thanks Kansas💝💝💝
This is a PERFECT STORM song! Magnum Opus! It has EVERYTHING! Everyone firing on ALL CYLINDERS!
This song reminds me of my late brother. "Carry on, my Wayward Son, there'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't Cha cry no more!"
R.I.P. my Tommie. ♥️😭♥️
Cherish the memory of your brother. 💗
A buddy of mine, who is a musician, and hardcore Parliament-Funkadelic fan, reluctantly went to see Kansas in concert, at the suggestion of a friend. By the time the concert was over, he was absolutely in love with 'Kansas'. What most impressed him was how, at one point in the show, the members all switched instruments with each other during a song. As a musician myself, I can appreciate that type of talent, ability, and gift. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
This group needs to be in the Rock N'Roll hall of fame. Also, anyone that watches's the tv show Supernatural knows this song.
Peter Framton, “Baby I love Your Way”, “Do you Feel Like We Do”
All of frampton comes alive!
This!
@@kevingruenofficial Makes sure it's the COMPLETE "Do You Feel Like We Do", not the single version.
"Don't Fear the Reaper" by The Blue Oyster Cult
I think Jamel may have done that one. I know I saw a reaction to it...Yep, here it is...ruclips.net/video/_dDVJr8WwIQ/видео.html
@@stevetournay3731 oh ok thanks man
Blue Oyster Cult and Edgar Winter was my first concert 💜✌️
Supernatural!!! season 1
Man, Miracle out of Nowhere is the song that made me a fan of Kansas for life. I heard the song the same week my wife and I found out we were expecting our first child. Although the situations different, it sticks with me because we were told we were never going to have kids, and then boom. A miracle out of nowhere. Amazing song.
ruclips.net/video/jseTa7HUIDU/видео.html
Love this song!!! It's nice to see someone react and enjoy good music.
Next Kansas tune: "Icarus: Born on Wings of Steel" an absolute classic.
We're on the same page my friend.
Always my go-to Kansas pick. Icarus Borne ...was where I discovered them. Steve Walsh's vocals are a revelation on so many of their tunes.
A tremendous suggestion
My all-time favorite song. Which is ironic since I have acrophobia! XD
I prefer Iron Maiden's "Flight of Icarus"
Every time I hear this now I think of the TV show "Supernatural". Can't help it.
Same
Also same! Now, I'd heard this song before I got into the show, and enjoyed it already, but I definitely can't help associating it with SPN now.
Yep! I always think it’s season finale time!
Dean and Sam.
The road so far....
“Icarus Wings Of Steel”. One of my personal faves. There are so many! Check out “Cheyenne Anthem”.
My second concert ever. Spring of 1977 in Seattle. You will most likely recognize a couple songs off the album that followed “Leftoverture”. The next album “Point of no return” features the title track and “Dust in the Wind” which I’m sure you’ve heard before. But both those albums are like their masterpieces. Enjoy my friend, you’ll love it! 🎸
