“CARRY ON WAYWARD SON” is a perfect follow up song, one of the absolute most reacted to songs on RUclips. Another great Kansas violin song is “POINT OF KNOW RETURN”.
Yes please.
Absolutely! Kansas was one of the Best ever!
Carry on.. is a classic I would also suggest Icarus, borne on wings of steel, and yes,point is another great from my teens
I wouldn't even call it a follow-up. If somebody could only ever hear one song by Kansas, it should be "Carry On Wayward Son".
Dust in the wind is arguably one of the prettiest songs ever written and performed. The vocals, the harmonies, lyrics, and visuals are absolutely stunning! 😇
Kansas was overly criticized by "the critics" (what else is new) for being too commercial. They were good musicians, who wrote very nice palatable tunes. If it were easy, everyone would do it.
I wouldn't say "arguably". It absolutely is.
@@trishc3099 I vote Jefferson Starship Miracles. Not the "greatest" song. But it sure was pretty.
Stairway to Heaven was also a beautiful song, only it had occultism meaning. Led Zepplin did this song.
@sharoncrawford7192 I'm honestly not sure what you mean by "occultism." It's obviously high fantasy, but at least to me, the terms are not interchangeable. Those guys were huge fans of Tolkien and it bleeds into a lot of their stuff. Check out "Battle of Evermore".
RIP Robby Steinhardt. He brought not only the violin to progressive rock but his vocals and song writing chops were second to none.
If you want more violin, catch RUSH's 'Losing It' song. Sad, haunting, but beautiful song about aging and not being able to do what you once could.
He is missed, but his music lives on.R.i.p.
This song was created as a finger picking exercise by Kerry Livgren (the longer haired blonde guy). His wife Vicky heard him playing it and encouraged him to make it into a song. He brought it to the studio as they were completing the Point of Know Return album, and the rest of the band said 'yes' and recorded this. It became their highest charted song.
While Kerry is now a devout Christian, this song was written when he was still searching and exploring spiritual writings from many cultures. This one references some native American ideals.
Was going to post this but you beat me to it. Saw that in the Kansas documentary and was not surprised.
Read Ecclesiates in the Old Testament, "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, and a chase after dust in the wind"
@@threecedarshomestead1330 ^^
Kerry almost didn’t bring it to the band, because it was so different than the usual Kansas sound. And it turned out to be their biggest hit song.
“All your money won’t another minute buy”. Haunting. Such a classic song.
The song that taught us to play air-violin. Such a beautiful song that reminds us that nothing is permanent, including ourselves.
"Carry on Wayward Son" is my favorite. Their greatest hits album was my bible through some very dark years. Their music has an underlying theme of human resilience and finding your inner strengths. They are not a religious band per se, but, you have a great point. There are some spiritual connotations in their songs.
Love your reactions! Thank you for your channel and hard work you put into it. It is so exciting to see young people experiencing and loving the music I grew up with.
Incredible song
@@brucek5578indeed. It has a little of everything in it musicly and an amazing message.
My favorite too !
Kerry Livgren, who wrote this and many of their other songs is a Christian and that is evident in songs like The Wall and Child of Innocence.
@@reedebrown6006 for sure. I think "Fight Fire with Fire" also has spiritual undertones. It's such a great track too. That entire greatest hits album kept me from giving up through some very bad years.
So many great Kansas songs......their Leftoverture album is a masterpiece
Song for America is also a masterpiece
Thank you! I feel like Leftoverture gets too often overlooked in favor of Point of No Return
“For from dust ye came and to dust ye shall return.”
This is a perfect example of how rock isn’t all sex and drugs. There’s mastery of musicianship and instrumentation beyond electric guitars and beautifully crafted and expressed intellectual concepts that entire generations of very young people could grasp and love. This song may be atypical in some sense, but in the ways that matter most it shows just exactly what they’re made of deep down inside. You’re going to want to listen to Carry On Wayward Son, Point Of No Return and The Wanted Man. Much love ❤️
Kansas began life as a Prog rock band and gradually drifted a little bit between that and pop. A great band, one of the cornerstones of American Prog rock bands. The Leftoverture album is probably their best. Carry On My Wayward Son is the other big banger from them. You must have heard bits of that one in movies or on tv. Simply love this song. RIP Robby Steinhardt, the violinist. 🙏
Dust in the Wind was written by band member Kerry Livgren, first released on their 1977 album Point of Know Return. The song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of April 22, 1978, making it Kansas's only single to reach the top ten in the USA.
Carry on Wayward Son just missed the top ten peaking at 11, with two other top 20 songs in Play The Game Tonight at number 17 and All I ever Wanted at number 19. Kansas was an album band but it made their songs no less incredible!
Oh my… Kansas is a huge rabbit hole of greatness. The list of crazy great songs is staggering. Enjoy.
Yes!
Even their not-hits are amazing.
"carry on wayward son" is a MUST from kansas. and i highly recommend their official video version it is A BANGER!
lead vocalist steve walsh will amaze ❤
Yes! Do it tomorrow!
I grew up on grunge and gangster rap. In my 20s I became obsessed with rock from this era and Kansas was one of the main reasons. The show Supernatural came out and used their song Wayward Son as the theme song and introduced them to a whole new generation. They are incredible musicians and I hope you do checkout more💕
When I first watched Supernatural, I loved the classic car, the hot women, and the brother vibe. When they played Kansas, and Bob Seger, I knew I was a fan.
This song is an absolute masterpiece. So, it would be unfair to expect their other songs to be quite this amazing. But, they do have some excellent songs, so I recommend you continue to explore their catalog.
Their more proggy songs are just as amazing, but in a very different way.
Robbie was a classically trained violinist. Kerry ( the blond) 8:02 wrote the majority of their songs. So talented and would you believe they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
...yet.
If s song is not played at my funeral I’m not going!
Me too
Many great rock bands of the 70s and 80s have a signature ballad in their collection. This is one of the better ones.
One of those absolute all time classics.
I still remember when this came out when I was in high school in the late 70,s . Still sounds great!
A Timeless song about the brevity of life and how we should never take it for granted. Set to beautiful music. You're not in Kansas but Kansas is in us all.
"Point Of Know Return" is my go to Kansas song.
This song means so much to me. The message is humbling yet beautiful. One of the best songs.
The song was further immortalized in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” when Ted said to Socrates, “All we are is dust in the wind, dude.”
Highlander the series. When Tessa dies and Richie becomes immoral. They play this song
While "Carry on My Wayward Son" is perhaps their biggest hit, I always like "He Knew" which is actually in the same them as "Dust In The Wind" but just as good and just as captivating.
Portrait of a Man is criminally underrated song!
This is from an era that groups were actually musicians and wrote songs which are poetry put to music and actually wrote music that is timeless
Another 70's band that took me to new musical heights. I remember listening to this on the radio, and it was a departure from their "rock n' roll" tunes. Beautifully crafted and Steve Walsh killed the vocal. Saw them in 1977 with Boston, Eddie Money and Cheap Trick. Great show. And great reaction to a beautiful song.
Wow!!! One of the absolute GREATS!!! Kansas is an amazing group!! Killer harmony. 😊❤
From Genesis 3:19 "For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.” God condemning man after their fall from Grace. I believe this is where the inspiration for thiis song came. Great reaction.
I don't think so.
@@BigTimeRushFan2112 You're funny-you disagree yet provide no proof. Look up the bible verse, you will see where the concept comes from. Also Ecclesiastes 3:20. But I think you're a God hater, prove me wrong.
@@BigTimeRushFan2112 I disagree, back in the days when they were growing up, this Bible phrase was pretty popular. So I'm sure some inspiration came from this verse.
@@allisterfiend_2112 I'm 54, been listening to the band since I was a kid, and I've never seen the band ever say this song was about religion. ever.
@@genov9374 I stick with what the band meant by the song, not someone's religious interpretation. The band has never once said this song was about anything but how fragile life is compared to time.
This us a great song, there is nothing to hate about this song. Thank you for reacting to this.
Hi Guys, I went to college in Kansas, and oddly enough Kansas was one of my favorite bands. Along with Kansas, I love The Little River Band? They are an Australian group with amazing harmonies. Please give them a try. Cool Change, Lonesome loser and Reminiscing are a few of my favs.
Great work guys. I love your connection.
Some folks think that this song is sad, but I think that it is hauntingly beautiful.
This song was used to amazing effect after a death on the TV show Highlander... it never fails to make me stop and sing with it
There are two members who never left the group from the time the band started to use the name Kansas in 1973, Rich Williams guitarist and Phil Ehart drummer. Additional songs to check out are Carry On Wayward Son, prog sounds from the first album Journey from Mariabronn (live version from two for the show), Icarus-Borne on Wings of Steel, point of know return
"All your money, won't another minute buy."
Lyrics on par with Neil Peart.
One of MANY reasons why Rush & Kansas fight for my No. 1 band. Neil & Kerry wrote about things I could relate to, including the allegories through fantasy/sci-fi lyrics (though Kansas only had a just a few of those topics).
One of my all time favorites forever! So good.
Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas is an absolute prog rock classic that always feels fresh. You can't not be blown away by the melody. Such great energy, keyboards, guitars and vocals.
They sounded just like their albums live back in 1980. If you would like a total contrast, listen to "Lightning's Hand". It rocks!
Carry on wayward son was the big hit that’s in movies , tv shows , everywhere so you’ll probably recognize it, it’s 🔥
Love Kansas. So many layers to their music. Carry on Wayward Son is a must listen, and you have probably heard it at some point.
Oh yeah, Kansas was the real deal. for sure. Do a 180 now and listen to Carry On Wayward Son, their other major super hit. The official video is the one to watch. Thanks for sharing this. 🙂
Great reaction, Sam and Phil! Kansas is a band I really enjoyed in my youth. It's nice to see good music cross generations.
One of the all time great classics...Kansas has always been outstanding.
Heard this since it came out and still leaves me bawling. So beautiful and so true.
Quite simply one of the greatest rock bands ever! The width and breadth of their music is phenomenal. Check out their early stuff and for another easier listen try Lonely Wind
You're absolutely right about the Spiritual vibe of this song, as some of the lyrics come from the Bible's book of Ecclesiastes. Kerry Livgreen, the writer, later went on to do Christian music with solo albums and with a group called A.D.
This is icon music of a generation. So many have used this piece of music to explain humankind in all its irregularities and evils. You give this song the review it deserves. Thanks.
Dust In The Wind has a very special place in my heart, because I was in the Navy Boot Camp in Orlando when this song hit the top of the charts. The only time we got to listen to the radio was when the smoking lamp was lit. As a group everyone pitched in a dollar or two to purchase a radio from the Exchange so we could have music playing twice a day in the barracks. It seemed every time the smoking lamp was lit and the radio was turned on, Dust In The Wind would play on the radio.
Our generation has the best music sez me at age 71.
For me, this song was required listening in high school.
Seriously.
My sociology teacher made us sit and listen to it. And then try to explain what we made of the lyrics.
The album that had Steve Morse on guitar is a good one also. Silhouettes in Disguise is a killer electric guitar song.
Favorite band of all time. I was fortunate to meet them after one of their shows. Steve Walsh is so underrated as a singer. RIP Robbie. Go down the Kansas rabbit hole. You won’t regret it
Kansas is an incredible group live! Saw the in '82 right next to stage & I got to meet several of them. Robby (Jesus) never wore shoes when he performing.
Recomandation from a Kansas fan from Norway...
Carry og you wayword son , thats Kansas 🎼
You've probably heard their song carry on my wayward son, it's been everywhere and definitely worthy of the praise it got!
great reaction and song b&b guys. this is one of their largest mellow hits with the almost serene lyrics, harmonies, violins, and acoustic guitar melodies. my favorite though is "carry on my wayward sun"... enjoy! 😎
Great song.
If you ever get the chance to listen to their LEFTOVERTURE album it's a great album from start to finish. It is a concept album so every song is like a lead into the next. Starting with Carry On My Wayward Son
Well, I am from Kansas and if you are coming through, just before wheat harvest to me is the best time. Kansas, most of the members came from around the Topeka area I understand, and I was very proud that we had awesome musicians representing our state with their beautiful music.
I was stationed at Ft Riley in 1973 thru 75. I remember watching these guys in bars. They played in Manhattan and Lawrence KS, both near Ft Riley. One of the mostmemorable things to me is that they were the first group to use a violin as a pure rock a d roll band, there was nothing country about them.
Incorrect. A lot of British bands used violins (Hawkwind for rxample).
A huge hit and great song that I used to sing along with. They were mostly progressive rock and classic rock. Many fantastic tunes like Carry On Wayward Wind,Hold On, The Wall,
and Song of America, to name a few classics!
Whenever I hear this song it still brings me back to my teenage days.
Carry On Wayward Son is another great, if you are a fan of the show Supernatural you will automatically recognize this song as the main intro to every season. It is the official theme song of the show. I highly recommend it because it is such a great and timeless song.
Carry On My Wayward Son is one of the best and coolest BANGING rock songs ever composed.
Watch the official video first, then watch the INSANE live performance. It’s unbelievable.
What a beautiful song....made me cry a bit.
Song is absolutely timeless because it speaks TRUTH. We are all nothing but grains of sand on the largest beach in the world when put into universal perspective. So incredibly humbling and beautiful.
Kansas played in my city a few months ago, the drummer still rockin hard. As members left and were replaced over the years, their sound still remains the same with violin being very integral even in their hard rockin songs. A very unique band and sound. I recommend 'Wayward Son"
'You're My Boy Blue!'-Frank The Tank.
I saw them live in concert earlier this year as part of their 50th Anniversary tour. They were amazing! My favorite song of theirs is probably “The Wall.”
Drummer Phil Ehart and guitarist Rich Williams (on the right) are the only two original members still in the band. They are currently on their 50th anniversary tour and STILL sound phenomenal!
Kansas is one of my husband’s favorite bands, so I am very familiar with their music!🎶🎵. You should definitely do more, awesome music!🔥🔥🔥 ‘Carry on my Wayward Son’ and ‘Miracles Out of Nowhere’ are definitely great and there are others!!👍👍
Glad the suggestion was given to you!👏👏
Robby Steinhardt, (RIP, he died in July, 2021,) while a spectacular violinist, also had an amazing voice that harmonized perfectly with vocalist/keyboardist Steve Walsh. Shortly before he got ill and later died, Robby recorded a terrific solo album, "Not In Kansas Anymore / A Prog Opera," and while there were plans for a tour, it never came about. The album was released several months after his death. The members of Kansas were high school buddies, and there were several "versions" of Kansas before they recorded their first album. Kery Livgren (the blond guitarist,) isn't just a great guitarist, but an extremely talented keyboardist as well, because that allowed Kansas to switch back and forth between 2 guitar and 2 keyboards, within individual songs. Kansas was a pretty big band around the mid-west until they recorded the album "Leftoverture" with the incredible hit, "Carry On Wayward Sun" (which you've probably heard, without knowing it was Kansas.) Kansas toured as the opening act with Queen when Queen was at the top of their game, and by the time "Dust in the Wind" came out on their following album, "The Point of Know Return," Kansas became one of the biggest groups in the world, headlining stadium shows across the world. I noticed that you recently reviewed a song by Aerosmith, and there's a hilarious story from the Kansas documentary movie, "Miracles Out of Nowhere," where there were problems when Kansas was the opening act for an Aerosmith show in Kansas. If you listen to a few more songs by Kansas, be sure to check out the documentary!
Beautiful state, beautiful people, beautiful music!
One of the best concerts I have ever seen in Kansas!
Kassas is a great band. Bought so many albums of them.
From ashes to ashes, dust to dust. In live in Kansas, 1/2 hour drive to downtown Kansas City, and it's a quality place to live. Young people move away but most come back to raise their families. As you might have heard, we also have a pretty good football team. Two days until Super Bowl XVIII, we're pretty stoked. A huge sports town, known for great BBQ and steaks, home of the WWI monument and the Negro Baseball League museum. Colorful past with a progressive future.
I'll start by saying ,I can't believe you've never heard this song.🤪 This is one of their more mellow songs.. They are my favorite band. I've seen them 6 times , Twice front row & will be seeing their 50th anniversary show in November.🤗 The band has incredible song writing a lot rooted in christian faith. And they are all incredible musicians..🎶🎙🎸🎹🎻🥁🎶 Carry on wayward son is their most popular song..👍 But they have loads of incredible songs.. Enjoy your future journey into Kansas🤗
Kansas had a bit of a resergence in the 2000's thanks to their hit Carry on My Wayward Son which is the unofficial theme for the TV Series Supernatural, they even opened for the show's Comic Con pannel a while back. As for Dust in the Wind it served as Highlander: The Series' version of the film's Who wants to Live Forever and is where I first heard the song.
An American treasure. They are equal parts rock, prog, and symphonic. They were killing it in the 70s. Kind of lost their way untill recently. If you want to see superb musicianship in action... go see them.
This great song is about the relativeness of our existence. We are nothing compared to time and space. We like to think we are important and the crown of creation, but in reality we are no big deal.
Kansas is seriously completed and simple . They rock, try Carry on my wayward son.
Memories! I was nicknamed where I worked as a sander “Dusty” I use to waterski lot when this song came out. So when I skied we would put this song on. Dust in the wind. Funny! God is Good!
They are known for Carry on my Wayward Son this song was their highest charting song. My mother who is 80 years young wants this song at her funeral. She loves this song.
Steve Walsh. The finest vocalist to ever grace the rock genre (and any sub- genre you want to put them in). He is, was, and always will be the best.
This is probably my favorite Kansas song, however, "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Point Of No Return" were their biggest sellers during the 70's, they changed their sound in the 80's, particularly with a seriously underrated song in 1980 "Hold On", you should check out "Kansas - Hold On (with lyrics)" Powerful song and lyrics. Even if you don't do a reaction video, you should still check it out, you won't regret it. Anyway, loved the review, love you guys, take care and stay safe ❤️
Try bringing it home off their first album.
"Carry On Wayward Son" is Awesome and the way to go next !
One of my favorite songs of all time. Great band. A lot of rockers & guys in general looked like "Jesus" in the 70's.
Born and raised in Kansas and got to see them in the early 70s in college so yeah...progressive rock and talented group of guys. They are still performing today with more members. We are only a speck in the grand scheme of the universe...but we still matter. And they are from Kansas. And of course, Kansas is known for being windy too.
My all time favorite band.
This is an amazing song from Kansas 😊
Kerry Livgren, the member with long straight blond hair, wrote this song which is about his search for spirituality and later converted to Christianity, which influenced his subsequent work.
One of the most prolific lyrics in music, " And all your money won't a minute buy"! When your time is up it's up!!!
And all your money wont another miute buy! Love that verse.
Just as Chicago is from Chicago. But the boys in Kansas were from about 30 minutes from me, and in fact when I was a freshman at college, my roommate, who was a senior, was from Topeka Kansas, and he actually knew those guys because he himself was a musician. And in fact he was majoring in music and he had this incredible killer stereo system, and it Incorporated some of Kansas' hand-me-down band equipment. It was loud, lol.
Saw them live in concert back in the late seventies a couple times and they're just an amazing band. You've got to check out more of their catalog; they had a ton of hits.
Carry On Wayward Son is probably the one you're most likely to have heard in passing, and Point of No Return is another banger and a great saga.
Saw them at the Boston Garden back in the early 80's. They were incredible. Awesome band.
Not only was Kerry Livgren usually the lead singer, although several members of the band were amazing vocalists, but sometimes he would perform just standing in front of the mic at the front of the stage and then right next to him he had a piano with another vocal mic above it, and then if he pivoted the other way he had a percussion set-up, and he would just effortlessly move between them in the middle of even a hard banging song.
Robby Steinhardt would sometimes play the violin, and sometimes he would concentrate on backing vocals but always be playing a tambourine or something like that, and he was really good at getting the crowd hyped up.
Another fantastic song by them which was a big hit He Knew, and it's written to where it could be about just about anything and it would be cool, and it's easy to think it might be talking about Jesus, but in fact it's actually written about Leonardo da Vinci!
I was at a Christian coffee house in the early-mid ‘70 featuring Phil Keaggy who lived in Kansas City Mo. at the time and during the intermission he brought to the “stage” a couple of young men who he introduced as his church’s house band and themselves as “Kansas “…
If you are familiar with the book of Ecclesiastes I am pretty sure you will find a very similar theme to life….
Should do: Miracles of out Nowhere and The Wall -- both so emotional
The Kansas song Carry On Wayward Son is the song that made me want to sing for a living.... Would definitely be the next on the list.... Progressive Rock.... American progressive Rock art is finest.... One of the best live bands I've ever scene.
All your money won't another minute buy.. No truer words.. Haunting and beautiful.
RIP Robby Steinhardt - I hope you're jammin' with that violin in heaven. Thanks for introducing the violin to rock.
