I was 12 then and i always loved this song. It hits me a lot differently now than it did then. It makes you think about how precious time and life is. And not waste a second worrying about things that don`t matter.
I attended a small Catholic High School back in the 80s, and during church at school, they often played this song…a reminder to be grateful for the time we have on earth, the people we love, and that money cannot buy you another minute in time…always brings a tear to my eye.
Personal Trivia Our former 12 string guitarist Harold Hooper "Hoop" was a guitar tech for Kansas in the 80s. He was a fine guitarist and also taught guitar most of his life. I miss you Hoop, my friend. RIP Brother.
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see…nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky, and all your money won’t another minute buy…some of the best lyrics ever…
All the material wealth we strive for means nothing in the end. Only the love we show to others has meaning. That will outlast us by sending love forth to the next generation. Because in too short a time, we will be dust.
Don’t hold on too tightly to things. Experience every moment because once it’s gone, it’s gone. Love one another and humanity. Don’t let THEM divide us! ❤️
I think both of you have the right interpretation of the song's meaning. Life is short and at the end of it all we dissolve into cosmic matter. Dust In The Wind...1.o0
Kansas was a great band very instrumental. They have a song called “He knew (portrait”)is what it’s called is really good song. I was fortunate enough to see them I think three times in the late 70s early 80s I don’t really remember anymore. Keep up the good work, Guys!
Gorgeous couple. Thank you two for letting us watch your journey into something different, and I hope you learn to enjoy this new world of music as much as I did growing up with it.
I think this song is about life and how we should apreciate it tomorrow is never guaranteed and to live life rhe best way you can. As the song states " and all your money won't another minute buy"
Every year my church has a service 40 days before Easter. It is called Ash Wednesday. The pastor puts dust in every persons forehead. Telling each of us. You are dust. And to dust you shall return. Shante nailed it that way. We will not be on this earth for that long. This song speaks to the mortality of humanity.
Such a deep message riding on a soft and beautiful melody. Dust in the wind. It's just so easy for us to lose track of what's important in life in the pressure, hurry, and dramas that go on every day. Money can feed you and put a roof over your head. So lack of money can make you miserable. But after you have enough to be a little comfortable, it won't make you happy. It won't buy time. It sure won't buy truth, friendship, or purpose. This is a good song to reflect on. Thank you.
Kerry Livgren wrote this song about how insignificant we really are . He and Dave Hope became Christians and left the band . Dave Hope became an Anglican pastor. Kerry went on to form 2 Christian bands Proto Caw and AD. I highly recommend you watch what I feel like was Ads best song The Fury. Very hard hitting but powerful message.
That was not Robbie Williams playing the violin. That was Robby Steinhardt, who Died July 17, 2021. Robbie Williams is a english singer who is still alive.
You guys do the best reviews, love your take in the songs and big .. thank you for letting it play all the way and not stopping it. When it’s stopped and interjections happen I tend to loose my place in the story. You guys rock 👏🏻👍🏻
To me this song takes everyone down a peg or two. We are "just a drop of water in an endless sea" and "all we are is dust in the wind". And even if you are rich, "and all your money won't another minute buy". It seems to say that "you ain't all that" so don't be gettin' all high and mighty because regardless of who you are, you're still just dust in the wind.
We're all dust in the wind. Let us love and respect all of our brothers and sisters on the planet and Mother Earth as well as long as we continue to draw breath. Love, not hate. Peace, not war. The message remains the same one we "hippies" of the 70s embraced. Love is the only answer. We are ALL the same, and we share this beautiful planet and long for peace. May it come with the present dawning of the age of Aquarius.
This was never intended to be a song. From an interview with Kerry Livgren, the guitarist and lyricist (on the left in the video): It actually has a really interesting, almost humorous history, which is in such contrast to what the song’s about, but it actually, I was trying to improve my skills as an acoustic guitarist. I’ve always been an electric player. And I came up with this, uh, finger exercise, which was basically Dust in the Wind. I was sitting in my music room practicing and my wife kept walking by the room and she’d stick her head in the door and she’d go “You’d better do something with that”. And I said “Honey, this is just an exercise. This is not going anywhere. You know, this is just something to improve my skill.” And she kept bugging me and finally she said “Put some words to that, sing a melody, because I’m telling you, you really got something there.” So I happened to be reading a book of Native American poetry, and I don’t remember which one it was, but it, there was a particular poem I was reading that was alluding to the fact that, you know, our life here, our physical life, is just this brief thing, and also the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, it says all is vanity, and uh, for some reason that just seemed to go with that melodic line. So I threw it together, literally threw it together, and again came in the last day of rehearsal, and the guys were all there. And you know Kansas is this big, progressive, heavy, rocking band, and I walk in with this acoustic guitar and say “OK, Vicky says, you know my wife says I need to play this for you guys.” And so I sit down and I played the song for them on the acoustic guitar, and I sang it, which if anything was going to kill the song, that would do it, and I looked up when I was done and the guys were all, just kind of had this blank look on their faces and they said “Where has that been?” I said, “What do you mean? You liked that thing?” And they said “Absolutely - we gotta do this.” And I literally wrote the string arrangement in a motel room down the road from the studio, ‘cause I was trying to figure a way to include the violin in the song, and we were doing a session that afternoon, and I just wrote the string lines in a motel room in Nashville.
Its really a reality check. The instruments were vocal because of it's perfect timing. Even my mom who was a Catholic loved this song. We all know the body breaks down to dust. However, according to her faith, her spirit is in heaven not the body. Still, regardless of what one thinks of the afterlife, we all know the body breaks down and returns to the earth.
Hey there welcome to the radio of my youth. This what was on the radio while you drove your girl home in second gear, waiting a little longer at stop signs . just to have her in your car just a few minutes longer!
What's great about this song is, no matter your culture, color or religious belief.., it moves something inside you and makes you realize the harsh truth about life. We are all just waiting to become a memory. A short time to most and maybe into the next generation by our immediate family. In the big picture of humanity though, we are all waiting to be forgotten.
Have y'all reacted to the great guitars Joe Bonnarassa with singer Beth Hart " I'll take care of you "? If not please do , you will not regret it I promise 🔥🔥
The song is saying ...No matter what we do, or who we are,how much money you may have, or even any of our great monuments we build everything and i mean everything will eventually break down, erode, decay over time and become dust in the wind
People, my lovely hearted friends, this is about nothing, not one single penny can stop the hands of time. Live your best life, because today could be any of our last day. There's no time for pain, hate, "FEAR" this is the big and ugly one right here!!Fear is among the worst of all emotions. Fear stops us from taking that leap of faith and finding what might be the life changing gift of your life. Fear keeps us in what's familiar and safe. If we never pull our roots up from the ground, I promise your life will always be the same, routine day in and day out..😢 Fear has robbed me of so many dreams, I fulfilled some of those dreams, but what I was gifted to do, was in my mind only a pipe dream. Growing up around negativity, not necessarily within my home, but when those o chose to be around, low self esteem, no pride, or confidence in my ability to be more than what my self worth was. Dust in the Wind, here today, gone tomorrow, make your mark, enjoy the ride. Love you two beautiful people! You have great words of wisdom and insight, and I for one love it!!!❤❤❤
I believe this is saying don't get caught up with the small stuff and make the time you have the best for everyone since that is our fingerprint of what we accomplish. Time is too short to be a jerk
The Bible states dust to dust as the human life cycle. We end up as dust and part of the earth on which we are born. As this song says “All your money won’t another minute buy.” We are all on an equal footing when death comes for us.
O MOVING FORM OF DUST! I desire communion with thee, but thou wouldst put no trust in Me. The sword of thy rebellion hath felled the tree of thy hope. At all times I am near unto thee, but thou art ever far from Me. Imperishable glory I have chosen for thee, yet boundless shame thou hast chosen for thyself. While there is yet time, return, and lose not thy chance. Bahá’u’lláh
This song shows us how foolish it is to be greedy and materialistic as a mortal. No matter how much wealth we achieve or how many skyscrapers we build, when our time is up, all our money wont another minute buy. At the end of the game, both the king and the pawn go back into the same box.
It’s basically a song about your mortality, and that nothing lasts forever. Everything on this earth that’s lived , will eventually die and decompose back into the earth from which it came ashes to ashes and dust to dust, and it don’t matter how much money you have. If you noticed the last line of the song in the final verse, says all your money won’t another minute buy…when your time is up, no matter how rich you are, you can’t cheat death
I'm 63! When this song came out I was only 18! To say that "time flies by way too fast", is an understatement!!!!!
It sure does!!
No doubt, Greg .I will be 65 in a week and it's gone by fast , and it continues to go even faster ..
Yup I was 16
I'm 64. I know what you mean. Another song that sums that up really well is 'Time' by Pink Floyd.
I was 12 then and i always loved this song. It hits me a lot differently now than it did then. It makes you think about how precious time and life is. And not waste a second worrying about things that don`t matter.
I attended a small Catholic High School back in the 80s, and during church at school, they often played this song…a reminder to be grateful for the time we have on earth, the people we love, and that money cannot buy you another minute in time…always brings a tear to my eye.

Thank you for not interrupting the song and allowing it to play all the way through...
I love how a band can go from a heavy song like carry on my wayward son to an absolute classic like this one, beautiful song
IMO the most famous band that did this was KISS with Beth. I think it was their #2 hit.
@@jakerazmataz852 Beth was a beautiful song
I feel the same way about Black Sabbath's "Changes."
@@ZEPnALE good song
First-time I heard this song I instantly fell into a trance. Questioning life on a spiritual level.
Wow that's deep
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see…nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky, and all your money won’t another minute buy…some of the best lyrics ever…

Don’t hold on too tightly to things. Experience every moment because once it’s gone, it’s gone. Love one another and humanity. Don’t let THEM divide us! ❤️
We love that!!
I love the first impression, spot on. Another great song from Kansas is "Carry on Wayward Son". A great song to react to.
I think both of you have the right interpretation of the song's meaning. Life is short and at the end of it all we dissolve into cosmic matter. Dust In The Wind...1.o0
It's the right song to humble a person. Nice reaction. New subscriber.
Thanks for subbing!

Such a classic song. This just takes me away. Kansas was & is a very talented band full of great musicians
Gorgeous couple. Thank you two for letting us watch your journey into something different, and I hope you learn to enjoy this new world of music as much as I did growing up with it.
Thanks for watching, very much appreciated.
I think this song is about life and how we should apreciate it tomorrow is never guaranteed and to live life rhe best way you can. As the song states " and all your money won't another minute buy"

Your first impression was correct regarding the biblical references. When he says the word "we" he's not just talking about the band, but all people.
Cool
This song ALWAYS and still does, mesmerizes me! I can zone out listening to this. Great reaction Guys!!!!! You are growing everyday! keep it up!
He's saying, not to hold on to the things of this world,one day we're here, next day we're not, all we are is dust in the wind
Awesome song! The Awesome Violinist is Robby Steinhardt. Sadly, he died July 17, 2021. RIP Robby!
Kerry Livgren wrote this song about how insignificant we really are . He and Dave Hope became Christians and left the band . Dave Hope became an Anglican pastor.

May the guy on the violin Robbie Williams RIP!
That was not Robbie Williams playing the violin. That was Robby Steinhardt, who Died July 17, 2021. Robbie Williams is a english singer who is still alive.
Great band - this was one of their biggest hits but don't sleep on them not being able to rock it out! #heknew
Another song in the same vein is the Alan Parsons Project-Time-both Dust In The wind and Time have been played at funerals.
Oh ok didnt know that
You guys do the best reviews, love your take in the songs and big .. thank you for letting it play all the way and not stopping it. When it’s stopped and interjections happen I tend to loose my place in the story.
You guys rock 👏🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much!

Most talented caveman violin player ever.
This is basically the Book of Ecclesiastes in a nutshell. One of the most beautiful songs of all time! ❤

saw Kansas 77 Cobo Hall Detroit great concert👍👍
Carry On Wayward Son should be your next reaction to Kansas. An awesome band.
Livgren Genius
Love you two!😊
That's how 🤔 we were created 🙏☝️
Its really a reality check. The instruments were vocal because of it's perfect timing. Even my mom who was a Catholic loved this song. We all know the body breaks down to dust.

I can't agree more.

😂😂😂
react to ...EAGLES...take it to the limit..live version
It is a great song that can open your eyes
Yes!
allteous!
What's great about this song is, no matter your culture, color or religious belief.., it moves something inside you and makes you realize the harsh truth about life. We are all just waiting to become a memory. A short time to most and maybe into the next generation by our immediate family. In the big picture of humanity though, we are all waiting to be forgotten.
It means to cherish your time and Love ❤ God and family,cause were not here for long
"And all your money won't another minute buy!"
You just can't help but play air-violin to this. It's a song for the ages.
That is talent!
Yes
Have y'all reacted to the great guitars Joe Bonnarassa with singer Beth Hart " I'll take care of you "? If not please do , you will not regret it I promise 🔥🔥
Hi B&S., Another very Good Song.. Whom is choosing these Songs for U ??
Interpreting , no such interpertating.. ♠W.G.
Ok
The song is saying ...No matter what we do, or who we are,how much money you may have, or even any of our great monuments we build everything and i mean everything will eventually break down, erode, decay over time and become dust in the wind

A song you would like is The Black Crowes Sometimes Salvation VEVO video 🤬🔥🤓
Check out Fight Fire With Fire by Kansas too. Great song and video.
Great song
Thank you
This video / song reminds me of the music video / song "Everything Dies" by Type O Negative. Maybe you two might react to that video?
I believe this is saying don't get caught up with the small stuff and make the time you have the best for everyone since that is our fingerprint of what we accomplish. Time is too short to be a jerk
I agree on Candice
The Bible states dust to dust as the human life cycle. We end up as dust and part of the earth on which we are born. As this song says “All your money won’t another minute buy.” We are all on an equal footing when death comes for us.
Thank yall'! Your reactions were very secere! Please do me a fav & find Katt Kerr shes been on the other side of death! Shes on RUclips! Thank you!
YOU KNOW THEY WERE JUST TUNEING UP AND ONE OF THE BANDMATES MOM SAID WHY DONT YOUS MAKE A SONG OUT OF THAT SOUND -SO DUST IN THE WIND WAS BORN
That’s cool
Two become one. Official video by the spice girls
She is a deep thinker, hold on to her.
Thank you!

2 of the band members were on a search for God at that time. They found Jesus later after much searching.
Kerry Livgren wrote most of their songs, and he has a Christian background that influenced much of what he wrote.
Apache by the sugar hill gang, latch by Sam Smith, Let me clear my throat,
PETRA IS A GREAT CHRISTIAN ✝️ BAND
I can see that.
The amazing thing is this song was created by a finger picking exercise that Kerry was doing at home. His wife liked it and he made it into this song.
Wow that’s cool
Girl, you so get it, please understand how much your expressions let us all know. No offense to the guy, just a different vibe.
This song shows us how foolish it is to be greedy and materialistic as a mortal. No matter how much wealth we achieve or how many skyscrapers we build, when our time is up, all our money wont another minute buy. At the end of the game, both the king and the pawn go back into the same box.
