Life is but a moment in time to give thanks in. Kansas nailed this song from the moment Steve opened his mouth and with Robbie's soulful violin, a timeless classic.
@@zenoblevinsbigz6665 Well he hit the nail on the head with Dust in the Wind. I've worked in my area for decades, have seen much of my hard, tedious, perfectionist work destroyed by 'progress'. And Adam was created out of dust so we KNOW we are going back to it.

@@zenoblevinsbigz6665 his wife should get credit for this song. It was originally a finger picking exercise that Kerry did but his wife told him he needed to make a song out of it. We all owe her our thanks.
This is honestly my favorite song of theirs! It's so hauntingly beautiful and the lyrics are VERY deep. It's one of those songs I could understand being played at someone's funeral. My next favorite song of theirs would definitely be "Carry On Wayward Son", and I highly recommend you listen it too! It's faster-paced than this one and has some very intense guitar parts and the harmonies are VERY tight! (Plus, it's the unofficial anthem to my favorite show, but I honestly loved the song well before Supernatural even came out, so yeah, definitely give it a listen.)
This song and Pink Floyd's "Time" ought to be required listening for everyone on earth. To many people out there have absolutely zero comprehension of how fleeting life is until it's way to late.
I've had 4 heart attacks and a minor stroke. This song is so true and powerful. Believe it or not I was one of the many people who took life for granted, even after the first heart attack. After the second heart attack (it was a really bad one) I was at home recovering and listening to all my old records, tapes, cd's and I came across this song. It made me think a little bit before I had any heart attacks but it really hit me hard after the second heart attack. People, please don't take life for granted, yours or others. We have so little time on this earth and we don't realize it. Now I try to live my life doing things that I want and enjoying my family and friends. I treat EVERYONE with respect and try to encourage them to make the best decisions and live a better life. I didn't make the best decisions in my younger years and it caught up to me. Anyway this is one of the truest songs ever written. Kansas knocked out of the park with it.
Thank you for having the open heart to take on the music 🎶 of another generation. Most of us dismiss what we don't know. These were some of my favorites too.
I just discovered your channel tonight (Bohemian Rhapsody), and have binged for about 2 or more hours. Great stuff. Not only get to hear amazing music, but watching you react is so satisfying. I think it’s the mirror neurons in our brains that allow us to feel empathy with others. Watching your amazement allows me to experience the songs anew. Love it!! I would love to see you do a video on Jeff Buckley - either Hallelujah or Mojo Pin. His version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is the best one done, IMO. Thanks for your work and beautiful spirit
Ive been watching your videos for so long that when I hear the phrase "You know what time it is" I automatically think of this channel. You got your own catchphrase
Portrait (He Knew), The Wall, No One Together, Play the Game Tonight, Hang On, What's On My Mind, Carry On Wayward Son, Can I Tell You, Miracles Out of Nowhere, Point of Know Return, their list goes on and on. I love Kansas!!!!!
I've always understood this song as a meditation in 3 parts. Part 1: Despair. "Same old song...". Nothing matters, what's the point? Part 2: Lamentation. The violin represents weeping, someone crying at the futility of life and how death awaits us all. Part 3: Catharsis. "Don't hang on..." Yes, the same fate awaits us all, but that makes what we do NOW even more important. Be good, be kind. Don't get caught up in the trappings of life like material things. They all crumble to dust just like us. This song is so beautiful and timeless. Many have commented on how short it is but that is also part of its message. Life is short. I'm 50 and I've listened to this songs hundreds of times over the years and it still rings true and brings tears to my eyes. That is rare in this life. How ironic that a song about nothing lasting can be so enduring?
This song is so beautiful. If you are feeling sad, stressed, listen this song and then you can feel so relaxed, happy, all your pains are gone. Close your eyes and pay attention to each instrument, feel the sound. Let yourself be carried away by the sound of the music and then you will feel immense peace and great happiness
Psalm 103:14 For He knows our form; He remembers that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more. (MKJV)
Soooo iconic.....Yes, Carry on my Wayward Son is another great, iconic, tune. Somebody help me. Which live performance video of COMWS is it where the lead singer is wearing short sports shorts? That's the clip! You can see his prodigious energy during this concert clip!
I saw a special about them and the guy who wrote it said it was a finger exercise for the guitar and his wife told him he should make a song with it.i believe it became their biggest hit!
The story Kerry Livgren (the guitarist in this video) tells in his book is that one day he was just playing around with finger picking exercises. His wife comes in and says that sounds really nice, it should be a song. Writing the lyrics was almost a stream of consciousness thing, just based on what he'd been thinking about lately. One of their biggest songs was pretty much an accident.
What a fantastic voice the lead singer has, and the harmonies are so good as for the instrumentals they are so beautiful. An all round haunting song that is so easy to listen to, I have never heard them before but like you Jayvee I would like to hear more of this wonderful band. You have to feel that you have heard more so you can give us a real impression of what they can do, I admire you for sharing that, many wouldn't think that let alone say it, honest statements are well worth listening too young man, thank you. Take care and stay safe please my friend, love and hugs to you all Mary-Ellen UK
Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son - Live version. Another fantastic live performance that you need to check out is Angry Eyes by Loggins and Messina. You will not regret listening to it. Loggins and Messina were a great group who were superb musicians and were able to sound exactly like the studio versions in concert. Another 70's band to add to your list.
Dstin in the wind was used on Highlander the series, and the next one you'll react to is Carry On My Waywould Son, was the unofficial theme to the TV series Supernatural. 20 yrs apart, yet both iconic series, linked by Kansas.

Love this song!!..For my dad whose been gone near 30yrs now..He loved this song..I do my best to sing in his memory when I go to any open bar..RIP Dad!..Thanks again Jayvee for posting this in your reaction vids!
this band has so many good songs that i don't know where to begin. i suggest checking out either " what's on my mind" or" carry on wayward son", you'll love either one.
From the guitar opening to the violin solo and great vocals, this song is perfect. Takes me back to high school. This song is a quiet one, but they could really kick ass in concert.
I like that arpeggio he does on the violin. On South Park Randy Marsh plays some Kansas, 'Carry on Wayward Son' (: Time for some more Disturbed! Droppin Plates, Meaning of Life !
I saw Kansas at the Superbowl of Rock at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando in...78? It was a battle of the bands, three bands a day for 3 days for $9 a day! (They were called Lo-Dough shows.)
If you go from this to the rocking Carry On Wayward Son you will hear the versatility that is Kansas. And then there's also The Point Of No Return. Also a highly recommended listen that falls somewhere in between the two.
Such a great song and great memories. This was among the first rock songs I ever listened to. Up until then I had been a "country boy" since that's all my folks listened to. I was introduced to it on the school bus I rode, because my driver was an independent contractor and had a nice jam system on her bus. She used it to control the unruly students..."Do you want to listen to music or NOT!" LOL, she had everyone wrapped and behaving like they should.
I don't know how I missed this fabulous song 😓. This is one of my favorites of all time. Gonna have it played as my ashes are thrown into the wind 💗🕊️. Absolutely one of the best songs written 🙏
JV, have I missed it or have you not yet reacted to Earth, wind & fire? You love these big instrument groups like Chicago. EWF is the pinnacle. I don't even care which one you choose. You can't go wrong. Phillip Bailey has a four octave range and incredible vocal control. Perhaps do a live one from Live in Rio.
This is called progressive rock and Kansas was one of the best at it. Their other songs rock more, but this one is a classic and will be forever. Try Song for America, a 10-minute title track from their second album. Fabulous!!
One of the only bands in which one of the main instruments was a violin, played by a huge guy with a beard that looked like one of those guys in Deliverance. In fact all the band members kind of looked like football players. They were one of the few bands whose concert performances lived up to their album recordings. Despite sometimes being over indulgent (what '70's progressive rock bands were not?), in their prime they were among the best bands out there, and one of the the only successful American progressive bands of their era.
I love that song when it first came out. I love it so much that I love singing it at Karaoke nights. I also pretend that I’m playing the violin. An instrument I would have learned to play. Enjoy the music it’s my time music.
So captivating, eh, J? If you had only been caught up for a few more seconds you would have heard it plumb to the end! Captivated me for years... still does, pure truth.
Found it! Ha! Knew you’d like that tune/harmony. There’s something special about it. I’m no Kansas fan but I’ve heard this one and it just speaks to the soul.
Back in the day when this was hot for some reason Kansas NEVER played in Nebraska. I lived there so a buddy and I had to go to Red Rocks (Colorado/God's Cathedral). Very well worth the trip and a nice ride on a couple of Harleys with our girls. I've seen them since then with the new band members in Reno (Harrah's outdoor venue) Still killin' it. I still have this LP./Album.
Kansas is ??? What we used to call Meditation music, and is the kind of music that will take you places, if you cared to listen to it in a darkened room. If you really wanna hear some of their straight ahead, faster paced, hard driving music, then go back and listen to their 2nd and 3rd album. ( Song For America.) Or ( Masque.) " Child Of Innocence." Is one you'll like, or ( The Devil Game.) 2nd song on side 1. Of ( Song For America.) " Incomudro Hymn To The Atman." They always saved as their encore tune that left most LIVE audiences, stunned and breathless.
Kansas had a lot of good songs, and they were indeed capable of a more hard rock sound. Other songs you should check out are "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Point of Know Return".
The masters of prog rock. And this song only touches on their talent. The depth of their lyrics is fascinating and the instruments are like a small orchestra thrown into a rock band. Then there's the harmony and Kerry's voice. Choose ANYTHING from albums *Point Of No Return* or *LeftOverture* This is their acoustic beauty. But never fear; they do kick ass.
The band from my birth state! Got to see them early 1970s at college, was a real treat! Steinhardt had more hair than anyone I'd ever seen prior to the 1980s, LOL

Robby Steinhardt, who played violin for Kansas, passed away in July. Rest In Peace Robby
I remember hearing this for years growing up. My grandfather had it on 8-track tape, one of the mix tapes my uncle made for him. My grandmother used to say she wanted this song played at her funeral. Sadly she and my sister are not speaking to me, and the rest of the family is either already deceased or is also out of touch with all of us. So it is up to my sister to remember this as a solo enterprise.
Check out Miracles Out Of Nowhere and Song For America. These guys have alot of instrumentation on their songs. They were big in the 70's. Great Reaction!😎🎸❤️👍
You have just heard one of the FINEST songs ever recorded. Period.
I love this song but Lonely Wind is my absolute favorite EVER.
Amen !!
My favorite song ever!! So simple and haunting
All your money won't another minute buy.
Boy I was sure blessed to be able to grow up with great music...
Life is but a moment in time to give thanks in. Kansas nailed this song from the moment Steve opened his mouth and with Robbie's soulful violin, a timeless classic.

Point of Know Return is good as well
@@TheCanuck1962 So is "Sparks of the Tempest" from the same album. I swear, it is prophetic.
Carry On Wayward Son is my favorite Kansas song, but this one holds a close second.
Plus with Carry On, if you then wanted to check out a band to make you say WTF you could check out GWAR’s cover of it. 😜
Love that song!
The most haunting song ever produced. Scared the heck out of me when I was a kid in the 70s. Not scared now though. Thank you Jesus for waking me up.

"Carry on Wayward Son" and "Point of Know Return" are faster rock songs by Kansas.
Point of no return absolutely. I almost forgot about that one.
This song had more impact on my life than any other song in my life. This song correlates with life situations at the time.
Love this song. It's at the top of my "to be played at my funeral" playlist.

It's refreshing to hear your point of view on these classics! Melody and harmony are not too common these days.
Steve Walsh, one of the most overlooked singers, in rock history. A great voice.

Guitar on Wayward Son is justifiably famous. Great drum. Well orchestrated keyboard and piano. And those harmonies!!!
One of the most haunting songs I’ve ever heard. The melody matches the lyrics. You called it chill? I called it chilling and deep.
Another great song from my youth! Learned to play the guitar intro. Wish I could still play it!
One of the most beautiful melodies ever written!
This song is so beautiful. If you are feeling sad, stressed, listen this song and then you can feel so relaxed, happy, all your pains are gone. Close your eyes and pay attention to each instrument, feel the sound. Let yourself be carried away by the sound of the music and then you will feel immense peace and great happiness
Born and raised in small town Kansas...wouldnt want to be anywhere else! Saw these guys in concert in 1990 when I was 16!
Beautiful song, one of my favs. Great vocals, acoustically perfect, thank you.

40 years later and it still is relevant and hauntingly beautiful
Kansas has a lot of great music. Anything off of the Masque album is awesome.
Great legendary tune. Besides the other big hits that will be recommended try this one and you will love it, The Wall!
I love that song when it first came out. I love it so much that I love singing it at Karaoke nights. I also pretend that I’m playing the violin. An instrument I would have learned to play. Enjoy the music it’s my time music.
A Song of TRUTH
Amazing Grace and Dust in the wind...most played songs at funerals.
So captivating, eh, J? If you had only been caught up for a few more seconds you would have heard it plumb to the end! Captivated me for years... still does, pure truth.
Carry On my wayward son
Lead singer Steve Walsh.
One of the best in the history of popular music!
Also "People Of The South Wind" very rocking!
Found it! Ha! Knew you’d like that tune/harmony. There’s something special about it. I’m no Kansas fan but I’ve heard this one and it just speaks to the soul.

That's is very good music. The vocals & The lírics. Fantástic. This song was a huge hit en 1977 and 1978
I have all these songs on my playlist. Great song!
when the bar for success was much higher
check out Queen "Who Wants to Live Forever". It was written as part of the soundtrack to the original Highlander movie.
One of my favorite songs, beautiful melody 👏👏
Check out "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Sparks of the Tempest" Both are excellent; Sparks of the Tempest is prophetic.
Kansas is ??? What we used to call Meditation music, and is the kind of music that will take you places, if you cared to listen to it in a darkened room.
If you really wanna hear some of their straight ahead, faster paced, hard driving music, then go back and listen to their 2nd and 3rd album. ( Song For America.)
Or ( Masque.) " Child Of Innocence." Is one you'll like, or ( The Devil Game.) 2nd song on side 1. Of ( Song For America.)
" Incomudro Hymn To The Atman." They always saved as their encore tune that left most LIVE audiences, stunned and breathless.
Definitely check out Carry on my Wayward son . The TV show Supernatural adopted it for their theme song which gained it millions of new fans.
Jayvee. I love that song also. Heard it about 1,000 times. :-) How about that 70's hair. ha, ha
"Carry On Wayward Son" is a great one Jay. Give your ears a treat....
Thank you! I loved it.😃👍🌼✌️
Kansas had a lot of good songs, and they were indeed capable of a more hard rock sound. Other songs you should check out are "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Point of Know Return".

I remember hearing this for years growing up. My grandfather had it on 8-track tape, one of the mix tapes my uncle made for him. My grandmother used to say she wanted this song played at her funeral. Sadly she and my sister are not speaking to me, and the rest of the family is either already deceased or is also out of touch with all of us. So it is up to my sister to remember this as a solo enterprise.
Check out Miracles Out Of Nowhere and Song For America. These guys have alot of instrumentation on their songs. They were big in the 70's. Great Reaction!😎🎸❤️👍
