    This song ain't depressing, it's liberating. It reminds us, our impermanence isn't a curse, it's a call to live every moment like a precious jewel, sparkling in the sunlight before it fades.

      Yes. I was diagnosed with cancer three years ago. I’m okay now. It changed me. I gave up what I was. Stuck and lonely. Lost. Now, I surrender. We are all on borrowed time. Every hug, kiss, day and night, make them count. A freedom that I never understood before. The clearing at the end of the path comes to us all and the Dark Goddess will take your hand. Go well and blessed be. ❤

      it's really the best song ever, if you include both music and lyrics.
      In contrast other songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Smoke on the water, Billy Jean, We Will Rock you or Stairway to Heaven are musically great but their lyrics are a bit silly, and not as great as those here. My runner up after Dust in the Wind is Imagine from Lennon.

    This song reminds me of how short life is, I'm 75 now and still working as a master craftsman, restoring old buildings. I'm using tools that I have had for 60 years and some tools that my father gave me which are over 100 years old. The tools look like they were made yesterday, I look like I was made 75 years ago. This alone brings home to me my own mortality and how fleeting everything is. I still have a metal milk saucepan that wife and I won at a raffle, it is still new looking after 50 years of use. My wife has now gone to beyond the sunset, and I am still here with all the memories. Take time to smell the roses everybody before that kind old nurse called death rocks us all to sleep.

    I saw Kansas last night. To be honest, I took one for the team, as I didn’t know many of their songs. After I saw their concert I had so much appreciation for the group! The band itself is so on point and the violinist is fricken amazing! And the fact there is one man who is an original band member is fabulous! Yet,all the guys are so on point musically, it’s crazy! And their talent individually and collectively as a group is beautiful! They gave a little background on this song. One of the original band members was writing this song when his wife heard it, she stated that’s a really beautiful song, you should play it. And that’s how it came about.

    Sitting here crying. Can't help it.
    I bought this album for my son in early 1978 I believe . He was 12 and he really liked Kansas and Boston at the time. A great kid who grew up with a real appreciation of classic rock . I absolutely loved being his father and watching him grow into a man. He and I became the very best of friends when he got older . I have personally never seen a father and son as close as we were. We worked together for 15 years and never had one argument . Pancreatic cancer stole my son from me and my life is not and never will be the same for me . I miss him so .
    Sleep well my son you are always in my heart and in my mind also .

    I forgot this song...A.I. helped me find it again by just describing. I am very happy to be able to listen to this again...my Father passed away after losing his leg. Talked to him on the phone went to see him and he was gone before I can see him...so I had to bury him. I gave him a final kiss good bye...still can't believe it. Never even imagined it would be that way...
    This song soothes and reminds me this is life. All our time will come, just make the best of it. My Father was strong he made the best of it and gave me and my brothers a comfortable life.
    Rest in Peace

    Not many realize this song is a paraphrase of a passage in the book Ecclesiastes in the bible. I played guitar and sang this at my dad's memorial service a month ago and barely got through it without breaking down. He was a great example of someone from the 'Greatest Generation' from WWII. He didn't preach at us kids, he lead by example. My very favorite memory of him happened when I was nine years old. All six of us were eating supper in a cramped corner of a hovel of a kitchen, and us four kids were laughing and cutting up with dad. Mom got frustrated and asked why we couldn't have a nice quiet supper. Dad told her "I'd rather hear them laughing than crying." I greatly miss our conversations while sipping a cup of coffee with you dad.

    This song could be a poem, and it still would be beautiful. When I was a junior in high school we were asked to name and explain our favorite song. This was my favorite song. I wrote out the lyrics and read them to the rest of the class. A classmate asked why I would like such a sad song. I said, "it's not sad, it's real."
    My father was undergoing chemotherapy for bladder cancer at the time. He had already had surgery. Most of that school year, and a little into my senior year I didn't say much of anything to anyone. I was too busy praying, all of my waking hours, for my father to live. He survived that cancer, and also later survived lung cancer due to cigarettes'. He quit the cigarettes''. It's a blessing to me, and the rest of the family that he's still alive and with us to this day. I took comfort in this song, and still do. Be thankful for the people you have in your life. Material things come and go, as do people. But, as I've learned, people are so much more important.

Now I'm 23 years old, and I understand the lyrics, but I don't believe our actions are worthless. A small gesture can change another person's life, or that of a living being, or the planet.

I was such a sensitive loner at that age and this song was so beautiful. My parents must've worried terribly that I would turn into a depressive hermit when I grew up. If anything, this song taught me something that any child who's first dog just passed away learns quickly, that we are all just passing through on our way to the next station, and the only thing we own, truly own without any debt, is our soul.

    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

    I remember hearing this song as a child growing up in the 1970’s. I used to ask my Mom what is the meaning of this song. She told me that it is true that our bodies turn to dust, but our souls continue on forever. Now that I am 55, most of my family have passed away. I long to talk with them once more. The past is so close I can taste it sometimes, and yet so far away it shocks me. The only comfort I have is one day I will join them all. It’s true that all the earthly castles we build will someday turn to dust and be mostly forgotten by the young that remain. I guess it has always been that way, so this song remains profound as it speaks the truth.
