Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren wrote this after reading a book of Native American poetry. The line that caught his attention was, "For all we are is dust in the wind." This got him thinking about the true value of material things and the meaning of success. The band was doing well and making money, but Kerry realized that in the end, he would eventually die just like everyone else. No matter our possessions or accomplishments, we all end up back in the ground. The guy playing the violin recently passed away on July 17th. Kerry thought once they were gone so was their music, if only he knew it's still being played and touching lives. You need to react to the official video for wayward son it's just phenomenal.
Ooooo, love this song...Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Amen...Just beautiful, being chronically ill, I get every tiny meaning of this one...Thank you Devin...Blessings
I love your spirit and Christian witness. There is no need to apologize when reacting to slower or more calming songs. Just be yourself. Good reaction.
Another song that references the Bible is “Turn! Turn! Turn!” by the Byrds (1965) . Its lyrics are taken straight from Ecclesiastes Chapter 3. Check it out!
This is a Classic! I finally got to see Kansas come alive when I saw them with my Chicago at a free concert in DC for Veterans sometime between 2004-2013 not sure when. But it was so awesome to see Kansas Live in concert and see them play one of my favorite songs Dust in the Wind! Legendary!
Another fact about this song is Kerry use this riff in his living room at night as a finger exercise and somehow it turns out to be one of the greatest hits of all time these guys were clearly 1 of the most spiritual bands ever to play secular music when you listen to the words of a number of their songs you can clearly hear the messages check out the song the wall it's kerry battle within his mind to see if it's all worth it is it worth the fame and the glory to lose what is really inside I love these guys my class song in 1977 in the state of Maine my high school was carry on my way ward son another great great song keep spreading the music around brother God-bless.
Kansas played a show where I went to college. The very early 70's. Ended up with them after the show getting high in my dorm room. Good times. Man the stories I could tell. ✌️👍
May sound a bit morbid, but I've mentioned to my family that I wanted this song played at my funeral. My only complaint on this song is it's not long enough.
This and Wayward Son are my favorites by them. I love Kansas lol. My Dad is a drummer as well as I and when he used to play gigs at casinos and stuff he’d play Wayward Son (this song didn’t exactly fit the fun vibe of his venues.) And I love that you brought scripture into this video. I was not surprised Ecclesiastes was the book of choice as it’s kinda a depressing book lol. Edit: Also Song of America!
But really we are more than just dust in the wind cause the Soul never dies Amen&Amen!, Check out their Song ( Miracles Out Of Nowhere) love ya Brother in Christ...
Great song! Hey, another great song that is a reflection on a person's life, at the end of life looking back, is Rush's song called "The Garden". It's a beautiful song that has softer parts and heavy parts too. The lyrics are great, though. Check out that Rush song!
This is my go to list of Kansas songs : Journey From Mariabronn (1973) Apercu (1973) Death Of Mother Nature Suite (1973) Song For America (1974) Lamplight Symphony (1974) Incomudro - Hymn To The Atman (1974) Icarus - Born On Wings Of Steel (1975) Child Of Innocence (1975) Mysteries And Mayhem - The Pinnacle (1975) | essential to react to the longer original version Carry On Wayward Son (1976) The Wall (1976) Miracles Out Of Nowhere (1976) Opus Insert (1976) Cheyenne Anthem (1976) Magnum Opus (1976) | react to this the last, because, i think this is the greatest rock song ever recorded Point Of Know Return (1977) Portrait (He Knew) (1977) Closet Chronicles (1977) Lightnings Hand (1977) Dust In The Wind (1977) Hopelessly Human (1977) Honorable mention: Lonely Wind (1973) - very beautiful ballad Belexes (1973) A Glimpse Of Home (1979) Relentless (1980) Hold On (1980) Loner (1980) Don't Open Your Eyes (1980)
Kansas is real music. It sounds like you like hip hop or whatever. But music like dust in the wind. I can look back at this or any number of songs and remember every exact detail of when I first heard it. The beauty and good memories from it. Now take cardi b for example. Where were you whe you ou first heard WAP? See huge difference there.
Genesis 2:7 Man and Woman in the Garden …6But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being. 8And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.…
This will be a my Funeral if I due as they put me in the ground, but being a Christian thatvI have passed from death to eternal life, , I Believe that the the Tribulation will be within 2 yrs, so there is alot of info on this but if I were to die, I just changed location. There is eternal life through Christ. Thank U Brother for I r being a follower of Yeshua. God Bless
gibbidy aka - the man, if you don't want to react to carry on wayward son 'cause you already heard it, check out - what's on my mind. it's similar to carry on but maybe even better. oh, and more led zeppelin please.
I lovingly send this out to all of my Veteran Brothers and Sisters who didn't come home. You will forever remain loved, honored, and remembered. Until we feast and drink again in the War Halls of Heaven. All the way! Airborne! My friends Dale, Charise, Xiu and I did this song as a Trio during our Spring Choral Concert of 1986. I was a junior, they were seniors. We all loved Kansas. Dale played the acoustic and I played the acoustic bass, Charise played the tambourine, and our friend Xiu played the violin. We were MTVs Unplugged before it was cool. 😁 Little known fact of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame History: Kansas and Boston aren't in the RRHoF. Two of the greatest bands of all time. And they're not in the RRHoF. Sad!
What you got "In God we trust" on an American flag? God is NOT American! Btw, you have a huge example of Idols around you, why even your real name up in lights. At the least I would have expected a "Christian" to know better. As a role model what are you teaching other's? Idolatry is a Sin, it's 1 of the 10 commandments or did you forget that. I'm disappointed with your actions brother but I can't judge as we both know only our Creator can do that. Sorry if I come off angry, maybe I am.

You'd really like what I did with The Doobie Brothers' 'Black Water' on my channel!

RIP brother Robbie, the Violinist who past away recently.

I love your spirit and Christian witness. There is no need to apologize when reacting to slower or more calming songs. Just be yourself. Good reaction.
You can also tell by Kerry Livgren’s song writing that the Lord was drawing him to Himself. Love this
Another beautiful song by Kansas - Miracles Out of Nowhere.
Good choice. One of the most beautiful songs ever made
so true! if you can't feel that you don't have a heart

Beautiful song. Great perfomance of violín and guitar. Love this song.
The guitar part was a “practice” he use to play. His wife told him that should be a song. And here it is…
We arent all just dust in the wind, we got a soul too!
You totally respected this music. Thank you for your encouraging words. God bless you
A fave from my HS years, it's such a beautiful song ❤

Love this song / huge KANSAS fan (grew up in Kansas). Red headed / violin player just went back to the Lord recently. 🙏
The sibling trio Girl Named Tom covered this song on The Voice and it basically won them the competition
A timeless classic.
Kansas played a show where I went to college. The very early 70's. Ended up with them after the show getting high in my dorm room. Good times. Man the stories I could tell. ✌️👍
I live in kansas seen this band live.
May sound a bit morbid, but I've mentioned to my family that I wanted this song played at my funeral. My only complaint on this song is it's not long enough.
I always flip flop on if I want a sad song like this at my funeral or if I want a banger like Highway to Hell or something like that 😂
Kansas - Point of no return, hold on, play the game tonight
Carry On Wayward Son
Always love your reactions Devin! I would love to see you start reacting to some Voiceplay! They are an amazing Acapella group!

Another great song along this vein is "Time" by the Alan Parsons Project.
Please also react to More Than Words, by Extreme. This song reminds me of More Than Words, and I think you will like it.

should have shown more reverence and not yakked until the end -- one of the best songs to come out of the 70's
