Very prolific song. The guitar part was originally used as an exercise warmup for the guitarist but encouraged by his band mates made into a song! Yes, Kansas, are great instrumentals. Checkout their live performance of "Carry On Wayward Son". Thanks Blessing! 😊
I'm from Kansas, so this band would still play a lot of local festivals. They were actually my first concert in 1993 when I was just 10 years old. I'll never forget during this song, they turned the lights down, and put a spotlight on the violinist during the solo. At one point the lead singer popped up from behind an amp stack with a fish net acting like he going to net the violinist. Suggestions: Point of no Return, and Song for America.
This is legitimately one of my favorite songs and as morbid as it may sound, I want this as my funeral tribute song. The composition and musical flow match the somber lyrics and it ties into the meaning of life itself when you realize that in the grand scheme of the universe, we are but a speck of dust in the wind and without a higher purpose, we are meaningless. Remember though, a spec of dust can change someone's vision, make them cough, OR, make glass so you can see. This next part I stole from a Medium article by D.A. DiGerolamo, but it completely summarizes my thoughts and feelings: While we may all be but dust in the wind, we’re still here, we still exist, we still have the ability to impact those around us...We have the ability to teach and learn, to leave our mark on the world. While we may come and go, our impact on those around us lingers (long after we're gone). Have a GREAT day and never stop smiling!!!!
hello dear Blessing (you are) 💖 I have listened to this many-a-time over the years; its been really a spiritual experience, and I originally cracked crying, when the violins kicked in - so touching. Now I find it hard to emphasize any part of it over the others. Its just so perfect, as it is. After this one and 'Carry on Wayward Son' I went on the journey of discovering them more... there's a lot to recommend... let me just pick 2 especially gorgeous and interesting songs as examples: 'Magnum Opus' and 'Icarus - Born on Wings of Steel' - both what I would categorize as 70s ProgRock - highly creative and entertaining 🌈

This is such a beautiful song. I love listening to this song.
Your reviews and reactions are always so heartfelt and on point.
Thank you for this marvelous video about this important song.
This song has been referenced in so many movies. When I hear it I think of a college kid sitting under a tree on campus singing to some friends lol
Marvelous band. My favorite song by them. Awesome musicians and harmonies😅

Hi Richard. I love your comment. “Prolific” is well said 💯

Back in the 60’s and 70’s a lot of bands were deep.
