Anytime that happens, I quit listening t that band. It's not the band doing it, but the leeches sucking off their success. Reactors are no different than DJ's. You are promoting their work but the leches cannot profit from it.
Glad to see how much you enjoyed this. Kansas is a great progressive rock band from the 70's. A few more Kansas songs to check out: What's on My Mind Hold On Portrait (He Knew) Point Of Know Return Magnum Opus Miracles Out Of Nowhere The Wall Reason to Be Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel)
It's a song that provokes memories. We seen them perform in 1978. Tickets for it $7.5 Really great concert. Even better we were surprised when Rick Wakeman performed with them. They never announced he would be there. The sound from the keyboards and synthesizers were mesmerizing. They don't have a bad song. You might give Miracles Out of Nowhere a listen. 🚜🤠🐂
i saw them in 1982 in Memphis Super jam with REO Speedwagon (supporting High Infidelity) headlining, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts & Survivor. "I Love Rock & Roll" & "Eye of the Tiger" were both blowing up at the time, REO was never bigger, and it was a general admission stadium show. It was LIT. Miss those days.
Reminds me of high school - thanks for reacting - this one always get me. The poetry and parallels to the Eccl 3:20 really reflect our own mortality - what a poem.
sorry i lost it to this was my dad's favorite band and his favorite song. He played it alot, now that he has passed I will play it to remember all the good times we had together. This is not a sad song to me but it is a emotional song.
This is my song! I sang it with my group in high school. I was escaping the dormitory to go sing in a bar with my friends, in the town I was studying in.
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.
This is a favorite from them. It always has been. Another one you might enjoy is their song "People of the south wind" It's an unofficial song for those of us old timers from the plains states. The summer wind is always from the south to southwest and the winter is from the northwest. It is generally a constant wind and we notice when it stops.
Empress looking amazing, glowing! Always nice seeing your great smile! I've always loved this beautiful and true message of this song and its beautifully melodic violin solo.
I've loved this song since it first came out in 77. It is hauntingly beautiful. Thank you Empress for your beautifully expressive reaction and thoughtful comments!❤
Hello beautiful Empress There is a cover by Leo Moracchioli who runs Frog Leap Studios.Please do a reaction to this great cover and watch the Outro that follows.Thanks sweetie.
You need to do the new Angelina Jordan songs "If I Were a Boy" a BeYonce" cover and "Bad Valentine" before she puts out her new material on September 20. She will move you like nobody else on the planet, I promise.
I uploaded this video few hours ago and it was taken down due to copyright infringement 😢 I hope it stays this time. Love you all ❤

I was lucky enough to see Kansas on this tour in 1977 and the memory of their performance of this song s still burned into my memory. Great time.
Such a good message in this song.
A legendarily beautiful song. Sweet chords are great to listen to. Thank You ❤

Nice video, brought back memories, Take care and be safe.
Glad you enjoyed it.

You can't listen to this song after the age of 30 without getting emotional 😅facts ...

Hey Empress, I hope you are well. This song is special to as it may be to many others. Sometimes we need to escape for a moment.
This is my song! I sang it with my group in high school. I was escaping the dormitory to go sing in a bar with my friends, in the town I was studying in.
Your extremely beautiful, and a beautiful accent ❤️🧡💛 Gooday from Australia 😇
Wow, thank you! 😊
Love this song!!!

Hi Ms. Empress, I like Kansas a lot.. How are you doing?? ♠Mr.G..
Hi Empress Joy Jean,
please do a reaction to,
Stan Walker song - I am.
I love you as a reactor only one suggestion if you would not talk over the song. Just pause it and then say what you need to. Great reaction.
Dudes my older brother's age would call this song sell-out-bubblegum-pop music; they don't know how good they had things.
Hello beautiful Empress
There is a cover by Leo Moracchioli who runs Frog Leap Studios.Please do a reaction to this great cover and watch the Outro that follows.Thanks sweetie.
You should check out Skeeter Davis with end of the world
Kansas was basically a Christian rock band
Here's a good example you're talking over the music and you have no idea what they really sayin.
You need to do the new Angelina Jordan songs "If I Were a Boy" a BeYonce" cover and "Bad Valentine" before she puts out her new material on September 20. She will move you like nobody else on the planet, I promise.
