This is one of the finest songs ever recorded. An ethereal, haunting, timeless classic.
Yes I think it was definitely made to reflect your mortality.
Dust to dust is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 3:20, "All are from the dust, and to dust all return." In the Bible, this passage emphasizes that humans and animals are no different and that everyone is made up of the earth and will return to the earth.
You said it, brother.
Kansas is one of great bands in rock. Check out all their songs. Dust in the wind is my favorite of them.
I absolutely agree.
This was the first song I heard after my parents told me they were getting a divorce, back in 1978. I was devastated by it, but somehow I don't have bad associations with it. It is just bittersweet and beautiful.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and re-defined how rock bands of the 70's could power through concerts and then step back with the coolest ballads......
Yeah, similar in my opinion to "America - Horse With No Name" or "John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads"
Wholeheartedly agree
My freshman high school year.
Silent lucidity holds that trophy 🏆
Agree 💯! A Very Beautiful song!❤️
"Reflecting on your mortality"
Nailed it, Brad.
This feeds into the other question "When would you play a song like this?"
Maybe when you want to hear a beautifully profound and haunting song... or, you know, when you get older.
Which made me think of this one Rush lyric: "We're only immortal for a limited time". Getting older, having people around start to move on from this life... the song hits me differently now as compared to when I was in my 20's.
Finally, that one line from this song about life: "And all your money won't another minute buy". This is less true now than when the song was written. I expect it to be even less true in the future, for the very wealthy. We, the people, should take notice of this, and make sure quality healthcare is available to everyone, not just the rich.
@@pssthpok lol all the money in the world will never stop death, possibly delay a little while but nobody can guarantee 1 more heartbeat
See my comment above...
This song was played at the funeral of one of best friends growing up. He died of cancer at 23, this song still reminds me of him, and brings a tear to my eye...
I'm sorry for your loss, sending Peace and Love to you.
Lex didn't just hear this she *felt* it. That's a beautiful reaction! Loved it.
She always feel the music. That's why she is the best!!!!!!
Lex is always in her "Feels!"
If I may borrow from "White Men Can't Jump", it's more like, "Lex didn't just listen to this, she heard it."
That’s Lex, as I have come to learn.
Lex Is Absolutely Right,, It Was Purposely Made To Have An Intimate Sound & Convey It's Message.
Yeah, I think if she is looking for how to describe a LOT (not all) of modern music is "generic". Especially in pop music. A lot of music today is designed off of a formula that reaches out to the widest audience utilizing song structures that are found to be most appealing on the surface. Back then, it was about finding a different sound and structure and trying something that may even be considered taboo for the time simply because it fit the vision of the song author and performers.
artists had more freedom to record what they wanted, rather than what their record label wanted, from about 1970-76 than they ever had before or since. 3 of the biggest exceptions to this generalization are the beetles, michael jackson, and prince. they did what they wanted to in the 60s, 80s, and 90s. point is that "purposefully made to have an intimate sound" has been just as true at other times, but these groups had the creative freedom to see that intimate sound come to fruition. this is true of fleetwood mac, boston, foreiner, doobie brothers, zeppelin, peter frampton, bee gees, stevie wonder, meat loaf, pink floyd, and anyone else making albums between woodstock and disco.
Lex usually nails it. I'm learning from her. :)
And then there's Will Ferrell's haunting tribute to Blue in Old School.
The guitar started out as a finger-picking exercise by one of the guitarists and his wife thought it could be a song and encouraged him to play it for the rest of the band and there were a lot of other elements that just came together to make this masterpiece.
The reason older songs sound “intimate“ is because they were written by people who had a artistic passion to express themselves. They pour their whole life into their music. The stars today are picked for their looks as much as anything. The music is secondary because they can digitally make you sound like anything and it’s just gonna be a near copy of something that’s already out.
The beautiful violin parts of this amazing song is the late, great Robbie Steinhardt. He just passed away last year. RIP ❤️
You see, back on those days we couldn’t just open an app and cherry-pick songs. We put an album in the turntable and listened to the full album. A song like this was just part of the experience.
Same here, except it was a CD
The best songs were often the ones you never heard on the radio. I think the current generation is missing out on a lot of good music by not buying albums.
Real shit, and I miss it somewhat
Then you'd flip it over and do it again. Or, you'd let it play over, and over, and over again.
Well, you could hunt and peck for one specific song, but unless you knew the record INTIMATELY, you'll end up with loads of bits and pieces of other songs as you hunt for the song you wanted.
Berto is spot on. Kansas is Prog royalty. “Carry On Wayward Son” is their signature song, but this was their first number one hit. My favorite Kansas song is “Closet Chronicles.” “People of The South Winds,” “The Wall,” “Point of Know Return.”
Carry on is one of my favorites and still on my play list
"Carry On Wayward Son" is probably their biggest hit, but "Point of No Return" is great. "Hold On" is another one. "Icarus" another. It's a great band.
2/9/22, 9:51 p.m.
All great songs by you guys but I would mention ‘He Knew’. It’s another thinker.
@@ORagnar point of no return was probably as big as carry on. But carry on was used in the supernatural series a lot and I was a huge fan. That show kept 70s rock in front it's whole run, part of the vibe for me.
They're my vote for greatest prog rock band of all time. Legit.
I was skeptical of Berto joining in with Brad and Lex at first, but for a 'youngster' he's really got an open mind and adds some interesting takes on the music.
Skeptical? Berto has always hade some insightful and mature things to say from day 1. He's always been a great addition.
@@matthansen758 Agreed. Two is company and three's a crowd. Guess who could go.
@@matthansen758 Yes. I said, "I was skeptical of Berto..at first." By "first", I mean when he *first* appeared. Not necessarily this video.
@@matthewhudson5685 I'm just surprised since Berto proved himself from the beginning, even from the first video, that there was nothing to be skeptical about.
But hey now I'm just obsessing over a word I understand what you mean it's just that I never felt the need to be skeptical personally.
@@matthansen758 No harm. Just saying that at first I was worried about Berto being included. I was wrong.
But now I am really loving his insight.
Let's just love the reactions together!
The lyrics are magic - "Just a drop of water in an endless sea," I always loved that line.
Violin….among the many things we saw in rock during the 70’s. There’s a flute out there too- Jethro Tull. Meanwhile,this one- gold. ❤️🎼❤️🤘😎
My step dad wanted this played at his funeral. This and another one bites the dust.😃
LOL. 😄
ashes to ashes, dust to... dust!
@@BensSoZen ...if god won't have me then the devil must!
@@MatthewC137 I've actually never heard that one
Very different songs, but applicable.
This is not just music; it's philosophy.
Brad got it right - where would you listen to this song? At the cottage/cabin, on the radio, at church, at a concert? I listen to this song when we're driving long distances to another city or camp. Dust In The Wind is a great song for its time. Two years ago, I bought "Hits From The 70s" and this tune was on it. I'm born in the 80s, but instead of listening to fast guitars, fast drums, metal and bandmembers screaming when they're singing. This song gave us a break with Dust In The Wind which is softer and you can understand the lyrics.
It's not a philosophy, it's an existential crisis is musical form.
@@Snipergoat1 Existentialism is a philosophy . . .
Because of it's etherial almost churchlike sound and because of the ashes to ashes, dust to dust line in funeral prayers, THIS SONG HAS BEEN PLAYED AT EVERY FUNERAL I'VE BEEN TO SINCE THE 70s.
It's gonna be played at mine 🕊️
How about another one bites the dust?
Beautiful song from the late 1970s. Dark times just like now. We pushed through before to beat the forces down and can do so again. Music like this heals the spirit. ❤💗
Beautifully said.
Point of no return is another amazing song by them butt most people forget just how good it is.
She's right, the songs of the era (damn auto correct!) very intimate and you went to their CONCERTS to hear them. Couples cuddled together to sway to the music. Band members were classically trained. I knew Robbie Steinhart and had violin lesson with him. He invented the electric violin. Great bands back then we're great because they had that vesitility. You play that song ALL THEVTIME.
Totally awesome song. I love the acoustic guitar and the violin interlude. Carry On Wayward Son another great Kansas song
Yes.
They actually did that one already
@@brettkenschaft4239 Oops, thanks Brett.
@@metalmark1214 Sure, and no worries, it is a great song!
We had great rock back then. Helped us to have a conscience. Contemplating our purpose here❤️
Berto gets it. Hit the nail right on the head.
I remember as a teenager when this first came out, sitting around on the beach with friends, bonfire at night, made you contemplate life and the fragile nature of all we are
The most amazing version of this song I ever heard was at a campsite we'd hiked into way in the back mountains of northern New Mexico.
A guy at the camp site had his guitar with him and we were all sitting around the campfire and he busted out Dust in the Wind.
I have to assume that my memory (this was nearly 40 years ago) is romanticizing his playing, but that night under the stars, by the fire with this song being played live has always stuck with me.
Have you seen the movie Into The Wild? A lot of great music in this style and a wonderful yet sad tale.
As a teenager this song left me with a feeling of wonder and curiosity. In the Autumn of my life it brings a lump to my throat. All our lives are beautiful and precious - something tragically transient, yet unique and hauntingly beautiful. It makes me think of Rutger Hauer in the original Bladerunner,
“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”'
Thats how I feel, I've never seen attack ships off the shoulder of Orion, but I've seen, felt and experienced things in my life that have moved me and overwhelmed me at times leaving me speechless or lost in wonder to be a part of this shared experience of conscious awareness, and all those things which are my own observations and contributions will be lost in time, like tears in rain, when I die. Haunting, beautiful.
Great comment sir.
That quote was my favorite part of Bladerunner. And to apply to your own life.....well played.
This is one of the most iconic songs of the late 70’s, huge song. Check out Carry On My Wayward Son, Point of No Return and Portrait (He Knew). All are incredible songs.
When I was a kid this was played every two hours on the local pop and rock AM station.
Hearing this makes me think of The Little River Band. Anything from their catalog has this kind of vibe. One of my absolute fave bands of this era.
"A funeral type moment..." cut to Old School
Robbie Steinhardt was the violinist. He passed away just a few months ago. A big behemoth of a man, long haired and long bearded. Surprised the daylights out of me when I saw the video for this song on MTV so many years ago. You should check out the video sometime. So sad to see him go. One of my favorite songs, by the way. I always notice the soft harmony of this song versus the hard harmony of Carry on Wayward Son. Big difference.
This is so beautiful. I've always loved Kansas and this song. I would listen to this song when I was smoking and chilling. It never made me sad, just philosophical.
Kansas was the only huge commercial band to have a violin player - Robbie Steinhardt - who also sang harmony on ‘Dust’. Violin was huge throughout their prog compositions. Robbie died a few months ago -RIP.
This was a huge radio hit, believe it or not.
This song touches me so much with it's melody as words that I've chosen it to be played at my funeral. The guitarist was doing a finger exercise (the melody) and his wife loved it and since Kansas needed one more song for album he threw these words together rather quickly. He is a spiritual man. Everyone is born to die....you don't know how long you have so make every moment count in your life 🕊️💗
You sir are correct.
Hey this one is for Lex.! The first time you just listen to the music, now listen to the lyrics. He's relating the message to the world.! You have to remember this is Kerry Lundgren were talking about here, pure genius! This guitar riff he got from just a finger exercise.!
Do Kansas "Point of No Return" next! This band is like prog rock and they use classical instruments too. Violin, piano, organs, etc Jethro Tull was like them too with flutes
About 30 years ago, my husband and I took a trip to San Fransisco. We took a tour through Muir Woods to check out the Redwoods.. I had my Walkman with me and we shared the headphones and sang, fully out loud, “Dust in the Wind” over & over! It was the perfect song in that moment for us to express what those trees were making us feel.. so small.. such a tiny fragment of time alive.. so very humbled.. in comparison to the life of those beautiful giants.. kinda put things into perspective..and yet, even those colossal trees will, one day, succumb to being Dust in the Wind. Nothing is forever. Cherish everything in every moment. That song will forever take me back to that time in the Redwoods and will forever serve as an example of what that song means to me.
Anywho… all in my feelings there! 🤪
Cheers guys! Great reaction! xo
The funny thing waas the song was an after thought for the album Kerry Livgrens guitar part was nothing but warm up exercise, his girlfriend at the time convinced to present it to band. If my memory is right it was the last song added to the album and became their biggest hit
Watch them play several times at the high school we came from in Topeka, Kansas. I was a transplant from Ohio and immediately fell in love with this music. 73-74. My ancestral roots were from McPherson, Kansas and one of Steve Walsh's songs I connect with his people of the south wind. They were such a tight band with no computer electronics, just a mastery of the instruments.
I love Kansas, and this song is great. You can also play this song at a funeral or a wake. Kansas were a group of God-knowers.
'70s talent of epic proportions!! Stadium concert music. Smoke a joint, chill and enjoy.
"YOU'RE MY BOY, BLUE!"
Hey Brad & Lex the violin part is played by Robbie Steinhardt he has lived in Tampa for many years until he passed away in July. The last time I ran into him he was performing at a club in Palm Harbor a few years ago.
Years ago I happened on the thought that this entire album is geared towards salvation when you listen to each successive song. I love this album.
Kansas was/is an American progressive rock band. Progressive rock is usually characterized by conceptual lyrics and longer, more complex music. Although this is a slow mellow, song, Kansas has some wild, extremely fast tempo songs. As to Brad's question as to "what where people doing in the 70's with this" - we bought albums and LISTENED intently to the whole record!! . Two lead singers (Steve Walsh here) and Robby Steinhardt (R.I.P.) who also was an incredible violinist (his violin was an integral part of the band's music).
I kind of think of a lot of 70's music as being headphones music, and I get Lex's comment about intimacy from that.
The Violin is in most of Kansas songs its a staple of their music. This was their highest selling and rated song even though they are known for Carry on my Wayward son, the song that started it all for them. My mother who is 80 loves Kansas and wants this song played at her funeral. I have to say I would too.
You play a song like this when you want to hear really really good music. In the 70s people listened to a lot of radio, no music in your pocket. This song came on, and you just dug it.
Kansas was a very popular prog rock band from the mid 70s to early 80s. They had 2 platinum albums, 'Leftoverature' (1976) and 'Point of No Return' (1977). Both records are worth hearing from start to finish.
"Dust in the Wind" is from 1977 album and is the biggest song from it. The song was written by Kerry Livgren (acoustic guitar, lead guitar, keyboards) and it was originally a finger picking exercise that became a song. The lead singer is Steve Walsh, who also plays keyboards. The violinist is Robbie Steinhardt (RIP) who also supplies backing vocals.
"Carry On Wayward Son" is their other most well known song. You've probably heard that one! ✌🎼🎸🎤
A song that HAS to be listened to all the way through every single time!
Am I the only person who automatically thinks about the Ancient Greece scene in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure?
These are the days of our lives.😂😂👍
RIP Robby Steinhardt, violinist and co-lead singer for Kansas. He passed just last year at the age of 71, so this song has a particular irony. This is a song you'd play late at night, maybe when you're winding down and getting ready to hit the sack. Or maybe you have this included in a mellow play list when you have a few friends over and want something playing quietly in the background. And of course, it has been played at many funerals.
You don’t just play this song, you play the whole album - it takes you on a journey.
I am not great at acoustic guitar picking but this one I can play. I learned it at 12 years old then didn't play any guitar until 51 years old, but this was still in my fingertips. I didn't even need to look up the tabs.
You're my boy Blue!
😂😂class
I love that "Bill & Ted" quoted the title to Aristotle. This song has always reminded me of when I worked in an infirmary at an Old Folks home. I was the dishwasher and I all so set up the trays for the food. When I didn't have to set up some tray, I always knew that I would never see that person again. It was quite the lesson for a 15 year old boy.
This is my funeral song when the time comes. You just witnessed a timeless classic. Berto got it to a tee 👍
In the 70s the song was played everywhere and anywhere. It was on the radio all the time. Heard it In the car, on the beach, in the house, at parties you name it. One of the definitive 70s sounds
"All we are is dust in the wind, dude."
"Ted" Theodore Logan
I agree, absolutely spot on about 70’s music being intimate. 70’s is untouchable imo. Lyrics, chord progression, solos, etc are so much better than today
Without a doubt, one of the all time classics of music.
This was basically made to counter modern day anxiety issues. Where ppl have some many fixations on things that they think they HAVE to do, or HAVE to get, etc. This song says: Relax, the world will go on, and eventually none of that will matter at all. Kick back, and enjoy the moment, because it will not last.
You're my boy blue!!!!!
It was written by guitarist Kerry Livgren, who was inspired by a Native American poem containing the line “For all we are is dust in the wind” , both pull inspiration from : I reflected on everything that is accomplished by man on earth, and I concluded: everything he has accomplished is futile - like chasing the wind!
"Dust in the Wind" is a song recorded by American progressive rock band Kansas and written by band member Kerry Livgren, first released on their 1977 album Point of Know Return.
The song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of April 22, 1978, making it Kansas's only single to reach the top ten in the US. The 45-rpm single was certified Gold for sales of one million units by the RIAA shortly after the height of its popularity as a hit single. The song was certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA on November 26, 2019, which makes it the second song by the band to reach platinum after "Carry on Wayward Son."[2]
Lex just feels the tunes. Gotta love it! Kansas covered a lot of ground musically. A great banger is What's On My Mind.
So many rock guitar players and bands got their start in folk music. That beautiful guitar picking you hear throughout is classic folk! Many of us had musical education starting to in elementary school. Getting together and jamming with our instruments and voices was commonplace! This is why we need musical education in all schools- it opens up universes and possibilities to all. It’s always the right time for beautiful music!!!
A song that one has to know to fully appreciate the movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. The heart of the band was the violinist Robbie Steinhardt (who just died this year). The song writer was Kerry Livgren who was exploring religious themes. He would later become a born again Christian and wound up alienating the rest of the band. (I don't think they were anti-Christian, just anti being preached to). They are still touring, but minus the three most influential members, the main songwriter, the singer, and the violinist (who was also the frontman when I saw them live, but that was after the original singer had quit). But the role players of the band are all still there.
They were the best musicians I have seen live.
Dust. Wind. Dude😀
Thank you for doing this song...Yes they do play this in clubs...There is a local band in your area that would have Robby Steinhardt (the violinist) come and jam with them quite frequently and usually would do this song and other KANSAS favorites...(RIP Robby...you are missed)
The band is Stormbringer...they have been together for 27+ years and are considered the best local rock band in the Tampa Bay area...go check them out because they cover a lot of the songs you have reacted too...
Thank you Brad and Lex for your entertaining reactions...I have enjoyed many and looking forward to many more...
One of the most popular classic rock songs of all time
Saw them in a small venue front row this song brought everyone to tears. I was so close to that violin it was so intimate and emotional
Check out more from this band. They have a lot of progg hits. Late seventies I believe.
Yes, late 70's.
They were still actively producing (good, although not necessarily commercially successful) music into the 80s (with 5 being released between 1980 and 1988), with an additional 3 albums in the 90s/2000 (although one of those was re-recorded previous songs), as well as two albums in 2016 and 2020.
Their first album was also released in 1974 (although they did have 5 more released between 1975 and 1979). The very famous "Carry on Wayward Son" was actually released in 1976 on the album "Leftoverture", with "Dust in the Wind" following that in 1977s album "Point of Know Return".
Kansas was a progressive rock band in the 70's-80's that had aggressive time signatures within their music. The original members were top notch musicians, and their vocal harmonies were outstanding. Dust In The Wind was the lightest song of all their titles.
Also, if you come across someone overly full of their own importance, you could play it for them as a gentle reminder to come back down to earth..
Oh, Robbie... he truly was a gift. RIP big man, inspiration to so many young violinists including my own brother.
Kerry Livgren (KANSAS guitarist, who wrote Dust In The Wind) searched through a few different religions before becoming a Christian. This song shows some of that searching. The song's tone is similar to the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, written by King Solomon, about futility in many things in life.
Yes And Actually The Idea For The Song Came From Kerry Livgren Doing A Guitar Exercise To Warm Up And His Wife Heard It and Said You Ought To Make That Into A Song So He Did and It Was A Number 1 Hit !!
One of the members of Kansas went on to have success in Christian rock with his band A.D. Kerry Livegren. Kansas was very big in the 70's. This song is humbling. When you get to thinking your bigger than you are. The young man on the right hit it on the head with his thoughts on the song.
There's a thing called Arena Rock that is not intimate. KISS, for example, is arena rock. And, as Lex astutely observed, later AC/DC is arena rock.
There was a fine line for bands to straddle. And I'd call it Stadium Rock…AC/DC certainly had larger ambitions than just arenas. Several bands (Rush, Styx, Deep Purple) started out prog but got louder and harder, and had their prog roots diminish to various degrees. REO Speedwagon was a boogie band, essentially, but hit it big with the softer [sellout crap] singles, and ended up in bigger arenas, too.
Kansas never quite reached the biggest level (although they certainly sold records) and as such stayed perhaps closest to their original sound. And then, of course, they were destroyed by other factors…
During Desert Storm, two air force guys, my buddy Fitzgerald and me (Army) sat outside the USO at Khobar and with two guitars (me and one of the AF guys) we did this song. We all knew the lyrics and the music. When we finished we didnt realize but about a thousand American service members in the surrounding apartment complex also hung out and listened to us. when we finished, it was quite the surprise from the applause...and they wanted us to play it again. We did.
"From dust you were made, and to dust you shall return..." John 3:16
That's not John 3:16, it's Genesis 3:19.
Amen ❤️
Brads intense/emotional/thoughtful mind really gets music and lyrics , Lex is on another level and almost always all heart and absolutely loves all the songs...👍🇺🇸🍻
I love Kansas. Even before Supernatural 😆
Supernatural changed my mind on Kansas and Styx and several 70s bands
Everytime I hear this song I get shivers up my spine ,an absolute classic
Great song, great reaction. Life is precious, make the most of it!
A lot of us just kicked back with headphones on and listened. I did that a lot and so did my friends.
From dust we were created and to dust we will return.
What a Mega Hit! The Pride of the Topeka/ Lawrence area of Kansas. Got to party with them along time ago when I was a Roadie and Lighting technician with another local Kansas Band. very down to earth guys! Dig in Guys they have tons of Hits!
When do you play a song like this? When you and some friends just burned one and get all philosophical.
All we are is dust in the wind, man…. We are
just a speck of dust on this universe.
Lololol I was going to say that in the 70's we would sit around passing the bong and listening to these songs and Pink Floyd and zeppelin
@@bryanmac1958 and Rush. Don't forget Rush... but yes... that's what the 70's was... along with deep conversations while high.
Will Ferrell sang this song at Blue’s funeral in the movie Old School. “You’re my boy Blue.” Lol
A profound song about man's vanities and how superficial we are in this world.
40 years ago tonight, February 2nd, 1977 I saw Kansas in a movie theater in Portland, Oregon. Great band! More Kansas please, Down The Road is a good one.
"Your my boy Blue"
Kansas was one of several popular progressive Rock bands of the 1970s. The late 1960s and early 1970s was a time of musical exploration. Young musicians experimented with new musical instruments and incorporated and combined various musical genres in new, unexpected ways. Progressive Rock was a natural outgrowth of the experimental Psychedelic period.
If you are ever time travelling in a telephone box and meet Socrates, quote this song and he'll follow you anywhere.
Dust, wind, dude.
The song was written by Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren after reading a book of Native American poetry...a line "For all we are is dust in the wind" caught his attention...no matter what we do in life we return to the earth...long story short...it allmost didn't make the point of no return album, because he didn't think it was a Kansas type song..but they all loved it,and the rest is history.👍
The entire song came from a finger picking exercise. Kerry's wife said she liked it and he should make it into a song.
“You’re my boy Blue! You’re my boy!”
You play it when you want to hear it, Brad. Stop worrying about the propriety.
What we were doing in the 70's is reflecting about our military experiences, hard work and difficult relationships. This was a good song to listen to when reflecting at the end of the day.
This was played at a funeral I attended for two young people, outdoors beside a lake ---- 200 people weeping as quietly as they could manage. Beauty in the midst of tragedy . . . No better song for it.
Robby Steinhardt was a classicly trained violinist. Another thing about Kansas hitting it out of the park, the musicianship
Lex's comment was BRILLIANT...intimate. She nailed it before the song was over...very intuitive girl.
This song means something to everyone who hears it. I don't think anyone's reaction to the song is quite the same as anyone else. We all hear what means to us in the song and lyrics. This song is a timeless classic.
