Yeah... A couple of forty year old guys dressing more like 14 year old boys, in backwards ball caps, track pants and hoodies and most likely big clunky unlaced multi-colored neon sneakers. Might even have those Heelys on. 😂 It's kinda disrespectful to be making jokes about the style of clothes that their parents were probably wearing when they first met. What happened to grown men dressing like grown men? I mean, I like Black Pegasus and his reactions are usually pretty well thought out - for the most part. But the guy with the glasses usually picks some element of the song or video that he doesn't like or understand and criticizes it, just for the sake of criticism. I'm not sure why he's participating in a reaction video if he's not going to give a serious reaction. In most of the videos I've seen with him, he doesn't even seem as though he cares if he's there or not.

This song came out when I was in high school. I was a violinist, and everyone who played guitar chose this song for their midterm project, and asked me to play along with them. I must have played it 30 times in one day... Then being asked to play it all the time in my rock band.... I still love it today. Music from the 70's and 80's will be cherished a hundred from now. It is timeless. Check out Old and Wise by Alan Parsons Project. That band was phenomenal!

@@deependz3231Ok wow… Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, 70’s (Zeppelin started in the 60’s but took off in the 70’s). 70’s also had Rainbow, AC/DC, America, Kansas, Boston, Styx, Van Halen, Heart, Queen, Lynard Skynard, Foreigner, Journey, Eagles, Don McLean, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, Bad Company, and dozens more solid artists/groups! And I tried really hard to avoid the groups that started in the 80’s, many of which are some of the greats… each decade builds off each other until around the 90’s, music quality goes down as the music industry booms into more poppy sounds and wants to mass produce their artists every 1-2 years until they milk them dry… even so, there are phenomenal groups in the 2000’s, even going into the last few years!

Interesting story behind this song. Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren was learning to finger pick and wrote a little finger picking exercise to that end. His wife heard him playing it and thought he should write a song around it. So he did, brought it to the band with some trepidation as it was an acoustic song, which Kansas didn't normally do. Recording it was a bit of an adventure. The other guitarist Rich Williams played on the recording. He'd been learning to finger pick as well, but on a banjo using metal finger picks. He performed the song on a standard six string, double tracked that, then played it with a Nashville tuning, and finally with a nylon-strung guitar. The next day he listened to it and umm... there was this click click click clickclickclick sound on the recording; the finger picks hitting the strings. He said you couldn't unhear it, so he had to do it all over again. Since he'd been using finger picks he didn't have any calluses, and his fingers were bleeding by the end.

Nietzsche famously stated *"There is a defiant spirit within 'Dust in the Wind'. It dares to look into the abyss of impermanence and proclaims, 'I am but dust, and yet, I sing!'"* And another of my favorite insights to the song was when Captain Kirk ruminated *"Bones, I've seen nebulae collapse, empires crumble...but nothing fills me with existential dread quite like that Kansas song.""*

I was in junior high school hearing "Dust in the Wind" for the first time and I was at my cool friend's house where he introduced me to Mary Jane 😂 and we both were lucky enough to hear this awesome song while we were in the treehouse. It has a special memory just from that treehouse moment. At that age, it was wild getting that message in that song. The extended version of Kansas's "Dust in the Wind" is 3 minutes and 26 seconds long. (They shaved off 6 seconds) 😢 😅The song is in the key of A minor and has a tempo of 94 BPM, but can also be played at 188 BPM. It is somewhat danceable, with the right Mary Jane😅.

Just went to a live show last month, only like 2 original members still touring. "Dust In The Wind" was their breakout hit on the radio in 1977 before MTV network started in 1981 and videos became the popular music accompaniment. The band members look was very typical of the time, probably would best be described as a "hair band" today, literally. So, the "hippie" look in the 60's which typically was long unkept hair, no makeup, and disheveled clothes, then turned into the "hair band" look with more tailored clothes but still long hair in the 70s, then turned into shorter hair styles with brighter clothes with design in the 80's, and so on and so on. Popular musicians of the different eras reflected the look of the respective times as well as the different genres.

And I wore my jeans tucked into my knee-high boots just like the lead singer. Pirate & Annie Hall style. I think they all look great.

Everyone has heard this song in tv series and movie funeral scenes, usually with flashbacks of the character in different scenes. "You're my BOY BLUE!!! you're my boy." -- Movie, Old School.

They are still doing their 50th anniversary tour. There are only two originals now-the guy in the tuxedo and the drummer who is not playing in this song. That amazing lead voice is Steve Walsh. He retired from Kansas in 2014. I run his fan group on FB. The violin player was classically trained. His name was Robby Steinhardt. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. This song is timeless. Kerry Livgren, the blond on guitar, was practicing some finger picking exercises when his wife heard it and said you’ve got to write lyrics for that. Kerry didn’t agree at first, because it was so unlike the other Kansas songs. He thought the band wouldn’t like it. But he had read some Native American poetry, and remembered the words, Dust in the Wind. The rest is history. It became a smash hit.
