Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son (1976) DayOne Reacts

One of the anthems of the 70’s, back when music still existed.

One mega hit than will never age due to the pure talent of all the band members, love it and I am a 60 year old Aussie.

[@rebeccasimmers3107]

You need to watch the video of this performance to get the full effect.

[@bickleyjonas6145]

Maybe visually. But audio-wise this track is remastered and sounds more powerful. Unless you really prefer the dryer sound.

[@raybernal6829]

Kansas is such an epic impressive band. They incorporate so many different sounds and tempo changes but their signature are the vocals especially Steve Walsh and Robbie Steinhardt. ❤❤

[@tristanflynn4014]

They play this song on Supernatural at the beginning of the season finales. They used to use AC/DC songs for the recaps at the start of the seasons.

[@mikecaetano]

"Carry On Wayward Son" retells the Myth of Icarus. Icarus was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the architect of the labyrinth of Crete. King Minos refused to let Daedalus leave the island of Crete after the labyrinth was completed because he knew its secrets. Daedalus plotted his escape by crafting wings that would allow him and Icarus to escape captivity under King Minos by flying across the ocean to their freedom. But during their escape Icarus was having so much fun flying around with his new wings that he flew too high, where the heat of the sun melted the wax that held them together and he fell into the ocean and drowned. The ups and down and starts and stops of the instrumentals reflect the path Icarus flew while he was having fun before he lost his wings. His demise informs the touch of sadness, and the sighs, in the vocal stylings in the song.

[@John-gq7vt]

I firmly believe the era of the largest amount of genuinely great music was roughly from the mid-sixties to the mid-eighties. Of course there is great music in all eras but the consistency, I think, was highest around those times. DayOne, it's great to see people not of that era enjoying so much of it. Music really is a treasure, I hope that remains true forever. Music says things words can't.

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

Yes a Great road trip song, really good vocals-Colin Ward

[@rexracer3221]

The video of Kansas playing is very impressive. One of the singers plays two instruments in this song: keyboard and conga drums. and sings. You would also appreciate the redheaded guy's super-afro. He looks like a radiant Lion.

[@ndhudecz]

HECK YEAH!!! I was 2 years out of Highschool..1976

How can anybody not like this song.

JELLUSS 80s kids lol

[@falcon215]

I was fortunate enough to see Kansas live in '77 when they were riding high with this song. This bought back some great memories.

[@MongooseTales]

In 1977 you could hear this song blaring out a dorm window in every college courtyard in America ...

[@tonybarnett1158]

For us old dogs who don't know how much time we have left..it is the perfect song. Peace.

[@dennisdye7270]

Incredible talent to compose and play this! Fairly common for such things in the ‘70s. Not so much today.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Nothing today comes close. It's like music died.

[@bickleyjonas6145]

​@@JaquelineGoodspeedmusic as an art isn't really a thing anymore. It's like, "I like this celebrity because they're trendy and they also happen to make songs so I'm gonna listen to them to feel validated"

[@DanielFrost21]

Some great classic rock here. From the album "Leftoverture" which is a masterpiece. My older brother used to put on headphones, and sing along. He was terrible, but he introduced me to great music like this. 6:50: Angela, the lyric is "there'll be peace when you are done" which to me symbolize there will be peace at the end of out lives when the worldly cares are over.

[@tommarks3726]

OMG, 1 of my 3 favorite songs in the world. 58 years old and was a kid when this came out. I still groove to this every night at work. On my playlist, add it to yours. lol

[@dennis2966]

"There'll be peace where you are from" - Angela. "Why didn't we think of that?" - Kansas. Great reaction, no matter the lyrics.

[@CCTH2221-lp2zj]

Kansas along with Boston and Styx had those anthems that helped them pack big arenas🎼

[@dennis2966]

This song was brilliantly produced and put together. Just a great classic.

[@theodoreritola7641]

This reminds me of Bostons More than a feeling and Long time ...... all 3 1976

This whole album is a masterpiece, if you get the chance worth your time.. Strange how you never hear that phrase anymore "whole album is a masterpiece" as it pertains to the present, .

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Great song still.

[@BlueDragon53]

Check out "Miracles out of Nowhere" and "The Wall" by Kansas. Loved your reaction Angela!

[@davids2096]

This will be my 2nd and final request for this group and song! It is from Little River Band's debut LP from 1973 I believe, and the track is It's A Long Way There, which is almost 9 min long, but every second is worth listening to! Have a good one!

[@billm8287]

This comment is for those who experienced 80's radio. I like this song but they played this song so much that at one point I had to change the station or turn off the radio because I was over it. Listening to it now I can bear it but it brings back the memory of radio overplaying songs like this one. I don't know if the newest generation has a similar experience since they choose what they listen to. We depended on disc jockeys especially if we were waiting on a new song to drop.

[@scottyhotty1003]

Love Dust in the Wind too.

[@christarpley6861]

My favorite song by them it's definitely a jam

[@JimFlickinger]

So glad you didn't pause it during the song. Much prefer reaction after having the full experience, I don't care which song you're covering.

[@charlesf2804]

This is a great song and the one I played most when I'd pull out the LP; I still have the LP I bought back in 1976 (yes I was around then). As you mentioned, the harmonies are killer, and I think the lead vocal is Steve Walsh (keyboards); the song was written by Kerry Livgren, one of the guitarists. "Miracles out of Nowhere" is another song I enjoy on that same LP ("Leftoverture"). On an unrelated note, I think you might enjoy "Space Trucking" by Deep Purple, off their "Machine Head' LP.

[@Retromolarman]

I was 15 when this came out, but I saw them in concert in 79 when I was in basic training in AF in San Antonio. Great in concert!

[@darkesthour9955]

And they used the Neoni cover in the Supernatural finale.

[@davidr.wilson8194]

My brother had the Kansas album "Monolith" ,which I would take and listen to when he wasn't home.I always liked that their music has lots of great guitar parts.I think a lot of them were actually trained in music,hence the songs are a little complex with lots of different parts.Yes,good song!

[@darthmoll2u]

This was a tune that was just kinda there for me, always getting a lot of play, but as a kid I never paid it much attention. No idea why, looking back at it in reaction videos. So much musicianship and so much going on musically in this song.

[@tonyidle7813]

in 1976 I was 17y/o , just got my 1965 Impala Super Sport for graduation and yes back in those days we also had loud car stereos. I would crank this song up on the stereo and drive my neighbors crazy.

[@jamesanthony5257]

This song makes me sad, because, it ran during the ending credits of the 1977 movie “Hero’s”, but only in the theaters. I had taken my girlfriend to watch the movie, and in one scene we saw and commented on seeing the last name of a friend. At about the same time we saw his name, that friend accidentally but tragically shot and killed his girlfriend at a house party. 47 years have passed and that is the memory flashback this song gives me every time I hear it. Carry On. RIP D.B.

[@SuziQ499]

[@mayLibertyprevail1a]

The singer was Steve Walsh. Very underrated talent, as was the band in general. They have lots of other great songs, but I would first suggest their big hit "Dust In The Wind" for something totally different.

Saw them at Canada Jam, Mosport Park, in 1978. They were of course fabulous and the finale group as darkness began to fall. Last song was epic "Dust in the Wind" and people waved their lighters en masse. I just happened to pick-up two hitchhikers in Toronto going to the concerts so I ended up joining them all the way there.

another great band from Kansas, please react from the band shooting star, last chance. so awesome.

[@alanstinton6831]

Hi Angela Kansas - yeah, I remember it. Excellent band, good choice. With greatest respect to K fans, can I be permitted a cheeky, unrelated, request here? Whitney Houston inherited that glorious voice of hers from her equally talented mum Cissy, who died only last week aged 90. Buried deep in Cissy;s 1970 debut album is an amazing track called "Any Guy". If you could play it for "Ladies Night" I reckon that before the end you and your caring heart will have got through as many tissues as you did over "Somewhere". Love your format (few pauses and almost no talkover - others should learn!)

I adore this song, it's officially the theme of Supernatural. I always think of Sam and Dean whenever I hear it.
