Inna, I don't know if someone responded to your questions on this song by Kansas. Basically its an ANTI-WAR song that came out of a Hollywood movie HEROES with the great actor Harrison Ford (Star Wars -- Han Solo). Ford played an American who came home from the Vietnam war of the 1965-1975 and was in bad mental PTSD from combat. It's a great movie and you can probably see ito on some of the streaming channels -- this song was part of the soundtrack. Here is the info Heroes is a 1977 American drama film directed by Jeremy Paul Kagan[3] and starring Henry Winkler, Sally Field and Harrison Ford (in his first post-Star Wars role, but filmed before that movie's release). Winkler plays a Vietnam War vet with PTSD who sets about finding the men from his unit who had served in Vietnam. Field plays his at-first-reluctant girlfriend and Ford plays one of the former soldiers in his unit, now a dysfunctional stock car driver in Sedalia, Missouri, who keeps a stolen M16 rifle in the trunk of his car.

So was I. Witness the takeoff at the high school and locally ' 73-76 Topeka West High School/ local venues. They made us proud being on a national record. Going to Junior college down in Independence. Kansas sharing what groups we like with a fellow teammate. I mentioned Kansas. He was from Gadsden Alabama and his eyes lit up saying we loves Kansas. They weren't frontlining the concert but he said they like them better than the group that followed. Made me smile. The picture on their first album of them standing there in the wind was a place called Burnett's mound. It was on the south side of Topeka. The first house we lived in '73 when we stood at the fence in our backyard it looked directly at the top of that mound. Lots of fond memories. The best rock violin ever. Why they aren't in the rock and roll Hall of Fame is a big question. This song and Dustin, the wind had been played more often on radio than any number one song of that era. Kerry Livgren was a prolific songwriter. Enjoyed her responses.

@@edwardbietsch993 No, "fresh" describing a song that's nearly 50 years old is ironic, especially since we've advanced technically and sonically during that time. Sure the song is timeless. But I was referring to the irony of someone describing a 50 year old song as "fresh." You don't get that too much wirh music of that era. RUSH never sounds dated! And not all new music sounds "fresh" just because you've never heard it before. In the context she was using the term, she was spot on.

I read an interview with Kerry Livgren just a few years after this song was released. He said the lyrics came to him in a dream just before the album was to be released! They stopped the release until they could write the music and record it for release on this album. That is why he states in the song, "I hear the voices when I'm dreaming". That is what actually happened! When he says "There will be peace when you are done", he's referring to the afterlife. He then left Kansas, along with 2 other members of the band, and started a new band called AD. Their music was recorded under a Christian label. Kerry Livgren also became very involved in helping new young Christian bands get their music recorded and produced! It's great to see someone who can appreciate great writing. And this was definitely inspired writing.

Theirs a great documenteray about them on youtube called Miracles Out Of Nowhere.. Long story short is that the singing bearded guy played lots of violin on their material and was the main reason they got a record contract. Don Kirshners old buddy and partner liked the violin on the demo. so they signed them. kirshner put tons of money into the band and was very patient until it finally paid off after a number of expensive albums. Carry On is the one song in which every section is a hook. Amazing story about the writing of It. The blonde haired guitar player wrote it in one evening after being in the studio all day and they recorded it the next day. They thought the album was done at that point but Kerry said I have one more song. It was the huge hit they had been searching for and it just barely made it on the album. His name is Kerry Livgren.

Kansas is one of several bands I've seen in concert more times than I could count. They perform extremely well live. The guy in the background, I assume you liked, the one with the long wavy hair and beard, who only sung and played the tambourine, is actually the group's violinist. A good example of his violin work is in the song Dust in the Wind by Kansas. I remember seeing them in concert in 1976, and during Dust in the Wind, they had fog on the stage, and that guy came up out of the floor through the fog, playing the violin for the song Dust in the Wind.

Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction, Inna, it's a wonderful song! Kansas have lots of deep and meaningful lyrics as befits a prog/classic rock band, plus excellent songwriting and musicianship, so it's definitely a rabbit hole I'd encourage you to go down even though they're not renowned for being a singles band. They do definitely have a unique style which I think you'd definitely appreciate as you like this song. Try another song and see what you think - maybe one of their more proggy tracks like the haunting Lamplight Symphony (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bau6pHuBaMiIhZI). They're currently touring right across the US to celebrate their 50th anniversary and, although only 2 of the original members are still in the band (with very occasional guest appearances by 2 others), their brilliance remains intact.

I love classic rock....older country, progressive and more. As my 6th decade of listening to music is here...I go back time and time again to those artists that knew the power of a well produced melody in instrumentation. Great reaction!

A lot of their songs are hit and miss, but the songs that they "hit" were absolutely brilliant. They had crazy good musicianship and often insightful lyrics. They were a 70s treasure. This song found new life with the 2000s series "Supernatural."

I run his fan group on FB. After his retirement from the band in 2014, Steve still has thousands of dedicated followers. Lyrics were by Kerry Livgren, an absolute genius. He was on a spiritual quest during the early years of Kansas. He felt like the wayward son, and he was seeking a higher power to believe in. It’s not about death. When you are done meant there will be peace when you find Jesus as your savior, which is exactly what happened in Kerry’s life. He became a devout Christian.

I loved your reaction to this awesome band, I grew up with this music but you really made me pay closer attention to these lyrics, I think I have a tendency to pay more attention to the beat and the guitars, but you made me appreciate them even more than I did in the 70's! Thank you Inna!

It is "There'll be peace when you are done." It was adopted by the TV show Supernatural and played to introduce the final episode of every season from 2 onward. They show lasted 15 years, and thanks to Supernatural, Wayward Son has remained associated with the story of the Winchesters and their widely diverse array friends and frenemies. The song reflected the theme of the series, the struggles and strife to find purpose and eventually peace at the end.

I'm glad I found your channel love your reactions, you are beautiful, and I love your accent. You have barely scratched the surface of this band

The fact that you can appreciate the magnitude, and depth of this song says so much about your character. So, now that you've scratched the surface of prog rock, please continue with Styx, Yes, Rush & ELP - and of course, more KANSAS! Great reaction....👏👏👏👏👏

I saw Kansas in 1977. I was selling magazine subscriptions door to door, our group had just got to Greensboro North Carolina, I joined the group in Arizona. 10 of us went to the Kansas concert, it was incredible!. I quit 2 months later when we were going back through Arizona.

I remember the first time I heard this on the radio in 1976, it was the first time I heard of Kansas. I liked it right away and knew it was something special. It's 2023 and it still sounds special.

Back in the 80’s when I was attending college at Texas Tech University in Lubbock Texas, my dad owned 2 “Pants West” stores which were Levi Straus. At the time they sponsored all the major bands and gave us tickets and backstage passes to 90% of the major bands coming thru. It was awesome 👍😎

BTW, the big guy with the big hair and big beard, playing the tambourine was Robby Steinhardt (RIP, he died just over 2 years ago,) who was the violinist for the band, and he was really excellent at it. Some other great songs you might want to check out from Kansas include "Song for America," "Lamplight Symphony," "Icarus (Borne On Wings Of Steel,)" "Miracles Out of Nowhere," "The Wall," or frankly, ANYTHING from "Point of Know Return!"

This is a classic song. I saw Kansas live for the first time in the summer of 1976 when they opened for another great 70s band Bad Company. This song came later that year or the next year. I remember my ex-girlfriend giving my this tape for my birthday in 1977 and they are still a favorite of mine. They had some personnel changes but in my opinion the album with this song and the next album were their peak, at least my they are my favorites.
