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.

[@georgehollingsworth2428]

Yes. As you thought, Kerry Livgren who wrote this song was saying that there would be peace when he died. He was one of the most profound lyricists of the day. I sae them do this live in 1977 and it was a high point of my life.

[@nupraptorthementalist3306]

Can you ever do The Strawbs - The Hangman and the Papist? Some day perhaps.

[@pluckinmageetar]

How ironic. You hear an iconic prog-rock anthem from 1976 (almost 50 years ago) and you refer to it as "fresh." And you're sooo right. I was there when it came out and it's still as fresh today as it was back then. One of the GOAT Rock songs ever!

[@robertboston7872]

I feel the same always feels fresh and uplifting even 47 years later

[@discinmike]

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.

[@marcieharreld286]

Perfectly said!!!🤘🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵🔥🔥🔥😉

[@edwardbietsch993]

It IS "fresh" to her, and others, more appropriate words to a wider audience may be timeless and iconic.

[@pluckinmageetar]

@@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.

[@ronaldleach9899]

Glad you enjoyed it. Dust in the wind is another one that has great lyrics. ❤ 🎶

[@DRAONWEED]

Dust in the wind will put a knot in your throat.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

@@DRAONWEED But that song is so true isn't it? All we are is dust in the wind. Same, Old song....Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind. Now don't hang on Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. It slips away.....And all your money won't another minute buy

@@davidhutchinson5233 👍 Like I said, that song will put a knot in your throat.

[@rebeccalipps23]

Oh, yes! "Dust in the Wind" is the quintessential thinking person's Rock, plus it allows for 'air violin' pantomime.

[@streetfit909]

Yes!

[@jamesb2034]

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.

[@kevinehle6637]

One of the most famous iconic rock songs of all time. So much brilliance went into this song. Love Kansas. They are a unique band.

[@danwesterhouse6627]

They truly were iconic. Not another band out at the time sounded like this. So many different instruments and vocals. Vastly underrated.

[@michaelsoper3610]

If I were them, I would take it as a point of pride not to be in that political clusterfuck.

[@samuelharvey3496]

Rush are in the R&R HOF (whatever that means) LUL. Alex Lifeson gave the best speech ever when inducted - FACT

[@nascarmadman]

Should be just about everybody. Boston and Styx also dissed. I call it the Hall of SHAME!

[@paulrosenberg4227]

Foreigner this year is an example of what's wrong with the HOF

[@LibertyOrDeath-ms5rf]

Boston and Toto are also not in! So Boston, Toto, and Foreigner(who just got inducted) all say the reason they aren't in is because a personal beef with guys who run it! The lead singer from Boston said they will never get with current people running it cause they hate the lead singer. Guitar player from Toto said they hate their guts and will never get in. Foreigner lead singer said he gave up on it and was surprised he got in cause they also hated him. Kansas, Toto, and BOSTON not in the Hall. What a joke...

[@simonpanter3627]

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.

[@yambo59]

I grew up in the 70's and Kansas was just one of the classiest rock bands that didnt just play music they told stories and imparted ideas - theyre lyrics and overall polished musicianship made them a true gem of the era.

[@itatsiutirra]

Thank you Supernatural for making me love Kansas

[@vals_loeder]

Kansas is an awesome band with some truly fantastic musicians. Their songs are always a kind of adventure to listen to. I love them.

[@melprophet1936]

The guy with the big hair and beard who was playing the tambourine and singing background is Robby Steinhardt who frequently played violin for the band. Best example of that is Dust in the Wind, which is one of their most famous tunes. I think he died in 2021.

[@jakerazmataz852]

There will never be music like the 70's and early 80's again. Thankful I was a teenager then.

[@gregcissell345]

This song came out in 1976. Another cool thing about this band is all of them can play multiple instruments and all of them are phenomenal singers. The red headed guy is Robby Steinhardt.

The song came from the soundtrack of an ANTI-WAR movie (Vietnam) HEROES: 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.

[@abidababida7096]

these guys were so good, so rehearsed and so tight as a band that they sounded just like their albums when they played live.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Guitarist Kerry Livgren wrote the song, stating that it was about his personal journey of encouragement to always seek for a better, more fulfilling life. Thanks for your reaction.

[@macmcminn4726]

Hold ON is what I consider their overall greatest song, another Livgren masterpiece. The band without question, should be in the R&R hall of Fame

[@jodytollefson7187]

This song was also used in the TV show Supernatural that went for like 15 seasons.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Seasons finale opener!! Hoping that there was a chance she may have recognized it from there.

[@paulrosenberg4227]

RIP The guy in the back...Robbie was a world class violinist and vocalist, and key to the Kansas sound.

[@chrisbricky7331]

Great reaction and thanks for sharing. The songwriter and composer for this was Kerry Livgren, he is the very blond guitarist and pianist on this song. The lead singer is Steve Walsh, he also played organ and bongo drums. The big red headed man is Robbie Steinhardt, he plays violin and tambourine, he is also the second lead singer. Other songs to listen to: 'Dust in the Wind'; 'The Wall'; 'Closet Chronicles'; 'Circle of Iron'; 'Hold On'; 'Point of Know Return'; 'Lightning's Hand'; and so many, many others. Chris

[@jmwsr474]

All of those are very EXCELLENT songs. Closet Chronicles is one of my favorites from any band.

"Dust in the Wind" is my favorite Kansas song. Very lyrical with a pretty deep meaning but also a very short song. How about that lead singer? Singing, playing the Organ and not sure of the right name but Bongos or Hand Drums. Pretty darn talented.

[@mistymichele3771]

When she passed,my grandmother had made me promise to play Dust in The Wind at her service. And I definitely did.

[@ExitiumNL]

This is indeed a song from the 70's, and an absolute classic rock song. Another great one from them is 'dust in the wind'. I'll link it on Discord, as well as a song from Boston from the same year as this one. Both songs I loved ever since I was a kid :)

[@stpetie7686]

Since you asked, the guy in the background who sang back up and played tambourine is actually the violinist. Check out Dust in the Wind to see/hear. The lyrics are key to it.

[@orlandoaabello3274]

great reaction girl nice for my taste

[@scottc1200]

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.

[@nascarmadman]

The blond guy you were looking at is Kerry Livgren. He was the heart and soul of the original band having written most of the songs. And yes, a 70s band.

[@davidgribikcpa]

Sparks of the Tempest by Kansas is beyond prophetic. A lyrical masterpiece.

[@Ronald60202]

One of the great concerts of my youth was in 1976 at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. Yes was the headliner and Kansas opened for them. I was in absolute heaven.

[@Scot_WestTexas]

I’m lucky to have grown up in the 70’s and 80s. The concerts were awesome

[@donnaerickson2021]

They are all beyond amazing. The lead singer and lightning-fast keyboardist, Steve Walsh, is a mega example of talent, with one of the most powerful voices in the history of rock music. 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.

[@markp6062]

There will be peace when you are DONE (not gone). It's a promise of peace as the seasons of life unravel and we grow into maturity and, eventually, old age. OH! Just wait til you see that big fluffy guy play the Violin! 🥰Kansas is my favorite band of it's era. Very thoughtful and complex music. Lots to hear from them. have fun!

[@Rajgitaa]

Another great song from them is the second song on this album, which is after this song, called "The Wall". The lead singer, Steve Walsh, has an incredible voice.

[@richardmodglin3900]

Melodic music and notes have always resonated so good with me. Bright, warm and beautiful melodic notes that instantly start healing to the mind and soul. Melodic music lightens the load fast! Melodic music is inviting in nature and re-energizes its listener in short order. It promotes positivity and well being instead of just a diversion of entertainment. 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!

[@BlazinRiver1]

I first saw Kansas in 1975 when they opened for Aerosmith. There were a whole lot of new Kansas fans after that night.

[@quentinmichel7581]

Ahhh the 70's.... back when I had hair 😁 This song also became the "unofficial" official theme song for the tv show SUPERNATURAL.

[@ben_dornie]

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.

[@MichaelChadwell-x9x]

Fyi the lead singer Justin Hayward wrote this song when he was just 19 years old, without question one of the great classics of all time.

[@tommarks3726]

God bless the 70's. lol This is one of my 3 favorite songs in the world. Us and Them Pink Floyd and Alan Brothers Whipping Post. Still listen to all 3 every night at work. Glad you dug the song.

[@wadsworthaaron]

It's from the late 70s when Kansas was at their peak. Kansas rode the line between folk rock, prog rock, and what we call today 'class rock' (blues-based electric rock & roll). 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."

[@markd5067]

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Kansas is a great band. They had a little difficulty transitioning from the 70's to the 80's -- some of their "radio-friendly" songs were a bit thin, compositionally/lyrically -- but they have always kicked ass in concert and they have a ton of amazing songs to check out!

[@LibertyOrDeath-ms5rf]

The guy who wrote the song(guitar player)is a christian and in a documentary he talks about trying to come up with a song and he said this basically beamed right into his head. It was given to him and he just wrote it out! That it basically got downloaded into his head. When you listen to the words it fallows very closely to Jesus's parable of "The Return of the Prodigal Son" in Luke 15. I think it is the best rock song of all time or at least has the best guitar riff of all time. It's crazy to find out bands like Kansas, Boston, Toto and Foreigner(who actually just got inducted in 2024) are not in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame! Some of the biggest rock bands of all time...Great video!

[@justjack0715]

I think it is there will be peace when you are “done” not gone.

[@lauradetjen1573]

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.

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!"

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 👍😎

Prog-rock. Everything they did was great. They're still putting out great stuff.

Thanks!

Thank you so much 💕

Good to see… one of my favorites in those days… I am 65 now. This, together with Pink Floyd, Yes, Ten Years After, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, The Who and a few more) filled my growing up with a rather wide (classical music, jazz, rock among others) variety of music. My youngest son (30 in a month) often tells me he is ‘a bit sorry he didn’t grow up un those days. I do understand this.

First heard this in the 3 legs pub in Leeds in 1976 on the way to watch a Leeds United game. Loved it ever since. This is how you write the perfect song .❤

no supernatural fan would not know this song, my heart gets pumping every time i hear it

[@randyrobey5643]

I still have a copy of the LP this song is on. I bought it new when the LP came out.

The guy with the huge hair playing the tambourine is Robbie Steinhardt their violin player, he's just not playing the violin in this song. Robbie also sings lead vocals on some songs. Kansas is progressive rock along with groups like Rush and Yes. Please react to more of Kansas because they've been my favorite since 1974 and their song catalog is huge! If you want to start with the first album try Can I Tell You, Lonely Wind, and Journey From Mariabronn. The album Song For America with Song For America and Incomudro-Hymn To The Atman. The album Masque with Icarus Borne On Wings Of Steel and The Pinnacle. The album Leftoverture with Carry On Wayward Son (which you've already listened to), The Wall, Miracles Out Of Nowhere, What's On My Mind, all of side 2 the whole album is a masterpiece. Point Of Know Return with Point Of Know Return, Dust In The Wind, Portrait/He Knew, Closet Chronicles, Lighting's Hand, Sparks Of The Tempest, Nobody's Home. The Monolith album with People Of The Southwind and On The Other Side. The album Audio Visions with Hold On, Relentless, and Got To Rock On. After Audio Visions Steve Walsh, their main lead vocalist, left and John Elefante(whom I like as well) became their lead vocalist with the album Vinyl Confessions and Drastic Measures. I like most of the songs on Vinyl Confessions like: Play The Game Tonight, Chasing Shadows, Windows, and Crossfire. On Drastic Measures both Steve Walsh and Robbie Steinhardt are gone. Drastic Measures doesn't sound like classic Kansas, but it has a few good songs like: Fight Fire With Fire, End Of The Age, and Incident On A Bridge. The albums after Drastic Measures I'm unfamiliar with until you get to Prelude Implicit and Absence Of Presence; both are stellar albums with Ronnie Platt on lead vocals, David Ragsdale on violin. Thank you for reacting to Carry On Wayward Son and Dust In The Wind, but as you can see they have quite a bit to choose from! I hope choose to react and start from the first Kansas album from 1974. Thank you!

I saw then July 4, 1976. Actually it was Kansas, Bob Segar and Kiss. Loved your reaction.

[@RobertLofrano]

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

[@michaelkpate]

This was a staple song for those of us attending high school in the early 1980s. Always fun to watch someone reacting to it for the first time 40+ years later.

[@davidbarr49]

Another Kansas song you might like is their "ghost story" song called Lamplight Symphony. It also talks of lost love.

[@michaelbeers5034]

Literally my favorite band of all time! There lyrical compositions and incredible talent and voices have always memorized me ❤️🤘

[@bobshipman3245]

You are just so sweet in the way you are so excited about this music! 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!

[@shawnlowrance6528]

Nice reaction. Glad you liked it. The lyric you referred to is actually " there'll be peace when you are done" not gone as you said. Meaning he will have peace in end of what he is going through. Hope this helps.

[@GloryCarrier22]

Such a great band and it’s fantastic to see them enjoying every moment of showcasing their talent and craft!!

[@markmatthews4481]

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.
