Howling at the moon

[@extraordinaryworld4002]

As a kid, the 70's were heaven on earth. We could dream and believe. The music spoke for us all.

[@Beerglass1980]

Well said! Heaven on earth simple times and music had a meaning

[@scottyh8494]

Words can't explain how unique the 70's was. It was magic I can tell you now... It will never be repeated....

[@glass2467]

We absolutely appreciated it in those times, as masterful, creative and deep. I think we're all surprised by the fact that music (and society in general) doesn't have the same depth as before (in general). In other words, maybe we took it for granted that music would continue to expand. But I think we all very much appreciate that younger generations discover and appreciate this older music. It gives me hope.

[@angelagraves865]

Agreed. I feel blessed to have grown up in the 70s and as I see younger people appreciating all the genius music of that era I hope they start demanding better music from artists. I feel like the majority of the music out there these days is pretty insipid.

[@LadybugLuv]

I respectfully disagree! Music like this was normal! And there was so, so, so much of it! 70's, Queen, Led, Stevie Wonder, 80's Prince, MJ, Madonna! We EXPECTED them to blow our minds and they did, every time! I didn't appreciate it fully and long for it until it was gone!

[@glass2467]

@@LadybugLuv This seems like an agreement to me.

[@dianegoldeneye7363]

Agree 💯 with this

[@rff2552]

So true. I'm drawn to reactions that feature our music appreciated by today's generation

[@Teresa7087]

One of the most beautiful rock songs ever! Robbie, the violinist, is superb.

[@dwoehrma]

We had no internet in the 70s. We had to go to the record store and flip through all the records looking for something new or something old. And we bought stuff having no clue if its good or not. The excitement of finding something new by someone you like and going home to listen to it. That doesnt exist today.

[@John_Locke_108]

This is how it was for me in High School except it was the early 90's and it was CD's and tapes instead of records. Every Tuesday me and my buddy would go to Strawberries and afterwards to McDonalds to listen to whatever new gem we found.

[@sparksdrinker5650]

True but the girls back then didn't shave their beavers so nobodys got it perfect

[@retirebear3551]

I am 63 years old. I graduated in 1975. This is my all time favorite song and will be played at my funeral. You must must play some of their other songs, they are so talented. Must play “Carry on my Wayward Son”.

[@bethshadid2087]

Ten years younger but yes mine too on both fronts 🤴🌬️💗🕊️

[@sparksdrinker5650]

You're my boy, Blue!

[@SamBorgman]

46 here. I heard this song in mid 80s probably. And since then it has been at the very top of my favourites. I might steal your idea and have it played on my funeral too. No better song for the occasion.

[@thestranger6648]

I graduated in 84...Funny you have a funeral song...Mine is 'The End' by the Doors...Unfortunately I don't think there will b e anyone there to hear it!!!

[@sjoekiloeki]

I think this was played at many funerals...and caused a lot of wet handkerchiefs as well.

[@2869may]

"One acoustic guitar is amazing... but two are better bro..."

[@zzremington]

Amen...

[@larryparker8677]

One of the best groups ever, with a song that should touch everyone!

[@jamescrane2156]

We knew rock music was great at the time, that's why we spent so much money on concert tickets, home audio systems, car audio systems, albums, cassettes, t-shirts, posters, etc.

[@DeborahThurmond]

I graduated from high school in 1970. It was the best of times and so very appreciated. Can't count the times I have seen Kansas and all the great bands in concert. We lived actual lives back then, not computer generated lives. It was fabulous and we were extremely blessed!

[@MrRebo11]

As someone who was a teen during the 70s I can tell you that we loved and appreciated our music while we had it. I'm 65 now and I still listen to the same music I did in high school.

[@rickfuentes3278]

i graduated 1976. yes - we were spoiled. we expected great music at that time - and we got it. the great musicians & bands delivered, and their music has stood the test of time.

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

I lived in a broken house at the end of a bay with husband and son when this song first aired. In our late 20s we fixed it up for rent. We were poor but this song made us feel rich and happy. Thanks Kansas for lovely memories.

[@willih007]

Dude, trust me, we appreciated it...especially when the 80's came along.

[@k_salter]

that made me LOl, thanks!

[@davidpost428]

absolutely right - that was a decade of listening painfully to what was on the airwaves and the horrendous Disco music,

[@memremacm]

There was so much good music in the 70’s that I think we took it for granted. I appreciate it so much more now than I did then. Love your channel. 🥰

[@ungenerationed9022]

Came here to say the exact same thing! Well done Robyn

[@sylvialee1079]

We absolutely appreciated our music back then! We went to 4 to 5 concerts a month, waited 😟 anxiously for each new release to come out so we could pour over the liner notes, cover art work and the lyrics as the new 🎶 music played over our stereos! It was a whole life experience that can't be explained with mere words.... What has really surprised and delighted me is this sudden surge of your generation discovering all of our music! It's like you have un-buried a lost treasure and brought it into the light for others to discover as well. Thank you, I am so very grateful you are here! ✌ 💕 🎶

[@k_salter]

Waited anxiously for each new release... and Boston gave us soooo much anxiousness. That statement just reminded me of waiting for their 2nd album... FOREVER it seemed. It really was a great time!

[@steveandme63]

Looking back I had no idea experiencing 3+ great concerts a month would ever stop.

[@carlajolly2480]

Concerts cost $7-$10 to attend. We could afford to go to 4-5 shows a month, and this was big bands.

[@thancrow]

I saw them in concert in during the mid to late 70's, an amazing band and beautiful music. R.i.p. Robbie Steinhardt, the violinist in the band.

[@M00159]

We ABSOLUTELY appreciated it!! Then, and even MORE SO now! It wasn’t lost on us. We knew we were living in an absolutely spectacular time with all these awesome rock bands. Going to concerts was a dream come true. Fabulous, fabulous time to be growing up.

[@M00159]

I grew up on the 70's music. And we DID realize how fantastic the music was and. enjoyed the hell out of it! We definitely knew how lucky we were to have this music. And that's why we go back to it again and again.

[@maryscales5747]

This was the best time for music . We enjoyed every minute of listening to our music .

[@Pokvir1]

We knew EVERY TIME with most every concert and every album, it was MAGIC!!! Always the music.. Such wonderful years! We were BLESSED with every note! Still listening! You guy do a great job!

[@dougcrandall7535]

I was a teenage in the 1970's and for me the prevailing attitude was rebellious. Teens were tired of being abused by what was and fought back thru rock and roll, partying, drugs and rebellions. This music inspired and was inspired by the times.

[@audreymoore5743]

I was born mid 60’s…I grew up on 70’s music and still listening to it today. Most people will tell you the best music came from that time period.

[@keithboyer7370]

Dudes, I promise you that we appreciated these boys and their totally unique sound, yes, just as it was happening 45+ years ago. KANSAS fans packed auditoriums all over the world for their concerts, and every new album was anticipated with an eager fervor that rivaled that of any 5-year-old wishing for Christmas. It took years for them to be appreciated on a wider scale when the radio hits started coming but we true fans know that they produced three albums of amazing music before they ever hit the big time. It's therefore terribly gratifying to me to watch this latest generation of music fans discover the magic of KANSAS that us old timers have been jamming to for damn nearly half a century. The entire Leftoverture album is as fine an album as has ever been produced by American rockers, in my opinion. Magnum Opus from that album will blow your minds, guaranteed.

[@careymadigan1457]

I saw Kansas play several times live and they were a tremendous talent....so many great bands in the late 60's thru the 70's...there was a lot of emotion and passion in the people back then because of the two Kennedys being assassinated, Martin Luther Kind being murdered and the whole Vietnam war with the protests

[@sharondavid-melly1498]

We were stunned by the beauty. First time I heard this song I couldn't move. Lots of amazing music helped us get through the death back then and gave us hope.💕✌️

[@cyndianderson7056]

The best music came from the 70s. I was born in the 60s and it was crazy all the creativity blasting out of our radios. 8 track players. Cassette players. So much good music. 🎶 I love you guys. You appreciate good music.

[@michellewhaley3489]

I’m 53 and grew up with this music. We definitely appreciated it back then and still continue to. I saw Kansas live in NYC back in the 80’s. They blew me away. I was supposed to see them again (yup, they are still touring) this past August but COVID put an end to that. I heard they are just as good now as they were back in the 70’s.

[@robertfitterman3777]

Kansas is and was America's gift to progressive rock. A deep rabbit hole guys!!

[@classicrocklady6288]

I agree with Robyn...I'm 66 years old, and grew up with all of this great talent. From singer songwriters to rock...I think we did take it for granted...we thought it would never end. Sadly today's "stars" are not artists, poets, musicians...not even good vocalists...they rely on electronics, lights shows, and skimpycostumed dance routines and call it a concert. I may get some grief for that last part, but I just don't see true talent anymore. So glad you guys are exploring and appreciating what I now know I was privileged to have in my young life! Rock on, guys! Love watching you!

[@rosieb949]

The 70's were magical and we know it.

[@markrouse6665]

Eight track tapes, cassettes, vinyl, we had them all, a great time for growing up. Cruising on Friday night,jams cranking out of your Pioneer deck, Fantastic!!!

[@nidatracy274]

I just saw them in concert 3 years ago and you would even know they changed that they aged. Anything sounded exactly like Kansas. It was magnificenever sent , show a short , but hey , they sounded great , they were just wonderful

[@cherylpereira4216]

I felt free and at peace in the 70's I am very grateful to have been able to grow up with such great music.

[@heyou702pc]

This is a beautiful song played at a lot of funerals. I graduated in 1977. I saw many many great bands and appreciated the music and the songs so much. I loved the 70's and continue to listen to this genre, on a daily bases.

[@rogerharris825]

Oh. We had a fantastic time in the 70's. I was a teenager through most of that decade. The music was simply amazing. So much magnificent music.

[@dermaglowpro1720]

I was 10 years old in '74. All through the late 60's and forward . . . the 70's were a magical dream state of mind. We were so Blessed to live during those times. Rock music touched our minds and our souls.. Love you Bros ! Your reactions are so heartfelt. Love from NJ, USA

[@PeteGeorge]

You appreciate it now more than we did back then because we didn't have the current crap to compare it to. Great reaction. Thanks!

[@k_salter]

And it just makes those times that much sweeter to have lived thru. "Long live rock be it dead or alive!"

[@daxmusix]

Dude, I love you guys. I was a teenager in the middle 70s and heard these great songs as soon as they were coming out, and believe me, my friends and I did not take them for granted. We had the same reaction as you guys, absolutely blown away. The difference is that we had great music around us all of the time, by dozens of high-quality bands. It was an epiphany - nirvana. Keep on rockin ... 😉

[@jewely9757]

I have always been a music lover and songwriter myself, born in 1954. We knew it was good but did not realize how special it was. We fully expected every generation to continue creating unique and beautiful music and this was just ours. “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.”.

[@kathycurtis7037]

I am a child of that era. We were inspired because there was so much strife during those years. These groups gave us hope in humanity

[@hippiejane2683]

We did appreciate it! I was what they called “a transistor sister” which referred to new technology that allowed us to carry around battery powered radios and listen to music all day. The music of the 60s and 70s was just mind blowing and was truly a major part of my life.

[@laurakali6522]

Listening to Casey Kasem’s countdown on my little radio was the highlight of my week.....

[@jennyhagemann9691]

Their will never be music like this again,we had the greatest music EVER and I am grateful you get to experience it.

[@ladyca8366]

It was a magical and wonderful era. I feel blessed to have grown up in the 60's.

[@davidpost428]

It's the music of the sixties and seventies that moved a whole generation. there was a revolution of experimentation and change and protesting the Vietnam War and fighting for Civil Rights and the songs and albums that came out moved us and informed us. We were alive ! We absolutely knew how great the music was: we went to concerts and rocked out. getting high, bought the records as soon as they came out, got big stereo systems and quality headphones Great groups had amazing albums where every song was a hit: you learned that as you played it. You see how energized we were at concerts: how into the music. You guys are getting it and it's great to watch you. Realize that this great music began in the late sixties and carried over into the mid-seventies. Think sixties, not just seventies.

[@sherrelwilson7354]

I grew up in the 70’s..for sure the best decade of music. I, for one, appreciated the music more as I grew older. Songs like this make me homesick for my childhood😢

[@rogerharris825]

The 70's were amazing! So much fantastic music. So many concerts.

[@irishgrl]

The 60’s were great with the folk, protest songs & the British Invasion....but imo, the 70’s was THE BEST era musically. It was the era of anthem rock, guitar gods, spectacular Supergroups like Boston, Journey, Kansas, KISS, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, etc & standout stars like Peter Frampton, Bob Seger & Boz Scaggs...there isn’t room to list (nor can I possibly remember) every artist I grew up with, I just know that in the years since, the music hasn’t moved me quite the same. It’s fun to see young people discover these gems 😊. Congratz on your milestone 👍

[@lesleypalmer4295]

I grew up in the sixties and seventies. You’re right. We were so lucky to have such beautiful music. We took it for granted.

[@Gforceracing20]

The 60's and 70's were the innovators of new musical styles more so than any other decades

[@kyleharwell4373]

KANSAS! Almost every song of theirs has deep lyrics. - "The Wall" - I've requested it to be played at my funeral, whenever that is.

[@west_nebraska_dude4527]

We were very spoiled growing up during the 70's and 80's ... we came to take musical genius like this for granted. I'm now 60 and looking back I absolutely realize how lucky we were. Would love to see you react to Carry on Wayward Son!

[@michelekarl1411]

I’m glad you appreciate this kind of music...I was lucky to hear everything 70s growing up...music today doesn’t even compare

[@bethshadid2087]

This here is one of the most beautiful songs imo and one of my all time favorites 🤴🌬️. Gonna have this playing as my ashes are thrown into the wind 💗🕊️. Spiritually moving.

[@davidelswick6660]

I think we appreciated it, but I think we also assumed that it was the way things would always be and, boy, were we wrong.

[@jamescourtney2318]

You are exactly right!

[@PeteGeorge]

Their best was Carry on wayward son.

[@toddburton6570]

I love the fact that young people like you are investigating and appreciating music from the '60s-'70s-80's and early 90's. That was a rich era for amazing music. Today's music is crap. And filled with hate. That is not supposed to be what it is about. Carry On My Wayward Sons! And thank you!~

[@johnshannon9656]

"How were you feeling"? 1965-1974: headphones and weed.

[@jackarmstrong1838]

I absolutely get CHILLS hearing Steve Walsh's voice and message on this song.

[@grigoriorifiel]

Although we did appreciate it, because it was coming from everywhere, I think most of us just assumed that it would always be that way and would continue to evolve in that direction. When I was a young boy my neighbor was an audiophile, so I got to hear much of the music of the late 60's and early 70's on some top of the line hi-fi equipment. It also inspired me, when I got a little older, to save my own money from working odd jobs to buy my own quality stereo equipment. My house was the place all my friends came to to hang out and listen to music. I was the one who got to turn on many of my friends to some of the greatest music of all time. It is why I enjoy watching reaction videos so much. It takes me back to my room and seeing that look on people's faces when they hear greatness for the first time. Kansas is a band who is often overlooked in spite of their musical and lyrical genius.

[@brendadavenport6068]

My brother and I went to a Kansas Concert in Puerto Rico. I was 17 at the time, many yrs ago It was at the Escambron in San Juan @the beah. It was a dream. 😍🤗

[@andrewcormier529]

An amazing band very different sound unlike any other this song began as a guitar exercise for Kerry livgren who was the main songwriter and lead guitar player He was sitting in his living Room and he use to do this with his guitar for his fingers exercises that's the beginning of the song.This band is very spiritual this was the 1st of many songs they wrote which was basically a story that kerry and what he was going through at that time trying to find his way and search for the answers it seemed like what he wanted and then when he got it wasn't quite sure as you find out in some other music try the wall I think you'll be really taken by this song great reaction guys my class song in 1977 in the state of Maine was carry on our way would Son Good reaction guys keep spreading the music to the people less blessed.

[@jeffhalvorsen5974]

You have seen the softer side. Now it is time to rock. Check out" Carry on Wayward Son." It will set your hair on fire. Truth. Trust. Listen. Great reaction. Be Well.

[@matthewdrake4385]

If you love this one, Carry On Wayward Son will blow your mind. I believe the inspiration for Dust in the Wind was a Native American expression or saying. Kansas ( the United State) is kind of in the west, and there’s countless Native American tribes more in the west. Glad you enjoyed the song. We may speak different languages, but music is universal no matter where you live.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

I was in primary school and later high school in the 1970s ... and we definitely appreciated the good music. But to us, it was simply the music you heard on the radio. That's all we knew. :-) And now we sound like old farts in our rocking chairs, complaining how music back in our day was so much better than music today ... much like how our parents complained how music in the 1970s was too loud and didn't hold a candle to the music when they grew up in the 1940s-1950s. :-) ... Two of Kansas's other big radio hits were "Carry On Wayard Son" and "Point of Know Return," both of which have a faster tempo.

[@karlschmitt6359]

This song started as a picking exercise by Kerry Livgren, a Kansas guitar player and main song writer, but his wife Vicky suggested he make it a song! Boy she was right because this song became a major hit for Kansas and a staple at every Kansas concert! The first 5 Kansas albums: Kansas, Song For America, Masque, Leftoverture, and Point Of Know Return are all masterpieces and should be reacted to! The songs Song For America, Icarus Born On Wings Of Steel, The Wall, Miracles Out Of Nowhere, Point Of Know Return, Portait/He Knew, People Of The Southwind, Hold On, Play The Game Tonight, Windows, Crossfire, Fight Fire With Fire, Absence Of Presence, and Throwing Mountains are all masterpieces to be checked out! Kansas is easily my favorite band from 1974 to the present!

[@nodomesticable]

I always knew it was a beautiful and well written song but I understood it when my mom passed away a year ago. You understand many things and songs when you lose someone.

[@lisamccue1730]

Listening to this music makes me sad for what was. But on a lighter note, my older brother's high school graduating class chose this song as their class song. The school administrators were furious, but the students stood their ground and kept it. They actually played it for their graduation ceremony.

[@Analahoe]

This song would make me cry every time I heard it back in the 70’s. I understand it better hearing it now but it was a much loved song in the 70’s.

[@beccaOC-5634]

Kansas. "Hold On" is absolutely incredible...! Believe me...we appreciate it ... I worked in a record store .. I own most of what you're listening to... including this!

[@tiffanytosh1569]

I absolutely love this song! The vocals and harmonies are spectacular, and the violin is exceptional!

[@ronaldpena8990]

I was born in 58`, so I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Graduated in 76`. It was the best of times, especially for music !

[@2hipachick]

We absolutely appreciated it!! Why do you think we always say today's music doesn't compare to the music from the past.

[@shannonhailey7187]

"I got chills". Yep this song will do that to you. You know a song is good when you get the chills!

[@aileenturrietta7553]

You often ask what it was like to experience the 70's. I was in High school 70 to 74 and yes we did appreciate the music immensely!! Gathering at friends houses to listen to the latest albums.

[@stacyboss3656]

I was a teenager, and loved these bands y’all are listening to. You guys definitely appreciate the talent. Try Rush and Iron Maiden. More great musicians!!!!

[@s.r.345]

I lived thru the 70s you guys think we didn't appreciate the music. I grew up in north east Ohio 60 miles from Cleveland, during the summer months huge concerts would be held at Cleveland stadium 🏟 called the World Series of Rock Pink Floyd was a main and only headliner during one of these shows but also many other bands were at these shows one in particular Kansas and the Rolling Stones together what a show, but back to appreciating the music all these shows would sell out over 80,000 fans these types of concerts happened all over the world. APPRECIATE WE DID, and I'm sure everyone who attended these shows hold those memories deep in their hearts as I do.

[@cherokeemammyof4205]

I'm showing my age but I was approximately 12 years old when this song came out and I loved it from the first time I heard it and I still love it to this day and the best way to listen to it is the way you were listening to it is with headphones

[@wookiespet]

And the qinner of this reaction is George. I could see the emotion on your face as you listened. I'm thinking your probably going to be the one I watch more during thought evoking or emotion driven song reactions. Your emotions are very visible so the watcher can clearly see your comprehension of the material without your saying a word. Top notch reaction both of you. Now if your interested in seeing the fun side of Kansas, pay me a visit. Just kidding if you want to hear more upbeat tune from these guys, check out their song "wayward son" I'm absolutely sure you two will love it.

[@Dee-JayW]

We felt FREE! I graduated high school in 1980 and back packed Europe for 3 months, at 17, 2 naive girls who thought they knew the world. But I can say, best experience of my life, and we were never SCARED. So yes, FREEDOM.

[@jannetkoolman5645]

I was born in 1972, so I’m more of an 80 kid, but even back then I knew their was something special about the 70s. I couldn’t wait to become a teenager and hit the clubs. Ik started clubbing in 1986. Great times

[@waltercobra1566]

the songs from every era are enjoyed and discovered by the fans. You are very lucky to have discovered the 70's music, these bands have had hit after hit for 50 years...selling millions of copies but must important, getting new generations involved.

[@jenniferbabros1985]

Yes we did appreciate every band and song🎵 It was such a FREE TIME

[@lindasulla5302]

Top 10 song in my life. The lyrics, the strings This song always makes me feel good.

[@jodieturner6350]

I remember when it came out. Still awesome now. Thanks✌🎶✌

[@brixico1404]

You guys are absolutely correct the 70s were just loaded with very creative musicians

[@Heatsauce70506]

I was young them but I remember these songs and living these songs. From what I remember it felt like this music. Seemed like it was inventive and moving forward.

[@cmccracken5976]

I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I remember this song well. We didn't have the internet or Spotify back then. Just the radio.

[@RT-mn2pb]

So, in the 70s, yes we did appreciate it. I did anyway. But, it's wonderful, just wonderful to see you guys appreciate it now too. The music, the message, the beauty and depth leaves you just awestruck and thoughtful. I'm glad you guys have the ear to hear the message an meaning in it. For me, it was, and is, a big lesson in humility.

[@stpnwlf9]

This started out as a simple finger-picking exercise for Kerry Livgren (the guitarist on the left) and at his wife's suggestion, he turned it into a song. He and Steve Walsh, the lead vocalist, were the principal songwriters for Kansas but Kerry wrote the most and also the deepest lyrics.

[@kathycurtis7037]

It was fabulous. We loved our music and still do. Peace

[@mollyprice1485]

We didn’t have internet or even computers, no cell phones, only 3 channels on tv, so all we had was music, and it wasn’t portable. We had records. Listening to records with people we loved was an event. It really meant something, and the music that was made reflected that.

[@zincwick99]

You ask how it felt in the 70's. London UK. We had rock, folk, glam rock, reggae, punk,. Multi music multi culture a feeling that thing were changing. These were our poets and makers and dreamers. But dust in the wind.

[@denomane7962]

We had so many really, really good bands in the late 60's , and 70's . At that time we didnt understand the effect that they would have for generations to come . I was a teenager in the mid to late 70's and it was wonderful . Grab some buds and some brews , head to the bottoms and throw down . The center piece to all this was the great music ................... AC DC , THE ROLLING STONES , BOSTON , KANSAS , LED ZEPPELIN , BAD COMPANY , STYX , PINK FLOYD , LYNRD SKYNRD , AEROSMITH , THE STEVE MILLER BAND , KISS , FLEETWOOD MAC , THE WHO , DEEP PURPLE , BLACK SABATH , THE EAGLES , THE YARDBIRDS , ZZ TOP , THE DOOBIE BROTHERS , ELO , JETHRO TULL , MOLLY HATCHET 38. SPECIAL, FOREIGNER AND QUEEN JUST TO NAME A FEW . CHECK OUT FOREIGNER -DOUBLE VISION , THE STEVE MILLER BAND -THE JOKER , BOSTON-SMOKIN ,MOLLY HATCHET-FLIRTIN WITH DISASTER JUST FOR A START . ENJOY THE TUNES GUYS .

[@timandmonica]

I don't know if you are appreciating the song more now than we did or not, but it really did capture the culture's attention at the time. There was just nothing like it. Not only were the lyrics incredibly deep, introspective, and spiritual, they somehow wrote music that was the exact equivalent of the lyrics, just in musical form. You could hear the music without the vocals and still have an internal sense of what they were trying to communicate. It has remained a classic after all these years so there is definitely something special about it!

This is about humility. In the context of eternity, we and our material possessions are as insignificant as dust. More "Kansas" requests: "Song for America", "The Wall", "Child of Innocence", and "Icarus (Borne On Wings of Steel)".

It was wonderful being in middle school and high school in the 70's. I think then I did take this music for granted a bit, but honestly, it's what we were surrounded by. We had the great music from the 50s and 60s as well to listen to as our "old school" music. It was a great time to be into music.

They definitely did not try and hide behind much 'Metaphor' did they? Profoundly simplistic, yet convey an ultimate 'Truth' within ALL of us. Just ST8 to the ultimate reality of ALL our lives.. We are All but Dust In The Wind'.. I'm getting 'Up There' in age, mid-upper 50s and i can remember when this song 1st 'Hit Me' i was at the age where i was just starting to smoke weed etc. This song always impacted me and i shortly thereafter stopped smokin etc. And this song had a part in my reasoning to do so... Loved Kansas ever since, they shall always have a piece in my heart.. God Bless..
