Kansas - Dust in the Wind Reaction | Rere Reacts

[@davidpritchard5539]

What you described about this song giving you a sudden realization is exactly the effect this song has had on millions for over 40 years.

[@johncole282]

I was a teenager when this music came out it’s incredible how short your live is I ll be dust soon and I’m glad my best days were the 60, 70, and 80s it was great times

[@richardvarnish8506]

You would like their more up-tempo hit song 'Carry on Wayward Son', the live version, with over 100 million views, which really rocks

[@randyobrien2836]

Welcome to my world. The thing that’s cool is the first time I heard this song I was about the same age as you hearing it for your first time.

[@davids2096]

I think the meaning of the song is that we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and that we will return to being dirt and dust! At the same time, we are very significant, because as you said, we are all a collective unit that has a much greater purpose, that may be enigmatic now, but may be revealed in the future! Whether we live in a simulation, or if this is just an illusion, a dream of some kind, we still experience and feel life whatever the actual reality of it all is! Be kind, be safe and take care!

[@PaulWalker-hz6zp]

I recommend "Carry on Wayward Son". There is also a more recent version of Dust in the Wind with a full Orchestra that is a great listen! I enjoy your reactions very much!

[@Laura_Martin42]

I never left home without this 8-track, one of my favorite driving tapes back in the day!!

[@JimMurrah]

Seen them in 1977 and again in 2023. Still great in concert. What powerful lyrics. Love every song they have. I never tire of listening to their music.

[@roccaclassico9028]

The band was formed in the city of Topeka in the state of Kansas in the U.S.A. Many say that this song is sad, but I think it's a beautiful contemplation on humility. One may take pride in accumulated material possessions, but ultimately we all physically end up as dust. Other KANSAS songs I recommend are: "Carry On Wayward Son", "Song for America", "The Wall", and "Miracles Out of Nowhere".

[@megaroli]

Such a classic if there is one. I wasn’t even a teenager when I first heard this song. Beautiful song.

[@kevinkaurin8383]

Excellent comments Rere! This group made it cool that I play the Violin and like Rock Music lol. They became more Radio friendly later, but early on they where part of the 'Prog' movement - Progressive Rock. It was very intricate, but not something that you would hear on the Radio, "a broad genre of rock music that emphasizes experimentation, ambitious compositions, and virtuosity. It originated in the United Kingdom in the mid-to-late 1960s and peaked in the early 1970s". I like both generations of their music.

I've been watching a lot of your reactions and appreciate your thoughtfulness, intelligence and sweet personality. Now I'm subscribed.

[@timabbymiller3457]

My mom heard me playing this song when my step-dad was on hospis and had it played at his funeral 😒. Best response 👏.. Good job hun..

[@kenhavens9559]

Such a great song and band from the 70s. I hope you're reacted to Carry on Wayward Son. 😊

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I have lived in Kansas for most of my life, and while the boys in the band or older than me, they lived in the capital city of Kansas, Topeka, about a half an hour west of me. My first year at college, my roommate was from Topeka and kind of had a connection with those guys through his church or something, so we even had some of their hand-me-down band equipment incorporated into his massive audio file stereo system. They had a bunch of incredible prog rock but really accessible rock hits. Check out their hit song Point Of No Return from their iconic album, Point Of Know Return. It's a great story and the musicianship and singing is just off the charts..

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

I felt every small expression. Quite wonderful ❤❤❤

[@toneman501]

You closed your eyes for a moment ... but only for a moment , ... Then the moment was gone...

[@stevenewcomer8837]

At the end of the song, “Down Together”, by the Refreshments, Roger Clyne says this phrase; “We could find a speck of dust and scribble down our life story.”. That is how insignificant we are in the big scheme of things, yet in our own lives and our families we are EVERYTHING.

[@lodi7696]

I saw them in concert a couple of times back then.... Great band. Great concerts....

[@ThistleAndSea]

Love this song. It hit hard in the 70's.

[@COOLVIDEOS]

Thanks for your reaction and for sharing your thoughts on what it meant to you. Beautiful song! Amazing lyrics - one that hit me when I first heard it - “All your money won’t another minute buy“. Which, as you were saying, sometimes people focus on money for the wrong reasons but in the end we’re all the same. We all come into the world the same and we all have a limited amount of time here. Thanks again - really enjoy your reactions! Wishing you all the best from Canada!

[@randyg.1836]

The band Kansas is a very talented bad that has a good catalog of songs. 😊

[@randallshuck2976]

That all was raised from dust and will return to dust. For most of us we will not exist even in memory after four generations. Their song "People of the South Wind" or "Point of Know Return" expand on the theme. They were local boys who related to the open and empty prairies where we live. The high prairies have an effect on most folks. One of the main causes of suicide among the early settlers wives was the isolation and unrelenting wind. From the southwest in summer then northwest all winter.

[@ploppill34]

Earth is literally dust in the wind

[@stevetanner3019]

You should check out Kansas (named after the U.S. state) other big hit but much rockier “Carry On Wayward Son”. ❤️ from 🇨🇦

[@mattlaeff724]

Widely known as the greatest song of all-time

[@jenniferjohnson319]

This song was very popular back in the day. For many of us, I think just good memories.

[@lbh002]

Anyway you say it is correct.

[@brianhildreth9099]

Thank you!!!!

[@mattplus09]

Wonderful stuff...thanks! Good journey :) Peace!

[@natejames6867]

Great content. Keep it up. ✌

[@jamescrane2156]

Al Stewart - Year of the Cat. Studio version.

[@SIXX2772]

We say it all three ways here in the States. lol.....They are Angels caught in time.

[@danielbenincasa770]

Saw them live... they are so bad ass. Kansas is named after the U.S. State of Kansas....

[@davidfischer1138]

Thank you😊

[@josephmaestas5915]

DONT WORRY SWEETIE YOU SAID THE NAME RIGHT --KANSAS IS THE NAME OF THE BAND LOVE YOUR REACTIONS

[@JimFlickinger]

They had such great music back then and I'm glad it was in my college years!! Like your reactions. Need to listen to Carry on my Wayward Son! A bit different than this one......

[@firemedic5100]

The late 60s and 70s had the greatest music. I grew up in the late 50s. But the music didn't grow up until the late 60s through the 70s.

[@RadioJammor]

You have a nice world view. I hope you can keep hold of it.

[@timtravasos2742]

Interesting outlook on our misuscule but common existance and shared likeness in the end

[@6anthony8]

I was about 11 years old when I heard this song

[@OrangeMonkey2112]

70’s rock had a lot of American city names: Kansas, Boston, Chicago and such. Funny thing is they were all great lol.

[@DavidTrippi-fp9yg]

All we are is dust in the wind

[@willlong8942]

You're wise.

[@ralphsims3101]

You need to hear Wayward Son

[@wendymartin4892]

Strangely comforting song... based on a verse from the Bible... do your best, but don't hang on...all your money won't another minute buy... thank goodness 😊

[@Tbirdhaynes]

CAN-SAS IS THE PRONUNCIATION. It is a State here in America

[@robertcarvey1832]

This song is kind of a departure from the majority of Kansas songs. I would suggest Carry On Wayward Son or Miracles Out Of Nowhere or The Wall to get a truer example of Kansas.

[@lisahaverluk4037]

Gotta do Wayword Son😂❤🎉😢😮😮😮😮😮😅😮😢😢😢😢❤❤😂😊

[@williammcdonald2392]

Kansas is a US state.

[@250g1ok]

React oasis wonderwall ❤️

[@brucewatts8447]

The difference between this music and modern music is that the song is about something. Modern music isn't a story it is just a beat and meaningless lyrics.

[@kenhavens9559]

Have you heard of Spotify? 😊 There is a lot of wonderful music being made over the past 10 years. Find some songs you like and the let the Spotify algorithm do the rest. Good luck!

[@waynegilbert-gq2ef]
