Kansas - Dust In the Wind

Filmed in 1977 by my dad, this music video nearly became "dust in the wind" until it was restored from its failing 8mm format.

[@vivablue32]

I'm 14 , and the crap we have today is nothing compared to the awesome music there was in the 1970's and 1980's

Hello 12 years later 👋 😊 what has changed?

You're Spot On Young Man!

[@lesliexo2315]

Your intelligent

[@rockymahatava5250]

Been watching this video for years. There is nothing like it.

[@wendyfaubus1017]

Probably one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@spuds6423]

Supposedly Livgren wrote it in his darkest days

[@RandyR]

Means even more now. My mom died from cancer 10 weeks ago. My brother a year ago and my dad 9 years ago. Plus many others. Keep reminding myself that they are in a much better place. But, I have to deal with the pain and the loss 😪

[@pixie77531]

so sorry for you loss

[@TheLuckiNeko]

That's rough, dude.

[@TheZmeisterr]

Good old rock n' roll brought me here No films No ads No TV shows Just rock n' roll

[@Zlouie123]

I lost a great friend recently. He was 18. This makes me miss the good times we had in highschool. I miss the good ol' days. Most of all, I miss you buddy.

[@pbailey232]

Really sorry for your loss sir. I know how you miss him. I had a songwriting buddy lost back in 1994. I think of him him often.

[@YolandaApagyi]

This is a song that makes you cry, as it opens your heart and soul. This should be the aim of art, and especially of music, even if you do not understand the language, it is sung, it goes right to your Heart, and makes you cry and REMEMBER the times of your Life! A BIG THANK YOU FROM HUNGARY! Yolanda, who feels all right the song...

[@MrT5mustang]

I can not help but think about " where these people are today" Who they became and how many are still with us. I am a person who can relate to this video. Class of 1979. Lots of memories in this clip!

[@drewrosecrans9728]

Takes me back to growing up in the ,70s it reminds me of my home town Alhambra CA everything was simply & carefree im 56 now! But this video makes u realize how precious life is& short!!! Awesome concept video!! Excellent thanks for being here!

[@NormusJohnson88]

I'm an OLD man. I still love Kansas

[@joaquimmartinherrerias3978]

Que buenos tiempos me trae hoy tengo 71 años y me recuerda mis vente que epoca mas preciosa los 70

[@Romanrt-tv3zl]

Tan solo somos esos 😔

[@gummipuppet242]

still the best video of Dust in the Wind.

[@tmr3513]

I saw these guys at the Forum in L.A. after this album came out. When they started playing this song the crowd went nuts!! Toward the end he stops singing for just a moment. The entire audience was singing the song along with him!!!

[@1955Cal]

Great job on the video, I really enjoyed it. I'm from that era too and getting closer to being dust in the wind. I was 22 in 1977, man that went fast, but they were good times.

[@olgagooddolls]

Наверное, это лучший видеоряд для песни под названием "Dust in the wind". Спасибо вам! Это на 100% лучше, чем официальное видео.

[@WCcompanyyy]

this is so beautiful .. full of nostalgia and beautiful memories ..

[@gulhakim2950]

[@iamsheila56]

I have no words to tell you how much it means to see a video for this - one of the most memorable songs of my whole life. I closed my eyes on the first note and whispered the words along with the video, then replayed the whole video. I am so glad this was found and rescued! What a beautiful "fit" - your dad did a great job. Tell him I said so! ♥ & Blessings to both & to Kansas, also!

[@etylerwright1]

I love film. It has a dream-like quality to it that digital will never know in its existence.

[@jacobwakup]

Wow, I was just blown away by this video. Never been so moved. Kudos to your father and thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world.

[@JanKnutsonGuitar]

I had the privilege to see Kansas live yesterday. It was amazing. The musicality was unbelievable, and the band does not get as much credit as the deserve. I also had the opportunity to go backstage with them. i talked to guitarist Rich Williams and violinist David Ragsdale. They were the nicest guys! Anyways, without these guys, I wouldn't have picked up a guitar at all.

[@windk100]

Amazing story, and RIP David Ragsdale. I met one of my first guitar heros, Brian Setzer, following a concert with his Orchestra in Columbia Missouri. I mostly play the bass now but once in while, the guitar.

[@Stifterable]

yesterday my friend...12 years ago. time stands still at this place on youtube :D greetings from austria. this was the first song i`ve heard on youtube, 2007

[@DIONISIOSTSOURAKIS]

This song is a part of my life,all my best memories since i was a child.wish i could turn back in time

[@Freddytexxx]

the song, incredible, no doubt about that. But if you can make a clip so simpel like this and stil move people, you have got to have something speciale in you. big respect for that dad of yours!! greets from belgium

[@Nytillia]

This was very nice! Props to your dad for making this and to you for saving it from being lost. Very cool video, along with this amazing song.

[@piroskaracz3621]

Beautiful. I was 24 in 1977. Loved it then love it more now

[@alhuggins3646]

just one of the many great songs from that time. not only were those times where so many people just wish they could go back to, but also wish the music was the same today. a much better place in the world at the time and the music meant something so much different too.

[@Midnightrose2467]

Al Huggins​ 👍

[@alhuggins3646]

***** cheers......

[@b0wnguyen316]

Beautiful. Even after all these years.

[@konradkozerawski8461]

I jus wanna say that this is how i found this song 15 Years ago in my Homeland - Poland. Young hippie with Dreams. Now I am 30 yo Rocker touring Europe and USA playing in ADAM BOMB. In hard times I want to listen to this song. It keeps me calm and distanced to all Mortal stuff. I am always going to yt and after all those years I could not imagine "Dust in the wind" Without this beautiful video. Say thanks to Your Dad Wherever he is. -Kozzy Havokk

[@emisariodelosgorgonitas3793]

Este video es mil veces mejor que el original, representa con exactitud el mensaje de la canción... Gran trabajo...

[@DyannJaxon]

For not being the "Official Video" from Kansas, you sure got a lot (over 9 mil) likes. Your dad did an outstanding job. Kudos

[@tatumcairo2031]

@Keenan Aden no problem :D

[@dustinlamb7941]

I’m glad to still see this video here.

[@hansvandegriendt4943]

Best song ever and since I saw this clip it will allways be the version I like the most.

[@SuperDsffdsf]

amazing song never gets old!

[@brian5o]

I love this song. Whenever I want to listen to it, this is the video I watch. Thank you so much for making it. It shares the meaning behind the song more than anything that Kansas or their record label could ever produce.

[@kfrdrck]

It's so awesome that your father's video was nearly lost to time, but now over 7,850,000 people have viewed it! Love that modern technology makes the past so much more accessible :)

[@Alicebabyboom]

Thanks to your father. My emotions goes 400/mph Great video...

[@eddohan]

That slow? *grins

[@jbman413]

Ps: This my favorite music video of all time. Reminds me of my High School sweetheart who helped me get over perhaps the worst period of my entire life as well as her Church youth group including the adults (Melvin and Gay Gray) being baptized in Corpus Christ. Excluding my wife and children. 1977 was the best year of that era. I am so grateful to have been born when I was born. Yes we had hell on earth, but I fear the worst is now and perhaps to come. Most of the advancements today have been of no gain. Yeah I use them to....

[@SOSPOTIRAGUA]

Uma das músicas mais bonitas de todos os tempos.

[@justmadeit2]

A very deep song. Listen to the words

[@gairid]

I love the song for its own sake, but also for the time it brings back, lost youth and innocence. I love this song.

[@josephgillette3278]

All the years together, lots of good and bad time, I really loved you with my heart and soul, now your dust in the wind, you were great to me baby I could not ask for a better girl, you being killed in that car destroyed my life if you only new how many nights I cry over you even now. I love you nick even through your not here. I'm hurt so bad about you, I ask god why but I never a reply, I know you would not want to see me this way, I wish it was me not you. I guess we are dust in the wind, R, I, P baby your all my dreams, I do love you and will never, never, forget you.

[@joelt4416]

I really wish I could go back and live during this time.

[@SueDNim]

I did. And believe me, I wish I could do it again. Everybody says the music of their generation was the best, but I really believe it.

[@pbailey232]

@@SueDNim Kansas had and still has some of the best music ever recorded. They have many more songs like this one with lyrical depth and scope.

[@rockymahatava5250]

Great video wish i could shake of all your hands. I watched this video for years and years. Will continue to until my last breath.

[@kre9]

Man, its shame youtube lists this so far down now, even the family guy one is higher, should be the official video smh

[@darkenpire6089]

a films of memory is never useless.....

[@jimrelph7963]

My wife, her brother and I seen Kansas in summer of 78 in Folsom stadium in Boulder CO. When DITW played some skydivers jumped out of plane way above the field. Was a super day. My best friend passed away 16? years ago this song was played at his funeral. The pastor who officiated, gave a great message incorporating the words of the song. The man who wrote it was led to be a Christian after it became popular.

[@telioable]

Mergulho interior, contemplando o coração, se espantando com a solidão, contruindo, desconstruindo, repaginando. Lindo, bizarro, mutante, inesgotável como a vida...

[@itzapro]

I used to love this song, but then I took a arrow in the knee and i love it even more

[@tafoya1976]

I am only 35 years old but this song as well as many others by many other artists have been a major part of my life for as long as i can remember. I listened to them growing up and i still listen to them. My children listen to them as well. There is a lot to be said and heard in the lyrics of these musicians from the 60-70's. Music these days lacks true content. there is no depth or true meaning. I have noticed lately that a new-old trend in music is coming back.

[@SapphosGalPal]

I close my eyes Only for a moment and the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes with curiosity Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see (Aa aa aa) Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Oh, ho, ho Now don't hang on Nothin' last forever but the earth and sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind (All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind (In the wind)

[@TheRampeg]

old school brought me here , R.I.P BLUE

[@AI5AASIA]

Love this video. I first came upon it a couple of years ago when I heard Dust in the wind for the very first time! Wow where have I been that I missed this....I was 12 in 1977, but I guess that music wasn't being played in my world. Anyway I love it now and it came to mind this morning as a friend has just finished an 8 week 20,000km bike ride through the USA, he had been sending fantastic pictures of his trip on a daily basis and I'm inspired to do similar trip before I become dust in the wind.

Great film - 1977 was my graduating year, and 'Dust In The Wind' was THE song. You'd put on the headphones and drift off with the lyrics - or park down by the beach and turn up your brand new Pioneer car stereo system. Thanks for the trip through the aisles of my aging memory (the film made it all real again).

[@SueDNim]

Cheers. I was a year behind you. This was one of the (many) defining songs of my life.

[@DavidfromBA]

Great video. Even though the people and setting were obviously not the same, this takes me back to countless "frozen in time" moments from my own childhood and adolescence. Definitely stirs feelings of melancholy and contemplation; beautifully done.

[@olajuwonspears9448]

Found this song years ago this video to be specific was my first exposure to it I always come back thankful for you uploading this. Everytime I'm low this song definitely helps

I was there in the moment. Went to this concert. Saw all these dreams and now just feel the dust. It's never coming back. Thanks for the memories.

Nice that you were able to restore this film. So much of our past will not be preserved like this, unless people like you keep up this type of effort. My parents had 8mm put onto some VHS tapes, and now it is up to me to have them digitized or they will be lost forever! Thanks for reminding me that I need to do that.

When I was young I did not understand these words as now . A young person sometimes has a false sense of self importance but the years have a way of revealing the truth . From dust we come and so we return . Very cool song and always was ---also a very good video .
