I had a best friend who committed suicide when we were teenagers in the 1970's. They played this song at his funeral. Whenever I hear this song I think of him.

1977, this song was played on every radio station, no matter the genre. Brings back happy memories of my childhood

A Kansas Song that showcases their harmony ability is "Carry on my Wayward Son"..........

Absolutely awesome song. They actually used carry on my wayward son as sort of the theme song for the TV series supernatural. One of my favourites by them. I couldn’t agree with you more.

Love this song! Kansas was a great band from the 70's. Their musical style is a fusion of hard rock, southern rock & progressive rock. "Carry On Wayward Son" & "Dust In The Wind" are their 2 biggest hits. But they had other good songs such as "Point Of Know Return", "Hold On", "People Of The South Wind", "Play The Game Tonight", "Fight Fire With Fire", "All I Wanted" etc.

My favorite tidbit about this song is that it was never supposed to exist, band member Kerry Livgren composed it as a finger picking exercise for his guitar practice. But his bandmates heard the tune and said "Dude you need to make this into a song", so he wrote up the lyrics in a few minutes. It went on the be one of the most well-known and influential songs of all time.

more precisely, it was Kerry's wife who heard him practicing in the house and told him it would be as a song, so he wrote a song which he took to the studio to show the band, and the band agreed it would be a great song. Kerry was in a spiritual search in those days and thus the dust in the wind is a biblical reference of the well known 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust' that is spoken at funerals. Kerry is lamenting the futility of life without a higher purpose.

I remembered seeing a clip of Garth Brooks talking about Kansas after seeing them in concert, when he was a kid. He said to a friend on the phone, "I'm not sure what i just saw, but i believe i watched a drummer playing notes." That's talent.

Hi Millie. This is a beautiful song by Kansas.. Thank you for playing it even though you recognized it. When I was in high school a friend got killed in a car wreck and they played this song at her funeral. So appropriate. By the way, I love your hoodie!!!

I enjoyed watching and listening to your reaction of this song. The guitar arrangement in the studio was not one but two acoustic guitars( 1-six string & 1-12 string).In 1978 I was in 10th grade in High School. This was a favorite song to relax to in my High School days. *The blonde guitarist(Kerry Livgren)left the ‘Rock & Roll’ lifestyle to become a Christian in 1979.

Great classic rock ballad. Quite an awesome band they were, i remember seeing them a few times in concert .... vaguely thru the haze that was the 70s.

Thank you for reacting to this classic song. This song makes me think of Ash Wednesday. The pastor tells us "We are told we came from dust and to dust we shall return." I have also heard this song at a number of funerals.

Hi there sweetheart. Thank you so much for doing this one. I have always loved Kansas. Absolutely fantastic band. For me personally the best song they ever did was a song called “Carry On Wayward Son “. They actually used it and eventually turned it into the theme tune for the TV series, supernatural. thanks once again and please take care. Blessings to you from the UK.

The guy that wrote that song was Kerry Livgren, the guy with long blond hair on the left side.

For a moment, you triggered my deepest unspoken fear, and I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week, but then I realized it was just your accent and this wasn't really about "dust in the ween." *whew* Oh, thank God.

When I was a kid, when we didn't have the internet to look up lyrics, I swore the lyrics were "ducks in the wind". I mean, it sort of made sense, right?

Another great song from my era, this one has a kind of commentary on the transitory nature of life, everything passes, both good times and bad (“all we are is dust in the wind”). Yet, it is beautifully written to capture us and take us on this journey. You mentioned you love acoustic guitar. If that is true then listen to this link to Tommy Emmanuel, one of the premier acoustic guitar players in the world. I guarantee you’ve never seen or heard an acoustic guitar played like this! Here is the link….. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4LLdnahmt2giassi=FWseCDdtOtRh-DBm

A couple of decades ago somebody paired this with Cowboy Bebop to make a great AMV and shared it across the old KaZaA and Limewire networks before KZbin was around kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWe4dWyLq7-reaM
