Thank you for this.

[@blurrg1]

Another fantastic band. Classic Rock at its best. 😎🎸🎹

[@DrDebD]

Styx- Suite Madame Blue and Miss America. Both great tunes

[@cobrax2439]

Suite Madame Blue by far their best.

[@whiterabbit201]

Suite Madame Blue will suck you in to being a Styx fan forever.

[@dynjarren7523]

M White That song was by Dennis de Young and it’s probably his best song! After not hearing it for years I heard it the other day and realized what a great Song it still is. And I like that refrain of America at the end! It just fits the song perfectly!

[@dynjarren7523]

I agree 💯 percent! Those are two of my favorites as well. Miss America was a James Young song and was a sarcastic song about how shallow Beauty Pagents are and the lyrics were brilliant! In your cage at the human zoo, They all stop to look at you! Next year what will you do? When you have been forgotten? I thought those lyrics were Brutal! He did not hold back! And Suite Madame Blue is another Dennis de Young masterpiece! One of his best songs!

[@brandonm9132]

And lady that's another great hit

[@kathys6402]

I was lucky enough to see Styx in concert for this album, what a show they put on. Blew me away. And yes I am that old LOL

[@ericjohnson2137]

I am a little bit younger my 1st time was Paradise Theater

[@mattplus09]

I remember listening to this on the radio while laying in bed at night...it got a lot of radio play. Peace!

[@yeahyeahcharlie]

It’s a beauty. All of this music - Rush, Boston, Queen, Styx. It was all happening at the *same time*.

[@dextergavin6950]

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@dustinfranco9201]

@Dexter Gavin instablaster :)

[@ashiqurrohman7731]

Styx is just so so amazing ....damn these guys can write songs...Man in the Wilderness is one of my favorites by them ..You can do a reaction to it..You will love it.

[@sammycat1052]

I was a kid in the 70’s listening to the pop music of the day. Then I heard this song on the radio. From there I went rock/metal and never looked back.

[@jlmso11568]

Popular songs were not simple in those days. if you want to feel the ocean, listen to "Cool Change", by The Little River Band.

[@jeffreyroberts4156]

Good suggestion. I was thinking of that LRB track when watching them review this song. Dennis DeYoung always wrote some great songs for Styx.

[@SirManfly]

Or Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett.

[@ashiqurrohman7731]

Cool change is a beautiful song....LLB are amazing too

[@dynjarren7523]

I used to know how to play the piano part because I loved this song so much when I was a kid. I figured it out by ear. Boy, did my ear hurt! It’s not easy to bang out a song with your ear! But seriously I learned the entire part and was so proud of myself that I figured it all out by trial and error. Of course, now I forgot it all. Anyway, I knew you’d like it because it’s still a good song after all these years. Good Reactions!

[@yv2929]

Amazing song with a catchy chorus and tempo🎶 The lyrics are about keeping on trying and it it doesn't work out on Earth, they could step on a starship and make tomorrow happen on a star out there in the Galaxy 💫 Great reaction Enoma ✨⚡

[@420since1974]

"Lyrically, the song uses sailing as a metaphor to achieve one's dreams. The lyrics touch on nostalgia of "childhood friends," escapism, and a religious thematic symbolized by "a gathering of angels" singing "a song of hope." The ending lyrics explain a transformation from a sailing ship into a starship, by narrating that "we climbed aboard our starship and headed for the skies" which also imply biblical verses from Ezekiel (1:1-28)".

[@joedirt688]

One of the most classic songs in its time. It would be a hit in any era!

[@kloggenhopper]

I went to see them somewhere around ten times. They put on a show. They looked like they were really enjoying themselves. Love you two!

[@carloszavala2248]

Love STYX, finally youtubers started to react to styx, a lot of beautiful songs. Nice reaction to an amazing band.

[@johnsandlin7474]

I got here first!!!! Life can be a lot like sailing a ship...navigate carefully or sink and hope those angels appear. Great reaction.

[@TMS5100]

Dennis Deyoung, one of the best vocalists ever. He wrote a good number of Styx's top hits.

[@madkildee]

Beautiful song!

[@JF-Sebastian]

I enjoyed your reaction very much. You both described your feelings about the song in an eloquent and whimsical way which was great to hear.

[@cleonmagabeefy8500]

I love how you listen to music I've taken for granted all these years... Your reactions make me remember how I felt when I first heard these songs... THANK YOU

[@gabeman6970]

i love her reaction when they get to the starship twist in the song

[@msmith5121]

Saw Styx three times in the late 70's and early 80's....awesome band live.

[@marlahudgins7038]

I grew up with STYX.. Such a good group

[@barbarachieppo8290]

Babe by Styx is a beautiful song Peace to you both I love your channel

[@Brendan-g2b]

Awesome song

[@SteveInTheOC]

👍 lovely song 👌

[@stevekanakanui7033]

Styx !!! WOW ,,another great band ..This Old Man' is another Styx song you should check out

[@richkelley6041]

My favorite from Styx has always been Blue Collar Man. Great song though!

[@SilverFox-qr1ci]

Great reaction. It is said once you know the words that if you hear the first 2 lines of the song, you must sing or hear the rest. I would request Fooling Yourself and Too Much Time on My Hands.

[@Mr.Speckatola]

this stuff came out when science fiction was really popular .

[@Rand_Althor1966]

amazing band. crystal ball has been one of my all time favs forever

[@prischm5462]

Science fiction in song. Love it and your reaction.

[@mellamell7441]

Styx is my favorite band and has been since I first heard this song in 1977, when I was 7. Once a Styx fan, always a Styx fan, but my appreciation of this group didn't come easy. By the time my friends began liking music in 1981, Styx had lost the respect of many DJs in Seattle for being too commercial. Songs like Babe, The Best of Times, and later, Mr. Roboto starting wedging musically philosophical difference within the band and driving away fans. All of their songs are compositionally solid music but their style just changed due to the autocratic tendencies of Dennis De Young and the passive/aggressive responses of Tommy Shaw. Also their drummer, John Panozzo started having drinking problems. Other music was beginning to take over. As a result of band issues, the local DJs in my hometown of Seattle started making fun of this band almost every time they play their music on the rock stations. DJs' harassment of Styx in Seattle lasted up until 2015. I finally, as a middle-aged woman, got sick of their jokes of Tommy Shaw's "girly" appearance and goofy music. I called both classic rock stations, and left long messages on every DJ's voice mail told them off about their assinine jokes about Styx, and how I was physically bullied in school by rockers who had sworn allegiance to hair metal bands. I left personal messaged on their FB accounts as well. Finally, I got an apology from one of the worst offending DJs by email. Since then, when I go back to Seattle and listen to the rock stations, I can hear the DJs stiffen up when they credit Styx after playing a song. I can tell that they don't quite know what to do with the space when they normally would insert a stupid joke about the band, but they just give the name of the song and band and move along. No more bad jokes thank God! In any case, This band is fantastic with many different styles of music and three singers/songwriters. It might be fun to explore the differences between early (pre-Tommy Shaw) and later Styx, and the differences in voices (Come Sail Away is a Dennis De Young song, for Tommy, Blue Collar Man might be interesting, and James Young wrote an excellent song call Snowblind).

[@CafeEnoma]

Way to go! Speaking up at the right time does make a difference. Greetings from India!

[@anthonyrschmitz5182]

You need to go hear their latest album "The Mission" from 2017. Its amazing! I'd say it is one of ther top 3-5 best albums! Its right up there with Grand Illusion and Equinox.

[@charlesawker9774]

Listen to "Castle Walls" by this same band ...the story is amazing

[@dennis345]

You would REALLY like "I'm Ok," also from Styx.

[@DrDebD]

What headphones do you use? Dr. Dre?

[@joshhencik1849]

I always thought this song was about being abducted by aliens, but now I think I may have just dreamed that whole experience.... :D Great song!

[@rahulkrishnan6381]

All I see in the comment section is the American surprise when Indians appreciate to something like Styx. Because they dont even do it now.

[@cshubs]

If you like beach music, try Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet. He made a lot of great music.

[@ronniecarter266]

Check out Love At First Sight, and Love Is The Ritual by Styx.

[@leventtosun8260]

denise dee yaung legend vocal

[@k-popplayinklown5473]

It’s about close encounters of the third kind 👽 it tell you at the end

[@Deborahtunes]

No it's not about that. Dennis himself said that this song is just about having dreams and missing those days...

[@k-popplayinklown5473]

Deborah Kerns I thought that they were angels come to my surprise we got on board their star ship and headed for the sky Just a lyrical interpretation ( songs are like that sometimes

[@Deborahtunes]

@@k-popplayinklown5473 ~ I believe when Dennis was talking about *Starship* he was meaning the ship of which they are sailing on, not some spaceship. I remember listening to him on a show called *Rockline* years ago, and someone called up and brought up about *Come Sail Away* and it being about aliens, outerspace and whatnot. Dennis laughed and said straight out, it was about *"ones hopes, dreams, and missing those days of our youth when we had those dreams..."*

[@k-popplayinklown5473]

Deborah Kerns I’m sure it was for him. That’s the song writing process. The way the listener views the lyric is his own. The very reason we are watching this video is to see how these reactors interpreted this song .Its also the same reason Dennis was asked that question by a listener of that radio show you mentioned. I never claimed he wrote it about aliens. I just said It was about aliens (how my 14 year old brain heard it when everything was star wars, ET, close encounter etc when it came out.)For me it’s aliens and space ships ( really just the last verse). Plus I a was kinda being facetious with my original comment 👽

[@Deborahtunes]

@@k-popplayinklown5473 ~ Oh, ok...😏🎶🎸

[@Mr.Speckatola]

check out some "supertramp" easy dose it , and sister moonshine

[@Startraveler381]

Gotta love the old music

[@tedhorton6315]

At first you think it's a song about sailing, then you realize it's about an alien abduction. Possibly a friendly abduction, but still...

[@andersrojestal8733]

Try to listen to "Boat on the river" by Styx

[@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297]

Great song but for me the more profound song is the Grand illusion

[@gabeman6970]

you want a hym in church try reo speedwagon roll with the changes the chorus was inspired by sothern black gospell but there is no grater rock song ...you may find many as good...but none greater some songs are in a class of there own

[@estoy1001]

Best song about alien abduction.

[@Deborahtunes]

If you want to rock out a little more to Styx, *Renegade* *Blue Collar Man* and *Miss America* are better tunes. Also have a listen to anything off of *The Mission* Lp from 2017...

[@ek2112]

Does no one know that this song is about aliens? And them going onto their ufo and leaving earth?

[@michaelsuder3956]

Styx used to used to be a heavy classic rock band. Shame.....
