So underrated, it's a damn shame what Styx did to Dennis.They wouldn't have made those successful hits if it weren't for Dennis's writing.I don't think Dennis ever got enough respect or recognition.

I just recently got sober almost 2 weeks now but the song I never really paid attention to it before I'm 70 years old my wife was murdered in 1980 I was a single parent most of my life and I haven't been able to cry , I've been holding on to my pain thank God he's rescuing me from myself I started acting just like the world the lyrics that says the saints have turned into sinners please show me the way. I met a woman at the VA in Portland Oregon a total stranger I saw her reading the Bible and I asked her would you read to me. I got a lot of work to do in my apartment it's so messy, but that's the least of my problems I forgot how good it feels to be real and honest and tell the truth . After I cry I feel so much better, I forgotten that God is so real change me. So I can love you and others better especially my children they're adults now and I live away from them now but I love them so much the song just talk to me in a way it should! Thank you God don't ever let me stop searching for you loving you, I hated words like obedience .now when you love somebody you listen to them. That's my prayer I am willing reading the word again❤

And I have to say that this song has really gotten me through some very tough times. So I thank God for showing me the way to live again. RIP: To both my dear sweet Mother and Older brother. Everything that I did I did it just for you guys. And may we see each other again in Heaven.

I recall a guest pastor at my church who preached a sermon that was directed at music, and musicians. He specifically targeted Styx as having a tremendous negative impact on young people. That happened in 1995. I had no clue then, nor now in 2019 what band of musicians he had listen to. This particular song should be sung in church. It has always amazed me that music is a target, an easy one for those who may listen yet are so unwilling to hear. Show me the Way is a lyrical masterpiece and DeYoung's passionate voice delivers the message to perfection. Excellent song.
@jackiegreen99604 жыл бұрын
Your pastor view regarding Styx is clearly noted. He is probably basing his opinion the fact that creator Dennis DeYoung derived the name of the rock group from the river travelled to hell for wayward and unbelieving souls against Jesus Christ. I am a born again Christian and a true lover of Christ. To this very day I have no problem with the music of Styx. This is why God Himself forgives all sinners!

@@jackiegreen9960 You may have forgotten but Styx in (1980-81) During the " Paradise Theatre" era was accused of have Satanic messages, when the songs were played backwards, and I believe QUEEN was one of the bands also accused along with Styx among others, this was before CABLE T.V but I remember the news was all over this back then, in 1983 Mr.Robotos theme was about CENSORSHIP, but more people spend time hating Dennis Deyoung, for that song but its ironic look at BIG TECH and what they are doing now, back in the day, I brushed off the backwards messages narrative as FAKE NEWS, and even Michael Jackson was talked about negatively by preachers, ( BLACK PREACHERS) during Thriller but it wasn't about his music having backwards messages, a lot of it was out of nonsense. If you ever watch the CAUGHT IN THE ACT live concert with Styx (1983 Kilroy was here tour) You'll see J.Y right before they do the song " SNOW BLIND" He actually addresses the accusations of SATAN MESSAGES in their songs and he strongly slammed the accusations.

And then capped off by the appearance of the boys father, and the boys realization of deep love. Such an amazing song and video.

Of course I am no Dennis DeYoung, but the crowd knew the song immediately related to the song and it was terrifically impactful in that service on that day. I selected the song to be worked up by the band, and told the preacher at the time he needs to preach on this topic using the song as a setup. It was extremely effective and some of them still talk about it to this day. Powerful song powerful video, thank you Dennis.

Nothing beats 70s 80s 90s music. Just done with such feeling and conviction and sang songs like it was the last song they would ever sing. So lucky to have witnessed the abundance of talent as a kid and teen and young adult during those 3 decades
@spedc2 жыл бұрын
SO many heartfelt songs were put out in the 80s by Styx, Journey, Foreigner, Chicago....I could keep going but they all fell victim to band issues that stopped them from continuing their gift to the world of these types of songs. That's why there will NEVER be another era of songs like there were in the 80s.

My daughter Kelly was 2 y/o when she first heard this great song. In her baby language skill, she will sing it to me when every time I’ll get home from a U.S Navy weekend pass…she will add up words too: “Daddy, daddy show, showww me the wayyyyy” 😁🤣😂😭 I’ll never forget those happy moments we lived as a family; we travelled the world and lived in so many nice places too (not all of them were very nice to be honest though) but we all chipped in to make it work and that’s what really matters. This song will have a very special place in my heart & mind until my end of days. She’s now 33 and has her own family.

This is their "Your Song," their "Piano Man," and the song they should most be remembered by 100 years from now. Although "Babe" and "Come Sail Away" are technically better songs this is their most philosophical cut and most enduring.

This song brings back memories of buying the Edge Of the Century album on cassette in the late 90s having not even heard of Styx before. I remember looking at the way the band was dressed and just the titles of the songs on the album and thinking"I think I would like this kind of band" and needless to say the album was brilliant. I always thought that was weird.I don't know why but I always seem to discover a new AOR/Melodic band I like when they have been going for decades and I'm 48 Years OLD!
