These Are The Times- STYX

[@BallofBase]

Its songs like these that prove to me Styx still has it. Beautiful work, JY.

[@ChrisHinton1967]

Best song from Cyclorama.

[@Michael-Crouch]

Chris Hinton I concur

[@Gaming_Nerd1993]

I can agree along side One With Everything.

[@misterninetyseven2898]

this and One With Everything. Whole album is pretty good though, if a bit flawed

[@Galactimus138]

I went with my dad to see them in concert on his birthday...this was in 2003.....they played this song and it has been my favorite song ever since...

[@dgn4369]

if this song was released during their heyday, it would be considered one of their classic songs....I really love this song

[@orses4corses]

Like the bit with JY, Tommy and Glen at the end. This song is a JY Masterpiece.

[@WaryBuck1]

A great song. The lyrics are EXTREMELY MOTIVATIONAL, and as usual Styx makes it personal and yet very dramatic. My favorite song from Cyclorama, edging out Killing The Thing That You Love and One With Everything.

[@JadeSilverhill]

This is one of my favourite styx songs from their most recent collection....they are amazing

[@idiotamerica135]

Styx is my favorite band. I love this song.

[@Smoralesbr]

What a great song! Beautiful!

[@mrpaine98]

Wow! Thanks for uploading this. This is the first time I have ever heard this song.

[@Journeyman83]

Epic! I saw live in 2003. The first concert I have ever been to

[@greenvoodew]

I hear voices from beyond the veil They reverberate in mystery There are shadows in my heart And they multiply in memory And the comrades that I've lost out there In the scattered ruins still speak to me If the flickering light of your campfire dims The world grows smaller It's closing in I'm standing here And I want you to live I know These are the times we find out who we really are This will be when a true friend stands at your side Someone like me who wants to Believe in the days of high times and innocence Drawing the lines and shouting back to the night Someone like me who wants you to live And from those who've seen the light beyond We know the end will bring tranquility But the voices of the friends they heard Brought them back to this reality Tough the beacon of light in your life seems dim The sun's coming up on the world we're in There are choices here And I want you to live I know These are the times we find out who we really are This will be when a true friend stands at your side One more like me Who wants to believe in the truth of all we experienced To live again to jump back into the fight Someone like me who wants you to live Pouring light from the sky Portends you and I Disappears in the night I still remember I hear voices from beyond the veil Like a faint unfinished symphony Though the beacon of light in your life seems dim The sun's coming up on the world we're in I'm standing here And I want you to live I know These are the times we find out who we really are This will be when a true friend stands at your side One more like me Who wants to believe in the truth of all we experienced To live again to jump back into the fight Someone like me who wants you to live I want you, I want you, I want you to live I want you, I want you, I want you to live I want you to live I still remember.

[@stmonkeys]

it's off the Cyclorama album, released in 2003. check it out! :D

[@TheProgrockfreak]

Best JY song ever

[@damemethief]

This song in particular is amazing, I love it!

[@wernerhuehn674]

This song is classic Styx, despite the absence of DDY. Excellent.

[@TaSwavo]

JY - the singer and writer of this song I think lost a brother in the Vietnam war. I think that is your connection. The band are great, always have been, and Cyclorama is one of their best. Go out and buy it - it's worth it - even if you only like Tenacious D ;P

[@danielcheatum9890]

favorite styx song!

[@davidnappyhoose204]

I love that album!

[@drodriguez62]

three great performers that is awesome

[@kiwidave218]

If this tune had been the only thing JY had contributed to Styx, he would still be classed as a first rate rock musician. Simply brilliant.

[@kdai2012]

STYX kicks butt! My fav vocals are Tommy and Larrys =] My favs in this band are Tommy,Larry,and Todd hes like totally nice. -Kayla 14

[@stmonkeys]

hey vaelsung! long time no see! :D styx always had diverse songs on their albums. you know that. just because they performed 1 or 2 ballads lately doesn't mean they still don't want to "rock." their live show is much more rock driven than it was a decade ago. i'm glad they are all still out there performing and creating music. much better than the alternative.

[@prophetbradley5048]

Lord Jesus Christ IS LIFE!

[@Styxkyd]

my dad says this is probably one of the best songs ever. recent and old styx all rules. Soon, there will be a video of my brother, his friend and me doing this song. check it out!

[@anakina1]

I still cant see Styx without Dennis, but this is a great song. It really reminds me of the old Styx sound.

[@styxfan0504]

This is an awesome Styx song. Styx is my favorite band. No offense to anyone who likes Styx with Dennis DeYoung and wants him back, but I like Styx without him because they can do the rock they are known for, and this is an awesome rock song from them.

[@diceytrust2768]

Jennifer Washburn ~ And to think this track was suppose to be on their "Brave New World" CD, but DDY wouldn't allow it. I'm with you, I much prefer Styx without Dennis. Sure he did some great songs, but constant ballads on every Lp, got old for me.

[@misterninetyseven2898]

@@diceytrust2768 wait... DDY didn't want this song on Brave New World? holy cow where'd you learn that

[@prophetbradley5048]

We love you Tommy and James. It is God's harvest time. Work for ETERNAL REWARD NOW!!! 😎🌈🕛🔥🦊

[@stmonkeys]

thanks for the vote of confidence, but no i did not make this vid. it is on the 20th Century Live cd/dvd.

[@FracescaMaria]

quanti ricordi....!!

[@victorclemente4639]

100% Rock and Roll

[@paulbreece677]

Still The BEST!!!

[@rseward7183]

That covid video to this song was amazing

[@drodriguez62]

Im still looking for a lost song that he sang with Gowen I believe but Im afraid ill neverf find it it reminds me of this song

[@mrroboto5785]

Has there been anything on a new Styx album? I would have to say that I don't hate the current band line up, they do have some great songs, but the band was at its prime when Dennis Deyoung was with them, and I cannot wait until Tuesday when 100 Years From Now comes out, I've heard little bits of it here on youtube, but it is going to be awesome, I would LOVE to see a reunion tour at least once, before anymore of them die off.

[@heatherniemi4336]

I just can't find thier 1st album/CD that has the song that sings about don't sit down on the plexiglass toilet

[@diceytrust2768]

Heather Niemi ~ Styx's Wooden Nickel music is all on a double disk CD, see if you can find it. I have to look, but I believe it's on there. 🎶😉

[@Deborahtunes]

It's the on *The Serpant Is Rising* Lp...

[@thejax61]

💕💕💕💕💕

[@bielmichelson4758]

for all WW1 and WW2 veterans.

[@planetsidewinderofficial2954]

I still miss JY's moustache.... his lip looks lonely without it :(

[@carolynpullum5784]

Sidewinders Official wow

[@diceytrust2768]

Personally, the one person who I would be really upset if he left would be JY. He's the "umph" in the band, and I love umph! Or for everyone else the intensity that the band needs.

[@donny38075]

I agree. JY has never got the attention of Tommy and Dennis. But I see him as the hub that holds it all together. Styx would never sound the same without JY.

[@diceytrust2768]

Don Kellough ~ Agreed...👍🎶🎸

[@Balin93]

Love the Batman shirt

[@brywool]

"The time is now, to take my wears into the street..." oops, wrong Styx song. ;)

[@timothymorris3601]

I love both songs but I actually did mix them up this time!

[@mrbaseballpb]

List to, As Bad As This on the Serpent is Rising or get the STYX Wooden Nickle Years.

[@mrroboto5785]

Great song; In my opinon Dennis Deyoung was the backbone of that band, I could live w/o Gowan completely.

[@Vaelsung1]

Sure, like "Yes I Can" and "Just Be", good thing the cover band doesn't have DDY so they can rock! Right... Give the "100 Years From Now" CD a listen sometime and see who put more "rockin" songs on their album and which album is truer to the spirit of STYX.

[@kennethsimpson8967]

they still sound good but we all miss dennis this is lisa

[@leonel6570]

google I'm not Lisa! My name is Julie! Yah, it's (styx) great, But you can google if you like...

[@hermanhelmich]

kenneth simpson absolutely not, glad he’s out

[@magnusdammit]

Man.. is it me or does James not look too hot? Great song, though. Cyclorama was a pretty sweet album; but any idea of if and when they are going to release another one after Big Bang Theory?

[@styxfanjudy]

I don't think this was recorded in Detroit...

[@diceytrust2768]

For those of you who miss D. DeYoung, can understand but D. D. acted like a big baby; always wanted his way all the time. The rest of Styx gave him the chance to get well. They told him they would get someone on a temp basis until he got well enough to come back. That wasn't good enough for Mr. DeYoung. He didn't want them to tour at all until he got back. Who knows how long that would've taken. So Styx went on w/o him. Best thing they've done. Happen to like Lawrence Gowan. He's a great musician, and he definitely has better showmanship then Dennis ever had. The fact that D.D. tried to sue over the Styx name says a lot.

[@lisaparmeter9948]

I agree deb

[@diceytrust2768]

+Lisa Parmeter Thank you. Don't get me wrong, I like Dennis. He has a voice to die for, and his early material prior to Cornerstone was fabulous. But he lost his edge. Plus he stopped considering the other song writers in the band. I personally prefer Jy and Tommy's material in later years of Styx, then Dennis. Their last cd together, "Brave New World", Dennis' material was not good. I only liked one song he did. The other DDY tracks sounded like show tunes to me.

[@lisaparmeter9948]

+Deborah Kerns I totally agree with you. I didn't like that mr.robotic whatever it was called. Dennis wanted theater like stuff something like alice cooper and it didn't fit styx at all. I like the earlier stuff Dennis did to but was tired of his selfishness. I think Tommy and Jy have done great and I really like Lawrence he does really good and they seem to enjoy playing. With Dennis ya could tell there was tension with the band members. I'm so bummed out that I didn't get to go to their concert June 25th in Brainerd Minnesota. I don't drive anymore due to seven car accidents and my ride had other things she had to do. I hope they come back next summer cuz I really want to see them they are so good. they really have real meaning to their music. I've loved Tommy shaw since I was 11 or 12 and I will be 55 in November. Tommy looks awesome and can still play and sing so awesome. take care Deb. if ya hear of any place they are playing Minnesota Wisconsin Illinois or Iowa let me know if ya can. I get so far and my phone and computer knocks me off or puts me back on my facebook wall. have a great rest of the weekend.

[@diceytrust2768]

Lisa Parmeter Thanks Lisa. If I see something I'll let you know. You have a great weekend also. Blessings to you. 😊😉🍀🍀🌞🌞

[@lisaparmeter9948]

+Deborah Kerns thank you Deb. I'm on facebook if you here or know anything about up coming concerts. have a good evening and a good sunday.

[@drodriguez62]

Dennis DeYoung is a great performer singer musician. But he started to stop considering the other band members he took on too much and over powered the band like I said this band has three great lead singers not just one. If you ask me he should have left a long time before he did.

[@kdai2012]

He may not be..

[@1badsteed]

@funcpl2741054 you must be kidding? Better now live? I saw them twice with Dennis, three times without, it isn't even close amigo. They ruled with Dennis, We left early the last time we saw them. Nobody thought they were better.

[@Faltor895]

1badsteed agreed, I saw them on the paradise and grand illusion 96/97 tours and then I saw them on the cyclorama tour. The new Styx is technically fine and Gowan is a more skilled keyboard player than deyoung, but so what? If that matters so much go listen to classical music. Gowan doesn't have deyoung's charisma and definitely not his songwriting ability. The original trio had a magic together. I remember I took a girl with me to see them in 97 and she was amazed at how nuts the audience was going over them.
