      Then, "Sparks of the Tempest". I swear, that song from over 40 years ago was prophetic and applies to the world today! For your info, here are the lyrics to the song:
      The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on
      The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn
      The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
      The difference between us is a part of the game
      Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun
      The dead are the living in the age of the gun
      While everyone clamors for the justice they seek
      The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak
      They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do
      The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through
      Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
      Though they may promise, they only bring pain
      The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke
      You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke
      The less that you know the more you fall into place
      A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face
      Run for the cover, Millennium's here
      Bearing the standard of confusion and fear
      Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
      Though they may promise, they only bring pain
      Blood in the sand, a cry in the street
      Now the cycle is nearly complete
      Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned
      No turning back, now the wheel has turned
      Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees
      A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze
      The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
      The difference between us is a part of the game
      Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies
      What is this madness that is filling the skies
      Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
      Though they may promise, they only bring pain

    Icarus, in Greek mythology, flew too close to the sun. His wings melted and he dropped back to earth. Kerry Livgren had a philosophical bent. He thought deeply about life and eventually came to the ultimate conclusion that any achievement is temporary. He wrote both this song and Dust in the Wind. It's wonderful to me that, rather than let his thinking lead to despair, he let it lead him to Christianity.

    "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas lyrics:
    I close my eyes
    Only for a moment, and the moment's gone
    All my dreams
    Pass before my eyes, a 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
    Dust in the wind
    All we are is dust in the wind
    Now don't hang on
    Nothing lasts 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)

Cheap Trick was scheduled to open the show but one of their equipment trucks went off the road in the ice, so Kansas played to a 1/4 capacity crowd after inviting everyone down to the front of the stage. Watching this band play for almost 5 hours was amazing.

    I was wondering when you were gonna get to this one, Jamel. It's one of the quintessential rock tunes of all time, but what sets it apart from most is that, where most songs have only one hook that drives the tune, this song is literally hook after hook after hook; each taking you further along the journey. If you're digging that Hammond B3 Organ, then you're gonna LOVE Kansas. I would recommend "Point of No Return". Peace, love, and music, brother! ヅ

    Absolutely everything is perfect about this song. The lyrics. The vocal melody and harmonies. The instrumentation and arrangement. The technical mastery. The absolutely tight pocket of that rhythm section. The tone. The recording of the instruments. The mixing. The stereo separation. Effects. Not a note out of place. On top of that, crazy emotional impact and feeling. Perfect.

      In my opinion it's of the greatest songs ever. The mixing is so good, a lot of times organs and keyboards get drowned out by the guitars, but here the vocals and instruments all shine together and it gives it that extra impact. Plus that organ solo is great as well.

If you get a chance, watch the live version. I was fortunate to see them in concert in Detroit in the 70s. They sound live like the studio recording. They must be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but sadly aren't........ yet.

    Kerry Livgreen was one of the writers of this song and like "Dust in the Wind" it is heavily influenced by his search for meaning in life and God. He later left the band and became a Christian music artist. It appears that you're searching a bit yourself, having a shirt about teaching peace. Jesus claimed to offer a peace that transcends all understanding. He also said we all would face storms, but that if we would trust Him as our rock, we would have peace in the midst of them.

  • @maggieanne5340
    @maggieanne5340 4 роки тому +65

    Hi Jamel! Carry on Wayward Son back story...
    "This was written by Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren. According to Livgren, the song was not written to express anything specifically religious, though it certainly expresses spiritual searching and other ideas.
    Livgren became an evangelical Christian in 1980, and has said that his songwriting to that point was all about "searching." Regarding this song, he explained: "I felt a profound urge to 'Carry On' and continue the search. I saw myself as the 'Wayward Son,' alienated from the ultimate reality, and yet striving to know it or him. The positive note at the end ('surely heaven waits for you') seemed strange and premature, but I felt impelled to include it in the lyrics. It proved to be prophetic."
    This song can be seen as the continuation of the last song of Kansas' previous album Masque. As stated in the last verse of "The Pinnacle":
    I stood where no man goes
    Above the din I rose
    Life is amusing though we are losing
    Drowned in tears of awe
    By definition in the Cambridge dictionary, "din" is a loud, unpleasant, confused noise which lasts for a long time. The first line of "Carry On Wayward Son" is: "Once I rose above the noise and confusion." >>
    This was the group's first major hit, and like their next one, "Dust In The Wind," it was a last minute addition to the album. Kerry Livgren wrote the song just two days before they started recording Leftoverture. At that point, the band was polishing the songs they had, not bringing in new ones. "I've got one more song that you might want to hear," he told the band, and when he played "Carry On," they knew it was a hit and made it the lead track on the album.
    The a cappella vocals in the beginning of this song gave it a very distinctive intro. This worked well on rock radio stations where disc jockeys rarely talked over the music.
    This song has appeared in several movies, including Heroes (1977), Happy Gilmore (1996) and Anchorman - The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)."

    It was actually in a movie from either 1976 or 1977 called Heroes with Henry Winkler. Also, in the single version, the organ part isn't in it. They cut that out and went straight to the guitar solo. Of course tape editing with a razor blade and splicing tape was a real art back in the day.

Interesting story on this song...they almost had the album finished but needed one more song...Kerry Livgren went home and wrote this whole song in one night...ended up being their biggest hit before Dust in the Wind.

    One song they have that is really incredible is called "The Wall". Its about dealing with - and conquering - depression,, making it a very hope-filled song. Here are the lyrics for you:
    I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
    The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
    And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
    It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between
    All I am and all that I would ever want to be
    It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries
    My spirit would erase
    To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
    And those are few who've seen it through to glimplse the other side
    The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
    The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
    It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
    It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
    I want to see
    Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me to know it well
    The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
    There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
    And though it's always been with me
    I must tear down the wall let it be
    All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
    Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
    There is no loss
    I'd love to see your reaction to this one!

    Again, not Mary, but her husband, Jeff commenting. When this album dropped, it was in the same time period of Hotel California, Boston debut. These inspired me to play an instrument. So pure and tight. To this day, decades later, this song is still one of my favorite jams to play on my Fender P Bass. Such a great bass line. Love your reactions, so genuine. And yes, the organ is killer. Others have said it, this band is criminally under rated. Consummate musicianship.
