I came here to say you GOTTA do "Carry On My Wayward Son"!!!👍 Anyone else hear this song & think of Will Ferrell in "Old School"? You're my boy Blue!! 😂
Lots of truth! I laugh when sone people think they are better than everyone else, I just think, they are not. They are nothing but dust in the wind. Just my opinion.
Y'all made me cry with this reaction. This was my wife's favorite song. She used to play it on the violin. She passed away in May and I thank you brothers for putting her in my mind
I'm deeply sorry for your loss, and I know how difficult it is to deal with. My wife passed away 2 years ago, and I'm still not over it. I never will be, but that's okay. It's not a bad thing. I realize that, now. And I'm still healing. It's a process. The main thing to remember is that it will get better. It just takes time.
@@audiofile8833 thanks.. it's definitely a process. I've lost way to many in my life. The important thing is to be strong for my children. They have never dealt with death and are struggling but getting better. She was only 58 with end stage dementia and they had to watch her wither away. Condolences to you also.
Kansas should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Carry on Wayward Son," "Point of Know Return," "Miracles out of Nowhere," "Cheyenne Anthem," "It Takes a Woman's Love (to make a man)," "Song for America," "Preacher Man," and on and on. Massive catalog. The guitarist with blonde hair, Kerry Livgren, was playing a finger exercise at his house and his wife heard it and said it would make a beautiful song. He went to the studio with the guys and in a matter of minutes, the song was completely written. I've got a book signed by Livgren about this song and how it changed people's lives: including mine.
Their most popular song ("Carry on Wayward Son" is a very close 2nd). The title track from this album ("Point of Know Return") was a hit single also. Kansas' unique fusion of rock, classical, and other genres was exceptionally creative. Throughout the 1970s, the band achieved enormous commercial success with 'Leftoverture' and 'Point of Know Return' taking them to superstardom. However, those albums' AOR radio classics are just a fraction of the expansive and diverse musical world that Kansas has to offer as the band's repertoire is rich and varied. Exploring their catalog reveals a treasure trove of musical innovation, artistic creativity, and emotional depth that truly sets them apart, transitioning as they did from formidable progressive rock artists to mainstream success. - Ultimate Classic Rock (edited)
The giutar riff was originally just a warm up exercise that Kerry Livgren played around the house when practicing. His wife said it was "pretty" and that he should write a song around it. He played it for the band and there ya go... another hit for Kansas! Funny how these things come to life.
1st time I heard this was in middle school. My girl crush was up on stage for some kinda school show. She played this with just an acoustic guitar Later on at home I checked it out on UA-cam. Great song! ♥
This song never gets old and it is a Timeless Classic!! Gotta love Robby's beautiful hair, incredible violin skills and gorgeous voice/harmony skills. Sadly, we lost Robby July 17, 2021. RIP Robby Steinhardt.
This song was played at a funeral of a friend of my husband's. He was only early 30's with 2 children. His wife barely made it down the isle of the church. He died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Heartbreaking...I can't really listen to the song without reliving the scene all over again.
as lovely as "dust" is, "carry on wayward son" is even better. i highly recommend reacting to their official video version - it is a BANGER perfect song ❤
I went to a Catholic high school, and the music director liked to use pop and rock and other genres mixed in with traditional hymns in the music for when we had weekly mass. This was one of the songs she used. It was already about fifteen ish years old at the time. But it did seem to fit in almost like a hymn. Two of her other choices were Open Arms by Journey (but had to change lying beside you here in the dark to sitting beside you when we sang it 🙄) and Up Where We Belong by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. I know she had others, but this stuck out. Yes this song fit mass, and yes it is definitely an intense song. Great reaction! Love you guys.
This song, and Kansas, were iconic during my teenage years. When you felt the lonesome coming out of the stereo speakers, you knew Kansas was fixing to reach out and soothe you.
Kerry Livgren said that the tune started out as simply a finger exercise he did at home. His wife heard it and told him 'sounds nice, you should make it into a song' So they did.
Kansas did do MTV Unplugged. and this song. They also had 3 or 4 violin players. It was one of the great, holding up your lighter moments that the audience did... The band was surprised by that. Love live Kerry Livgren for his music.
Oh man, a classic masterpiece, I've heard this played at a few funerals. Growing up in the 70s, I'm glad I got to experience these bands at a young age. I'm 54 now and this song still gives me chills when I hear it. A great reaction ❤🙏 to you and your families.
They are currently on tour. Amazing live if you get the chance to see them. I caught a show about a year ago. Love Kansas. So much great music with deep messages. My favorites are “The Wall,” “Hold On,” and “Song For America.” “Carry On My Wayward Son” is good, but maybe overplayed a bit.
Loved Kansas. The tour promoting this album was my first live concert when I was a teen. Please listen to Point of No Return and Carry On My Wayward Son.
Music critics (such as some at Rolling Stone) were overly hard on Kansas. Criticizing their lyrics here as "sophomoric philosophizing" This is a very pretty song that works. Kansas was tuneful. An interesting song for you guys would be Cheyenne Theme. Not complex lyrics I admit, but honest and from the heart. An ignored social topic throughout popular music in America.
Kansas is an American rock band that formed in 1973 in Topeka, Kansas, and became popular during the decade initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind".[4] The band has produced nine gold albums, three multi-platinum albums.
I love this song ❤ Brings back so many memories, happy and sad. I turned 19 in 78 and thought I had it all figured out. Then I heard this song and wept.
I remember hearing this for the first time when I was 17 while driving and thinking, what is this!? It’s a hauntingly beautiful song about self-reflection, which we all need to be reminded of from time to time. Kansas is actually a progressive rock band. Another big hit that really showcases who they are is Carry On Wayward Son, which I’ve linked below. Would love a reaction to it. ua-cam.com/video/P5ZJui3aPoQ/v-deo.htmlsi=QGok3yZDMOv9SDaZ
I was brought up in a religious household, but now I go down my own path of enlightenment, and discovery. But here's a verse for you: Ecclesiastes 3:20 "All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return." When I first heard this song it brought me to tears. It told me to enjoy every single moment in life, because you never know when it'll be taken away from you.
This is fire guys!! I really dig your channel and you’re doing real good with the selections.. There is a lot for you guys to uncover, especially 60s and 70s. It’s massive and unparalleled in quantity,quality, lyrical content and musicianship!! I look forward to riding it out with you dudes!
When he says, " All your money won't another minute buy .." I always think of Steve Jobs. He was so sick with cancer and tried so hard, but all that money was useless when it came to saving his life.
Came across your channel a couple of days ago, been looking back through your other reactions and enjoyed what you guys were doing here... you have a new subscriber now!
You guys are on fire. Another of my favorite songs, and yes I agree it is a bit morbid and sad, but it is beautiful with the harmonies, soft guitars and that amazing violin. It is good song to decompress to. Another song by Kansas is "Carry On My Wayward Son", it starts with the familar harmonies but quickly turns into a very rock song. If you haven't heard it I recommend it.
They had just completed an album...they were sitting around, and " White Jesus "... =p said I wrote another song last night, and it was " Carry on my Wayward son. ".... probably their biggest hit...like REALLY....just came up with it overnight????? CRAZY!
These guys are believe it or not prog rock. This sweet little song does not represent that. Definitely check out carry on my wayward son live any version. All of these guys are multi instrumentalists that guy just standing there singing? That dude plays everything.
Let me be the NEXT person to say "Carry On My Wayward Son" is next.
Yessir!
Most definitely!
100%👍🫡✌️
I came here to say you GOTTA do "Carry On My Wayward Son"!!!👍
Anyone else hear this song & think of Will Ferrell in "Old School"?
You're my boy Blue!! 😂
The live version
"Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and sky, and all your money won't another minute buy." Lots of hair, lots of talent.
Lots of truth! I laugh when sone people think they are better than everyone else, I just think, they are not. They are nothing but dust in the wind. Just my opinion.
@@TexasRose50So true, and I hate to break it to those people, but I think just as much of myself as they do about themselves.
Y'all made me cry with this reaction. This was my wife's favorite song. She used to play it on the violin. She passed away in May and I thank you brothers for putting her in my mind
My sympathies for your loss

So sorry for your loss
"And all your money, won't another minute buy!"
That's some serious philosophizing.
Oh yeah!
The spiritually-tinged lyrics and amazing music of Kansas may have very well saved my life during a tumultuous childhood.

The violinist for Kansas is Robby Steinhardt, who passed away in 2021. RIP Robby. You are missed! 1

Dust In The Wind holds to be a classic forever. Great reaction!
Definitely check out Kansas, Carry On, My Wayward Son.
When you can

Na, they got dust in the wind and carry on is ok
Kansas were in my opinion the best American Prog band of the seventies era.

Was so hoping Ollie would have been reacting to this song cause I know how much he love the violin in ELO he would have liked this violin playing too
Loved this song, for such a long time.❤ Beautiful and true.⭐

once "rock & roll" gets into your soul - it never leaves
Carry on my wayward son- Kansas, you’ll love it.
Kansas proves that back in the day you could make it based on talent and not looks. Wayward Son is a lot more fun.
This is going be played at my wake
Bill: Dust... wind.
Ted: Dude!
So Crates: AAHHH!!
As the sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
Kansas "Carry on my wayward Son" They have a great BIO too called Kansas "Miracles out of nowhere" enjoy..
1st time I heard this was in middle school. My girl crush was up on stage for some kinda school show. She played this with just an acoustic guitar
Later on at home I checked it out on UA-cam. Great song! ♥

Morbid or a great reminder to value our time here. The lyrics have stuck with me for so many years.
This song was played at a funeral of a friend of my husband's. He was only early 30's with 2 children. His wife barely made it down the isle of the church. He died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Heartbreaking...I can't really listen to the song without reliving the scene all over again.
You two might have heard a Kansas song called 'Carry On My Wayward Son', give it a listen, it was also popular in the tv series 'Supernatural'.
Steve Walsh...one of the best and most iconic voices in Rock and Roll...Kansas was my first rock concert in summer 1979 in Evansville, IN
as lovely as "dust" is, "carry on wayward son" is even better.
i highly recommend reacting to their official video version - it is a BANGER perfect song ❤

Carry on Wayward son !!!!
#1
A couple other great Kansas songs are "Carry On My Wayward Son" and "Portrait" (He Knew).
Such a masterpiece! I've been listening to this for 50 years and it still takes my breath away
It's hard to believe these reactors never heard this song, given their ages. Most say this is one of the greatest songs of all-time.
These guys are straight up when they have or haven't heard a song or if it sounds familiar; no reason to raise a doubt.
This song, and Kansas, were iconic during my teenage years. When you felt the lonesome coming out of the stereo speakers, you knew Kansas was fixing to reach out and soothe you.
I was 12 when this song was released. I love Kansas! They were phenomenal and this song has always been very special to me.
You can’t appreciate the singer until you see him jumping around between the keys and the congas in gym shorts 😂
Kerry Livgren said that the tune started out as simply a finger exercise he did at home. His wife heard it and told him 'sounds nice, you should make it into a song' So they did.
This tune was perfect in a TV series called Highlander back in the 90's. ☮🖤🤘
Kansas The Wall is a banger. One of my favorites from them.
"The Wall" saved my life in many ways. My favorite by Livgren.
Kansas did do MTV Unplugged. and this song. They also had 3 or 4 violin players. It was one of the great, holding up your lighter moments that the audience did... The band was surprised by that. Love live Kerry Livgren for his music.
Hi guys I'm a new subscriber here. I was 16
when I first heard this awesome song in 1978 and it's one of my favorite
Kansas' songs!
❤❤❤❤❤ hold on, fight fire with fire, right away, play the game tonight
Oh man, a classic masterpiece, I've heard this played at a few funerals. Growing up in the 70s, I'm glad I got to experience these bands at a young age. I'm 54 now and this song still gives me chills when I hear it. A great reaction ❤🙏 to you and your families.
A friend of mine does DJ work and actually got a gig at a funeral recently. I suggested Wish You Were Here. 😂
This was high school music for me. It certainly has stood the test of time. " All your money won't another minute buy"
***WHEEL IN THE SKY*** by Journey goes right next to it on the playlist!
@Conspiracy
I love Wheel in the sky and Separate Ways!
I saw them with Thin Lizzy in '81 or so. Both good bands
They are currently on tour. Amazing live if you get the chance to see them. I caught a show about a year ago. Love Kansas. So much great music with deep messages. My favorites are “The Wall,” “Hold On,” and “Song For America.” “Carry On My Wayward Son” is good, but maybe overplayed a bit.
''Carry on Wayward Son'' is the other biggie from Kansas, an absolute...
Loved Kansas. The tour promoting this album was my first live concert when I was a teen. Please listen to Point of No Return and Carry On My Wayward Son.
I would Love to hang out with y'all.

On the other spectrum, check out Kansas "Carry On Wayward Son"
I haven’t heard this song since I was in college. Love it!!!! Thank you!!!!

I never thought this song was morbid, just the truth 💚🎶🎵
Great Reaction! "Carry on my wayward son". is a Must!
Magnum Opus... The "Howling At the Moon" part is truly awesome.
This was my favorite song. Absolutely beautiful. All we are is dust in the wind. Love it. I couldn’t get enough of this song back then.
Carry on my wayward son will undoubtedly blow yall away. I just hope that Ollie is present for that one! Love from Kentucky❤️
This was my mom’s favorite song. ❤ She passed away in 1981.
I remember hearing this for the first time when I was 17 while driving and thinking, what is this!? It’s a hauntingly beautiful song about self-reflection, which we all need to be reminded of from time to time.

Ashes to ashes dust to dust. Well spoken. Beautiful verse.
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, and a chase after dust in the wind
Carry on my wayward son!
The song is perfect.
This is fire guys!! I really dig your channel and you’re doing real good with the selections.. There is a lot for you guys to uncover, especially 60s and 70s. It’s massive and unparalleled in quantity,quality, lyrical content and musicianship!! I look forward to riding it out with you dudes!
❤🎻 RIP Robbie 🎻❤
When he says, " All your money won't another minute buy .." I always think of Steve Jobs. He was so sick with cancer and tried so hard, but all that money was useless when it came to saving his life.
Attended a Catholic school, and this song would be played many times during church…still love this song.
Such a satisfying reaction from you guys! As an old 66 yr old white guy in Canada, who was never really a Kansas fan, I LOVE your honesty!
Peace
Carry On My Wayward Son by them is funky as hell.
Came across your channel a couple of days ago, been looking back through your other reactions and enjoyed what you guys were doing here... you have a new subscriber now!

LMAO about your description of their hair! The 70s were something "special" when it comes to hair styles! Holy sh**!
These guys are believe it or not prog rock. This sweet little song does not represent that. Definitely check out carry on my wayward son live any version. All of these guys are multi instrumentalists that guy just standing there singing? That dude plays everything.
