Grand Illusion, fooling yourself, renegade, are true classics. I'm 63 born just at the right time!!!
Lol
Same for me. You just assume their so much older than you but Tommy Shaw was 5 years older than me. Someone who was critiquing another song said about a picture that He just joined the bad at 8 years old . Worked out good for him. At his age he could be 20 years younger. Saw him do an interview, by some guys promoting tequila for a charity. Need I say more They told him to get his wife on. They laughed so hard at these guys. Two peas in a pod. She is the type of person I would like to meet. No pretence about her husband.
The song is not specifically about aliens. As Dennis Deyoung (lead singer) said, it's about the longing of being somewhere else in life whether it is sailing on a ship or in outer space. They used the idea of space because at that time, there were space movies that were coming out like Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This is one of their biggest and most iconic songs. They have so many good ones. Renegade may be one you have heard before.
And Star Trek. Which I think is probably why they use the term "Star Ship" instead of "space ship".
When I went to listen to them at one of their concerts, the pianist I can’t think of his name right now, said he wrote this as a tribute to his dad, I believe.
From their 7th album "The Grand Illusion" released on 7/7/77. "Come Sail Away" sent Styx into the stratosphere in popularity. Every song on "The Grand Illusion" is amazing and especially powerful when hearing it from beginning to end w/o interruption. Try "Renegade", "Blue Collar Man", "Miss America", "Man In The Wilderness", "Midnight Ride", "Castle Walls", "Queen of Spades", "Crystal Ball", "Suite Madame Blue". There are so many more great songs from this great band.
Enjoy!
Styx was one of the biggest bands of the '70s and '80s. I think this is one of their greatest songs. I also love Suite Madame Blue and Fooling Yourself. Nice reaction, Sebs!
STYX is the only group to ever have 4 straight albums in a row go platinum.
Rush has done far more than 4 platinums consecutively.
Triple platinum. Big difference!
A little kind correction if you will. Styx was the first band ever to have 4 consecutive triple platinum albums in a row. Other bands have also done it since. They were the first.
I saw this tour in ‘77 and its a mile marker in my life. Styx still tours and sound better than ever.
I just recently discovered your channel! I love it! I graduated high school in 1978 and this was our class song.
Fun song at scatting rink back in the 70’s chasing girls !!
Come Sail Away Come Sail Away Come Sail Away With Me
Sebs! Renegades is the best Styx song! Second up, Blue Collar Man!
Dennis's voice always gives me goosebumps. I've been lucky enough to see them several times in concert. Yes, I'm old, lol.
Styx deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Check out the DVD Styx Return to the Paradise Theater from 1996. They sing alot of their hits on their.
GREAT Styx song. Styx has 3 lead singers. This is Dennis Deyoung singing lead on Come Sail Away, Dennis also sings lead on Suite Madame Blue ( my Styx favorite), Lady, The Best Of Times, The Grand Illusion, Rockin The Paradise, Show Me The Way, Castle Walls.... Tommy Shaw sings lead on Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Fooling Yourself, Crystal Ball, Too Much Time On My Hands, Man In the Wilderness, ..... James JY Young is the third lead singer he doesn't sing lead as much but he has some GREAT harder edge songs. Miss America, Half Penny- Two Penny, Midnight Ride, he starts off singing lead on Snowblind then Tommy jumps in. Just an unbelievable band who had top 10 hits in the 70's, 80's & 90's. For me I love their deeper cuts. Starting with Equinox and lasting thru Paradise Theater they had six straight albums without a bad song on any of em. They are fantastic. Styx is still going strong today but Dennis DeYoung is no longer in the band. He was replaced by Lawerence Gowan and their last two albums The Mission & Crash Of The Crown are epic. Tommy Shaw now fronts them, with Gowan and an occasional JY Young singing lead. With Dennis & Tommy they had Derek Jeter & Mariano Rivera in the same lineup from 76 - 83.
It’s even better in person!!!!
Saw them the first time in 1984. One of the cleanest bands musically I’ve ever seen. Dennis DeYoung is an extremely talented singer. James Young and Tommy Shaw have very different singing styles that all mesh together so well.
I love me some Styx’s so good so nostalgic 😉🎶🤘🏽music is life 🎶
Fleetwood mac, Hypnotized. This is about UFO's and alians. Also such a great song.
If you want uplifting songs, you've probably heard "Chariots of Fire" by Vangelis.
I saw Styx 6 times in the seventies
Queen.... Liveaid.... Or someone to Love (Montreal live)
Journey.... Faithfully
Boston.... More than a Feeling
What???
I mean they leave it up for interpretation as the band quotes. But EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER listened to this song thought Aliens 👽 the 1st time. I still picture this and Rosetta Stoned as Alien abductions.
Renegade, Blue Colar Man, Lady and To much time on my hands, are the biggest songs in thier discography
Saw Styx in Las Vegas a few months back. They still sound amazing!
“I’ve GOT to be free”
Seaworld used this song for the Shamu show for many years. Every time I hear it, I can see Shamu exploding out of the water on the tempo change
dude.. i legit love your reactions. Seems very genuine! and the kid covers ARE effing AMAZING! i’ve been watching them from for years now. My kids and grandkids love them too!
As far as Styx goes...songs written by pianist Dennis DeYoung were love ballads, and songs written by guitarist Tommy Shaw (who was in Damn Yankees with Ted Nugent) were rockers 😬
And Tommy wasnt all rock Boat on a river and Sing for the Day are hardly rock songs
Dennis wrote many rock songs. I wouldnt limit him to ballads. Ie Rock in The Paradise and Suite Madam Blue to name just a few
I always thought he was talking about aliens, but I heard a Dennis DeYoung interview somewhat recently where he states that it was human space-faring beings...not actually aliens. I'm sticking with the alien thing, though, cuz that's what I thought of when I first heard it as a child in 1977. (During the Star Wars/Close Encounters era).
Sing for the Day, I'm OK, big catalog with these guys.
Styx (spelled as the river Styx), was a legendary band dude. They have so many great tunes, do more
I saw Dennis DeYoung in the early 90s when he was in a nationwide touring production tour of JC Superstar where he played Pontius Pilate. He was amazing. I went because a friend of mine was also in the cast playing Judas but I had no idea that Dennis was in the cast until I got to the theater.
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
I love cartman singing this lol
Thank you for your reaction. I hope to possibly see more Styx reactions from you in the future.
If you'd like more uplifting music from Styx I'd suggest:
Fooling Yourself(The Angry Young Man)
Why Me
Crystal Ball
Boat on the River
Crash of the Crown
Radio Silence
I'm OK
Man in the Wilderness(Expanded Version)
STYX is a fun band that create a lot of emotionally uplifting music as well as music that deals with the struggles of life and the depression that comes with them.
Styx first album album was released in 1972 and they're still releasing music today. This song was from their 7th album released 7/7/77.
The Grand Illusion.
Styx has had 23 Top 100s, 16 Top 40s and 8 Top 10s. Styx was also the first band to sell four consecutive multi-platinum albums. Plus all of them sold over 3 million which was unheard of at the time.
Styx has had 6 main leads over the years with always 3 of them on any album. The lead in this song is Dennis DeYoung. Dennis plays keyboards, he often writes flowery piano ballads and proggy synth heavy tracks.
But overall the band covers a very wide variety of different styles and genres of music with each track and each album having a different musical tone and feel.
Styx seemed to have a running the about space. One called , Mission to Mars, where the people on the ship knew they would never come back. When NASA studied Pluto they found it had three moon one that they called Styx after the band.
Try “The Best of Times”. Luv ya.
Thank you for posting this. It is my favorite song, which I don't listen to often. But I had a rough day at work, so I really appreciated being able to listen along with you. Even though you recorded and posted this months ago, its still like having someone to listen to it with.
I love your channel..just now s tumbling on. You are reacting to all the greats..all my favs growing up to!!!!!🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
“Oh Lord, I’ll carry on” 😅best lyric line! thanks for sharing! :)
I had this song on an 8 track tape... played it over & over!! Styx was so popular in the 70's
OK Styx fans I think he will be doing Renegade soon
Angels with starships? Welcome aboard the Surprise, O Ha ha!
Ive seen Styx live three different times, and they are always amazing. Listen to their song Babe, written by Dennis DeYoung for his wife.
I've always loved this song, but I can't help but to hear Cartman singing it instead every single time since I heard it haha
Children of the Sun
Billy Thorpe
Just sayin'. 😁🍻
Please expose yourself to more Styx. So many great tunes. They were one of the first bands to understand the full use of the synthesizer.
from the album "The Grand Illusion"... he's saying he thought that they were angels but they were not. Angels serve God but if they are something else then they do not. The message is don't be deceived. Great song and story telling.
Try Styx former member Dennis Deyoung newest song Isle of misanthrope
I wonder just how many high school graduating classes had this as their class song. I know the one at my high school did, just like my class had Best of Times.
The lead singer sounds a lot like Getty Lee of Rush.i think their best song was Lady.
Did they sing a song it's you babe
" suite madam blue " and " crystal ball ". Styx rocks! 🔥
That musical Interlude was definitely the starship arriving.
Yeah, Man!!!
Yes you got that right, it was aliens in the end.
Styx are Amazing 👏
Blue Collar Man is a great song
It's probably way out of your "normal" listening genre, but how about a reaction to the Carpenters "Goodbye to Love"? (Studio Version) for something very unexpected in the middle of it.
The drummer is crushing it…
why am I crying? Did I accidentally listen to 'Come, Sail Away' by Styx again?
Whatever it's about, if I was gonna drop acid, or do some shrooms...this would be on my playlist. 😁
HAPPY you didn't do the "official video". The whole center section with synths and nonstandard time signature is cut out of that version. Same goes for the Radio version.
The radio version is the uncut version, the version that was reacted to here. I was there in 1977 listening to it on the radio.
@@Vaelsung1 Depends on which station you tune into; Classic Rock stations will play the full version. But many others will play the shortened version.
@@sean_b_drummer Fair enough 👍
Just pull up that greatest hit album and start picking songs. You won't go wrong with any. Something that you might find familiar is the intro of the song Renegade. Many, many, many music buffs would rank it very high on the most iconic intros list.
Just subscribed. You do good job. Here's a couple of suggestions for you... Angels among us by Alabama, The Grand Illusion by STYX and Would you walk with me by Josh Turner. I think you would enjoy all of them
nice
When people learn of the sci fi twist. 😂😂😂
Also, it’s not even really the idea of ancient visitors. Most visions tended to arise either from an innate psychological condition like epilepsy or schizophrenia, or be the result of unknowing substance ingestions like ergot.
Good thing you didn't do the video. They cut out the middle part.
If anyone claims to be a Styx fan, and recommends "Mr. Roboto", they aren't real Styx fans!
Most everything has been said on what other songs to do
I've seen them three times. Twice with the original lineup. (Including John)😇
They were better with Dennis DeYoung though
They're still playing and are still killer good😎
"I was a sailor for 24 years so I can dig this.
"But we missed out on that pot of gold". Yeah Right🙄
Maybe aliens are Angels......Dude, we are not alone. Trust me.😉
Alien by definition are not of this earth. Thus angels would be aliens.. Demons, or, fallen angels would also be, by definition aliens.
God said he was sorry he made man so i don't believe he would any aliens.💚
