“Winds Of Change” is the long-awaited follow-up to Jim Peterik’s now legendary “Jim Peterik’s World Stage” album. Set for release on April 26, 2019, “Winds of Change”, is another musical masterpiece featuring brand new Peterik songs in collaboration with a who’s who of melodic rock’s greatest superstars, including Kevin Chalfant (ex-The Storm), Dennis DeYoung (ex-Styx), Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Lars Safsund and Robert Sall (Work Of Art), Toby Hitchcock (Pride Of Lions), Danny Vaughn (Tyketto), Mike Reno (Loverboy), Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon), Jason Scheff (ex-Chicago), and a very special previously unreleased track by the late, great Jimi Jamison.
“Since the success of my first World Stage album back in 2001 and countless shows since, I have wanted to create a new musical legacy with this format,” says Jim. "Listening to voices blending as one has always inspired me, going back to the Beatles and other great vocal groups. I have always considered myself as much a fan of great bands and artists as I am an artist myself, so a project like World Stage is a dream come true since I get to pay homage to those whose music I love, by writing and performing with them. With "Winds Of Change" I was honored to work with some of the best, adapting my writing and production styles to fit a particular act. Many of the songs were actually co- written with the artists appearing too."
"I am a rabid fan of every artist on the album and it was such a thrill to try and bring out their best essence, but for me the most touching moment of this record is reviving an amazing lost track by the late great Jimi Jamison. As I mixed the new version, it was again like having Jimi in the studio with me as his stunning voice came through the monitors. There was not a dry eye in the room. With "Love You All Over The World", his spirit is still with us all," adds Peterik.

From the song: "We search for proof of Heaven in every stranger's face." This is a tremendously astute observation. It is wired into us to seek the image of the face since the time when we were comforted by it as infants. That amount of time comprises the entirety of our sentient lives. It doesn't matter how old you get nor how badly life has treated you. You will still "search for proof of Heaven in every stranger's face" like the song says.
This is the Styx sound we all know and love. He's still got it.
More proof of the genius and humility of Jim Peterik. He co-wrote this song, recorded it in his World Stage Studios, played guitar, sang backups, and works collaboratively with Dennis without ego. Dennis is brilliant here, obviously, but so is JP. Give the man his due.
everybody loves Jim peterik just only thing is you got to be more of a Chicago kind of person to really love him.
Too many he's just eye of the tiger guy..
they forget about the Ides of March and a whole lot more.
I just before Jimi Jameson died rekindling friendship..
also wrote a whole pile of 38 special songs in the early years him and Don Barnes still friends to this day I think Don played on this album too..and Sammy Hagar wrote heavy metal together..
he's very active in the Chicago local music scene helping artists younger are just kids and a whole lot more.
Jimmy just a great guy.
just like Denny.
Jím a great wizard! Like Ken Hensley.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jim P is such an underrated performer and song writer.
He's also worked with 38 Special (Rockin' Into The Night, Hold On Loosely) and Van Zant (Alive). IMHO "The Search Is Over" (Survivor) is one of the great ones. Incredible writing.
Dennis's voice is still at the top of his game in his 70s. Wow!
Jim looks like he’s having the time of his life! Throughout the whole video he doesn’t stop smiling.
What can I say about his greatness! I am just so happy he is here for us mere mortals.And of course Jim Peterik of Survivor is also Awesome.
What a well crafted song. I cant believe this song hasn't got millions of views???
Only means millions of people are missing out!
Dennis DeYoung Was, Is, and always will be THE MAN!!!!!!
Well said! And I grew up with the Beatles first!!!
Amen to that Brother! Dennis DeYoung has made my life better for the past 40 years. I love this man. I'd mow his yard for him...for free.
Dennis DeYoung and Steve Perry both have powerful voices. There are very few rock stars that have powerful voices.
@@clogue5117 Tommy Shaw's voice blows them both away especially right now.
@phil baker That's what my younger sister used to say about Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett.
This song couldn't be more Appropriate, than it is Today !!
Dennis DeYoung is Truly an Amazing Voice.
I just wish he was younger. So we would have him for 50 more years.
Dennis still sounds great in his 70’s!
The fact that he is able to pull it off with his voice is impressive
This guy and Styx got me through the 70s and helped me with my life... Dennis is the musical genius , at 74 his voice is incredible! Dennis,the Beatles, and sir Paul,
Dennis DeYoung sounds amazing. This song is amazing.
You look amazing.I may be at the next DDY concert.Im in the shadow of the 14th row.
This is Styx the way it should be. Nothing against The Mission (it is a great record) but Dennis is Styx, no questions asked.
Loved this song after the fist listen.
@@timepoet77 LOL Most of the songs on The Mission sound a lot more like Styx than this song does unless you think Babe and Dessert Moon are the quintessential Styx songs. This song isn't bad and could be a lot better if they changed the chorus section to something a bit more cooler.
He has a golden voice. Good genetics and taking care of oneself definitely helps.
Sounds like a hybrid of the song "Pieces of Eight" and "Come Sail Away." Dennis DeYoung sounds more like the band STYX than what STYX does today. Awesome song !!
Pieces of Eight is the first song that popped into my head as soon as the chorus started!
Dennis Deyoung is still the BEST, Styx just isn't the as good, without him!!!!!
@@markniemeyer8140 Larry is good though. Tommy and JY are at their best now and so is Dennis. They're all at their best right now
@@mattmensen7892 well said. Very diplomatic
I bought the artist completion World Stage album this song is on and I highly recommend the whole album to those people who like classic 80s AOR,Melodic rock. Also as a person with a Christian faith I find the lyrics very moving and inspirational.
My Grandkids will all be cursed with knowing Johnny Cash, Willie, Dennis DeYoung, Billy Joel, Nick Lowe, Steely Dan, Meat Loaf, Townes, and Leonard Cohen catalog's. I think it's going to work out. They will find the way to classical and blue grass, gospel, in no time at all.
I just love this song. When I was younger, whenever I felt down, I would put this cassette on, sing at the top of my lungs, and it always made me feel better. I don't know if anyone is still reading these comments, but thank you.
This song was released in 2019 on digital.
What are you referring to?
What a great combo. Jim and Dennis are a perfect fit.
This song sounds like it would fit perfectly on an interim album between Paradise Theatre and Kilroy. His voice still sounds incredible. He still gives the fans what they want in every show when he tours. A truly talented individual and class act!
TALENT LIVES FOREVER.
Dennis hasn't lost a step in all his years. This is proof that he's still as capable of writing classic Styx-sounding songs as he ever was.
If this is a preview of what is to come on the album, I'm super excited.
dennis' voice hasn't aged at all it's remarkable
Salvation comes by "faith" in the Risen Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 3:21-26). We are not saved by "Works." Again, by grace justified by "Faith." You think this is what DeYoung means when he says "... comes from within?" Great Song!!
Maybe. I found an older interview with Dennis where he says this too. The interview was from late 1980 or 1981.
He sounds like he did 40 years earlier. It's amazing!!!
Lyrics for PROOF OF HEAVEN by Dennis DeYoung and Jim Peterik
TELL ME ALL YOU KNOW
WHISPER IN MY EAR
THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
WERE DYING ALL TO HEAR
I PROMISE NOT TO TELL
WELL MAYBE JUST MY WIFE
PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS MYSTERY
THEY CALL THE AFTERLIFE
'CAUSE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE
I TELL MYSELF EVERYDAY
BUT WHEN I LOOK AROUND I SEE
A WORLD IN DISARRAY
BUT I KEEP ON HOPING I KEEP ON HOPING
WE SEARCH FOR PROOF OF HEAVEN
WE SEEK THE SACRED LIGHT
WE KNEEL WITH SAINTS AND SINNERS
HOPING FOR THE BLACK AND WHITE
WE LOOK FOR GUARDIAN ANGELS
WE PRAY FOR SAVING GRACE
WE SEARCH FOR PROOF OF HEAVEN
IN EVERY STRANGERS FACE
AND TELL ME ONE MORE THING
WHY ALL THIS MYSTERY
ARE THERE ANY MORE LIKE US
OUT IN DISTANT GALAXIES
CAUSE EVERYONE I KNOW
FROM HERE TO WHO KNOWS WHERE
WANTS TO KNOW THE REASON WHY
OH LIFE CAN BE UNFAIR
CAUSE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE
I TELL MYSELF EVERYDAY
BUT WHEN I LOOK AROUND
I SEE A WORLD THAT'S GONE ASTRAY
STILL I KEEP ON HOPING LIVING COPING
WE SEARCH FOR PROOF OF HEAVEN
WE SEEK THE SACRED LIGHT
WE KNEEL WITH SAINTS AND SINNERS
HOPING FOR THE BLACK AND WHITE
WE LOOK FOR GUARDIAN ANGELS
WE PRAY FOR SAVING GRACE
WE SEARCH FOR PROOF OF HEAVEN
IN EVERY STRANGERS FACE
TIAN TIAN TIAN TIAN
PARADISO CIELO
PARADIS
CAN YOU SEE THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES
CAN YOU FEEL THE HOPE INSIDE US
SHINING SHINING
CAN'T YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF MUSIC
THROUGH THE STREETS OF PARADISE
CAN'T YOU HEAR THE BELLS OF FREEDOM
CHIMING CHIMING
WE SEARCH FOR PROOF OF HEAVEN
IN EACH AND EVERY FACE
WE LOOK FOR SIGNS OF MERCY
AND PRAY FOR SAVING GRACE
I SWEAR BY ALL THAT'S HOLY
IF WERE TO RISE AGAIN
WE'LL FIND THAT OUR SALVATION
IS ALWAYS FOUND WITHIN
WE'LL RISE AGAIN
Two legends together.....
The man still has it
This has stuff that Dennis has been saying for DECADES. Amazing, and he STILL has that golden voice. Amazing! (yes, I said amazing twice)
I haven't listened to STYX SINCE DENNIS D YOUNG LEFT AND NEVER WILL
Now they just plain STYNX! 😝
Man his voice is still so strong . . It’s such a shame Tommy and jy won’t give their life long fans one last tour . It would be epic. Come on guys get over it
Saw him live early in March. He never disappoints. It helps that he doesn't go out of his way to strain his voice for a high note.
See his band now. August, Jimmy, the Rev, the Chi-town kid and drummer are simply outstanding. This band IS Styx. They have a TS with August but the band called Styx has no DDY.
And of course, Suzanne! :)
Styx was a great band. I think they’re a great band now, but it’s a different one. If they were friends, I’d love to see a reunion. But honestly, the hatred in JY’s eyes and body language when Dennis is brought up in interviews is pretty damn sad to me. What a waste of life to hate someone like that. To me, there’s always a look in Tommy’s face that the big reason he doesn’t do a reunion is to keep the peace with JY. I could be way off, as I’m not any of the principles. But if I had to choose my favorite of the two bands, I’d go with Dennis.... this song is the very definition of the spirit of old Styx.
@@bigjackandtheaspergonian66 JYs ego doesn't seem to be shrinking any time soon.
Dennis DeYoung YEEAAHH!!!
Dennis deyoung is the rare singer that even in his golden yrs still has a powerhouse voice him and only a small amount of singers from that era still sound terrific and I love this song..
Clean Living!
Come Sail Away Part 2 - Marrying spiritual and space. Outstanding! Needs some airplay! Step up Frontiers and make this a hit record!
Rock Man you wonder if that break at 1:25 was a nod to Come Sail Away, it was
Still a strong voice!!
Sounds completely like a Styx song
Amazing!!! this song shows, without a doubt, who was the main reason why Styx reached the level they did. Lucky for us we still get to enjoy his music and talent.. I hope there is more coming !
Jim peterik is an songwriter out of this world. When working together with Sir Dennis DeYoung the result is pure magic
Nice work guys,strong Harmony and guitar licks,Jim adds much,want to hear more.
Dennis De Young is so underrated as a singer. He is every bit as good as Freddie Mercury. He is completely pitch perfect all the time and his voice sounds the same now as it did when he was in his 20's and 30's. Compare to Paul McCartney (one of my favourites). He is one of the few people in popular music who sings properly. His voice is suited to ballads, music theatre and rock. He is incredible. I love this video as well. This guys are 70 and 73!!
With everything you just said, he is definitely not underrated.
@@jamesmoritz3584 IDK, for those of us who grew up listening to classic Styx, DDY would be on the list of greatest singers. In the broader scheme of things, he might not get a mention. That's the definition of underrated.
Love seeing these two legends together... ❤️❤️❤️
What sounds like Styx are the harmony vocals. Dennis hasn't had a studio album since 2007 so it's nice to hear this song on Jim Peterik's album and am looking forward to Dennis' new album in 2019 which will include this song also.
We now know who was responsible for that distinctive STYX sound
👍 Dennis
Can’t wait for more, more and much more
Si è vero. It's true.
This is really great! Sounds like Styx!
Congratulations Dennis on another hit song with August involved.
To me, this is the true Styx.
I don't see Tommy or JY. No this ain't true Styx
@@misterninetyseven2898 ~ 👍 Exactly. I guess the Dennis fans like the same old sound, riffs, and even key words (paradise) repeated over and over again.
It might be a new song, but not really anything fresh, or different from Dennis...
Well Styx & Survivor
@@misterninetyseven2898 he said it sounds like Styx, never said it was Styx.
Released on MLB Opening Day and DDY, Peterik and company just corked a giant home run with this one! Nicely done! Reminds me of the Pieces of Eight song. The spirit of Styx is back!
Sounds like traditional Styx. Awesome.
I love this on so many levels beyond simply sounding like Styx . Which is also a positive . But the message is uplifting , inspiring and just plain makes you feel good . I'll be getting this .
i think Jim wrote this Song thank you for this and Dennis thanks for make the stars Shine a litte brighter at this dark time
Thanks Dennis and Jim!!!!!!! Two men who wrote the soundtracks to our young lives. Thank you for standing strong and having the Guts and Backbone to tell the truth to a sick and dying world. We walk in the world, but are not part of the world. The gate is wide and open, but the path is very narrow! Stand strong my Brothers in Christ, We will meet one day in the presence of the Lord!
still has a hell of a voice...
I saw Styx in 1977 Grad year! This took me right back there, and it is fantastic. Thanks Dennis
Dennis still sounds GREAT!!! Can't wait for this album!!!! Real rock never dies!!!!!
James Michael "Jim" Peterik (born November 11, 1950) is an American musician and songwriter. He is best known as the founder of the band Survivor, as vocalist and songwriter of "Vehicle" by the Ides of March, and as co-writer of the anthem "Eye of the Tiger", the theme from the motion picture Rocky III. Wikipedia.
Cool! Eye of the Tiger is an awesome song!!
This has a hint of Pieces of Eight in it. Nice.
Great song! One of my all time favorites is Hello God. We may not call on God all the time but when we need him he is always there! Just invite him in.
Dennis was amazing at a recent concert in Elk Grove village - he made mention of this song - so here I am. GREAT SONG!
but you have to remember a lot of people think he comes across as a dick he says no I'm an egotistical Maniac I won't lie about..but also fond of the cool things about d d y is his self depreciating humor
Fantastic! DDY never disappoints. Unbelievable how great his voice still is, for me he is and will always be Styx.
Amen, brother
Dennis DeYoung is brilliant and still has it!!! Love this!!!
There is no proof of heaven dear Dennis and Jim - only your imagination. But what a great song...loved it.
Listen to his last album, '100 Years From Now'. It has some very Styx-like tunes on it.
This is so inspirational and amazing both spiritually and musically. I have been a drummer for 46 of my almost 50 years and was lucky enough to get to meet Mr. Peterik a few years back in Fort Wayne. A very kind man indeed. God bless him and all that he writes and has given us through years of wonderful music.
What a sound!! Classic
Always remember, Jesus saves! God Bless
Glad you put in about Jesus saving. Although I love the sound of this song, how disappointing to hear them sing that salvation is found within. So contradictory to earlier lyric about praying for saving grace. Sorry, boys, but it is found at the cross of Christ!
Dennis DeYoung's new album entitled "26 East Volume 1" will release on April 10th on CD, LP and digital. Volume 2 doesn't have a release date yet.
The name is in reference to Dennis's home address where he and the Panozzo brothers first played in a band together back in 1962.
This song "Proof of Heaven" will likely be on Vol. 2 as it's not in the listings of the first album.
I hope this song is on Volume 2. I bought Volume 1. This song is really good.
The after life is where you finish repentance and then meeting Christ. Love to all those who seek repentance and christ :)
Dennis Deyoung and Jim Peterik legendary
Wow! Welcome back, Dennis. God bless
God bless this guys!!!. Amazing song......so much talent wrapped up in a 5:31min. song.
All you young ones out here the two legends I mean God's of real music are talking to e everyone listen well we are all grateful to hear the best ever
I can’t believe how amazing Dennis still sounds! Doesn’t sound like he’s aged one bit! Obviously, it’s all genetics but I was listening to Phil Collins on his recent tour and, while I have great respect for him getting up and going out and touring at age 68, he has to sit down for the duration of his show and everything has to be tuned way down for him to sing. Meanwhile, DDY, at age 72, gets out there, moves all over the stage and has that golden voice he’s always had! Props to you, Dennis! I hope to see you and your band one of these days! Come to Michigan soon!
Its because Phil has major back issues, mostly deaf and can no longer play the drums and I would still see Phil over anyone these days diminished or not.
God instilled proof in our hearts from the beginning. We are without excuse
Come Sail Away Pieces of 8 and Best of Times all in one Fantastic
That's what I said. This sounds like something that was left off of Pieces of Eight.
@@TheBrannagan Yep
The chorus is about the same as the song "Pieces of Eight".
Yes. Omg. Pieces of 8. I love it
GREAT TUNE!!! SOUNDS LIKE NEW "STYX"!! NICE VOCALS AND MELODY.
Absolutely brilliant.
This sounds amazing. I know it’s not Styx per-say, but it def. has that feel and really rocks. Thanks
Awesome!!! - Thank you Dennis and band - your tour stop was Great!! Here in Ohio - This sounds great, WE WANT MORE!!! - no matter what you play Solo,Styx, Cristian Rock - You'll always have Us!!!?
All I can say is WOW!!! Love it, way to make the sound that is classic STYX. Excited for both DDY and J.P.;s new albums.
Proves that Dennis was and will always be the voice of Styx.
This song had me on top of the world.
Praise the Lord. And, thank you for all the joy you given me!
It’s a hit! Radio Rock stations need to realize they have a hit song .if they would just play it ! Once it’s in rotation the listeners will do the rest by creating memories while the song is playing on the radio. Radio programmers and producers need to wake up!!!🎶😎
Amen.
I'm playing it on my online radio show a little bit later, probably within about an hour.
Awesome Debra!🎶😎
@@rickmenmusic The Operations Manager of the station was tuned in and he was floored by the lyrics, the music, and the fact that at 72, Dennis still has that voice.
Debra Kadabra That’s great! I called a Classic Rock Station. I asked them to play the new Dennis De young song Proof of Heaven. Who ever answered the phone said.” Who’s Dennis De Young”. I said your kidding right! You play Styx all the time on this station. He said yes we do. He finally figured it out. And he would look into seeing if he could play it. I couldn’t believe it!!
I've listened to this many times since it's been uploaded, and I still get goosebumps. Dennis' voice is as fantastic as ever, and the music and lyrics evoke memories of early Styx. I hope Dennis adds this song to his touring set list.
The Man The Legend ,,, You Go Dennis
Amazing job Dennis you sounds the same as you did in 1971. God bless you
his voice is still as good as the good ol days !
Omg, what a beautiful song !!!!
Dennis still killing it after all these years !!!!! Love this song !!!
Gosh, I love this song so much. I play the video at least once a day. It's so beautiful. I hope Dennis can tour with it when tours return. This is among my top 10 favorites between Styx and Dennis' solo career.
Dennis DeYoung is so talented, I think he can work with anyone who really cares about the music and not the hurt egos like TS and JY.
Peterik deserves a lot of respect, I actually saw him live a few weeks ago still rocking, and such a nice man. He should get consideration for the RnR HOF as a contributor.
The harmonies and chords between 1:22 and 1:27 are the perfect "Styx" sound that is really hard to replicate!
Absolutely Awesome Guys
That fact remains Dennis DeYoung is Styx. What is awesome about this video is those playing the drums, guitar, keyboards weren't born yet when Dennis and Styx wrote and produced the Grand Illusion and other great albums. Keep Rockin Dennis! I'm so glad Dennis included this song on his album.
2 legends!!! what more do you expect???
I LOVE Dennis! He's totally amazing!
Great song Dennis. I love listening to all of your new and old music. Your songs will never go out of style.
Grande voce! Anche dopo i 70 anni sei sempre un grande!
So Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dennis deyoung has the best moves in the whole performance for his age.
Men in their 60's and even more with all due respect but great musicianship at its best. Same quality as in Stix and beyond
This is insanely good! Possibly one of my favorite solo Dennis songs!
THIS SONG BRINGS SMILES TO PEOPLE, SOMETHING WE NEED NOW MORE THAN EVER!
Shalom
Wow!
Many rock bands have sung Peter's music and recorded super hits with them that lasted through the ages of rock and roll. Don't forget Rocky.
