    • @VIDEOHEREBOB
      @VIDEOHEREBOB Před 7 lety

      I would say that's not Walsh in the harmonies. Walsh's vocals had this intense ring up high. I've studied Walsh's early year's vocals and he was right up there with the best of them.

    I use to listen to this song in bars before I found Christ. I use to relate to it so much. Now I hear it and understand the pull of God and how lonely we are without him. It's bittersweet because of all my experiences before Christ at the time seemed so important...and now I can see how dark and lost I was...its awesome watching him perform it knowing where he is now spirituality

    my father and john were best friends growing up and i remember when i was younger he would always tell me stories about him and how funny he was and all the silly things they did together. they were both born and raised in lakewood california, and they were always very close until we had moved to northern minnesota. My dad hasn’t gotten a call from john in about 15 years now and it really breaks his heart but john is an amazing man!

      I couldn't find any evidence that J. Elefante was in the Boston band. But, Michael Sweet played for Boston from about 2008 to 2011. And Elefante started his career with Kansas in 1981. Later, he (and his brother) had there own Christian band called Mastedon.

  • @imcaryg
    @imcaryg Před 9 lety +10

    This song is one of the greats and it's easy to see why it's widely acknowledged as a rock classic. And John Elefante's still has it- his voice sounds strong and powerful. The band is no Kansas, but they're definitely decent asnd show some talent. But let's be honest, unless you are a conservative pew dweller, it is sad to see this being performed in such a sanitized, churchy environment rather than to a much larger audience. Maybe that is what Elefante has chosen, but even then, it's sad to see such a talent so limited in his audience and exposure.

    • @DalePearl
      @DalePearl Před 7 lety +3

      He has chosen a more personal approach. You can go up and shake his hand and talk to him. He can actually impact more lives with this approach because now his songs become tied to personal testimonies.

  • @TechGently
    @TechGently Před 2 lety +1

    Kansas asked him to take over for Steve Walsh (who's voice had some very good years behind them but we all know what happened without dragging it all out). John declined the offer because of his devotion to Christ, but I think Kansas has spread the word on a larger scale. Kerry Livgren (who wrote this song) is a born again Christian as well as Dave Hope, a retired Priest. Mixed feelings about that but you can't force someone to do something they just don't want to do.
