Maybe? - Hudba
Can we please put the word out and get this kid some more views? I'm starting to recommend him on other reaction channels I listen to. I know there's a lot of people reacting to music now but I feel like he's better than many people who have more views than him.
So true.
Right!
I agree... I've been binging his videos!! Lol... Great job, D9! 💕
I was thinking the same thing. He should have a lot more viewers.
Totally agree. Its his music appreciation and not a theatric performance like the others!!!
This song was SO big when it came out that it crossed over and was played on all radio genre stations everywhere.
It's all about the journey, not the destination.
Nothing lives forever but the earth and sky.
So turn your face to the sun and revel in the glory of the miracle that is your life.
You are wise beyond your years, young man
Kerry Livgren, who wrote many of Kansas' best tunes in the 70s, is a very religious man and has even done a couple of Christian albums. His lyrics are always crazy-good.
Kansas has so many amazing songs. Keep going.
Daniel should also know about Petra, probably the world's most famous Christian rock band, active from the early '70s to 2005. Why do I mention them here? Because lead singer John Schlitt fronted Petra from 1986 til '05. Before that, he was lead singer of Head East, who recorded for A&M Records in the mid-'70s, and had a hit with "Never Been Any Reason," a song and band very much in the Kansas/Boston/Styx aural zone! Next turn, Daniel.....Head East!
Yes, his 1st solo album "Seeds of Change" is really great with many singers and musicians he personally admired like Ronnie James Dio, David Pack of Ambrosia, Jeff pollard of Leroux, Barrymore Barlow the drummer for Jethro Tull , Paul Goddard bass player from Atlanta Rhythm Section, and a few Kansas members Steve Walsh and Phil E hart.
I love Dust in the Wind. Thank god he didn't make this song religious.
I have to agree about the violin solo. I played violin from 4th grade through a few years after high school. I was 14 when this came out and I remember scoring it out on paper so I could play it along with the song. This song is on my funeral play list.
That violin is to Kansas what the flute is to Tull. Trademark sound, done tastefully and beautifully by each band, respectively. This song is about perspective, ultimately, the positivity or negativity of which depends on the individual.
I got to see Kansas when I was 14 in Joplin Missouri at Memorial Hall. They opened for Ted Nugent. What a great show. Thanks Daniel.
One of the biggest truths
I've learned is that we don't have soul's we ARE souls ✌️♥️
That’s a GREAT song to learn finger picking. Easy song to learn, Daniel. You can do it.
What a delight. Your enthusiasm makes my favorites feel new again. Such a gift. Thank you.
BTW the violinist is a true member of the group. 😁❤️✅
I knew I was more than old enough to be his mother, but I did the maths. I could be his grandmother. Omfg.
When I was about your age, my guitar teacher used this song to teach me a finger picking style called Travis Pick.
Filled with themes from classical mysticism. Beautiful and timeless message. Meaning cannot be found in time, in dreams, in achievements, in a legacy. Where can it be found. Only within, the interior life, the soul. You are your meaning. Thanks for the reaction :)
I always thought this was more a song of caution than a Debbie Downer. I feel they are saying to not hang on to the material. Don't spend your life chasing illusions. Focus on the things that count. The things you made in your life will fade, but the people you touch carry the real you with them and pass it along in turn.
King Solomon who wrote Ecclesiates said as much. After all of his thinking on everything subject, sex, women, society, wealth, birth, death, the only thing that mattered was to “ fear the true God and keep his commandments, because this is the whole obligation of man.”
That is exactly the message
Yes, he is taking it as a "why-bother-trying" song. It is a "keep-things-in-perspective-and-don't-let-superficial-things-and-stress-and-money-rule-your-life" song.
Absolutely love your reviews and appreciation of every musical instrument's contribution to great songs like this!!
I remember this song came out when I was 8 years old, loved it played it all the time. Then my grandfather passed away when I was nine and I remember riding home and I live out in the country, so the song came on the radio and it was the first time I ever listened to the lyrics. It helped give me a profound understanding of life. I think that all young people should hear the song when they first experience death in their life.
When Kerry Livgren was writing this and other song contributions for this album. He was in a deep spiritual awakening. Thus the album title; POINT OF "KNOW" RETURN. NOT NO RETURN.
An absolute classic!!
This entire album start to finish is one of a career defining run of stellar albums.
Check out the deep cut from this album.
"Closet Chronicles".
Dig it!
What is left? HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
Despite what different fairytales tend to lure you into, you have only *one* life... what a motivation to make the most of it!
You have to watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure if just for the scene where they meet Socrates and win him over by quoting "Dust in the Wind".
Be excellent to one another!
@@matthewhoag2609 And...PARTY ON, DUDE!
The best scene in the movie
“As sands in an hourglass, so are the Days of our lives.”
@@gabrielmauller8137 That line also reminds me of the SCTV spoof on soap operas, "The Days of the Week."
This is one of my favorite reaction videos of yours. You’re funny. You’re endearing. You totally light up when the violins kick in. I repeat it over and over again. So fun to watch.
Great reaction. ❤❤
I’ve never found the song negative. I’ve always read it as saying that there’s no point in being consumed by the worries of the moment, and that, once you’ve done what’s needed as best you can, there’s a lot to be said for just letting go, being at peace, giving your dreams their best chance, and appreciating those you love.
Haha! At the end of the song...Is that flute??? Nope, that's Steve Walsh. 😊
Wait until he hears " Journey From Mariabronn" and "The Pinnacle", that'll freak him out
This was the very first L.P. I bought with my own earned (babysitting) money. I too was transfixed by the cover art even before I'd heard any of it's songs.
When my now 32 y.o. son was in the 4th grade, so 1997... about 20 years after the release of this album, he came home from school bursting at the seams to tell me about "the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my whole life!!!"
He excitedly related how the local high school choir with full orchestra had performed this for his grade school.
That it was a song called Dust In The Wind, and it was about how no matter how much people try to make something that lasts forever, no matter how rich or powerful they are, everything is destined to turn to dust eventually.
I said "Dust In The Wind, by Kansas?"
He said "No... the choir sang it."
I said "Yes, but the band Kansas sang it first, about 20 years ago," and then began singing it to him.
I think he was a bit let down to think that his boring old mom could know "the most beautiful song ever!!!"
After a few days he got over that and I told him about it being on the first L.P. I bought with my own money.
That was about the time he really began to take an interest in music earlier than what currently played on pop radio stations.
7th grade dance...... first kiss on the cheek. Ahhhhhh the memories.
i like the work you put into actually looking up details of the song and the bands
It's unique to the world of reactors and makes you stand out.
Songs that make you feel and rethink everything about your life are the best...great reaction!
I saw Kansas on their last tour with the "legendary" lineup as a 16-year old boy. Helluva laser show on that tour (not surprising, considering the album they were supporting was titled "Audio Visions"). After that, Walsh left the band, and it was never the same. I was always a fan of this band. Had their poster on my wall as a kid. One of the first albums I ever bought with my own money was their "Monolith" album (which I absolutely love, many don't care for it).
Fast forward several years, I was serving in the Navy on a carrier, doing circles off the coast of Oman, and a USO show came to play on my ship, featuring KANSAS! Walsh was back with the band, but Livgren was gone, and that was a shame. Violinist Steinhardt was also not to be found, so Walsh was covering his strings on keys, and it just wasn't the same. BUT...the fact they were doing a USO show in the middle of the Indian Ocean scored major points in my book.
Kansas' live album, "Two for the Show", is dedicated to a friend of a friend. The liner notes go on to note how the album is dedicated to John Hoffert, who lost his eyesight in a car accident on his way home from a Kansas concert. My friend was in that car, and was fortunate to only get a bloody nose. Kansas helped the young man out by helping pay for his schooling and care afterwards.
For these reasons, Kansas will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. The music doesn't hurt that reserved spot, in the least bit.
Some days are dustier than others.
“And all your money not another minute buy”. Fantastic lyric.
I’d love your reaction to two Neil Diamond songs...one is I Am...I Said....and Diamond doing Hell Yeah live at Madison Square Garden....both incredible, insightful songs about life and our relation to it.
Daniel, I love this channel. Most other reactors don't really do a true reaction, it's obvious they just find songs with lots of views to generate traffic and then their reaction is, "That was good". I suggest your next "Kansas" reaction be "The Wall", as mentioned in Song Facts. Another great deep track that I think you'll like is "Child of Innocence".
The Wall and Cheyenne Anthem are my favorites!
It's one of those songs that I was sure every person in the modern world had heard by now.
Not when you're 16 years old.
@@sonyavincent7450 this is why he’s my favorite “reactor,” because he is young (he’s my son’s age but mine has heard all of these songs many times-Lol). I get irritated with the 40+ aged people pretending they’ve never heard these songs. Takes the fun out of it because it isn’t a true first-time reaction to hearing the music.
@@Sharon_K I agree. Daniel's excellent and so mature he sounds like he's about 35! He understands some of these songs better than me, its unbelievable.
Really like what you had to say after this beautiful song finishes. Very positive, and a nice counter to a pretty dark lyric. Another song you might wish to explore is Gilbert O' Sullivan's 'Alone Again Naturally'
From Wikipedia:
The title of the song is a Bible reference, paraphrasing Ecclesiastes:[3]
I reflected on everything that is accomplished by man on earth, and I concluded: Everything he has accomplished is futile - like chasing the wind![4]
A meditation on mortality and the inevitability of death, the lyrical theme bears a striking resemblance to the well-known biblical passages Genesis 3:19 ("...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.") and Ecclesiastes 3:20 (All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.) as well as to the famous opening lines of the Japanese war epic The Tale of the Heike ("...the mighty fall at last, and they are as dust before the wind.") and from a book of Native American poetry, which includes the line "for all we are is dust in the wind."[5]
Also the roman stoic philosopher/emperor Marcus Aurelius used the phrase.
See Kerry Livgren's autobiography " Seeds of Change" for more details ( and other Kansas songs too)
I liked your introduction. Keep channeling your little kid. I do it daily and am able to forget I'm 67 all the time!
All of these reaction videos from all kinds of people proves that these works of art are timeless. We felt that when we heard them and now here we are many lives later. I was listening to some of your videos with my wife and we shared such a beautiful moment together and I thank you for that. It sure sounds like the almighty was working through these artists.
I've loved this song for decades. Your reaction reminds me of my own when I heard this song for the first time many years ago.
“You’re my boy, Blue! “ 😂
This was a massive hit when I was in high school. Anyone who picked up a guitar had to try and learn the riff, along with Stairway to Heaven. All time classic. Great reaction Daniel - you really get life and indeed that is a gift. Don’t ever lose that perspective!
The meaning of this song is very different when you're old like myself (65).
At my age, I'm closer to the grave than I am to the cradle.
Now the song is more about letting go, accepting, getting ready to leave this life.
Beauty of this song stunning. Music helped us get through the confusion of Vietnam and assassinations of the time. Music was our closest friend and guided us into hope.✌️☮️
All-time song. Only requests from this patron from this rabbit hole:
Kansas: Portrait/He Knew (1song)
Styx: Fooling Yourself/Angry Young Man (1 song)
Boston: ANYTHING not already covered from debut album.
The song "The Wall" from Leftoverture fully explores the entirety of the Body/Spirit Dichotomy, The body is ultimately the barrier that must be transcended. What we do here certainly matters.
This group put out some pretty decent hits back in the day.
My votes for next Kansas would be Miracles Out of Nowhere, Hopelessly Human, or The Wall. Kansas is a deep rabbit hole. OR... Kansas just released a new album and first song, MOVING MOUNTAINS, is awesome. BTW... Kansas is still touring and the freaking kick butt to see live. Go see 'em! You will not regret it.
"What one person does can effect things, all down the line."
A song that began as a guitar exercise, Livgren's wife said to him" you should make a song out if it ". See his autobiography for details
Listen Kiddo I sat on my front porch in Ashtabula Ohio in the 70's with my guitar and taught myself how to finger pick this song...Give it a shot , no pain no gain you can do it . The band I was in had no violins , so we had to reproduce the violin parts on Keyboard...it worked ok .Simple song with a timeless message ..We don't last , things don't last we are not promised a tomorrow ...Just a forever !
Sure nice to have my state known for something other than the Wizard of Oz.😊👍
"Time is money" should be a scale to measure how important certain work is to you. The older you get, the less time you have, so the more precious it is. Therefore, you may not wish to squander it on meaningless pursuits that give you little fulfillment economically, physically, mentally and/or spiritually.
Styx, Boston, Kansas.
Sounds just like the guys I dated in 1978.
This Kansas song touches ones spirit. "Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky."
What fun, to see someone's reaction upon hearing this masterpiece for the very first time. Sorry, but the best years for popular music were the sixties, seventies and early eighties. Once disco, and later, MTV arrived, technology took over and raw talent was gradually pushed aside. I fear there will never be another time like those great years.
Couldn't agree more! We lived thru rock's golden years. The music industry has been mostly downhill since then, with a few exceptions.
This has long been one of my favorite songs. I was introduced to it by my dad who loved it as well. He passed in 2008 and every single time I hear it, I think of my dad and it provides me some time to think about my dad.
May he rest in peace.
RIP Robby Steinhardt, violin player. 19 July 2021.
So, you love the violin? You love heavy lyrics? You enjoying Rush so far? Then you need to listen to “Losing It” by Rush. You’ll dig it. Another great song along the same lines as Dust In the Wind and Losing It is “Time” by Pink Floyd, which as an aural bonus contains one of the greatest recorded guitar solos ever.
I never saw this song as a symbol for the pointlessness of life, but a message about taking the ego out of life. It doesn’t matter what you do or achieve, no matter how much or how little,, we are all dust in the wind, but the energy and matter of our physical existence will go on to continue making new life.
My first concert headliner was Kansas, Cheap Trick was the lead off band in 78.
They opened with Carry on Wayward Son and I was a fan.
I would recommend all of Leftoverture the fourth album. The lyrics are amazing and the music impeccable.
I am so glad that a young adult such as yourself are connecting with this music.
Thank your dad for opening your mind to this music. My son and daughter have thanked me and I was so happy for them.
Simon and Garfunkel's "The Boxer" and Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" have pretty violin music, too as well as being great songs. Please give them a listen. Just discovered you today, and have been watching for hours. Thank you!
No, thank you:) Welcome, I hope you're enjoying the videos my fellow cyberspacien traveler.
I am commenting so much since I found your channel that I hope It’s not overkill, but I am blown away by the wisdom coming out of your 16 year old mouth; never compromise or become complacent or think you ever have to justify your beliefs and values no matter how much success you are blessed with. I have a feeling you are probably quite popular with the grandmothers as well; however, not sure that was your target fan base.😊
Check out Kansas' "The Wall" very deep and meaningful....
There was another progressive rock band in the 70s who tried to capitalize on Kansas's Fame. They made a song called Lint in the Breeze but it never caught on.
Line-by-Line Lyrics Explanation
Just a forewarning: Kansas doesn't really seem to define the stanza very well, so I'm just going to call them by their numbers (i.e. "Stanza 1," "Stanza 2," etc.)
In Stanza 1 Steve Walsh sings, "I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone." Time moves on with or without the narrator, and he can't seem to hold onto the moments that he wants to savor and enjoy. He sings that "his dreams pass before [his] eyes, a curiosity." His dreams are things that he'd like to do or to accomplish. But even though they are his dreams and he wants to do them, he seems them just as a curiosity--something you go to see at the circus. He realizes that they're nothing; they're "dust in the wind." That's "[a]ll they are . . ."
Stanza 2 continues the heavy, hopeless imagery, describing the experience of living as a "[s]ame old song" and "just a drop of water in an endless sea." Using the perspective he's seeing everything from, Kansas' narrator sees so other people's dreams and realizes that his dreams are nothing special because everyone has them.
And even though he tries to attain those dreams, "[a]ll we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see." In the end, it's all still "dust in the wind." We eventually die, and life will go on without us whether we accomplished our dreams or not.
Stanza 3 seems to act as a bridge because the structure is unique. Walsh sings, "Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky." He's saying that we're all going to die and all of our dreams with us. The world will still be here and will still be indifferent to the fact that we once existed here.
With a sobering observation, Walsh sings, "It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy." We are going to die and no matter how successful we are, we're still going to die, and we can't change that fact.
Stanza 4 is especially haunting. The guitar keeps playing it's haunting rhythm, and Walsh repeats, "Dust in the wind / All we are is dust in the wind." We're here today and gone tomorrow. Once we're gone, it's all over.
Just a moment...
That's his message, and it's a sobering one. If you're looking for a biblical perspective on this song, you're going to be surprised that the Bible actually corroborates this message. Don't believe me? Read Ecclesiastes 1. Of course, there's more to the Bible than that, but God and Solomon do agree that a physical life here on earth alone is pretty pointless.
I love this song and your reaction to it! I like to think of all the crazy wonderful things we people can think and write and do in our lifetime, no matter how short or long we are given. Live each day to the fullest! Keep recording your reactions. You are a beautiful eternal soul ❤
Nothing comes from nothing except everything we are here ✌️♥️
You absolutely can play this. The pattern is called "Travis picking". Once you learn the pattern moving from chord to chord with slight changes will be achievable. Go for it.
Pretty sure that's how he came up with the song, practicing Travis picking. Another example of this pattern is Dear Prudence by Beatles/John Lennon.
yeah, I can play three songs on the guitar and this is one of them!
I learned this finger picking style in 1972, never heard it referred to as "travis picking". You are correct, he was practicing this FP style in a Dm open chord. His wife said, "You should make a song out of that."
@@jeffreywillis4258 since he's a beginner I didn't want to get too technical. I honestly think it's aTravis pattern with moving parts depending on the chords. However, if you think about songs like Dear Prudence the pattern is clearly related. Lots of cool things to explore with it. Daniel seems to be fairly comfortable with finger picking so I thought he could easily get it.
@@jonnyyen7169
I've been playing Dear Prudence since 1972 as well. Yes, some parts of the song are in a "travis picking" style but the chord progressions are much more difficult than "dust in the wind". "dust in the wind" = grade school level, "Dear Prudence" = masters degree. Also, Dear Prudence has at least 2 if not 3 guitar over dubs as well as special tuning. "Black Bird" also has elements of "travis picking" along with hundreds of other tunes. It is very common.
@@jeffreywillis4258 you definitely know your stuff! Forgot to mention Blackbird. Totally agree with your point about difficulty levels. Dear Prudence is truly advanced. I've never been able to get it to a presentation level.
Also, out of curiosity, what do you refer to the pattern as?
Daniel, you have a nice singing voice. btw, there is a live video on You Tube of this song.
I'm not getting the notifications. 😭. I love this song.
I have a love/hate relationship w/ this song b/c it's _SO_ beautiful, yet extremely sad(but true).
I saw them at a freee outside concert in my town and they still sounded fNtastic after all those years!
The first time I ever heard this song was back in February of 1978, when my grand father passed away and it was the day of his funeral. Thus, this song is a poignant tune in my life. :(
I saw Kansas for the first time on this Tour "Point Of Know Return" the title track is amazing. The T-Shirt was amazing, I wish I still had it.
You realize you’re becoming everyone’s grandson, right?
I believe the song is conveying that while here on earth, we need to strive to do some good. Because in the end, we're all just dust in the wind.
Late seventies, Kansas was huge. Even some of my more hardcore Evangelical friends liked it.
I had a friend that hated it. His parents were killed in a wreck on I-35E in the Dallas-Fort Worth area when he was in 10th grade and he was living with his grandparents. This song would mess him up every time.
Not that the song was bad. It is just that powerful.
One of my favorite songs of all time. ♥
Kansas is awesome. Several favorites. but the ultimate Kansas song must be "Stay out of trouble" (with an honorable mention of "Can i Tell You")
Kerry Lofgren was sitting at home playing the melody on his acoustic guitar and his wife asked what it was and he said it was a finger picking exercise he used! She said it's beautiful you need to show the band members and there you go!
neat story about the birth of this song: the guitarist was just practicing the fingerpicking when his wife came up with the idea that it could be a good song then it did
In Jr. High School I was asked to paint a mural for the graduating 9th grade. So I did so combining parts of Leftoverture's cover with Point of No Returns cover. I was a big Kansas fan back in the 70's! Great stuff those two albums.
Highly recommend the documentary/film Kansas:Miracles out of Nowhere. It’s really good and has a great story of how this song came to be.
It was my way to see life before knowing the song. And that's still the same today. But earth and sky aren't for ever too. So the important is not what you do in your life, but what you are.
Good philosophical analysis. I’ve thought about this often, that this is the best Existential song (maybe the only one) ever written. I appreciate your thoughts.
Kansas's last hit ironically was ANOTHER slow ballad, "All I Wanted".
It was also in Bil and Ted'S Excellent Adventure
I fell in love with this song during my first cross country trip to California. It was playing on the aircraft channel while crossing the Rocky Mountains. Hauntingly beautiful song.
I saw Kansas live about 3 years ago....funny to watch old men playing my teenage music to a crowd of old folks. I'm glad the younger generations are being exposed to this era of music. 1967-1978 or so, the golden age of Rock & Roll.
These songs were written from a pre-Christian perspective and show the seeking and soul-searching typical of someone in this phase. Without the realization that natural life is largely meaningless, there's not much reason to look for something more. Of course, these words are an echo of those repeated over and over in Ecclesiastes - "I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind."
@ShariSez1 Afraid of some biblical perspective?
Yes, it's making the exact same point as Ecclesiastes.
First, money is just the modern-day avatar for survival in this world. Anciently, people took what they wanted from other families, clans, tribes... and barter helped us become more civilized. Barter got refined over time... voila! Money.
Oh, and the ‘flute’ you we’re hearing during the last 30 seconds of the tune is Steve Walsh’s voice.
Perhaps Ecclesiastes 1 will add some additional meaning to this song for you.
YOU MENTIONED MY FAVORITE GROUPS FROM MY TEEN YEARS IN THE 70'S . BOSTON , KANSAS , AND STYX WERE AWESOME ( AND MY FAVORITES ) BUT BAD COMPANY HAD A TON OF GREAT SONGS ALONG WITH THE STEVE MILLER BAND , AND FOREIGNER .
we are here for a short while and must do the best we can to help and love everyone. it seems like just yesterday that i was listening to this for the first time and now i am rushing toward the end of my life. i dont know when it will come but i am closer to that then the beginning. and as the song says no amount can hold another minute back. i will go to heaven for my judgement and hopefully the things i have done here that were good will help and god will have mercy on my soul for the things that were not so good.
One can take this song and lay it right on top of the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible and it fits almost verse for verse.
"All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return."
"All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again."
"As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?"
"Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever."
"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
Kerry Livgren soon became a Christian after writing this song.
An incredible song with so much meaning!
I just realized that you recorded this on my mom’s birthday!This makes me reflect on the times that I spent in my childhood with her and my brother’s. I still miss her all these years later!😢👍🏻❤️☮️
Hopefully you will see her again soon, may she rest in peace for all eternity.
I LOVE Kansas! We used to play it at the lake when we were around the campfire. Such great memories! Have you considered doing something from the Eagles? The Long Run is a great album. The songs not released as singles like "Those Shoes", "King Of Hollywood ", "Disco Strangler", and "Teenage Jail". "I Can't Tell You Why " is probably the best song off the album. Hotel California is a classic album with a classic song that almost EVERYONE knows! Hope you choose to do at least one. "I Can't Tell You Why" is the one I would recommend.
Dude you just become my favorite reactor,I like that you take your time to analyze the tune.
This is my "turn off the lights, lay on the floor with headphones on, and play on repeat!" song... Still can get me in my feels... 💕
Kerry Livgren who wrote this song had sort of a fatalistic view of life until he became Christian.As a Christian he formed a group called A.D. That's real good stuff too!!
