Lyrics Dust in the Wind Lyrics dust in the wind Continue This article is about a 1977 Kansas song. For the 1986 film Hou Xiao-Sien, see the dust in the wind (film). For Todd Rundgren's song, see something/anything? For the songs of King Gizzard and the lizard wizard, see your eyes like the sky.

The song peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of April 22, 1978, making it kansas's only single to reach the top ten in the US. The 45-a-minute single was certified Gold for sale to one million RIAA units shortly after its high popularity as a hit single. More than 25 years later, the RIAA certified Gold Digital Format downloading songs, Kansas' only single to make it certified on September 17, 2008. The Kansas version of Inspiration The title of the song is a biblical reference, paraphrasing Ecclesiastes: I thought about everything that is achieved by man on earth, and I have come to the conclusion that everything he has achieved is useless - as the pursuit of the wind! Meditation on mortality and the inevitability of death, the lyrical theme bears a striking resemblance to the famous biblical passages of Genesis 3:19 (... for dust you art, and to dust shalt you return.) and Ecclesiastes 3:20 (All go to one place. mighty fall at last and they like dust in front of the wind.) and from a book of Indian poetry that includes a line for all we dust in the wind. Writing/record/influence of the Kansas band comment on the success of Dust in the Wind in Dust in the Wind (in 1979): I thought Dust in the Wind would be a hit from the beginning. It defies the basic formulas - Formula Boston, Alien, Hearts - which most groups try to follow. They don't understand that it's not a formula, it's a song. Phil Ehart (in 1989): We are a hard rock band that is known mainly for the ballad we did a decade ago. We're an album group and it's an accident, if any, our songs were a hit. Rich Williams (in 2010): Our hits hits by accident. Dust in the Wind and Carry On Wayward Son are not the formula of songs. They were flukes. Kerry Livgren designed the guitar line for Dust in the Wind as a finger-picking exercise. His wife, Vicci, heard what he was doing, noticed that the melody was good, and encouraged him to write lyrics for him. Livgren wasn't sure if his bandmates were sniffing, as it was a departure from their corporate identity. After Kansas rehearsed all the songs meant to be recorded in June and July 1976, Livgren performed Dust in the Wind for his bandmates, who after a moment of stunned silence asked, Kerry, where was that? Kansas guitarist Rich Williams recalled that Livgren played his bandmates a real rough record, which he played on an old reel to shake. He just muttered the lyrics, but even hearing it in this naked form... We said: This is our next single. Recorded at Woodland Studios in Nashville, Dust in the Wind included the electric guitar of maestro Livgren, who played the Martin D-28 acoustic guitar borrowed from Williams: highlighted by Robbie Steinhardt's electric violin work, the track included Steve Walsh as vocalist, despite the fact that it was recorded after Walsh immediately resigned his bandmate Walsh's 1977 Departure from Kansas last month. In fact, he switched to the second choice in favor of cutting out the title of his parent album, Dust in the Wind began to receive radio airwaves as a track of the album, which affected the underperforming performance of the single Point of No Return, which dropped out of the Top 40 from the peak of the Billboard Hot 100 No 29 in the week when the single Dust in the Wind debuted at number 81 on Hot 100 211. , 1978. On the Hot 100 of April 1, 1978, Dust in the Wind reached No. 10-best No.11 peak of the 1977 Kansas breakout hit Carry on Wayward Son - rising to a hot 100 peak of No.6 with a total of ten stints for seven weeks. Dust in the Wind will remain the highest single on the Kansas charts, with only two of the band's next five Top 40 hits reaching the Top 20, Play the Game Tonight and All I Wanted, with matching hot 100 peaks at No.17 and No.19. Billboard praised evocative lyrics, catchy melody, as well as vocal performance and how stringed instruments evoke the mood. Kansas also released a live version of Dust in the Wind on its album Two for the Show and a symphonic version on Always Never the Same.

    A SURVEY OF RADIAL VELOCITIES in the ZODIACAL DUST CLOUD Brian Harold May Astrophysics Group Department of Physics Imperial College London Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine London · 2007 · 2 Abstract This thesis documents the building of a pressure-scanned Fabry-Perot Spectrometer, equipped with a photomultiplier and pulse-counting electronics, and its deployment at the Observatorio del Teide at Izaña in Tenerife, at an altitude of 7,700 feet (2567 m), for the purpose of recording high-resolution spectra of the Zodiacal Light. The aim was to achieve the first systematic mapping of the MgI absorption line in the Night Sky, as a function of position in heliocentric coordinates, covering especially the plane of the ecliptic, for a wide variety of elongations from the Sun. More than 250 scans of both morning and evening Zodiacal Light were obtained, in two observing periods – September-October 1971, and April 1972. The scans, as expected, showed profiles modified by components variously Doppler-shifted with respect to the unshifted shape seen in daylight. Unexpectedly, MgI emission was also discovered. These observations covered for the first time a span of elongations from 25º East, through 180º (the Gegenschein), to 27º West, and recorded average shifts of up to six tenths of an angstrom, corresponding to a maximum radial velocity relative to the Earth of about 40 km/s. The set of spectra obtained is in this thesis compared with predictions made from a number of different models of a dust cloud, assuming various distributions of dust density as a function of position and particle size, and differing assumptions about their speed and direction.

  • In 1977 the Group Kansas Added a Song to Their Album Point of Know
    The Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time February 5, 2012 Center for Spirituality and Sustainability Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Edwardsville, Illinois + Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki Bishop of Springfield in Illinois In 1977 the group Kansas added a song to their album Point of Know Return that soared to the top of the music charts. This last minute addition – which was almost not included on the album - became their most popular song. The song, of course, is “Dust in the Wind” and it echoes the sentiments of Job expressed well in the first reading today. After everything in his life was taken from him – his family, his livestock, his crops, and even his health – Job sighed, saying, “Remember that my life is like the wind” (Job 7:7). In “Dust in the Wind,” Kansas sang: I close my eyes Only for a moment and the moment’s gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes with curiosity Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind 2 Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind If Kansas is right – if everything we do crumbles to the ground and if all we are is dust in the wind – then Job’s question is almost certainly true: “Is not man’s life on earth a drudgery” (Job 7:1)? There are many people today who go from day to day with this question ever in the hearts.

  • KANSAS Has Spent Than Four Decades As a Part of the Soundtrack of the Lives of Multiple Generations of Music Lovers
    KANSAS has spent than four decades as a part of the soundtrack of the lives of multiple generations of music lovers. The band’s first public statement appeared on their self-titled album in 1974. "From the beginning, we considered ourselves and our music different and we hope we will always remain so." Little did this legendary rock group realize that back in the early ‘70's, what seemed to be “different," was actually ahead of its time. This "garage band" from Topeka released their debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner. The band has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), and a million-selling gold single, ‘Dust in the Wind.’ KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70's and ‘80's and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ was the #2 most played track on classic rock radio in 1995 and went to #1 in 1997. In 1998, KANSAS released an orchestral album; "Always Never the Same," recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London. They followed with an orchestral tour accompanied by top-caliber symphony orchestras. In 2000 KANSAS went back into the studio with original band member and songwriter Kerry Livgren to produce "Somewhere to Elsewhere," the first album featuring all 6 of the original players in 20 years! The ten new songs were written by Kerry Livgren and recorded in his studio in Topeka, KS.

Bardin, BM Eastman School of Music: Theory 481 The goal of this paper is to, after providing a brief historical context, show a show a multi- faceted analysis of the song “Carry on Wayward Son” by KANSAS. Specifically, I will be looking at the lyrics of the song and giving my personal interpretation of their meaning, The formal arrangement of each section of the song, an analysis of the chords and their harmonic function, the melodic content and notable aspects of each formal section, the use of syncopation, and KANSAS’ use of instruments and timbres over the course of their song. It is my goal that looking at this information will allow me to create a generalized statement that evokes the essential characteristics of the track. KANSAS originally formed as a stereotypical ‘garage band’ out of Topeka, KS in the early 1970s. since their debut album in 1974, they have produced eight gold albums, three sextuple- platinum albums (of which Leftoverture (1976) is one), a platinum live album, and two different one million-selling singles. Over more than 40-year tenure of the band there has been several changes in the band’s line up, including a hiatus where the band was broken up in 1984. Currently, Phil Ehart (percussion) and Rich Williams (guitars) are the only two original band members still playing with the group. While the specific group dynamics play an interesting part in KANSAS’ sound and popularity over the years, it is beyond the scope of this paper.
