♫ Dust In The Wind ♫ (Redux)
♫ Dust In The Wind ♫ (Redux)
This has been a day of … perception and pondering for me. I admit it … I am depressed in a way I’ve never been before and it is taking its toll on my psyche. This song popped into my head a day or so ago, and when I looked at it tonight, one part in the lyrics stood out for me …
… nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won’t another minute buy
I think there…

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
1976
"Carry On Wayward Son" is a song by American rockband Kansas, released on their fourth studio album, Leftoverture. Written by guitarist Kerry Livgren, the song became the band's first Top 40 hit, reaching number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977. The song has since remained a classic rock radio staple and a signature song for the band. It was the second-most-played track on US classic rock radio in 1995 and number one in 1997.
"Carry On Wayward Son" is considered the unofficial theme song for the television series Supernatural. It is heard in the final episode of every season of the show with the exception of the first season finale, however the song plays in the beginning of that season's penultimate episode. And if there's something old Tumblr should be remembered for, it was the Supernatural gifs added to basically every post.
89,1% enjoyed the road so far!

I had to go look it up but turns out Kerry Livgren did in fact become a Christian but he left Kansas not long after because it became too divisive for the rest of the band
i did actually know that because of my dad lol
i think they've got a few songs that are blatantly Christian, i just had no idea that crossfire was one of them until i actually read the lyrics lol

'Carry On Wayward Son' de Kansas : Une chanson qui a marqué l'histoire du Rock
Depuis sa sortie en 1976, "Carry On Wayward Son" est devenue une véritable légende du rock, une chanson qui résonne encore aujourd'hui dans le cœur des amateurs de musique. Ce single emblématique du groupe Kansas a marqué une époque et a laissé une empreinte indélébile dans l'histoire de la musique.
"Carry On Wayward Son" a été écrite par le guitariste Kerry Livgren, membre du groupe Kansas. La chanson est issue de l'album "Leftoverture", qui a propulsé Kansas sur la scène musicale internationale. Elle a immédiatement attiré l'attention grâce à ses riffs de guitare puissants, ses harmonies vocales envoûtantes et ses paroles profondes.
La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un voyageur solitaire qui se questionne sur le sens de la vie et cherche à trouver sa place dans le monde. Les paroles introspectives et poétiques évoquent les thèmes universels de la quête de soi, de la lutte contre l'adversité et de la persévérance. "Carry On Wayward Son" est devenue un véritable hymne pour ceux qui cherchent un sens plus profond à leur existence.
Le groupe Kansas, formé en 1970 à Topeka, Kansas, est composé de membres talentueux qui ont réussi à fusionner le rock progressif, le hard rock et le rock symphonique pour créer un son unique. Outre Kerry Livgren, le groupe comprenait le chanteur Steve Walsh, le violoniste et claviériste Robby Steinhardt, le guitariste Rich Williams, le bassiste Dave Hope et le batteur Phil Ehart.
Le succès de Kansas est principalement dû à leur capacité à créer des compositions complexes et mélodiques, mêlant des arrangements orchestraux grandioses à des guitares électriques percutantes. Leurs performances scéniques énergiques et leur son distinctif ont conquis les foules et leur ont valu une place de choix dans l'histoire du rock.
"Carry On Wayward Son" a propulsé le groupe vers de nouveaux sommets de popularité, atteignant le top 20 des classements musicaux et devenant un incontournable des radios. La chanson est depuis lors devenue l'un des plus grands succès de Kansas et est souvent considérée comme leur signature.
Plus de quarante ans après sa sortie, "Carry On Wayward Son" continue de captiver les fans du groupe Kansas et de conquérir de nouveaux auditeurs à travers les générations. Sa mélodie accrocheuse, ses paroles inspirantes et son arrangement musical exceptionnel en font une œuvre intemporelle.
La chanson a également connu une reconnaissance mondiale grâce à son utilisation dans de nombreuses bandes sonores de films, séries télévisées et jeux vidéo.
