Formed back in -72 but was really the result of two bands teaming up, Kansas and White Clover. This first line-up was Steve Walsh, Richard Williams, Robby Steinhardt, Phil Ehart, Dave Hope (bass) and Kerry Livgren (guitar). Kerry and Steve both played keyboards. Kansas signed a record deal with Don Kirscher in -74 after inviting him too their gig at a local bar, and letting in people for free and giving away beer to anyone. The queue was blocks long....... Created some kind of mega hit with the title "Song For America", and toured endlessly through The States. Kansas was from the beginning just an ordinary rock band, but was quickly compared to other progressive bands in the 70's like Genesis, Yes and King Crimson. With their unique sound and style combining r More... (Submit New Kansas Lyrics) (Submit New Kansas Lyrics) Review about Kansas reply to an anonymous reviewer | Reviewer: Rick ------ About the song The Wall performed by Kansas I hope someone reads this and finds value in my thoughts. I was also 49 at the time you wrote you review. I am now 50, looking at 51 during this montb of November. To me it is amazing that, "The Wall," a masterpiece of wisdom, was written by a man in his late 20's at the time. Let me share a piece of an email I sent earlier today: -------------------- These songs were written by Kerry Livgren. Note the "marriage" of both religious and secular philosophies in the lyrics. Mr. Livgren wrote these lyrics/songs when he was in a time of transition. He's a "born again Christian" these days since the mid-eighties. Isn't it amazing that transition brings the best out of all of us? If we were satisfied with the status quo, there would be no reason to change and the human race would never better itself. It seems that the greatest songwriters spoke of their ongoing evolution and change in the lyrics that they wrote. James Taylor, Kansas, The Beatles, Jim Croce, even Led Zeppelin were examples of this phenomenon. For whatever reason (perhaps growth and proliferation of our species?) we are attracted to the music and poetry that focuses on human growth and change and the process we all undergo both together and alone. Note that the songs I sent you from Kansas focus upon internal change and externalizing it, and, therefore, making the world, a better place. Making the a world better place begins by making ourselves better. It begins one person at a time. ------------- I hope that all who read this both reflect on learn from the "coulda, woulda, shouldas," of their lives and focus forward on the "can, will, and should," of what is to come. It's never too late. I am just now figuring that out. You're never too young! forever young | Reviewer: Marige ------ About the song Dust In The Wind performed by Kansas Last month I assisted to a kansas concert and it was great they said they were celebrating 35 years since they sang this song for first time if you hear the voice the violing and everithing it is the same voice it was I was 15 years when I heard it the first time and I went to the concert with my 26 year old daughter and she said mother this song is the most beautiful I've heard. we really enjoyed that concert dust in the wind | Reviewer: Ashido ------ About the song Dust In The Wind performed by Kansas I think everybody reconizes something from themselfs in this song. To me personaly, I start thinkin' about the girl that I'm in love with, and the fact that she's already with another. The song makes me sad, but it is so beautifull I can't turn it off. 'All my dreams pass before my eyes..' this part especialy reminds me off her, mayby because I have so many dreams of her.

The first verse is the sum of how I feel where I am in my life at this moment. What I could have, should have done, is quickly fading away........... ... | Reviewer: Righteous ------ About the song Dust In The Wind performed by Kansas This is... I... I... This is THE song... it is so true that whenever I hear it I just... I don't know what to say but that I agree with lynda, this shall be my goodbye-to-the-world song one day... Kansas: Overlooked and Under-Rated | Reviewer: John Hawkins ------ About the song The Pinnacle performed by Kansas If you appreciate real musicianship, you should see these guys perform live in their prime! Check out YouTube, these 3 songs in particular: Icarus Journey to Mariabronn The Pinnacle These 3 are all from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, 1974-1976. That was a great venue for LIVE rock on TV. Live and raw, no lip-syncs, no gimmicks. Rock may have reached it's "Pinnacle" about then. Carry On Way ward Son | Reviewer: Cave man ------ About the song Carry on Wayward Son performed by Kansas It is shame that no one knows good music any more, like Queen, or The Beatles, Eagles, lENIRD sKINARD, rOLLING sTONES,etc. But Kansas is freaking awesome. Kansas is freaking awesome, ROCK ON MY BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Awsome | Reviewer: libby ------ About the song Carry on Wayward Son performed by Kansas This song is so awsome... many people these days do not know what classic rock is... it's a shame. but this song brings back many extrodinary memories. Early Kansas rocker begins a journey | Reviewer: Uncle Scrotty ------ About the song Mysteries And Mayhem performed by Kansas Reflecting Kansas decidedly schizophrenic approach for this period, this uptempo rocker from "Masque" (1975) features baroque organ flourishes bedding down with churning overdriven guitar hooks that sound as if Gentle Giant were comparing notes with Lynyrd Skynyrd. However, the lyric, ostenably describing an "arcane nightmare", carries a classical theme that resonates through all cultures and eras; the emergence of the hero who must slay the dragon (the "Demon Foes" of "The Pinnacle"-- stay tuned) in order to embark on his mission. In "Mysteries and Mayhem", the nascent hero is persued by his Jungian shadow archtype, or "doppleganger", that dark fragment of our personality where our most disturbing impulses and tendencies are kept in check. To face down ones shadow, although a terrifying experience, is a necessary step in all our lives; otherwise the shadow overtakes us and we are "damned". carry on wayward son | Reviewer: benjamin ------ About the song Carry on Wayward Son performed by Kansas this song is fuckin awesome. It was awesome when randy marsh played it on south park. fuck yeah!!!!!!! Perfect Song. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dust In The Wind performed by Kansas I am 35 years old. I like Rock and Roll and also ballads. This is a nice song played by Kansas. This song means everything to me, the day I will die, People of my family who have past away, deep thought, the beautiful that life is. We have just one life. Live as If you would die tomorrow. Love and do not hate. The greatest meaning Kansas song ever! | Reviewer: Michael Zimmerman ------ About the song Crossfire performed by Kansas The song "Crossfire" by Kansas captures the essence of the human spirit and its historical need for God's Son, Jesus since the beginning of human life. The song harnesses the emotions and penetrating emptiness of living without the redeemption of Jesus. And like the song consistently states, we all will be caught in the "Crossfire" and will have to individually decide which way to go. The question invariably comes to will we make the right decision that brings life instead of death?
