(c) 1993 MIDICraft Compositions and Arrangements
At the time of their greatest success, this American rock band
consisted of Phil Ehart, Dave Hope, Kerry Livgren, Robbie Steinhardt,
Steve Walsh and Rich Williams. Incommon with another place named group
'Boston', 'Kansas' were one of a wave of unchallenging US rock bands who
arrived on American FM airwaves during the mid to late Seventies. While
Britian was experiencing the upheavels of the New Wave/Punk explosion,
America was serving up a carefully crafted genre that combined old
wave rock instrumentation and rhythym with pop harmonies and
melodies. Acts like 'Foreigner', 'Styx' and 'Journey' fell into this
category also.
Kansas were formed in 1972 and released their eponymouse debut LP in
1974. The Album that brought them major prominence was
'Leftoverture', which reached No.5 in the US Charts in April
1977; it was boosted by its dynamic opening track 'Carry On Wayward
Son' which climbed to No.11 on the singles list. The next album 'Point
of no Return' was another US top 10 item, the band's biggest and
finest single, the million selling melancholy, philosophising ballad
'Dust in the Wind'. During the Eighties Kansas' career went through a
long period of stagnation and after a break-up were seen to re-assemble
with a new producer and were planning a new album.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this simple rendition of Kansas' 'Dust in the
Wind', I particularly like this song because the Kansas vocalist, Steve
Walsh has an amazing voice, which when singing 'Dust in the Wind'
communicates as simply wonderful! Lot of soul man!

Dust in the Wind
Words and Music
by Kansas
I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the Wind
All they are is Dust in the Wind
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
INSTRUMENT BREAK/SOLO
Don't hang on
Nothing lasts for ever but the earth and sky
It slips away
An' all you body will wonder a minute by
Dust in the Wind
All we are is Dust in the Wind
All we are is Dust in the Wind
All we are is Dust in the Wind
Everything is Dust in the Wind
Everything is Dust in the Wind
Everything is Dust in the Wind
