Dust in the Wind

Dust in the Wind by Kansas

Get Dust in the Wind now from Amazon.

       Who else should sing Dust in the Wind but the band named after the dust bowl, Kansas.  The song was a major hit for the band that has been heard in TV adds, movies, radio commercials, you name it.  Very odd for a popular song, its lyrics profess a melancholy and pessimistic outlook on life, which is nonetheless a rational one.  The song is sung in a haunting, wistful tone in keeping with the lyrics.  "All we are is dust in the wind" refers to how fleeting a moment are our lives and everyihing in them.  We may rant, rave, love, cry and laugh, but it is all in the end, a temporary state of being.  As Will Shakespeare would say, life is a tale told by an idiot signifying nothing.  Right on Will and Kansas.  You have to agree, though, that this is a very unusual theme for a blockbuster popular hit song.
