great melodic song....awesome

[MisterSynyster]

this sounds like the kind of music i hear in some Kokiri shop

[juliano66]

Love the cover on this album, classy older gals with Easter Island earrings--

why not?

[Poltr1]

Great showcase for Dennis DeYoung's soloing chops! Wish I could play like that.

[mrgoatlives2003]

@PluralArch - Then, why are you listening/commenting? I feel certain that no one forced you to come to this post.

[PluralArch]

Oh good grief. Another forgettable song. Styx was famous for them.

[TheSnake4149]

@PluralArch you don't know good music if it bit you in the ass!!!!!!!!

[eltotti1971]

Apoteósico... Coincido plenamente con rokker101

[chickadii415]

Thank you, Dennis, for helping me rediscover why I love classic rock so much. <3

[mapleblackdrums]

It's best when listened to on vinyl like all of them. Pure sweetness.

[leprowler773]

@mapleblackdrums yes it is, I was doing so earlier, and I like hearing the needle going over each bump on the record, it's very comforting when u hear it for some reason...

[agenda88s8]

CTFxC FTW! Dennis you rick for sending me here! love you charles and alli! Cant wait till november 20th!

[MeantToLive54]

CTFxC FTW amazing song

[CuzimERNNNNNN]

2:30 - 3:02

Fucking magical.

[MrGlenntipton]

Styx is way too fuckin cool to quit.Dennis is missed .and you guys should book a show togetherLMAO

[Woffar]

I'm a huge fan of Dennis DeYoung, own everything he does, and don't believe in the post-Dennis styx. However, it is quite hard to deny Tommy Shaw. Songs like "Sing for the Day" and "Man in the Wilderness" show amazing talent and are for me, very powerful and moving. I would suppose that if Tommy Shaw was never in Styx. Styx would not have been half as popular, and Tommy Shaw would be ten times more popular than he is and was. A powerhouse solo artist that rivals the best.

[mtedeschi]

@Woffar Absolutely spot on. Tommy Shaw is magnificent.  :-)

[kcndora]

this song brings incredible emotion and memory for me. I so loved Styx back in the day.

[Rockstaralan]

@kcndora Styx is still out there and kickin' a%# every night, still playing to Arena crowds at damn near the same capacity that they did 30 years ago or more. Even with the absence of Dennis DeYoung (He was fired from the band in 1998) and the late John Panozzo, The guys are still as good as ever. Current lineup is Shaw, JY, drummer Todd Sucherman, Ex-Babys/Bad English bassist Ricky Philips, Lawrence Gowan on Keys/Vocals, and occasional re-appearances by orig. bassist Chuck Panozzo.

[rutileTiO2]

I have been looking for this song for a long time.

thank you upload!!

[samlo098]

I hope they play this when they come to Sunbury PA in August 2011 !

[lismclis51]

GOD!!! I forgot about this wonderful song. Incredible musicians these guys are. I saw them live 3 times. Very underrated during this era. Thank-you for this post. Brings back a lot of wonderful memories for me.

STYX---''SING FOR THE DAY''

[cbmccarthy]

"Styx is maybe the most underrated group ever. They never get the recognition they deserve. This song is a great example of that" Nothing more to say

[woodja777]

USMC 29 Palms MCCES C & E Schools Basic Electronics Theme Song for our barracks!!!!

[MusicisA1]

Always loved this....it's such a happy song!

[SYPDelam]

What an awesome song!

[65871569]

CON ESTA CANCION NOS IDENTIFICAMOS MI HERMANO GUSTAVO Y YO JORGE PORQUE CADA VEZ QUE LE LLAMO POR TELEFONO Y LE PONGO ESTA CANCION YA SABE QUIEN LE HABLA

[danning1]

God is this an incredibly underrated song or what? It isn't even on a lot of the greatest hits CDs that the record companies release for Styx every few years.  One of Tommy Shaw's best, and that's really saying something.

[SuperEkir4505]

Styx is maybe the most underrated group ever. They never get the recognition they deserve. This song is a great example of that

[generalBlasto]

I have always liked this song, There dave, I said it.

[BifMcAwesome]

On of the characteristics of Styx is their building many of their songs on older English, Celtic and European structures, including time signatures (6/8), instrumentation (synthesized flutes, lute like mandolins) and simple bass parts, usually octaves.

[amcanmike]

NICE

[Vatch1966]

LoL Dennis DeYoung has said that he has always hated the album cover for PIECES OF EIGHT.

[edongzki364230]

gapoboy63 my first styx favorite... it made me fall in love with band' music until now.. awesome

[galaxian00]

"Trivia" Tommy Shaw later named his little girl Hannah long after writing this song. He still performs this song with the remaining menbers of Styx. Great song!

[Smoke14ekomS]

This is the first Styx song I ever heard. In Dallas, one of the local rock stations debuted this album as it's first single--when in reality it was "Blue Collar Man" that was the first single. I fell in love with the band and bought this album as my first. I used to sit in my room listening to it on a turntable with headphones from cover to cover while reading the lyrics off of the insert. Been a fan for life.

[amcanmike]

@Smoke14ekomS HA I DID THE SAME  WOW

[arexusful]

Wonderful song....one of the best Rock bands of all the times!!!!!!

[apieceofeight23]

Dennis DeYoung is easily the most prolific synthesizer player in rock and roll.

[pewploid]

This album was one of the best made by Styx....if not the best!!!!!

[antholgogy]

MAN,,,when i left home at 15,,the only thing i had with me was one pare of pants two shirts ,socks,,and you know,,BUT ,the best is the 8track,s of all of the Styx,,i had ,,and i will tell you it kept me going in the good and hard times on to street,,,SO ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU

[missjonaslovertje]

i don't love the music....:P

[andrevlieland99]

what a greatfull song heard it by friends at home,ilove it

[dahoss65]

This was my favourite band when I was like ten. I knew and still do know most of their songs word for word. :)

[calcaylor]

Way underplayed. Fantastic song!  THANKS!!

[BlackMytilus]

Zijn Amerikaans.

[MyLalinea]

tjoppy ,nederlands? muziek uit de jaren zeventig

[Tjoppy]

Choleri cholera wat een lekker nummâh!

[alcatras4]

Gotta' love that Oberheim OBX syntheziser work. Even though Dennis thought too much of himself, there is no denying his musicianship and all of Styx for that matter. Nowdays nobody plays with the craft that Styx did. Nowdays they just get a drum machine and sing...well not even that...they bark meaningless crap and get awarded for that? Anyway Styx has left there mark forever.

[billieredsocks]

This brightened my day...thanks!

[rokker101]

Absolutely awesome stuff !! ... the 70s was the best era for music without a doubt .. I have a very ecclectic taste and love great musicianship (ELP ..respect!) this is a great song from a band the likes of which we will never see again .

[nebulabob]

@rokker101 I agree with you 100%,the music in the 70's was just amazing,its so sad what music has become these days.

[toenails54321]

Dennis said "Pieces of Eight" 'contained 8 of their very best songs'. And I do have to agree. Thanks Styxfan93 for putting these on!!!

[palomopicon1977]

nice song of styx but it was no included on my chart from 1978

[jwmellott]

It maxed out at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100. Just missed the top 40

[palomopicon1977]

I used to make my chart of one-hundred songs like the radios but this it was not included on my chart from 1979 cause I was confused if is was from 1978 but at the years 1978 issued the blue collor man that song was on my private chart

okey so I recorded the song on mp3 but my original chart on my own are at colecctions from Peru I hope your answer

[marcianobis]

me pasa lo mismo que a Ud. Hacía más de 25 años que no lo escuchaba, es tan bello como lo recordaba.-

[etrae]

I love everything Styx ever did but this is one of the most outstanding!

[sahajad]

Since we cannot see Tommy Shaw singing this song, please upload the song with Tommy Shaw in it.

[toocowstoomany]

One of the best Tommy Shaw songs!

[jwmellott]

Tommy Shaw liked to make fun of "Babe" . This song is a little better, but still reminds me of Babe

[MIAMI1967]

Tommy wrote this song about his dog "Hannah". True story!

[KelleyMag]

I thought he wrote it about fans in general. Someone said there was an interview with him and he said Hannah represented the fans. Hannah is also the name of Tommy's daughter. Not sure if she'd like knowing she was named after a dog ..

[Morgoth256]

This song makes me feel like I'm 17 again! I love it.

[pbrick6301]

Great kazoo playing. This is a song thats good to hear about once every 35 yrs. See you all 35 yrs from now.

[hairyreddick]

what a great time to be alive when this came out.

[hypnocSlayer]

@hairyreddick its too bad i wasnt alive at that time ): XD

[JettWorship65]

@hairyreddick You said it. The music now is weak and guttless.

[amcanmike]

@hairyreddick YEP IT WAS 1979  NICE

[radcam69]

@hairyreddick agreed friend, graduated high school this year 1978.

[springloadedchicken]

@hairyreddick oh unlike these days when you can play it over and over again and think back.

[aihoschema]

@hairyreddick You bet!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSilkySweat]

@hairyreddick

I'm only 25, so I'm very envious of you!

[billboardnumber1]

@hairyreddick you were alive in 1979 still alive now aren't you?

[joltingbeam]

i cant get enough of tommy shaws voice

[HtrTools]

of all styx members, he has my favorite voice.

[lsdmadman]

ohhh bless their hearts...

[Pitrolpia]

Yes I know great song Styx were a very good band

[Balloburn]

This brings back happy memories of my childhood. It's a cheery , haunting song.
