Styx - Fooling Yourself

[joemi1966]

23 people are fooling themselves

[DellPrecisionM60]

Come on people, can't we listen to a song without arguing over completely un-related stuff?

[NoggleBaum]

Wow, thanks for all the support folks.

[polycarpx]

For years I only knew this as the opening theme song for ch 4 news WDIV in Detroit.

[420PATROCK]

RON PAUL 2012.. or else your fooling yourself!

[Rush3524]

@420PATROCK You're fooling yourself ,if you think that even if he was elected and Obama was ousted, that something will change in Washington. Just get uninvolved in politics. It's a political paradise. Then, you will realize America has turned against the Founding Father's dream and turned into an oligarchy ruled by the elite for the elite.

[STIRKDAWG]

People's poor grammar and sloppy misuse of the English language bothers me as well ! I just don't see who it serves to make people muddle through your scattered and poorly crafted thoughts. Are people in such a fucking hurry, these days, that they're FORCED to represent themselves like dolts? Sorry, I'm with the "grammar troll."

[MortymanCA]

@sickboylegend You complain about his spelling and yet you don't use proper grammar and you didn't even finish your sentence. He's being nostalgic, for good reason, and you come along here trying to troll/grammar nazi and you fail. Please leave people to their own devices and GTFO.

[sickboylegend]

@MortymanCA I was joking with him hence the lol you little pussy. I wasn't being a troll you homo, you are the one being a troll. Go eat a dick you Cali. queer.

[Rush3524]

Here's to Tommy Shaw and John Curulewski

R.I.P One of the best sets of musicians to walk the earth

[Rush3524]

@Rush3524 Awkward. I meant John Panozzo instead of Tommy Shaw 

[metalcruzer]

Welcome to the Grand Illusion!! As a fan of metal I might be one of the few fans of Styx. I love all their old stuff and anyone who doesn't F#$K off!!

[1969DayTripper]

what a strange album cover, but amazing album

[DiggitySlice]

Okay I know I've heard that keyboard intro before does anybody know where it might have been used?

[musicman69123]

@DiggitySlice Its in a similar style to Baroque-era classical keyboards.

[papaslam]

As good as any of their contemporaries including Yes, King Crimson, Kansas and even Emerson Lake and Palmer. A fan favorite, not just for the prog rockers and 70's muso's but adventurous, melodic, meaningful, incredibly well articulated masterpieces. 6/8 and 4/4 with all the joy of a gospel song, but with a message IMPLORING people to be grateful and tap into and believe in themselves and their potential and what is good about themselves! LONG LIVE TOMMY SHAW AND THE MUSIC OF STYX!!!

[Weretyu7777]

Electronic horns that don't just say "screw you"!!!

[paigelikeshugs]

Sunset.

[LAwoman1956]

The best song by Styx.

[astrosjake]

the first minute or so if this song is just amazing...

[AmericaFcukYeah]

Bon Jovi should be sucking Styx's dicks Cascas645

[Cascas645]

@AmericaFcukYeah Your opinion couldn't matter less to me :)

[TJB63]

The Coolest Styx song ever.

[gank283456]

I was born in 1984 and I probably listen to more music from this era than my own.

[astrosjake]

@gank283456 i was born in 1994 and thats the same with me.

[Cascas645]

@astrosjake born in '96 and I love Styx more than any other band! (Other than Bon Jovi)

[astrosjake]

@Cascas645 Styx was at my town's annual ribfest festival earlier this past summer but i couldnt make it. i couldve gotten first row!

[Roggiedodgie]

@astrosjake and?

[Poltr1]

This is one of my pump-me-up songs, when I'm about to go on a job interview or do something important. And of course, love the synth solo at 3:10-3:53. I wish I had Dennis' soloing chops!

[SomeRandomFeller]

I'm killing myself (figuratively) because I don't believe it. I hope so, anyway.

[linscott63]

I am fooling myself if i deny that to this day.....I still Love You Caren Cobb!!!

[Muffett53]

The songs sometimes bring out the memories. Some old some new. Heartache or joy. Styx has had a lot of greats.

[shanehenning26]

awsome song

[TheTremo99]

Great song with a great meaning.

[radiorelax259]

superb rock and roll loveit!!!

[scooter1655]

Definitely and ultimately my favourite song of all time, by far. :) Styx rules! :D

[truckergreg1]

I can tell you rolled 1000 doobies on your stereo by your spelling dude.....think I was there with you...great song and album from my heavy pot smoking days back in Winnipeg.....LONG LIVE STYX !!

[torythefanman]

gotta love Styx they make great music

[metraman0102]

21 people hate styx

[1221skye1221]

@metraman0102 well, compared to the 1015 who liked it, I'd say the odds are pretty good...

[niehaubt]

Reered song. The absolute basics.

[patrckhh20]

This sounds like Plok!!!!!

[karlmoles65]

I must have worn out 25 cassette copies each of this and Pieces of 8 back in the 80s

[bottomline69]

This song was, and always will be, to you - my dear brother. May you always and forever R.I.P. <3

[2323giggity]

great tune--ROCK ON ALL--- understand the lyrics and stop fooling yourself--giggity

[harmonyandmore]

Great song. Better than anything in 2011.

[NoggleBaum]

Very frist album I had, for the 1st sterio. back, eh 1977.

Rolled over a 1000 doobies on it.

[zelda47]

@NoggleBaum YOU TOO?!!!

[1234roadking1]

@NoggleBaum im with you bro-my album for week was tune a piano by r.e.o.

[dreaminglad]

@NoggleBaum funny thing me too

[maryslilham]

@NoggleBaum I SMOKED A MILLION ....WHILE LISTENING TO IT

[valkaprase]

@NoggleBaum Way to go smoking doobies man, great job! How much did you pay to get your tickets to the grand illusion you dumb son of a bitch. The whole point of this album is that people blatantly follow along with what others do, drugs being no different. If you don't understand the album, get off the music you dumb bastard.

[NoggleBaum]

@valkaprase You are sad, and that I can tell. I never saw Stix, never said I did. Nor did I say anything about what the album was about. You have fooled your self young man/lady, into an illusion of what I posted here.

Sheesh. Next time you start flaming, bring a bigger Stick.

[Roggiedodgie]

@NoggleBaum Nice- those doobies sure helped your grammar!

[sickboylegend]

@NoggleBaum over 1000 doobies...sounds about right seeing how you spelled stereo wrong lol did you just put that album to use

[itsknot9]

@sickboylegend Are you kick'n it with him? Making fun of his spelling problem, when you can't use punctuation to save your life. 

[sickboylegend]

@itsknot9 only you care about punctuation you pussy! there, are you happy?

[itsknot9]

@sickboylegend You didn't capitalize your letters.... Face it, you suck.

[sickboylegend]

@itsknot9 Go and watch some more minecraft videos you loser and stop hitting on little boys you pedo.

[sickboylegend]

@itsknot9 You didn't even capitalize your YouTube name you hypocrite. So, what now douche!

[itsknot9]

@sickboylegend Trollololl! This is why I troll, to see the rage of the immature. :P

[sickboylegend]

@itsknot9 So i guess we are both trolls and immature then...I don't consider being a troll by poking fun in a joking manner of a typo by some stoner. No rage here.

[Trumble1ful]

Words to live by!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrmasterlee1]

STYX is beyond reproach, way, way ahead of thier time, I was a fan back in the 70, and am proud to say my admiration for this band and the message / music they make gets even better as time goes on! :)

[gerry0915]

This song is about when you feel beaten and down and defeated, get up because you are stronger then that and stronger then they know! You're NEVER defeated!

[0ACapedCrusader0]

Just saw them live for the second time. Such a great band even after all this time!

[oltoothless]

@0ACapedCrusader0 They blew Bristol away last night! Better show than I ever dared hope for.

[jsinc909]

@oltoothless  In what country is this Bristol

[oltoothless]

@jsinc909 Bristol, Tn. USA

[ThePowerBeard]

relax... take it easy!

the best advice you could ever listen to, doesn't matter what you're doing.

[ohwhatacereal]

Christoper Greschuk if u are watching this...

Hi Dad.

[tacomonster98]

is that James Hetfield in the back? lol

[GetThyDome]

Is it strange to have a shrine dedicated to Tommy Shaw in your closet?

[goodwh2]

@GetThyDome Only if Tommy Shaw is tied up in that same closet lol.

[ZackBandicoot]

20 people are fooling themselves

[IwannaTouchThis]

@ZackBandicoot Good one.

[yellowroselola]

@ZackBandicoot They don't understand real music.

[thewiredrabbit]

@ZackBandicoot 22 now, evidently!



[lndsy85302]

saw them over the summer... ahh! i <3 Styx!!!!

[84traypack]

@lndsy85302 with Dennis DeYoung?

[lndsy85302]

@84traypack i don't know. 

[SailAwaytoStyxWorld]

Lol, no. This song's about Dennis.

[PaszerDye]

where has all the good music gone? everything nowadays sounds either the same or like lady gaga

[imchaos1960]

Saw Styx 1976 Madison, Wi. What a great time. Thank you Diane C.

[muffyone100]

Saw these guys '79, had great binoculars to tune into Tommy and the other blondes "fine behinds", good light show, but best memory:) Yes you could actually see guys "behinds" back then, not these baggy unattractive things we got stuck with since. Please let Levi's come on home!

[mdueri]

Saw these guys live last week, incredible show and they sounded great! This song and album are amazing 30 years later.

[Healoneministries]

This song is about getting back up and lgrabbing hold of life. Because of the fact that you have it in you and you can't be beat. :)

[rlev97]

Thirteen and a fan of Styx even if I like Black Veil Brides and Tokio Hotel. How can anyone not like these people?

[MrGlenntipton]

Relax,....takeit easy.

[samlo098]

This song is about reality , and how problems can obscure your view of it !

[fuzzycuddles]

This should be played for all of the EMO kids in the world and then grab em' by the back of the collar and toss em the street and say GET UP! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

[thezepp925]

this song won the heart of this rebelious 22 year old :)

[Othidist]

killing yourself? is this subliminal? im starting to get worried..

[Ozgarthefighter]

@Othidist no, the song is about how people get stressed out for no good reason. stressing yourself out too much kills. Hence the lyric. :-/

[theserpantsang]

LOVE IT

[crazyshit1450]

i am so close to hartford :D



[shawnsgirl56]

I loved this band and had this album and listened to it over and over again. I even saw them live in Hartford, CT with my sister in 1981. It was so long ago and I would have been 16 and I only have vague memories of the concert. We were in the nose bleed seats. I do remember that and I borrowed someones binoculars and I remember Tommy Shaw was wearing red. I really love this song but never really like Mr. Roboto when it came out.

[SPAddict1994]

Why would 10 people Dislike this? If you don't like the song, just don't type it in your search bar to begin with!

[palmshb]

I love this song. And really , I dont mind seeing the cover. Sometime's I just want to see more.

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

Are you kidding? Enjoy it? Of course!

[meljpetra]

Klassyx ~ Styx ! <: 

[EthanRaymond69]

I'm surprised, nobody's made a "10 people are fooling themselves" comment in a while.

A round of applause everybody. ;)

[justes3]

@EthanRaymond69 10 people are fooling themselves.

[shelliefosho]

@EthanRaymond69 haha there is hope in this world!

[WinchesterGirl1998]

I`ve been looking for this forever! MADE MY DAY!!! <3333

[marissalovesroxy]

This song is for my BROTHER !!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

[BlackestEyes1963]

A gorgeous song. I love it.

[styxreo]

If anyone wants the original 1977 video, I'll send you a link. Youtube took my copy down due to copyright infringement, but I don't see anyone offering it up for sale. email me at styxreo at yahoo d0t c0m.

[Cygnus2112YYZ]

ELP

[JasonDunlop25]

Another great STYX classic. Real MUSIC. Real tunes THE BEST OF ALL TIMES

[misslantana52]

@JasonDunlop25 I totally agree..........takes you back doesn't it! Love them:)

[misslantana52]

Such a great intro.........one of my favorite groups! They really had so many wonderful songs! Timeless music:D

[ForceReconMarines]

The cover of this is in my AP Psychology book.

[HoustonTexas457000]

Song could raise a dead man.. Literally, get up, get back on your feet

[justice540]

This video has been chosen for August 8, 2011 post on Facebook Page: Random Daily classic Rock Song

[buceintoronto]

THIS IS THEIR BEST SONG , PERIOD.

[gerry0915]

this song meant SO much to me when I was in high school!! Anyone else understand??

[captduh1]

@gerry0915 right on brother times were rightous back then................never knowing if you wre coming or going

[ChristianB3624]

@gerry0915 any young male can relate. The song is not exactly a lyrical mystery. Still a good song.

[DiDDLeMaRSPRS6]

@gerry0915 I know that feel. I know that feel right now.

[ronaldalfaro]

@gerry0915 

Are you kidding? It drove me extatic!!! This one and 'Come sail away'.

[MiscellCollections]

@ronaldalfaro it still drives me crazy!

[Scoutman3100]

this isn't on mthe radio enough. I've only heard it twice on the radio.

[debjoy12]

@Scoutman3100 I live in Maryland, and there's 2 classic rock stations I can get in my area (one in Baltimore, one in DC), but even I have barely heard it either. *cries* :'(

[Scoutman3100]

@debjoy12 i listen to the one from dc, and its only been on twice ever i think

[jolt583]

@debjoy12 i've only heard this song 5 times over the course of 3 years across 3 stations. it should be a crime how little this song is played on the radio!!

[longfootbuddy]

@Scoutman3100 i hear it all the time...in fact, why am i listening to it on youtube? ...oh, because styx has so many good songs, i forgot the names to most of them

[pineNout247]

You can talk sht about styx but you still listen to them and rocked to their songs. Just saying.

[theawesomeone2015]

lol theres a youtube myx for styx! :D



[winggoddess]

this song is rareamethyst's theme song.

[dodgingaces]

This song saved my life....

[mrchaserman34]

I respect people's opinions. Honestly, I forgot about it in about two seconds. I don't dislike all modern music, I dislike autotune. I mean, it sounds sort of colol, it just doesn't take much more than being lucky enough to get someone to do it for you. It also makes me mad that people work hard and in their lifetime earn about as much as some does in a WEEK by kind of singing to a beat. For that, I say FTW bigtime and our screwy economy. By the way, I lost a tooth while typing!

[ianfergusonboss]

[MusicRehabilify]
