For some reason, this one detached my mind from my body, bringing me back to my native country. I only have vague memory of being there ( left VN at age 7). Somehow that hand and the grass, breeze of the wind, they hit me deeply. You brought tears to my eyes, for that childhold memory came back. I'm adding this to my playlist. Thank you. LKD
First off, none of your piano arrangements have been bad, I don't think you'd be able to make one bad either. You've got a great talent for your arrangements, and just when I thought your rendition of Nobody's Home could be beat...this comes along. Bravo, absolutely beautiful. I hope you continue to make music the way you do.
This is awesome! The production goes with the song very well. I am glad that they are doing the ending chunk in Hold On now these days. Great song, great album, and great job, Thanks! -Cooper
Amazing! I've actually forgotten that this track was on the "Freaks of Nature" album, which is strange being that it is one of my favorite Kansas albums!
Another Great Video by the DaveMyster ooo ~ Your transcription of this was FanTabulous ... it had a Beautiful Peaceful and Warm Build ~ 2 a Strong Majestic End with the Drums & Keys ~ With the Melody Dancing all the Way !!!!! Ear ya Later ..... MF
The more I watch and listen to your works, the more intrigued I become. Not only is it a joy to listen to, but the videos are so well done, the entire project is a masterpiece. Extraordinary!! I'm hooked.
Works very well as an instrumental too, since the second part's instrumental anyway. Wonderful version of a great song off an often criticized album, didn't like it much to begin with, now find the whole thing hugely underrated.
I love all kinds of music when it's brought with feeling, emotion and passion and this certainly is, David. And there is the creative touch, added to the original.
The quality of the recording is also very, if not exceptionnaly good, imo
One thing is missing... me. Although I cannot claim to have the same vocal range as Steve Walsh, I could do vocals for this one, for sure.
After January 1st, let's do some music together, my talented friend. Off work at least until January 21st, anyway, so, why not use the time for where my Heart is? Music is where it's at, for me. If you want, I'll send you my home phone number. Just let me know because I'm ready to Rock!
Great work Dave and Matt. This video is incredible Dave, love your Talent my friend, Awesome seeing the children and you both playing, Thankyou. Brantin
Excellent work Dave and Matt, also. I've always loved this song (and the whole Freaks of Nature album). The audio-video visions :) are in a wonderful balance.... as usual from you, my friend! :) Congrat! 'It seemed so peaceful and warm' ...liked that Opus-gig :) Amazing
This is one of my all time favorite songs. You and the other musicians are very gifted. You guys always raise the bar. You inspire me to be the best i can be, and i thank you for that. Matts drums sound amazing. Congrates on your masterpiece Gentlemen! Much respect from Canada
Excellent on any angle this can be approached at. Kudos on the musicianship, that and the video production pair up for one of the best in YouTube. Seasons greetings Dave and Co :-)
Very Peaceful and Warm, especially during this time of the year. Christmas is here, family and friends will gather together. And in this cold night, watching and listening to this piece and video, brings warmth to my heart and mind. Just what I need right at this moment for I'm stressing out about my final exam so bad. Thank you! God bless such talent.
Dave, I really enjoyed this two-for-one video! The imagery and content are very special and heartwarming without going for shameless sentiment. And I truly admire and respect your touch at the keyboard. In lesser hands, the opening would have been repetitive, monotonous. However your deft interpretation and execution makes for a striking and appealing rendition.
Excellent medley! I love the layering. I challenge you to do something with 3 or 4 parts layered. Not that I don't think you can do it but just that I'd like to see and hear it. Tell Matt that he's pretty much nailed his ultimate sound on his kit and of course that his playing is awesome!
Kansas is amazing no matter what :)

As always, I love your piano interpretation of this great song, too.
Soft & tender and with so much depth in expressing feelings & moods.
When your collab performance with Matt started I got goose-flesh !
Beautiful creation, Dave, also the video !
I noticed the change in the video tech. Very pleasing.
Thank you so much for this gem of art !
