@timeout1958 crazy that you should say that...i have a friend on facebook, from south america, and she shares with me the greatness that is alan parsons. i thought maybe i should share with her kansas, as i believe alot of songs of each band are regarding, "the other side," or out of body experiences. thanks for posting your comment; i wasn't indecisive, just waiting for the right time. in harmony
This has to be one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. And this came out way before my time. Blows my mind that this was never released as a single and thus gets overlooked and overshadowed by their big hits, not to mention the Pink Floyd song of the same name. It's NOT a rock and roll classic engraved into our culture, its a hidden gem. I can't for the life of me figure out why not though. Gotta thank my dad for playing this around me.
A delightful masterpiece by Kansas. I was into pop music for my entire life, until a guy name, let's say Sam, showed me a beautiful path where real music really was the whole time. Thank you, Sam for showing me the real inner me.
Dear Paganguy, I feel saddened that you believe this is the end. Two years after my grandfather passed away he visited my brother and I after my car broke down on a lonely stretch of road. He helped me for about 15 minutes. He also drove up in a dark green car, but my brother saw a black car. It had no make or model tags on the side. There was no name on the dash. It was for all purposes, non existent. But it was him and only 15 miles away. There is life much greater after this world.
This song inspired me when I was a teenager. Listening to it again now in my late 40s, it still gives me chills and inspires me. To me, "The Wall" is really about mental barriers inside of us all, and how to get around them (blocking out the light and blinding me, I want to see ... and though it's always been with me, I must tear down the wall and let it be....) I hope this song inspires you as much as it did it me. (and smiling back at all who wait to grow, there is no more....).
@immysteryman1 I always thought the lyric said, ".. and smiling back at all who wait to cross, there is no loss..."..but he does sort of trail off so you may be right. Regardless, great lyrics.
I love this song, and I love the genius of it, BUT, "The riches that I seek are waiting on the Ohter Side..." Really? Here's the thing; there is no Other Side. This life is not a dress rehearsal. This is the only life you get. Make this count. Do not live for some imagined afterlife. That is silly.
@Paganguy1 There is no other side; this song is written from the perspective of the lost. Its an expression of the misunderstanding the lost often have for the nature of their struggle. They seek to pass through to a "promised land" when they really need to come to grips with the reality of their existence and move on.
Cory, who are "The Lost", exactly? Point out "The Lost" to me. Show them to me.... You, as a little kid, would point at me, as a stark raving athiest, who has been married for almost 30 years, has a successful business, and a home, as "The Lost" becuase I don't don't believe in some god.
Is that what you are saying? Because, who are "The Lost" to you?
Amazing group, with deep meaning of awareness. This song brought to my kne's believing in all that can be, and happen in life , love , rich'es lost love and found soul! it's truly a song of epic., meaning to believe in somthing, like kansas, is truly awesome."
This song changed my life while going through rehab back in '77. Kansas may not be my favorite band, but it's definitely in my top 5 and this track is among my favorites.
OK... Promised Land is... soon to be a bride... on the other side...? This coulda been a big hit for Jesus. IF... he hadn't stopped singing after Psalms 22. ( The Pinnacle ) Or did he stop singing ? Serious spirit, gifts, karma, mojo, here. All I am... wait to cross ? Gooooouuod Stuuuuuuuuff
...Mark-ing off the boundaries, my Spirit... would erase ? (Jesus?) That was the most confusing, strange line, weakest, until... now
kerry livgren wrote a biography and in it he said this song was written shortly before he became a christian he was heavly into drugs and was searching at the time when he wrote this
Do you think Roger Waters played off of this song? I think it "inspired" the GREATEST album available. Pink Floyd jumped up two more notches after THE WALL. EVERYONE, not just Hippy types and Yippy types kewl peeps listened to FLOYD, after that. Then they break up...Beatle Fever they got. I believe. But that's JUST ME. The WebMagician.

I love this song,I was so mesmerized when these wonderful guys came to St. Augustine,Fla and everyone was going crazy over"Dust in the wind" However, when they played the wall,more than a few of us agreed this was always a "masterpiece"
@JennaP46, Dust in the Wind can not even compare. This is one of their greatest even if the so-called gurus didn't recognize it. Moves me everytime I hear it!
@JennaP46, Dust in the Wind can not even compare. This is one of their greatest even if the so-called gurus didn't recognize it. Moves me every time I hear it!
I SAW THEM IN KANSAS WHEN THIS WAS NEW ..I WAS A PIZZA GUY AND WE HAD TO TAKE A TON OF PIZZAS TO THE SHOW FOR SOME RADIO PROMO..I WENT UP TO THE ONE EYED DUDE AND TOLD HIM TO GET ME A FREE TAPE OF THIS ALBUM..HE TOLD ME HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE ONE YET AS IT WAS SO NEW ..I TOLD HIM FKU I JUST BROUGHT U GUYS A TON OF PIZZAS AND GO FETCH IT FOR ME SIGNED BY THE BAND ..AND HE DID AND I STILL GOT IT ITS NEVER BEEN OPENED...ILL PUT IT ON EBAY!
The last time I saw Kansas in concert Kerry joined in... it was great. It's just not kansas without kerry... I have seen them so many times and it's never the same with out him.
I love this song actually this whole alblum I'm glad to have lived through the 70's when this was first out it was a good time in my life.This song transports me back there and I can see that young man full of life blasting this song in the barriacks there at Fort Carson Colorado. A4/61ADA YEAH BABY
Rich Williams; a gentleman and guitar player who could give a toss about it all. Walsh and Livgren, are the nuts and bolts; but Williams never gets credit !
4:35 sounds EXACTLY like the ending of Dream Theater's Octavarium :) I always love how Dream Theater makes so many references to their musical influences.
Every time i mention "The Wall" people think I'm talking about the Pink Floyd song. I find it almost upsetting that most people don't know about this inspirational masterpiece
I bought the LP not long after it came out. Played it until it wouldn't play any more, then bought a cassette, wore it out, then eventually found it on CD. One of my favorite songs since '77...
@vnunrv71 It also shows that it's a guy, so it could've been his mother, or some other family member who watched it on his Account, whether on his pc or someone else's.
There's always more to something than what's shown
Thanks for posting this. I saw them live here and the drummer was incredible, he stole the show. This is one of my favorite songs....even as a youngster, I loved it, but now that I'm much older I still love it, and understand it.
Maybe God insured him that there was a better palace for him then herei in this world.....maybe that moment he knew that everything was alright......I pray that he found what he was looking for on the other side
This was the last song my husband listened to before he passed 4yrs ago. Why this song I gotta ask. ? ..It was a natural passing. Did he know? What does it mean??
Thank GOD I finally found this song. Whenver I listened to it on the casette version, I always thought it was an add on to Cheyanne Anthem for some reason. This whole album is a masterpiece, THANK YOU for putting it on here.
"This band seemed to expend most of its talent on 'Wayward Son' and 'Dust In The Wind.' "
Oh God no. Those are just those most non-progressive, rock/pop tunes they wrote. This is progressive music -- if you're not into prog or classic or other compositionally rich music forms you're missing out. Check out The Pinnacle or Song for America.
Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind are arguably the signature Kansas songs (or at least the ones that get played the most), but this is on a completely different level. This is an epic, beautiful song, deep and powerful, hitting you right in the core.
I'm rediscovering this band all over again. Outstanding! The stories I could share... I was born in the state of Kansas and in my travels was ridiculed for that. Well... those people couldn't hold a candle to the talent from this band! Excellent music and a true treasure. Thank you.
everyone think they know kansas because of dust in the wind, but this songs are way better. it's like the doors with light my fire or led zeppelin with stairway to heaven.
My favororite track from "Leftoverture". Kerry Livgren re-recorded it with more electric harpsichord on the first "Best Of Kansas" disc back in 1984. It was re-released/remastered in 1999 with more tracks by Epic/Legacy.

Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek
Are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure
In the treasure of the love that I can find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many times I've passed trying to play this by ear when it did not exist such a thing as internet. Wonderful.

Thank GOD I finally found this song. Whenver I listened to it on the casette version, I always thought it was an add on to Cheyanne Anthem for some reason. This whole album is a masterpiece, THANK YOU for putting it on here.

"This band seemed to expend most of its talent on 'Wayward Son' and 'Dust In The Wind.' "
Oh God no. Those are just those most non-progressive, rock/pop tunes they wrote. This is progressive music -- if you're not into prog or classic or other compositionally rich music forms you're missing out. Check out The Pinnacle or Song for America.

Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind are arguably the signature Kansas songs (or at least the ones that get played the most), but this is on a completely different level. This is an epic, beautiful song, deep and powerful, hitting you right in the core.

I'm rediscovering this band all over again. Outstanding! The stories I could share... I was born in the state of Kansas and in my travels was ridiculed for that. Well... those people couldn't hold a candle to the talent from this band! Excellent music and a true treasure. Thank you.

I'd love to see Suckcherry, Nickelfuck, Miley Virus, or the Jackass Sisters try topping this quality and talent.

My favororite track from "Leftoverture". Kerry Livgren re-recorded it with more electric harpsichord on the first "Best Of Kansas" disc back in 1984. It was re-released/remastered in 1999 with more tracks by Epic/Legacy.
