Icarus II to Memphis Belle

I am a diehard Kansas fan and when this CD came out and I heard this song, I thought of this movie. I finally finished it.

[Dalefan38]

ok thanks, for some reason it shows it's no longer available on my end.

[Dalefan38]

For some reason this video has been removed and I don't know why. I will be reposting it soon though.

[ke2323]

my father was a waist gunner on a b-17 based in eye england, he flew 19 missions and his stories are amazing. thanks kansas for such a great tribute to all who served.

[Dalefan38]

are you still able to view the video?????

[flyingace94]

the b-17 in the movie is not the real memphis belle,did you guys know that?

[Dalefan38]

the real one is being revamped for a museum.

The B-17 was and still is a beautiful and amazing airplane.

I think my great-uncle, CPL Oliver Erhard (aviation mechanic, 15th Air Force, USAAF, North Africa) put it best in a picture he mailed home in 1943. It's a picture of his B-17 (he was a ground crewman) taking off. At the bottom of the picture he wrote: "The Queen of the Sky"

Enough said.

GREAT VIDEO. I had family involve in this war.

Some in prison camps. This K Song is HEAVY on the

Heart & Soul... MORE youth, need to hear this.

The verce that realy speaks to me:

"For the Evil that can come from the Heart of a Man must be answeredin kind 'till it Disapears, And we're safe."

Truely shows how most felt about going to war. They did it to make sure that their friends and family could be safe from evil.

Dude, könnten sie eine frage beantworten ? Warum, wenn ein bomber hatten viele maschinengewehre, war kampfflugzeuge immer vor ihm ? Es sollte leicht sein und schnell auf alle waffen auf dem spiel zeigen und es zerstört ? Bitte ...

[BillMonarch]

The second chorus at 3:20, 11 years after hearing this song for the first time, still gives me chills every time I hear it.

@elephantdong "No one hates the jews." Um, my neighborhood has a neonazi who hates Jews. Blames the Jews for everything.

nice work. kansas is my favorite band. nice video!

[torukmakto4]

3 things:

1. KANSAS ROCKS.

2. This video rocks too and fits the song perfectly.

3. The majority of Kansas songs fit some aspect of the film Avatar perfectly. I already did an Avatar video with Wayward Son. I think this could be my inspiration to cut the final battle in Avatar to this song.

Stupendous Job on the Video! I well up inside every time I see it. Steve Walsh can produce true emotion in his voice on a level that few singers can. It must be a gift from God. Kerry Livgren wrote this song for Kansas, and they deliver powerfully as only musicians who's fathers were WWII veterans can. They FEEL this song intrinsically.

[VonTrousers]

Excellent. Every time I hear this song, I frame a video like this in my head. Great job!
