Dust in the wind
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind.
"The Kansas"是美国七十年代相当前卫的一支摇滚乐队，前卫、摇滚，不是那种声嘶力竭的咆哮或电流噪音，相反，这支乐队以在音乐中的古典气质而闻名。除了吉他之外，很多歌曲都采用了小提琴作为主要配器，并且以美国人引以为豪的蓝调音阶作为编曲基调，同时歌曲中和声的巧妙利用，使得初听摇滚乐的人听来后会发现摇滚其实也是很美的。
《Dust in the wind》是乐队的比较特殊的一首不插电代表作，同时也是吉他三指法演奏的经典，然而总觉得这首歌的基调太过于灰暗，歌词沉闷压抑，特别唱到"Don't hang on, nothing lasts for ever but the earth and sky"的时候，有万世皆空的怅惘。
请18岁以下、缺乏主观判断能力和悲观厌世者勿听。
