If you are an old-school rock lover, we are sure you must have heard the song Dust In The Wind by Kansas. The song was part of the album called “Point Of Know Return.” This song was the very first time that the band went on to go acoustic, and fair enough, it did become the most famous acoustic rock song of all time. In addition to this, the song has a tick-marked number of genres, from rock to country songs. It is a mix of both.
Kerry Livgren, the man behind the lyrics of Dust In The Wind, said that he was reading a poetry book from Indian America and the here found a passage that has the line “For all we are dust in the wind,” after reading this line, he thought, yes that is true, he said to himself he got all the success he wanted and has possession to all the things he wanted, all the goals he laid for himself have successfully been achieved, but in the end he has to go back to the ground. That’s the message he wants to send from this song: that no matter how much you have earned, how much people respect you or despise you, in the end, you are going to be part of the earth just like others. The song reached the all time high of No 6 in Billboard Hot 100 in 1978.
