Awesome to see you check out another classic song from Kansas! Too many people think of them as a 2 hit wonder (this song and Dust in the Wind), but their other songs are really good as well. Their musicianship is top notch and the vocals are some of the best out there (especially in 70's rock). This song was written by their guitarist, Kerry Livgren who says it was a song of self-encouragement. Its definitely got the upbeat 'keep on keeping on' mentality that just makes you want to 'Carry on.' Thanks for the reaction. You both were a ton of fun to watch as usual!! 🤘
