No synths in this; that was violin masterfully played by the big guy with all the hair & beard, Robby Steinhardt (R.I.P.). That was also Robby singing the harmonies. I always interpreted the meaning of this song to be about humility. Whatever you feel prideful about, whether career, money, looks, etc., in the end it's all insignificant just like dust in the wind. When we leave this life nothing will matter but what we have done to serve God.

The violin solo expresses the song's sentiment. Hear how it reaches up, up, up, only to fall back down. Then again up, up, and the inevitable fall. But the fall doesn't stop the notes from trying again. That's us - we keep trying, thinking we can last, but inevitably we fail, we fall, we are blown away in the wind.

Kerry Livgren, a Kansas member and songwriter for this song, was struggling with the age old questions of his place in the Universe, his relationship to God, and all those other messy type of questions that can keep you up at night. He was blessed enough to have the talent to put them into a song. Just a few years later he made a commitment to Christ and became a strong, life-long Christian who wrote and recorded many great Contemporary Christian albums. He had his questions answered.

Steve Walsh is the lead singer in most of their songs also plays the keyboard and synthesizer along with percussions. Kerry Livgren on guitar rounded out the group that hit it big. This song "Dust in the Wind" as a single has become Gold twice once in 1977 and again in 2005 as a digital download. Thank you Asia and BJ for reacting to this Great song.

Great band, great reaction,, than you thank you for reacting. The musical interlude was actually electric violins that were playing. Inspiration. The title of the song is a Bible reference, paraphrasing Ecclesiastes: I reflected on everything that is accomplished by man on earth, and I concluded: Everything he has accomplished is futile - like chasing the wind A meditation on mortality and the inevitability of death, the lyrical theme bears a striking resemblance to the biblical passages Genesis 3:19 ("...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.") Fun Fact: Saw this group in 1979 or 80 in San Antonio, Texas. Surprise.... Rush actually opened for Kansas. One of my best concerts ever attended.
