Isn't it ironic? This song is about the impermanence of everything we do, and yet, after all these decades, it still remains a masterpiece.

I played this at my daughter’s funeral. She loved Kansas and often played this song. I am weeping as I listen to this. Please love those around you because when they are gone all you have left is the dust of their dreams.

This song reminds me of how short life is, I'm 75 now and still working as a master craftsman, restoring old buildings. I'm using tools that I have had for 60 years and some tools that my father gave me which are over 100 years old. The tools look like they were made yesterday, I look like I was made 75 years ago. This alone brings home to me my own mortality and how fleeting everything is. I still have a metal milk saucepan that wife and I won at a raffle, it is still new looking after 50 years of use. My wife has now gone to beyond the sunset, and I am still here with all the memories. Take time to smell the roses everybody before that kind old nurse called death rocks us all to sleep.

My partner has stage four lung cancer…l play this song when no one is around because l don’t want anyone to see my tears

I played this song for a few friends. None of them liked it. Clearly I need new friends

Sitting here crying. Can't help it. I bought this album for my son in early 1978 I believe . He was 12 and he really liked Kansas and Boston at the time. A great kid who grew up with a real appreciation of classic rock . I absolutely loved being his father and watching him grow into a man. He and I became the very best of friends when he got older . I have personally never seen a father and son as close as we were. We worked together for 15 years and never had one argument . Pancreatic cancer stole my son from me and my life is not and never will be the same for me . I miss him so . Sleep well my son you are always in my heart and in my mind also .

This song ain't depressing, it's liberating. It reminds us, our impermanence isn't a curse, it's a call to live every moment like a precious jewel, sparkling in the sunlight before it fades.

My father played this on his acoustic guitar when I was a young boy. He was a classically trained violinist but after he finished school he settled into the guitar. He just died and this was the first song I thought of. RIP dad…

This song was one of my husband's favorite songs of long ago. He's been gone many years now, and whenever l hear it l remember our young days together still. I miss you, Jim.

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 (All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind (In the wind)

I cant believe Hulk Hogan, Bob Ross, Hagrid and Rambo all collaborated to make this beautiful song.

It's the summer of 2024... if you are listening to this, you have great taste in music

One of the most beautiful songs in the history of music. Period

This was my mom’s favorite song and she expressed to me in conversation once that she wanted this at her funeral. Well she went to Heaven last Saturday on New Year’s Eve. As any good daughter, I fulfilled her wish. Every time I hear this song, which I have come to love, I will feel my mom’s presence with me.

Condolences to the family, fans and friends of Robby Steinhardt, who left us today at 71.

Im 23 and i had no idea this song was from 1977, wowies. I hope my generation doesnt lose this beautiful piece of work❤

Not many realize this song is a paraphrase of a passage in the book Ecclesiastes in the bible. I played guitar and sang this at my dad's memorial service a month ago and barely got through it without breaking down. He was a great example of someone from the 'Greatest Generation' from WWII. He didn't preach at us kids, he lead by example. My very favorite memory of him happened when I was nine years old. All six of us were eating supper in a cramped corner of a hovel of a kitchen, and us four kids were laughing and cutting up with dad. Mom got frustrated and asked why we couldn't have a nice quiet supper. Dad told her "I'd rather hear them laughing than crying." I greatly miss our conversations while sipping a cup of coffee with you dad.

Over 5 years since my brother took his own life. He was born on this day. This song always comes to my mind whenever I think of him. RIP Orion (1983 - 2016).

My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤️

10대부터 이곡을 들었고 어느덧 50중반이 되어 버렸습니다 70넘고 80이 되면 지금보다 편안한 마음으로 인생을 바라볼수있었으면 좋겠습니다

My daughter would've been 5 this year. Hang onto what you love for however long you can. Miss you, Ruby.

I was sitting here thinking about my wife who died five days ago and this song popped up on my random playlist. I miss her like you cannot imagine. 😥

My fiance was killed in a helicopter crash in 1978. He was a Marine. This was the song that was playing on the radio at the time. Every time I hear it, I am transported back in time, and I think about all of the plans we had, that were ended in a flash.

the older you get the more this song makes sense...

Clearly one of the best songs ever made. Not only the beauty of the music, but the meaning behind the words. Its so true, 'all we are is dust in the wind.' Not enough people realize that. 😮

Probably one of the most lyrically, and musically, beautiful songs ever

I CRY THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL

being a kid when your dad introduced his music to you....now a father showing my kid....thank you dad R.i.p 2019

RIP Robby Steinhardt, great musician, perfect violinist.

Pretty song with a truly deep message of how fragile we really are.

This song is beautiful. ❤

Dont hang on. Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. It slips away. And all your money, wont another minute, buy. Truest lyrics ever

One of our co workers passed away today...we gave him a moment of silence..n at the end...this came on the radio station...no one programmed it...so we all just broke down. You will be missed Mark, but you have marked all of us here at work....have a safe journey brother, we will always have you in our minds n hearts.

when I was little I told my dad to change the radio whenever this song came on because it was "far too sad". now I'm in my final days and I listen to it willingly. I wish we all had a little more time.

Anyone who doesn't like this song must not live in Reality This Song Truly Describes he way Life truly Is please Listen to the words this is one of the greatest Songs Of All Times

Damn, Hagrid is crushing that violin work.

From dust you were created and to dust you will return.

I close my eyes Only for a moment And the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes That 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 Don't hang on Nothing last 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

My dog just recently crossed over the rainbow and I dedicate this song to my dear friend. I fought everything that I can and I have to save her, yet God has other plans. Life has been quiet since she's gone.

My brother just passed away a few hours ago and this was one of his favorite songs. Rest in peace Rick 1/25/1960 - 11/15/2021

Bought a CD from a homeless man at the bus station back in 2001. That’s how I heard this song. Never forgot it.

My dad used to play this song on family roads trips when i was a kid, he passed away last December , listening to this makes me feel such an intense nostalgia.. beautiful song , rest in peace 🕊️ Dad.

2024 here!!! I love this song and the story behind how they ended up recording it. Great message.

My American husband introduced me to this song, he would play it on his guitar and I loved it. My husband passed away 4 months ago, and this song is now a wonderful memory.

If you’re young, cherish those years, they go by in a flash

Years ago I was working as a custodian on the midnight shift in a hospital and was called to clean in intensive care. As a coworker and myself started he told me that the patient had passed. Just then this song came on the music station the tv was turned to. It was an emotional moment that I have remembered for almost 40 years.

Real music remains timeless

"Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky" - in a song that lasts forever.

My Sister passed away yesterday, at age 38. This song reminds me of her, and how fleeting this earthly life is. As it says in the Bible ~ "Life is like a vapour, it appears briefly then vanishes". R.I.P Jessica. 😔

After surviving a heart attack in my 30s, this song creeps in the mind once in a while. Quite humbling.

삶이 힘들고 외로울땐 이노래를 들으면서 위안을 받씀니다ㆍ

A masterpiece of a song truly beyond its time.

One of the greatest songs ever written. Period.

This song was played by the teachers at my kindergarten. I still remember those moments, when I was a child and nothing mattered, I was just beginning to know this world. How time flies, what nostalgia. Finally, I found the song, i never knew its name until I heard it in a movie. Now I'm 23 years old, and I understand the lyrics, but I don't believe our actions are worthless. A small gesture can change another person's life, or that of a living being, or the planet. Action or inaction does matter, to the extent of leaving a legacy.

The most beautiful song ever about our mortality. Never tire of hearing it.

We just can't escape from this song. The older we get the more closer it becomes to us.

The departure of Robby Steinhardt in 2021 at age 71 leaves a hole in my heart; "Dust in the Wind" is not the same without him and his violin.

2024 anyone?

I was very depressed and suicidal a few years ago and listened to this song every day. It was a long road to recovery. But now when I listen to it I don’t feel meaningless or empty, but... at peace. I feel this sense of appreciation for life and cherish what it has given me. This life has so much to explore and live for, I’m really glad I didn’t end it at 20.

Wow, Bob Ross, Swedish Jesus, Hagrid and young Conan The Barbarian! They sure make a heck of a band!

mrs.washington, my most dearest teacher that is retiring this year and played this during the year, i want to thank you for being my mentor i love you so much.

Dust in the Wind Lyrics 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 they are is dust in the wind Ohh - oh - ah 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 ( All we are is dust in the wind ) Dust in the wind ( Everything is dust in the wind ) Everything is dust in the wind

Depressing yet poetic and beautiful

Currently on my nightshift in an elderly care home. This song hits different right now.

One of the greatest song ever recorded by a rock group.

I lost my brother like 2 weeks ago in a car accident, this song makes me feel very sad Makes me realise that no one will remerber or know the awesome person that he was, as i don't know some other people that were great humam beings that are already gone, they, like my beloved brother, are now just memories that would be lost as the time continues, just dust in the wind...

I played this for my Dad while he was dying in hospice when they disconnected his ventilator..Kansas was one of his favorite bands...RIP Dad 9/14/17 ♡

Best of the Best

Lyrics: 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 (All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind (In the wind)

This song could be a poem, and it still would be beautiful. When I was a junior in high school we were asked to name and explain our favorite song. This was my favorite song. I wrote out the lyrics and read them to the rest of the class. A classmate asked why I would like such a sad song. I said, "it's not sad, it's real." My father was undergoing chemotherapy for bladder cancer at the time. He had already had surgery. Most of that school year, and a little into my senior year I didn't say much of anything to anyone. I was too busy praying, all of my waking hours, for my father to live. He survived that cancer, and also later survived lung cancer due to cigarettes'. He quit the cigarettes''. It's a blessing to me, and the rest of the family that he's still alive and with us to this day. I took comfort in this song, and still do. Be thankful for the people you have in your life. Material things come and go, as do people. But, as I've learned, people are so much more important.

My mother spoke no English AT ALL when she first heard this song but immediately fell in love. She showcased this song to my brother and I when we were 7&5 and had us write the lyrics down and memorize the song. She was the most humble woman I have ever come across to this day, she passed away 2 years ago, I listen to this song in memory of her. Beautiful piece.

My Beloved Mother..... A creative (physically beautiful person, who never knew it.) Smart. Gorgeous. Difficult. Mommy had me at 19, and then, before even 24, two more children. We miss her madly. She was our rock.

how can anyone possibly dislike this masterpiece???

I forgot this song...A.I. helped me find it again by just describing. I am very happy to be able to listen to this again...my Father passed away after losing his leg. Talked to him on the phone went to see him and he was gone before I can see him...so I had to bury him. I gave him a final kiss good bye...still can't believe it. Never even imagined it would be that way... This song soothes and reminds me this is life. All our time will come, just make the best of it. My Father was strong he made the best of it and gave me and my brothers a comfortable life. Rest in Peace

Still listening to this song any one else?

masterpiece

It's 2023 and yet, I still love this song.. this song is timeless.

This is 20% Costume 50% Voice 30% Intrumental and 100% Hair

"And all your money won't another minute buy" damn, this hit hard, enjoy your life as much as you can.

It may be years, but every time I hear this song I get goosebumps from head to toe, a song that touches the soul ❤

God this hits so hard and yet it feels like a gentle breeze at the same time...Just wonderful. A true one of a Kind.

Everything about this is beautiful: the harmonies, the lyrics, the guitar, the violin. I remember this song as a young girl. My older cousin used to listen to them rehearse on her way home from school sometimes. It just brings me back to such simpler times. I always loved it, but now at 53 I really understand it. The things we think are so important are temporal. Dust in the wind.

This song was played on the radio while I was driving on the highway going to see my mom in the hospital. It was when I heard this song, I knew she wasn’t gonna make. God rest her soul

This such a good song to hear.

Real music. Played by real musicians. With real instruments. Thanks for laying the path for us to follow 🤘🏼🇦🇺

This is one you can't forget, once you've heard it you can't unhear it, a timeless classic that will never be forgotten!!!

Rest in Peace Robert E. “Robby” Steinhardt

Im 62, I have played a guitar all of my life, I taught myself this song, it was a joy learning and playing along with them is a feeling that I cannot find words to describe,, im about to pick up my Ibanez classical acoustic and feel the it in the depths of my soul

It was just 1979 and I closed my eyes, only for a moment and most of my friends and family are dust in the wind. I am here 2019 and still listening to Kansas, hit like if you are here with me.

People live and die, but music lives forever! Especially such special songs like "Dust in the wind"!!!

This was the first song my boyfriend and i kissed too...I fell in love that moment!! 43 years later, I laid his body to rest .... played this song. Love and heartbreak....we are just dust in the wind!! ❤️

How does Jesus always know what I'm thinking!

Year 2022 I'm still listening. This is a great masterpiece. Sound, Music, Instruments, and of course Violin input...

Can any pop star today make such a gorgeous song like this?! What a joy it was to hear this song again after many years on Radio 2 recently. Kansas were such a brilliant band.

A beautiful song that reminds me that life on earth is temporal. From dust we were created and to dust we return.

Spring of '77. 19 yrs old and going on two years in the military. Memories! The time has flown!

This song was played at my friend Benny's memorial service as people tearfully exited the chapel. He lost a long battle with cancer.

Even in December 2020, still a legend

RIP Robert Steinhardt (violinista e cantor) banda KANSAS Descanse em paz! 🇧🇷🎻💙⚪💚💛

Nothing last forever but the earth 🌎 and the sky ✨.... Man, that's real as fuck
