This song and Suite Madam Blue, pretty much sums up America today. A country more interested in being a police state to the rest of the world, rather than being a light of integrity for them. A country more interested in buying the next generation of smartphones, rather than getting to know your next door neighbor. Styx saw it back then. Yet, most people still vote for the same politicians that have the same negative attributes as they do. WE, THE CONSUMER!!!

We democracies have gotta be a police state to others lest authoritarians take over. But these days are not about all that. There’s an evil radical conservative movement threatening our very America and democracy worldwide. It AIN’T freakin “trump hating liberals” destroying America and threatening other democratic countries. It’s the elite republicans and their Russian bedbuddies. Power and money. Pieces of Eight.

Yea, I agree. There's something about that final piano run and low/high note with the Synth note connecting the two pieces. That's already emotionally satisfying, but then that beautiful clean guitar comes in over the Synth note at the beginning of "Aku Aku," and it's like the cherry on top. I get lost in this every time. 😍💪🎵
