I think it is about PG and his divorce.

One word describes this MASTERPIECE 😅

This is one of my favorite Dire Straits songs. I prefer the studio versions to the live or the live Alchemy album versions. Mark likes to ad lib and go off on tangents when playing live. Most people prefer his live stuff but I like to be able to sing and follow along and it’s impossible with Mark.

In 79, I used to listen to this song while cruising with my girlfriend. Then it was off to the army and leaving my childhood behind. Everytime I hear it, those memories come back and for a brief moment, I'm young again.

Believe it or not this is the first time I've heard this song. This album was played at every house party I've ever been to in the 70s. So I'm on the same level as you guys. Kansas Styx Yes Rush and many more tried the progressive side of Rock

Hey first time listeners do you guys. What a great reaction to a song that I grew up with. Styx opened for Kansas and the next day he wrote that song. I raise my glass you are really in tune

Rock on BT!!!

Saw the 90125 tour in Nashville. Melted my brain!

I can’t even guess how many times I put headphones on to friends ears to listen to this! Stereo geniusNESS!!!!

This is from the first album I ever bought as a kid. I literally bought it for “Best Friend” and because my sisters wouldn’t let me listen to theirs. They thought I was crazy for my purchase because they already had it. I wore out side one TWICE before wanting more and turned the album over to hear side two. WOW, side TWO!!!

Roger wrote this as a kid at his mom’s house. Just a great song!

Good insight. I feel that Rick left the song to be up to the listener to come up with their own theory. The whole album is just SO GREAT!

Exactly. Killing in the name of a god (no matter what religion) has been used to justify wars and genocides throughout history.

The first 5 Kansas albums are all fantastic, and I would find enough reasons for each of them to call it the best. But I always thought that "Point of Know Return" was the most mature of them, an album on which "Dust in the Wind", in my opinion, is the weakest song. Enough said.

Great review don't think you will get an Xmas card from bev though 😊😊❤

I've seen reactors 'react' to it with lyrics and still not get it.

These guys were badass back in the day. So many down and dirty tracks in their library.

As a CANADIAN High school student back in the 80s, I put the needle to the vinyl. I was a fan. This is only ONE of their best of all time tunes. I am so happy that people are discovering this.

A Masterpiece about a Thunderstorm. ⛈Rush style. Another song early Rush 1974. Anthem on Fly by Night album.⛈

Glad to catch up with you. Beatles have a great catalog of songs. Hoping Dave has not listened to Octopuses Garden.

I believe the final lyrics are "Captain Jack could make you DIE tonight", not fly. And Captain Jack WILL make you DIE tonight at the fade....

Bad reaction because you didn’t play the video version. Thumbs down

Nice reaction. As always with PG, the video for this song is super.

fun song

I think the digital man becomes the New World Man.

You haven't even scratched the surface of rush. It's a deep hole.

🤣😂 I loved the first interpretation of the lyrics. A repair man who lives in a motor home. Wow, I’d have never come up with that. 😂 ✌🏼😎🇺🇸

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = Infinity

Not proggy? Are we listening to the same song?

“Madam Im Adam” from beginning to end all palindrome truly impressive songwriting to make the song flow and rhyme O stone be no so, o Geronimo no minor ego actually rhymes I grew up with weird Al he’s so awesome

You got me with the overpopulation rant. I'm with ya on that. This song captivated me when the album came out. (Yes, the album. The whole album is a treasure trove.)

The best song of 1978-79! Најбоља песма 1978-79! 1978-79 legjobb dala!

Need to do the logical song.

Absolutely awful version of this song to react to, and never have heard Chicago and generic linked together!!! 😞

I think you are right in there with your theory. Other than that, it’s just a really great Styx song!

This song is flawless, a work of genius. There are at least four great songs on that album, really really great, and Carry On...is not one of those four. I am sick of it being overplayed for more than forty years. Steve Walsh sings this so beautifully, and Kerry and Rich's guitars are sublime.

You might like 'Harley' by Johnny Cash. Best wishes. . .

11:45 The meaning of IGY is that more happens in Europe than in the US. Some things have already happened. "Undersea rails" are also real, as demonstrated by the Eurotunnel between France and the UK. "In 90 minutes from New York to Paris" refers to the Concorde. The Concorde was lost due to its price and the loss of customers who worked in the World Trade Center. Now, the world economy is rising (more in Europe), and we have more money. The governments now know better how to govern effectively (in Europe). These are all improvements by scientists. You just have to vote for politicians who adopt these improvements. Just have to grab the apple! 16:00 Regarding the free sale of weapons, shootings occur all over the world, even in places where weapons are not freely available. However, it is evident that in places where you can freely buy weapons, it is not safe enough to walk the streets with dignity. Science can evaluate relationships. If one does not accept this, then no one Swinging On A Star. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9RzpL2Jza24nWQ.html ... Greetings from Portugal

Please try asia triple xxx the best 👌

The peak of prog. Not better keyboard players though.

You are thinking too much this is one of the greatest driver songs ever you got to move to the trick of the beat

Without an appreciation of existentialism, the song might feel bombastic. It really is quite simple, yet the celebratory factor of choosing to overcome the subjective obstacles to change is central to much of the best music of the 70s. The time was a time of lost souls choosing acceptance of what we think obstructs us. "They" were in the way, and ran the show. Spiritual quests lost their meaning. "Those were few who saw it through."

Check out, Ebony Eyes, by Bob Welch, worthy of a listen.

Whiney? Complainy? Are you serious? Its obvious you have no clue what good music is. Go back to playi g your video gam3s and your justin beibler.

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE BEST. JIMMI SAID THAT STEVIE RAY WAS A BETTER THEN HIM. RIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH. IT'S STEVIE RAY. ❤❤❤❤

OK what song was he jamming on. Good work by Alan too.

Reminds more of John McLaughlin.

I see someone’s already pointed out that the Union was 1991, not 1994. I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned that they were four living members of yes not on the union tour.

Very EVH. Tuneless twiddling.☹️.

Union was '91 not '94.
