Dust in the Wind (Kansas Cover)

Dust in the Wind (Kansas Co... Lyrics & Chords

Most of you who’ve worked with me know that one of my biggest flaws is the fact that I don’t always pay careful attention to the meaning in the lyrics and hence am not as expressive as I should be.

This is a song by Kansas, a song that always makes me think. I have sung this numerous times at different shows/functions etc and every single time I feel something profound. I have uploaded this a long time back on Muziboo, but it was a very bad version. I felt this song deserved better. Hence uploading a new version. Do pay attention to the lyrics.

The scale of this song is very very high at points and I’ve sung in falsettos in those portions. Also the track already had harmonies in them for a change.

Hope you all enjoy this one (Hindi and English listeners alike!)

Lyrics:

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the momen’t gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we 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, ohh 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
The wind

George, the harmonies are just too awesome.
This is totally your type of songs, I would expect you to do songs like this, Right Here Waiting or some Bryan Adams songs. Last time you gave me a huge surprise with Linkin Park, though a pleasant one.
The acoustic picking on this song btw, is one of the most requested guitar tabs!
cheers!

Hey George – great singing…… I may not do all the things that you do right, but let me confess: I have the same flaw (of not paying attention to lyrics and not being expressive) that you have mentioned – but, I think you sing extremely well despite your self-confessed flaws. I don’t know if you have got already bored with this feedback: you have a great voice; more suited for western style; but even modern hindi film songs are also composed that way nowadays. I have listened to many of your songs on muziboo and one thing I am seeing consistently is that you have really mastered the art of mixing…. all your songs (at least those I have heard) are perfectly mixed.

Georgy,

Good job as always….i liked it….could have been better overall……love all the songs by Kansas……The first one I heard when i was little was “Carry On Wayward Son”……loved the lyrics of the same too….nice melody……

u have covered this one nicely……was just wondering how the high notes would sound in ur normal voice….not the falsettos….i mean even the original has falsettos but it has a lot of body……ur falsettos were a bit thin if u know what i mean……the first 2 stanzas are very soft and the last para has a lot of punch in the vocals……u sang the whole song softly which gave a different feel to the song from the original……i hope u know what im referring to….cant explain it any better :)……try it again some time…….those are the key places in this song….

but still thats an experiment u can do sometime and send it to me……im sure u will rock in that one too……

Well, overall ill say this is ur interpretation of this song, which was beautiful but if i compare with the original (comparing just the feel, expressions…okay!!! :)) then it was lacking a bit……thats just my 2 cents……probably cos i have listened to this song so many times……

Regards,
Rahul/AJ

Murali Venkatraman said

This is one of my biggest favorites. A contemplative and absolutely pessimistic song. Ideally this should be sung in absolutely devastated mood. Anything less would only be a far-from good imitation.

You captured the song pretty well. The lines : “Dont hang on” should be done better. Enjoyed and favorited !

Good work.
Voice… Compared to the Originals your sang with a soft touch, but it goes well to bring the right feel to the song.
Lyrics …. Applied well, no flaws.
Mixing parts were done well.
Expressions fully rendered that is what is required.
Liked it and 95/100 from me so gave a 5/5 from me.
