1042 Listeners ~ Natural Trance with dj IRA vol 132 IRA Happy Birthday Edition on AH.FM
Written by Kerry Livgren, it was one of the band's first acoustic tracks; its slow melody and philosophical lyrics differ from their other hits, such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Magnum Opus". The guitar part is played by two guitarists on six-string guitars, one in standard tuning and the other in Nashville tuning, in unison to create a chimy sound similar to a twelve-string guitar.
The song's instrumental bridge contains a distinctive and highly memorable melodic line and harmony for violin and viola played by Robby Steinhardt.
The lyrics are philosophical and have a sobering message, especially in the last verse which begins: "Don't hang on/Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky".
Kansas also released a live version of the song on their album Two for the Show.
