An anthem for the budding existentialist

"Dust In The Wind" by Kansas has always been one of my favorite songs.  In addition to using the violin so movingly, it has one of the best downcast sets of lyrics in any rock song.  Looking back, though, it amuses me that I latched onto the song at age seven.  While singing along with one's Snoopy radio at that age isn't unheard of, it's fairly unusual when you're that young to gravitate toward lyrics such as, "I close my eyes--only for a moment, and the moment's gone..." and "All your money won't another minute buy."  Also, although we didn't sing it, I thought it was funny that our sixth grade camp songbook contained a lot of folk songs--and, incongruously, "Dust In The Wind."  As thoughtful as the song is, I've never thought of it as campfire sing-along material.
