Prog On A Friday. "Miracles Out Of Nowhere".

 Have you ever experienced tears of joy?  I have.  Twice when I saw my two sons born and once when I saw Kansas play live.  It's a surreal feeling.  Tears running down your face and your heart bounding with joy.

I  dreamed and dreamed of seeing Kansas.  Then one day in 2014 my old friend emailed me and told me he would get us tickets if I wanted to fly over to Warsaw to see them.

A few months later I flew there and one night we saw Suzanne Vega and the next night we saw the world's greatest Prog Rock band: Kansas.  They didn't  disappoint. 

Today's track I would like to play is "Miracles Out Of Nowhere".   Founder Kansas member Kerry Livgren had a Christian conversion and a lot of the Kansas songs have spiritual meanings.  This song could be about someone realising that God is real and that earthly treasures are not really so important.

The song could also about a little band from Topeka in Kansas being signed up and becoming the legend that is Kansas.  If any band deserves to be in the Rock Hall of Fame it is Kansas:

In the times we live in.  We could all do with a miracle out of nowhere.  Enjoy:

  1. I must admit that that is a good song - melodic and musically well-packaged. I can now see why you are a Kansas fan. As for tears of joy - they ran down my cheeks at Wembley Stadium around 5pm on May 24th 2008. Hull City 1 Bristol City 0 - to take us into the top division of English football for the very first time.

  2. You sum up Kansas very well YP.

    I remember watching the famous Man United (on television) in the 1999 Champions League Final. I metaphorically hid behind the couch for the second half shouting: "They are not going to do it". Then the baby faced assassin Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came on and scored the winning goal and United had won the Treble. That was one of those moments too.

  5. Hi Maria-Elaine. Great choice of tracks. I love Song For America. A Woman's Love is very good and it's got a great nineteen seventies sound. It makes me think of Bob Seger. Thanks for commenting.
