Leftoverture is such a great album. And Kansas put an indelibly American stamp on progressive rock. For all the lies and shit talk about prog lyrics being about hobbits (thanks Jim DeRogatis :/) check this out:
Well, you told me that I was just not the one
And you left me standing out in the cold
It's been a long time and I'm so much better now
And you left me standing out in the cold
It's been a long time and I'm so much better now
That I'm looking back and seeing it all
And for the first time, there's no pain in my life
Been a long hard road that I've gone
We had a good thing
And it made me a man
Been a long hard road that I've gone
We had a good thing
And it made me a man
Did any other prog band sing anything like that, make even a passing reference about maturing into manhood? Great stuff.
