Interesting. I've always liked this song, but it came up on my Def Leppard station
Who cares about Supernatural ? Kansas didn't write one of their best songs for your bullshit adolescent, emo TV show.

It brings me to very sad times in my life, looking back, without these experiences, I would not be where I am today, so thanks for those sad times Kansas, they helped immensly. DE

it's because the people at supernatural have good taste in music, a couple of my stations will play 3 or 4 songs in a row featured on that show... personally I love cruisin in my 78 trans am blasting this song :D

Great great song!
great music, great band
back when the jams meant something..!
I had the album Leftoverture . . . . played it to death :)
One of the best songs of the 70's
I remember hearing this song way back in high school. I always liked the Kansas album covers and this song.
"Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean..." That's poetry.
Yes, one of the best songs...peri o d
KANSAS ROCKS.
Brings back old memories, The good days
Good song but on Avenged Sevenfold? Really?
f**k f**k fuckedy f**k f**k f**k, hardy har, i love this song.
Kansas was and always will be one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all time.

underwood91

underwood91
f*rt.
Good ole song~!
dallalan
Gotta luv it...
i love this song! it makes me think of dean winchester every time i hear it!
This gets played on my NIN Radio? Really?

C'mon Pandora.
f-a-r-t is filtered as a bad word?! i'm shocked. and slightly appalled.
i f*rt in this song's general direction.
This song didn't mean much to me until Supernatural started using it. It's so perfect for the series, it's like it was written with Dean Winchester in mind. xD
One of my favorite tunes ever.
This is a Great song~!
supernatural ! ! !
i saw them play this live it was awesome
I love this song. I learned how to play most of it on the guitar about two years ago, and each time I hear it I am compelled to pick up the guitar and learn it a little better.
Got goosebumps when it popped up on my station.

THAT'S IT. time to get our Guitar Hero out again!
Great tune!
Brings me back to 1992 (I had just learned this song) and hiking with my 8th grade class through the mountains around Garmisch, Germany. I was walking and singing it to myself. One of the parents heard me and told me that I should be singing songs closer to my age.
I can't believe I like this song so much...see that I am new school
