On board I’m the captain
OK. Styx. Come Sail Away. I never really appreciated the full epic proportions of that song until today. What an anthem. Dennis De Young singing way too overconfidently about angels, childhood and UFO’s – weird shit. It starts out all mellow and classical and then gets super heavy and then descends into weird electronic psychedelic Who-like pinball wizardry. I have a sneaky suspicion this is another one of those odd “Classic Rock” songs inspired by The Lord of the Rings. But it’s a huge song for the early morning automotive commute.

It’s also a good recession era song. A song for the times. I want to console my work neighbors, this cool boutique architecture shop that’s fallen on hard times and is going to have to give up their sweet office space and move into their Presidents home, with the song. Carry on my friends.

But really. This economy sucks. Can someone please do something. Quick, before Dennis De Young decides that a Styx comeback tour is the key to jump starting it all.
