Her “Dust In The Wind” Cover Will Take The Air Out Of Your Lungs

We’re Just Dust In The Wind..

Playing Kansas’s “Dust In The Wind” with a seriously professional talent level is our favorite YouTube star, Gabriella Quevedo on a Tommy Emmanuel signed guitar (no big deal.) As she glides her fingers through and along the strings, the stunning acoustic she makes really fills our hearts with something that was missing before…

“I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone. All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity. Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind…”

Written by Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren, “Dust In The Wind” was highly influenced by a Native American story that contained the quote “for all we are is dust in the wind,” which encouraged Kerry to understand and analyze the important things in life. 

Interesting Fact: This was the first acoustic Kansas song, and perhaps the most famous acoustic rock song ever recorded. The song crossed over to a variety of formats, as rock, country, and adult contemporary radio stations all played it.

Although there is no singing in this particular cover, we acknowledge Gabriella for her talent, hard work and diligence as she covers this iconic classic with grace and style and you will too! Enjoy!

+ Dust In The Wind Lyrics +

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh, ho, ho

Now, don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won’t another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind
