Dust in the wind


"Dust in the Wind" by Scorpions is a song written in the key of D major. It was originally recorded by the American rock band Kansas in 1977, and later covered by Scorpions in 1996 for their album "Pure Instinct". The song is a melancholic ballad that explores the ephemeral nature of human existence and the inevitable passage of time. It was written by Kansas band members Kerry Livgren and Robby Steinhardt. A curious fact about this song is that despite its popularity, it was never released as a single. The melody is characterized by acoustic guitar arpeggios and poetic lyrics, creating a haunting and introspective atmosphere.
