DJ Allyn – The Soundtrack for my Life
Come Sail Away ~ Styx
The band originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois area in 1961 as “The Tradewinds”. The band played local bars while attending Chicago State University. This early line-up included brothers Chuck Panozzo and John Panozzo on guitar and drums, respectively; and Dennis DeYoung on vocals and keyboards. Changing their name briefly to “TW4″, Chuck switched to bass guitar and the band added guitarists/vocalists James “J.Y.” Young and John Curulewski.
In the early 70’s, the band members decided to choose a new name for the band and several suggestions were made and according to DeYoung, Styx was chosen because it was “the only one that none of us hated”.
They released their first album, Styx in 1972 and went nowhere. In 1973 they released Styx II, but didn’t get much of a play until one of the songs on that album, “Lady” broke through in 1975.
After that hit finally popped and went gold two years after its release, they released Equinox, which yeilded instant success with “Lorelei” and “Light Up”.
Come Sail Away
http://djallyn.org/media/come_sail_away.flvI’m sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I’ve got to be free free to face the life that’s ahead of me
On board I’m the captain so climb aboard
We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I’ll try oh Lord I’ll try to carry onI look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we’ll try best that we can to carry onA gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with meI thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
