Styx - Pieces Of Eight Lyrics

エンディングのtommyのguitar soloは,so beautiful!!!!

HASHEM SAYS THE WARS OF GOG V MAGOG COMMENCE WHEN YOU'RE READY...HE DOESN'T THINK YOU'RE READY, BROTHER...

"Come ALIVE, SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY..."!

The NINE SAID YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A HYPNOTIC PIECE...THE BEST FOR LAST TO WRAP UP THE EVENING...

4:00-4:30: some epic guitar licks here...

I call this Epic Rock.

Awesome

No one can replace dennis. No one.

Spread your wings.....

Montreal outdoors ground you know how it went down.

That look in her eye makes me feel uneasy, like she's pissed at me or something.

Who does the soloing on this? J.Y. or Tommy? It's about a melodic and passionate as Comfortably Numb...not quite, but it's up there.

It's Tommy. I know it from the DVD performance.

Pieces of eight was the best album by styx

Pink floyd is one of a kind!!their music is extraordinaire!!!

what a great band this was many years ago still love the music

Master piece! Best of the best. Rock on.

Oh those 70s..

The 2nd best STYX song after Come Sail Away. Tommy - as much as he hate Dennis - really admire this song's quality.

This is truer now than written...'we now have everything...or so it seems. Now there's emptiness...'
On the home look ar all those unhappy millenials...faces blankly staring into their phones.....

Well put and true.

Masterpiece

MUY BUEN DISCO DE LOS STYX
DESDE MI PUNTO DE VISTA DESTACA LA VOZ (NO ES STEVE PERRY)PERDÓN LA COMPARACIÓN Y SOBRE TODO LOS TECLADOS
BUEN DISCO
SALUDOS

Ive always fooled myself, in regards to Lillian

dont cast your freedoms into gold.

This song and Suite Madam Blue, pretty much sums up America today. A country more interested in being a police state to the rest of the world, rather than being a light of integrity for them. A country more interested in buying the next generation of smartphones, rather than getting to know your next door neighbor. Styx saw it back then. Yet, most people still vote for the same politicians that have the same negative attributes as they do. WE, THE CONSUMER!!!

Funny both the song and book tell essentially the same story except in the song gold's role is reversed.

Miło po latach znowu usłyszeć znajome dzwięki ,choć już nie taka sama fascynacja .....:)

And they did not play it live back in 79

Tommy Shaw was is to styx as Steve perry is to journey. The best

Was privileged to see them in concert three times. 77 in a small venue. 82 in an arena. 2012 outdoors. They are phenomenal musicians and seeing them perform this defined the word 'epic'. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

love styx great song

A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen Reykdal stop just go to the nearest bride look off the edge tie a big rock to yourself and throw it down help the world

something beautifully disjointed about Aku Aku. a sort of boarderline of sanity and melancholy.

I bought this album 1978, as a (very) young man - unfortunately, one cannot find music like this today.

infamous mobb «empty out»2mn18

This is my medication to calm my soul.....I love these guys

fucking beautiful

I just seen Styx again in Redding .ca August 19, 2018 fucking sick

Guitar solo ..awesome !!

At about 4:56 there is a sound. It's like a bell being rung twice? After this it can be heard, randomly, throughout the rest of Aku Aku. Every time I listen to this song, and It's my favorite Styx track, I anticipate this small discord. I am unable to quantify how that simple rhythmic dissonance elevates this track for me.

the music I love is gone

It's HERE. Whenever you want it!

where has life gone

Glad DdY quit this band

Systematic PEACE aligns with trustful quantities
Sheltering women's legitimate dignity (or a dignified legitimacy)
VALUE'$ progressive BALANCE.

Con este tema conici a Styx, era la música de un comercial de Lee, por el año 1978 / 1979, de alli lo segui hasta hoy, su musica me ha marcado por siempre

Qué recuerdos!

PptHWHfnCnY

Peter Warner hiatus kayote

love these songs

To my brother Allen, I love you brother and I one day we shall meet again, until then - Aku Aku

Pieces of 8 are cast from silver not gold.

443 aku aku

Beware of the Queen of Spades. Her black widow's curse might find you yet.

This is real talent not like today's music

Dennis DeYoung is just a brilliant fucking songwriter and this is one of his finest moments. Spine-chillingly good.

Don't let let it turn your heart to stone

Now more than ever.. don't let it turn your heart to stone..

Is that Grace Slick, China Cantners’ mom on the album cover? Looks like her.

Reminds me of some of Queen" music.

The group Queen

Did this come out in 1979? Aku Aku is the best song on this album. An instrumental!

james woody 1978

Smoke some more weed.

Just a Queen fan who loves Styx dropping in to say hi!

We're two.

Hi Queen fan, I often pass through your neighborhood coming home to Styx after visiting the Rush part of town.

Thank You Dennis DeYoung for your words and music! Thank you Tommy Shaw for your Music: Also; Thank you too Chuck and the late John Panozzo and James Young whom together put this great song and great instrumental together! Styx, forever a Super Star Band!

Wow, those trademark Styx vocal harmonies are amazing!

4:50, Aku Aku.

Just an awesome track!

What a recording.

BYE BYE BUDDA BUGGA!!!

Always brings back memories of warm summer nights, parties, motorcycles and the ladies or just mellowed out jamming out to STYX.... good times & good memories.

My memories exactly brother!

I absolutely love the tempo change with the bass, piano, and synth.

Whoever gave this song a thumbs down sux, doesnt know anything about music and can go lick a crab cause this is a masterpiece!

Mate your an illiterate piece of trash go to hell you dyslexic piece of shit.

CLACKSER

Clackser..???? Wtf is that? Shithead.
This song reminds me of jamming out with my dad. :)
Also, you’re*

Aku, the shape-shifting master of darkness?

to me their best song.. very powerful melody, message and a wide array of emotions created from pure talent. That my friends is real music

Be sure to break all of the boxes Crash!

Sounds like something from the Paradise Theater album.

Their last great album

Of course, I deeply enjoy the cheesy ballads of Styx too...to me, that was real musicianship...being able to move seamlessly between rock and balladry. Freddie Mercury was another king of this...He did "One Year Of Love" and "Gimme The Prize" on the very same album, 1986's A Kind Of Magic.

Yeah, I've always liked the message in Kilroy was here. A great middle finger for anyone who takes themselves too seriously really.

But David, I think Pieces of Eight is Styx at there strongest. After this album they lost their edge. There were great moments on most of the following albums, and 1999's 'Brave new world' has potential, in my view, to be a great album, but a few 'ditzy' moments spoil it a bit.

Styx at their peak. The Grand Illusion tour included 3 songs off this album.
I'd suggest that was the peak of Styx concert tours because most of Equinox was played on The Grand Illusion tour, plus new songs from Pieces Of Eight.

Kilroy not even close! Please!

without a doubt. Before they became cheesy...and I like them at cheesy too, but this one was GREAT

I always wondered where Trans Siberian Orchestra stole their sound... :-) of course the vocals are MUCH better w/Styx

Grand Illusion tour Phoenix az. 1979, awesome.

I love the way it flows into "Aku-Aku".

Beautiful song!! Listen to that voice!!

Lee Williams Stahp it, Get some help

....another Example of the Talent and Voice of DDY.
Just---Wow..!

Show !!! Show !!! Show !!!

so much depth, what a mind!

...jak wstaje słoneczko...i aż do zachodu...i nocą...
...ogromne ciarrrrrrrrrrry, od zawsze...

+ YaroSz What do you mean by "huge ciarrrrrrrrrry, always....." Hmmmm?

@Bill Krejci ...means vgood...OK

+ YaroSz Oh! Ok, that's "ciarry!"

I lived in Hawaii for 4 years while in the Navy.  Use to wear this tape out on the flight over from the main land whenever I use to travel back to the islands from the holidays.  Now when I listen to it..it reminds me of a great time in life....the calming melody and looking at the turquois water as you fly into Honolulu Airport....great song.  Thanks for the post.

How can you hate on a album of phiolosy barking the Hobbit

Google amu

Thank you for your service.  I love Styx, too.  Got me through good times and bad!

jpasinc Thank you for your service. My new Youtube channel is pro vet. You always have a home there!

2:19 This is the intro to the school's news.

still know all the words....sing it in my head all the time when ever I hear it's 6 o clock......sets me off every time...gotta finish the lyric line! 

Pieces of eight!! The search for the money tree !! Dont cash your freedoms in for gold !!"

This is my "chill pill song"...when I'm stressed and need to relax!!!!  Works everytime!

30 years later this song still makes me cry The best song they ever had in my book!!!

Best track on the album. This is Styx!

Stop it, get some help

agreed. Hope and grace to our future generations, or else it will be no less mean than the long past medieval times, which were quite unpleasant and dark.......

I always liked Blue Collar Man and Queen of Spades back when the record came out. I don't choose a favorite any more. It's all good!

I so love how Aku, Aku just flows right in after Pieces of Eight.  Very kewl!

Please bring back 12 string guitars!!!

and real talent too.

glenn Campbell he played 12 string guitar.

@randie bowlin amazing guitarist
 

J Mac
They still exist.

I have played one for 30 years nothing sounds like that

Kanye West is Chicago's and Illinois' worst contribution to music. Styx, Chicago, Survivor, REO, and Cheap Trick are our best!!

Nope. They are a Chicago band, formed in '78.

Plain White Tees too!

Roger McGuinn was from Chicago before moving to L.A to form The Byrds, and if that counts, he's certainly the greatest contribution imo

Ricky
Kanye West is a no talent who latched on with the the wicked witch family.
