“Dust in the Wind” by Kansas always hits me in a quiet, unexpected way. 🍃
I first heard it at a moment in life when I needed to slow down, and since then it has stayed with me like a gentle reminder that nothing, time, moments, even people, ever really stays in our hands for long.
What makes it even more special for me is knowing it comes from Kansas , the American rock band formed in the 1970s in Topeka. A group known for powerful, energetic tracks like Carry On Wayward Son, yet here they are showing a completely different side, soft, reflective, almost fragile.
Every time I listen to it, I feel like I’m being reminded to let go a little more, appreciate a little deeper, and not hold on too tightly to things I can’t keep.
In the end, it feels like a quiet truth I keep relearning, we are all just dust in the wind. 🌙❤️

The Story Behind "When You Wish Upon a Star"
"When You Wish Upon a Star" is one of the most iconic and beloved songs in the history of Disney and American cinema. It was created for the 1940 animated film Pinocchio , which is based on the Italian children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. The song was written by Leigh Harline, who composed the music, and Ned Washington, who wrote the lyrics. This musical duo crafted a piece that has transcended its original context to become a timeless anthem of hope and dreams.
First Performance
The song was first performed by Cliff Edwards, who voiced the character Jiminy Cricket in Pinocchio . Edwards, a popular singer and actor of the time, brought a warm and heartfelt delivery to the song, making it an instant classic. In the film, Jiminy Cricket sings "When You Wish Upon a Star" during the opening credits and later reprises it as a lullaby to Pinocchio. The gentle melody and inspiring lyrics resonated deeply with audiences, helping to cement the song's place in popular culture.
The song's lyrics are simple yet profoundly moving:
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
