Kerry Livgren originally didn't want the former to be released due to its depressing lyrics, and the latter was a last minute addition to ''Leftoverture''.

** Their 1985 hit "All I Wanted" is a slick produced power ballad and was quite different compared to what Kansas did before. There are violins on the song, but it's emulated with a synthesizer instead. It was also there last Top 40 hit (charting at #19).
