Released as the first single from The Grand Illusion, “Come Sail Away” helped get them to this next level, as the Styx became one of the top arena rock acts of the next few years.

Charted #8 in US, in 1978.

Styx - Live 2017

Written and sung by Styx keyboard player Dennis DeYoung, this song is about following your dreams by embarking on a journey into the unknown. In the second verse, he misses out on the pot of gold, but continues to carry on.

The song is a personal one for DeYoung, who wrote it about struggling to break through to the next level with Styx. Formed in the early ’70s, they grew a solid fanbase but were always the support act (for Bob Seger, Foghat, Rush, Kiss, Aerosmith, etc.), never the headliner.
