High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Song for America is the title track from the second album of American progressive Rock Band, Kansas. It was written by guitarist keyboardist Kerry Livgren during the period of heavy touring for their first album. It is known for its symphonic structure, and it's lyrics showing America's state before and after colonization. To this day it remains one of Kansas' definitive pieces of music, appearing on most of their live albums and DVDs. The song begins with a 3 minute instrumental overture; many of the melodies would be reprised later in the song. It is dominated by the keyboards of Steve Walsh and Kerry Livgren, along with Robby Steinhardt's violin. Dave Hope's bass is also very prominent. Both Steinhardt, and Walsh have vocal parts in the song. It, like many other Kansas songs, is noted for its symphonic structure, one of the defining features of progressive rock. The final section of the instrumental overture, closes the song, totaling a little over ten minutes long. The single version of the song had most of the instrumental parts edited out, and is cut down to three minutes.
