Styx - Lady

lokeshmaratha1985

Review by Lokesh Maratha

The album Lady by Styx is a classic rock masterpiece that showcases the band's musical prowess and songwriting skills. Released in 1974, the album features some of Styx's most memorable tracks, including the title song "Lady," which became a hit single and helped launch the band's career.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "The Ballerina," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Styx's signature blend of hard rock and progressive rock is evident throughout the album, with tracks like "A Day" and "You Need Love" showcasing the band's instrumental prowess and tight harmonies.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Lady," a beautiful ballad that showcases lead vocalist Dennis DeYoung's soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics. The song became a massive hit for the band and has since become a classic rock staple.

This tune got me started listening to Styx seriously back in the day - they are receiving the belated respect they deserve. They tear this one up

Welcome, my friends, to a place that may seem most disturbing, quite unnerving. Lend me your dreams, and we'll have what we need to be free, terminally.

We'll fly to a spot where I know there is not any sorrow, no tomorrow. People just laugh, 'cause they know how it feels to have love and be loved.

Don't you worry, ain't no need to hurry. All you really need is love.

Now, you may say, "Tell me more of this place so inviting and exciting." Here and above, children love, without doubt what can be, what can be.

Listen, my friend, carefully, to direction to get there. And you know where. Love is the place, skewed to matter and space, for us all.

Don't you worry, ain't no need to hurry. All you really need is love.

Does anyone know the lyrics to this song, since after years and years of Styx, I still can't quite figure out a certain part of the lyrics, where all I hear it as is "Love with a duck" and yeah... that's definitely not the lyrics there hahaha. It's like with Best Thing, there's a part I only ever have heard as something about a Walnut, which again, is not the lyrics. Wish there was a readily accessible database where we could see the lyrics of these older and less known songs.
