Dust In The Wind
The Scorpions · Acoustica [2001]
All my dreams pass before my eyes in curiosity.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Same old song.
Just a drop of water in an endless sea.
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Now don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Dust In The Wind
The Scorpions' rendition of "Dust In The Wind" appears on their 2001 acoustic album, Acoustica. This recording reimagines the track through the band's signature hard rock lens, stripping away the original's soft rock instrumentation to highlight their powerful vocal delivery and dynamic guitar work. As part of a collection dedicated to acoustic interpretations, the song demonstrates the group's versatility in adapting material outside their own discography. The performance captures the melancholic essence of the composition while infusing it with the energy characteristic of the German rock legends. This version stands as a notable song in their extensive catalogue of covers and reinterpretations, showcasing their ability to breathe new life into established classics within the rock genre.
