Styx is the first musical act to ever have four consecutive triple platinum albums, and remain one of the most popular musical acts in history. The group originally formed in the Chicago, Illinois, area in 1961 as "The Tradewinds". This earliest line-up of the group included vocalist, pianist, keyboardist, and accordion player Dennis DeYoung, and a rhythm section comprising brothers Chuck and John Panozzo on bass and drums, respectively. Changing their name briefly to "TW4", the band added guitarists/vocalists James "J.Y." Young and John Curulewski. The band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records; several suggestions were made and, says DeYoung, Styx was chosen because it was "the only one that none of us hated." Guitarist Tommy Shaw joined the group in 1975 following the departure of Curelewski.

Brave New World Reprise Lyrics

Styx

Written by tommy shaw, james young
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
No fear
No pain
Never any need to worry again
More new cures
No more war
Were better off now than we were before
And the sun will always shine
You never shed a tear again
In the brave new world
You never shed a tear again
In the brave new world
Here in the brave new worlds embrace
I watch the parade begin
How will I know if theres a place
For me in the brave new world
Heavy, heavy water
Wont wash away the sins of the father
Whos that walking out the door
Who cant take it any more
Whos walking that path will fall
Forever
(heavy)
You tell me whos number one
(heavy water)
Whos not here whos having fun
(wont wash away the sins of the father)
Whos that knocking on the door
Whos not taking any more
Whos been down that road before
Without you
