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.

Everything Is Cool Lyrics

Styx

Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
Its coming on like a fever
Burning deep inside of your brain
Have you become a believer
Have you gone a little insane
Tonight your life is a party
Let the celebration begin
Turn on the lights and lets start it
Find out what condition your condition is in
Check in
Check out
No one needs to know
What youre thinking about
In the here
In the now
You can take it in
While youre working it out
cause youre into it
When youre out of it
Everything is cool in the land
Of the brave new world
Hail to the new corporation
Fulfilling every need and desire
Come take a mental vacation
The reservation never expires
I say we make it a holiday
Bigger than the 4th of july
Declare a new independance day
Yeah theres nothing to it
You can do it if you try
Time is always on our side
Love is there to be our guide
We are spirits pure and free
And all our dreams are meant to be
Realized
But if we were granted just one minute
To choose a dream and stay there in it
How could we decide?
We are a sea of tranquility
We are the new golden age
History is a mystery
We will start it over on
A blank new page
Check in
Check out
No one needs to know
What youre thinking about
In the here
In the now
You can take it in
While youre working it out
cause youre into it
When youre out of it
Everything is cool in the land
Of the brave new world
And life is good
