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.

First Time Lyrics

Styx

Written by dennis deyoung (for paul)
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
The lights are low
And were alone
The fires glow
It keeps us warm
As I reach out and touch your face
The moon lights up our first embrace
But please dont hesitate
Hold my hand, dont be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Just close your eyes, no one will mind
If were to fall in love this first time
Dont be afraid of love
Dont be afraid of love
Dont be afraid of love
Its the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight
The two of us, were quite a pair
These lonely nights we both can share
So dont be shy, cause its okay
I understand feeling that way
Hold my hand, dont be afraid
Of the feelings in your heart
Close your eyes, no one will mind
If were to fall in love this first time
Its the first time
The first time for love
There could be so many worlds and mountains
We could climb
Together, the two of us tonight
