The song Clair de Lune and Ballerina by Styx.

It seems you finally had to choose

I guess there was no other way

Between my love and satin shoes

I knew the words you'd have to say

It all began so long ago

That the memory's hardly clear

But when I seen you dance I know

Half your love I'll always share

Ballerina when you dance there's music

Colored lights illuminate your movement

Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile

Ballerina from the first I knew that

You would always have to dance I knew that

There would surely come a day when you would go

Baby I know...

Dance for me, I beg of you, dance for me

Dance for me, ballerina, dance for me

Ballerina when you dance there's music

Colored lights illuminate your movement

Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile

I remember playing the "Crystal Ball" disc more than any of their others(huge Styx fan). I remember hearing this final track for the first time and just being BLOWN AWAY by what I heard. Dennis DeYoung really took the era of 70's "romanticized rock" to the pinnacle with this composition- building a love song from one of the most romantic & beautiful works of classical music ever composed. Pure genius....

the best Styx song ever, how can anyone not like this? it may be one of the best songs ever created even if you hate this band you have to admit to it. when it goes into the string part it's on! "Dance for Me I beg you" sends chills up the spine then the solos/harmonies hit you like a ton of bricks and keeps on going...this section of the tune rivals Hotel California! in many ways it is better, 10 times more feeling before it ever gets there then it leaves you stunned at the end going man "I gotta hear it again!"

Tommy joins the band....and immediately proceeds to fucking wail. God, Styx is just simply one of the greatest American contributions to rock music ever.

Perhaps one benefit of social media is.. the fact we can express ourselves in ways that can make each other expand our minds. Excellent commentary. Thank you.

I don't know about DeYoung's inspiration for the song, but in conjunction with the album art and 'Clair de Lune' I've always imagined Ballerina being about a sad, angst-ridden man coming to terms with (most likely) years of slowly being pushed out of his lover's life, a casualty on the long road to perfection. I've always liked imagining Tommy and JY's dueling guitar solos as representing a heated argument between the two. But you know what they say, great art can be interpreted many ways. :)
