Loves comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me
Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decide
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise
Lost on a wave that you're dreaming
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decided
Straight light moving and removing
Sharpness of the colour sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that relates to all the words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the sun with its arms all around me

brilliant turn up the bass so the floor shakes.
I bought this album right after it was released. I was 16yrs old. I loved it then & still love it!! Yes, ELP & King Crimson were my favorites in high school! Now, thanks to RP, I also listen to Porcupine Tree, Tool, Shpongle etc (among a lot of other new stuff) Thanx to RP! That is why we come here. Thanx RP!

Although this may have been pointed out elswhere, I cannot claim to be a YES devotee but always appreciated their music the most when I had reasonable expectations of what they'd deliver. Given the appropriate mindset and time, they usually delivered an exciting musical journey that, even when predictable, was a pretty good (non-commercial) adventure.

I'm 46 years old and have never gotten myself around to enjoy Yes from the early years. I loved the album with Owner of a lonely heart' on it.
This song here is actually the first time I don't stop listening, am intrigued, want to know how it evolves. Have listened to the whole thing although it's quite a lengthy tune.
So... it can take that long - 30 years in my case - to finally feel a connection with a certain band/music.
Thanks RP fo making that possible for me

I can understand why RP doesn't play Yes often - they are not an easy listen, the meaning of the lyrics is either undecipherable or at the least very obscure, and Jon Anderson's vocal style is pretty unusual. But man/dude, their musical talent - both the composition and execution - is unmistakable!

1971. . .it was just a few years earlier that "she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" was kind of cutting edge - and while the fab four proved themselves later, there were those other bands that turned us onto little snippets of Jazz, Classical music and other worlds and mindsets like Yes, Genesis and ELP. I can understand people not getting them, but all the puking emoticons?? Maybe you are in the wrong place. As a kid, I was blown away the first time I heard Fragile - and I am still amazed how great an album it still is.

They were about to go on tour when Anderson had a respiratory problem and they had to postpone the tour. Then the rest of the band decided to get the tour going again without him (don't know why) and hired a tribute band singer. I find it very lame that they would tour without the heart and soul of the band. They are all very talented musicians yet Anderson is largely responsible for their success and over-all sound. Anderson is recovered and doing mini solo tours at this time.
In the early-80s they toured for a while with a replacement singer - Trevor Horn - one of the members of The Buggles (the other member - Downes - also played keyboards on that tour). I saw them on that tour. It wasn't bad but it wasn't Anderson.
I recently saw a broadcast on satellite TV of one of their concerts from just a couple years ago. I was surprised at how well Anderson sounded on it but I think they were careful which selections they used.
Given their many lineup changes over the years it is amazing how consistent they sound. Maybe not to quite the point of King Crimson, but getting there.

Although I generally found the high-pitched singing style to be irritating and the frenzied instrumentals to be grating, I did see Yes in concert (New Haven, 1979). What was really annoying was that the singers really could not even remotely approach the notes they sing on the albums. Maybe time and age had intervened, but without the vocals being at least reasonable approximations of the upper ranges they were intending, the overall effect was not pleasing. How they might manage in 2010, I can only shudder to think.
And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!

What a shame they cheesed out and are currently touring with a sound-alike replacement for the brilliant Jon Anderson.
No more Yes - I just can't take it! Awful!

Agreed. This is the best cut of the LP.
A tad bombastic and self-important? Yes, perhaps. Jon Anderson's voice actually seems to work in this song. The writing is incredibly original. And I hum along through the whole song!
Yes!

Absolutely. Avatarland felt like familiar territory thanks to the Yes cover art.
Enjoyed Avatar but wish it was not so misleading. Corporations do not cleanse folks; governments cleanse folks.

how many crappy commercial stations would have listeners taking the time to write in with their diverse memories, opinions and perspectives (based on age as much as culture) about the music being played. This what RP is all about. Confronting us with stuff we forgot or never knew. Yes to the album cover. Never mad about the band though. More technique and heart.

I've been to three incredible Yes concerts in my life, and to this day am as impressed as I was in the 70's and 80's!

Now this is music!!!
this is one of the few albums that i kept when i made the change to CD
great album cover too
the first time i ever saw them was in either '72 or '73, they were an opening act for Peter Frampton and then later on Mountain in a soccer stadium in the Bronx, NY. they played for 3 hours, did 3 encores, and basically kept Frampton and Mountain cooling their heels for a while. they were easily the best of the 3 bands that played that concert.

I made a mixed cassette, back in the day: "Genesis? Yes, Floyd." Two hours focused on this and the Yes Album for them, Lamb and Trick of the Tail for Genesis, and Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and Animals for Floyd. I gotta dig that up!

Yes, King Crimson, McDonald Giles, ELP all great bands back then and I like hearing some of these in the RP mix. I blew the my Dads Grundig speakers that he brought from Germany on this song. It was not a happy day when he came home.
But it worth it wasn't it?
I love this song. I always thought Mathematical music described Yes better than Progressive music, and this song and Perpetual Change are as mathematical as they come. Mathematical music implies no - or limited - emotion, and I think that the perceived lack of emotional involvement in their music is why many people detest them and use excessive, bombastic, self-indulgent, etc. to describe their music. But to me, this song and other Yes songs are very emotional - they frequently give me goose bumps because of their compositional and executional brilliance.

Hey! Yes is still good value. I must beg to disagree. Came to me at a time when I needed to run marathons with my brain.
This one is a tad bombastic but I like the build. One of my favourites. (Well, actually Relayer is the favourite CD.)
Like it or not, 70s prog rock played a critical part in opening doors to what a "rock group" could present to their audience, and contributed greatly to the sonic landscape of 21st century music. All these debates about whether Yes or Porcupine Tree is better just amuse me. Do you really think Porcupine Tree would be who they are, musically speaking, without Yes as forerunners? Even if a later band improves upon a genre, you still gotta give props to the folks who were the original pioneers!
But I guess telling everyong how you really really really hate this band keeps you in your warm, fuzzy comfort zone.
I was in London can't remember the exact year and a friend took me to some club to see

Thank God Kansas and Rush came along and saved me from this. Yes was something on the radio occasionally that always seemed to go on too long.

One of the few bands to be all of inspirational, cerebral, spiritual/emotional, and technically brilliant.
I got tired of Yes back in the day but its great to hear this again...
Yeesh, that Yorkshire tyke's still warbling away. Yes sure did write some prodigiously long tracks, some a whole side long. Paradise or purgatory depening on your viewpoint.
If Yes is the answer, IMO you're asking the wrong question.

While the debate to which is better: PT or Yes, will undoubtably continue here, I'd rather be lost in a Roger Dean Fantasy than one of Lasse Hoile's. One is full of wonder and beauty. The other, death and destruction, introspection.
I love Yes and did as a young man. But PT is my mainstay. So I like PT more.
Much better? That's a stretch. Jon Anderson certainly sings better than Steven. But I think that PT weaves music more cohesively. At least currently.
Great Segue, Bill. But you already knew that, oh Mr. Goldsmith.

Nice segue from Porcupine Tree to this. Amazing how much Steven Wilson sounds like Jon Anderson.

Saw Yes last year at the House of Blues. I was skeptical; they are old. But, they blew me away (well they had a little help!). Rick Wakeman's son subbed for him, and David Benoit from a Montreal Yes cover band replaced an ailing Anderson. Closed my eyes, and let the music take me back 35 years. Amazing. Yes, they played the entire album side!
Is this who 'Spinal Tap' wanted to be?
this may be the best there id
Aww common! This easily ranks up there with Spinal Tap's free-form jazz exploration phase!

Yep, agree with the last sentence. PT is much better than Yes in the same way that a back rub by a bevy of beauties (pick your sex) is better than being dangled by your nuts with cheesewire over a scorpion pit. Say No! to Yes!

Surprising that there's no commentary on how derivative this is from "21st Century Schizoid Man".

You must be thinking of Styx' Mr. Roboto.

Love this intro. Great transition from Porcupine Tree, clearly some influence there from Yes.

I was hoping I would like this but it just meanders around too much. I do like Roundabout from this album.

It's amazing how modern this song seems even 38 years later.

Awesome.
Perhaps I would have appreciated Yes had that enlisted someone else as their singer. I find Jon Anderson to be too much to take—kind of like the Frankie Valli of his decade. A quick fade-out edit after the intro would suit me just fine, appealing to Rick Wakeman fans (me) without making us endure the remaining portion of this lengthy track.
Love this intro. Great transition from Porcupine Tree, clearly some influence there from Yes.
brilliant turn up the bass so the floor shakes.
You bet!
