This song demands your full attention, somewhere quiet. I will be listening again, and again!

[@ericanderson8886]

Yep, the studio version of this song is unmatched, a masterpiece of prog rock. Best musician lineup ever and best prog rock ever. What else needs to be said. The two songs on the other side are classics as well.

[@gistechrep3816]

Close To the Edge is the Gold Standard of Progressive Rock. It just doesn't get any better than this.

The Holy Grail of YES Also the BEST Lineup Anderson Bruford Wakeman Squire & Howe

[@stevedotwood]

The best way to enjoy harmony is after dissonance. There is no harmony without dissonance. The opening (nature and chaos) always reminds me of The Rite Of Spring by Stravinsky. And the "cave" part is indeed beautiful, it pulls you in.

I will be 70 years old in October and was around when it first came out. It still gives me Goosebumps and Chills. One of my all time Favorites. It surely is a Masterpiece.

I bought this album when I was in Junior High School back in 1975. It changed my whole musical landscape from that point on. I love watching first reactions to this song, as it's the closest I'll ever get to reliving that moment. Thank you for this!

As a 11 Year old I stayed at my older cousins home and looked through his record collection which was full of Yes, Status Quo and Queen. The cover of Close to the Edge caught my eye and I listened to Side 1, wow was totally blown away as never knew music like this even existed. I thank my cousin David for introducing me to the rabbit hole of Prog.

That chaotic intro gives you a real good feel for the genius that is Yes. Squire is going nuts on bass, Bruford builds his own path on those drums, Wakeman adds his own chaos on the keys, while Howe on the guitar just jams like a mad man. Yes has always been known as a group of some of the most talented players/songwriters ever. In my book, one of the greatest bands ever formed in any genre.

[@TigerMtnKing]

You've just listened to the greatest song ever written by the greatest band to ever do it! This song will take you on a journey every time you listen to it.🤩

[@sandraandmichaelfield1602]

"Close your eyes and listen." As most of us Yes fans well know, Yes music requires the listener to immerse themselves, with repeated listenings, and within the privacy of one's own head; therefore to allow the music to carry you on a journey within one's own soul. With Peace and Love to all! (Michael)

The connection of the two main themes as the song comes to a climax is genius.

[@michaelyork4554]

I first heard this in '74 when I was 12 on my brothers stereo at 1500 watts, I was wiping tears from my eyes, as Jon was telling me his deepest thoughts, and I was experiencing Gods composition.

[@randy3907]

My 1st of 20+ Yes concerts was in 1972 when Wakeman's keyboard made it rain dust in the Spectrum...Culminating with meeting Chris Squire in the parking lot of a concert of a local park in 2013. He invited me to sit onstage!

[@glass2467]

One of, if not The most wonderful masterpieces by Yes.

[@TheProgCorner]

The greatest song ever written.

[@nancymjohnson]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!

[@stevennovakovich2525]

In 2027 I will have been listening to this and all the other Yes songs for 50 years. Have also seen them live in one incarnation or another since 1978. I heard the 'Going For The One' album in its entirety on KMET (Los Angeles) in 1977. I ran out and purchased it immediately.

[@yeshayahuhomberger2079]

Yes 👍💪🤙

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

Chris Squire's bass is absolute perfection. I remember the first time I got to watch him live in 1974 in Milwaukee, he was mesmerizing!
