Soon by Yes in 1080p HD

From Wikipedia:
The final section (of Gates of Delirium, Soon), in which the drive of the previous sixteen minutes is replaced by a gentle melody and a lyrical prayer for peace, was released as a U.S. single under the title "Soon" in early 1975.
"Sound Chaser" is a mostly instrumental piece that echoes the then-popular jazz fusion of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever. "To Be Over" features complex, melodic arrangements of guitar and electric sitar (at one point quoting a theme from Tales from Topographic Oceans), and relatively straightforward lyrics.
A special promotional only, white label, "banded for airplay" version of the LP was available to U.S. radio stations in 1974. It has the track "The Gates of Delirium" broken into three segments: the opening vocal section, the instrumental "battle" middle section, and the "Soon" final section, with slight fades between each to aid with on-air segues. This was done to try to increase Relayer's radio exposure, as most radio stations would provide only limited, if any, air time to a 22-minute song. The edit of "Soon" resulting from this treatment was subsequently released as a single in the U.S.
The critical reaction to Relayer, coming after a predecessor that many critics felt was pretentious and long-winded, was mixed. However, it was still a commercial success, with many observers later considering it vastly underrated.
Lyrics:
Soon, oh soon the light,
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you,
Our reason to be here.
Soon, oh soon the time,
All we move to gain will reach and calm;
Our heart is open,
Our reason to be here.
Long ago, set into rhyme.
Soon, oh soon the light,
Ours to shape for all time,
Ours the right;
The sun will lead us,
Our reason to be here.
Soon, oh soon the light,
Ours to shape for all time,
Ours the right;
The sun will lead us,
Our reason to be here.

Wishing you the best David! Beautiful Music was me through the darkest days. Stay Strong!!

[@3bethlehem]

one can't really appreciate this song standing alone...it has so much more to say when you hear it when it was intended to be heard: as the "conclusion" of Gates of Delirium....and as I get older I appreciate Relayer more than I did as a teenager back in the 70's. Seeing Yes in concert (back then) was pure unadulterated surround sound : )

[@darrenwestmoreland6817]

Relayer was my intro to Yes. Say no more.

Chris Squire R.I.P.... Chris passed away yesterday at the age of 67 due to Leukemia... This piece SOON seems a beautiful way to listen and gently honour the life of the brilliant bass guitarist who played on every one of the YES albums ( the only member who did so ).... So soon we leave our lives behind.

One of the finest pieces pieces of music I have ever heard. Although, I believe that you need to hear the whole song to appreciate this final section...Just my opinion.

[@johnkondrk1382]

saw the "Close to the Edge" tour...best music I ever heard...pure crystal...like a diamond...I'll never forget it

[@jaybeaudoin1052]

One of my best memories of 42 years ago was seeing Yes perform at an outside venue in Newark, NJ. No one will ever create music like this ever again. The experience has never been matched.

[@dizbang5645]

Rest in eternal peace Chris Squire

[@seivaDsugnA]

+Diz Bang Don't rest Chris. Mix it up in heaven too. Keep us thinking and feeling, mate. Eternally if you can please.

[@nilsdentex65]

A master piece by one of the most innovative bands in rock history. Songs like this make me feel nostalgic, knowing also that quality music like this is no longer made nowadays. For me it is therefore YES forever!

[@michaelcraig9449]

There is lots of good bands now.. The only difference is the corporate clueless evil media only promotes degenerate garbage as their agenda.. But let me tell you the kids want to rock out!

[@anuteamsterium]

Did any band ever aim higher? After the tumult and anguish that preceded it, this piece brought a perfect tranquility. Now it brings back my youth.

[@Deacon_T]

When this song was first released, I was so stoned and god knows , I did not want the song to end. To me , it was bliss and perfection. In my 60s now, and it still feels so right.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Everybody must get stoned!

[@bellbookcandle3051]

Same here! As transcendent now as it was back then.

[@stevensprouse2449]

When I listen to Gates (which is still multiple times a week after 45 years), there is something so magical about the gong, which is the transition from the battle to the prayer; that brief moment in time I feel that I am connected, oneness, with all of creation. Yes - you do that for me. I will always love you all.

[@craioan]

Thank you YES! Heaven is here!!!

[@user-kn9eq7vm2o]

It’s my favourite song of group Yes! It’s my youth and my life!

[@robfolk7619]

This is absolutely my favorite Yes song. Steve's guitar brings me to tears! I am moved to worship by this song...and I agree with you, Jorge Leite, the Son will lead us!!

[@melanieashburyhaight7355]

MAGNIFICO ESTE TEMAZO DE YES, SOON, UNA DE LAS CANCIONES MÁS ICÓNICAS DE LA HISTORIA DE LA MÚSICA, DESDE ESPAÑA, MI MÁS PROFUNDA ADMIRACIÓN.

[@pepperonihead]

I have always loved the YES of Jon and Chris and I always will. Their music will stand the test of time as it is with all the great composers of history. YES was the greatest progressive rock band ever. Jon Anderson and Chris Squire created the most amazing music. Jon was the soul of YES! They could never be the same without Jon and Chris together. I had hoped for a reunion but sadly that never happened.

[@pappy439]

Totally agree...I listen a little to the newer prog but always go back to the masters!

[@davidfletcher5893]

Should know that but didn't Gates is such an intense piece of music concluded with this angelic song. There was the war and then the end of the US draft. I was saved from the gates of hell There is reason for every moment and i am grateful I have this moment to enjoy this song once again

[@InsertName125]

Mine too. It shouldn't be treated like a single. It's like reading the last chapter of a book out of context. The entire piece is like an epic and the entire journey is necessary.

[@alanparsonsfan]

Possibly the most longing ever heard in a piece of music. This could be their Mozart Moment.

[@LULUAVEIGA]

Not many words to describe the feelings that comes while listening to this Epic 😯

[@ChuckSchickx]

I can't find the words to describe how this song speaks to me. " Soon, oh soon the light, ours to shape for all time, ours the right. The sun will lead us, our reason to be here" 🙏

[@1allanbmw]

I used to ditch school and play this album over 'n over on the big Grundig stereo set we had. I could crank it up and NO one would ever bother me as I immersed myself in the lush enveloping world of sounds. That was '74... And when YES came to Anaheim Stadium in '76, I had to work. I've kicked myself ever since then for missing that. After work, I drove over to the stadium parking lot and sat on the hood awhile to listen. Today, it's a bit like a prized bottle of wine: I take it out, have some to enjoy it, then carefully put it back so as not to get too used to hearing it. I want it to be special each time. I'm sooo glad my generation produced such remarkable music. I hope younger generations keep it alive long after I'm gone!

[@elianike]

Conheci essa música, em 1980..... e, ouvi-la, pela primeira vez, mudou toda a trajetória do meu existir. Ainda hoje... tantos anos depois, é rápido como um piscar de olhos, eu ouvi-la e, automaticamente, remeter o meu coração, àquele exato instante mágico em que, pela primeira vez, pude sentir a minha alma se desprender do meu corpo e pairar serena sobre a minha cabeça. Numa mágica sensação de que, o mundo iria girar para sempre, como um grande carrocel iluminado pelo resto dos meus dias.

For many of my younger years in the 1970s, I expressed a wish for this to be played at my funeral. Now that I'm older and "funeral" is not such an abstract thing, I find this at times sad and difficult to listen to.

Like that singular beautiful day in life....where all of fate blessed you, and the most beautiful thing happened TO YOU. Be it a spouse, a child, a moment in time like no other. THAT is Soon from Relayer. It happened ONCE, and IT, will never happen again. Rejoice in the record of it, for it serves to remind you of that singular moment in time, where everything became beautiful for a few minutes.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

That final chord progression at the very end is genius. I'm a fan since probably 1971, and I can't understand how anyone doesn't get Yes. Incredible musicianship (in every iteration), incredible songwriting, influences from classical, fusion and rock, and a fearlessness about what they wrote and played. I don't care about the arguments about the members - everything they did was superb (except Heaven and Earth - their worst record ever.) But not a bad track record for a band who recorded so much. My favorite band ever, in any genre.

[@JeffSchreiber99]

I feel so fortunate to be coming of age 50 years ago when songs like this filled the airwaves and flew deeply into my heart ❤️ I could sense humanity is moving into a great transformation. The musicians poets and artists of the time lifted our spirits and awakening a longing for truth consciousness and bliss. For me it never ceases and keeps getting better. 🙏🏽
