The Remembering (High the Memory) by Yes FULL

SURITIS: The Remembering. All our thoughts, impressions, knowledge, fears, have been developing for millions of years. What we can relate to is our own past, our own life, our own history. Here, it is especially Rick's keyboards which bring alive the ebb and flow and depth of our mind's eye; the topographic ocean. Hopefully we should appreciate that given points in time are not so significant as the nature of what is impressed on the mind, and how it is retained and used.
Lyrics:
As the silence of the seasons on we relive abridge sails afloat
As to call light to the soul shall sing of the velvet sailors' course on
Of the velvet sailors' course on
Shine or moons send me memories trail over days of forgotten tales
Course the compass to offer into a time we've all seen on
Into a time we've all seen on
High the memory carry on
While the moments start to linger
Sail away among your dreams
The strength regains us in between our time
The strength regains us in between our time
As we shall speak to differ also the ends meet the river's on
So the ends meet the river's son
Ours the story shall we carry on
And search the forest of the sun
We dream as we dream! Dream as one
And I do think very well
That the song might take you silently
They move fast
They tell me
There's someone rainbow
Alternate tune
In the days of summers so long
We danced as evenings sang their song
We wander out the days so long
And I do feel very well
That the evenings take you
Silently, they move round
Sunlight, seeing ground
Whispers of clay
Alternate ways
Softer messages bringing light to a truth long forgotten on
As we shall speak todiffer also the ends meet the river's son
So the ends meet the river's son
I reach over and the fruit of life stands still
Stand awhile we search our past we start anew
The music sings of love you knew
We walk around the story
Out in the city running free
Sands of companions sides that be
The strength of the meeting lies with you
Wait all the more regard your past
School gates remind us of our class
Chase all confusion away with us
Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
We walk around the story
Out in the city running free
Days pass as seconds turn the key
The strength of the moment lies with you
Don the cap and close your eyes imagine yourself that is the challenge
Iron metal caast to other
Distant drums
Force the bit between the mouth of freedom didn't learn to fly
Remember to sail the skies
Distant suns
Will we reach
Winds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you
Relayer
All the dying cried before you
Relayer
We've rejoiced in all their meaning
Relayer
We advance we retrace our stories
Like a dreamer all our lives are only lost begotten changes
We relive in seagull's pages
Outwards ways
Things are all in colours and the size of other's shall send you forward
Arranged to sail you toward
A peace of mind
Will we reach
Winds allow
Other skylines
Other skylines to hold you
Relayer
All the passion spent on one cross
Relayer
Sail the futile wars they suffer
Relayer
We advance we retrace our story, fail safe now
Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
Press over moments leaving you
Out in the city running free
Days pass as seconds turn the key
The strength of the moment lies with you
Out tender outward lights of you
Shine over mountains make the view
The strength of you seeing lies with you
Ours entrace we surely carry on
And change the passing of the sun
We don't even need to try we are one
And I do think very well
As the truth unfolds you
Silently
They move time
Rainbows
Sunlight
Alternate tune
Alternate tune
Rainbows
Soft light
Alternate view
Sunlight
Tell Me
Someone
Alternate view
Alternate view, surely, surely

Amazing, awesome unique. My very best of YES. Even after decades I still got goosebumps when listening to that masterpiece that lasts forever! "Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays Pass amongst your memories told returning ways As certain as we walk today Press over moments leaving you"

[@jonathanwhite5640]

this is so pure it makes me shed tears of Rejoice.

[@davidgarione2206]

I remember buying Tales...in 1980. At the time I was 18 and had listened Yes since 1972. I also remember I knew very few of English by then. so the lyrics impressed in the album were absolutely useless for me. However, I got emotioned when listened tghis masterpiece, especially The Remembering and Ritual. I always wept with this last song,mainly at the end (and still do), which I think is magnificent. I never saw Yes, one of my favourites bands ever. But in 2013 I was glad and fortunate to see Jon Anderson in Mar del Plata, the city I live in. By that time I got to the conclusion that all aI cycle had been completed in my life. Music is so universal, you know. It´s the most universal of languages, and it's far from words.. Thaks for uploading it, and many thanks for all the music Yes has given us.

[@will1988a]

Never has a piece of music held my attention throughout as this...almost like being meditation! Amazing

[@armandoarceo3101]

Esta pieza es una de las obras de arte más majestuosas de la historia de la musica. Armando from Mérida, Mexico.

[@newvultraz]

This one really grows on you after a while... "Like a dreamer, all our lives are only lost begotten changes".

[@katemurphy1915]

Ø TFTO grew on all of us eventually...brilliant music from my childhood.

[@builderbanana3620]

Topographic oceans is such an understatement to Yes's musical goal. I think this is my favorite Yes song ever.

[@maxwellfan55]

Well put. The music is still there for those with perception and not just quick gain.

[@lisazinn866]

Me too.

[@TheOrganiston9th]

@@maxwellfan55 Do you also feel this way about "Awaken"? It's long been a favorite for me... in what I believe to be similar ways to what you've described... but I love this as well. The Mellotron is so effective (along with ALL the music, o'course...)!

[@lisazinn866]

Literaly the soundtrack of Heaven. Thank you and well done.

[@MegaTubetiger]

A superb video which fantastically compliments this beautiful 2nd Movement of Tales from Topographic Oceans.

[@lisazinn866]

I have seen Yes here but I cannot wait till Jon becomes one of the Heavenly Host. Jon you are an Angel.You are LIGHT!

[@slashhdtrailers1525]

The bass guitar sounds so full its amazing Chris Squire will always be my favorite progrock bass musician

[@MegaTubetiger]

An extraordinary composition full exceptional beauty, passion and grandeur!

[@saurian11]

The vocals and harmonies in this Beautiful Epic are some of the best that YES have ever done, in my opinion!!!

[@robinlewis3725]

I love entire album ! This is an awesome band. { YES ) Sir Rob a faithful Knight serving Lord Jesus !

[@toddtrimble2555]

Holds a special place in my heart. From the childlike carnival music in the beginning to the washed-out pastel synth colorations at the end -- Jon Anderson at his most mystical and high-flown.

[@muso4001]

Haven't listened to any Yes since Chris left us, after a whole lifetime of the joy of Yes, nothing will ever come close for me, the band was always, for me, the most creative, innovative, unusual, pioneering... There is a unique love there that only Yes fans can understand, only love ever came across from their musical palette, so glad to be one of the lucky people who knew and got to see Chris play in the band he loved so much. Never big-headed but when he played... More than a little emotional listening to this! Best wishes and Love to Yes fans the world over!

[@chriscutchey9463]

"Discovered" Yes when they made The Yes Album and have loved the fusion of real musicianship on vinyl ever since. Saw them at the NEC having their reunion concert. I wish we could see their like again. Wonderful having it on KZbin!

[@andrenewcomb3708]

There is so much illusion on Earth. But there is "Yes"!

[@airlock2011]

first 3 minutes are epic music making

[@zosojojo8024]

yes is the best name for this band. that's just what one says when they can hear them. "yes"

[@alanweissaltz1882]

So it only took me 50 years to fall in love with this album if ever there was a way to be wanted this was one,

[@evelynstroem8205]

WOW !!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️✨🇮🇸🇮🇸

[@maitreyalux]

The song is deeply veiled in esoteric lore.

[@lisazinn866]

I remember the first Yes album I ever heard was " Going for the One" . I thought what the he'll is this noise? Within 3 months I had every Yes Album and I've seen them. Thankfully.

[@frankbotterweck8938]

I think most listeners do not realize how hard squire howe and white rock on certain passages ... relayer is a logical step, with or without wakeman. The music here is, for me, the finest ever recorder.

[@garyhshiproad6549]

M very favorite track from the "Tales" album. Wonder why they passed this over when choosing to play "Ritual" during the Patrick Moraz years and later in the 90's choosing to play "Revealing Science" with the Wakeman reunion. Certainly the most beautiful track from the album I think....

[@YodiRoberts]

I remember how mesmerized I felt the first time I played this album, this piece in particular, I loved singing along and replay until I got the perfect intonation. This was back in the mid 70s when I was 17 and I still remember it as if it was yesterday!

[@garyn1953]

I remember. I bought it as soon as I could then.

I was just imagining if our planet survives and in several years we could enjoy holographic yes concerts in our living rooms.

vzq, you do so nice with these collections of sound.

[@errevea]

wow

[@silverwhite100]

Topographic Oceans seemed a bit over the top at the time ,,,,,,, But now i can appreciate this album being as good as it is ,

[@dennispetzold869]

By far, "Tales" was their most sublime work. It captured perfectly the spirit of the "East-West Religious Movement" of the early 1970's. In my view, this side, "The Remembering" holds up the best. .... I'll bet Ram Dass enjoyed this album.

[@MatChew75]

Greatest soundscapes you'll ever hear and then you get the around 13:10 and Alan white and Chris Squire just break it down into a awesome groove. Absolutely brilliant. One of the greatest meditative masterpieces of music you ever will hear! Listening to this album really brings you to a higher plane in your mind, It cordially invites you to your left hemisphere. Actually tell people to listen to this album and this song in particular if there in a really bad place And they want to ascend To a more Conscious state of positive awareness. Brilliant keyboard work by Rick Wakeman. Steve Howe so eloquently plots his way through this song. No band puts forth the depth of a mind and body exp that even come close to doing what they did on this album and their next album relayer with gates of delirium sound chaser in to be over, which brings your state of mind to a darker realm.. had Patrick moraz on keyboards........killer on the keys

[@SanFranciscoJames]

who were kind enough to take a few of us lost souls with them on their honeymoon!!!!! then, in later years, i heard Fragile and Close to the Edge, and 90125, but never did get to this album....but i did get well acquainted with Yogananda along the way..so this was quite a nice surprise, to put it mildly....

[@negaversebuffet1954]

the amount of times i went "whoa" while listening to it in public for the first time is staggering

[@mwmann]

Bought this after previously purchasing The Yes Album and Fragile in 72. I had no idea they had a new album out. I saw the cover and it blew me away. Then I went by a friend's house and we played it. Instantly knew I loved this and my friend became an instant Yes fan. Still my favorite album and music of my life.

[@txeire]

magnifico

vzqk50CL !!! You have no less than an EPIC rendering of this awesome Yes tune, Dude!! (if you ARE male?) This is totally blowing me away in that it is SOOOOO GOOD! I'm ready to suggest that this combination of your video to Yes' excellent rendition of "ways to SEE" life {"...the strength of the SEEING lies with you!"} just 'may be' a pineal gland decalcifying tool !! AWESOME JOB vzqk !!!

[@Wambligleshga]

Something has apparently changed here. I feel that the comment I made above wasn't about THIS video rendering as I don't see what is /was so striking now? Could I have made this excited statement about a different video?

There is no mono mix of this album. It was only mixed in stereo.

[@dgushi1]

to me one of the best Yes songs ever!

[@haroldjiler2078]

Dave Gushi at one time this band was touched by GOD and Anderson his singing angel told us of things we could not see yet they were all around us

[@gortleib]

It's in mono! Could you please upload again in STEREO?

I see god

[@davelewitt]

@ytemsg- Jesus would most definitely say yes

[@nectarinedreams7208]

Wow, the audio on this is awful. Guys, please buy the CD/LP or stream it.

[@howedelamitri]

someone will come to offer the world an alternate view of life and our relationship to one another, and set the course for a better, more peaceful future

[@stevehanstein6482]

They were never an ordinary english rock'n' roll band. And each one of them were unique. I think they were influenced by what europe would call an Eastern European sound ( such as the band; ELP)
