HAVE FAITH CHILDREN NEW EARTH GROWING…

[@drpando]

I'm sitting here at home in my office, took a break from programming work..... and I just listened to this for the first time in 40 years (I was 16 when I bought the album). I closed my eyes and listened to the whole thing. Unexpectedly, here I am a grown man - and tears are streaming down my face. This song took me right back to the place where I was a hopeful young man, not close to being aware of what life can do to you. I've forgotten what it was like to have hope and wonder about what life would bring. Here, now, I suddenly remember who I was then, and that I once believed there was more to life than sitting behind a monitor, earning enough to pay the bills. No more sense of wonder or hope. Now, today though - it was wonderful getting those thoughts back in my head, if even for a fleeting moment in time. This band and the artistry they exhibit is a musical time-machine...

I am an African American who mostly listens to Jazz and Funk music, but this Masterpiece from the 1970s blew me away.

I can relate to that brother I too, am an Afro American and when I heard Yes for the first time it was back in the early 70s shortly after that I join the military went off to Boot Camp and while I was in Boot Camp strangely enough I heard Yes being played by my senior drill instructor. The song was close to the edge and that song got me through Boot Camp and it became planted in my head now it’s 2023 and I am a 65-year-old man and whenever I have a off day I listen to that song and it brings me back into a real world, and I will continue to live and respect the group that got me through life.

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

The real hit for me is 14:12 when the minimoog kicks in....I always turn it up to 13 at that part and deafen myself (the church orgran is actual too painful to listen to at that volume) but that part 14:12 that is the best Yes has ever done, and the subsequent keyboard solo, but they have never been able to recreate the sound of this part and neither has any band covering it. Theres something Bill Bruford is doing on drums, something Squire is doing on bass, Howe is following Wakeman whose minimoog is playing fifths but its out of tune, perhaps on purpose to create a very eerie sound...they just never recreate this its always too clean when they play it live...

I like this song, but it's idk...it's okay. I mean to each their own. I prefer Rush- Xanadu. That to me is a masterpiece! And I enjoy it more than this!

[@mario4everd]

@@robertomurri1278 What was the point of replying to someone who was obviously speaking how the music touched them deeply with what you thought was better? And honestly as much as I love rush they don't really get as harmonically dense as this even with xanadu. Rush is a perfect gateway to prog like elements since they are able to make music sounds commercially viable while also having musical and lyrical depth. But this isn't that, the soundscapes and uses of sounds here is on another level than any rush song and it takes more to digest. We all have our own vision of what a masterpiece is so it's stupid to brag or mention what a person thinks is better in the end of the day since music is stupidly subjective. But seriously on a personal note, I'll take this song over Xanadu anyday or I'll even take Rush's Free Will over Xanadu. It's honestly not a personal favorite of mine from rush but hey, "to each their own" XD

Words really do fail me to describe the transcendent feeling I felt listening to this album. It was absolutely exhilarating, otherworldly. It was like a powerful light was guiding me into the sky, a peaceful and warm fire that was regal and commanding, something that loves with a infinite presence, that periodically drops me back down onto earth to face the depths of this worlds chaos and pain.

One of the most life-changing moments I have with music is this track here. I was sent from NY to Colorado on a moment's notice from work, in december, with just the clothes on my back to run a tradeshow. Here I am, 12 hours later from being told what to do, in a crappy Nissan SUV in 1993. I had 1.5 million dollars of aerospace hardware in the back, no idea what I was doing, and where I was going in life. I come through the Eisenhower tunnel, through the Loveland Pass in Colorado, and I'd just come out of a blizzard as I bumbled into Keystone. The sun came out, and as the storm boiled off in the sunlight, the Rockies suddenly came into full majestic view. At the exact moment the Rockies revealed themselves, the pipe organ solo hit, and.....I burst into tears. The sheer beauty of the song, the power of the organ matching the clouds scudding along the side of the mountains, as this kaleidoscope of oranges and purples from the emerging sunlight just utterly eviscerated me in a very, very good way.

I only knew the Jackson Five and the Osmond Brothers and maybe heard a modern tune or two, but I was still listening to my favorite childhood album The Jungle Book.
