EVERYDAYS
Look at the sad goodbyes
Everydays are killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday's child stays home
Nothing to say, so long
Well, well, well, another day
Well, well, well, another day
Grocery store ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree jaybird looking at me
No word
Everyone looks you can't see
We can't be ignored easily
Well, well, well, another day
Well, well, well, another day
Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstasy the sound of trees
Most anything, what a baby sees
Beautiful face all right
Many a place out of sight
Old woman there with red shoes
One million balloons all used
Drive over hills forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear
Well, well, well, another day
Well, well, well, another day

It's because Jon and Chris both missed choir practices a few years earlier ... :)

[@TriumphTSX]

The first two YES albums are vastly underrated; strangely relaxing / calming to listen to with jazz influenced spacey jams courtesy of Banks and Bruford.......RIP Squire Chris and Peter Banks you especially are not forgotten.........

[@kyma1999x]

+Harold de Mure my favourite all time records from yes are the first three...i adore rick wakeman but the first records with kaye have a special mood, less obviously baroque but the way tony kaye played the organ is impressive, and perfectly matching the style of the songs.

[@baco82]

I agree! I've always said that too. They are incredibly underrated.

[@richardpilhofer3994]

people seem to forget how much Anderson, Bruford, and Squire brought to the table when they consider the first 2 albums

[@rembeadgc]

Love the period when Jon could sing in his quieter and lower range, which is quite rich. Also love the outright jazz influence in their earlier recordings. Love what Alan White brought to the band but, Bill's departure changed so much about the band.

[@roncolem5790]

I was thinking the same thing. Later recordings, Jon started almost yelping the songs but this song along with Sweetness, I See You, Survival , you really appreciate Jon's high tenor vocals. I also agree the Bill leaving the band effected their sound so much. I saw an interview where Rick Wakeman said that"Bill leaving is when you can see the cracks in the scaffolding and we were never quite the same"

[@diannkelley3481]

I too love the lower range way more than the upper one of 20 years + later. This song really brings out Chris’s playing and shows how each member especially Jon and Steve were drop dead gorgeous.

[@brentmarquez9057]

Alan White was a great drummer, but Bill Bruford was more than a drummer, he was on artist/composer level.

[@brianshaffneraclc]

This is hilarious. Ahead of its time, years before MTV. The Bruford/Kaye period of Yes is one of my absolute favorites. It swings, grooves, and rocks in a way that the Wakeman/White period doesn't. I wish this incarnation had remained intact for a few more albums.

That doesn't look like a dab to me, instead it feels more like a double and diagonal verison of the roman salute, but that's just coincidential, i'm sure there was no maliscious intent there.

I thought of the concept of MTV in 1969. Films to music when I was 15 years old. Not bragging but like you I loved the idea. MTV started in 1981 and I heard they just shut down the channel a day or two ago. No faith nor true understanding of the concept if done properly !

[@billj8148]

Yes did some deep album dives, picking some obscure songs from bands like the Springfield and The Byrds and totally making them their own.

Agree,a wonderful cover that I only recently discovered after decades of dipping in and out of YES. Now one of my all time favourites, for as you mentioned,it's arrangement etc. The strings and vocals especially, give it a beautifully dreamy feel.
