Yes - Homeworld (REACTION) with my wife

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

Every time I listen to this song, the greater it is. Like most Yes songs!!!

[@markjohnson4217]

This was actually a great album and deserved more praise. To me it was the last YES album that really moved me and carried that special vibe that only YES could deliver. Lightening Strikes, Face to Face and The Messenger are great bangers from the album.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

This is wonderful. As you have found out, Yes is fabulous and have many faces.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

Yes, Andre, it is a masterpiece. And the more you listen to it, the better it gets. Amazing.

[@romanjohnston]

This band in the 80s was music that healed my soul from the abuse I experienced as a youth. It took me about 5 years to process it all once I got out on my own. YES, Pink FLoyd and Rush were staples in my life that gave my soul relief and direction.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

Let’s face it, listening to a band that has such a catalogue of tremendous music for 54 years is amazing. Thanks Yes. I know most of the are gone from this world, but thank you for enriching my life for so long.

[@edf13]

The greatness of this song gets lost amid the greatness that is YES

[@paulsomersetwolf5970]

What a great Band love there music such talented musicians no one has a voice like Jon Anderson So much to explore with YES great choice.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

It goes into your soul.

[@Bunny99s]

The game Homeworld was a milestone in computer games and was kind of a rebirth of real-time strategy games. The combination with this song was just outstanding. The lyrics were written to fit the theme of the story of the game.

[@paulvalletta01]

This period of Yes, late nighties were really underestimated by fans, because of dynamic changes to the group's line up. I only ever wanted to see one group live, and that was Yes, I was visiting my sister in Canada, and she got me tickets to their concert, which has this line up. I will forever remember this concert, and the musicianship was extraordinary, Igor Khoroshev was pretty amazing on the keyboards. Amazing reaction both, again you are well loved by those who you entertain by these reaction video's, love to you both.

[@HendersonDavid-m8r]

That was beautiful! I'm a longtime YES fan, and don't remember listening to this. I'm a little ashamed of myself for not giving their "later stuff" a closer listen. That just changed! I loved the smiles on your face's. YES does that to me too. Thanks...that was great!

[@Yes_Jorge_Yes]

The Ladder is a Fantastic Album, all of it. There are also some absolute Gems on Keys of Ascension 1 and 2 like Mind Drive and That That is. Also in Magnification Spirit of Survival and In the Presense of .

[@paulsomersetwolf5970]

I haven't listened to the later Yes either really but to hear this track is beautiful Jon's voice is immaculate as usual but as a band they never lose there sound The way they can change a track throughout shows what fantastic musicians they are They have produced masterpieces throughout there Career like Close to the Edge! Awaken' Ritual' The Gates of Deliriam, plus many more & this track is right up there with them. Class Band RIP Chris, Alan,🙏❤

[@kevinlese633]

Fantastic album. Got to listen to it ten times then it starts sinking in

[@DZibman]

The Ladder is their best since Going for the One (IMO).

[@kevinlese633]

I really like magnification

[@donaldshulenburg1553]

I love both of you. You are so authentically good people. Your reaction is what good people of every origin feel. That is the message in this song. HOME. We all grow up in a home. Some are positive and some not so much. But if you are in a loving home it is the most important part of your human development. I have to say this this, one of the most poetic and profound lyrics in this this song to me is "Hate destroys the soul of anyone who tries to teach it" . God bless you and I will continue to follow you.

[@surestrike4893]

This was a really good album. It reminded me of the older stuff with a new feel to it. I enjoyed the game as well.

[@roydavis5222]

My favorite band of ALL TIMES

[@MrDuneedon]

Ah-I absolutely love this song (and the album The Ladder, in general). What a fantastic live show I saw on that tour in 1999, by the way.

[@kevinlese633]

Took my son to his first concert For the Ladder tour

[@gannon5409]

Please listen to the album Magnification. It was the first album I listened to, when I was 15. The I got hold of the ladder. The Magnification album was the same year they filmed the live YES Symphonic. Which you also Must watch ❤

[@gannon5409]

I’m lucky I got to see them several times live 😊

[@markoliver630]

Yes is a class A band. They are capable of playing ANYTHING. Enjoy

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Fantastic Band!! YES YES YES ❤❤

[@DavidJones-lz4io]

I would love you to do a few live reactions from these wonderful musicians. ❤️❤️

[@YESFan1971]

Best band, ever. Period.

[@stanleymerritt4722]

My favoite band...for a bit over 50 years. They have LOTS of music that take you somewhere you've never been. Please listen and more reactions to YES. You would probably LOVE their song called AWAKEN. It's magical.

[@philsmith2444]

And The Remembering. Maybe the Yes song that requires the most from the listener (or The Ancient), but SO worth it when that crescendo hits!

[@PeregrineTravers]

You have now entered the Stargate of YES! As Jon Anderson says just what keeps us so alive, our home is our world, Homeworld.

[@Rowenband]

Well tou did 3 songs from them, now it's time to get to the monuments like Heart of the Sunrise, And You And I, Southside of the Sky… and if you think you are ready to the more complex go to Ritual, Sound Chaser, Close to The Edge, The Gates of Delirium, these are like classic pieces, like Beethoven or Stravinsky (with whom they opened their concerts back then).

[@scotstevens5263]

Great song. Put on your seatbelts, time to go outside of your mind and explore the world around you. Yes is soooooooo good to hear.

[@VernonOdom-jw4ko]

ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY TO THE WORLD OF YES

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

David Henderson, The Ladder and Magnification, there last 2 albums are quite wonderful.!!!!

[@ezed3902]

Honestly I have never heard this one. I listened to a lot the earlier Yes. I was 15 when roundabout came out. I had gotten away from them by the yearv2000. This is a masterpiece. Thanks guys for a wonderful reaction.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

I don’t know if you are still doing reactions, but as a huge Yes fan. and a BIG fan of “The Ladder”, thank you for this reaction. I love it, my favorite Yes song is “It Will Be a Good Day” because it actually affected my life, but Homeworld is fantastic, a great song. I’m really a BIG Close to the Edge guy, but this song is very close to their best. I’ve been a Yes fan since 1970 , actually before the Yes album , even though that album really changed everything for me. I hope you are still doing this. And BTW The Ladder is fantastic.

[@teowiz4210]

this song was also used in the soundtrack of a videogame called Homeworld (very good RTS)

[@allanmartin1005]

It’s YES. I think if I was to make up my top 20 tracks, this would be in it, Close to the Edge being number 1. I bought my copy of this at a concert, I still have the T shirt, doesn’t fit anymore, like so many, I shall never get rid of them.

[@fernandotor3266]

Beatiful

[@tomhill9445]

I love Steves guitar and Igors keys on this one

[@antoniocarlin5026]

You need react to YES live ...! With Chris Squire on bass!! ❤

[@markwitherspoon1416]

As a longtime Yes fan I would say this album is definitely under rated. You could say the same for Key Studio and Symphonic Yes. The live version of "In the Presence of" is really good. The entire Yes Album is great and you already heard Starship Trooper. I really enjoy your reactions and not just because your reacting to my favorite band. I hope to hear more so enjoy your journey.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

As Yes fan I bought the album, and had to buy the game too - I liked playing it though it was maybe more suited for younger gamers 🙂 But I loved the music, and the great Roger Dean cover of the album.

[@kld2493]

Went to see Yes in Liverpool on their last tour and they did the next track on the Ladder album It will be a good day- the River. Whilst only two members on the Ladder Album in the band remain they are carrying the mantle forward with great results. Jon Anderson is no longer in the band but that means he can produce extra great music. Double delight.

[@roydavis5222]

Wondrous Stories, Heart of The Sunrise, Siberia Khatru, South Side of the Sky........

[@willykruijntjens7172]

Wanna hear more of Jon's wonderful voice?? Listen to his albums with Vangelis (like Short stories or Private collection) or, less known but equally beautiful, a great song he made together with Kitaro: Island of Life (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnSci2Sjhr90nbcsi=8uNazNL9ciBCwJuD).

[@stevebryant6483]

Great suggestions.

[@sunsteels]

That's been the first prog song I listened, I loved it and I started being a prog fan 😂

[@lesimprosdulezardvert1342]

A great song by Yes, a classic now

[@1a2c]

Turn of the Century is a very emotional song by Yes.

[@teowiz4210]

this song is remarkable cause it gives you the impression that it's costantly rising in pitch and tone. just like climbing a ladder

[@frankmagazu3742]

check out yes talk whole album unbelievable!

[@PaulHilburger]

This song was originally written for a video game called Homeworld

[@EccentricAuntWanda1]

Yes was arguably best 1970-1980

[@DZibman]

Have you reviewed "Close to the Edge" or "The Revealing Science of God"? Two of their many extended epics. Yes is a visceral experience.

[@Yes_Jorge_Yes]

Yes, is the master of creating Masterpieces I highly recommend you react to Awaken, Gates of Delirium, Turn of the Century and In the presence of.

[@bobw54]

You are correct that this is a somewhat over looked song but a beautiful song none the less.I have seen yes over 100 times and still listen almost every day never getting tired.I thought your wife was going to cry at one point. Yes music is very emotional and beautiful on certain songs this being one. Try Awaken and you will have the same reaction.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

Stanleymerritt…..absolutely.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

That should be done Awaken.

[@mnomadvfx]

Wow, don't think I've ever seen a reactor do a Yes track so far from their heyday in the 70s.

[@kevinlese633]

This is top four favorite album

[@DonStratton-cn9rj]

The game is beautiful but challenging.

[@markhoward2811]

The only album where Russian born Igor Khoroshev played the full album on Keyboards. He left soon after due to some misdemeanors he committed during this live tour.

[@JakeSmith-jo8gc]

You are ready for Close to the Edge. I see you’ve don Awaken.

[@garyrausch1184]

You need to experience the early YES, before getting into this later stuff. I definitely prefer the early YES

[@davexvs]

the game is as awesome as the track

[@fernandotor3266]

Check live version..think house of blues concert

[@philsmith2444]

And people say prog had no feeling, no soul.

[@toddc28]

Thank you for this beautiful song. Many Yes fans put down their late 90’s output. But I enjoy both The Ladder and Open Your Eyes. I do have difficulty getting into the last 3 or so albums without Jon. Davidson is ok. But musically they just don’t have it. Howe’s and Downes just don’t have the same enthusiasm they once had. And without Chris I have little interest. But perhaps I should give those recordings one more chance.

[@scottrbloom]

If you get a chance at some venue near enough to you you should go see Jon Anderson doing Yes Epics and Classics backed up by The Band Geeks. These guys cover Yes better than anyone and Jon Anderson picked them to back him up because they play the songs the way they were written to be played. You can look them up on KZbin also, they're some of the best musicians on the planet covering damn near everyone. I caught them on their first tour in Baltimore and they were phenomenal.

[@johng.8517]

You're just getting started with YES. Keep the YES reactions coming. How about "Awaken" next? Here's a great live version of "Awaken": kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHW7lJaLZd2ahNE

[@TheAmazingSpaghetti]

Great album and tour, though actually this isn't one of my faves from the album. My faves on this are It Will Be A Good Day, If Only You knew, and Nine Voices.

[@glauciodon.campelo8967]

It Will Be a Good Day (The River) is a wonderful song. Almost poppy, but extremely positive and adorable to listen to. The backing vocals (guided by our dear Chris - RIP, together with Billy Sherwood) really shine through the song, especially on the House of Blues live version.

[@stevebryant6483]

As much as I enjoy the "big sound" of YES, I am much more of a fan of the singer, Jon Anderson. When the music is a simple piano or guitar melody his voice has much more of an impact, That is why I prefer his works away from Yes. He has many great solo albums and collaborations with legends like Vangelis, a fantastic film composer.

[@michaelbeerbados3291]

As a HUGE Yes fan, this song isn't in my top 40 YES songs. So you have a lot of good stuff to get into.

[@michaelbeerbados3291]

Even this latter "pop style" YES is better than so much crap out there. As long as Jon Anderson is there !!
