The fantastic YES. 🎧🎶. Musical acrobats

[@samuelfarro4759]

The original plan was to be a completely different band called Cinema, which was meant to be both progressive and more commercial. Trevor Rabin, the guitarist, was supposed to do vocals, but they felt something was missing, and called in Jon Anderson to help. At which point they realized they'd basically recreated Yes, so why not just call it that

[@LearnToRefine]

Can a kid do these effects at home on editing software these days? Probably. But were these amazing and creative effects for the early 80's? YES!! And the harmonies were fantastic!

[@JoinTheProgress]

But those kids...cannot do ANY of *those harmonies* today. Hence auto-tune.

[@kennethmacrae]

Yes re-invented themselves in 1983 as a slick pop-rock band with the single Owner of a Lonely Heart astonishingly a No.1 hit on the Billboard Charts...Leave It is from the same Album. Jon Anderson, the Lead Singer and main songwriter, had only a limited involvement in this project and most Yes fans prefer their earlier stuff. He is usually responsible for the inspiring but incomprehensible lyrics though not on this track. I particularly enjoy your baffled but appreciative reactions to Yes...even for fans, their music usually needs a few listens. I would recommend Turn of the Century...it's a beautiful song with a story told in the lyrics...I think you would love it.

[@waynestumbo2408]

Changes is a groove too

[@stevetemple8826]

The early stuff is the best. I grew up on that back in the 70's.

[@reno145]

Yeah, a lot of act that were big in the 70's were like fish out of water in the 80's.

[@bdmention]

There's an a'cappella version that's incredible...especially when listening on headphones.

[@c.s.p.schofield2202]

The a’capella version makes it clear that the song is about using voices as musical instruments.

[@charlesveltem6109]

This was an incredibly popular record for them. Almost like a comeback for them of sorts. They had been sort of dormant the few years before it. And this was a slightly reconfigured version of the group. Gave them new life again. More then a few good songs off this album !

[@andrewstolpman6743]

YES. Incomparable! A unique sound all their own that will never be duplicated. Pioneers!

[@LeChaunce]

Back when this song was first getting airplay on MTV, there were variant videos of this -- in one, for instance, the whole video had them spinning around; in another, they just had the stretchy bits; a third just had the heads rotating. This was the final composite version of all the various effects the other videos focused on exclusively, and the only one MTV showed from that point on.

[@LeChaunce]

After looking it up, it turns out there were *18* different versions. The official one was the 11th version.

[@hellokimie]

One April fools day, they played all the versions all day long...

[@jasonwilliams6005]

One of the best 80's albums. Great from start to finish.

[@chrism70kc]

"owner of a lonely heart" would be a good one

[@owenthackeray4195]

I saw them in concert in 1991 at Wembley arena.Amazing band All master musicians.

[@ontherun9510]

Hi K.S.O., I suggest you a hidden gem from them : ''Turn of the Century''. You can also listen to ''And You And I'' . Both are great!

[@Itelkner]

Please react to all the other songs on Yes's 90215 album, too. They're all gems.

[@rubbersole79]

This is a great album. The drums alone on it are worth the price of admission. Especially on "Changes".

[@mikecaetano]

I think this song is about the loneliness of going on the road -- "Another town and one more show" -- "Downtown they're giving away" free tickets to the concert -- "But she never came back" to pick hers up. Saying goodbye to the girlfriend back home -- "No phone can take your place" and saying goodbye to the days of chasing groupies -- "We have the same intrigue As a court of kings -- Ah... leave it". "MacArthur Park in the driving snow" -- MacArthur Park is one of the oldest parks in Los Angeles and the name of a massive hit for Donna Summer in the fall of 1978. It never snows in L.A., so I think they were listening to the song on the radio during a snow storm. "Uptown they're digging it out" from the snow. "Better lay your claim" -- double entendre aside, pick up your bags at the airport! "Get home you're not alone" -- wife and kids maybe -- "You just broke out of the danger zone" -- the temptations of life on the road.

[@johnnypickens1333]

Welcome to prog rock. A lot of times it's about time and tempo changes,and getting it all to work harmoniously

[@marcgus25]

Please do Turn of the Century off the Going for the One Album! I promise you that you will truly love this song! It is one of the most beautiful songs ever made!

[@keriford54]

I second this.

[@crimglory]

Great song,they do an awesome A Cappella version of it

[@byronmitchell3784]

YES ... TOP 5 FAVORITE BANDS OF ALL TIME. FROM THE EARLY 70'S THRU THE MID TOO LATE 80'S... NEXT SONG "AIM HIGH, SHOOT LOW"....K.S.O. YOU ARE UNDERSTANDING 🤩✌

[@charlesveltem6109]

Changes and Victim of Love off the same album worth checking out !

[@markjacobsen8335]

*City Of Love, you mean. "Victim Of Love" is an Eagles song.

[@billseely991]

Yes was a ever evolving band..always ready for new sounds..new styles and new talent. Trevir Rabin really impressed the older members of Yes on this album , really imprinting his own vision with their experienced help. I really loved it in 1983..my high school senior year!

[@jorgemarquez5314]

I think it is the best explanation I have ever heard !!! Yes Phenomenal

[@careyvinzant]

"YES does what YES wants." Perfect description.

[@thelyricologist9568]

If you want a quiet, lyrical song by Yes with comprehensible, beautiful lyrics, do by all means listen to their "Onward" (written by bassist Chris Squire). :-)

[@anthonyblakely399]

OMG!!! You are in Love with YES!!!!!

[@anthonyblakely399]

I had to say something sweeties!!! Hahaha...lol...hahaha...

[@krisdoggett483]

They made 17 different versions of this video and played them all in one day on MTV... ah the memories

[@filetknife5916]

If you are looking for Yes songs with a little meaning, try "Sweetness" which is off of their first album or "Time and a Word" off of their second Either that, or just jam out to "Yours is no Disgrace" or "Heart of the Sunrise"!

[@warrenkost8023]

Thanks for doing a video over Yes! I’m a huge fan, I’m a musician, and I grew up on this song is one my favorites, to me the writing was always about music and how they felt in the creative process, music is their shelter, and as a musician, the business side of things are come and go, but music is always there and the Musician will play everyday, no need for money, or a crowd to bring a musician to the yielding of their instrument, it’s now a measure of how willing you are to work with everything else.

[@majorphoto]

so much to say... this recording was groundbreaking. Saw them live on this tour, their new music was good then but the old was better. 90215 was also the catalog number

[@Kosh2112]

Try “Love will Find a Way” it’s great and not as bizarre for people new to Yes! Also the Guitarist Trevor Rabin is very famous composer for film. He wrote the music for Remember the Titans which was also played at Obama’s Election night.

[@anthonyblakely399]

LMAO!!!! Hahahahaha...lol....hahaha....You are just going OFF on YES....hahahaha......cracken me up......Hahahaha.....Yes have always talk about our Cosmic journey from this life into Heaven!!! That's all it is.......in "Fragile," We have Heaven...LMAO!!!!

[@brokencage9723]

This was one of the first concerts I ever went to see.

[@ChiconDent]

On the Run suggested Turn of the Century and And You and I... I highly agree. Both are beautiful. Turn's lyrics are straightforward (yes, you read right!). And You and I more typical Yes lyrics, but it is one of the most beautiful if not most beautiful rock song ever created. Trust us on this. You will not be disappointed.

[@JoinTheProgress]

Yes is my favorite band, but I've only rarely watched reaction vids to them since this trend started a while back. Your reaction *will* go down as "THE" best reaction that has ever, and will ever, exist to Yes..."Yes does whatever Yes wants." And you're only three songs in?...welp...YOU NAILED IT! LOL! That is indeed exactly what they've always done and why I love them. Cheers!

[@michaelmontgomery8424]

Please Please 🙏 do changes by YES.

[@jaimesk1688]

Yes was an album-oriented pseudo-psychedelic band of extreme talent in its early years. If you wen't into tripping you could trip out listening to them. Songs would go whole album sides sometimes. This is much later. To understand this, consider post-modern art...in trying to put the pieces together you make your own story. It is clearly made of pieces of stories, but when the plot breaks for you, your mind can make up the glue, the missing pieces. Just make up a scene to explain each cut-out of sense (slowly at first), and you will make a story. Next time...maybe a different story. It is a mind probe. Earlier Yes did have a lot of made-up realities in it, maybe a little more coherent, but not as daring with broken phrases. As always with Yes, it takes 2-3 listens before you discern patterns. Gates of Delirium is aptly named...makes this look like playing horse-shoes. Close to The Edge is a bit more coherent and shoes monstrous talent. I guess I always thought of this as an art-piece. It's hard to make post-mod art with poetry. They are just noodling here, but it's very interesting.....the little head-games never went away.

[@splashofun]

Sooo Funny! This was a fall out of my seat funny reaction! God Bless You Miss Lovely One!

[@melvinwomack3717]

You've become a prog scholar and you just don't know it😏

[@rayphelps2129]

90125 was a change in direction for them. Not a bad song on the album. As well as "Leave It", there is it's precursor instrumental "Cinema", the mega hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and my favorite off the album "It Can Happen"

[@sstritmatter2158]

Iconic 80's - wonderful time. To me, this specific song is about busting out of the daily grind, particularly from the band's point of view. This song does have order, it just has sharp changes and uses metrical/rhythmic disonance in the chorus, which is difficult to do and wonderful when it works, and to me they did this excellently. The band Traffic does this, too in some songs (Low Spark of High Heeled Boys). Brahms is noted for it in classical. It's brilliant and adds much to an otherwise okay song.

[@RoryVanucchi]

Great musicians. Like most I prefer the early stuff

[@LearnToRefine]

My favorite song on this album is "Changes". It has a good mix of 70's YES and 80's YES.

[@RoryVanucchi]

@@LearnToRefine I like Rounabout and Fragile.

[@dougnelsin1480]

This is awesome, thank you for sharing. This was a great album and i would love to see you react to Changes from the same album. It has a great edge to it.

[@chrisgraham9203]

Ahh, Yes.

[@bklyncosanostra]

some of stuff on 9015 was absolutely incredible

[@SupernalOne]

the video is a distraction, the song's the thing -- hence the opening lyrics: "I can feel no sense of measure, no illusions, as we take refuge in young man's pleasure, breaking down the dreams we made real" -- he's broken up with his woman, and trying to get back on his feet emotionally, but the whole process is a painful self-enlightenment of what love was and what independence must be

[@markjacobsen8335]

I think there were 17 different edits of the video back then that MTV would play. This one was probably the most popular. As for Yes lyrics, you are not supposed to read them as prose. They usually use words to give imagery, almost like hieroglyphics, and then you extract a meaning from that imagery. It's pretty open ended and they leave it (no pun intended) to you to apply it how you will. Another thing about Yes lyrics is that Jon Anderson would often just pick words for their own sound within the music. In other words, he would use words as an instrument in and of themselves. He has even stated that he only found out years later what some of his songs meant. It's really brilliant in its own way.

[@glennawhiteman742]

This album came out at the birth of MTV! I think alot of artist were scrambling to come up with different ideas for their music videos! Lol

[@captainharris8980]

7:30 the song is supposed to describe a rock concert tour. MacArthur Park is a famous venue in the UK (I think London area). Leave it describes leaving behind a performance regardless of its quality. No phone can take your place describes being apart from family and loved ones.

[@159awi]

Given up trying to understand the lyrics. Ha! A lot of people feel that way with Yes. Loved your reaction!

[@miskelproducts41]

I'm baffled how people can never have heard of songs like this???

[@tonygrinney7115]

LOL no translation required the key writers Trevor Rabin and Jon Anderson are both native English speakers. Jon's words often don't make sense he says that he is into the poetry of words rather than the meaning of the words. However this was, I believe written by Trevor Rabin because the song and lyrics were completed before Jon Anderson rejoined Yes. My interpretation of the song and I'm only guessing here, is about a band on tour, the "leave it" is leaving one city to play at the next.Although playing live is what bands live for, the record company pack in such an intense programme that the band get no time for themselves "Another town and one more show". When they are not travelling to the next town, they are doing interviews, signings for the public etc. I can feel no sense of measure No illusions as we take Refuge in young man's pleasure Breaking down the dreams we make real I intrepret that to mean, for many a young man the dream is to play in a famous band and play live to large audiences. This would be the "young man's pleasure" however, the reality is somewhat different, rushing from place to place, endless interviews, soundchecks, crashing out in the early hours, then getting up with little sleep onto the next gig on tour.

[@jimdartouzos2127]

Awesome reaction...to an Awesome song by Yes

[@Lionize728]

This entire album is brilliant! Please do more.

[@Wizardboots]

Yes does what Yes wants. Yes.

[@LawSuth]

When this video came out, there were multiple iterations of it; all about the same as this, but with each one having slightly different tweaks on what was happening with the graphics (heads spinning around, etc.).

[@chrisb9489]

Fantastic choice. Love your energy!

[@larryconcepts]

Don't sweat about the lyrics. Mostly (from what I understand) they're just put together to sound good. Studio out-take tracks reveal the singer doing run-throughs with doo-doo-dah dah sounds to get the musical phrasing first, and the words are draped over the composition. Their words and imagery are collages of phrases from inspirational literature or abstracted concepts. The parts don't always follow a straight ahead story or narrative, but what each line evokes accumulates into a semi-mystical poetic scrapbook collage. Their musical ambition originally was to push the boundaries of musicianship. The words have musicality in their structure - like "soon" You might consider their track of the same name, to see how vocalizing these words propels the melody and the performance. Of course every song is different, and they began their career doing cover versions of Beatles, Paul Simon, and such. Their early original material included many with standard verse chorus and narrative song structure. They sang about soldiers going off to war and back, romantic love ballads, tinged with flavors of fading psychedelic ditties. (First 2 albums) Then in the early '70s a harvest of young artists, (many of them fresh from art colleges) in a Beatles conquered world of expanded creativity, formed dozens of Progressive bands and flooded the music world with extreme compositions under extreme virtuoso musicianship. And of course this artsy energy collided with expanding technology and new instruments like synthesizers. Yes was one of the leading bands in the quest for artistic perfection. Yes's singer, Jon Anderson, once said his goal was to finish the performance and get no cheering back, but a stunned silence from the audience. When punk rock emerged the Prog bands rapidly retreated to standard pop formats to stay commercially viable. Some, like Yes had a reasonable success with this 'selling out' strategy. The one you played today was from their most commercially successful disc, which some die-hard Yes fans consider a low point in their career. Yet it was quite popular. As the band aged, they attempted to undo some of their surrender to normalcy, and produced a few more mind-benders as they dwindled as a unit. Yes, you're right, becoming familiar with a sound is a key issue. Pop songs that are straight forward and directly accessible can be easy to swallow immediately, all at once, yet later sound dull and repetitive. If there's nothing substantial in it, the song has only nostalgic value (indulging memory of who you were when it was a hit). What carries these simpler styles is often the force of personality of the performer. Without continually cranking out new product, soon something else comes along, and so on. Some of the Yes stuff takes a bit of chewing over, such as hearing the same song in context of the whole album, where it doesn't stick out like a jagged cut-out, where the listener is given a balance and setting. Also each time you listen to the same piece you can hear different combinations of lines, rhythms and harmonies, counterpoint and polyphony and abstract compositional structures. It is a struggle between repetition and variation. So the best challenging pieces are always fresh but also more and more familiar. In recent years Prog-rock sensibilities are finding traction again, and more diverse audiences are finding something in the genre that is appealing to their sense of excellence and awe at brilliantly executed music. There will always be Jazz fans, the form appeals to great musicians and aficionados, and new material is irrepressible. The same is true for this genre of music. The challenge for any band to include something like Roundabout in their dance set is tempting, but far more likely is Owner of a Lonely Heart from the sellout album todays video is from. Commercial success is not a barrier for me, its one of my favorite albums. When it came out, I put on the headphones, dimmed the light and lay back on the couch. When it got to the end I felt mentally stronger, more positive, more oriented to acknowledge my inner universal agreement of existence - yes! The more times I heard it, the more I flew along with the sudden changes and complex patterns, my concentration exalted in the complexities I could follow, and the only limit being the degree of my openness. It all depends on what you want from your music. If you're heartsick and lonely, listen to Joni Mitchell and she washes you in it. But Yes's prog-pop just says "Chin up! What are you waiting for? Hey listen to this!" When you want to strap in for a challenging ride Yes usually delivers.

[@1nelsondj]

Try listening to their early song 'I've Seen All Good People'. It was a single and got some airplay back in the early '70s, more accessible than their later music.

[@markjacobsen8335]

She did that one a month or two ago.

[@rhubarb_runner]

You've pretty much nailed it -- most Yes lyrics are sound paintings, and the words play around with ideas but don't (necessarily) have a solid meaning.

[@atm3637]

That video was insane but I like it 😂

[@johng.8517]

Their lyrics in some of their songs are akin to a painting by Picasso. Though there is meaning to some of their songs. Try "Turn of the Century".

By jove, I think she's got it! No road map.

Two different members, but hard to believe that the same band who did "The Gates Of Delirium" would put out this rubbish. But that was the 80s - think you should go back to the 70s and do "Close To The Edge".

[@bryanhale5254]

Hi honey bun yeah this song is more like 80s pop but it has some really good harmonies excellent chords and there's a lot more production going on you know that long distance runaround you should do another reaction but what you want to do maybe is there's a little song before it gets a little instrumental it's not even a minute long I don't think and then it goes into long distance runaround and then from there it goes into another song so you want to listen to those three songs together at once and then maybe you'll get the music a little bit more because of the segues it's like Pink Floyd C one song goes into the other that's why you freaked out when it will head that abrupt ending because both the songs go together and then they just edited that one part and it was really harsh I didn't really make sense now there is a song where the lyrics you would probably be able to get a grasp and I know exactly what you mean I had a friend who said that he just writes stuff to look pretty it doesn't mean anything really I wasn't sure that but there it is but if you do the song Owner of a Lonely Heart I think you will really relate to that one and then maybe later on you can go down the rabbit hole and listen to close to the edge, all right honey bun I'm out of here I'll cover some more ideas after I do some more research
