In truth, one of my least favorite YES tracks. I was big with their progressive 1970s works. Second concert I ever saw was on their "Tourmato" tour (Led Zep was 1st). When this came out around 1984 it seemed more of a pop track or at least basically structured in contrast to their previous works. Kind of a cool sound, but more commercial than I was used to. being more pop-styled, naturally it was more popular with the masses. I'm more of a "Perpetual Change", "Awaken" or "Gates Of Delirium" kind of YES fan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2rJloZ9bbpoe7M Whatever is up, let the music play! Peace to all!

Wow. As a older Black man...Im amazed. Its good to see a brother into this music. In the 70s and 80s, I got chastized and ostracized in my hood for listening to Yes, ELP and Zappa and other Prog/Fusion music. Brothers hated the philosophy in it, and Sistas complained you cant dance to it, because they kept changing the beat. But I kept listening. Still listening. Great video.

Trevor Horn (former bassist and singer for The Buggles: Video Killed The Radio Star) was the producer and largely responsible for the way this song turned out. He had to do a lot of arguing and convincing of the musicians involved to use samples, programming, tight drum sound and a more "tech" approach. The guitar solo was recorded, then cut into samples, then the samples were patched together over the solo track. Horn was a genius.

I was getting stress to the point that it was physically painful between COVID-19 keeping everyone socially isolated and the twin hate-filled echo chambers that most of my friends were inhabiting on social media (I have large numbers of friends in both major political parties). When I would remind myself to be humble, be kind, and just be a good human, spreading peace, joy, and love, it was the only time I could decompress and it became something of a mantra to me.

If you like acapella, listen to Yes' "Leave It!" None of the band members liked the drum sound the producer was getting, so they sang it to him! Ultimately everyone decided that what they had recorded could not be beat. The engineer sweetened it up hear and there and what he delivered is "Leave It!"

The secret weapon behind the resurgence of Yes was the addition of South African guitarist and composer Trevor Rabin. The man is brilliant. He started out with 70’s rock group Rabbitt... here’s a link to their version of Jethto Tull’s Locomotive Breath: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5W5ioOwhJ6bi7M

Jon Anderson has that voice, what a voice!!! YES is a beautiful group, all their songs are filled with esoteric wisdom, imagine being a teenager and listening to this!! (I did and was!!) and then watching them LIVE in the Civic Arena, in Pittsburgh, Pa...what a concert, think it was 1973 or 1972 but either way, unforgettable!!! Love them to this day!! Lyrics are insanely inspirational!! Jamel, you are so cool! Keep up the great work, telling the world about all this groovy and great music!!! xx :-)
