One of my favorite deep cuts from the Yes collection. The test of their enduring greatness is the ability to still create goosebumps 50 years later!

This song gives me goosebumps at the very end when they are singing words that are not on the lyric sheet in the album. This ending is the best way to end the greatest concept album in all music history.

Chris Squire's bass playing too .- moving here from gentle Bossa Nova-like marking of the rhythm to heavy outbursts, clouds of thunder...but without ever losing the precision of his sound. Though I would agree that if there is one member of the band that leps to the ear on thsi album it's Steve Howe - he as given a great deal of extra space because they began rehearsing and recording without having any keyboardist on board, and he rose to the occasion! He truly invented a whole new vocabulary for his guitar on this one album. :)

Hey Scot! TBO is literally one of my favorite Yes songs but would never expect a reaction out of it, I had no clue what was happening until I heard this at least six times .🤣..then Howe's little solo in the middle grabbed me forever.🤙🗽

Your feeling of closing your eyes and just letting the track carry you wherever is such a perfect comment for this track -- exactly how it was meant to be listened to!! Also your comment on how this track is so deceptively simple even tho there is so much happening - like Steve Howe on guitar playing fast and furious as if it was a metal track and yet it flows so beautifully thru the track. (another Reactioner calls him Cowboy Steve - and in this track it really applies) Yes are masters of transitions, no one can do it like they did, and the sounds they use are astounding. This is such a beautiful and marvellous song! -- from a mind expanding album!!. I hope that you re-listen to the Yes tracks you've reacted to because as you said, each subsequent listen you pick out something new - their music keeps on giving and giving... Thanks for this fine reaction.

I heard a recent interview with Rick Wakeman, who didn’t play on this album, but understands 1st hand how YES creates masterpieces, that they experimented so much (paraphrasing) that they would capture a “performance” which was so unique and spectacular that the other band members they would demand it go in the final cut. The final result after many trials and OCD studio editing has produced these undeniable masterpieces. Then they had to go back and relearn there performances to be able to recreate it live. Genius approach to creating eternal music in my opinion. Bless You. DW

Yes has always been to me, classical music, written and performed on the instruments of the time. As a young musician, learning classical music from inside the orchestra, I loved the complexities of their music. Those beautiful vocals are Jon and bassist Chris Squire. Their harmonies were so tight. You can hear Chris when he sings different lines then Jon. I know Dominika, who loves melodies, noticed that the melody at the end, was the melody formed at the start of the song. Thanks for your reaction to this video. I love listening to your interpretations. ☮💛🎶

A lot of Yes music has the ebb and flow of a conversation with periods of calm and then excitement (and vice versa), plus interjections and ruminations from each of the participants. It doesn't always follow simple, repetitive rhythms and riffs like much modern computerised music, but it does have a shape and a direction that takes you on a journey. In this way it has more in common with symphonic, orchestral composition than straightforward pop or rock.

YES = a transcendental experience, a journey into the 5th dimension. When musical complexity touches the sublime. That in the same band, each musician is an exceptional virtuoso of his instrument, that is an extraordinary case. And what about the ethereal voice and the almost mystical (illuminated) poetry of Jon Anderson? Result, YES = Unique, never equaled!

I love you two so much. I agree, some of Yes's music takes more time to work its way into your bloodstream, but when it finally does, just try to live without it. For me, it's like the ocean. I grew up in San Diego, and if I don't make regular trips to its rocky shores from this Utah desert, I get jittery. In my youth, most of Yes's music perplexed me, but over the years I've come to realize that the boys in that band are not just first rate musicians, they are first of all, storytellers, and they use music just as much - if not more - than words to tell their stories. One of my all-time favorite albums is their two-disc epic, Tales From Topographic Oceans. There are only four pieces of music, one for each side of the records. The longest piece comes at around 22 minutes, and the shortest at 18. It's nearly an hour and a half of pure bliss for me. (Your mileage may vary.) I am enjoying so very much joining you on your voyages of discovery. I think it would be a total blast to hang out with you in the den of my parents' house, and play all of my favorite songs by all of my favorite artists for you. Just thinking about it is giving me a great big grin. Which I've really needed today. Again, you are a delight to spend time with. Thank you for "being there" for us. Carry on!

Yes, I've known this one (and the entire album) since my early teenage years and didn't think of "To Be Over" as being about death and passing, but the lyrics of the final verse can certainly be read as metaphor for the soul of a loved one going to heaven, or some other new life: The video featured here, by the way, beautifully illustrates this in the final scenes, with the woman kneeling at a grave in an autumnal landscape, and then it segues over into a new picture of the same landscape: it is now spring and the soul rises up from the grave, walking away in peace. Also, this song is one of their finest recordings ever, a true masterpiece.

Most Yes music is best appreciated and understood after you listen to it a bunch of times. They usually play around a lot with contrasts throughout their songs, and that makes each section, especcially the build up and finish towards the end, so powerful and emotional. The first half of this song in isolation is not my favorite sound, but it works great to build up the song to the amazing 2nd half, especcially the last 3 minutes or so.

Harmony is the key as YES were founded to be a vocal group. Chris Squire the bass player had been in a Church Choir under Barry Rose who would become the choir master of Saint Paul's Cathedral in London. This was my first Yes record back in 1974 aged 14 and this was the calm after the storm of Sound Chaser which will put hairs on your chest

This is the closing track to their masterpiece, "Relayer." Only three tracks (including the epic "Gates of Delirium"), but all three are absolutely fantastic, and yet very different from each other. I get what you're saying, though, that they can be somewhat challenging for some listeners. Very rewarding if you stick with them, though.

While still rather complex, this composition is much more palatable then most of Yes's compositions. Now, the transition after the opening part of the singing is very unique, and not really abrupt as you mentioned, and the guitar solo simply cannot be ignored

I gotta tell you, as a hard core YES fan since 1972, I readily admit that the first time I heard most of YES' masterpieces, I came away not really understanding what I had just heard. I could remember parts that I really liked, enough for me to want to hear it again. And when I heard it again, I'd hear them again with a fuller appreciation, but also a few other things that I had missed the first time that were really great. Well actually, that happened a lot with YES' more complex creations. If I had an opportunity to focus on the song, I'd continue to notice instruments I hadn't noticed before when focusing on other instruments That's probably what I liked the most about YES music: it stayed 'fresher' longer, because of the complexity of composition. Usually with most popular music, you can remember the primary melody & maybe the repeated rhythm & the singer's contribution. But with YES, there's always "a lot going on." When the lead guitar & the bass are playing different melodies at the same time, for example, the first time you hear it you'll only notice one of them, but with repeated listenings you notice the other as well, and then both different melodies somehow complimenting each other in the overall output and that's the trigger for many YES eargasms I think you should stay with the simpler YES songs for a while. I'm going to recommend for you the first YES song on the first YES album: *Beyond & Before.* It's got harder & funkier sound, dominated by the bass & their trademark vocal harmonies, but it's simple enough in the traditional pop song format of a repeated primary melody. I think you'll really like it. A harder rocking sound like Led Zeppelin...with vocal harmonies

You have to listen to these complex songs many times and they grow on you. After a while you're like wow this song is fantastic. Even their lesser songs like this one. I never get tired of listening to them because it's complex and you get more out of it when you listen again and again. By the way YES music doesn't usually get blocked. So keep their songs coming. I suggest you do "Awaken" next. It takes you on an uplifting spiritual journey. Here's a great live version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHW7lJaLZd2ahNE Or you can do the studio version. It's amazing how close to the studio version the live version is of this song. Not easy to play it.

I'm interested how different today's reactions are to back in the day when these songs were all new like nothing before. I say this because back then any problem digesting this kind of music. I would say we were even blase about it. Just goes to show how musical perceptions and expectations have changed over the years. Personally, I think digital control and editing where anything can be made to sound ok has had it's adverse impact in what people today consider music (largely fake), and worst of all, shows that only seek to find the the next visually appealing money-spinning act. That said, glad you appreciate Yes's music, 50+ years old.

A bit of a challenge on first listen since it has many changes. The song needs to listened to several times with no other sensory input in order to get inside it. Your initial reaction is normal given the depth of such a classic yes song where the intro introduces several themes that then recur in the rest of the song.

Continue questioning Dominique, you have it in a nutshell in a world sometimes divided by division and hate humanity has much more in common than what divides us Music, Art, Literature, Film and Theater transgresses across all boundary's whether it be political, culture, or religion . “The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.” "Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice"
