All one has to do is read Jon's history to know he has been on the journey, culminating to what i can see as being Jesus is the prophet of all..and the Son..but other's are synced in as well in the eastern culture..but not Thee One of ones. Buddha says, I seek truth , I see the way. Jesus said, "I am the Truth, the Way, and the life (Light). It is not so important to agree on this idea really, as much as each is on this path..of many journey's. Source of Inspiration. The Link..the key.
One of the better songs from Magnification. Some of the songs run into each other in 2's or 3's, so it's difficult to separate for promo purposes without fade in/out editing. This song and some others on the album are uneven in spots, which may have exacerbated the low #186 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart. (Note: It fared better on the Classical Crossover chart, peaking at #7.)
YES-In the Presence Of, lyrics: 9-11-01, eerie words, but a beautiful song Turn around and remember that When it gets so low As you finally hit the ground Turn around and remember that Now I’m standing tall Standing on my sacred ground Turn around and remember that When it gets so low As you finally hit the ground Turn around and remember that Now you’re standing tall Standing on sacred ground Standing on sacred ground Standing on sacred ground
I truly do believe that we will have lasting peace one day. God will judge everyone according to justice and he will establish his kingdom of peace. But when judgement day comes what if we will be the judged? So let's believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and seek for his grace. Then let's work to build a culture of mercy, understanding, forgiveness and truth. Sorry for the pathos. :) I just think this is important.
@Moshugaani I LOVE what you wrote, because I LOVE JESUS. Jon's music has led me to god once, I went astray and fell hard...and now back I know not only GOD with more understanindg, but also Jesus. Jon's spiritual journey can easily be tracked going back to the beginning up to "Just One Man"..there is no doubt. Check out Requiem, Mozart...;-).....the lyrics on that (Wiki)....Jon totally adores Mozart per an interview on Youtube...just saw it the other day.
WHAT!a provocative mash-up 0'another prophetic YES lyric. BlssU YesT, 4bringing out the relationship. 'Tho YES are heart+center 38 years (since 'Roundabout' truthed my relationship to history &incarnation) I never saw a NYC/911 connect. How do they do it? MAGNIFICATION_IS_YES @their subtle best. LA's show w/The "Hllywd Bowl Orchstra" was close to the godhead integration of the RELAYER tour- 1978, Hwd.Bowl- an epic journey- How do they do it? 200,000 sold? Bless them who are Still 2Hear!!
I was up at 9am on 9/11 and was at the computer looking for details on where to purchase the new YES album "magnification"...( I have been following my favorite band for 40 years) as I also knew that 9/11 was the release date. Over my shoulder the TV was on and while I was on the YES website...I heard/saw the impact of the first plane. YES and 9/11 have always been linked for me because of this.
I found this album absolutely shocking! Came out in 01 or 02...I found it at FYE for $2 a couple years back. I thought it would suck, considering when it came out, and what I paid. This is easily one of the better YES albums. I love it! a couple of songs make the top 10 YES songs in my opinion.This is one, esp. after watching this vid!
I saw them the weekend just before 9/11 at Jones Beach in NY. Got to meet and talk with Chris and Alan backstage after the show. It was a wonderful concert and featured Magnification, In the Presence Of, and, of all things, Gates of Delirium.
Four days later I watched the towers collapse from a hospital window about two miles north of what has become known as Ground Zero. It was a moment I will never forget, or forgive.
Chilling that this was written on release date of 11th September 2001 which is also my birthday!!!! As a Yes fan I was eagerly waiting the release of this album. As I was working I had to wait till the weekend to purchase this album. On another note it is amazing this album only sold 200,000 world wide!!! It is an astounding album please check it out. Healing energy to all those that lost relatives in 9/11.
I can't believe I get the first comment. Thanks so much for this, lest we all become complacent, even though we remember. Whatever your religious and political views or social status, its our responsibility as human beings to work with whatever personal power we have for peace and justice in this world, however simple and the least it may be. I, too, wish everyone who views this pure love, light, peace and courage. Shalom
By whatever means though, the insanity has to end.

Jon's lyrics are so full of poignency and meaning, but this is really prophetic and chilling that the album was released the very same day.
I had already associated Gates of Delirium with events such as Tienanmin Square, but this one is really quite amazing.

Great video compilation matched with a great song. I am still horrified by 9/11. Remain vigilant.
