It's called Yes cuz that's how history has turned out. Squire, White, Rabin and (some) Kaye recorded tunes calling themselves Cinema, and shopped them around, to only some interest. Anderson and Squire conversed one day, demos were played, and JA got involved by re-recording vocals, adding a bit here and there, and a couple new tunes. They then decided to call it Yes again. Songs like this and Make It Easy are from the Cinema time, ca. 1982, and simply not developed with Anderson.
While I will agree on a few things, What is Yes is Chris Squire owned, period. Just because someone else sings, Rabin, Anderson, Horn, whoever, it is still Yes Owned. How you make into Yes is another story :) I'm the 70-80's yes guy myself, but all to their own...
@ifixmixers Chris Squier is on ALL albums. So in fact Yes is not Yes without him. But even if there would be at least one Yes member, it would be Yes.
@ifixmixers - Actually, the new Yes album, "Fly From Here," also doesn't have Jon Anderson on it, either. But I agree: without Jon Anderson, it can still be Yes. "Drama" rules.
@ifixmixers Wrong-Anderson does not sing on Fly From Here as well. Beniot is the lead singer for Yes at the present time. The only consistent person in the Yes line up from the very start to the present is Chris Squire.
Thanks for sharing this! This should have been released on the original version of "90125". What a gem. Trevor's gorgeous vocals & soaring guitar, and his amazing songcraft & musicianship just make this song. I also think the "purist" Yes fans might be very interested in the authentic prog. structures, rhythms and chords & immense keys arrangement of this song..they would just love this.
If a band changes members more often than its underwear how can they be the same band by name ??????????????????????????
