Beautiful video! This song has very special meaning for me. I went on a trip to Maine in 2002 and it was the most magical trip ever! On the ride home, I was listening to this song and now whenever I listen to it, I instantly think of Maine. This song just has so much beautiful energy to it. Yes RULES! I can't wait to see them live again.
I have every Yes album up to Tormado, might get this one. I have a lot of Jon's solo stuff but find I like his lyrics better the less I understand them. Since the mid 80s he changed the way he wrote lyrics, he used to use a word because he like the sound of it, now he actually has a point, I find it less interesting. Sunhillow was his best and most intimate album, although I liked Animation a lot.
@starkcreative That is really a very insightful way of looking at JA's lyrics. I actually look at it just the opposite (but I do appreciate your perspective). I lived thru the 70's epics and still everytime I listen to them I hear things I didn't hear before. Those songs were threaded together lyrically ...one after another...and that continues even to this day. His new material...I think... reaches new heights. Please listen to Change We Must...The Promise Ring or the very new JA/Wakeman...
I remember that of all the songs from the Ladder album that were played live on the 1999 tour, this one benefited most from live performance. It sounded DRAMATICALLY better live compared to the studio version. The DVD from Las Vegas that shows this tune being performed live doesn't really do it justice.
I tried just leaving <3's and XX OO (So words did not destroy the beauty of this vids magical enchantment and the damn thing did not post. Duh. So Jarda hear my words, "I Love you my Dear Guru of awakening". :-) This is truly most beautiful. My heart is chilling inside and refreshing my hot body with Joy. :-)
Excellent choice of images and song. The Ladder brought back a lot that was missing in YES' music for a long time! The harmonic vocals, the ethereal soundscapes of the synths and the simple yet powerful guitar riffs, both bass and six string! Yes brought it back with this album!
@infinity4432 I think they lost it at Union and only occasionally have gotten it back since, like with Mind Driver for example. The last entire Yes album I really loved was Anderson Bruford Wakeman And Howe
Nice job with the images, hiroko. I don't understand why this song wasn't more of a commercial hit. It sounds like they wrote it for that purpose. Even so, it is one of my favs, along with To Be Alive (Hep Yadda), from The Ladder.
Need to listen to this every day. It will be a good day.
