Yes - Our Song

Yes are an English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968 and generally regarded as one of the archetypal bands of the genre. Despite a great many lineup changes, occasional splits within the group and the ever-changing trends in popular music, the band has continued on for over forty years and still retains a large following. The band's music blends symphonic and other 'classical' structures with their own brand of rock music, which is marked by sharp dynamic contrasts, extended song lengths, abstract lyrics, and a general showcasing of instrumental prowess. Although the band's sole consistent member has been bass player Chris Squire (noted for his highly melodic and discursive playing as well as his early use of electronic effects), Yes is also generally noted for the distinctive high-register vocals of lead singer Jon Anderson and the eclectic musical stylings of a succession of guitarists (Peter Banks, Steve Howe, Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood), keyboard players (Tony Kaye, Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz, Geoff Downes, Igor Khoroshev) and drummers (Bill Bruford and Alan White). Several band members became celebrated musicians and/or bandleaders in their own right, and a 1980 lineup of the band was briefly fronted by future production star Trevor Horn.

Toledo was just another good stop
Along the good king's highway
My fortification took me by surprise
And hit me sending me sideways
Spellbound - Roundly - Good for sunshine
Can't help thinking

Singing the Rule Britannia
And this is where it grabs you
There's method in the key of C
Toledo's got to be the silver city
In this good country

Our song
It gives us a reason
Our song
That good remedy
Music has magic
That stuff of syncopation

Ever tried driving it to golden heights
Just simply jiving it
My mystification it got a
Jewel skies crazy spacing it
Hot sun - Crowded - Screams high voices
Singing speechless

Touching of the healing heart
So this is where we really start
Music is a shout of foregone conclusions
As long as music plays its part
Good good part

Our song
It gives us a reason
Our song
That good remedy
Music has magic
It's good clear syncopation

Treat it good
Treat it rightly
And if you get it flowing
The harmony is glowing
So get ready
So get ready
Don't go toledo toledo don't go
Music - Good to you
Music - Good to you

All the album is GREAT!!!!!! I started with Yes when i was a little Girl, 5 or 6 maybe.

@SUMAKKAWSAY They also came last year to Argentina, it was AWESOME! Even though it's not exactly the same band, I really enjoyed it. Btw: I'm a 17 years old boy and i can't believe why people listen to the crap music from now... but there's still hope.

Yes es la Mejor Banda, es ejemplar porque sus canciones tan llenas de vida Transmiten algo muy Especial muy Bonito y muy Unico.

Se que existen Quienes Piensan lo Mismo.

YES fue el primer grupo inglés que vino a Argentina despues de la guerra de Malvinas (1982) pese a las amenazas de bombas y otros desmanes que algunos iban a hacer, esto hizo desistir a Kiss, por ejemplo, que estaba próximo a venir; finalmente nada de eso ocurrió y YES´dió tres conciertos apoteósicos en Velez.. Esto demuestra que la MUSICA está más allá de la política, guerras, u otros intereses de algunos pocos.

May god be with all of you... I was in the Army in Germany when this album came out... This song is dedicated to all my friends in Ecuador that I love so much.. The hummingbirds, Butterflies, Chocolate factories, zip lines... and this our Song
