Yes Lyrics

    ------ About the song I've Seen All Good People performed by Yes

I read some explanations of this song: It is an anti-war statement. It describes the Establishment's (denoted by the "Queen") efforts to pigeon-hole us, by using the media ("news") to get us focused on our own selves. Hence, "Take a straighter, stronger course to the CORNER of our lives"!

    ------ About the song Awaken performed by Yes

If you are a Yes fan you already know Awaken, considered by many to be the peak of artistic expression by this amazing group. If you are new to Yes, treat yourself to a musical experience that goes beyond 'hearing music'. Be sure you have some good speakers(or headsets), crank the volume and listen with your eyes closed. This is transformational music.

    ------ About the song Close To The Edge performed by Yes

Wow............these lyrics are so deep & genius! In my opinion is influenced by the REAL GOD who wanted no one to suffer & did not want earth to be hell for the son of God or any Jesus person who is persecuted for no reason! GOD BLESS YES!

    ------ About the song Close To The Edge performed by Yes

The members of Yes were (in my opinion) all incredibly gifted and talented artists. What they did is not simply rock & roll, it is music of the universe, transgending all musical form. I have been listening to them for over 30 yrs and am still amazed at their artistry and talent. Biased though I may be, I have yet to hear anyone who can compare with this kind of music with the possible exception of Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream. I thank them all for expanding my mind and showing that truly, imagination is more important than knowledge. Messers Anderson, Bruford,Squire and Howe you all have my respect and love, please keep on keeping on with the magic that you do!!! With great Love and Respect I offer you Peace and Blessings always. Sincerely, Brian Lee Hale

    ------ About the song And You And I performed by Yes

This YES song, along with many of their other classic songs, sounds as fresh today as it did back in the '70s! I mainly listen to Deep House music now, but I'll never forget these songs.

    ------ About the song And You And I performed by Yes

This is a long time favorite. Glad I found the lyrics here. Still not sure about the double lyric part in the middle, but I'll try listening with the audio panned to one side to see if this helps.
Totally, one of the coolest songs of all time.

    ------ About the song Magnification performed by Yes

One of their better songs, although all are really great. This song has good lyrics and meaning, singing, and fantastic musicians. Chris squire is on of the best bass players next to Paul McCartney and Peter Cetera. Jon has a very unique voice and remembers all the words of all the songs! The drumming in so precise and Alan loves what he does. Guitars by Steve Howe is unmatched. Wakeman is extremely talented as always. Great song. The DVD of symphonic songs is definitely worth viewing many times over.

    ------ About the song Starship Trooper performed by Yes

I've only just recently learned of Yes and I have to say... Their music is the best hands down, from the deep chorus to the soulful keys, it is magically woven with a bright hand. My favorite songs are Starship Trooper (the Keys to Ascention version for that divine keyboard solo), I've Seen All Good People, South Side of the Sky, Heart of the Sunrise, We Have Heaven, and of course Owner of a Lonely Heart! I am deeply greatful for their combined musical talent, this is what music wishes it can become! :D

    ------ About the song Perpetual Change performed by Yes

Why is a song the best song ever? becouse it has everything a song needs, such as a very good beginning, several tempo’s, drums, guitars, beautiful voices, a lot of other instruments, tension, excitement, recurrent melodies and silence and a very strong enc. Perpetual change has it all. Don't you fhink?

    ------ About the song Siberian Khatru performed by Yes

I was able to see the band live at the Miami Jai Alai Fronton on Thanksgiving Day 1974. This was their first tour without Rick Wakeman, but Patrick Moraz did a great job with the music which is quite complex, and he did not have a long time to become familiar with all the songs that they would be performing.

Even 40 years later, I still find that this band and their music are able to inspire me, and if I am depressed (which I am somewhat often over the loss of my son) their sonic artistry and meaningful lyrics are a GREAT help to me.
