Far and away the longest lasting and the most successful of the 1970s' progressive rock groups, Yes has proved one of the lingering success stories from that musical genre. The band, founded in 1968, has overcome a generational shift in its audience and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band. Where rivals such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer withered away commercially after the mid-'70s, and Genesis and King Crimson altered their sounds so radically as to become unrecognizable to their original fans, Yes has retained the same sound, and performs much of the same repertory that they were doing in 1971 — and for their trouble, they find themselves being taken seriousl More...

First lines in the song Soon | Reviewer: Mike Roby ------ About the song Soon performed by Yes I beleive the first lines in soon to be---- "Soon oh soon the light" "As we lead up to the sandless night" It does not make that much since but I have listened to it over and over and wanted to know the lyrics. Please review and I hope this helps or that I am wrong. You have an awesome lyrics site. Good Song | Reviewer: Taylor ------ About the song I've Seen All Good People performed by Yes I think this song is based on Through the Looking Glass, the second Alice in Wonderland book by Lewis Carroll. The whole book is a chess game, and Alice joins the game as a pawn, but makes her way through the board to become a queen. A song for the ages | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wonderous Stories performed by Yes Indeed, what a beautiful song. Jon Anderson has the perfect voice in reciting the lyrics to this incredibly beautiful ballad. I believe this song can be appreciated by people of all ages. It is among my most revered. Brilliant | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Holy Lamb performed by Yes Vastly underrated album, and this is one of my favorite songs from the album. Jon Anderson's voice soars through the melody. I think it would have been a little better had it just been acoustic guitar, but Holy Lamb is still a fantastic song. Show Me | Reviewer: iplaychess@optonline.net ------ About the song Show Me performed by Yes Best Yes song ever. I can listen to this song over and over for hours without getting tired. Perfect instrumentation, touching lyrics, and beautiful song. this is the best yes song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Siberian Khatru performed by Yes well it speaks for itself i like the keyboard part that bill bruford swings with..a much better drummer than niel pert by the way becuse he can swing etc...and more ....and my late cousin killed at 9/11 lonny jay stone he also felt this was yes.s best period and song .....theres some great video of bruford on you yube with king crimson 73 dr.d etc...and easy money..miss you lon kid love your big cousin glenn leslie Yes before they were Prog!!! | Reviewer: toby ------ About the song Yesterday And Today performed by Yes This song has two attributes that most Yes fans would not associate with the group;this song is both simple and short.For a band who would go on to record twenty minute,mellotron-infused suites, the sound of Jon Anderson singing to about two-and-a-half minutes of simple piano music is really interesting. Yesterday and Today, the third track on the eponymous debut album (1969),shows a young band, sure of its talent, yet unsure of its direction. (Much of this can be attributed to original guitarist Peter Banks, who seemed to envision Yes as a Cream-style jazz-rock band.) Y&T is a beautiful, relaxing fusion of Jon's high-register voice and a soft acoustic piano that made no effort to compete with the voice track. Completely unpretentious (we're taliking about YES,folks!), I highly recommend this song. good job yes | Reviewer: amanda v ------ About the song Amazing Grace performed by Yes great job on the lyrics its my favorite song. good job yes its amazing. by the way its my 16th birthday today One master piece | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Heart of the Sunrise performed by Yes Heart of the sunrise is one of the master pieces of the history of Rock. It is complex in all directions: very few bands can equal the imagination, inventive, composition, and the technique level shown in this song of Yes. Greetings from México. Ten True Summers | Reviewer: Kent Agne ------ About artist/band Yes As with much of Yes's lyrical content, I have no clue what Ten True Summers is supposed to mean. I do know that it evokes an inspired feeling as it combines with the rest of the musics content. I really enjoy the concise informative article. I do have a question. It seems that there were times that I heard Roundabout that there were words being sung during the closing da da da da dah dah da. Anyone else have knowledge of this OR was I just a little too juiced on chemical amusement aids. one of those songs that gets you moving | Reviewer: tim ------ About the song I've Seen All Good People performed by Yes i love the lyrics and beat gets ya moving even on a bad day andi have seen all good people Not about 9/11 | Reviewer: cyberian khatru ------ About the song In The Presence Of performed by Yes Everywhere I see the lyrics for this song, it has a reference at the beginning to 9/11. This song, while full of foreshadowing and almost a dead bullseye to the events and feelings of 9/11, was written in 2000 and released BEFORE 9/11 in 2001. I heard the song live in Portsmouth Va on 8/19/01. It was tremendous and made me think of my hometown and growing up there (a small town 60 miles south of the venue). Anyway, a great song and wonderful lyrics...but not about 9/11. Dreams with Him, Master Jesus | Reviewer: Vitor Junior ------ About the song Wonderous Stories performed by Yes This is a beautiful song... This explain all. An expect to see the Master in his dreams to hear His stories, and wisdom words. I love it! | Reviewer: Tammy ------ About the song Siberian Khatru performed by Yes This is beautiful song, especially the solo in the middle. It brings to mind visions of mountains behind wild open fields. I want to drive there, and run to them. YES: A GREAT BAND | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Siberian Khatru performed by Yes Yes is one of my favorite bands and Siberian Khatru is a great song. Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song In The Presence Of performed by Yes It's really amazing when a band can produce incredible stuff early on, and still 30+ years later still surprise you. Yes did that with Magnification, and it was summed up beautifully with In the Presence Of. This song ranks up there with classics like And You and I, Heart of the Sunrise, and even Close to the Edge. I couldn't believe how well the orchestra seemed to merge with the classic Yes sound and to me it was almost like a swirling feeling. To all Troopers who think modern Yes is nowhere near the music of the 70's, put aside your biases and listen to this song. You won't be sorry. Heart and Soul | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wonderous Stories performed by Yes This song epitomizes the heart of the Seventies, it lifts you along on a cosmological journey that culminates in a soulful search for the truth. A song of our time. "classic" rock | Reviewer: wazz ------ About the song Turn Of The Century performed by Yes this song rates as one of the best songs of the band, and i would say, of any band at any time. the text is superbly written, comparable to some of the great poets of our age. rilke comes to mind. perhaps rilke is pushing it, but the air of sadness coupled with the desire to understand and push through a difficult time brings him to mind. the music conjures memories of mahler, somehow coupled with a troubadour's turn of phrase and down-to-earth sentiment. the melodies, the arrangement and emotion of the song make it one of the best songs of our age.
