The moment at 3:06 in the single when the melody crosses over and down across a resolution of the chords is one of the best things IVE EVER HEARD in popular music. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have discovered and actualized that transition. "YES" is more than a very good song- it's an outstanding transcendent life affirming recording. I can't praise the composition, the arrangement and the vocal performance highly enough. If anyone wants to know what 11/10 sounds like, "Yes" is it.
Eight years late to the party but my god, what a truly wonderful explanation of how to sing this stunning song. Thank you for sharing and I’ll continue to be astounded by that voice 🔥
Dear David, thank y🤗u for your singing masterclass detailing your phenomenal ‘Yes’ performance - you have demonstrated both in the studio and in live performances your talent that no other British singer has reached thus far. After watching your video, I am beginning to understand how many things a singer has to concentrate on as the song progresses and in front of a live audience, this is a great achievement. Stay safe and stay Blessed, today and always - Amen
THE song of all-time perfection can't be bettered !!! Absolute and utter genius & played to death in this house Love you David McAlmont & Bernard of the Butler you leave a musical legacy
David, I saw you perform Yes on stage in 1993, it was my favourite song that year, I wasn't expecting to see you, then you appeared looking fabulous in a cool purple outfit, you were brilliant ! A wonderful memory.
Lots of love from sunny Malaysia. YES got me thru my horrible breakup days back in 1995 in the most invigorating & uplifting manner. So yeah, TQ David & Bernard. Just recently got connected with the original MV & found this video. TQ for sharing with your wonderful talent.
The one and only. I always thought you was crazy and I purchased the album upon release. It's still in my top 5 and you are one of the greatest vocalists I have ever heard. You're truly incredible. I can't express how great you are. Jodeci was my fave group of all time vocally and you just are the only other person who hits my soul. Just love ya man. X
I loved this record from the moment I first heard it. Fortunate to have seen you perform it in concert at the Scala in Islington back in 2002. This video was fun to watch as well as being educational. Thank you!
This performance You believe it I'm impressed. You tore out my heart. The way you sing is with soul, don't know the technical thing, but you did it with this song. I have listened more to this than when in the charts because you can feel the singer, head, chest, heart and soul. Thank you for this performance of your voice, soul and yourself
This was fantastic to watch. Thank you David. Fell in love with this song back in the 90s and as a singer myself it was fascinating to hear you break the song down.
one of the better singers that came out on the Brit scene in the 90's. Personally "You Do" was my fav, a brilliant song. Don't take offence, but I always wondered how you just sort of vanished after a few years. Good to see you resurface on the web at least :-)
the best teacher i've had thus far! hope it went really well for you. so talented, that song is timeless. sorry ive only just discovered this video, could've done with seeing it years ago xxx
Superb. The interesting thing for me, as someone trained in Neuro Linguistics was watching him actually looking for the notes when going high and into his head, I may be wrong but I think he visualizes the resonance of the note as he is singing it.....Bloody marvellous....
This has always been my favourite song to sing when I'm alone pottering about, making a cuppa tea or doing dishes etc. Obviously I sound nothing like David, but I've always got a lot of pleasure from singing it. Probably sounds awful but in my head it sounds ok. So I found this really interesting. And when David starting singing at the end, well that was a real treat. Thanks for the video, David. You also have a lovely talking voice, as well as your amazing singing voice. Hope to find more of you in videos like this.
A truly truly beautiful song and such an incredible voice. It gave me chills when yes came on the radio today. Just wow! Your voice is outstanding. Xxx
Truly enjoyed your song Yes and how you folks presented it. I only know one person who did right by you and that was a contestant on UK The Voice. Jolan. He respected your song and gave it terrific presentation.

A cathedral fell out his mouth when he started singing
What a completely lovely bloke.
Isn't he just. I've always loved that song.
Me too!
Gorgeous man, incredible singer, and one of the most defiant, triumphant songs ever written. Cheers, David!
I totally agree, every word. X
I used to sing this song at the top of my voice while driving..must have been like cats drowning😂 these are truly amazing vocals🙏

The emotion and pure euphoria of the vocals in this song bring tears of happiness to my eyes. Ethereal and amazing.
Eight years late to the party but my god, what a truly wonderful explanation of how to sing this stunning song. Thank you for sharing and I’ll continue to be astounded by that voice 🔥
I fell in love with your voice when I heard YES many years ago. I still play your stuff now. You have a beautiful talent.
Honestly put this man's voice up there with the great Soul singers. Outstanding talent.
It's the uniqueness of his approach - with songs written to match his strengths. The result is beautiful and sounds like no one else.
Voice of an angel. The album he did before Bernard is awesome. Either is an amazing song. Thank you x
Yes has been repeating itself in my head for what seems like decades, and I'm still not sick of it!😃
What a voice !!!! Unbelievable
Yes and falling are two of my all time favourite songs
That was a real treat for him to go through it like that. Its an awesome song.
Classic song and a classic man
An amazing song. One of my favourites of all time. It always gives me shivers and makes me smile. Love it. If only I could sing it 😄.

What a nice bloke. Really comes across as a genuine great guy with a fantastic voice. Thankyou David.
Not a chance I would ever be able to sing that, but watched it all for the wonderful insights and the fact he's obviously a kind generous person.
THE song of all-time perfection can't be bettered !!! Absolute and utter genius & played to death in this house Love you David McAlmont & Bernard of the Butler you leave a musical legacy
Thankyou FOREVER for creating this song McAlmont and Butler. Art from every angle ⭐️⭐️⭐️
My fave ever song. 'Couldn't stand' is my fave part 😃
I've been thinking what to say and it always comes to my first thought...You have the sweetest voice in the world
His 1st single called Look at Yourself is a guide as to how his voice is so superb. Love this guy....
Absolutely amazing! Not only a mega talented performer but a very gifted educator too!!!!!
David, I saw you perform Yes on stage in 1993, it was my favourite song that year, I wasn't expecting to see you, then you appeared looking fabulous in a cool purple outfit, you were brilliant ! A wonderful memory.

Love love love you! Song of the 90s for me!!

Mr McCalmont, this song is one of my all time favourites since the first time I heard it in 95 I was hooked!
Bliss, heady beauty and utterly intoxicating to hear and see.
Oh, wow. That was brilliant! What a gift he has...and he's a sweetheart too.
I loved this record from the moment I first heard it. Fortunate to have seen you perform it in concert at the Scala in Islington back in 2002. This video was fun to watch as well as being educational. Thank you!

i love your songs,ive been searching for you for years,and bingo i found yes,to me your the best voice ever
Truly amazing voice and utterly stunning song. Thank you - the breathing definitely helps with the high notes that I struggle with.
The Bee Gees made full use of the 'falsetto' many years ago, but the technique is explained so eloquently here by David.
this is like batman taking off his mask .
Michael Seymour this guy!
