@@jonathandutchak9541 sorry… yes. Rock legends are getting scarcer and scarcer. That’s why these guys need to patch things up and do what they can to make music with the time they have left. (My $0.02)
Back in 1982, a friend invited me to his place, he knew that I was fond of rock music, mainly Rainbow, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, ..... And then he told me, come listen to good music. What he turned on turned my idea of the world of music forever !!! The first thing that captured me from the first listening: King Crimson - "21st Century Schizoid Man" is understandable, but with the second disc it became more difficult, too much musical information fell on me then and it took me a little more time to comprehend! And it was Yes - Close To The Edge !!! I had to listen to them several times to understand what masterpieces I am listening to !!! It is very difficult for a young maximalist to change to a new one ! )) And so, when I "drove" into it, I could already listen to all the music there is on Earth!!! By the way, I still don't speak or understand English! 😉 В далёком 1982 году меня пригласил к себе приятель, он знал что я увлекаюсь рок музыкой, в основном Rainbow, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, ..... А тут он мне говорит, приходи послушать хорошую музыку. То что он включил перевернуло моё представление о мире музыки на всегда !!! Первое, что захватило меня с первого прослушивания: King Crimson - "21st Century Schizoid Man" это понятно, а вот со вторым диском пошло труднее, уж слишком много музыкальной информации на меня тогда свалилось и мне понадобилось несколько большее время на осмысление ! А это был Yes - Close To The Edge !!! Мне пришлось несколько раз прослушать их что бы понять какие шедевры я слушаю !!! Очень трудно молодому максималисту перестроится на новое ! )) И вот, когда я "въехал" в это, я уже мог слушать всю музыку какая есть на Земле !!! Кстати, я до сих пор не говорю и не понимаю английский ! 😉
I got to know progressive music through some older relatives: cousins and my only brother. Years later, I was able to introduce them to my listening degree: Focus, Gentle Giant, Jeff Beck, Niacin, Liquid Tension Experiment, Steve Morse, Dixie Dregs, The Aristocrats and many others. But there is a group from my country that I dare recommend you to listen to. SEQUAZ. Look it up on TH-cam. By the way, I'm from Brazil.
Steve Howe, one of the best guitarist ever,and sadly one of the most underated. this is one of my favorite Rock bands of all time, would also like to say that by far my favorite album by them is Close to the edge, and my favorite Yes song of all time comes from this album: Siberian Khatru
@@bobonham52 his work at the end of the piece is amazing. I also love the crecendo at the end of " to be over" he builds to a harmonic note that seems to trandsend a etheralness almost as to phase out to the other side or something. My favorite as well. Now Alex Lifeson underrated for sure!
Full agreement. I was devastated when Jeff Beck died suddenly. Got to see him once. Jimmy Page doesn't even play, even in recent decades. Steve Howe is the only one left in my book of guitar heroes.
@@jeffrobodine239 AMEN to that, I’ll be 64 in December & I’ve been listening to YES since 1969 & like you it’s a blessing to have been influenced so deeply by this wonderful band. YES IS BEST!!!
67 years old from Athens-Greece, prog rock fan from the early days, but believe it or not, I had never delved into Yes until 2024! Why? Maybe because there was so much incredible music in the late sixties-early seventies? Could not afford to buy their LPs? Had missed reading album reviews? None of my school friends had any of their albums? All of these. No matter, really happy to have now gotten acquainted with them, humbly bowing to their brilliance!
Antonios Pomonis This album was recorded between 1996 and 1997 and released in 2001. In my opinion, this album represented the return of the style and strong line-up of the 70s, which was Yes' best phase. I suggest listening to other songs from this album. MIND DRIVE and BRING ME TO THE POWER are also great. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystudio
Dear Carlos, it is exactly as you said, and I will definitely listen to the other tracks of the "Keystudio" album which also pretty much features the original Yes cast. Still learning and loving it!
Back in that day, 1995, I was absolutely thrilled to learn that Howe and Wakeman were back (I way never all that fond of Rabin and Kaye), and I was even more thrilled with the ensuing half live half studio sets, KtA 1&2. Nowadays I'm a bit less enthusiastic of the live stuff but the new recording still hold strong for me. This one here in particular. A number of years later there was in fact an album of the studio cuts only, Keystudio, which to me it continues to be Topographic Oceans turned into latter days' currency. So full of impact, so monumental, so outworldly. I DO dig it.
I love this song. Jon takes on the difficult task of trying to explain if there is a loving God why do bad things happen, by taking us from the streets all the way to the heavenly realms and back again. And the band is up to the challenge musically. Look upon this life as just a picture you are painting There is a reason for this being Look upon this place as just a part of all that is It is a spiritual part of being
Whenever you read or see interviews with Jon when he speaks about his song writing he's a combination of crazily modest, he walks you through it as though it's no big deal, ”I needed a line to say XYZ then Chris said something and that sparked the line, Then we moved on to the next line and that's all… you just repeat that process"
This is a truly epic piece of music by Yes! It's one of my favorites that did not get the attention it deserves. This song is their with Awaken, CTE. Thank you for sharing!
Yes. There are the children of the world. And then there are those who "dwell in heaven". They may live among us, and you and I. These days are no worry to them. How did heaven begin?
Awesome - one of my favorite tracks by Yes - this incessant bass drum build-up in the Part 2 is awesome, as well the whole 2 part, nervous and fast, and then there is that tremendous Part 4 with its slower menacing psychedelic pacing
I def prefer Mind Drive, but this one has grown on me as I've gotten older. Just something about the arrangement started to make sense. Also that coda!
@@jeffreyjaystein Yes I have watched once. On 1998, I think. Six musicians on stage. Anderson, Squire, White, Howe, Sherwood and Khoroshev. But Rick Wakeman solo, I've watched five times on 1981, 1993, 2001, 2012 and 2014. Last one with orchestra and choir.

@@quicksite I dare not comment on the lyrics of the song. Although I understand English, but this is not my native language. Much understanding is lost along the way. Especially when it comes to poetic language.
That's because it was released as part of a collection of new songs that was tacked, rather awkwardly, onto the live albums Keys To Ascension I & II. Never made much sense, all of this new material should have been released as a separate album. Never got the radio airplay it deserved so it has been mostly relegated to one-off status. Well worth the effort and exploration in my view.
@@usaturnuranus You said it brother (or sister). They totally blew that. I still would've bought the live versions had there not been new material on them, and then I would've bought all the new material too. Marketing disaster.
@@relicofgold Agreed! Hard to believe it was done this way. I also would have gladly bought both live releases as well as a stand alone "Key Studio" album.
I bought here in Brazil an album called KEYSTUDIO with these new songs. I love this album recorded between 1996 and 1997, produced by Billy Sherwood. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystudio
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 Thanks for the information and the link! I'll read up on it, but I am really surprised to hear of an official stand alone album release of these tracks!
I love Beethoven's music, especially the late period. The string quartet in A minor is stunning, the 3rd movement just kills me. Many years ago, when I was at a particularly low point in my life, the I was listening to the A minor, the sun was streaming through the window and I just dissolved into the sound. During the 3rd movement, I noticed I was crying, sobbing hard, not because I was sad or depressed, but because of the sheer beauty of the music. When it was finished, I had to go out for a walk, feeling reinvigorated and purposeful, and things started looking up from there. Thanks, Ludwig, you really helped me through a bad patch. 🙏
What a treasure -find, and just hearing Howes introduction had me listening; having been brought up with older brothers I thought I knew all there was about "Yes', for me it's like finding a missing piece of puzzle, thank you for uploading!
Same thing happened to me. My only elder brother has lead me through prog music. One day I "discovered" this album. Then it was my turn to show him a rare jewel.
I don't know what set it off but there's an extraordinary number of comments that just were entered in the past month and even days. (November 20, 2022)
It’s the ever increasing love and appreciation for Yes music. The echoes and reverberations from their creations will only increase as they proceed down the halls of time. ❤
This is a YES Masterpiece in the realm of HOTS, SOUTH SIDE OF THE SKY, CTTE, RSOG, AWAKEN, GATES OF DELIRIUM, BROTHER OF MINE, MAGNIFICATION & on & on, YES SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Late 96...I was dating a girl.. Haven't heard this for a minute... Took me back...weather...life....her. I said what do you think ???? Blank Blank. Her idea of music was Foo Figheters, Fugies, Jewel.... That's fine... Only 2 years younger than me.....college student, could not comprehend the complexity. Never bothered Close to the Edge. This is awesome....if Rick hadn't took has ball and went home for the 40th time....this lineup (again) could have made 3 , 4 albums.....what could have been.
@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 So Different than Talk Or the Ladder Cross of GFTO.....and ABWH, with the events and problems of the time. Jon was on his game Lyrics wise.
How in the hell did I miss this album?. For my life long love of YES, I missed this. I guess I've been stuck on the old stuff. Thank you so much. The intro has a western film vibe. Does anyone know of Ennio Morricone who has creates over 400 soundtracks. Clint films etc. He was a genius and only lost him last year. Thank you!
OMG!!! YOU"RE..... AWAKENED!!! WoooooHoooooo!!!!! Hahahahahahaha another/more twinn(s)! When??? Lyrics:AWESOME! Instrumentals: OUTSTANDING..... NO......BETTER THAN EVER!!! Can't believe you guys crossed over! Tripped up on one of your concerts on youtube and Jon starts off talking about... "LOVE", my ears perked a bit.... "did he say what i think he just said?""..... rewind......replay...... "..... and there was love everywhere, so beautiful to see...", "shit, that is what he said!!!"...... start searching tube for more recent concerts, songs, anything...... POOF! There it is!!! THAT, THAT IS!!! WooHoo, they crossed over too!!! Wait, there's another, MIND DRIVE! Yup, they're HERE!!! Thank you for sharing the LOVE on this side, ALL that IS and will ALWAYS.... "BE" ....!! little twinn 💜
This is a Yes song that I really wish the present Yes line up would perform. It's just astounding from beginning to end. I'm sure Billy Sherwood and Geoff Downes could handle this, and Jon Davison on vocals. It would shock the audience if they really played it. This came out in the 90s, but it far being representative of any 90s music or 90s sound. This is Yes. This is progressive rock. This is not grunge or emo ... thank God.
it was never performed live because they would have needed another lead guitar, steve plays like 4 different guitars all over dubbed on that tune, the current lineup just canceled Relayer because in all reality, they just can't pull it off
Parece una oda a la fuerza de voluntad y a la fuerza femenina. Las damas del mundo deberían oírla una vez y prestar atención a la letra sobre la vida que, si eventualmente lo deciden, puedan traer al mundo. Es la epopeya de un desafío para las almas inocentes en camino de regreso a la fuente divina. Una ensueño etéreo reminiscente de los océanos topográficos 20 años después.
Thanks for uploading this. IMO, the studio tracks from Keys to Ascension 1 & 2 don't get the credit they deserve. I think they are of comparable quality to much of their early to mid 70s output.
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 - I agree with Rick Wakeman with regard to the thought that the studio tracks should have been a separate album from the beginning. IMO, that album should have been called Keys to Ascension and the live album called Live in San Luis Obispo.
@@DavidLazarus True, I hadn't thought of this before. Keystudio is not as appropriate as Keys to Ascension. This title would definitely go down much better. Perhaps the Keystudio compilation would be better known and publicized, as a masterpiece deserves recognition.
¡Exactamente! Esta fue una falla en el programa que no se procesó correctamente. Estoy pensando en rehacer todo en el nuevo programa que estoy usando ahora, que ya no tiene este defecto. Supongo que vale la pena tener este trabajo.
I can't believe Rick would have liked this music. I love Jon but he was mostly ruining this period with trying to wail all the on-the-nose lyrics and carry the day.
Rick was excited by this music and was disappointed that Keys to Ascension wasn't released with only the new studio tracks. Keystudio was finally released years later.
No es "Yes". Es "Yess". Fijaos en que el logo del nombre del grupo lleva 2 "S". Vaya manía absurda, ya asentada, de llamarlo "Yes", traducido al español es "SI", y el nombre, traducido, es una de tantas acepciones del idioma inglés de "Jesús", Yess.
@@javierriveram1988 Tu eres un pobre ignorante sin conocimientos ni formación que poco o nada sabe. A mi no me gusta en absoluto el nombre de "Jesús", pero así se llamaban, como tampoco me gusta que Ian Anderson, de Jethro Tull, sea amigo íntimo de Donald Trump, pero es lo que hay, "sabio de moda".
@@raulaguilardiez957 no me insulta el hecho que me llames 'ignorante', mas bien creo que tu lo eres, no estoy discutiendo para nada el nombre de Jesús ni su existencia, eso no me importa, a lo que voy es que creo conocer lo suficiente de la historia de ésta banda y el logotipo de Roger Dean para saber de lo que hablo que me parece que no es su caso
@@javierriveram1988 Cuando yo comencé a escuchar a "Yess", llamado entonces "Rock sinfónico", tu no habías nacido. No comprendes demasiado el sentido de lo que es "conversar" de lo que deduzco que tienes una gran opinión de ti mismo. La referencia a "Jesús" nada tiene que ver con creencias religiosas, sino que era su traducción. Aunque los conozco de sobra aún los escucho y lo seguiré haciendo y por mi parte, asunto agotado.
@@raulaguilardiez957 yo empecé a escuchar a Yes a los 10 años, mi primer álbum fue el recopilatorio Yesterdays, la cual engloba los trabajos de los dos primeros álbumes 'Yes' y 'Time and a Word', si se digna a investigar un poquito la portada original de esos dos albumes claramente se escribe el nombre de la banda, no es hasta el quinto album (Close to the Edge) la cual utiliza el logo burbuja de Roger Dean, "pseudo-conocedor del Rock Sinfónico"
Ich fand den Text auch erst sehr seltsam und krass, aber je mehr ich ihn verstehe, um so mehr mag ich das ganze Stück, es ist wirklich eine echte Schatzkiste
früher, als ich gerade noch "don`t kill the Wale" verstanden habe, habe ich auf Texte nicht geachtet. Heute ist das schwierig. Aber insgesamt ist YES grossartige Musik.
I never thought I'd hear a Yes song with the word "crack" in it. How wrong. And how far they'd fallen. Of course, it's downright good compared to the new stuff.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your opinion. The lyrics of this song may not even match the peace lyrics we have always become accustomed to. But they spoke about a reality of life in a touching way that makes us reflect more on human beings in an invitation to solidarity. The musical quality is an overcoming and display of personal maturity by each musician with the reunion of a lineup that was one of the most successful in Yes' entire history.
Since there are no founding members left in the band, and all that remains of the classic lineup is Steve Howe, I would like to see Yes move from "That That Is", to "Well, That's It". They should've hung it up after Alan and Chris died.
@@TONE11111 Your opinion is noted. I happen to think the splattered tomato on the Tormato album cover was a listener's first response to listening to the album.
Thats not how music and musicians work from the beginning. Their work is for foremost themselves. If we as the audience dont like it, we leave. Besides: this is a musical band, not a marriage for life. And, bills STILL have to get paid, as you might remember.

Thanks for share, great. Great song, performance and arrangement. Alan, amazing drummer.
Wonderfull opening with crustal guitar...and then perfection all around,drums,bass...!Teach class!!!Greetings from Greece
True, So clean. It's a Portuguese mandolin I believe.
YES, For ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Never heard this song before, I don’t know why. It is really quite wonderful with a driving energy enveloped in musicality.
That's because it was released as part of a collection of new songs that was tacked, rather awkwardly, onto the live albums Keys To Ascension I & II. Never made much sense, all of this new material should have been released as a separate album. Never got the radio airplay it deserved so it has been mostly relegated to one-off status. Well worth the effort and exploration in my view.
@@usaturnuranus You said it brother (or sister). They totally blew that. I still would've bought the live versions had there not been new material on them, and then I would've bought all the new material too. Marketing disaster.
@@relicofgold Agreed! Hard to believe it was done this way. I also would have gladly bought both live releases as well as a stand alone "Key Studio" album.
I bought here in Brazil an album called KEYSTUDIO with these new songs. I love this album recorded between 1996 and 1997, produced by Billy Sherwood.

@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 Thanks for the information and the link! I'll read up on it, but I am really surprised to hear of an official stand alone album release of these tracks!
Awesome song!!!
I love Beethoven's music, especially the late period. The string quartet in A minor is stunning, the 3rd movement just kills me.
Many years ago, when I was at a particularly low point in my life, the I was listening to the A minor, the sun was streaming through the window and I just dissolved into the sound. During the 3rd movement, I noticed I was crying, sobbing hard, not because I was sad or depressed, but because of the sheer beauty of the music. When it was finished, I had to go out for a walk, feeling reinvigorated and purposeful, and things started looking up from there.
Thanks, Ludwig, you really helped me through a bad patch. 🙏
Ludwig's birthday is coming up.
Yes conveys an optimistic sense of spiritualism
This and Mind Drive are the last two pieces of true YES
I agree with you.
La verdad está en la letra de esta vida fugaz y cósmica ,tengo 40 años escuchando a yes.( Jon anderson) gracias.
What a treasure -find, and just hearing Howes introduction had me listening; having been brought up with older brothers I thought I knew all there was about "Yes', for me it's like finding a missing piece of puzzle, thank you for uploading!
Same thing happened to me. My only elder brother has lead me through prog music. One day I "discovered" this album. Then it was my turn to show him a rare jewel.
I don't know what set it off but there's an extraordinary number of comments that just were entered in the past month and even days. (November 20, 2022)
It’s the ever increasing love and appreciation for Yes music. The echoes and reverberations from their creations will only increase as they proceed down the halls of time. ❤
Can't stop listening to this song.
yes🎉yes🎉that that is🎉best line up🎉 thank you from japan🎉🅾️m vazara sattova 🅰️ku❤
Que música más sublime ! Esas notas llegan al alma y estremecen mi corazón !
This is a YES Masterpiece in the realm of HOTS, SOUTH SIDE OF THE SKY, CTTE, RSOG, AWAKEN, GATES OF DELIRIUM, BROTHER OF MINE, MAGNIFICATION & on & on, YES SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Masterpiece... Yes, that, that is!
Late 96...I was dating a girl..
Haven't heard this for a minute...
Took me back...weather...life....her.
I said what do you think ????
Blank
Blank.
Her idea of music was Foo Figheters, Fugies, Jewel....
That's fine...
Only 2 years younger than me.....college student, could not comprehend the complexity.
Never bothered Close to the Edge.
This is awesome....if Rick hadn't took has ball and went home for the 40th time....this lineup (again) could have made 3 , 4 albums.....what could have been.
This line up could certainly gone further...

My favorite song off the Keys 1
Not one of my favourite Yes tunes, but man that intro is beautifully recorded. I'd never really listened to the production before.
Great song.
Thanks👍
How in the hell did I miss this album?. For my life long love of YES, I missed this. I guess I've been stuck on the old stuff. Thank you so much. The intro has a western film vibe. Does anyone know of Ennio Morricone who has creates over 400 soundtracks. Clint films etc. He was a genius and only lost him last year. Thank you!
Sauber!
Howe ist halt der Beste.
My first hearing this song.. but I tried to say this. Since birth
Through every song
OMG!!! YOU"RE..... AWAKENED!!! WoooooHoooooo!!!!! Hahahahahahaha another/more twinn(s)! When??? Lyrics:AWESOME! Instrumentals: OUTSTANDING..... NO......BETTER THAN EVER!!! Can't believe you guys crossed over! Tripped up on one of your concerts on youtube and Jon starts off talking about... "LOVE", my ears perked a bit.... "did he say what i think he just said?""..... rewind......replay...... "..... and there was love everywhere, so beautiful to see...", "shit, that is what he said!!!"...... start searching tube for more recent concerts, songs, anything...... POOF! There it is!!! THAT, THAT IS!!! WooHoo, they crossed over too!!! Wait, there's another, MIND DRIVE! Yup, they're HERE!!! Thank you for sharing the LOVE on this side, ALL that IS and will ALWAYS.... "BE" ....!! little twinn 💜
wtf Yes telling us so much common sense and realism. AND HOPE!
Possibly my favourite Yes song . . . but then again tomorrow it may be . . .
I love it too!

Great song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a Suite, no a song.
Love Yes
Viva o Rock a melhor música 🤩
yes fã desde 1971
Tremenda traduccion al Espanol de una gran cancion
Es una Suite.
Still listen to this album to this day :)
Keystudio is among the great Yes albums. I never tire of listening to it :)
This is a Yes song that I really wish the present Yes line up would perform. It's just astounding from beginning to end.
I'm sure Billy Sherwood and Geoff Downes could handle this, and Jon Davison on vocals. It would shock the audience
if they really played it. This came out in the 90s, but it far being representative of any 90s music or 90s sound.
This is Yes. This is progressive rock. This is not grunge or emo ... thank God.
OMG we need a laughing emoji !!🤣
it was never performed live because they would have needed another lead guitar, steve plays like 4 different guitars all over dubbed on that tune, the current lineup just canceled Relayer because in all reality, they just can't pull it off
@@danabullerwell8164
You find humor in Yes ?
@@RaelsparkI think he finds humor in Steve’s YES!
@@BarrySanchez Geoff Downes is a riot.
Tremenda cancion al Espanol Gracias
Es una Suite, por su duracion.
This all those years ago…last epic by yes until……”once upon a dream” Jon Anderson and Band Geeks
What are we listening too.
Alan White from #PlasticOno!
Parece una oda a la fuerza de voluntad y a la fuerza femenina. Las damas del mundo deberían oírla una vez y prestar atención a la letra sobre la vida que, si eventualmente lo deciden, puedan traer al mundo. Es la epopeya de un desafío para las almas inocentes en camino de regreso a la fuente divina. Una ensueño etéreo reminiscente de los océanos topográficos 20 años después.
I like your take on this! Thanks for sharing.
I had forgotten about the existence of this song! Which album is it from??
The album I have that contains this song is KEYSTUDIO.
Thanks for uploading this. IMO, the studio tracks from Keys to Ascension 1 & 2 don't get the credit they deserve. I think they are of comparable quality to much of their early to mid 70s output.
I'm really glad you liked the post. This formation is my favorite. Totally agree...same energy of the 70's
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 - I agree with Rick Wakeman with regard to the thought that the studio tracks should have been a separate album from the beginning. IMO, that album should have been called Keys to Ascension and the live album called Live in San Luis Obispo.
@@DavidLazarus True, I hadn't thought of this before. Keystudio is not as appropriate as Keys to Ascension. This title would definitely go down much better. Perhaps the Keystudio compilation would be better known and publicized, as a masterpiece deserves recognition.
Me too..
Não lembro dessa música. De quando é?
Buena equalización. Lástima que faltan los últimos segundos de audio y no queda bien la terminación del tema.
¡Exactamente! Esta fue una falla en el programa que no se procesó correctamente. Estoy pensando en rehacer todo en el nuevo programa que estoy usando ahora, que ya no tiene este defecto. Supongo que vale la pena tener este trabajo.
Interesting transcript, you may want to check, edit 4 any errors
Thank you. I regret to inform you that I cannot change it after the video has already been posted.
But thanks for letting me know.
That That Is Cut and Pasted Haphazardly Without ANY Regard To Forming a Cohesive Pseudo YES Epic...That's What THIS IS. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
No. The. Beatles. R. The. Best. Band. Ever!! Sorry. But. Yes. Is. One. Of. The. Greatest. Bands. Ever😨
Howe spielt wie so oft unsauber
In diesem Fall, denke ich, bekommt die ganze Band die Schuld... (lacht)
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 Ja du hast Recht. Kein wirkliches Meisterwerk.
Howe 's Gitarren Genudel ist furchtbar 😢😢😢😢
I can't believe Rick would have liked this music. I love Jon but he was mostly ruining this period with trying to wail all the on-the-nose lyrics and carry the day.
Yeah and if p e ople think this is great they need to go back 45 years or so...
But Rick is there ! . . . . . all 5 ! . . . . ??

Rick was excited by this music and was disappointed that Keys to Ascension wasn't released with only the new studio tracks. Keystudio was finally released years later.
No es "Yes". Es "Yess". Fijaos en que el logo del nombre del grupo lleva 2 "S". Vaya manía absurda, ya asentada, de llamarlo "Yes", traducido al español es "SI", y el nombre, traducido, es una de tantas acepciones del idioma inglés de "Jesús", Yess.
De dónde diablos sacas eso? Esa 'otra s' es en realidad el adorno que une la letra y con la s, la s real, para al final la e estar entre las 2
@@javierriveram1988 Tu eres un pobre ignorante sin conocimientos ni formación que poco o nada sabe. A mi no me gusta en absoluto el nombre de "Jesús", pero así se llamaban, como tampoco me gusta que Ian Anderson, de Jethro Tull, sea amigo íntimo de Donald Trump, pero es lo que hay, "sabio de moda".
@@raulaguilardiez957 no me insulta el hecho que me llames 'ignorante', mas bien creo que tu lo eres, no estoy discutiendo para nada el nombre de Jesús ni su existencia, eso no me importa, a lo que voy es que creo conocer lo suficiente de la historia de ésta banda y el logotipo de Roger Dean para saber de lo que hablo que me parece que no es su caso
@@javierriveram1988 Cuando yo comencé a escuchar a "Yess", llamado entonces "Rock sinfónico", tu no habías nacido. No comprendes demasiado el sentido de lo que es "conversar" de lo que deduzco que tienes una gran opinión de ti mismo. La referencia a "Jesús" nada tiene que ver con creencias religiosas, sino que era su traducción. Aunque los conozco de sobra aún los escucho y lo seguiré haciendo y por mi parte, asunto agotado.
@@raulaguilardiez957 yo empecé a escuchar a Yes a los 10 años, mi primer álbum fue el recopilatorio Yesterdays, la cual engloba los trabajos de los dos primeros álbumes 'Yes' y 'Time and a Word', si se digna a investigar un poquito la portada original de esos dos albumes claramente se escribe el nombre de la banda, no es hasta el quinto album (Close to the Edge) la cual utiliza el logo burbuja de Roger Dean, "pseudo-conocedor del Rock Sinfónico"
das ist ja furchtbar ... Ich blende den Text aus, dann ist es wunderbar - yes 🙂
Ich fand den Text auch erst sehr seltsam und krass, aber je mehr ich ihn verstehe, um so mehr mag ich das ganze Stück, es ist wirklich eine echte Schatzkiste
@@descantiano seltsame Texte sind bei YES normal. Ich musste das auch erst lernen :-)
früher, als ich gerade noch "don`t kill the Wale" verstanden habe, habe ich auf Texte nicht geachtet. Heute ist das schwierig. Aber insgesamt ist YES grossartige Musik.
I never thought I'd hear a Yes song with the word "crack" in it. How wrong. And how far they'd fallen. Of course, it's downright good compared to the new stuff.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your opinion. The lyrics of this song may not even match the peace lyrics we have always become accustomed to. But they spoke about a reality of life in a touching way that makes us reflect more on human beings in an invitation to solidarity. The musical quality is an overcoming and display of personal maturity by each musician with the reunion of a lineup that was one of the most successful in Yes' entire history.
Yes pushed boundaries, surely they can push their own.
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 definitely anti war but "burn their children's laughter" is no peaceful lyric
Since there are no founding members left in the band, and all that remains of the classic lineup is Steve Howe, I would like to see Yes move from "That That Is", to "Well, That's It".
They should've hung it up after Alan and Chris died.
@@TONE11111 Your opinion is noted.
I happen to think the splattered tomato on the Tormato album cover was a listener's first response to listening to the album.
Thats not how music and musicians work from the beginning. Their work is for foremost themselves. If we as the audience dont like it, we leave.
Besides: this is a musical band, not a marriage for life.
And, bills STILL have to get paid, as you might remember.
