Chills. Every time. And I've heard this hundreds of times.
So glad to see people checking this stuff out! You're awesome, Tookie.
Jon Anderson (the lyricist/singer) explained the meaning of the song in this 2010 interview:
"... the idea of the lyric just coming out in a clear definition was basically what I was doing with “Starship Trooper go sailing on by.” For me, “Starship Trooper” was my higher self talking to me. “Sister Bluebird” - my higher self. It was my higher self saying “I know where you are, I’ve seen who you are, but I’m not going to tell you because you’ve got to discover it yourself”: “Though you see me, please don’t tell a soul.” What I haven’t seen, I can’t tell. It’s not very whole until I’ve seen it. So it’s all metaphors. That’s when I went through that very strong period of just sketching and writing whatever I sang as being a state of consciousness."
(You can read the interview on the web, Music Street Journal, interviewed by Scott Montgomery.)
LOL i remember the first time i heard YES in the 70s "roundabout" i got hyped like this. now see why there simply called "YES" thats all you can say..To me there is all the great bands over the years then theres YES !!! There the Bach or Beethoven of our age😁😎
I've seen YES six times in concert. It's truly incredible to see their performances! My first concert in 1976 was YES at the Inglewood Forum in LA. Seeing them live is so much different.....better that is. Glad we have these recordings to hear. Great reaction!
Second greatest band in the entire world, ever.
@@am-fil #1 The Beatles?
@@edf13 I don't even like the Beatles. Lol. Rush!
@@edf13 #3 Kansas.
@@am-fil can these two bands not get a joint win here
Great song and great reaction. And thanks for not stopping it every few seconds!
Tom Brislin blowing up on the Keyboards. ....Absolutely Brilliant.
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. Saw Chris and Yes 36 times. May I suggest a love song called Turn of The Century. Enjoy your Yes journey.
Awesome and genuine reaction, Tookie, to some of the finest music made in the last 50+ years! The lyrics don't mean anything in particular...but the more you grow to love the song, the more sense they will make to you! Steve Howe and Chris Squire are superb musicians and help, with Jon Anderson on vocals, to formulate that distinctive YES sound. Wakeman and Bruford / Moraz and White (keyboards and drummers) who also are superb musicians...but, for me YES will always be Anderson Howe and Squire plus drums plus keyboards. Explore more of Yes, Tookie - there is so much beauty out there! And, yes - Rush are the son of YES!!!
The Starship Trooper goes sailing on by. Catch my soul. Catch the very light. As it sailed by did it catch your soul and take you on your journey because having listened to this song for over 40 years this is what it means and does to me.. 😊
Original Yes keyboard man was Rick Wakeman!! These are not only great musicians / song writers, but great Artists!!! They paint with sound and motion!!!! Rick is alive at age 73 today! If you want to hear his work it is in all the albums Yes made. Also, check out his various keyboard works in the solo album , "Journey To The Center Of The Earth".
Rick Wakeman joined Yes on keyboards after the original man on keys , Tony Kaye , left the band.
:)...Nice to see a YES reaction...Greatest prog band in the genre...Yes is light; Absorb their music, it will give you much peace...Subbin etc... :)...Tookie Tookie was the bird in George of the Jungle...Cool bird and you're a cool Reactor......:)
Space travel set to music by one of the many great groups of the seventees yes have their own very unique style in sycadelic progressive rock i first listened to this way back then which led me to buying four more of their albums it sounds just as good today as it did then great reaction loved every minute of it
Alright! Note of interest: Steve Howe their guitar player is extremely respected. In the 70's he was voted in the Guitar Player Magazine ( a tech magazine) reader's poll best in the overall catagory 5 years in a row and taken out of the competition. This performance didn't show his energy.
Im younger than him and dont have his energy
Steve Howe kept his style as diverse as possible, even learning the pedal steel guitar. While I was aware that there was something like Ragtime guitar style, Steve Howe is the only guitarist I heard play in that style. Everybody knows The Entertainer on piano, but to this day, except for some shorter works Howe played on a solo tour, Clap is the only Ragtime guitar piece I've ever heard.
First-timers might like the studio version better. Or not, but give it a listen, the studio version melody is more precisely presented.
The same thing they did with Neil Peart of Rush, they left him off and people still voted for him #1 one year. 😆 🥰
@@batman1169 I am sure John Bonham of Led Zeppelin kept him out on Number 1 a few times. heh.
You have my upmost respect
yes is like the EINSTEINS of rock.they generally leave you with more questions, than answers.
@Tookie Tookie This reaction video was the first of yours I’d ever come across. I fell instantly in love with your personality and reactions. You’re deep enough to appreciate what you’re hearing. And for me, your reactions remind me why I love the songs I do. It’s like hearing the songs through fresh ears. It gives me even further appreciation. As a bonus, your appearance is very easy on the eyes. Aka you’re gorgeous. Come see me in Seattle and I’ll take you out for a lovely dinner. 😀
Great reaction. You're looking gorgeous Tookie! Not too many people wearing masks in chicago. Seems like more people wearing masks in Cali. On to 2K subs Tookie!
Hey Tookster great reaction mate, great choice great band these guys are absolute legends 👍
Who writes music like this anymore, Justin Bieber I don't think so, Taylor Swift nope, any modern singer no?
Awesome reaction
Absolutely Awesomely Amazing
The ending section you loved is called "The Wurm"..
God bless u for listening to this
From the same concert with that symphony orchestra is a twenty minute performance called The Ritual: Nous Sommes Du Soleil." I think that song may be the greatest live performance ever.
YES, "STARSHIP TROOPER" BEAUTIFUL THE PERFECT RENDITION ! Another Band, TRAFFIC, "THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS"... AN ALL TIME CLASSIC SONG...
I’m 60. I’m white. What a blessing to watch you listen to this. King live the 70’s!
I live in Milwaukee. 50% wearing masks as I write this Tookie. As I go farther out from the city, no one is wearing masks. Sad. August 20, 2022
Nice reaction 😊😊👍
Great reaction to a great band.
'Roundabout'. please 🙏🙏🙏
Siberian Khatru is probably best rock out however I love Release Release.
Yes will bring you a higher love.
Personally, I tend to prefer studio versions of songs as they are more of what a band is trying to achieve. There are obvious limitations in this regard with any live performance.
Yes is one group that is infinitely better live than they are in the studio
Best live version of this is from YesSongs
This vid came from Yes's symphonic tour with an orchestra. Saw it twice.
you aint seen nuttin yet, wait till you hear close to the edge
Jon, on that riser...reminds me of Lord of the Rings.
He is kind of hobbit-ish.
Yes a little Hobbit with the amazing voice!
I wish you would have played the YesSongs version!
The song is essentially about small town mentality.
The narrator is addressing a traveler that passes through his settlement, and asks him to “sail on by. you might know a lot about the world, but please keep that information to yourself because I don’t want to know. I’m comfortable with my simple life in my little bubble, and I don’t want my bubble to change.”
It's a take, I suppose, but Jon did give an interview about what he wrote, and ... well, let me just say, I like the lyricist's explanation better.
TH-cam is funny. Your video just came up on my page. Hope you're doing well.
Same in nj
R.I.P., Chris Squire.
If this is going to be your first time listening to this song you should have gone with the Yes album, sublime.
Studio versions my dear....
Damn, that’s a sista I need, like, asap.
Not bad for a 50 year old tune.
Steve Howe is the greatest guitarist on the planet
Ur name?
Masks off in Texas
I never wore a mask im in the hospitality state we love Freedom we did not take kindly to mandates so it didn't last too long. Yet the infections never really exploded like other states. Now I was one of the first time I catch covid in February 2020 before the crazy tyrannical political bulls@it took off had me down about 2 weeks but I had regular flu's worst than that. The crazy thing to me is before covid you could not GI into a store with a mask on but after covid you could not go into a store without one.. Crazy
