"Full of little treats and surprises ." Yes, for a listener as sophisticated as Lex.
Lex's exuberance is so infectious. Love her reactions. This song was a smash when it came out. I couldn't believe it was Yes.
Rather different with Trevor Horn involved.
it's a game - overlaid, interlaid.... you know something is coming but not what! Best description of prog ever! Yes, it's a fun game! :) Great reaction! Lex nails it again!
Waiting for reaction of Zappa or Gentle Giants!
Why do I get the feeling that Lex is simply the most fun in a, er , romantic context? Waiting in excitement & anticipation for all those little thrills & chills ... Lovely lady!
Overlaid and Interlaid is better than Underlaid!
Agreed
Lex always gets it, & Brad, well, just doesn't... 😂
This was one of the first songs that used digital sampled sounds (those orchestra hits) as an instrument (on the synthesizer). It was new back then and caught us all by surprise just like it did for you today 😁
Check out Art of Noise - their producer also produced this Yes album, which was much a great & also a big departure for Yes after decades of great progressive music. Art of Noise made huge use of sampled "hits" and has additional random connections to Buggles, Asia & Hans Zimmer.
I had no idea.. thank you.
Both comments I didn't know.
Yeah, it was considered ultra cheesy and was not used for long. Sigh. Trevor Rabin. The guitar solo on this song is also on a lot of "worst of" lists for guitar solos.
Lonely is much better than a broken heart. Just anyone with a bunch of experience.
Brad said, “ they both suck”.
True that.
Lex's expressions looked like she totally approved of every note and the musical arrangement, almost like a musicgasm for her...LOL .
Love, love, love this song. Awesome band all around. A lonely heart is just a lonely heart. But a broken heart is both.
changes is also a good song by them
@@TheConservativeinaction, yeah, that's on the same album. That whole album is great: "90125".
“‘Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all”.
@brianwilson49 You beat me to it.
Owner of a broken heart is much better than an owner of a lonely heart is how the lyric goes.
Lex has to be a genius on some level for all the great things that come out of her
She would be an award winning producer. Great ear for music. She was born at the wrong time.
Agreed!! Love our lil Lex- and Brad too-😁
legit, called out manson as being industrial real quick too, smart!
Lex could be first class composer…or, Chief…or, anything with amount of talent and genuine joyousness.
her takes are always on spot. and fast.
What I learned after my wife-soulmate died in 2018 a broken heart and a lonely heart is the samething.. We was together since 1980 she stood behind me through all the hard times in the early days of the wild music biz. Never complained even with all my wild partying lifestyle. Hard to find a partner like that..
Yes is one of only a few bands whose live performances sound as good as their studio recordings. Their musicianship has remained impeccable, even through the passing of time.
Lex is so lovable and funny. She knows quite a bit about music, more than she let's on IMO. She has so much energy and passion in her soul. Brad is one lucky man. He has a gorgeous, funny, and intelligent woman as a wife.
Lex=🔥🔥🔥
1:23 "... Say you don't wanna chance it, You've been hurt so before ..." In-other-words, the lonely heart is step two after the broken, and that's why we know lonely is better than broken.
This whole album is killer.
A masterpiece from start to finish.
listen to the bass line. When you have a solid bass line the other instruments can do all kinds of things and the song will still hold together.
Facts!!
SO hypnotic... first thing I fell in love with
When South African guitarist Trevor Rabin joined Yes this was his first record with them. Basically took them over. He wrote and produced this gem.
Trevor Horn produced it and made key contributions.
@@KurtI2525 Horn liked the chorus and BEGGED the band to record the song. He hated Rabin's lyrics, which were just standard pop cliches. When Jon came in, he did his usual magic by changing the lyrics, although Horn still didn't like Jon's lyrics. He hated the line about the "eagle in the sky," but Jon wouldn't change it. So right after the line there's a gunshot. Horn says, "That's me shooting down Jon's eagle."
@billrowan734 It is well documented that Trevor Horn produced this song as well as the entire 90125 record.
This complete album is of highest quality, pick any song ... to suggest next one: "Changes"
a backbeat fest where everyone interact, give n take, duelling, meet up, hold up... short: it make you bounce between the walls.
Patterns, expected or not is what good music is about, and it comes with all these progressive oldschool bands in some way ♥
The patterns on the new Porcupine Tree single, Harridan, are oretty good
There are many phases of yes they've adapted to every era for over 40 years and their musicianship is top notch hopefully we hear more
There's something so amazing about watching people you really like, really enjoy music that you love.
The whole 90125 album is really an under-rated album. Way more prog than people give it credit for.
.........under rated by whom??
@@classic-kool People that rank Yes albums on youtube. Not by me i might add.
@@classic-kool Mostly by Yes fans that dismiss it as just 80s pop and not "real" Yes.
Yeah a lot of people dismiss it but it is top three IMO
@@Zundfolge That are the everything was better in the 70s guys. So annoying ...BTW there was a lot of trash pop in the 70s.
god I love her vibe, she just wanna have fun, I love her
I used to be one of those Yes fans who dismissed this album as a selling-out of the once-great band. But it's grown on me a LOT over the years. The prog touches are definitely lessened and more subtle...but they're absolutely there and elevate 90125 well above most of the standard 80s pop that it otherwise superficially resembled. And the mastering is top notch - a VERY well crafted album.
By the by, Lex's enthusiasm and giggle are ridiculously contagious. :)
I have to agree. There are so many discussion and forum posts about how this was the yes "sellout" album, how this isn't "true" yes, that Trevor Rabin ruined the band with this album... and I can't disagree with them more. 70's era prog-rock had run its course at the time this album came out. The 80s were about innovation in instrumentation, production techniques, melding wildly varying musical influences into something new and, in many cases, absolutely breathtaking. It's popular now to disregard 80s music as plastic and sterile when the spirit was everything but that. This album, in particular, was a breath of fresh air for a 70s prog powerhouse that was adrift and floundering as the new decade began. The production is top tier, the songwriting is interesting, the performances are flawless. There is so much nuance and playfulness, and watching Lex react with surprise and joy to the various changes just cements for me how timeless music really is, regardless of the ebb and flow of contemporary sensibilities.
Everybody "SOLD OUT" in the 80s. BUT, it was a different time. Prog would not have survived in the 80s. Rabin kept this band going until they could get back to their prog roots. Endless Dream ended the Yes West lineup and it was a perfect progression back.
Yes has been around forever and have a ton of hits. I saw them in concert about 20 years ago and every song they played had been a hit on the radio. They also have some live concerts on TH-cam that are amazing.
Saw yes at MSG back in 1980, when they came out with this album. They used to have a round stage, that rotated around. Everyone had a good seat.
This album came out in 1983.
1980 was Drama - the album before this one.
The round stage was 1978-79
@@frankmarsh1159 ok, thanks. I'm 62, so 78-79 is sort of like 80 for me. haha
@@ptrlxc Thanks
I do really enjoy you guys reactions' can see the happiness you both have for each other.
I love this album. I was just thinking J Geils and Yes were some of the best rock bands at adapting to new wave.
I've seen Yes twice in my life. Once at the UIC Pavillion in Chicago for their Union Tour. That's when they had all of the former band members touring with the new lineup. It was an awesome show, there were two drummers and the stage was in the center of the audience! They jammed this song.
14 times here, from their 1974-1975 "Relayer" tour until they replaced Jon Anderson in 2008.
I know of 1 guy on TH-cam that has seem them 102 times.
Now THAT is a fan.
So, of course, King Crimson had to top that with 3 drummers for their last show.
One of my fav bands of all time! I have all their albums to this day! Seen them live 3 times back in the 70's and they were fantastic 2 hours of music.
Excellent song. Great reaction by Lex as per usual. 'musically wild' by Brad spot on.
Check out the actual music video. There are three versions of the music video, all featuring the surrealistic storyline about an abducted man (played by actor Danny Webb) who eventually transforms into an eagle. The longer version opens with the band playing the song before changing to a storyline (after a non-musical and silent passage). The shorter version omits the footage of the band performing. There's also a shorter version (4min27sec, in some promotional copies listed as "Chris Squire's Version") released in November 1983, which alternates more between the band and the storyline.
"Leave It" is BY FAR the most unique Yes song... That's REALLY saying something for such a unique band.
That was a disappointing follow up to Owner of a Lonely Heart.
@@brianezell5790 that's your opinion. I always think of "leave it"
It does something for me.
@@rohe4077 not just my opinion but the public’s at the time. It was nowhere near the hit that “Owner of a Lonely Heart” was.
@@brianezell5790
Yes. A public opinion of shepherded thoughts.
In short, sheep thoughts.
@@brianezell5790
To me, it was something I never heard before. It was exciting. It still is.
I've always thought this song was intended to be paired with another song from the same album ("90125") - "Changes". The two take different ways of looking at the same event. And if you think this one is complex with its "sprinkles" of musical decoration - the intro to "Changes" will send you into the stratosphere!
th-cam.com/video/omhNnvX3Sx0/w-d-xo.html
Also from this album - the vocals on "Leave It" are complicated and fun!
th-cam.com/video/8-hJFoSgXfM/w-d-xo.html
Those “random sounds” are thanks to the production genius known as Trevor Horn. He practically created the 80s sound and his songs are always a treat with the headphones.
Yes is one of my all time favorite bands! This is later music from them, but their earlier work was as good or better. Through all the various iterations of the band, they were always one of the most complex and artistic and talented bands ever. I was lucky to see then live twice, including this tour. Lex nailed it, about the layers and complexity! Loved it!
Changes by yes is another great one.
When you get to "Close to the Edge" we'll see how well you guys appreciate a masterpiece of progressive rock. Then "The Gates of Delirium", "Awaken" and lots more.
I love 'Close to the Edge' . There is a lot of Yes material that might be a challenge for a modern audience.
one of the most iconic power chord riffs of the last 50 years...
I don't know why I never thought about this before. But, there's actually another song on this album simply called Hearts (plural) and in it, there's a line that says, "Two hearts are better than one." So, if you're willing to risk the broken heart, you can end up better off than a lonely heart. I'd recommend checking out that song. It's full of musical twists and turns (which symbolize the twists and turns of a life-long relationship) but, like all good Yes songs, it's amazingly cohesive. The official music video for Owner of a Lonely Heart is freaky. Dude gets hauled in by a couple of guys that look like they're from the CIA and he starts spazzing when he begins to have these scary split second visions of snakes, spiders, lizards, and scorpions that start to drive him toward a nervous breakdown.
"Leave It" from the same album is a fun one that will tickle your ears.
Can't wait for them to do that one, lol...such a fun song.
The acapella version is incredible.
@@TheCkent100 I was in a high school a capella choir when I heard that (b-side of Leave It 45!) I took it to our choir director wanting to do it! Too complicated to make an arrangement from scratch at the time. Now there are all these a cappella groups doing it AND there is sheet music for choirs like I was in. Needless to say I bought 90125 after that and Big Generator came out my senior year. I’m a Rabin girl! 😎
@@NoCanDu I have a video of the UCLA Scattertones (I think you can find it on YT) doing it, they do a GREAT job of it. I think they had to include a backing track(s) to make it work, but it did. It was from a while back now, perhaps ten-ish years. Look for it, it's worth a listen, they had fun with it and it turned out great.
@@NoCanDu P.S. Just read the rest of your comment, we're the same age; I discovered them with Big Generator my senior year. :) P.P.S. Check out Rabin's "Anerley Road," it's amazing.
Lex: “I get a jolt of excitement”….. Viewers: We get a jolt of excitement from Lex!
Yes she's so cool, energetic, she awareness that she has of the true musical, vibes, energy 💪🤗💯, both Left and Right they are a true Tandem, of musical awareness.
whats a jolt? European here ^^
@@blackwolf4653 A jolt would be like someone pushed or shoved you abruptly, possibly knocking you down; as Lex stated, perhaps like an shock!
@@blackwolf4653 The word is usually used in the context of "a jolt of electricity" either stated explicitly or implied. Rarely used otherwise these days.
That was a great reaction to this song.Thank you both.
I've watched a lot of your videos and I just realized how Brad focuses on the lyrics (left brain) and Lex focuses on the music( right brain). You two really do complement each other.
Car stereo contests were a common thing when this song came out, and this song was used all the time. It really tested the quality of your sound system... especially the speakers.
You guys should react to…
Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace
🎸🤘
That live Beat Club version of it is absolute 🔥!!
great song
You two have such a great yin/yang chemistry for reactions. Brad more towards the lyrical meaning, and Lex more towards the pure musical vibe...Yet both appreciating the end result - the complete package. 👍
*Also - Correct answer is, indeed:
Broken heart.
As you said - At least that means you had some great times/great memories.
*Speaking from experience / multiple heart-breaking "events". ;)
I'm so glad I became an adult in the 80s. We had so much fun and freedom it was insane
90125 such a great album; flows so well.
This album was "my first CD introduced to my boombox" haha. I'd say it's YES...but a different flavor of YES. Many liked it . And there are those who thought it strayed too far from their roots. I like it all personally. Check the song "Changes".
It always makes me happy when people get prog music, some people struggle with all the changes in tempo and melodies but if you give yourself over to the song and just allow it to take you on a ride it all makes perfect sense.
"It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all." Not my quote, but a good one.
Lexi is like a little nymph - very funny and Brad compliments her beautifully with his deep serious tone.
In this episode of Brad & Lex, Yes baby! The gritty guitar intro and quick synthesizer keys show up to the couch party essentially activating Lex's "pigeon bop" along with grins and giggles as the always analytical Brad plays the part of wallflower but not without participating of course. He let's us know he's in the building by showcasing his signature side to side sway".
This is way different than their progressive area in the 70s. Roundabout came out in 1971 while this song came out in 1983. yours is no disgrace and heat of the sunrise are some good songs to check out by yes.
Yep. When they added Trevor Rabin on guitar and vocals the band went more mainstream. While catchy, I prefer the old "out there" stuff like "Siberian Khatru" and "Sound Chaser".
@@ronaldmorgan7632 I remember as a kid going into a private wholesale record store when this album came out. The little album cover sized mini posters were everywhere...then I saw the cover of Fragile and the rest in the stacks, and correctly divined the album title's origin as the catalog number...I wondered why they went from awesome fantasy to boring grey numbers.
@@preciousroihomeshoppingnet7908 yeah i agree their older album covers were super cool, owner of a lonely heart is no where close to their 70s stuff but still has a catchy hook
@@TheConservativeinaction As an 10-11-year old kid who had been reading Tolkein for about a year prior obsessively...the 70s covers were like visual crack.
Dear lord, her energy and smiles... is a joy to watch, if only she could bop and jump and not sit so dang still...
"It is better to have Loved, and Lost, than Never have Loved at All".....Tennyson.
Lex's instincts are almost always so good. Brad is the complementary yin-yang to her yang-yin ...
It's so hard to get good sounds on guitar out of a pitch shifter but man he's a master of it.
they were one of the early bands to utilize sampling in their music, pretty sure they were using an australian made fairlight cmi synth with sampling capabilities
This is kind of the pop end of prog, but you also know how deep Yes can go! I would love to hear your reactions to Alan Parsons Project (The Raven perhaps), and more Supertramp (School and Bloody Well Right together as a tandem).
The singer, Jon Anderson, also did a couple of albums with electronic musician Vangelis. They're pretty good.
Stateof Independence! And then compare to Donna Summer's version.
You just know something is coming (but is doesn't always come) but when it does.....BAM! You love it. It juices it up. This swings.
Lex thinks like a musician, it makes them so much more enjoyable than any other reaction channel for me. Rock on
Its amazing how much good music is out there. I grew up on all this stuff. Cheers
I was so incredibly lucky to see Yes support this fantastic album. Chris Squire was unbelievable as well as the rest of the band...total professionals.
You're both really entertaining and great expositors of music. I love seeing young people groove on the music of my youth.
This is one of my favorite "later" Yessongs along with "Does It Really Happen" and "Lift Me Up". Yes totally reinvented their sound in the 80s when they added Trevor Rabin.
Great reaction!! This is an amazing underrated song. These guys are/were pioneers in progressive rock. You should check out Leave it, the extended cut....it's awesome.
The members of Rush grew up listening to Yes, Cream, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hindrix, and Genesis among other. All great stuff to check out. : ]
1983-84 was my sophomore year in high school. We carried the big boxes & played this song a lot.
We who have heard this wait to see her eyes ears nose shoulders and her pretty smile when it hits that place in your soul!
The vibes of OG Terrain vibes from Starcraft in this song. Fills my heart with 2001 joy.
I just love you guys! Lex, I knew when you said you liked all the different things that come up, that you’d love the crazy change coming. It’s such fun watching you young ones, when we know what’s coming next… to see you react. We truly had the best music and I’m GLAD you guys are discovering fun music!
"It's better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all."
This era of Yes produced some really great tunes... Hold On, Leave It, Changes, Owner of a Lonely Heart. The whole 90125 album is worth listening to from start to finish.
This was them in their 80s form lol do more 80s with some Billy Ocean and more Wham! 👍
Sonically, this was _cutting edge,_ in 1983. Digital sound was in its infancy, and the effects it gave us was _freaking out_ all our ears. Today it can sound a bit over done, but at the time it was all brand spankin' new; so we were, like, Bring it _ONNN._ Musicians would buy the latest $$ electronic box, and almost any button they pushed would give a sound no one had ever heard before. :^> We were giddy on it for almost a decade, until Nirvana came along and told us it was time to chill with all the sound effects.
Yes has a wonderful sound and many great songs, love their music, good job guys, thank you for sharing!
I grew up with Yes! I was a teen in the 70s and saw them in concert! Blew my mind! They put on a hell of a show!
Yes is such an amazing band! They have a forever catalog of hits. Big Generator is a good one! I now understand for sure that LEX would LOVE to have good Beck songs in her life. They are CHOCK FULL of surprises of goodness!
Having heard this song hundreds if not thousands of times including live when it was new, this is so funny watching you two.
Enjoy the whole heart while you have it… love it mate,,,😃
First heard this one afternoon over the sound system in a coctail bar on the Fulham Road in London back in 1983. Had to go buy the album. Bought my first Yes album in Newcastle, Australia in late 1972... Close to the Edge...
I distinctly remember when this song came out in 1983 listening to it on my Pioneer sound system in my car. I blew up two sets of 6x9 speakers before I found some speakers by Bose that could handle the bass.
This is the same, consistent reaction, to your first reaction to “Roundabout”. The very definition of great music/musicians.
Steve Howe is a long time guitar virtuoso from back in the day. I remember him from Close to the Edge back in 1971.
Yes "Big Generator" with "Love will find a way" "Rhythm of love" "Shoot high aim low"
I've been skimming through your reactions the past few days. It is so great to watch the younger generation exploring music from my era (the 60's, 70's & 80's). Brad appears to be the studious one. Lex goes with the flow and it is an absolute joy to watch her reactions.
The iconic Eventide H3000 harmonizer on that guitar solo. Almost obnoxious, but used perfectly on this song.
"Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all." Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Lex comments empirical what comes to her ears. It is spontaneous but that’ it. Simplicity !
One of their best songs!! 🔥🤟🔥🎼❤️ You two are just so much fun to watch!! I love y’all 🤟♥️
I loved dancing to Yes. This song is so brilliantly dynamic it just pushes energy into your body.
Lex will love Yes forever as they always have treats and surprises! God bless you both. Makes me feel younger at 52 to see others love what meant so much to us.
I remember watching the video premiered on MTV (back when we got music instead of manure in that channel). I feel fortunate to see them for The Big Generator tour in a Meadowlands skybox
When I was a DJ always played this LOUD. Got most people up dancing. And air guitar.
“Gary! On the kick drum! Come come! On the kick drum! Tony!”
One of the dopest rock songs ever! The bass lines are sick! The guitar solos are insane. The Fairlight samples, Gated Reverb, and the whiz bang effects are the illest.
YES was one of the bands from the 60'+70's that didn't hit the 80's and crash, they heard it and and destroyed it :) great players
She is so so special in a good way
A lot of the little flourishes (including the drum parts in the opening and the middle) were done using a Fairlight computer, which was really popular back in the early-mid 80s (Def Leppard used it a LOT).
Lex, your reaction to this song is beautiful! Thank you!
Great reaction as always, you guys are perfects foils for each other, makes more some great reactions. Anyway keep it up guys, always enjoy the videos
