    The album is called City to City (Scottish city and London). At this time in his life he was embroiled in a lawsuit with his old record company and band for Stealers Wheel. As such he had to frequently travel to London to speak with his lawyers, while in London he would visit a friend (also a musician) who lived on Baker Street they would drink and jam the night away and in the morning he would catch the train back to Scotland. Bakers street is a very famous street in London (the fictional Sherlock Homes lived at 221b Bakers St.) It's his friend that probably will not give up the booze and one night stands because he is a rolling stone. However, Gerry also had a drinking problem, he would die from a bad liver. I've always considered this song to be jazz fusion (a fusion between rock and jazz, which became popular in the late 1970s).

    Please, please...do not change a thing..As someone who grew up with music starting in the 50's, it hurts my soul when other reactors continually pause to talk about it when they haven't heard the full song yet or else they talk while it's playing. They miss so much of the feel of the song. Some even begin sermonising about some subject that isn't even related to the song. I sometimes think they are just doing the videos so they can hear themselves talk. So very annoying to me. Your channel is so refreshing and one of a very few who respect the music enough to let it play out. Good on you! and many thanks.

    This song was written by Gerry as he was travelling to and from Scotland to London to lawyers offices to deal with the Stealers Wheel band split, he wrote a few songs on the train journeys. There was a long standing argument about who wrote the solo that was eventually done on saxophone. The sax player Raphael Ravenscroft claimed it was his work, but this was later found to be untrue because Gerry had originally done the solo on guitar. Raphael Ravenscroft received 20 pounds for his solo but the cheque bounced. R.I.P Gerry Rafferty 1947 - 2011, Rip Rapheal Ravenscroft 1954 - 2014.

    If this song doesn't bring tears to your eyes ... gets me every time.

    Music CAN and WILL do this to you! It can take you back to a long forgotten memory. It can fill you with emotion, it can spark your imagination. You can close your eyes and your head fills with images. It can inspire you, it can give you hope, it can take you away! Music IS MAGIC!

    Everyone always talks about the sax solo in this song, and rightly so, but the little guitar solo Gerry, pronounced Jerry, throws in there is pretty darn slick too.

    Agreed...very emotional and uplifting sax solo. Takes me back to the 70's every time.I must say that one of the most profoundly emotional and inspirational sax solo's I've heard is from the "Big Man" in Bruce Springsteen's song Jungleland. I recall a person once stating that it had saved his life during a rough period. I'd recommend the studio version for 1st listen. Something for you and Dee. Plus, has she ever heard the sax in Money by Pink Floyd? Another great one.

    Dee, you're right retro music just had that realness in the sound that makes you imagine things and takes you on a journey. BTW you are very creative. You could have created a very good and fitting music video for this song. You really do just get retro music!

    I was hoping to catch you Chod today.....I didn't know Yes made an album in 1994....I didn't know, man.....I was in You Tube and You Tube brought up things that I might want to see or listen to.....and this album from Yes entitled, "Talk" came up....so i said let me click on this album and see and listen to Yes in 1994...right? Bro....Bro.....I was Blown AWAY!!!! Every track was GREAT!!!!! I had tears in my eyes of Joy and Ecstasy because it was sooooo good....A Masterpiece.....so I got on it and request every Reactor on You Tube who like Yes to listen and react to the album, "Talk." It has been 7 months.....since anybody has reacted...You my friends could be the second reactors to react to this album or this song "Endless Dream" on this album titled, "Talk."......sooooo underrated in the Age of Hip-Hop and Rap.....no one young or old or middle age knows about this Incredible album or this amazing song "Endless Dream,"!!!!! And that whole album is "Heavy Metal meets Ambient and Funk" Hahahaaha...lol....hahahaha...It left me "Speechless" Great Reaction from Popenyco who was the first reactor after 7 months of me requesting the song "Endless Dream" and the album "Talk" by YES.....and I Popnyco and other reactors will react to more songs on this "Talk" album from Yes released in 1994. I want you to react to the first two songs on the album "Talk." I want you to react to "The Calling" and "I'm Waiting."

    Kudos on being able to verbalize your journey. The guitar solo back into the saxophone straight up just glopped an alligator tear unchecked from my eye down to my shirt; I've heard this a million times and its still electric to me

    The wind instruments are the best in the business! I believe it starts with a flute, and transitions into a sax... It's the most beautiful sound ever! 😁

    This song is an australian anthem. Played it around my mum and she told me about the first time she heard it on the radio back in the day, smoking a joint barreling down a dirt road in a ute. Carefree 🤘

    It’s amazing, nobody seems to know what this song is about, but everybody loves the sax, and the guitar at the end.
