*Lyrics:*
Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms
All around me
Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decide
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise
Lost on a wave that you're dreaming
Dram on, on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decided
Straight light moving and removing
SHARPNESS of the colour sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings
Of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that
Relates to all the words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the sun with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city
You shared the lyrics, but I am just as lost as before. Jon Anderson has said in an interview that some of their lyrics may have had some chemical influence/inspiration. I would include this song as one of the more chemically influenced songs in their repertoire.
@@jtostros Perhaps ... Abstract
Yes's ‘Heart of the Sunrise’ addresses one of the primary concerns of the counterculture: the alienation of the individual from humanity by the dominant consumerist, a plastic culture, represented by the city. In their expression of the effects of alienation, Yes expanded the musical vocabulary of rock, for while the allusive imagery of the song's text relates the locus of the protagonist and his being ‘lost’ amid the population of the city, the arrangement of the song and the purely instrumental passages lay bare the frustration of an individual unable to establish intimate, human relationships. Contemporary commentary on hippie perceptions of, and reactions to, mainstream culture provides a background to an analysis that demonstrates the descriptive power of the instrumental passages in this 1971 work. (Published online information by the Cambridge University Press: 08 September 2015)
@@MysticRhythmsLive Thank you for that thoughtful analysis! I don't think I would ever arrive at a similar interpretation from the lyrics as they are presented in the song, but I can see how your interpretation can fit the lyrics. Did the lyrical meaning of the song get discussed in an interview at some point?
@@jtostros My own interpretation of the song is similar to the one noted above which was published online by the Cambridge University Press on September 8, 2015. I'm pretty sure you can find in person interviews if you take the time to google the song and the band. Good luck!
Genial muito bom!!!!
I was friends with Chris. I worked with warner elektra,atlantic back then. RIP i miss him so much. Im 72 playing my Rickenbacker l bought in 1969. Chris bought his in 1964, he used to say to me "it played itself" god do l miss him. I sobbed when he died. I was so glad l got to take my young son to see him twice at the holluwood bowl,30 ft from the stage and at universal studio. My son is 34 now , we still talk about hearing his Rick live.
You could most definitely tell it was Rick when ya heard a Yes song you weren't familiar with.. sorry for the loss of your friend, we all miss him..
I met Chris in Monterey CA when he was doing the Chris Squire experiment. I remember shaking his huge hand. I still kick myself for not bringing my Ric to the club for him to sign.
Fantastic journey
I have a question for you if you don't mind about Rickenbacker bass guitars.. is it true you need to use flat wound strings and not round wound.. I remember a bassist telling me that in the late 70s.. I believe he actually said you "CAN'T" use a round wound string for whatever reason.. I figured if anyone knew it would be you.. I'm asking because my friend found one in a pawn shop and he's gonna have to resting it ...
@@randytrader3026 Rotosounds all the way!
Just another display of why Geddy Lee held Chris Squire in such high regard.
a million years will pass by, but there will never be another Yes.
Da haste Recht, Yes gibt's nur einmal! Ich glaube, die Welt wird sie erst richtig entdecken, wenn sie nicht mehr sind und mir graut ein bisschen vor Yes-Musicals oder Pop-Söngchen mit gesampelten Yes-Melodien , wie es heute üblich ist, ein bisschen was aus alten Songs zu klauen...🙄
Watching this in 2023 - 20 years after it was made, itself 30 years after the original - still amazed.
Over 50 years since the original you mean. I was 15 when I bought the Fragile album in 1971 and I still have it, along with an original vinyl of Close to the Edge signed by the artist Roger Dean.
Honestly saw Yes a minimum of 85 times throughout my life. Can't put into words what this music meant to me growing up.
That’s a lot of LSD!
RIP Chris Squire and drummer Alan White. This was a superb performance.
RIP Alan White... he sits forever on the Jedi High Council of Rock, just like everyone in this legendary band.
Is he dead too? Wow. Didn’t know.
I'm so glad to have seen Chris the year before he passed. I have some great images of him. Genius is an understatement for him and the classic Yes lineup.
Worlds greatest bass player hands-down
David Scally Jr He definitely is the man on bass! So much of the Yes sound is driven by Squiers melodic, up front bass lines. Thanks for commenting!
Been playing the bass for what, 45 odd years, worked hard, real hard, NEVER been able to come close to this man apart from his simplest lines ( ? ). Pure torture.
Seen every gig they did in Montréal. Always FULL house and some. Amazing.
Studied McCartney, got a Hoffner violin, cool, got it. Looked, listened to, damn, what's his name, ah yeah, John Illsley from Dire Staits... Low profile. Interesting style. Not obvious with Knopfler. Got it.
And so on and on. Obsession. Squire ? Not even close. Maddening. My mentor, my exuberant hero. Gone way too soon. Sad. :(
R.I.P. my friend
Sorely missed.
I agree & R.I.P.
His playing was top notch and his tone was incendiary.
A group like this can't happen again, and I'm trying hard not to cry.
2003 It's intense to think how many times chris, steve, alan, Rick and Jon played this song together I'm a YES freak and have listened to Fragile thousands of times but; These guys had played this song live for over 30 years at this point...tens of thousands of times; And it's always a great performance too...This recording is their most "phoned in" playing of it; and it's still almost perfect...Saw them in the round here in philly at the spectrum late 70's..One of the highlights of my concert going life...
Alan and Chris are now performing together again… Rest Peacefully Alan…
Chris Squire has been my hero since I heard the first YES record 55 years ago. I was 13 at the time. Yes, I'm that old.
That Rickenbacker bass looks like a mandolin in his hands. It's no wonder he achieved such power and expression in his playing. This song demonstrates his compositional and execution genius as well as any YES song, arguably the pinnacle.
Did he possess the fusion-like improvisational capabilities of someone like Jaco? Perhaps not, but Jaco would have killed for Squire's power and authority on the bottom end of any band he ever played in. Few have ever possessed this command - Squire is among the deities.
I used to think that Rickenbacker basses were kind of small until I realized that Chris. Squire was a really tall guy. I am not really a fan of Rickenbacker basses but Squire does get a fantastic tone.
Chris Squire is my hero. A talent beyond and a real cool funny guy! R.I.P Chris.
Chris played his bass like a lead guitar! Such an epic piece of music for them all. Steve was such an excellent addition to the band from the early line-up. Rick is just a classical performer then and now. Bill is an excellent percussionist and Jon's voice just adds to the all round sound of YES.
I am sure the likes of Mozart and Beethoven would have approved.
That's Allan White on Drums.
@@streamofconsciousness5826 Of course, Bill left in '72. Alan was a great drummer too though.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written by any band. Such great musicians
I have been following The Yes since I was 13! I’m now 67 and can’t get enough of the! I rarely miss a day without listening to them! I can’t count Ho many times I have seen them perform! Chris Squire was my favorite! God I miss him! He is beyond a doubt the Greatest Bass player in the World!
I’m 52. This is my favorite band of all time. Chris (RIP) was the soul of them, Jon the angelical voice and The Wizard Monster Wakeman out of this planet. Love them forever. ❤
Ditto!
I watched Yes's 1985 concert at Rock in Rio up close from the stage. I can say it was unforgettable, even without Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman. Squire's bass shook our chests, it was so powerful...
I also have to add that in the 55 years I have been listening to them there is no Yes without Jon Anderson on the vocals
Yep, the imitation Jon does not cut it!
I ve seen yes or Jon Anderson at least 40 times and J A version of YES is by far the Best
Chris Squire a bassist for a millenia and the planet alignment that was the one in a million improbable Yes
this is probably the best live register of them out there. best line up, perfect mix, fllawless editing.
R.I.P. Chris Squire
Great stuff from a great band. RIP to Chris and Alan... 😢
Chris and Alan were just so tight together. Fit perfectly from the start. I kind of started backwards through the yes catalog. Grew up in the 90125 days and worked my way backwards. The complexity of it all, especially the earlier music, drew me in for life. Each musician in the band was amongst the very best at their instrument. There will only ever be one Chris. Thank God for the memories of dozens of awesome concerts and mind blowing studio albums. Glad the music will continue to live on.
How can Yes not be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame!!
+D. Ray Lowe indeed, they got the best keyboard play and bassist in the world, and one of the best guitar players
RRHOF generally doesn't like progressive rock.
Sucks, but i doubt we'll ever see Yes in there
Firemang 880 they already got inducted this year
Too big for that!
Chris Squire was to the bass guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to guitar. Just an otherworldly force!
Jimi‘s bass playing is also fire, just saying😂
I saw them in Edinburgh in the early 70’s twice. I remember 2 things vividly. The first concert was in a fairly small venue (The Empire Theatre) and when Chris played I felt I had been kicked in the stomach. I’ve only ever experienced that emotion once since (and I spent nearly 15 years doing lighting for bands all over the place) but the second time was in the Usher Hall. We were studying Photography at a local college and we blagged our way in to the sound check to take some pics. God only knows why to this day but they let us in. The band were obviously bemused by a couple of long haired clueless youngsters who were more stage struck than keen to take pictures but they were kindness personified - Chris in particular I remember. From then, I was hooked on Yes and have never stopped loving their music. The various splits etc throughout the years have been tragic but Chris’s death and then Alan Whites death felt like the end of an era.
Squire is the reason I fell in love with YES. That bass so prominently featured in their songs has always been killer to me.
Fantastic musicianship & then there is that Vocal , they are beyond mere words !
This will always be the quintessential YES line up their virtuosity never exceeds their passion for every note 🙌🏼🙌🏼
How I miss the 70s, how influential Yes have been for people of my generation, musicians or not.
These were the anthems of my youth and it never gets old.
AMEN
Ageless, timeless. As a kid of 14 in 1974 I used to drift off to sleep listening to Yes in my bedroom. What a wonderous musical journey I had. Still play their albums now, and try to play along on bass. Mastered many sections, (by ear), but never played a full 10 minutes without an 'aww f@ck'. Chris was an awesome talent. I really miss him.
This performance perfectly showcases the immense talents of each member. Bravo! Bravo!
My favorite band of all time so tight making such beautiful music Jon Anderson voice of an angel
Yes. Close to the Edge. My first concert. Hard to top that!
Another great classic from the Montreaux festival. Here we have Chris(RIP) pointing his enthusiasm to make his mark in the opening. Another great live performance from the Fragile album. Yet sung and performed very close to the album version.
The 1973 live album YESSONGS, has the best recording of this song. It captured his iconic Rickennacker sound the best. When l worked at warner elektra,atlantic we sold it by the pallet load. I still remember the album number SD 3-1
I saw this tour in Philly... and it was amazing! Jon's voice seems to have gotten better with age!
This is inspiration for all musicians out there to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. They have obviously put in there time. So much feeling also.
Holy crap, that was special. RIP Chris.
What a Great Band, Jon singing 30 years later a song heard hundreds if not thousands of times by everyone in that audience. Tough one. Great Job, and the mix was great as well.
My favorite band of all time!!!!
What a great memory for me…thank you for posting this phenomenal band! And Chris is greatly missed as are too many Lately. We were all so fortunate to grow up in a time with music such as this was made! God I miss those days
One of the most beautiful sings ever written nobody sings like Jon Anderson
One of those rare things in life that touches your very soul.....Yes Music! Thank you.
How these guys pulled this off in concert is beyond me. I never saw these guys in concert. I regret it everyday.
I was lucky to see them three times. Once with Moraz, once with Wakeman, once with Downes. All were excellent.
I'm just appreciating them now, and I'm 68!! how stupid was I. I agree, to pull that off live, you have have to be really outstanding.
@@glennmcgeoch6648 wow you saw 3 different approaches to yes music
Sin pantallas, sin lasers, sin humo, sin cuerpos voladores...solo música, ¡y qué música! ¡y qué sonido en directo!
Es sierto Hermano! Pure musicianship!
Crazy that this was 20 years agop now... Still missing Chris and Alan. RIP
My first concert with Yes was 6 21 74 Hollywood bowl.. unbelievable I'm still in awe...vsaw them again with Trevor Rabin awesome but still not Yes..
@@billee529 I love the Rabin era Talk was a fabulous album - just as I love the Patrick Moraz playing on Relayer - it all got a bit messy at the end there were SO many people involved for brief stints and different singers... and keyboard players... and bassists too... though Geddy at rge Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame performance of Roundabout was a fitting tribute... RIP chris and Alan. It was pure magic in their heyday.
Saw them play this the year before in Clearwater Fla, simply amazing as was the entire Full Circle tour performance 😊😊😊
The great Chris Squire - the only bass player who has me reaching for the pick.
Unbelievable how professional these musicians play. Each of them. Rest in Paradise Chris.
and now , Alan
I'm 56. Glad I had two older brothers with tons of albums in the house.
Having heard/seen (on YT) most of the iterations of Yes, this here is the most pure, killer combination that yields incredible band chemistry.
How can you comment on this ?! Other then incredibly beautiful combination of talents .!
Nothing on radio compares today !!!!
last great tour RIP alan and chris
Glad to see most of the original personnel. Comes off good in that way.
Only Jon Anderson and Chris Squire were original members.
It never gets old, now does it.
fantastic music from a fantastic band,still listening to them after 40 years!
Chris was a magician. The best ever. RIP
Squire was an outstanding musician... all of the band were, but Chris was so very gifted. Unique and humble as any genius that ever played the electric Bass. R.I.P. Chris.
Thankful almost beyond description that i was alive and saw this band live several times. This Montreux show is a gift to humanity. RIP Chris Squire. Longtime friend.
Yes is/ was so AMAZING! 5 spirits together. Oh to watch the flying fingers and drumsticks. But close your eyes and listen.. Life and purpose. We, mankind, Planet earth was blessed by Yes. Thank you for the video. Beautiful.
The best of rock took place From the mid sixties to the 70's decade. The musicianship you had those days hasn't been surpassed.
Chris Squire is the only individual ever to play lead bass.
Absolutely perfect 😂😂🎸🎸
Jack Bruce could also.
Cassidy and Entwistle as well🎸🎸
@@bobbygriz5648 Neither Casady or Entwhistle played 'lead bass,' but both great musicians, Entwhistle, in particular, was a genius, and in many aspects, his 'wall of sound style', allowed Keith Moon to get away with being a showman, even playing the role of lead drummer, with his constant drum rolls stealing the limelight.
I taught him how to do that.
Chris Squire, a true master at work! RIP✌️❤
Out of all the line-ups Yes has had throughout the years, no other can match this one in terms of musicianship and charisma on stage
BEST group of all times......peace my friend..its with heavy heart i bid thee farewell...ill see u in the next phase...many memories to treasure....thanx......
Squire was phenomenal!!!
He was a legend..
Played it well after all these years!
Only Squire can make a bass look like a ukulele!
Props out to all the others, but... Chris Squire!!!
God bless you Chris !! xx. Greatest bass player of all time , easily !!
Great Yes performance. Anderson just wonderful.
My love for music started listening to these geniuses! Thanks guys! 🎧♥️🎶🎧
c'est vraiment un groupe de dingues, je n'ai jamais vu mieux en terme de recherche musicale et d'émotions ressenties, cette musique est réellement mystique!
I have the feel that's a bit slower than the original, but much more refined and precise in playing. One of my very favorite Yes' songs, which I first listened on the triple live album... "Yessongs"!
Chris Squire....Wow!!! Miss You
IMHO, Chris Squire and John Entwistle are the two Bass Gods of all time. They both were on a higher plane.
That they were. RIP
@@MysticRhythmsLive so John Wetton... And Greg Lake
Howe, Squire, Wakeman what bunch of superb musicians
Chris was a beast. That Rick looks like a ukulele in his hands. Miss the fish. R.I.P. CHRIS
Chris Squire was probably one of the best ever to play the bass.
he was the best and even still
Probably?
Never be another yes all great musicians saw many times brilliant live rip Chris and Alan
Brilliant, but someone forgot to the tell the camera crew to keep a camera on Chris S at all times - that's where the magic happens!
First live concert March of 1974. Incredible band.
I've had the pleasure of seeing this band live 3 times. Once in the late 1970's then in the late 1980's and again in 2015
Nobody overplaying. Each musician putting the music first and doing so brilliantly.
I have to say thanks to Yes for writing this song.
What great memories I have of all the Yes shows! Most unique band ever! Miss Chris!
Wow. That guitar battle of Steve's vs Rick's synthesizer was awesome!
Thank you for the music. Without question, you will live on through your art. It is timeless.
My favorite Yes song, was lucky to see them live several times in the 70s when I was in high school.
One of my all time favorite progressive rock bands!!!!! These guys were so far ahead of their time. Just incredible.. What a body of work they created....
I got to see these masters in concert back in the day --- each one of them a master craftsman---MASTER! And Jon's voice was/is unreal... His high notes were amazing..... He could get up there and stay there! EPIC band.
Magical years they were, always makes my neurons realign to that time
Imao Howe is the ultimate all around guitarist of the 70s
A timeless masterpiece.
1:14 Chris Squire magical intro, great sense of timing, with attitude 🤘
Jon hitting those hi notes at the end at his age!!!!
The art to drumming this is...to take your time. I am now applying what Bill & Alan taught me in playing the cello. I do find it hard to keep my feet at peace though.
Jon Anderson just has an angelic voice and I thank those above who gave it to him.
