I heard this song when it first came out, so here's my take on the lyrical/musical message of the song: Anderson said the lyrics were inspired by Hermann Hesse's 1922 novel "Siddhartha", which charts a journey of self-discovery, so... It opens with the peaceful sounds of nature, followed by the chaos of individual life in human society, the search for spiritual enlightenment, the notion that it cannot be found in human society ("Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space, He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race, I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place"), and ending with the sounds of nature one again (the Buddhist idea of enlightenment as being one with nature). The end of the journey was thus there at the beginning, all along. Released in 1972; 50 years after the novel, and now 50 years ago, but still timeless.
One of the mind-boggling attributes of the band YES was their ability to pack a tremendous amount of *complexity* into their masterpieces, but without it ending up sounding like a muddle/blur of sound. They'd spend hours at the sound board perfecting the mix, which is abundantly evident in this all-time YES Masterpiece. That complexity is why YES' Masterpieces require _repeated_ listenings in order to appreciate the beauty of what they accomplished. I had listened to CTTE many dozens of times & would still hear something I hadn't noticed before re: how a couple of instruments played off of each other. That complexity is why YES' Masterpieces would remain "fresh" to my ears for many, many, many listenings. Each instrument is emphasized at the moment when it's supposed to be heard, so obviously a major component of CTTE is Chris Squire's dominant bass inspirations. The drummer & then the guitarist & keyboardist fit themselves in around those inspirations, which are often the soundscape against which the lead singer tells his story. (The keyboardist's role is minimal until a couple of massive solos which take your breath away.) When you've listened to CTTE a second time, you'll see why FIFTY YEARS AFTER IT 1ST WAS RECORDED new listeners are declaring that it is The Greatest Song they have ever heard. It's a musical creation that will generate a similar response from first listeners *100 years from now.* It is indeed timeless...
I think the fact that the instruments each had room to breathe has a lot to do with Eddie Offord’s amazing engineering, recording and mixing. For 1972 this is a sonic achievement.
A lot of prog fans say this is the best prog song by any band ever, I love it, it's perfect. My fave Yes album though is Going For The One, and the singer's (Jon Anderson) fave Yes song is Awaken from that album, mine too.
15:50 "What instrument is that?" That's a Minimoog model D synthesizer. Probably the most famous synthesizer, prolifically produced for touring keyboardists in the early '70s, well-used by Rick Wakeman over the church organ. It's an icon of rock history, as is Grumpy Old Rick.
Chris Squire (R.I.P.) played bass, he was one of Geddy Lee's biggest influences. Yes was inducted into the R&R hall of fame after Squire passed and they asked Geddy to play with them.
FINALLY reached a pinnacle point in PROG HISTORY. This was the groundbreaker that blew the roof off of our teenage brains. Every member is firing on all their 5 cylinders! YES music is very intricate in many ways. Chord changes, Key & Rhythm changes within cyclic Polyrhythms creates a multi-layered vortex of sound that takes you into a journey that's Momentous & Relentless !!!! Good solstice season epic during the holiday! It's amazing how every new listener says that this song changes time!
I bought this album the day it came out when I was 13 years old and I also completely agree with you. It probably is the greatest song ever written. They do everything right. A real crowdpleaser at parties when I went to high school. Everybody liked them. Girls and guys.
Live, Yes does this perfectly. Every drop of water, every note, it’s all perfect. Close To The Edge. You DO need to pay attention to the lyrics. They are very meaningful. Don’t take it literal, but for instance- the liver Jon sings about, to me is a person living, not the bodily organ.
The third movement - "I get up, I get down" was actually an idea Steve Howe brought to Jon Anderson. The idea and much of the lyrical content in this movement is based off the French Saint Bernadette Soubirous. It was a compositions Steve had created when he was with his previous group "Bodast" - a short-lived but interesting group.
I've watched every reaction to this song. It's what I do. It's my favorite song. You can only listen to a song for the the first time once. You can never experience that feeling again. Reaction videos are the closest I can ever get to that moment, back in the 70s as a 16 year old when I first heard it. This is as close as I can get to that moment in time. Thank you for this! Now you have to listen to "Awaken" by Yes. Another epic voyage. Enjoy.
Concerning your questions about what they're doing musically, the answer to all your questions is... Yes. They do all those things and more. Similar to classical music, various musical themes are introduced and expanded upon or later reintroduced, often in a different key or modality. Unlike most rock songs (verse, chorus, bridge, repeat) music by Yes takes numerous listenings to get a better understanding of what they're doing. There are a few professional musicians (with perfect pitch), who do YT music reactions. They may give a musical analysis of each section being played and of some music theory involved.
Firstly welcome to the long format YES epic masterpieces. You musical life will be changed by this experience which takes you places you thought were not possible. Most new people are worried that this song in near 20 mins long but once you have taken the ride you cannot believe how quick the time passes. It is like you are in a parallel universe for a while. Yes were the master of transitions, key and time changes. They would agree to musically converge at key points. Another method they use is to build then strip back then rebuild the song a few times. The key in their long format epics is to draw you in and envelop you in such a sonic experience that you are totally immersed. It becomes emotional for you and Yes always tend to leave you in a much better state emotionally, such a positive band. Not many bands can do that. So welcome to early 70's prog rock.
Apparently, the intro section initially came from an improvised Jam, Jon had a rough recording of it and he asked the band if they could 'learn' and chart the improv. As for the composition as a whole, what is most remarkable is the fact that the 'through-line' of the various themes carries through perfectly. It is not difficult to arrange shocking changes, but it takes real compositional skill to arrange themes and signature melodies that reapper throughout in new surprising ways. It is easy for complex music to seem indulgent or gratuitous, but this piece stands as strong as any classical arrangement of Stravinsky or Bartok, and yet it defies genre because it encompasses almost every genre. YES always felt incredibly pluralist and universal in their approach, it was like EVERY voice ALL music, EVERY aspect of life. I think that is what sets them above and beyond all other rock bands. No other band could have achieved this.
Ladies and gentlemen YES the greatest show on earth. At one time Yes had the second loudest sound system on tour. And trust me it sounded better then headphones. Son you are correct in your questions which you answered yourself. Now listen to it again with your eyes closed and mind open.
I can see that Close To The Edge hit you in the same way that it hit so many of us back in '72. At about 14:00 in, you ask 'what is that instrument?' That's a Moog Minimoog synthesizer and it was totally new. Throughout the 70s, we would run to the record store (there used to be stores where you bought music) to buy the latest Yes or Rick Wakeman (keyboardist here) solo album to find out what mind-warping sounds Rick found in the Minimoog this time. The honky-tonk section after that was Minimoog and guitar, followed by one of the best Hammond organ solos ever recorded. The church organ part was recorded at a church in Switzerland and sent over the phone-lines to the studio. Glad to see CTTE still excites new generations.
Also, Nihindu, 18:45 This is just how it's done in great prog rock. And probably nobody did it more seamlessly than Yes. Genesis had some epics like this that are well-worth listening to, and great tunes. _Firth of Fifth,_ _Supper's Ready,_ which I also highly recommend. But back in these days, Yes had a peculiar talent for taking you into a completely different direction with time signatures, key, and sonic/mood changes, where it just kinda flows, and doesn't seem so jarring. What you just heard was a whole-1st-side masterpiece. They have another, _Gates of Delirium._ And then two shorter epics called _Awaken,_ and _And You and I,_ which is on the same album as this. The whole _Close to the Edge_ album is a masterpiece of production and song sequencing. Three long songs in total, with different movements that make for an even bigger experience than you just encountered. Maybe consider doing the second side (two songs) in one go, like a lot of others have done after hearing this. I'd love to see that, but it's your channel, bro. Anyway, great reaction!
You were asking about an instrument at the beginning of the first verse. It's a Coral electric sitar, and Steve Howe made tremendous use of it on this and later albums to add texture.
The Ferocity of Creation, From Unity to Change, "I Get Up, I Get Down", I do evil, and good, but the "Total Mass Retain" provides The Creator with the means to save that which was lost.
Yup this is the best. They are true masters, changing time signatures, keys, and dynamics seamlessly - mind you, this was all done on tape so no cutting and pasting like we do today. (Their engineer, Eddie Offord, mixed the sections down to stereo tape and spliced them together.) The bass is so outstanding as a lead and rhythmic instrument, and the vocals are sublime. Jon Anderson's voice is indeed another instrument. It almost as if language was created solely for his vocal apparatus. Really enjoying your channel! Best in the New Year!
Your informed commenters said all I was going to say, so let me just suggest that this, and "Awaken" as performed by Jon and Todmobile, with the Iceland Orchestra are the high points in Yes, and prog and music. G.O.D. is up there too with the prodigal spiritual hymn, "Soon" providing a heavenly conclusion to the warring delirium that preceded it. I seem to recall hearing that Jon was not so fond of organized religion, and thought that each person was capable of full cosmic status, to which I concur. Great reaction! I feel respiritualized already.
One of my favourites from Yes (CTTE is my number one) is South Side of the Sky from the wonderful Fragile album. Lyrics are about being cold while mountain climbing. th-cam.com/video/vLM-fwEFVcU/w-d-xo.html
I have to complement you on your reaction. I can see from your face that you were caught by this number. So nice to see as a 63 years old fan of Yes watching young guys like you 50 years later. 50 years!!! When interested in the content of the song (songs Jon Anderson songs are really never streight to follow ;) : read in into the world changes on political and social levels early 70's. There you will find the meaning of the words.
@@NihinduAngana You were wondering about time signatures. How many beats in a bar. Bill Bruford the drummer hated 4/4 time. I think there are parts of Close to the Edge that have 2 or 3 different time signatures among the different instrumental arrangements cycling in and out of syncopation, still together. I saw them play Close to the Edge LIVE. 🎶Mind Music Mind Explosion.
If you truly need to obsess about 70's YES lyrics there are many opinions and some band quotes online that will give you a wide ranges of interpretations. I just understand how these compositions make me feel and let that do the comprehending for me
Personally, I like the live version of this song on the album YESSONGS even better. Especially after the "spherical sound middle part" Yes have worked on the arrangement a bit more. You can just listen to it (if you are interested).
If you want to check out a truly insane, long rock song check out Bring the Sun/Toussaint L'overture by Swans. It's 34 minutes long, and it's some of the most intense music I've ever listened to.
Hello Nihindu, I think it is more the time signature change, but I am not expert in music. I'm 63 years old and I remember when this album came out and my friends and I all bought copies in 1972. We were stunned as we had never heard anything like this before. I was only 13 years old. I first saw Yes in concert in 1975 and they did play this song and it was even better in concert than the studio version. Yes is one of those bands that only got better throughout the years. Thank you for your excellent review.- New Subscriber Jeffrey.
Hello Jeffrey!! Thank you for subscribing and leaving a comment🤗 Wow If im amazed about Yes like this now.. i cant even imagine how you guys were amazed back then! Thank you for joining with me in this journey of discovering music!!
Brother please tell me is not one of the best songs you ever heard! brilliant how you catch those complicated music moments on a first listen, not an easy one..a masterpiece. The ONLY song i know competes with this one, and i actually even would chose as the best song ever wrtitten in prog is Suppers ready - Genesis.. deep into early Genesis bro, its amazing stuff ps; subscribed!
Thank you brother!! Haha I was kind of trained a little bit because I got the golden opportunity to listen to Tool and then Rush.. who were inspired by Yes!! So glad Im now able to enjoy the music of Yes!! cant wait till we check out the next Yes song!!
"Crucifixion" has a Not Literal usage in the English language. "You're crucifying me!" is a way of saying that your words are torturous to hear, that your intent is apparently to make me suffer as would a tortured person. It's kind of a stretch the way they used it in this song...the "crucifixion of her domain" could be a poet's way of referring to the suffering of the woman's children, for which she'd take the blame in her despair...

The creation of this song was inspired by the 1922 novel, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse - a spiritual journey of self-discovery.
Possibly the greatest thing ever recorded…

Prog music not only incorporates key changes, they also change and use unusual time signatures.
Like Mozart

When you listen to something for the first time you should not read lyrics, anything that distracts you from listening to the music is a negative IMO.
