On of the most moving pieces of music in rock history.
The first time I met Yes was in 1983, when Owner of a Lonely Heart video came out on MTV, and I said “wow, good rock band”. Then a friend of mine lent me an LP and said to me “Do you want to really know Yes? Just listen to this”. It was Close to the Edge and I said “WOOOW WOOOW WOOOW”. A whole universe opened to me from that moment on. A great album
It's astonishing when you watch Owner of a lonely heart's video on YT that most of the people who comment dont have a clue what Yes is really about... People dont have an open mind. If you liked the song, check out the group, its so simple nowadays.
Brings a tear to my eyes watching young people react to the first time hearing the music that I grew up with.
This masterpiece of an album was recorded and released in 1972 (nearly 50 years ago) and only consists of 3 songs - Close To The Edge (which you have already heard), this song, and Siberian Khatru...so that’s the only one left then you’ve experienced the whole album. It really was, and still is, a milestone in progressive rock music!
By the way, that’s an acoustic guitar at the beginning...not a piano 😊. And all of lead vocals are sung by the same guy, Jon Anderson. He has a very unique voice and way of singing. The other members of Yes at this time were:
Steve Howe - guitars & backing vocals
Chris Squire - bass guitar & backing vocals
Bill Bruford - drums & percussion
Rick Wakeman - keyboard instruments (piano/organ/synthesisers etc) he is widely considered one of the greatest keyboardists in rock music.
Happy exploring this wonderful band!
Yeah, it's a 12 String. It did sound slightly like a harpsichord after she said that.
Jon Anderson had a unique voice in that he is a true Tenor with a wide range to the top end. And of course, he, along with the others were brilliant musicians who, as a group, came together completely as a unit with this album. It was the bands pinnacle achievement.
"To Be Over" is a song from YES I think you'd love, same type of theme, same beautiful, peaceful melody.
Yes, "To Be Over" and "Soon the Light." I think she'd also like much of "Olias of Sunhillow."
Watching newbies have such reactions to these wonderful Yes songs is so amazing to us, because it is like we are reliving the first times ever hearing these masterpieces!
Truly the joy of watching reactions!
it's like sitting with friends when you want them to hear something new that you love and they love it too.
Oh Gods, after all these years they’re still absolutely beautiful 🙏🥰✊🏽
There is a lot of spirituality in Yes music, that's why we get emotional listening....
I've probably heard this song 200 times and I still get emotional hearing it. For me what does it is when we typically hear love songs, they're easy to digest, and this song doesn't really do that, and to the untrained ear people may not even realize this is a love song at all. Judging from the lyrics, I feel that this is a song about a love that develops over time, and I can't even imagine how difficult it is to write a song that illustrates that, but somehow Yes had done it. Thank you so much for making this video, it was fun watching someone react to one of my favorite songs of all time :D
Other great songs by Yes = I've Seen All Good People, Wonderous Stories, Turn Of The Century, Heart Of The Sunrise, Yours Is No Disgrace, America, Starship Trooper, etc. etc.
Love all those - Starship Trooper especially
Can't go wrong with any of those.
you forgot time and a word, venture, south side of the sky, going for the one, tempus fugit, even the rest of drama, and the trevor rabin years....
i mean, every yes song is great.
@@scruffytube5169 Sorry, Drama was a huge disappointment IMHO. Even Tormato was better than Drama.
@@Lewis9709 i certainly don't want to turn this into "a thing", but...
how could you have been "disappointed" with drama?
what did you expect from a yes album without jon anderson? you "expected" great things?
that's why i enjoy drama. i had no expectations for it.
but tempus fugit, can it really happen?, and into the lens (i am a camera) are not horrible tunes, and trevor horn wasn't awful. not jon anderson, but he did his trevor horn thing perfectly. and geoff downs is a fine player. i prefer his work to tony kaye's
and tormato was fun too. arriving UFO, on the silent wings of freedom, don't kill the whales...
all good stuff
The Preacher, The Teacher has to be my favorite couple of minutes of music ever.
Ambrose, Yes are absolute Icons of early Progressive Rock music! Love every single song they put out!
I need to thank you. Whenever I see someone really hear this band I’m moved. I used to take my dads albums when I was about two years old and I’d play them on tiny turntable that my dad gave me. He trusted me with his records because he knew I had respect for them. Do listen to as much yes as you can. Jon Anderson us beautiful being. . I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago and he is just as lovely as you can imagine
I have always loved this song from the moment I first heard it. When I see it performed live, with Jon Anderson singing it, I well up with a profound sense of experiencing something grand and beautiful, usually followed by tears of joy, which is then met with a raucous reaction when he sings “called over valleys of endless seas.” I don’t need to know about each word, because I’m delivered to it’s space. Then the crowd goes nuts. Probably gets the biggest standing ovation of the night. The whole shape of the song is completely unique in any genre of music.
Each time I hear it I'm 12 again, having my horizons blown open. I'll never lose that feeling of listening to it for the first time.
Jon almost always dedicates this song to "his Janie" whom he's been married to since 1997. It's about *love*, which we truly need now.
Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, and Steve Howe all had a hand in writing "And You And I".
YES has excelled in Progressive Rock with their instrumentation and
stories involved with their songs! They capture moods and feelings and
they are memorizing to watch and listen to!
I heard this fir the first time in '74. I fell deeply for the Band. Close to the Edge is a top 10 album IMHO. So nice to watch the reaction on your face.
".....callllll" -how many bong hits across the earth.
Emotions and spirituality are the basis of Yes music 🎶🎵
All instruments fit each other in an incredible choral sound
And you and I 💘
I met Jon Anderson a few years ago. I told him this was my favorite Yes song. He said "thanks, mine to". Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer... they were all modern-day classical composers. Tony Kaye, Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, Trevor Rabin... brilliant musicians.
The song is flat out art. The listener defines and interprets the creation.
This song helped me deal with my mother’s death in 1984 soon after I discovered Yes at age 15. Somehow I lived through the 70s and did not hear of Yes until 1983 when Owner of a Lonely Heart was released. I bought their entire back catalogue on vinyl that same year and without Yes high school would have been completely different for me. I recommend Turn of the Century, Starship Trooper, and Hearts for you. Happy Listening!
Everyone who watches can see the band resonating through you. Makes me cry this song too. Wonderful reaction.
Many of our most creative minds were huge fans of Yes. A goodly number of my favorite TV series, when the credits run, turn out to have been produced by "Mutant Enemy Productions", a name drawn from one of the lyrical phrases in this tune.
Great reaction! I've been a devoted Yes fan since 1971 and am delighted when younger folks like you enjoy this exceptional music
Yes "Close To The Edge" is considered by many to be the greatest prog album ever, and considered by many to be the greatest album...period...and I agree.
One of my favorites by Yes, it takes me to another world every time. This album is connected to a very special time in my life.
Welcome to the Yes Fan Club, Ms. Ambrose. I truly enjoy your reactions & appreciation for truly remarkable musical experiences. It is a pleasure to enjoy your fun videos.
😊
Jon Anderson just has one of those voices that fills you with joy.
More so than Ian Anderson. Who I also revere highly. Interesting contrasts.
@@gregvoloshen3065 Ian is a better entertainer, though. If you've ever seen Tull live (I'm guessing you have) the man was a showman above all else.
@@matthewnoto9380 No question about it. I saw Ian at the R&R Hall of Fame around 2000. Giving a question and answer session, while playing his release "The secret language of birds" for the people in attendance, on just a tape recorder.
The next beautiful song by Yes you should do is Turn of the Century off the Going for the One Album! It truly is one of the most beautiful songs ever!
The acoustic version by Steve Howe and Annie Haslam is great.🗿
This piece always makes me cry.
We had our longtime friend play the keyboard during our wedding ceremony. The singer and the guitarist were perfect.
Turn Of The Century has been our song for 33 years now. Marc
I prefer Awaken from that album.
I saw Yes in an outdoor concert in Hartford, CT in 1972 during the tour promoting this album. I then saw them in Leicester, U.K. in 2015...a 43 year gap! They were minus Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, but they did their first three albums in their entirety. I was in heaven.
Been listening to this since it first came out. The whole album is brilliant and still seems fresh even after all that time, probably due to the incredible musical abilities all members possess.
It’s so nice that YES has grabbed you! It seems that you are the newest true Yes fan! You have listened to the first 2 songs from the album called “Close To The Edge” - there are only 3 songs on the album, so you might as well finish! The final song is called “Siberian Khatru.” All 3 songs are entirely different than one another, yet equally great in their own way. After that -- how about “Heart of the Sunrise” and “Turn of the Century” - 2 more surprising and beautiful songs from this unique and amazing band. Keep listening, love your reactions!
Seen live in 77. One of their best songs done...at that concert.
First heard YES at 13 years old in 1973. This piece deeply effected me and along with others from a very rich catalog did go on to chart the course of my musical sensibilities for the rest of my life. It's a "love affair" really . . . Welcome and enjoy . . . .
This Song is Beautiful, And You and I Are.
Hi there. It's a harmonic intro by Steve Howe on the lead guitar. In the background the hauntingly beautiful piece is played by Rick Wakemen - he plays piano, organ, mellotron, etc.
I'm a jazz bassist and multi-instrumentalist and working on my own progressive rock album.
Prog rock was definitely the most experimental and talented genre that could push and challenge to the boundaries of no limits; musicians were free to do what they wanted due to the ever-growing and income of the music industry.
Thanks for bringing this to new audiences. I am new to your channel and enjoyed this reaction.
Thank you, Ambrose.
Jon Anderson would just love watching & listening to Cynthia’s reaction here, which was Yes’ goal always
It was a pleasure to watch your eyes and face full of smiles. When this album came out I was a teenager and to this day this album is still one of the best
Girl, you're on the Yes train! I know you're getting a lot of suggestions. I've been a Yes fan since 1978. Trust me, you need to hear, ' Starship Trooper', ' South Side of the Sky', ' Heart of the Sunrise', and the epic masterpiece, ' The Gates of Delirium'. The ending of the last I mentioned will make you feel like you went to heaven.
I agree. I did want to add that she should listen to "We Have Heaven" to hear the wonderful transition into "South Side of the Sky".
Hola tengo 60 años y vivo en Costa Rica y desde los 12 años soy fan de YES y justamente Close To The Edg fue el primer LP que compre en mi vida, quiero felicitarte por tu buen gusto musical y sobre todo por tu sensibilidad disfrute tu video , disfrute ver que alguien tan joven disfruta hoy de la música que me hizo soñar en mi adolescencia y me marco por toda la vida
Actually the beginning is a 12-string acoustic guitar. It's not a piano. I just can't get over how beautiful you are! Keep going. Peace, D
I cry every time I hear this song.
My fav song. I still remember where I was when I heard this song 50 years ago
I'm a year late lol.. but wanted to explain that like fine wine, their performance of this song has aged beautifully. Find the Amsterdam symphonic yes 2001 version, with full orchestra. 30 yrs after they wrote it. You will cry again :)
Honestly, I am so happy to see your reaction. I have shared this song with ladies who didn't get the song. I have often thought if I could find a lady who really gets what an amazing love song this is, I would ask her to marry me, So very cool to see your genuinely lovely response. Namaste.
One of my favorite bands. I love "Yes".
In a re-union concert, Jon Anderson said this was written as a love letter to his wife. With the bands growing success they could finally travel the world, and the lyrics allude to that.
Cynthia, I have completely enjoyed watching your reactions to this beautiful music from Yes. You have a very good ear for understanding what you are hearing and it is a pleasure to be able to witness your joy.
The love of another, the love of the infinite, the love of life, it's all in there...and believe when I say that while listening to this in concert once, while in a highly lucid state, I had a flash of how world peace can happen and how easy it really is if we would only see. I love that you are exploring the lyrics, there is a lot there and because he is basically painting with words, there are so many possible meanings that will change as you do. This song also contains one of my favorite lines...it is hard to hear because it is a backing vocal and it is very processed...it's at 5:17 in your vid: "Float your climb" which I take as the Daoist idea of "wu wei" or non-doing...if you let things flow, life will take you where you need to be. We have to allow ourselves to ascend and then we will float up without effort. To quote Yoda..."Luminous beings are we."
Yeah!!! We love Yes!!!
This is one of the best albums ever created, and is my personal favorite. The title track, "Close to the Edge" is a true masterpiece. The intro in this song is a 12-string acoustic guitar. "I love this voice!" So do we! That's all Jon Anderson - he's amazing. He has a naturally high voice: he's a alto-tenor or countertenor, which is above the tenor range. He doesn't use falsetto, which is what a lot of men use to hit high notes (like Mick Jagger or the BeeGees) Suggestion: don't watch lyric videos of Yes songs. The lyrics are meant to create mood as much as convey meaning: they are often chosen for how they sound with the music as much as for their meaning. Just sit back and listen and enjoy! Remember when all this music came out back in the seventies, we didn't have lyrics available unless they were printed on the album sleeve. We share your joy in listening to this beautiful classic. Please continue!
Peace from SF
Beautiful Music. Beautiful Reaction. Beautiful Woman.
Hi Cynthia. I loved your reaction. I think you have perfectly understood the meaning of this song. It also reaches me very deep. Since you liked this one, I highly recommend you "To be over". Regards from Argentina, Máximo
Watch Yessongs! You will be blown away. You can see the passion when they play it live.
I love your reaction and your comments. This is from one of my favourite albums. It's great to see people in other regions of the world discovering this music and loving it. If you would like to hear music in a similar style, I recommend you the songs of Genesis, like The Cinema Show, Watcher of the Skies, or The Fountain of Salmacis.
Yes is also hugely popular in South America.
I love your reactions. Good luck figuring out Jon's lyrics! He gives you words and allows you to interpret them any way you like (as long as it is positive.) This is from one of their best albums. "Relayer" is another with only a handful of tracks, but it contains two of Yes's most beautiful tunes. (Soon and To Be Over. I don't know which is more lovely. (It doesn't matter, as we got TWO!)
I felt the same way when I bought the album and heard this song, it became my favorite Yes song. I was a teenager learning the guitar and Steve Howe became a mythical being I could only dream of playing as he did. Many late nights burning much gasoline smoking buds listening to Yes! I don’t want to go back, it could never be as good as I remember it today!
Glad you loved it. They are the king daddy of Prog rock. Even after all these years I think the lyrics are baffling but man those guys put together beautiful melodies.
I'm so glad and grateful that you are exploring one of the premier bands of all time. This masterpiece song is from a brilliant land mark album that was a game changer not just for Yes but music itself. This album alone changed my taste in music and bands ever since. Yo should check out their live version of this song and a lot of their other earlier songs on Yessongs. It's my favorite live album. The movie was awesome too. Thank you for your wonderful videos that I really enjoy and always look forward to. I really enjoy your reactions and comments and the journey with you as a lovely hostess leading the way. Love ya my dear.
💜 I knew you would love "And You And I". Thanks so much for the reaction.
I highly recommend "To Be Over" and "Turn Of The Century" for more beautiful and moving YES pieces.
Ver a esta chica escuchando una de mis canciones favoritas me ha emocionado....de verdad
If I had a time machine I send you back to the 70s to see this performed live where they slowed down the middle part and made it much more powerful.
Listen to it again. Only this time put on headsets, close your eyes and don't talk or think about talking. This song plays deep in the brain.
First saw Yes 1973 west palm bch auditorium....seen them many times since....fantastic ...unique music....and yes...To Be Over ...good choice as is Awaken....Turn of the Century!!!
That favorite line, to me it means that the seeds of life are within us. Discovering and using this knowledge for good, is the meaning of our lives.
I could be wrong but that's how I take it.
It's a 12-String Guitar at the beginning - and it ends the song perfectly with Anderson accompanying on vocals, whole Wakeman takes off into Space on the final chord 😏👍
Yes music brings out all the different emotions in you. It's spiritual and soothing and in the same time it can make you a much better person. Enjoy
It's so nice to see the joy in your eyes when you listen to this music. For the songs from the early studio albums, I always recommend listening to the songs on the live album "Yessongs" (1973) too. Some of the songs have been significantly revised and I personally like them better (not all, but most of them). You can try the song "Heart Of The Sunrise". Or, if it should be a "masterpiece", "The Gates Of Delirium" from the album Realayer. The song is based on Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace"
When you wondered if there was a different singer it was just the sound of Jon Anderson without the blend of Squire's backing vocals. It can not be stressed enough the importance of Chris Squire's contributions to the sound of Yes.
You have it right. The total exhilaration of love and the total humility of love. Hard to call this a 'song'.
To hear this live, high. nothing better.
Sadly, lyrics can still be written today like Yes and ELP and Genesis and Rush......the music industry choses not to. Sad, but it makes these bands forever special.
You have to listen to this song in wintertime with your eyes closed and a cup of tea in candlelight. That's my ritual on grey days
The first half of this was released as a single with the other half on the B side. I heard it on the radio when I was a teenager.
And You and I; Classic yes so beautiful, emotional, uplifting, wonderful it is a great song like all Yes songs of that time. You really need to listen to this whole Yes, Close to Edge LP. No stopping the music, no distractions, darken room and let you mind fill with sound and light. This LP and this song is a masterpiece, the best prog rock LP ever. Looks like Yes has a new fan! Welcome to the Yes fan club. Please do an album review of Fragile, you will not be disappointed. Great reaction and continue the wonderful Yes music journey.
Greetings from Oregon. We old folks get emotional too. We think you will be just fine. Welcome aboard. Welcome to the greatest music of my time. All our best to you and your family..
It's ok to cry when you listen to Yes.
Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics, amazing band. You might as well finish the album now and listen to Siberian Khatru. It's higher energy though, so get ready 😀
I agree!😎
IT'S like heaven.
This song is magic
Listen to this when it's raining, find a nice spot to watch the rain an just be immersed. A nice home stereo is the best, the neighbors won't mind, it's YES.
For a proper comparison of YES recorded, and YES live, you should do "Yours Is No Disgrace" from The Yes Album, then from YESSONGS. After you listen to "Siberian Khatru" I mean.
After 50 years of listening to YES, it's so good, each time is like the first time.
Beautiful song. RIP Chris.
FYI, Cynthia, the opening of the song is all Steve Howe on guitar using touch harmonics on the strings. He very lightly touches the strings directly above the frets and instead of a solid tone, it sounds more like a soft bell. Another example is Roundabout opens with harmonics.
And You And I is another one of YES' masterpieces. It is a song about the band and the audience. Probably seen this song performed 150 times. Jon at his best!
Reached right into your heart and captured you, didn't it?
It's layered like a wedding cake. The top level is a love song. The next is about awareness of our world, its fragile beauty and gently powerful web of interaction, knowing our place in it, knowing who we are within it. The next level is cosmic awareness; how we fit into an unimaginably huge universe that seems to have been created for the sole purpose of nurturing Life of all forms; Love in all its many expressions, the myriad ways we are able recognize how Love informs all that we are or will ever be. There are Preachers and Teachers who have tried to convey these things to us for centuries. Anderson is following a fine and noble tradition and those amazing players with him are ALL on the same channel, the same wavelength.
Anderson's lyrics are designed deliberately as "open-ended." They can be interpreted in a number of ways. This is why Yes music is so universally transcendent. Even if you DON'T understand it fully, it's compelling in a way few other artists have been able to achieve. (Hint: no one ever fully understands Yes music, which is the beauty of it because we keep listening to it and finding more within its lyrical and musical structure.)
Learning about Love and Life is a task that's never complete, which is why Anderson chose the metaphor of "climbing mountains" to "look over valleys of endless seas." Each mountain is different, each sea unique but the person climbing with you, at your side, gazing over those endless seas will always be in your heart--if you care enough, if you let them in. You let this song into your heart and it worked its magic on your soul. Congratulations. You just had an epiphany.
That is always a Very Good Thing.
Ah, pretty Lady! I see you've reacted to Awaken, and yet you still come back to Yes for more. Again, very bold of you. Welcome! And thank you for listening.
I love the way you pronounce transitions.
Your reactions are full of child-like wonder. That makes you as lovely as this music. 💖
thank you for your sweet reaction..."YES" were superb musicians, and Jon Anderson's voice still goes straight to the heart!
The intro is just Rick Wakeman (Keyboards) holding the Key Chord on a Hammond C3 organ while Steve howe plays the 12 string guitar. Then Wakeman comes into a lead-in with the Moog Synthesizer. (You did ask for explanations!). The vocals are all Jon Anderson with backup vocals from Steve Howe (Guitar) and Chris Squire (Sadly no longer with us on Bass Guitar). The ending was an Orchestration by Rick Wakeman on a keyboard called a Mellotron.
Great reaction to amazing music. Do more Yes.
One of the best love songs ever written; seeing all the beauty of the world through your loved one, nothing more, nothing less.
A masterful band, they are part of my DNA, were i to be married this would have been the song i chose.
One of the truly great album's!!🥰🥰🥰
Only one song remains on the album: "Siberian Khatru". You'll love that one too, I'm sure. It's more up-tempo, but still beautiful. I'm sure everyone will agree.
This is golden. Heck, you are golden. I love early Yes, but your reaction is such a joy to see.
One of my all time favorites!
And you and i, loves this song!
Welcome this is epic, beautiful music of Yes...
