i was 12 in 1972 and a friend of mine at school made me listen this song so beautiful...since i love pop music and Yes for ever!!!! Pop music and for me Yes learn that for me...Music is a big travel...inside and personnal travel which is different for every-one....that's the beauty of YES MESSAGE....always Close to the Edge!!
This gig looked awesome and I envy those who were lucky enough to be there. Jon never sounded in better voice. The band and their music work so well with the orchestra (especially, I think, on the song 'In the Presence of'). Beautiful and timeless music.
Hard to rate, but probably the BEST YES ALBUM...they are all so good in their own way...this one holds a special spot in my heart...even quoted this song in my High School Year Book...
I bought this on 8 track when I was 14 years old....as I have gotten older I appreciate the beauty of Tales of Topographic Oceans......this piece brings pure joy to my heart as I think of my beautiful grandson holding him in my arms as he is not 2 years old. He has the beautiful kind spirit told through the sounds we hear here.....
Here is a perfect example of the imperfection of language. "We love when we play" could mean that they just love to play. It also could mean that when they are playing, it is an act of love upon their audience. How do you all look at it? Nous sommes du soleil in French means "We are of the Sun". To me that doesn't fit in with this song at all. Somebody please comment on this if you know more than I do. If I could ever meet John Anderson, this is one of the first questions I would ask him.
Nyght Owl LOL! That was hilarious. You aren't a musician or a poet, are you? You were definitely under the influence of some intoxicant when you made your last comment. I drink alcohol, but I would never say anything like what you said to anyone. Let's see what other people think of your opinion. Maybe instead of being a night owl, you should try getting to bed a little earlier.
Nyght Owl - I thought I should let you know that Nyght is really spelled Night. Please tell me what a "dickwad" is. Is that French????? Is that Poetic License??????
Steve Hill While the liner notes indicated the translation was indeed "We are of the sun" it also included in parenthesis (We can see). The "ritual" is clearly involving intimate relations. However some.. I hope most here do indeed just love when they play(musically). For translations of insults, I suggest urban dictionary. And a flame war.. attached to a musical piece such as this? I have low expectations.. but please honor the artists.
Nyght Owl - are you British? I live in Pennsylvania, United States. Your recent reply shows me that you are far more intelligent than the earlier reply does. Thanks for writing back. No harm done. It's all in fun. I love to debate music and popular bands. Assholes where I live would rather fight over who is the best sports team. Speaking of alcohol, I have been a professional musician almost all my adult life, (I am currently 54 years old) and I have studied and written about the benefits of alcohol to the musician. Scientific studies are now proving that alcohol enhances your creativity. I think it is fascinating.
What's with the sound quality? The bass is way to forward, the strings are swallowed up by the guitar and vocals, and the whole recording overall sounds like an AM radio recording
June, 2023 here....72 years old, and still loving the YES since the 70's
Ditto September 2024 still loving YES x

Génial
WOW that is so beautiful it takes me back to my highschool days. Over 40 years ago
I love this. YES bring back the memories. You are legendary, timeless and awesomeness.
We will never hear music like this again and that's really sad
Yes often seem to play at their best with orchestras. Beautiful.
A masterpiece.

ok
Why n-mikron ("n" mikron), lol?

Difficult to listen to. I bought 'Tales' when released & tried & tried to like it. It's words and instruments but not songs
I had the same original response. All I can say is to keep at it. It will reward you like no other album.
Just an acquired taste.
