Back in 1982, a friend invited me to his place, he knew that I was fond of rock music, mainly Rainbow, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, ..... And then he told me, come listen to good music. What he turned on turned my idea of the world of music forever !!! The first thing that captured me from the first listening: King Crimson - "21st Century Schizoid Man" is understandable, but with the second disc it became more difficult, too much musical information fell on me then and it took me a little more time to comprehend! And it was Yes - Close To The Edge !!! I had to listen to them several times to understand what masterpieces I am listening to !!! It is very difficult for a young maximalist to change to a new one ! )) And so, when I "drove" into it, I could already listen to all the music there is on Earth!!! By the way, I still don't speak or understand English! 😉 В далёком 1982 году меня пригласил к себе приятель, он знал что я увлекаюсь рок музыкой, в основном Rainbow, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, ..... А тут он мне говорит, приходи послушать хорошую музыку. То что он включил перевернуло моё представление о мире музыки на всегда !!! Первое, что захватило меня с первого прослушивания: King Crimson - "21st Century Schizoid Man" это понятно, а вот со вторым диском пошло труднее, уж слишком много музыкальной информации на меня тогда свалилось и мне понадобилось несколько большее время на осмысление ! А это был Yes - Close To The Edge !!! Мне пришлось несколько раз прослушать их что бы понять какие шедевры я слушаю !!! Очень трудно молодому максималисту перестроится на новое ! )) И вот, когда я "въехал" в это, я уже мог слушать всю музыку какая есть на Земле !!! Кстати, я до сих пор не говорю и не понимаю английский ! 😉
I got to know progressive music through some older relatives: cousins and my only brother. Years later, I was able to introduce them to my listening degree: Focus, Gentle Giant, Jeff Beck, Niacin, Liquid Tension Experiment, Steve Morse, Dixie Dregs, The Aristocrats and many others. But there is a group from my country that I dare recommend you to listen to. SEQUAZ. Look it up on UA-cam. By the way, I'm from Brazil.
Steve Howe, one of the best guitarist ever,and sadly one of the most underated. this is one of my favorite Rock bands of all time, would also like to say that by far my favorite album by them is Close to the edge, and my favorite Yes song of all time comes from this album: Siberian Khatru
@@bobonham52 his work at the end of the piece is amazing. I also love the crecendo at the end of " to be over" he builds to a harmonic note that seems to trandsend a etheralness almost as to phase out to the other side or something. My favorite as well. Now Alex Lifeson underrated for sure!
Full agreement. I was devastated when Jeff Beck died suddenly. Got to see him once. Jimmy Page doesn't even play, even in recent decades. Steve Howe is the only one left in my book of guitar heroes.
This is a truly epic piece of music by Yes! It's one of my favorites that did not get the attention it deserves. This song is their with Awaken, CTE. Thank you for sharing!
Back in that day, 1995, I was absolutely thrilled to learn that Howe and Wakeman were back (I way never all that fond of Rabin and Kaye), and I was even more thrilled with the ensuing half live half studio sets, KtA 1&2. Nowadays I'm a bit less enthusiastic of the live stuff but the new recording still hold strong for me. This one here in particular. A number of years later there was in fact an album of the studio cuts only, Keystudio, which to me it continues to be Topographic Oceans turned into latter days' currency. So full of impact, so monumental, so outworldly. I DO dig it.
Yes. There are the children of the world. And then there are those who "dwell in heaven". They may live among us, and you and I. These days are no worry to them. How did heaven begin?
when i first heard this on the "Keys to" album, i thought, "at last! a new Yes Magnum Opus! Please don't let it be the last!" sadly, while the Magnification album came close, this was, for me, the last Truly Soul Inspiring, Next Level/Next Plane Of Existence song that made me think, "Yes."
@@quicksite I dare not comment on the lyrics of the song. Although I understand English, but this is not my native language. Much understanding is lost along the way. Especially when it comes to poetic language.

I love Beethoven's music, especially the late period. The string quartet in A minor is stunning, the 3rd movement just kills me. Many years ago, when I was at a particularly low point in my life, the I was listening to the A minor, the sun was streaming through the window and I just dissolved into the sound. During the 3rd movement, I noticed I was crying, sobbing hard, not because I was sad or depressed, but because of the sheer beauty of the music. When it was finished, I had to go out for a walk, feeling reinvigorated and purposeful, and things started looking up from there. Thanks, Ludwig, you really helped me through a bad patch. 🙏
What a treasure -find, and just hearing Howes introduction had me listening; having been brought up with older brothers I thought I knew all there was about "Yes', for me it's like finding a missing piece of puzzle, thank you for uploading!
Same thing happened to me. My only elder brother has lead me through prog music. One day I "discovered" this album. Then it was my turn to show him a rare jewel.
I don't know what set it off but there's an extraordinary number of comments that just were entered in the past month and even days. (November 20, 2022)
It’s the ever increasing love and appreciation for Yes music. The echoes and reverberations from their creations will only increase as they proceed down the halls of time. ❤
How in the hell did I miss this album?. For my life long love of YES, I missed this. I guess I've been stuck on the old stuff. Thank you so much. The intro has a western film vibe. Does anyone know of Ennio Morricone who has creates over 400 soundtracks. Clint films etc. He was a genius and only lost him last year. Thank you!
This is a Yes song that I really wish the present Yes line up would perform. It's just astounding from beginning to end. I'm sure Billy Sherwood and Geoff Downes could handle this, and Jon Davison on vocals. It would shock the audience if they really played it. This came out in the 90s, but it far being representative of any 90s music or 90s sound. This is Yes. This is progressive rock. This is not grunge or emo ... thank God.
it was never performed live because they would have needed another lead guitar, steve plays like 4 different guitars all over dubbed on that tune, the current lineup just canceled Relayer because in all reality, they just can't pull it off
OMG!!! YOU"RE..... AWAKENED!!! WoooooHoooooo!!!!! Hahahahahahaha another/more twinn(s)! When??? Lyrics:AWESOME! Instrumentals: OUTSTANDING..... NO......BETTER THAN EVER!!! Can't believe you guys crossed over! Tripped up on one of your concerts on youtube and Jon starts off talking about... "LOVE", my ears perked a bit....

"..... and there was love everywhere, so beautiful to see...", "shit, that is what he said!!!"...... start searching tube for more recent concerts, songs, anything...... POOF! There it is!!!

Parece una oda a la fuerza de voluntad y a la fuerza femenina. Las damas del mundo deberían oírla una vez y prestar atención a la letra sobre la vida que, si eventualmente lo deciden, puedan traer al mundo. Es la epopeya de un desafío para las almas inocentes en camino de regreso a la fuente divina. Una ensueño etéreo reminiscente de los océanos topográficos 20 años después.
Thanks for uploading this. IMO, the studio tracks from Keys to Ascension 1 & 2 don't get the credit they deserve. I think they are of comparable quality to much of their early to mid 70s output.
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 - I agree with Rick Wakeman with regard to the thought that the studio tracks should have been a separate album from the beginning. IMO, that album should have been called Keys to Ascension and the live album called Live in San Luis Obispo.
@@DavidLazarus True, I hadn't thought of this before. Keystudio is not as appropriate as Keys to Ascension. This title would definitely go down much better. Perhaps the Keystudio compilation would be better known and publicized, as a masterpiece deserves recognition.
¡Exactamente! Esta fue una falla en el programa que no se procesó correctamente. Estoy pensando en rehacer todo en el nuevo programa que estoy usando ahora, que ya no tiene este defecto. Supongo que vale la pena tener este trabajo.
I can't believe Rick would have liked this music. I love Jon but he was mostly ruining this period with trying to wail all the on-the-nose lyrics and carry the day.
Rick was excited by this music and was disappointed that Keys to Ascension wasn't released with only the new studio tracks. Keystudio was finally released years later.
Ich fand den Text auch erst sehr seltsam und krass, aber je mehr ich ihn verstehe, um so mehr mag ich das ganze Stück, es ist wirklich eine echte Schatzkiste
früher, als ich gerade noch "don`t kill the Wale" verstanden habe, habe ich auf Texte nicht geachtet. Heute ist das schwierig. Aber insgesamt ist YES grossartige Musik.
I never thought I'd hear a Yes song with the word "crack" in it. How wrong. And how far they'd fallen. Of course, it's downright good compared to the new stuff.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your opinion. The lyrics of this song may not even match the peace lyrics we have always become accustomed to. But they spoke about a reality of life in a touching way that makes us reflect more on human beings in an invitation to solidarity. The musical quality is an overcoming and display of personal maturity by each musician with the reunion of a lineup that was one of the most successful in Yes' entire history.
No es "Yes". Es "Yess". Fijaos en que el logo del nombre del grupo lleva 2 "S". Vaya manía absurda, ya asentada, de llamarlo "Yes", traducido al español es "SI", y el nombre, traducido, es una de tantas acepciones del idioma inglés de "Jesús", Yess.
@@javierriveram1988 Tu eres un pobre ignorante sin conocimientos ni formación que poco o nada sabe. A mi no me gusta en absoluto el nombre de "Jesús", pero así se llamaban, como tampoco me gusta que Ian Anderson, de Jethro Tull, sea amigo íntimo de Donald Trump, pero es lo que hay, "sabio de moda".
@@raulaguilardiez957 no me insulta el hecho que me llames 'ignorante', mas bien creo que tu lo eres, no estoy discutiendo para nada el nombre de Jesús ni su existencia, eso no me importa, a lo que voy es que creo conocer lo suficiente de la historia de ésta banda y el logotipo de Roger Dean para saber de lo que hablo que me parece que no es su caso
@@javierriveram1988 Cuando yo comencé a escuchar a "Yess", llamado entonces "Rock sinfónico", tu no habías nacido. No comprendes demasiado el sentido de lo que es "conversar" de lo que deduzco que tienes una gran opinión de ti mismo. La referencia a "Jesús" nada tiene que ver con creencias religiosas, sino que era su traducción. Aunque los conozco de sobra aún los escucho y lo seguiré haciendo y por mi parte, asunto agotado.
@@raulaguilardiez957 yo empecé a escuchar a Yes a los 10 años, mi primer álbum fue el recopilatorio Yesterdays, la cual engloba los trabajos de los dos primeros álbumes 'Yes' y 'Time and a Word', si se digna a investigar un poquito la portada original de esos dos albumes claramente se escribe el nombre de la banda, no es hasta el quinto album (Close to the Edge) la cual utiliza el logo burbuja de Roger Dean, "pseudo-conocedor del Rock Sinfónico"
Since there are no founding members left in the band, and all that remains of the classic lineup is Steve Howe, I would like to see Yes move from "That That Is", to "Well, That's It". They should've hung it up after Alan and Chris died.

When it was finished, I had to go out for a walk, feeling reinvigorated and purposeful, and things started looking up from there.
Thanks, Ludwig, you really helped me through a bad patch. 🙏
Ludwig's birthday is coming up.
What a treasure -find, and just hearing Howes introduction had me listening; having been brought up with older brothers I thought I knew all there was about "Yes', for me it's like finding a missing piece of puzzle, thank you for uploading!
Same thing happened to me. My only elder brother has lead me through prog music. One day I "discovered" this album. Then it was my turn to show him a rare jewel.
I don't know what set it off but there's an extraordinary number of comments that just were entered in the past month and even days. (November 20, 2022)
It’s the ever increasing love and appreciation for Yes music. The echoes and reverberations from their creations will only increase as they proceed down the halls of time. ❤
Que música más sublime ! Esas notas llegan al alma y estremecen mi corazón !
My favorite song off the Keys 1
La verdad está en la letra de esta vida fugaz y cósmica ,tengo 40 años escuchando a yes.( Jon anderson) gracias.
yes🎉yes🎉that that is🎉best line up🎉 thank you from japan🎉🅾️m vazara sattova 🅰️ku❤
Great song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a Suite, no a song.
Great song.
Thanks👍
Not one of my favourite Yes tunes, but man that intro is beautifully recorded. I'd never really listened to the production before.

How in the hell did I miss this album?. For my life long love of YES, I missed this. I guess I've been stuck on the old stuff. Thank you so much. The intro has a western film vibe. Does anyone know of Ennio Morricone who has creates over 400 soundtracks. Clint films etc. He was a genius and only lost him last year. Thank you!
Love Yes
This is a Yes song that I really wish the present Yes line up would perform. It's just astounding from beginning to end.
I'm sure Billy Sherwood and Geoff Downes could handle this, and Jon Davison on vocals. It would shock the audience
if they really played it. This came out in the 90s, but it far being representative of any 90s music or 90s sound.
This is Yes. This is progressive rock. This is not grunge or emo ... thank God.
OMG we need a laughing emoji !!🤣
it was never performed live because they would have needed another lead guitar, steve plays like 4 different guitars all over dubbed on that tune, the current lineup just canceled Relayer because in all reality, they just can't pull it off

You find humor in Yes ?
@@RaelsparkI think he finds humor in Steve’s YES!
@@BarrySanchez Geoff Downes is a riot.
Viva o Rock a melhor música 🤩

wtf Yes telling us so much common sense and realism. AND HOPE!
OMG!!! YOU"RE..... AWAKENED!!! WoooooHoooooo!!!!! Hahahahahahaha another/more twinn(s)! When??? Lyrics:AWESOME! Instrumentals: OUTSTANDING..... NO......BETTER THAN EVER!!!

"..... and there was love everywhere, so beautiful to see...", "shit, that is what he said!!!"...... start searching tube for more recent concerts, songs, anything...... POOF! There it is!!! THAT, THAT IS!!! WooHoo, they crossed over too!!! Wait, there's another, MIND DRIVE! Yup, they're HERE!!! Thank you for sharing the LOVE on this side, ALL that IS and will ALWAYS.... "BE" ....!! little twinn 💜

Tremenda traduccion al Espanol de una gran cancion
Es una Suite.
Tremenda cancion al Espanol Gracias
Es una Suite, por su duracion.
Parece una oda a la fuerza de voluntad y a la fuerza femenina. Las damas del mundo deberían oírla una vez y prestar atención a la letra sobre la vida que, si eventualmente lo deciden, puedan traer al mundo. Es la epopeya de un desafío para las almas inocentes en camino de regreso a la fuente divina. Una ensueño etéreo reminiscente de los océanos topográficos 20 años después.
I like your take on this! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for uploading this. IMO, the studio tracks from Keys to Ascension 1 & 2 don't get the credit they deserve. I think they are of comparable quality to much of their early to mid 70s output.
I'm really glad you liked the post. This formation is my favorite. Totally agree...same energy of the 70's
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 - I agree with Rick Wakeman with regard to the thought that the studio tracks should have been a separate album from the beginning. IMO, that album should have been called Keys to Ascension and the live album called Live in San Luis Obispo.
@@DavidLazarus True, I hadn't thought of this before. Keystudio is not as appropriate as Keys to Ascension. This title would definitely go down much better. Perhaps the Keystudio compilation would be better known and publicized, as a masterpiece deserves recognition.
What are we listening too.
Me too..
I had forgotten about the existence of this song! Which album is it from??
The album I have that contains this song is KEYSTUDIO.
That That Is Cut and Pasted Haphazardly Without ANY Regard To Forming a Cohesive Pseudo YES Epic...That's What THIS IS. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Buena equalización. Lástima que faltan los últimos segundos de audio y no queda bien la terminación del tema.
¡Exactamente! Esta fue una falla en el programa que no se procesó correctamente. Estoy pensando en rehacer todo en el nuevo programa que estoy usando ahora, que ya no tiene este defecto. Supongo que vale la pena tener este trabajo.
Interesting transcript, you may want to check, edit 4 any errors
Thank you. I regret to inform you that I cannot change it after the video has already been posted.
But thanks for letting me know.
I can't believe Rick would have liked this music. I love Jon but he was mostly ruining this period with trying to wail all the on-the-nose lyrics and carry the day.
Yeah and if p e ople think this is great they need to go back 45 years or so...
But Rick is there ! . . . . . all 5 ! . . . . ??

Rick was excited by this music and was disappointed that Keys to Ascension wasn't released with only the new studio tracks. Keystudio was finally released years later.
Não lembro dessa música. De quando é?
No. The. Beatles. R. The. Best. Band. Ever!! Sorry. But. Yes. Is. One. Of. The. Greatest. Bands. Ever😨
Howe spielt wie so oft unsauber
In diesem Fall, denke ich, bekommt die ganze Band die Schuld... (lacht)
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 Ja du hast Recht. Kein wirkliches Meisterwerk.
das ist ja furchtbar ... Ich blende den Text aus, dann ist es wunderbar - yes 🙂
Ich fand den Text auch erst sehr seltsam und krass, aber je mehr ich ihn verstehe, um so mehr mag ich das ganze Stück, es ist wirklich eine echte Schatzkiste
@@descantiano seltsame Texte sind bei YES normal. Ich musste das auch erst lernen :-)
früher, als ich gerade noch "don`t kill the Wale" verstanden habe, habe ich auf Texte nicht geachtet. Heute ist das schwierig. Aber insgesamt ist YES grossartige Musik.
I never thought I'd hear a Yes song with the word "crack" in it. How wrong. And how far they'd fallen. Of course, it's downright good compared to the new stuff.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your opinion. The lyrics of this song may not even match the peace lyrics we have always become accustomed to. But they spoke about a reality of life in a touching way that makes us reflect more on human beings in an invitation to solidarity. The musical quality is an overcoming and display of personal maturity by each musician with the reunion of a lineup that was one of the most successful in Yes' entire history.
Yes pushed boundaries, surely they can push their own.
@@carlosandreguimaraesdasilv4602 definitely anti war but "burn their children's laughter" is no peaceful lyric
No es "Yes". Es "Yess". Fijaos en que el logo del nombre del grupo lleva 2 "S". Vaya manía absurda, ya asentada, de llamarlo "Yes", traducido al español es "SI", y el nombre, traducido, es una de tantas acepciones del idioma inglés de "Jesús", Yess.
De dónde diablos sacas eso? Esa 'otra s' es en realidad el adorno que une la letra y con la s, la s real, para al final la e estar entre las 2
@@javierriveram1988 Tu eres un pobre ignorante sin conocimientos ni formación que poco o nada sabe. A mi no me gusta en absoluto el nombre de "Jesús", pero así se llamaban, como tampoco me gusta que Ian Anderson, de Jethro Tull, sea amigo íntimo de Donald Trump, pero es lo que hay, "sabio de moda".
@@raulaguilardiez957 no me insulta el hecho que me llames 'ignorante', mas bien creo que tu lo eres, no estoy discutiendo para nada el nombre de Jesús ni su existencia, eso no me importa, a lo que voy es que creo conocer lo suficiente de la historia de ésta banda y el logotipo de Roger Dean para saber de lo que hablo que me parece que no es su caso
@@javierriveram1988 Cuando yo comencé a escuchar a "Yess", llamado entonces "Rock sinfónico", tu no habías nacido. No comprendes demasiado el sentido de lo que es "conversar" de lo que deduzco que tienes una gran opinión de ti mismo. La referencia a "Jesús" nada tiene que ver con creencias religiosas, sino que era su traducción. Aunque los conozco de sobra aún los escucho y lo seguiré haciendo y por mi parte, asunto agotado.
@@raulaguilardiez957 yo empecé a escuchar a Yes a los 10 años, mi primer álbum fue el recopilatorio Yesterdays, la cual engloba los trabajos de los dos primeros álbumes 'Yes' y 'Time and a Word', si se digna a investigar un poquito la portada original de esos dos albumes claramente se escribe el nombre de la banda, no es hasta el quinto album (Close to the Edge) la cual utiliza el logo burbuja de Roger Dean, "pseudo-conocedor del Rock Sinfónico"
Since there are no founding members left in the band, and all that remains of the classic lineup is Steve Howe, I would like to see Yes move from "That That Is", to "Well, That's It".
They should've hung it up after Alan and Chris died.
@@TONE11111 Your opinion is noted.
I happen to think the splattered tomato on the Tormato album cover was a listener's first response to listening to the album.
