They have a number of other possibly even better songs. Roundabout; Close to the Edge; Starship Trooper, etc. Siberian Khatru *might* be in their top ten. Maybe... There are few songs that compare to Roundabout.
Yes has been my favorite band since 1978. Try these songs.... Close to the Edge Roundabout I've seen All Good People Heart of the Sunrise Yours is no Disgrace Perpetual Change Starship Trooper
Mine too, and I’d have to also suggest finishing this album (And You And I), and adding Awaken. That is sooooooooo much to digest, but if that list doesn’t hook someone, then it’s just not meant to be, which is fine, if not a little disappointing. No matter what, it is utterly awesome to see younger folks digging on Yes!
Ladies and gentlemen YES the greatest show on earth. Came out fifty yrs ago, that song was the third track on a 3 track album called Close To The Edge. "Roundabout" off their 4th album called Fragile is a must. As for the lyrics Jon Anderson would use words for there sound and rhythm as opposed to there actual meaning thus focus more on the music and leave the words for fifty yrs later like I did. 🙏🍁
LOL!!! YO FIRST TIMER! Finding YES is like opening WHOLE HUGE CAN of AMAZEMENT. Get your mind ready to be BLOWN!!! This ALBUM is GREATEST ALBUM EVER!!!!! But Siberian is the MOST UNINTERPRETABLE lyrical of all! But it's also their MOST FUNKY!!! WELCOME! To Yes World!!!! since you've already dove into the deep end just continue with the masterpieces > songs CLOSE TO THE EDGE also AND YOU & I
"Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Official Music Video)" Owner of a Broken Heart is a song by the British Progressive rock band ---Yes, it is the first track and single from their eleventh studio album and it was a very big hit in the U.S. becoming the bands first No 1 single. This band crossed over into many genres of music they did prog.-rock, pop-rock, and art-rock. I believe Jon Anderson, who wrote the lyrics said the word "KHATRU" means "as you wish' in Arabic, and this song, is the last track on the "Close To The Edge" album. This song is about unity across cultures. I googled this song, I'm not as familiar with this song as I am with the song that I suggested ☝I appreciate you sticking in there, this is progressive rock. Nice reaction👍
OK I subscribed but will only stay if you keep playing more music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time and my favorite band. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.
This was quite an introduction. Progressive rock is a bit different. It's a favorite of a lot of musicians. Rush is somewhat progressive, with some smoothing out.
It's not really about anything. Jon Andersens vocals are more about how the words sound rather than what they mean. If you read the words they don't make a lot of since but they sound great.
I agree. I've been listening to their music for decades and I don't know what most of the songs are about. But they sound amazing! And their musicianship and mastery of their craft is unsurpassed! Please react to Roundabout by Yes. It is another of about 20 of their songs that will blow your mind.
Quoting the vocalist Jon Anderson, "Khatru means 'as you wish' in the Yemeni dialect of Arabic. When we were working on it, I kept singing the word over and over again, even though I had no idea what it meant. I asked somebody to look it up for me, and when they told me the meaning, it worked for the song." In terms of its lyrics, Anderson noted the song is a collection of "interesting words, though it does relate to the dreams of clear summer days." I recommend you listen to the studio version of "Roundabout" next. It was their first huge hit and you'll see why!
Don't get to wrapped up in the lyric. It's just a musical vocalizations intended to create a sense of place. Many Yes tunes from the early albums were written this way. Genius.
Sometimes YES lyrics are words that are like notes from an instrument. Don't they sound awesome? I asked Jon Anderson (singer), what it meant he said.. whatever you want it to mean. Basically.. when listening to this, just think of it as really and Insturmental.. then you get the lyrics.. there are a lot of fantastic YES compositions that do this in whole or in part.
you really picked one of their deep and complicated songs to start off with but try some of these Roundabout I've seen All Good People Heart of the Sunrise Yours is no Disgrace Perpetual Change Starship Trooper
Best song ever? Well, there's gonna be some disagreement here. Some people say Close to the Edge, some say Gates of Delirium or And You And I or Heart of the Sunrise or South Side of the Sky or Roundabout or Turn of the Century or Starship Trooper or Perpetual Change or Yours Is No Disgrace. Some say this one. For me it'll forever and always be Awaken. I do encourage you to listen to all those others and more first though, on your way to my choice for the greatest.
Don't read into the lyrics too much Jon Anderson (vocalist) worth them strictly to move the music along No deep meaning Also, the only group I can think of where every player is a master of their instrument This is what you get Hey, wanna blow your mind, try the title track of this album "Close to the Edge" Welcome to the era of real music 😁🎶
YES is the best band to ever exist. More, please!!
Saw them in 1979. Played on a round and tiered stage that rotated.
I second that emotion and the classic lineup was incredible live when I saw them at Madison Square Garden back in 1979.
They have a number of other possibly even better songs. Roundabout; Close to the Edge; Starship Trooper, etc. Siberian Khatru *might* be in their top ten. Maybe... There are few songs that compare to Roundabout.
Ok, "Awaken", is a religious experience.
Remember that without Yes, there would be no Rush. Just ask Geddy Lee. The guitar solo on the Yessongs version is awesome, as is the whole set.
LOL as if they would have been missed like many other post / pseudo Prog bands that loved YES.
Yes is made up of all eccentric geniuses, super creative, completely original. Try Roundabout live next.
He REALLY should hear the studio version first, regardless of the amazing live versions that are out there, IMO.
Yes has been my favorite band since 1978. Try these songs....
Close to the Edge
Roundabout
I've seen All Good People
Heart of the Sunrise
Yours is no Disgrace
Perpetual Change
Starship Trooper
Hell yeah, I’ve seen all good people and roundabout
Mine too, and I’d have to also suggest finishing this album (And You And I), and adding Awaken.

My man, you ABSOLUTELY have to hit Roundabout by these guys next. It will send you somewhere you've never been before...trust me.
Prog rock is so complex. And this band performed songs like this live. Incredible! You should check out their album "Yessongs"
Going for the One! It will melt your mind!
LOL!!! YO FIRST TIMER! Finding YES is like opening WHOLE HUGE CAN of AMAZEMENT. Get your mind ready to be BLOWN!!! This ALBUM is GREATEST ALBUM EVER!!!!! But Siberian is the MOST UNINTERPRETABLE lyrical of all! But it's also their MOST FUNKY!!! WELCOME! To Yes World!!!! since you've already dove into the deep end just continue with the masterpieces > songs CLOSE TO THE EDGE also AND YOU & I
My favoyrite band for 50 years now. That's about 73% of my life. Unfortunately, no others come close.
Yes, they’re the best. Thx 👍💪
Yes! Check out the live two-album set, Yessongs. Believe or not it sounds MUCH better live.
Believe it or not, Yessongs was a triple album set. Mine is anyway!
@@stevedriver1376 I forgot that! Haven't had the vinyl for a LONG time.

I dig this sound 🤩
Yes is, in fact, the best band ever!!!
This is a 70’s band but I saw them live 5 years in an outside auditorium and they sounded just exactly as good.
Yessongs triple live album will give all you are looking for. Most reators have yeyt to discover it. Shame. It's brilliant!
This was quite an introduction. Progressive rock is a bit different. It's a favorite of a lot of musicians. Rush is somewhat progressive, with some smoothing out.
Yes is basically a trip to hyperspace lmfao Def also check out "Closer to the Ege". Also another band to check out is Gacharic Spin -- Mindset.
The kings of progressive rock. Now try And You And I ! Also Awaken or Heart of The Sunrise!
I think Steve Howe is still alive and well
It's not really about anything. Jon Andersens vocals are more about how the words sound rather than what they mean.

Can you believe I listend to that I was 14 years old, and I loved it a lot

Welcome to PROG ROCK !!!! the key is superior Virtuosity in the Studio and on Stage and Composing
YES = transitions .
Never get complacent with these cats .
That intro groove is in 15/4 time. Count it out. Remarkable how it swings. It's the drummer.
Best bass player Chris squire fun to watch great bass player
"awaken" will open your soul
Love it ♥️
Close to the Edge is THE Prog' Rock track to enjoy; it's the best!
Roundabout! Go for it!
multiple voices.. this is called 3-part harmony..
Don't get to wrapped up in the lyric. It's just a musical vocalizations intended to create a sense of place. Many Yes tunes from the early albums were written this way. Genius.
Roundabout time to get back to Yes
Dreamer easy and a chair that really fits you
You might be ready for Close to the Edge.
Your next reaction should be "Endless Dream" by Yes!!!! It is FIRE!!!!! It is a MASTERPIECE!!!

you really picked one of their deep and complicated songs to start off with but try some of these

🤔🤌

Don't read into the lyrics too much
Jon Anderson (vocalist) worth them strictly to move the music along
No deep meaning
Also, the only group I can think of where every player is a master of their instrument
This is what you get
Hey, wanna blow your mind, try the title track of this album "Close to the Edge"
Welcome to the era of real music 😁🎶
1972
Great tune.
