    Move yourself
    You always live your life
    Never thinking of the future
    Prove yourself
    You are the move you make
    Take your chances, win or loser
    See yourself
    You are the steps you take
    You and you, and that's the only way
    Shake, shake yourself
    You're every move you make
    So the story goes
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    (Much better than a)
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Say, you don't want to chance it
    You've been hurt so before
    Watch it now
    The eagle in the sky
    How he dancin' one and only
    You, lose yourself
    No not for pity's sake
    There's no real reason to be lonely
    Be yourself
    Give your free will a chance
    You've got to want to succeed
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    (Much better than a)
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    After my own indecision
    They confused me so
    Owner of a lonely heart
    My love said never question your will at all
    In the end you've got to go
    Look before you leap
    Owner of a lonely heart
    And don't you hesitate at all, no no
    Yow!
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    (Much better than a)
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    (Much better than a)
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Sooner or later each conclusion
    Will decide the lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    It will excite, it will delight
    It will give a better start
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Just receive it
    Just receive it
    (Owner of a lonely heart)

      it's true, about us who were teens in the 80's, for me, mid 80's. Otoh, it was a tricky time, of massive social changes in the West, and of geopolitical changes of biblical proportions. It was not an easy time at all. The music was very new and eclectic, and many performers were doing their best ever perhaps. It was an mind opening decade, i think. After it, harshness emerged, steadily, puncuated by the sept 11 violence and ensuing difficult times, both economically and socially. And now we reallllly see it.

    The sound engineering on this song is amazing. I love how some of the instruments sound like the microphones are up super close and recorded in a small room, while others sound distant in a huge hall with heaps of reverb. Incredible contrasts. Also the fantastic effects on the backing vocals when they sing "Owner of a lonely HEART!!" at 4:10... it sounds like the brass section of an orchestra. Also during the breakdown just before the guitar solo... there's a Phil Collins inspired drum roll and Jon shrieks "YEOW!" and then from 4:41 to 4:44 his voice and Trevor Rabin's guitar sound so perfectly blended as they go "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!".... followed by the weirdest and most unique sounding guitar solo in rock history. Like something aliens would play if they were undercover and trying to blend in as humans. I would love to see a "making of" documentary of this recording. It was a miraculous 80's single this one, coming out of a nowhere from a 70's prog band that many people assumed had faded away into oblivion. One of the greatest rock songs ever, in my opinion. I must've heard it 1000 times, but it never gets old.

Ah!" is the amazing attack and clarity of a Synclavier with the mind-blowing sampling resolution at 100kHz for the late eighties. Nothing can touch it yet.

      Indeed, “One and Only”. That is the whole point. I got the turning around thing at the end right away. What I never saw was this extended version of each member of the band representing an attacking animal. They never played this version on MTV or VH1. They just cut that part out probably because there was no music in that part of the video. No respect to the filmmaker. We see the despair of loneliness represented here, represented by the animals. I think there are other evils in the world that this concept would better fit but I certainly get the parallel being represented. I suppose loneliness is a liability we combat in ourselves though. And I truly do admire the message of the song depicted in the video.

    You gotta love, that guitar chime in; at the end of every verse of "owner of a lonely heart." Unique combo of the mood and instrumentation and timing

      @Bishop Dong Magic Shlong. That doesn't prove anything at all. Because perhaps he never SAW the movie "Night School". MTV played everywhere in the world. On everybody's televisions. Not everybody has heard of the movie "Night School". I'VE never even heard of it. And it's VERY possible that Ron Jay has never heard of it either.

    • @frauleinmona
      @frauleinmona 5 років тому +17

      @Bishop Dong Magic Shlong I have a right to comment. Everybody's opinion is apparently worth only two cents when somebody doesn't like it. His point was that he would have never heard of Yes if it wasn't for MTV. And I was backing that up. Just because that movie came out doesn't mean anything. The point is is that he credits MTV for discovering Yes. and if he had never had this channel he would have never heard of them otherwise. And I believe him.

    I had always thought YES was a one-hit wonder & this song was the hit. I met my first love at Summer camp when I was 14. He would literally eat, sleep & breathe YES were it possible. He had the shirts, he knew all the lyrics; if ever there was a YES superfan he was it. (He even made a huge chalk drawing in my driveway of the 1972 YES logo). I went back to Summer camp every year just to see him. When I turned 18 I was too old to go to camp. I hated the thought that I'd never see him again. A few years later I found him on the internet & we met again. It's true that you never forget your first love. Even though he lives far away & is a husband & father now (I'm honestly surprised that his son's name isn't Jon Anderson) I'll always wish only for his happiness. Sorry for the tangent, back to the story. We were playing billiards one time & they actually unplugged the jukebox because he kept playing YES songs. Who does that?! They were making money off him at $1 a song. SMH. He made a mix tape for me (yep, this was way back in the day) of YES songs. I played it over & over. I learned to love YES because of him & still 20 years later, have many of their CDs. Anyways, you guys are awesome & you deserve every accolade you've been given! I can't say the same for you, though, Moraz, you arrogant schmuck.
