    The best comment I heard about True: "This is what Yes should sound like in 2024."

      It's really a shame the officially named albums haven't been this good. It's not like those guys aren't talented and yet these "internet" musicians have captured the Yes spirit in ways they haven't.
      Edit : I don't mean anything disparaging by internet musicians, so many amazing talents gaining popularity using the internet. It's just something interesting to me what happened in this particular case.
      Oh yeah, isn't this song beautiful! ⚡⚡⚡

      I did like Jon's Collab with Roine Stolt, but this is so much more Yes-like than that. The Band Geeks are a fabulous fit with Jon, bringing him back toward what we all expect Yes should be like today.

    This is by far the best track on this album....the trademark of the JA melodies, the emotionally of the middle section, it is all just brilliance, and what The Steve Howe band, shamelessly cashing in on the YES name could never ever reach. The Geeks - are all a wonderful combination.

      By far the most progressive song on the album!
      Going see them in April of 2025 and looking at the set list I noticed they haven’t been playing this song.
      I was actually a little surprised to.
      U would think Jon would be promoting his new album more?

    My favorite song on the new album too (and they're all great)! Please play these songs in concert on your 2025 tour, Jon! I used to love seeing YES in the 1970s because they always played their new songs, regardless if we knew them or not. This song has the power of Awaken, "awaken, gentle mass, touch!" Sure, Heart of the Sunrise is great, but after a hundred thousand listens, I want to HEAR THE NEW SONGS! I bet everyone else does too. Your best album ever (and they're all divine). Jon Anderson is an angel sent from heaven to awaken us gentle masses! YES!

    Love this song, fantastic symphonic rock from The Band Geeks and Jon’s most gorgeous, contribution of a vocal symphony, I ever heard….Perfect 😉
    When you hear a new song,
    And discover, that you have already heard a particular sound
    Synchronicity, is calling, all around
    When you see a (new) sight,
    And you realise, it’s already been found
    Mystic time, is all abound,
    Awaken the spirit,
    Elevate our climb
    Within a movement,
    Of a dream, sublime.

    It's enough to stick around looking for it
    It's enough to challenge it, took around

    Dance around it, tiki-tai, tiki-tay

    Everything now, moving out, moving out
    Once upon a time you were searching for
    Dance around it, tiki-tai, tiki-tay

    It's enough to stick around, looking for it
    It's enough to challenge it, look around
    This grand design, only one true meaning
    Immortalized, all that we know
    Telling tales, look around
    We laugh, we cry in the eyes of many
    Never asking why
    Nothing can change, always seen, nothing changes
    Ever change, ever change
    Change it up, change it up, change it up, change it up
    This first surprise, a crystal river
    Between the lies, reaching out to everyone, everywhere
    We see the size of the coming weather, we realize
    Everything is possible, everything possible
    We are light
    Call it this time of life
    We are true for everlife
    True is true is true
    Come on sister
    Magic that changes me
    So golden, then fascination can be like
    Come on sister
    Truth is for evermore
    Mystical magic that changes like a miracle
    Always reaching for the stars
    Reaching out for everyone
    We dance, we fly into an endless sky
    We love, we sing, we soar on broken wings
    It's enough to sit around, looking for it
    It's enough to challenge it, look around
    Once upon a time you were searching for it
    Here we go to the heart of the sunrise
    Seen through your eyes be the one connection
    The dream is clear
    Lifting you up, higher and higher
    We fantasize, we are the world of dreaming
    We harmonize
    Deep in our heart everlasting harmony
    This grand design
    We control the meeting
    This gift of time
    Lifting us up, higher and higher letting go
    We reach out for the stars
    Reaching out for everyone
    We dance, we fly into an endless sky
    We love, we sing, we soar with broken wings
    It's enough to stick around, looking for it
    It's enough to challenge it, look around
    Once upon a time you were searching for it
    Lift this force to get to the sunrise
    Shine on sister
    Magic that wakens me
    Your loving brings fascination
    This feeling go on brother
    Sun be the saving light
    You are the song of the ages
    Like walking in the house of freedom
    Like walking in the house of wisdom
    Like walking in the house of freedom
    Magic can change
    Best of time, reaching for the best of time
    Twice upon a dream you were the angel of your story
    Twice upon a dream you were the angel of your story
    Asking for the majesty to call
    And let you hear them, see them, be them everything is clear
    Are we alive to witness this true understanding
    The giving of the love to, ever to, to the storyline
    Even if we live so evermore to reach and sing forever
    Even if we live to know that truth is our story
    Waking in the morning light
    Waking in the morning light
    Waking in the morning light
    Like the first star, we kiss and know the move of time
    Like the first time, you know the gift that you are free
    You are free
    You are free
    It's enough to seek around, looking for it
    It's enough to challenge it, took around
    (Once upon a time you searching for
    Dance around it, tiki-tai, tiki-tay
    Cup a sound now, took around, took around
    Everything now, moving out, moving out)
    Honor this time
    Get me close to get to the sunrise
    As the more to get there
    Ever after never late, to the sun time
    Happiness to jump and dance
    To the rhythm of the god stone
    Giving it up to quarter of the best we begin to live
    Channeling your love, your love, your love, your love
    Your love is all of the story, brought to you
    Once upon a time you searching for
    Dance around it, tiki-tai, tiki-tay
    Cup a sound now, took around, took around
    Everything now, moving out, moving out
    Once upon a time you searching for
    Dance around it, tiki-tai, tiki-tay
    Cup a sound now, took around, took around
    Everything now, moving out, moving out
    Go sister
    Magic that changes you
    So golden, the fascination can be like
    Go sister
    Magic that changes me
    So golden, the fascination can be like
    So sister, magic
    They call this summoning
    To, to light they call this heavenly
    To, to light they call this son of mine
    To, to light god is calling me, to, to light
    This vision
    Everyday shall be in the eyes of many
    This eternity

    The truth is you ever this time
    Each way, this way get to the sunrise

      Yes the vocals are much clearer.

    • @ariokanario
      @ariokanario 5 днів тому

      The different instruments are more pure, more separate as well as the vocals: less reverb overall and different choices in volume/panning. Sounds more direct and therefore more a 'live' feel i.m.o.😊
      I guess this is an earlier, rough mix, there are more details here, also added vocals from Jon that haven't survived the final mix. . .
      Maybe this is the original workmix made by Richie Castellano (most of it midi) in which everyone in the process added his own part. It seems that by now the drums at least are still midi-based. . .

      Only you can answer that bud, but personally I love this track, and this album. I honestly never thought I'd hear music like this, ever again. It sounds like Yes. Better still, it sounds like a wonderful amalgamation of the key players: Steve/Trevor, Rick/Tony, Bill/Alan, and of course the bass seemingly channeling Chris, and his vox as well. So from my perspective, yeah I think maybe you're missing something but at the same time maybe it just hasn't fully hit you yet. I never cared for The Remembering for years & years, now it's my favorite side of Tales. There's hope 😆😆🤟🏻🤟🏻

      @@paulgoodwin1029 I love the Remembering as much as And You and I and Awaken. Awaken and the Remembering are both somewhat dirivative of And You and I. Yes music has been a big part of my spiritual journey. People now barely know who they are/ were but 50 years ago, they were filling stadiums.. This is the most YES-like music since Magnification and that's 25 years ago. A long time to wait, but well worth it.This is the only authentic sound out there.

    The highest treason, the meanest treason, is to deny the holiness of this little blue planet
    on which we journey through the cold void of space. ~ Edward Abbey
