- Lyrics:
Nothing can take us far enough emotion
Far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in
Nothing can bridge our souls' devotion
Fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin
So many displaced among the future dreamers
Realized their doubles
Took a new step
A question of origin
Only in the recent past
Seekers fought to realize
Skyward shone like beacons
A question of origin
Ten thousand millions flee
To the westward light
The dreamers represent
This arc of peace
As the poets entranced
The anchor redeemed
Secrets of science
The history of the future
Was surely made
Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realize
Our home is our world, our life
Home is our world
Nothing can take us far enough emotion
Far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in
Nothing can bridge our souls devotion
Fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin
Speak so fast to the prophets of the living
Looking for the signs
Spanning out the centuries
Search for truth
Ancient ones, they watch and listen
Carry our wishes
Took upon themselves to guide us
Through the endless skies
Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realize
Our home is our world, our life
Our hope is our world, our life
I have seen the passion
That's in the hope that everyone
Will find their way into the secret
Of the home of your heart
Living within the vision
Within the power, beyond belief
We see that hate destroys the soul
Of anyone who tries to teach it
I have seen the dream
That's in your heart
That's in your eyes
To bring you closer to the one
It's what keeps us so alive
It's what makes us realize
Our home is our world, our life
Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realize
Our home is our world, our life
Home is our world, our life
Send, ascending to the secrets
All is pure and clear to resolve
Nothing can change us now
Send, ascending to the future
Nothing can ever change us now
We follow the sun
We follow the sun
We follow the sun
Truth is a simple place
Here for us all to see
Reach as it comes to you
As it comes to me
As I will always need you inside my heart
Peace is a word we teach
A place for us all to reach
Sing as it sings to you
As it sings to me
As I will always need you inside my heart
It was a brave choice in 2000 for the makers of the game Homeworld to request a 70's style progressive rock concept song for their soundtrack, and build the entire ambient soundtrack around it. This is probably why it worked so well.
Perfect atmosphere for the game, on top of a song and lyrics which fit perfectly (it's as if they designed the game around this song). Quite possibly the best theme tune ever put into a video game.
Only thing is this was recorded and released in 1999 so the video game makers must have been looking for something to fit. I imagine the song came before the game based on the release date.
Agreed. I suspect they based the game on the song.
+CADJewellerySkills It was released in 1999.
I remember that on completion - finally...
"You are here..."
I'm sure it still has to be in the top 10 for best music scores - like try to out-do YES... Was more drawn to it being an Xer Yes Fan remembering what was popular when in diapers and discovering "Progressive" rock never died, just the slimy bland mainstream doesn't show it, but it kept going no care.
As far as game music - it was an excellent "First" but now that games are made with a lot more money and there's far more memory/space certainly things have improved.
I'd cite the game Nier Automata.
Also anything Akiko Shikata has had a hand in, like the Ar Tonelico/Ciel Nosurge series.
@@blackflag66 Chris Welch confirms that in his book, "Close to the Edge: The Story of YES." The band had been talking with Relic and Sierra about a request to make something for the game.
So yes, the song is actually based on the game. :)
Never played Homeworld before, I'm just here thanks to having grown up with a dad who has excellent taste in music.
I am in the same boat, only I have played a bit of Homeworld because my dad was so interested in Yes doing the soundtrack he bought it on a whim for me.
Great dad.
Same! My dad does too!
Lucid On Occasion I grew up with friends whose parents loved great music; I am grateful for that.
Good on you, now go play Homeworld.
Jon Anderson has the greatest voice on planet earth.so angelic
Seeing him in a couple weeks!!!
Love the graphics in this - it illustrates this song as the theme for Planet Earth that it could be - to introduce ourselves to the entire universe! "Our home is our World, our LIFE!"
Man, Homeworld was so glorious. That ambiance. That narration. I still remember. Karen S'Jet and Fleet Command. Seeing Karaak burn. The odyssey. Cataclysm was a slight step down, though I did love The Beast. And then the second one was beautiful. I still need to finish it, because of that damn station capture mission. Yes, three, four, five battlecruisers, please, my fleet is almost recovered.
The sleeper has awakened.
11 hours: 35 mins......Return to Hiigara.... it is almost time.
F^(K yea bro
Homeworld was Epic... ahead of its time in 1999.
cataclysm is just as good as original, only thing that let it down was probably the soundtrack
This song is pure hope.
Heaven
Yes, it is.
I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to hear this prior to the album release, and I knew then that this was gonna be another one of those magnificent ones. It's got everything I want in a Yessong.
Squire's bass work will always amaze me.
Mike Guaragna yes!! Rickenbachers like a fricken fender strat hung across the monster miracle man! Chris Squire forever bass king!
This is neverending story. I can listen to it over and over again.
This song introduced me to prog rock and listening to music in general.
Have you given Alan Parsons Project a go? They are just as amazing in my log of The Greats....
Me too
Homeworld really is an epic...a powerful song with a beautiful message ❤
What a GRAND piece this is... a little too late to catch the progressive era, but GRAND none the less... YES !!
Never forget the day we, Kenny & us all heard Bruce has passed away. Spence & him grew up together & I had been working w/Ken since the late 80s & heard many tales ... it was a shock as he was so healthy at 49. To be have been working with Yes is special & that tracking was just completed...what an amazing piece of work... thanks Bruce! 🙏
Such beauty, my eyes are wet! They have recaptured the magic of their golden age so well on this album!
YES never fails
Man when you beat Homeworld and this song started playing. Awesome times.
Producer : "About the name of your band,
How much do you want people to find your albums at the store?"
YES : "Yes"
right before ZZ Top ;)
Not quite. Thom Yorke and the Zombies get in the way.
One of the best Yes songs. Like an awesome symphony.
I still remember finishing the game for the first time and getting this GEM to acompany the end credits. BOTH freaking masterpices.
This is one of those songs that touch my heart.. and soul. so beautiful.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame......FINALLY! 2017.....so happy for Yes!!
Are you serious??? Yes are finally being inducted in 2017??? That's fantastic! And long overdue!!!
Rather means diddly squat.yes have been top for decades.
Still mad they couldn't do this when Chris was still with us.
The Ladder is a great album.
this song STILL hits home!!
There is no better Yes song 20 years either side of this one. Sad but true -- a very very late period gem.
Truly one of YES' best.
Probably the most underrated track in YesWorld. #ClassicYes
I guess Im in the minority of loving Yes but actually preferring the stuff from the 80's to now over the old stuff. Dont get me wrong love all of it, but the newer albums to me have more emotion, and the melodies resonate with me. The album Talk is a freakin beautiful, overlooked album for instance. Trevor Rabin is amazing too. This track here, Homeworld, looove this sound for them, kinda old and new sounding to me.
Fully agree. Trevor is the real deal.
best ending of any game, this song with the credits.. only credits screen i bother watchin thru til the end :-)
This is one of the best songs, or albums after the initial breakup of the classic lineup. They did epics like "Mind Drive' in the 90's and that was fun, but the Ladder is remarkably of good quality in every way, and holds up after many plays. Still not quite as amazing as the old stuff, but they really had it together on this album. It seems to be a major effort, and doesn't feel like a cheezy re-union album.
I love this song; the first time I ever heard it was on a CD player on a flight to Phoenix.
Bob Fitzpatrick I was being nosy on Amazon and bought this...
Amazing...YES songs...great memories
For me the last truly great Yes song. The writing, the playing, the production are absolutely perfect. Such lost promise that this version of the band didn't stay together for a couple of more albums.
.. for me, the last truly great Yes song came a year later: 'In The Presence Of'.
Yeah.. a pity that Igor made his position in the band untenable, because he definitely added something, in the tradition of all the great Yes keyboardists ☹️
Peace joy and love!!!!
"Truth is a simple place...here for us all to see, reach as it comes to you, as it comes to me, as I will always need you inside my heart."
Too gorgeous. Love God and love one another.
The guide stone brought me here.
Now I'm home.
If Yes shows up at PAX for the gearbox conference I will lose my mind. Almost 20 years and we are finally getting HW3
No shit.... I'm stoked. And BBI/GB Should totally approach Yes about writing a song for HW3 haha
This brings me back.
Great song from later Yes period. Igor K. does a very good job at keyboards.
eye listen to some form of YES almost daily, music emotion, guitars,licks,long living, fantastic band for all times!!
Hope they put this in Homeworld 3 or commission Yes or someone to make a new ending song for the game.
I agree
phenomenal.
Brilliant..
A big improvement over the other Homeworld video on UA-cam visually!
An amazing video and beautiful lyrics.
Wonderful song ever
one of the best suite of YES.
I realize why I love this song so much - Jon Anderson is a preacher.
" Our home is our world, our life " is something most forget
Love me some Yes.
Great...beautifull song...thanks for share...
Ancient ones, they watch and listen, carry our wishes took it upon themselves to guide us through the endless skies
Clear reference to the Bentusi.
allen harper That’s unquestionable. Thank you 🙏
This might be the most excellent example of what Howe, Anderson, Squire, Wakeman and White (well, Bruford) achieved on Close to the Edge. It is rare that any artist can capture all that they were able to at their zenith. Thanks guys. Squire, we miss you terribly.
For Higara!
Когда ТЫ видишь ТАКОЕ...
Это как будто бог . взглянул на тебя на одно мгновение
И если ТЫ осторожно посмотришь назад
И что ты увидишь?
.......красоту
Ви б побачили нескінченність, і якби ви знали, що це правда і прекрасне, ви б не померли.
(Translated).
One day I hope my ID lists my homeworld right alongside my state and country.
KommandantDahl The last I heard, it'll take SpaceX 20 years to even put plans for a Mars colony into motion. Given that, and assuming 186 years (the amount of time it took to establish the USA from 13 disparate colonies) from the founding of the first Mars settlement to a full-blown self-sustaining nation, 200+ years would have to pass before anything on Mars would be treated as worthy of a passport. We'll all be dead by then. Sorry.
Ryan Gan
not if theres cryo
A marvellous audio visual compilation right here.......
"You are here: "
Peace is a word we teach
man i forgot how great your videos of yes songs are ... glad to be back here ... :-) thx
Man I wish I could play like steve or Chris
That gets me every single time.
Remember boys and girls, theres a bounty out on the source code for Homeworld Cataclysm, without it they can't remaster it.
Its propably lost forever, BUT, they CAN still do a remake to Catacylsm, it would just take a little bit of more effort.
Pedro de Sá This is the age of the internet, nothing is lost forever.... Someone must have made a copy... We used to think the original Doctor Who episodes were all lost forever.
***** I really, really jope you are right on this one, but im still skeptical. Let us all hope.
What, you mean, like, the original CD? I have one of those somewhere. I imagine there must be a lot of them though, so, I'm guessing they need more than just the game CD.
***** Nah the sourcecode is sort of like the blueprints for a program. What you have is the house that was built from the blueprints... Sure you have the house, but you have no idea how the house was designed without the blueprints.
A fitting song for such a great game.
Arguably the last great Yes song.
Not quite. Give love
A few after that but not many.
azapro911
Keys Studio came after this, surely you can't discredit that?
Some very good music on Magnification too.
@@barbararichards7202 'In The Presence Of'
I hope you fans of the game (I played both, back in the day) have discovered the game ap for your phone! Thank you, Yes, for introducing me to Homeworld!
... and there was me thinking that the Nineties had been a total loss in terms of creative mucic. Then, at the eleventh hour... this masterpiece!!
Yeah, I thought that about the 90's also... then I discovered a band called Spock's Beard...!
I LOVE this song!!!!!!
God damn, this has to be the best Yes song since Drama
Since... Drama.... ? The beginning of your sentence was promising, though...
you simply don't use this language when describing Yes. Understand?
You are here .
Such a great song.
This is EPICCCCCCCC!
Thumbs up if you're still listening to this while orbiting Hiigaria :D
Who playing Homeworld Remastered on screen one and jamming on this in screen two in 2018
I was so pissed with the remastered version that it didn't have this at the end.
Yeah, licensing bullshit. :(
Makes me wonder if it's in the original versions that shipped with the remastered collection. I know they edited the old versions to remove any mention of Multiplayer options. Wonder if they did the same to the credits music.
Probably. it is a new release, no matter how old the game is, you have to apply a license on that too.
That is why they changed the name of Homeworld: Cataclysm to Homeworld: Emergence on GoG, so they don't get sued by Blizzard, because of WoW!
I mean Rockstar went so far, that they removed some of the music like 10 years after they released San Andreas, because the license ran out.
Sucks...
There's a mod that puts this song back into Remastered.
+IncapableLP Copyrights dont apply backwards.
The way this song came to be is a trip. Yes was just… in town, and they wanted to write a song for a video game.
So they wrote a song for the video game.
I believe I am alive because of Yes the greatest band in the 🌎 world.
Great song
Hey Erna Hidayat from Paris/Indonesia this was 'YOUR SONG'!
One of the most important seventies bands making an album after Genesis and Pink Floyd retired.
Marillion is another one who keeps Progressive stile still alive !!!
@@ytaka72 There's a lot of modern prog bands. I was referring to bands from the 70's. Marillion are from the 80's(still a very good band though).
Love this song
My fav song ever
Homeworld brought me here.
same dude. rocking out to that credit scene before video streaming was available.
Yes brought me here.
Anyone listening to this epic song during pandemic?😎
Oh, yes, Ade F.
this was past their prime, but really really like this song
Grew up with a game called Homeworld, one of my fave games of all time, shame the 2nd didn't live up to it, Thanks for putting this up on UA-cam. Brings so many memories back. Good ones. :D
underratted album
This song is astonishing.
this is an awesome video man, hmm, I wonder if this would be the first song played on Mars :-D
Kari Sinkko It should be we should start a patition for this to happen and be sent up, to be the first song to be played on Mars.
First song played on Mars should be "Is There Life On Mars" by Bowie. ;-)
That's just silly, because as of that moment in time, there IS life on Mars, and it's no longer a question! I vote for Homeworld by Yes!
The first 7 cuts are very good to great (The Ladder is the best cut), then the wheels fall off. IMHO, this was the last good Yes album.
Roger Dean is the Visual Perfection of YES
Down with the Taiidan Emperor!
Best video game music Ever ! Epic !
Rush 's Tom Sawyer, Tom Sawyer = YES TOR MAW , Yes-hua Fantastic video and song
Nice one.
Magnificent.
This song was used in the game Homeworld. They are planning a release of the game soon. No release date yet.
It comes out today!
thefatrick they couldn't get that song, though :(
As good a song as anything in the Yes canon. I am an expert (harumph) on Yes, and stubbornly maintain that 'Ladder' and 'Magnification' were renaissance times for Yes. Very different albums truly showcasing their variable talents, with mature full-blown prog-rock or pop delicacies all over the place. This is arguably the last major 'classic' of the Jon Anderson era, yet is just one of a raft of good songs on 'The Ladder'. Turn it up.
I could agree with that to a certain extent. 'Magnification' is flawed to me in that it doesn't have keyboards, and I don't like the Orchestral parts. The Ladder is more remarkable, and is very under-rated, and unknown. But I would agree that probably the best stuff they did with the Howe lineup after 1980's Drama album is the Ladder.
Well you haven't listened to much Yes then.
The Ladder is great. It's not very poppy or at least not as much as their other post seventies releases and it's also not deliberately trying to sound like seventies prog yes(like the keys to ascension stuff). Great album.
I agree. The thing that a lot of 'old Yes diehards' fail to appreciate is how the band persevered with their vision of positivity over decades of social and industry circumstances that completely changed the conditions in which such music could be listened to, let alone created. History will be kind Yes, if not contemporary critics.
Mike Reiss
I don't believe that Yes were deliberately trying to sound like 70s music, on KTA material.
When you think, in terms of the line up of Jon Steve Chris Rick and Alan, it's the first time that they had played together in 16 years and I think Keys was a natural progression of that format of musicians.
I didn't like the way that Keys was first released, but when you hear it all together on the Keys studio Album, it works really well and to me it Yes in their true spirit.
absolute genius. The last great Yes song?
No, some great stuff on magnification also.
Mike Reiss
Dream a Time, it's a Yes Song dream come true for me.
rob s Not yet, I hope.
Fly From Here was OK, but certainly not great; but there was definitely some great stuff on Magnification.
@@mikereiss4216 'In The Presence Of'.
I am going to start a patition for this to be the first song played on Mars when we send the first manned missions to Mars.
I can scarcely think of a better song go for it bro
7:55 best part so sad
@Utorak007 YOU KIDDIN'? THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!
