    Im so glad that you reacted to this song. From it's eastern influence to the majesty of the heavenly choirs and church organ. This is a musical masterpiece in every respect. It takes multiple listens to fully appreciate and understand this extraordinary composition. To think that 5 guys sat in a studio in Switzerland and wrote this is nothing short of amazing. It just shows that in 1977, amidst the onset of punk rock, there were artists still writing works of art...and not being influenced by the trends of the day. Yes has to be one of the best bands ever conceived, there skill as song writers and virtuoso musicians is all too evident in this extraordinary song. On behalf of all yes fans ...thank you so much for keeping there legacy alive and letting the younger generation experience and hear the music of Yes.

  • @sandraandmichaelfield1602

    Just "Close your eyes and listen." As most of us Yes fans well know, Yes music requires the listener to immerse themselves, with repeated listenings, and within the privacy of one's own head; therefore to allow the music to carry you on a journey within one's own soul. With Peace and Love to all! (Michael)

    Yes wrote several uplifting songs but Awaken is at the top of the tree. This song has such a strong positive emotional impact and is now nearly 50 years old (if you can believe that). Yes were masters of being able to strip their tunes back to just a few instruments to put focus into those quiet sections then after build the song up and up to even greater highs. The lead singer Jon Anderson has always sounded like that from the 1970s till now. If you are interested in seeing how such an epic is put together live I recommend Jon Anderson and Todmobile 2013. It is a jaw dropping ride.

    JonAnderson (vocalist, lyricist): "It's a spiritual song where Anderson is singing to what he calls "The master of our existence." These themes of enlightenment and seeking your higher self are a touchstone of Anderson's lyrics. He got the idea for this song after reading the book The Singer: A Classic Retelling of Cosmic Conflict by Calvin Miller. The book tells the story of God through the eyes of a troubadour."

    For me this song is always like a big prayer. I used to like to meditate on it. (or something similar) Nowadays I'm unfortunately too jittery for that. But I'm still pleasantly surprised at how round the song sounds, even though the musicians dance through various keys at absolutely skewed time signatures.

    Love your choices. I was traveling through Europe with friends (70’s) when we stumbled across Rick Wakeman recording pipe organ parts (for this album, your listening to here) in a beautiful church in Switzerland. Recording trucks and cables down the street. Everyone there knew, Yes was in town and there to work. The “Going For The One” vinyl I have is a nice reminder of some great times. Have seen some great Yes shows over the yrs, it’s uncanny how talented most lineups of the group have been. Trevor Rabin studio and live stuff as well. 90210 Regards

  • @mariochabot7972
    @mariochabot7972 Рік тому +2

    Awaken is one of my two favorites yes songs (with Close to the Edge). These musicians were virtuosis (specialy Steve Howe on guitars, Rick Wakeman on keys and the late Chris Squier on bass). And, on a personnal note, you are extremely beautiful when you feel the music. P.S. Sorry for my English, I'm a French Canadian...

  • @mattleppard1964

    I think you will also appreciate Close to the Edge, this was an epic piece from their 5th album 1972, and was their first deep foray into spiritual themes. It is a monumental achievement and features some of their most sublime moments. The release that followed, Tales from Topographic Oceans, was also deep into esoteric ideas and themes. I have grown to love YES more over the years for their exuberant, uplifting sound and philosophy. No other rock band has gone there.

      Awaken is the star song of hope. More so than Soon, Awaken exudes hopefulness in being abducted out of this sick and hopeless world. Im looking forward to bidding this awful world farewell.
      Tales From Topographic Oceans is the finest music ever written or recorded in all music history. And Ritual is the deepest and longest love song in all music history.
      Relayer is the greatest concept album ever made because the concept is The Relayer between God and the human species.
      And Close To The Edge is the greatest progressive rock song that no other artist can top, though Yes tried very hard several times to top it. The rest of that album set Yes up beautifully for what was to come soon thereafter.

    There is an early version of AWAKEN called EASTERN SKIES. It's found on the remastered CD Going for the One album. It's also found on an unreleased demo album from 1979 called Golden Age on which the sound isn't top quality but OK. Eastern Skies missing certain parts by way of them not being fully expanded like the AWAKEN version but is worth a listen. Also a few instrument changes.

    The part you say is "triangle" to me always evokes an Arabian-outer space feel. Also as great as Jon is a singer, Chris Squire, the bassist blended amazing vocal harmonies with him. The other trick is the keys, the guitar and the bass will often take turns matching or harmonizing with him too.
