  • Yeah, I know... I accidentally uploaded this to my 'classics' channel the other day. I need to move it here where it belongs.
    TANTRAS: The ritual seven notes of freedom to learn and to know the ritual of life. Life is a fight between sources of evil and pure love. Alan and Chris present and relay the struggle out of which comes a positive source. Nous
    sommes du soleil. We are of the sun. We can see.
    Lyrics:
    Nous sommes du soleil we love when we play
    Nous sommes du soleil we love when we play
    Open doors we find our way
    We look we see we smile
    Surely daybreaks cross our path
    And stay maybe a while
    Let them run, let them chase
    Let them hide between
    Constant doors will open eyes
    As life seems like
    Life seems like a
    Fight, fight, fight
    Maybe I'll just sing awhile
    And then give you a call
    Maybe I'll just say hello
    And say maybe that's all
    Hurry home as love is true
    Will help us through the night
    Till we're coming home again
    Our life seems like
    Life seems like a
    Fight, fight, fight
    Catch as we look and use the passions that flow
    As we try to continue
    We receive all we venture to give
    Maybe we'll just stand awhile
    And surely we can call
    Dreams are said to blossom courage
    Constant to the soul
    Change we must as surely time does
    Changes call the course
    Held inside we enter daybreaks
    Asking for asking four
    The source
    The source
    The source
    Sent as we sing our music's total retain
    As we try and consider
    We receive all we venture to give
    All we sai is our
    Soul constant sight listener
    We won't tender our song clearer
    Till we sail
    Then I will be there
    And I will be there
    As clearer companions
    Shall call to be near you
    They move around tell me that
    Move around surely sing
    As they don't seem to matter at all
    At all at all
    Hold me my love, hold me today call me round
    Travel we say, wander we chchoose love tune
    Lay upon me, hold me around lasting hours
    We love when we play
    We hear a sound and alter our returning
    We drift the shadows and course our way back home
    Flying home
    Going home
    Look me my love sentences move dancing away
    We join we receive
    As our song memories long hope in a way
    Nous sommes do soleil
    Hold, me around, lsting ours
    We love when we play
    Nous sommes do soleil
    Nous sommes du soleil
    Nous sommes du soleil

    I was 19 when this came out. Already captivated by Fragile and Close to the Edge, I listened to these four songs endlessly lying on my bed with my headphones-just me and them. Though critics blasted it I always knew there was something deep and moving under the layers and layers of melody and incredible instrumentation -either you felt it or you didn’t. It remains to me-unparalleled.

      It never ceases to amaze me when people begin to realize what they have in common. I saw Yes live at Hampton Rhodes Coliseum. I was ten feet from the stage, right next to the security personnel. We brought them back for five encores. Talk about energy: A solar flare would have a difficult time keeping up with Yes.

    Why this is in a different category than the rest is that Jon was light years ahead of any of the 1970s prog rocks in terms of Eastern thought. His songs are from his heart, pure light. I had NO idea what he was talking about at 14, but at 50 I see what he was saying --and he like early/mid 30s when he wrote this stuff. Things like: Maybe I'll just say hello and say maybe that's all. SO simple. Like the end of Soon . Like the time I ran away, turned around and you were standing close to me. He is a master of true heart! Timeless and universal

I'll never forget that moment - I GOT IT, for the first time. It isn't rational, linear thought, which is why it sounds so cryptic to Western ears - but it isn't, really. It's common sense of the soul.

    This album's right up there along with Close to the Edge and Gates of Delirium. That cycle of out-of-this-world insane key modulation that they go through at the end of the song, with Steve soloing over it... it's one of the greatest things in the world. I can literally listen to it over and over again and it never gets old. You don't even have to listen to the whole thing, really. That part's good enough to stand on its own.
    I had to listen to it thrice to get the key changes at the end: B minor, G minor, C# major, A minor, Eb major, B minor, F minor, C# minor, G minor, Eb major, A minor, F minor, B minor. Who says you have to keep your chord progressions simple?

    My first Yes concert was in 1977, I just turned 16 literally the day Elvis died. It was the GFTO tour and I knew a decent handful of songs but I fell in love with the band that night. I didn't know Tales, Relayer, or Yesteryears and it was a labor of love to discover them. I spent many nights with headphones and Yes. Ritual is my favorite off of Tales. There is a UA-cam video called top 10 bass performance of all time and Chris is on it doing the middle part of Ritual. Brilliant!

    I played Topographic Oceans day and night when it first came out. Hearing it again it still amazes. Forget about trends and genres, this is truly spiritual music. Indeed most of Yes music without Anderson is just pop music, and most (but not all) of Anderson's solo work is embarrassingly corny. But when they came together? YES! Even some of their later work (Magnification, The Ladder) ranks among their best in my opinion. Don't worry about being cool. Follow your heart. You are resonating with many like souls.

    I'm a big Yes fan, since 1973. Lucky enough to have seen them live 6 times throughout the years. It took me about a year to get through Topographic Oceans.
    It took a couple of more years to actually enjoy listening to it. Now decades later I truly love most of the album... especially this song. It's a true YES masterpiece. Beautiful, powerful, meaningful.

    Bill Bruford might be a better drummer overall, and is definitely more precise, but there's no denying Alan White's place is Yes. His longevity and service to the band aside, he is also an extremely powerful drummer. The way the blasts those drums during the solo in this song is with such a power than Bruford couldn't come close to.

      Good to read your comment, totally agree, Alan plays with real passion for the music.

    • @arkanoiddude
      @arkanoiddude 4 роки тому

      I agree...Bruford was a more technical player and was great at syncopation and giving the songs an off-kilter feel, but he was a very subtle drummer, never really a hard-hitter. Alan White was a hard-hitter. With that said I usually do not like Alan's takes on Bruford-era songs, he is incapable of playing in that awkward style that Bruford was so good at.

    • @Atom-56

      Yeah, any musician can play any song. But a lot of them have their own style of playing,, which isn't easy to duplicate, they can only play how it comes natural to them. We all know that no two people are the same.
      You can't deny, Alan was undoubtedly, the right replacement for Bill Bruford, different of corse, but he brought, a certain quality of depth and richness, to TFTO, which is his debut album for Yes.
      It's a shame when folk start bickering about who is the best drummer, guitarist or keyboard player.
      Throughout the years, Yes have had many changes to their lineup, and each musician, has made the diversity and brought an individual ambiance to each of their fantastic albums.

    • @RiverEdger

      Interestingly about that....one of the reasons Rick hated this album, was because he felt they were "bleeding things to death", and that this was not the direction he thought they should be going....the bleeding things quote was in part to things of that nature with the Howe quoting the Close to the Edge theme.

    This was the first studio project for Alan White as a member of Yes, and he clearly showed he had the mastery of musicianship that it took in order to collaborate with Chris, Steve and Rick, and also be on the same wavelength with Jon's writing and vocals. Alan's creativity really shines through in this masterpiece, The Ritual.

    Yes and this album took a beating from critics and fans and even Wakeman. But millions of Yes fans have a special place in their hearts for Tales. Plus so many of us have not just been entertained but truly moved by the beauty and message of their music. They call it ponderous, pretentious, the death of rock but to us it’s just beautiful, healing and inspirational. Their message was all about love. If that’s wrong then Im happy being wrong.

    I've always thought Tales was a bit too stretched out, but it certainly outdoes anything attempted today. Although being a huge YES fan since 1971, I love their music, but I've never truly understood anything Anderson had to say. It just sounded really great. Their music fit like a jigsaw puzzle as Rick Wakeman once explained to me and others at a greet and meet. They will always amaze me with their complex works of art!!.
