Yesterday, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot at work waiting to go in and this song came on the radio. I was deep in thought of all things I had going on and I just close my eyes and for a moment I was a teenager again in the 70's without a care in the world. It was one of those moments where you actually felt transported in time and space. Those were truly the wonder years. I went into work with a tear in my eye and a load lifted off my shoulders.
Listening to this and I mentally travel back in time to the Fall of 1971 and 11th grade. Part of my life’s soundtrack at that time. Part of many peoples’ life soundtrack at that time…
One of the most beautiful songs ever!!! It needs more than 100 likes (and no dislikes) Heard it on the radio once & now I listen to this song every day!!! Thank you from a 16 years old girl who loves this music :)
Whenever I hear Yes (or Asia), I cannot do so without thinking of Roger Dean and his kick ass art! Til this day, I have a large book of his art work and other artistic ventures.
The lyrics of this piece are so meaningful to me. Through my perspective, I've found that since the song symbolically sets this "chess" situation, it is trying to show the importance of the decisions we make and how they affect the people around us. In particular, the lyrics; "Don't surround yourself with yourself." implies not only that we should act with compassion towards our peers, acquaintances, friends, etc. but also that if we overthink things in our minds, it makes it harder for us to communicate and bond with the people we care about and thus, we "Surround ourselves with ourselves". Although I haven't really played chess that much at all, I still understand the symbolism of the piece which is an aspect that allows the song to express itself in a way that perfectly creates a deeper meaning while still preventing that meaning from becoming difficult to understand. Also, in my mind, when you "move back two squares", you're basically calming yourself and reassuring yourself that you have the capacity to make a positive change based on your choices.
IN a sad way I just realized these days are never returning.....been waiting for 42 years....going to coliseums..smoke.....people just grooving....now it's all sheds....crap....
....Hermosa Beach, California down by the Green Store, hardly moving a muscle lounging on the beach and listening to inspiring music like this, getting browner by the hour, a very mellow scene, get up and jog down the beach, beautiful and friendly girls everywhere, and it's the summer of 1972. Walk over to the Green Store to get a cold drink where I hear the owner complaining about people violating the parking laws, I'd give ten thousand dollars to go back there for one hour.
I love The Yes Album, one of the best disc ever made by a group and one of my fav also. I'm a big fan of four tracks on this one: Yours is no disgrace, Starship trooper, I've seen all good people and Perpetual change. What a band! Bill Bruford drum solo on Perpetual Change.. one of best Yes moment ever recorded! =))))

Thanks for the lovely compliment, you made my day!! :) I watched your video and I gotta say I think it's much better than mine, you use all sorts of effects, I have no idea how to do that!!
Genius.....I mean how did they come up with the lyrics for the last half of the song? They should have made it the whole side of a album, then it could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.............
Thanks for clarifying. When I chose the pics for the video I googled Roger Dean images, I'm not familiar with Asia album art and the pic in question does not have the Asia logo on it like on the album cover. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :)
Don't surround yourself with yourself ........ & remember to be kind to yourself ........ from a a newly right arm amputee ......... be kind to yourself ....
I'm not!! *I've Seen All Good People: Your Move* is a Yes song written by Jon Anderson and Chris Squire and is from their 1971 album *The Yes Album* and that is what you're hearing here, not Asia. As far as I know, Asia never covered this song.

Ah the memories. From back in the days when humans still walked the earth and made human music. Thanks for the fuel for my time machine! :D
+Bob Dobalina You're welcome! :)
+Bob Dobalina What happened to the human days on Earth? I'm so glad I saw and were part of them before they were gone.
+Bob Dobalina I LOVE your nod to the Monkees!
But they didn't even write their own music. That's not even Michael Nesmith's real hat
+Klaid Dael "Bob Dobalina" was the nod I was referring to, as in "Mr. Dobalina, Mr. Bob Dobalina," from the song "Zilch".
The first Yes song I heard and I was instantly in love...
i was your age when this came out and i was just as enamored of it then. it's still incredible after 42 years. thanks for appreciating good music.
Still sends tingle up my spine...even after more than 40 years!
One of the most beautiful songs ever!!! It needs more than 100 likes (and no dislikes)
Heard it on the radio once & now I listen to this song every day!!!
Thank you from a 16 years old girl who loves this music :)
Been humming this song for the past 2 weeks. Finally got around to listening to the real thing. I feel much better :-)

This song is where I run to for a dose of Happiness.
This is one of my Life's Anthems. God bless YES.
Almost Famous brought me here
Saw this band in London in the 70's........Love this song it one of their best.
Why does this song somehow never, ever, no matter how many times you play it over and over again, EVER get tired?
Terrific Song! Yes~ I'm on my way......
seen them about 4 times and every time the music lifted my soul, really great musicians.

I'm moving back two squares! Today is dedicated to this song. I heard it on radio this morning on way to work. It says alot to me now.
This song takes me back to memories of my husband in our younger years
Whenever I hear Yes (or Asia), I cannot do so without thinking of Roger Dean and his kick ass art! Til this day, I have a large book of his art work and other artistic ventures.
damn it... RIP Chris... thank you and the rest of the mates for the wonderful music
Rest in peace and thank you for the tunes.
Are you thinking of Chris?

Hmmm excellent, I just love it without thinking about the meaning but great to read your interpretation
saw them in the 70s and Steve Howe waved when I yelled when they left the stage..great rock memory when I was a kid
RIP, Chris Squire, the best rock bassist ever.
Why does this song make me cry?
It's been that long since I won, that's why.
you win friend, love, bic
R.I.P. Chris thanks for the music and the memories
IN a sad way I just realized these days are never returning.....been waiting for 42 years....going to coliseums..smoke.....people just grooving....now it's all sheds....crap....
Everyone needs to listen to the words of this song and reevaluate themselves. ...
agreed! :-)
Terry Lawrence Indeed!
Not only did it make me a more considerate person, my chess skill also improved. :)
I miss their music. This is one of their best! Thanks for posting it.
I love this song actually all of their music is amazing gotta love prog rock
Thanks for sharing! :) I was also a teenager in the 70s, great time to grow up!!
I have always enjoyed Yes songs, it's fun and makes u smile and ours a extra step into you're dance :)
2:49 - 3:31 is my favorite part. But the song building up to it is what makes it so good.
couldn't agree more man :)
The first Yes song I heard - I loved them straightaway :)
Thanks so much for this, this is the best band ever! My mom is flying out to see them in a couple weeks in California!
Love the little woodwind part in the background

Great song, great album
That organ gave me goosebumps.
I love it's use in rock and prog rock music. Boston, Yes, ELP, Kansas.
Saw them live last night in Salt Lake. Sounding as good as ever. Unbelievable.
Terrific job, just watched this synced w/ my ipod and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your effort. R.I.P. Chris Squire.
squinkque Thanks! :)
I love the descending key changes at the end.
Don't we all? Wow. Real music.
Such a great song.. thank you for posting :)
You're welcome! :)
Fascinating lyrics, but I don't know why you wouldn't surround yourself with yourself. :listen to the lyrics, and know your music.
43 years ago. Where did time go?
Yeah, where did it?
Three years ago, where DID the time go?
The first time I herd these song I cry when it made me think of sad memories
I love The Yes Album, one of the best disc ever made by a group and one of my fav also. I'm a big fan of four tracks on this one: Yours is no disgrace, Starship trooper, I've seen all good people and Perpetual change. What a band!

Thanks for the lovely compliment, you made my day!! :) I watched your video and I gotta say I think it's much better than mine, you use all sorts of effects, I have no idea how to do that!!
Boa demais .. sem palavras.. linda musica.. viva Yes..
If only the musicians creating this music knew how they affect us...
Dude: You must be from Asia if you cannot recognize this is Yes--such a unique sound, a band would be risking humiliation to cover it. ;)
Genius.....I mean how did they come up with the lyrics for the last half of the song? They should have made it the whole side of a album, then it could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.............
I just heard this song in the trailer for a new Reese Witherspoon movie called Home Again. I wonder if the song will be in the movie too.
This song is about chess..and I love it!
The chess reference is an analogy of life.
Don't surround yourself with yourself move back to square...love it too !!!
Love this love yes
Y. E. S. !!!
Middnight Morpheus
Just a classic.
It would have been wicked if the lyric was: Send an instant COMET to me...Initial it with loving care. That would have been gorgeous!
Has it really been more than 45 years since this made?
Can't play chess.....but this is one of my favourite tracks of all time.
Thanks for clarifying. When I chose the pics for the video I googled Roger Dean images, I'm not familiar with Asia album art and the pic in question does not have the Asia logo on it like on the album cover. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :)
