Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart 1983 (Single, Album, 90125) Jo]n Anderson - Vocals Chris Squire - Bass Alan White - Drums Trevor Rabin - Guitar Tony Kaye - Keyboards
The band gets butthurt if anyone makes mention of this version of the video. LOL. While the video is worse, the song doesn't repeat, so it's better if you want to listen to the song.
Sofa king awkward. And I adore Yes. I feel like a comment down thread applies, "they got better!" (visual performance, musically these guys are so amazing)
RIP the three members of Yes Peter Banks (July 15, 1947 - March 7, 2013), aged 65 Chris Squire (March 4, 1948 - June 27, 2015), aged 67 Alan White (June 14, 1949 - May 26, 2022), aged 72
@@jasonweishaupt1828Hi I'm an artist, and not a spring chicken! I guess I should be dead by now. But many artist live a longer then most life, late 90's Peace😊
This was the very first song I heard on my first real HiFi stereo, in my room at 13, in 1983. I was blown straight to the Moon at the sound of that guitar intro. The seperation, the clarity, the power. There was no turning back from there. I was offically an audiophile.
Hope you have heard some of the bands fantastic earlier work, as , I'm sorry ,I couldn't stand this song , mainly cos of those stoopid synth samples in the song that bands of that era were experimenting with and seemed all the rage.. Best part , which does sound awesome,... The intro
Welcome to the club❤❤. I'm the same age as you. I still have headphones attached to my ears when it comes to music..this was such a kick ass album from start to finish❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@alukuhito Yes, right you are. And there were a lot of better songs than this one. And more than that, I agree with @Misa Velvet: Yes had made great prog rock albums in the first half of the Seventies. Why on earth did they have to play this cheap pop tune in 1983? I didn't like it back then, and I still don't like it.
@@PeterSpaeter96 I come back to this video for the visuals. I don't actually mind this music. I also like the duet the singer did with Gowan - Moonlight Desires - in the 80s, but 70s Yes was mind-blowing. You need to be in the right mood for it though. If you want something short and catchy to sing along to, better listen to something else. But, yeah, tons of crap music in the 80s. I don't even want to begin to start listing all that stuff.
@@alukuhito I think they mean that now there's so much trash on the radio(mainstream music) that it's hard to find any good melodies. The singers sing weird and the music is obnoxious. In the 80s, 90s and early 2000s there were some great on the radio. Now you have to go to you tube or dig thru Spotify to find really great artists. To hear a great mainstream masterpiece is very rare now.
Explosive! Magnificent band and song. Gotta have this one on repeat. I'm 69, it's 2023 and I'm still jamming to this song and gazing at Trevor Rabin.❤😊❤❤❤
This song changed everything in so many ways . For me it was hard to understand the way they did it because at the time it was impossible Trevor Horn did something not even the band wanted as history goes it is still one of the best productions out there.

This is the first time I see this video for this song. Back then, the video they used for this song was totally different and not so outdated - some segments of it are also mixed into this video
2022! As a kid I used to hear this song and liked it immediately- a different sound from most of the rest, catchy hook, easy melody- as a little kid the lyrics were mostly over my head (I was 7 at the time it came out) but I wanted to hear it every time it came on! That hasn't changed. I never saw the video til very recently; though I grew up in the MTV era, we were in bed by the time MTV was in full swing (8pm, so early right?) so I never saw it as a kid.
I first heard this song in Arcadia CA in January 1984 when I was a teenager visiting from Australia to march in the Rose Bowl Parade. I can still listen to this music today and it instantly transports me back in time. I really admire the vocal hook, the simple but effective bass guitar riff, the improv in the interlude and the mix of drum and guitar sounds. Long live the power of music!
One of the greatest songs ever written. No matter where I am or what I'm doing whenever I hear this song playing I stop and listen. Thank you Yes for writing such a classic song. This song holds a dear place in my heart like Broken Wings by Mr. Mister.
That opening guitar riff, drumming, and bass is absolutely legendary! Acknowledgement to the keyboardist! Lead vocalist has that so 1980s unique voice!

It was 37 years ago! Everyone talking how awkward and cheap it was-Geez. The music is timeless and will always be a favorite, to many from the day. Have to admit though... it's hilarious to watch
I think this was made at a time when music videos were still an afterthought. Things were still very much radio based and most people never saw the music video. As the 80's went along and the technology improved, the music video would of course become the new standard must-have feature to go with the music.
Nope, this video sucked even when it first came out, especially the version with the music break and full video. They definitely look like they don't want to do the video, and they likely didn't.

Those were the best days, to be there alive as a teenager in the 1980s was very special and the music is unrivaled, it was the evolution of the analog masters of the 60s and 70s reaching its peak. I don't know what happened in the 1990s with the introduction of hip-hop, reggae, and rap everything went into a nosedive.
Hip-hop, reggae, and rap all pre-date the 90s. Bob Marley started in the 60s; Yellowman has been active since 1974. Hip-hop has been around since at least the 70s. I’m not sure how perfectly good genres that had been around for a while sent the 1990s, “…in a nosedive.” I was a teenager in the 90s, and my biggest problem with that decade was every record exec trying to find the next Nirvana.
Absolutely fantastic track , as soon as you hear the intro, you know exactly the track is going to be worth listening too , never disappoints me for sure .

The difference between the 80s and 2020s: Back then, 95% of talent, crafts, skills, genius and money was invested in music and the remaining 5% in video. Today some productions seem as if the management said: No, no, 5% is really too much for the music ...
Good to hear man. But, in no way shape or form is YES an underrated band. Neck and neck with Rush for the title of greatest prog rock band of all time, at least IMHO. Cheers!
Em 1983... Eu tinha 8 anos e já ouvia essa música... Hoje m 2023, tenho 48 anos e continuo a ouvir... e em 2073... vou ter 98 anos e acreditem... estarei ouvindo esse belíssimo clássico dos anos 80... De Jundiaí, SP Brasil...
O q impressiona é a animação da banda no clipe. Kkkkkk. Somos uma geração privilegiada de termos curtido e ainda estarmos curtindo a melhor geração da música....
Not long after this album came out, I was hiking in the Andes somewhere in Chile, and noticed that somebody had gathered some cobbles along a creek and painstakingly constructed a big YES logo on the creekbank. A few weeks later, I got off a bus at a little Andean village, and somebody had a boom box blasting "Owner of a Lonely Heart" over the square! It seemed incongruous, but it was most entertaining.
My neighborhood was erected in 1983. An old high school buddy of mine had this album; Yes's 90215 in the late 1990s. I remember hearing this wonderful song on the radio in the 1980s all the time and it always got me. The riff, the singing, the message, and the playing are timeless and Yes.
Other than wearing out their albums on cassettes, yes cassettes, and hearing their music a billion times in the 80's, I paid no attention, until a few months back because of the quarrantine, Jon Anderson started releasing enormous amounts of self produced music on his youtube channel. I happened across it and found my future. All I can say is its spiritual in message for me and its changed my life. Songs like Where Will you Be. What a fantastic journey at 54
Before '83 I was listening mostly to Classical, Easy Listening, Disco, Country. You can imagine the effect that sounds like this had on me. I was hooked!
I'm 24 and fairly new with the band Yes. I've grown to really love the album 'Fragile' as well as 'Closer to the edge' and I just cant wrap my mind around them being the same band that came out with this song
I love many songs by Yes, whether it be 'Awaken,' 'Close to the Edge' or 'Love Will Find a Way.' But 'Roundabout' and 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' will always be the songs that hold a special place within me.
The song - a masterpiece. The music video - a lesson.
Yes!!!
Yes.
@Albus Regnum couldn't have said it better myself.
@Albus Regnum you have to admit that the video is awful...
@@johnnylussac i think its brilliant!
Heard this song a million times....this is the FIRST time me seeing the video
Me too.
This is NOT the regular video that broke this song in the US. That was like a mini-film compared to this…whatever you call it.
Dissapointing isn't it
@@Dlweta57Majorly. Like comparing an orgasm to being stabbed.
Why is the singer moving like he’s making fun of disabled people?
This is offensive!
@@jbauer72 lol nice analogy

So futuristic song. Well ahead of its time.
Magnificent tune indeed
Same here!
Now it is 40 years ago 🙈...
Director: "How awkward do you want the music video be?"

I'm white but this is the whitest dancing I've ever seen.

Sofa king awkward. And I adore Yes. I feel like a comment down thread applies, "they got better!" (visual performance, musically these guys are so amazing)

That's too bad. Forever remembered
RIP to the legendary Chris Squire as well

Jons voice is so iconic, it blows away his own tracksuit pants, AND his dancing.
I was just thinking that Trump has better moves than this guy.
It was awful watching him live. But then he would just throw back his head a let rip a pure, clear note that thrilled my soul.
Yes... Its truly..... Forgettable..( dance moves and clothing). Not like their earlier work
... he has that early 1980s dad look DOWN 👇🏼
This was the very first song I heard on my first real HiFi stereo, in my room at 13, in 1983. I was blown straight to the Moon at the sound of that guitar intro. The seperation, the clarity, the power. There was no turning back from there. I was offically an audiophile.
Be careful, Joe Biden is an audiophile as well. Oh wait....I meant Pedophile.

@@Dlweta57 this song is ok but i agree"Yours is no disgrace' and other earlier songs blow this away
The young generation today should focus on the words of this classic.

Your opinion is garbage.

The ratio of awesome music to awkward visuals is staggering
Owner of a lonely heart was way ahead of its time in 1983.
I wish we had that now.
Great observation... and the clothes were the future of cool (though I hope that future split off into another parallel universe)...
Eric Singer Owner of many parrots. It looks like them and the director dropped acid and said..."hey let's make that video now". And it's amazing,
The singers goofy and awkwards movements make me giggle, like the most inflexible and awkward dance ever.
@@moapchan1905 yes he's certainly not a dancer is he, ha ha
One of the most beautiful songs of the 80'. In memory to the unforgettable Chris Squire & Alan White.
We blew the entire budget on four parrots. So look cool guys

One of those parrots saved Roger Moore's arse in For Your Eyes Only.
The parrots cost more than the set.

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or lose her
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you - and that's the only way
Shake - shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own decision
They confused me so
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
And don't you hesitate at all - no no
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
[repeat]
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Owner of a lonely heart
Thank you for this!❤
Thanks
While the video is hilariously outdated, the song and this band are phenomenal
It's hilariously old, hahahaha! Wonderful song.
This is the first time I see this video for this song. Back then, the video they used for this song was totally different and not so outdated - some segments of it are also mixed into this video
Totally agree with you
It's no more outdated now than it was when it came out.
The video is based on the 70’s tv show Land of the lost
A mesmerizing, haunting, addicting song. Could listen to this over and over……and do
How can you not love this. This is what a music video from 1983 was like. About as low budget as you can possibly make it.
Ha! It probably cost 100 grand!
Jon Anderson was one of the coolest cats in the 70’s and he just doesn’t know what to do with himself here. This is still a great song.
@David LeSaffre Bollocks man. Yes we’re main stream at their time. Jon was looking for something more meaningful and he found vangelis
Its just right the producer said dont move much ,we will capture there imagination
He cant moove himself
@David LeSaffre ZZ Top prog?! Sound pretty conventional blues rock to me.
@David LeSaffre they weren't the only prog band to do this. Genesis were very successful and John Whetton of King Crimson had success with Asia.
80s songs get better as they age :)
That's a fact
We really were spoilt with so many good songs back then ,I agree sounds even better now.
Absolutely absolutely 😊😊😊
This joint was bumping. One of their best numbers.
This song is epic and this video tragically lame
The original video was good
they all look stiff 😉
So bloody true
They could do the song justice by a much stronger video.....like the song.
Back in the day, when music mattered more than performance.
No because your the song being epic back then you hardly paid any attention to the video being as you call it lame😗
I dont watch, i just close my eyes and listen. pure magic
Congratsos for writing this line!
yeah because it's one of the worst music videos ever filmed.
i've seen them on stage, absolutely a great show , 45 years ago ; i c'ant believe it ; ,this song never gets old !

One of my favorite songs by them off their best album they ever did :) Changes in my opinion is the best song off the album.
Wow. Even the birds appreciate this fabulous presentation. Incredible vocals and unique sound effects.
That opening guitar riff, drumming, and bass is absolutely legendary!
Acknowledgement to the keyboardist!

i love this song, but the video is just hilarious ...look at Anderson!!!
White sandals with white socks?
He is trying his best 😭
His arms are just silly.
He's moving himself
Weird video 😂
what a charismatic, energetic frontman
LOL. Sarcasm at its best!
😂😂
+voutespancar For sure, he's got a magnetic personality. He looks very impressive.
AHAHAHAHA !!!!!! Love your sense of humour mate!
Much different experience in concert
Brilliant song
For me, this song just works in any decade anyone wants to listen to it, still sounds fresh as it was then.
Este tema en especial nos hace sentirnos que fuimos y seremos dueños de una época privilegiada, vivan los 80s!!
Y la mejor epoca Los 80's..Jamas sera igualada
Mom! Dad is singing in the living room again.
God bless.
This cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh.
🤣
The days when a hit song could still be by a group of old dudes.
Anderson Voice of angel...
This song was/is in a class by itself....the best!
It was 37 years ago! Everyone talking how awkward and cheap it was-Geez. The music is timeless and will always be a favorite, to many from the day. Have to admit though...
it's hilarious to watch
I’m 51 and remember the song and video when released. Outstanding song .... video, not so much.
Lots of acts had much better videos on MTV in 1982 (when it came to my town and I started watching it). This...would be a bad video in 1966.
I think this was made at a time when music videos were still an afterthought. Things were still very much radio based and most people never saw the music video. As the 80's went along and the technology improved, the music video would of course become the new standard must-have feature to go with the music.
@@taekwondotime thanks for telling us what we know buddy
@@anthonymcardle1985 Most people don't know until I tell them.
Simply a masterpiece!
Love this. Combining technology of the time making an amazing tune that has stood the test of time.
Absolutely. I still love this amazing tune.
Mágico; Fantástico, Está Música É De Outra Galáxia
Jajaja asu mismo es !!!

Oui ça peut que venir des années 80 Pour l’éternité
"You are the moves You make."
Yes's moves:
To everybody who says the video is bad, you're right, but it's what makes it memorable
Nope, this video sucked even when it first came out, especially the version with the music break and full video.
They definitely look like they don't want to do the video, and they likely didn't.
@Sandra Braithwaite you've got yourself a subby.
@X-WAYZ
Oh fuck your fake love, asshole!
Assuming you're talking to me, I like the song, hate the video and always did, what's your problem?

Yess this was the 80ies! :-)
Those were the best days, to be there alive as a teenager in the 1980s was very special and the music is unrivaled, it was the evolution of the analog masters of the 60s and 70s reaching its peak. I don't know what happened in the 1990s with the introduction of hip-hop, reggae, and rap everything went into a nosedive.
the 1990s were stiil good. Times had just changed from soft rock 1980s music . We had thicker skin by the 90s & 2000s
Hip-hop, reggae, and rap all pre-date the 90s. Bob Marley started in the 60s; Yellowman has been active since 1974. Hip-hop has been around since at least the 70s.
I’m not sure how perfectly good genres that had been around for a while sent the 1990s, “…in a nosedive.” I was a teenager in the 90s, and my biggest problem with that decade was every record exec trying to find the next Nirvana.
Absolutely fantastic track , as soon as you hear the intro, you know exactly the track is going to be worth listening too , never disappoints me for sure .
Move yourself
You always lived your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
[chorus]
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now the eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No, not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself, give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
[chorus]
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own decision
They confused me so
Owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go look before you leap
Owner of a lonely heart
And don't you hesitate at all, no no
[chorus x2]
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Up
teacher: what's ur fav band?
me: yes
lol😂😂
❤ it, helped me go through a divorce in 84.....I still like it, to this day 2024.
Life waiting for you! 👍🏴
RIp Chris Squire and Alan White.
This album was what lead me into the wonderful worful of Yes
Yes!! Love them both too ❤
My all time favorite prog rock band. Jon Anderson is a wonderful talent.
I agree!! Except from his mooves in this s.c video... Best song almost ever, but this video.. is it comedy? lol
Lord Hinkie >prog
I have been hearing this son too much, and never bore me it. exelent.
The difference between the 80s and 2020s: Back then, 95% of talent, crafts, skills, genius and money was invested in music and the remaining 5% in video.
Today some productions seem as if the management said: No, no, 5% is really too much for the music ...
In each decade there was good and bad stuff. The difference is that lot of good music today is not mainstream. It is not played on the radio.
@@peterhopqk That's the problem. It's not that everything in 2020 sucks, it's that the good stuff is rarely played.
I love the 80’s so much ❤
Long live the 80's !
What an incredible Era.
The Parrot was the most animated thing in the whole video
LOL
*ParrotS. xD
Maybe its on purpose cuz these guys were talented. Their music dominated, unlike trashy crap today! 😠
Obviously the video creators where not at the level.
The actual birds or the singer? Both look like birds
Great song... helped me out of depression and suicidal tendencies when I was a young lad..props and kudos to this underrated band.
That's good to hear. This song has a great message.
Then you saw this video.
Good to hear man. But, in no way shape or form is YES an underrated band. Neck and neck with Rush for the title of greatest prog rock band of all time, at least IMHO. Cheers!
In Memoria di Alan White (Yes)!
😥❤🌹🎼💎
Em 1983... Eu tinha 8 anos e já ouvia essa música... Hoje m 2023, tenho 48 anos e continuo a ouvir... e em 2073... vou ter 98 anos e acreditem... estarei ouvindo esse belíssimo clássico dos anos 80...
De Jundiaí, SP Brasil...
😂legal e eu vou ter 99 kkk
O q impressiona é a animação da banda no clipe. Kkkkkk.
Somos uma geração privilegiada de termos curtido e ainda estarmos curtindo a melhor geração da música....
Jon Anderson reminds me of a P E Teacher in a jr.high school class room
producers: what name do you want the band to be called?
yes: yes
What "Suggestive Nods" wasn't Good?
They were 40+ years ahead of the meme. :D
Not long after this album came out, I was hiking in the Andes somewhere in Chile, and noticed that somebody had gathered some cobbles along a creek and painstakingly constructed a big YES logo on the creekbank. A few weeks later, I got off a bus at a little Andean village, and somebody had a boom box blasting "Owner of a Lonely Heart" over the square! It seemed incongruous, but it was most entertaining.
My neighborhood was erected in 1983. An old high school buddy of mine had this album; Yes's 90215 in the late 1990s.
I remember hearing this wonderful song on the radio in the 1980s all the time and it always got me.
The riff, the singing, the message, and the playing are timeless and Yes.
Other than wearing out their albums on cassettes, yes cassettes, and hearing their music a billion times in the 80's, I paid no attention, until a few months back because of the quarrantine, Jon Anderson started releasing enormous amounts of self produced music on his youtube channel. I happened across it and found my future. All I can say is its spiritual in message for me and its changed my life. Songs like Where Will you Be. What a fantastic journey at 54
My gosh, the intro riff is still impressive to me all these years later. ❤
Hey are you a Leo ? I think you are one
@@palaceofwisdom5968 I am. What gave it away?
@@kayellen100 Well , actually I know it cuz I saw your comment on another video (astrology)
@@palaceofwisdom5968 lol. I had a feeling.....
@@kayellen100 I am a Leo too and we are the best no matter what
Amazingly this dude isnt a dancer but he appears totally comfortable and himself. For that i LOVE this video. Terrific song from YES. A CLASSIC.
Before '83 I was listening mostly to Classical, Easy Listening, Disco, Country. You can imagine the effect that sounds like this had on me. I was hooked!
That verse guitar part makes me weep it’s SO good
I'm 24 and fairly new with the band Yes. I've grown to really love the album 'Fragile' as well as 'Closer to the edge' and I just cant wrap my mind around them being the same band that came out with this song
Some important different members…
Une bombe artistique à l'époque déjà 39 ans! Incroyable groupe et succès qui est valable et indémodable d'ailleurs je l'écoute toujours en 2022.
Remember days into the GTA Vice city listeling this song FLASH FM
Im 30 and I still play vice city on my ps2
@@HELICOPTERmike7785 Are you still a virgin?
me too mate, golden old memories from FlashFM
Same back when I was in middle school
Vice city was that game💙💜🖤
I love many songs by Yes, whether it be 'Awaken,' 'Close to the Edge' or 'Love Will Find a Way.' But 'Roundabout' and 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' will always be the songs that hold a special place within me.
