Now that I can no longer work I spend alot of time looking up lyrics to songs from my younger days.I am learning that I never knew what half of them were saying too.What a trip.
You're not kidding, I've just had my wisdom teeth out the other day and accidentally ran my prescription for painkillers through the wash like a moron... I'm using music as a natural painkiller or at least a distraction until the dentist opens in 2 hours so I can explain what happened
Cory Unferferth I Hope not, and anyone who has is an indescribable fucking dumbass, you almost sound proud which you most assuredly should not, you can fuck your life up with that shit all you want without ever feeling true happiness real feelings like the ones you get from listening to beautiful music are 100 times more meaningful, happy and real than the artificial bullshit that the weak minded people that take drugs get.
The writer was clearly intelligent, creative, and HIGH AS A KITE while composing this number. My kid comes up with other-worldly gems like this.. only when high. It mesmerized me at 10. I get it at 60.
Well, I spent a lot of time listening to this song, through headphones back in the 70's And I was most definitely HIGH AS KITE while doing so. And it was glorious...
I’m only 42 but these songs were all over the radio an most of my family were in construction an now I’m a carpenter an I’ve heard this song 10,000 times an as I get older I continue to truly appreciate how great they are an you know they’re great because when they come on the radio is turned up! An you know when you’re working with with an older guy at least one things for sure THE MUSIC WONT SUCK
@@MissAmericarules I don't know the time spot. But the lead singer sings a line. Then the backing singers go, "Just give peace a chance." Maybe I can find it.
I've always loved this song, but was never a dedicated YES fan until my daughter's now ex formed a YES tribute band. They were pretty good, and because of them I bought YES albums. My LH. and I saw YES in the front row a few times and it was magnificent every time! 💕
I had the "diddit diddit diddit..." part stuck in my head all week and none of my friends could figure out what song it was, then I finally remembered "for the queen to use"!
I grew up on the Southside of Chicago in the 70s listening to this album drinking a couple of quarts of Slhlitz malt licqer bull and smokin weed and fricken jammin this tune THE GOOD OL DAY'S!
This song speaks to me on different levels, like the way most people are sooo wrapped up in themselves; uncaring about the plight of others - dispassionate; how that they have what they want in life and are completely satisfied with themselves. But, that's ok! I'm not going to let less transcendent beings affect me - I'm on my way! And, don't surround yourself with yourself, meaning I'm not going to let my problems get me down! I'll step back and start over!
Amen! This song is about everything, and anything that would obsess anyone, but to those who are very aware yet just walk away not caring is who this is about
was going to leave a comment about how freaking great the music of "my day" was compared to a lot of it in more recent years. Then I realized that omg! I'm my mother! :/
Hehehe!!! I don't know how old you are, my friend (probably a bit older than me), but my parents' music was Jimi and Janis, so I kinda have to bow to them. Even my grandparents' music was that amazing swing band stuff, Glen Miller, Dorsey Brothers, etc. I wasn't old enough to appreciate Yes in the early 70's (though like everyone I loved Roundabout), but prog was my thing in high school ('81-'84), and I wore out my mom's Fragile LP (bought her a new one). What I mean to say is that, although Yes was truly a special phenomenon in a very crowded field, musical greatness seems to come around in some form or another all the time. I lost touch with new music in the 90's. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were probably the last two bands that excited me (more on an emotional level), so I don't know where the genius is nowadays. I bet it's out there though! :) BTW, I teach digital music production in a middle school (ages 11-14), and my students have really taught me to appreciate some of the artistry in genres I never would have considered on my own, like rap and dance/pop. (One boy did a version of a Justin Timberlake song last term that really surprised me! Another boy is doing his version of the same song this term.)
Every time I turn around I'm doing or saying something just like my farther scary. PS the music of our generation is the only real music that's worth a damn imo. I can't imagine what my grandkids are going to listen to.
I was born in the wrong decade! I missed ALL of the great music that my parents got to hear! I'm so jealous of those of you who grew up with this genre of music!
I remember listening a radio station in San Diego, California back in the early 70's (KCBQ) when they played songs by Yes, Chicago, Ten Years After, Santana, and so other good rock bands and talking to my friends and asking: "Have you heard de new song from (______ band name here)". It was Good to wait for a new hit of your favorite band then. Good times when we thought we could bend the world. 🙂
The great thing about good music is that it's timeless. Only loss is not seeing some bands live. That said, I used to hate this when I was a kid when my dad listened to it, now it's one of my favorite bands.
I also find it interesting that the music seems to go along with the timeline of life... starts out kind of slow and steady, gets into love and relationships in the teens and twenties section of the timeline of the song, really steps up the tempo into the joining the "Rat Race" of life... (repeated "seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way") to a peak tempo and almost frantic music, like the days going by over and over and over, much the same way as the rat race part of life. We acknowledge every one else (all good people) but keep on our own course through the rat race (I'm on my way) until in the later part of life in the song it starts to quickly wind down fading away with each repeated "Seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied i'm on my way" while the frantic music stops and the deep church like organs fire up and start to play some ominous music that we might associate with death being on it's way as the rat race and life fade away with each repeat of the lyrics getting slower and more twisted, until it's gone.
Absolutely love the quality of Jon Anderson’s voice and the texture of all the instruments in this song. Especially the throaty quality of Chris Squire playing a Rickenbacker bass guitar. It always transports me back in time to when music was everything in life to me. It gave me so much pleasure. I never needed any drugs to go on a trip listening to bands like Yes. Just listening to the opening of Santana’s Black Magic Women is almost spiritual. The sound of the distant piano, all the percussion instruments and then the magical breeze from the Bar Chimes. And of course the opening guitar licks from Carlos. I just want to float back in time each time I hear these songs. Yes I am a very lucky person to have been young and able to hear so much beautiful music.
When first heard this at it's conception I knew I was also on my way...and I've been on my way ever since. Thanks for uploading. Yes will never be equalled.
i love our rock bands of the 70s 80s and 90s. The new generation may think its stupid, but i really dont care, I still listen to all of them and I am buying all the music and media for my life long listening.
I'll never forget the first time I saw YES in concert. It was so far beyond my expectations! The most gifted musicians!!! Especially Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman!
@@rushfan1970 My husband lead me to listen to YES while we were dating. We saw them on the Tormato tour. The sound in concert was impeccable, like listening to their albums with headphones. The acoustics were amazing and I have come to appreciate all their talent.
@@loissnow3020 WOW, so happy to hear from folks still loving YES! I saw them later-- Union & Masterworks, & they were still mind-blowingly amazing!!! Thank you!
Fantastic song. Memories--heard a cover band named Mirage play this tune several times while in college in the late 70's. Top notch band, top-notch rendition. Good stuff.
Heart performed this Aug 20. 2019 and blew everyone away. Sounded like they added a choir but they didn't. Very interesting and surprising that they pulled it off so well plus Nancy sang the lead. Awesomeness!!!
Yes was truly a gift in my life, as a fifteen year old trying to figure it all out. Such talent, they could take you to another place. We used to care about quality of sound back then. Get the album (record) or 8-track turn off the lights, put the headphones on and listen in one sitting. They were all great, but there's no mistaking that Cris squire bass. So unique.
If I remember correctly, it was the Inglewood Forum, LIVE, while still in high school; DUH, par for the course, we snuck in. Rick Wakeman was outstanding

Black and white, ups and downs, I think it's a metaphor about life. In a way that it can be understood like a game, like chess. The peon can advance 2 squares in the first move, "move on back two squares" it's like get back this move? I'm trying to understand but I really can't. The only thing I know is that this music makes me feel really happy and make a day a lot better. What do you guys feel about it? Trying to understand a prog music meaning and it's mysteries it's lot of fun :)
It’s so simple. This song puts me in a good mood …but more than that …it also makes me want to weep for happiness. I really need to find out what the words mean… but that won’t change how I feel when I hear it.
A metaphor for what? I think Anderson had visions in his mind that meant something to him, and he wrote down words and phrases that went with the visions, but they don't seem coherent. They sound beautiful musically, and I think that might have been more important to him than coherence. Just my guess. I can never figure metaphors out on my own :/
I always thought it was about LOVE...you know? The QUEEN choosing the person she would use in order to fulfill her need--her need for love. This is a quote about the song "The tune uses chess as a lyrical metaphor for navigating interpersonal relationships." Yes it comes from wikipedia but it defines the song's true nature. The first part of the song, "Your Move", alludes to the game of chess as a metaphor for male-female relationships.[2] Examples include the phrases "move me onto any black square", "make the white queen run so fast", and "the goal is for us all to capture only one". It can be attributed to Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking-Glass. In looking glass land if you want to be "satisfied" and "on your way" you must walk backwards on life's chessboard to move ahead. That is "don't surround yourself with yourself" is a chess analogy. This is opposite of what we were taught: fight with might and force to get ahead. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ve_Seen_All_Good_People

Exactly, doing the same, Yes songs are difficult. Always surprised by the actual words in most songs. It's fun, tho. Enjoy!
this song is one of the greatest achievements in the history of music.. you don't have to agree with me though
You might be right!
It's a Masterpiece.

“Don’t surround yourself with yourself”
That's the key, isn't it? So eloquent & poignant... Thank you, YES!!!

Yes was my first concert. February, '74. What a great way to kick off your teenage years and concert experiences!
Nice and Yes is a Great English Band Since This Song is Quickly My Favorite Song From Them Which I Just Discovered!
Supertramp backstage passes 1976 for me. Friends dad was a stagehand. I was in 8th grade. Totally beyond comprehension.
My first concert, too. March 1974 Bloomington Minnesota

for some reason I find comfort in this song when a dear friend or family member passes , I think i played it 1000 times when my father died in 79
:'(
Here now for that exact reason. 😶
Pops died feb.2021, but you can live for all the good we have in them to carry on!!! Peace b with U!

Same, so many people go to the lyrics online and are blown away at how much the lyrics mean to all of us.
It took me like 45 years to realize they were singing “give peace a chance” in part of this song.

True words
superb

In early 1972, this sone was the favorite at Orion Junior High school in Anchorage, in Russian communist Alaska!!!
Black and white, ups and downs, I think it's a metaphor about life. In a way that it can be understood like a game, like chess. The peon can advance 2 squares in the first move, "move on back two squares" it's like get back this move? I'm trying to understand but I really can't.
The only thing I know is that this music makes me feel really happy and make a day a lot better. What do you guys feel about it?
Trying to understand a prog music meaning and it's mysteries it's lot of fun :)
Iago HauChi it’s called a pawn not a peon. Lol
beautiful.
Brilliant!
It’s a great tune
It’s so simple. This song puts me in a good mood …but more than that …it also makes me want to weep for happiness. I really need to find out what the words mean… but that won’t change how I feel when I hear it.
Wow first time listener here < 🙇🏻😎 woooooooooo were all squares
Now that I've seen the lyrics I realize this is about chess
Its not about chess...chess is only a metiphor
A metaphor for what? I think Anderson had visions in his mind that meant something to him, and he wrote down words and phrases that went with the visions, but they don't seem coherent. They sound beautiful musically, and I think that might have been more important to him than coherence. Just my guess. I can never figure metaphors out on my own :/
Ramen Tribe I always thought it was about war... chess being the metaphor.
Didn't know, so I googled it: "The tune uses chess as a lyrical metaphor for navigating interpersonal relationships." --Wikipedia
I always thought it was about LOVE...you know? The QUEEN choosing the person she would use in order to fulfill her need--her need for love. This is a quote about the song "The tune uses chess as a lyrical metaphor for navigating interpersonal relationships."
Yes it comes from wikipedia but it defines the song's true nature.
The first part of the song, "Your Move", alludes to the game of chess as a metaphor for male-female relationships.[2] Examples include the phrases "move me onto any black square", "make the white queen run so fast", and "the goal is for us all to capture only one". It can be attributed to Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking-Glass.
In looking glass land if you want to be "satisfied" and "on your way"
you must walk backwards on life's chessboard to move ahead. That is
"don't surround yourself with yourself" is a chess analogy. This is
opposite of what we were taught: fight with might and force to get
ahead.
