"Close to the Edge" by Yes // ALBUM REACTION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Close to the Edge is the fifth studio album by English progressive rock band Yes, released in the UK on 8 September 1972, and in the US on 13 September 1972 by Atlantic Records. It is their last album of the 1970s to feature original drummer Bill Bruford, who found the album particularly laborious to make and felt unable to contribute better ideas, which influenced his decision to join King Crimson once recording had finished.

I just remember as a teenager when I listened to this album, so shocked and amazed. This album is a full journey into the art of music. Relayer and Fragile are also in the top 3 Yes albums.
@@CanigoCatala exactly this album just amazed me in every second!!!
Dude, don't pause it every 4 seconds. You will enjoy it much better that way. And so would we.
@@FRUITYLAND Firth of Fifth, writte down
"Roundabout", "Starship Trooper", "Yours is no Disgrace", "Perpetual Change". Epic masterpieces... "Awaken", Gates of Delirium", "Ritual". Take your pick. I'm ridin' shotgun! Can't wait!
@@HendersonDavid-m8r YES my friend, gonna put their others project to my album list
Listen to the friggin track.
The album opens along the fold with a surreal landscape of a broken earth remnant from the Fragile album, Roger Dean art inspired by the YES musical alternate reality. More YES please.
@@RW2M6 yesss so true about that, and the way the first track got progress until the end, we can hear again that sound of nature.
the endless of birth, death, and rebirth.
yeahh ofc, already put yes other discography to my album list.
Ladies and gentlemen, YES, the greatest show on earth. Anderson's words are chosen more for their rhythmic and instrumental quality rather than the meaning in whole. Enjoy your YES journey. Roundabout off the Fragile album is a peach. Open the album to see the art
✨️🎶👑🎶✨️
@@lesblatnyak5947 ahhh so thats why !!! ofc my friend, gonna see their others project 🍉
where can i see the art?
@FRUITYLAND
Go to the YES website and see albums. Roger Dean is the artist. You can see all his album art at his site ✌️
YES is the greatest band ever. This album is the best ever recorded.
Oh wow. Thanks algorithm - it always hones in on the best piece of music, no best piece of art, ever created. The pinnacle of artistic endeavour ❤
Yeah, I kinda like it 😂
Jon’s lyrics are imbued with deep meaning and obscure references, but they generally make sense. However, it won’t happen on the first or even first hundredth listen 😊
@@mattleppard1970 but hey, probably the art have meaning behind that right.
and yeah this album is something else compared to album that i just listen in term of musical performance and songwriting. YES!!!
The problem is you are not seeing the full album art. You are only seeing the cover. I would check out all the art for the album.
@@surestrike4893ohh idk about that actually, im gonna go check for that!!!
I HATE YOU DONT STOP ALWAYS THE SONG ALL 5 SECONDS
anjay nemu wong indo reaksiin Yes.
wkwkwkw jujur gw bru tau nih band krna di suggest sama chatter, dan wow this band is a different level than others
I love watching your mind being blown but you PAUSE too much especially every few seconds on this MASTERPIECE. This is the greatest modern album of all time which MUST be treated with the deepest respect. It is not JUST a song; it's an experience of major proportions. I welcome you into the magical UNIVERSE of YES))) It always so wonderful to watch First Timers of their magnificent works of art. I hope you realized that more YES is a priority, but I don't know if I can continue watching your Channel unless the constant Pausing ceases. It's not a good experience for YES viewers. The plain front cover features their new Logo by Roger Dean while the rich green represents the tranquil feeling of Nature but then his 2-panel painting inside the gatefold is of a surreal massive flat mountain top lake with endless waterfalls. It's a perfect cover
real church pipe organ in a real church. Rick Wakeman and a lot of now vintage keyboards
that was a Thomas Goff harpsichord played by Rick in the middle of Siberian Khatru. Real acoustic instrument. Thomas was still alive and came into the studio to set it up properly
@@louissonier840 yessirrr that organ sound so real real!!!
@@louissonier840 ahh thank you for telling me this 🍉. i thought only rick just playing in that section.
well ofc he would do dat, thomas is him
@@FRUITYLAND that was Rick playing, Thomas was the builder of the instrument in the early 20th century
@@louissonier840 oh my bad i thought he playing too.
Go see the singer Jon Anderson on the next leg of his tour with The Band Geeks in the spring. They will open with Close To The Edge. They kill it live in concert. Jon is sound great, be he's 80, so see him while you can. Glad you enjoy the music but please stop the song way less often, you can talk over it, but stopping that often gets to be too much. I prefer to just use my imagination with their more abstract lyrics rather than trying to inturpret them directly. Jon's lyrics are often chosen for how they sound, using stream of concience, and are often very abstract. Some of the phrases have specific meaning, some don't. Many of his lryrics are about finding and understanding god, but in a non-denominational way. Some are influenced by specific books and philosophers, like Herman Hesse, Carlos Costenada.
@@TheAmazingSpaghetti gonna see that!!
yeah all the lyrics just so abstract and cryptic, but somehow it gives me something existential about life
You will never "understand" the lyrics of Yes (unless you're a poet, from a different plant), because it's poetry. Jon Anderson and Chris Squire created Yes in 1968. Chris's bass, and Jon's vocals/lyrics have been the foundation of Yes music through the years. Adding Steve Howe (pronounced, "How"), Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford, by 1970, completed Yes. Five extraordinary musicians that combined to create music that... "the sum was greater than the parts". I first put this album on my turntable in 1974. I haven't heard anything that compares, since. Cheap imitations? Yes. Yes?...No.
Jon even admitted that he often strung words together just for the way they sounded rather than what they actually meant.
@@HendersonDavid-m8r damnnn 😭 i wish im from different planet.
ah so they both first created this band huh. hahahaha okey thank you now i know how to say steve’s name properly!!.
yeahh indeed, i would say 5 extraordinary people right there, you right so far i never listen something like this 🔥 i mean there’s a lot of music with some experimental or avant-garde thing, but this album feels like a full package compare to others!!!.
Poetry, yes, although Jon has explained the lyrics and meaning to these words. Mostly their relation to the 1922 Herman Hesse novel “Siddhartha.”
The 1922 Hermann Hesse novel Siddhartha influenced the lyric, particularly the line, "Close to the edge, down by a river."
"Having traveled the world, he finished down by a river with nature, realizing it was the optimum connection with divine energy," Jon Anderson explained in a Songfacts interview.
@@porflepopnecker4376 mr jon is just ahead of his time
@@mattleppard1970 i knew it, those lyrics must be a reference to a book.
but damn novel from 1922
I dont know how you can get any sense of the piece when your pausing it continually like thst.....
Hey, really like your videos. You should do more nujabes specifically luv(sic) Hexalogy, one of my favorite hip hop records!
@JulDave-f1g oh absolutely my friend 🍉, already planned that, after modal soul i just hold myself for not listen to hexalogy!!!
Thanks, but no thanks - You have to stop pausing all the time. Can't handle it...
dont stop the song too much plrase
1 minute ago :O
Early fruitgangs! 🍉
DUDE stop already with the interruptions. Take a break, smoke a joint or something. Just let the song play a bit.
This is an impossible watch. Are you able to control yourself? Thumbs down, I’m afraid.
You have got to stop with the pauses.
Too many stops, too much talking, unwatchable.
