Radio Paradise (mobile)

'''I. Cord of Life'''
A man conceived a moment's answer to the dream
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim
A movement regained and regarded both the same
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you
Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed
Between the picture of time behind the face of need
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid
Emotions revealed as the ocean maid
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you
Coins and crosses
(Turn round tailor, assaulting)
Never know their fruitless worth
(all the mornings of the interest shown,
presenting one another to the cord)
Cords are broken
(All left dying, rediscovered
Of the door that turned round)
Locked inside the mother Earth
(To close the cover, all the
interest shown)
They won't hide, hold, they won't tell you
(To turn one another, to the
sign at the time float your climb)
Watching the world, watching all of the world
Watching us go by
And you and I climb over the sea to the valley
And you and I reached out for reasons to call
'''II. Eclipse'''
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid
Emotions revealed as the ocean maid
As a movement regained and regarded both the same
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you
'''III. The preacher, the teacher'''
Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify
Political ends as sad remains will die
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you
Oooh, ooh
I listened hard but could not see
Life tempo change out and inside me
The preacher trained in all to lose his name
The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same
In the end we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalize
That the truth of man maturing in his eyes
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid
As a moment regained and regarded both the same
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you
IV Apocalypse
And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning
And you and I reach over the sun for the river
And you and I climb, clearer towards the movement
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas

Nothing in the world like it. Growing up in the 90's it's sad to think we spend 200 dollars to go see a "show" where in 1972 I am almost positive it was much cheaper. Saw them at a free concert series in Orlando Florida. The music now a days is just pitiful and sad to think my generation is listening to that junk..... [ Reply ]

Wore the grooves off of this (and the others) back in the day. I'm sure all my coworkers outside my office can hear this just fine, even with my door closed. My favorite Yes song followed closely by Going For the One. [ Reply ]

There is nothing more supernatural or universally transcendant about this tune than any other tune - it comes down to a matter of personal taste. Technical prowess does not automatically translate to "good" music for everyone. I could not agree more. I'll admit I don't read a lot of music writing, but I've read enough to know I am not missing anything. None of the standard expressions, tropes, concepts, or adjectives are of any use to me when it comes to describing good music. Yes, there are terms used for musical/pedagogical shorthand (notes, styles, etc..)but there has not been a sentence yet written that can explain why something takes me to another world and another leaves me unmoved. I appreciate people who try to describe this effect, but they are wasting their time. "Complexity" in music, "texturality"...these don't mean anything to me. A great song is just great. You know it by hearing it. [ Reply ]

Rafter101 Mar 06, 2013 - 12:57	I saw YES last night in San Francisco. They had a skinny, long-haired girly-boy singing in place of Jon Anderson (looked just like a 1970 Jon Anderson) and he sounded pretty good. The band was not in their best form, but did a pretty enjoyable show. It makes me wonder—-When you have most of the players replacing the original members, when do you go from being a band, to being a tribute band ?? The set list was awesome—they played The Yes Album, Close to the Edge, and Time and a Word all the way through. Good tunes. [ Reply ]
kingart Mar 06, 2013 - 12:55	WOW. EPIC. '70s music would have been lesser with no Yes. [ Reply ]

The best way to enjoy this album for sure!! For me it was a 1970 Mercury Cougar XR-7, a Pioneer Super Tuner and the Colonial Parkway. [ Reply ]

coloradojohn Dec 02, 2012 - 12:13	Fabulous song. Timeless and Infinite. These guys sure did put down some truly ORCHESTRAL masterpieces over the years, didn't they? They were channeling some great stuff! Can't imagine what my life would have been without them being such a sonic foundation for me... [ Reply ]

So do I, Tam-Dog. I even know all the lyrics to this and "Close to the Edge". Tough to do w/ Yes, since the words always seem terrific, but seldom make more than just a little sense (very little).
