- From Wikipedia:
"Heart of the Sunrise" is a progressive rock song by British band Yes. It is the closing track on their fourth album, 1971's Fragile. The compositional credits go to Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, and Chris Squire, though keyboardist Rick Wakeman contributed some uncredited sections.
The song eventually rose to become the band's fourth most-played song. However, it was played approximately three hundred times less than "I've Seen All Good People" and received little if any airplay. It was popular enough, however, to appear on Yessongs, Classic Yes, In a Word: Yes (1969 - ), and many other studio and live retrospectives. It was named the ninth greatest drum performance by digitaldreamdoor.com."
According to Anderson, the song is about being lost in the city. This was explained on many tours. On the Big Generator tour, Anderson says that the song is about the power and energy of the sunrise. In 1978, however, he said the song was about the power of love. Sometimes, he makes other comments. For example, on the October 16, 1971 show, Anderson states that the organ in the song is inaudible and will be performed without it. He further notes that the organ is "one of the best jokes in the business."
The song begins with a churning, bass-heavy riff that alternates between 6/8 and 3/4 time (in the same way as "America" from Leonard Bernstein's score for the musical West Side Story). After one full sequence, it merges into a new, slightly funky section in 4/4 that lasts for a minute and a half. It afterwards breaks back into three full cycles of the main riff.
At around 3:25, after the final cycle, the song switches to a much softer style, where Jon Anderson begins singing. This section starts in 6/8 but includes many individual sequences, including a quirky 5/8 riff that appears in various speeds and arrangements. The song gradually builds in intensity, eventually including the main riff interspersed with the other sections. A brief classical snippet of Rick Wakeman's is used as well in both classical and rock arrangements.
The song itself ends very abruptly around 10:35, but a reprise of "We Have Heaven" from earlier on the album is included as a hidden track, extending it to 11:27 (11:32 on the 2003 release). Some vinyl pressings ended without this reprise. At either length, it is the longest song on the album.
Rick Wakeman contributed to the writing of "Heart Of The Sunrise" (and fellow album piece "South Side Of The Sky") by adding piano interludes to both songs, but wasn't credited because of contractual conflicts. He was instead promised more money by Atlantic studio executives, which he claims he never saw.
Lyrics:
Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me
Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decide
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Lost on a wave that you're dreaming
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decided
Straight light moving and removing
SHARPNESS of the colour sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that
Relates to all the words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the sun with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city
The bassline after intro= perfection
AND it's written, in the orchestral version he does exactly the same. I find myself having a lot trouble learning a precise order in variations.
When I bought my second bass I remember playing this while I was trying it out. A little later I had a lesson in the building next door and I could hear the guys in the store trying to play it. It was great!
I'll go out on a limb (it's a long branch) and say ALL of Squires bass lines are perfection. He was truly a master. My biggest influence, and the influence for nearly all rock and metal bassists that followed.
Yes! It is!
@@kevinheckeler Well put old chap!
This song is what you get when you mix 5 very contrasting and very skillful musicians together in their prime. "Yes" could have been a recipe for disaster.
A diminutive male lead singer in the "alto" range singing about things from outer space to freezing to death mountain climbing with "marionette like" stage antics.
A bass player whose Rickenbacker 4001 armed with "Rotosound" round wound strings produced a signature sound that cannot be described in human terms. He also happened to be a great backup vocalist and a genuinely funny guy.
A lead guitarist using almost exclusively ( at first) a Gibson ES-175 semi hollow body guitar typically played by jazz guitarist. By the way he just happened to be the the best ALL AROUND guitar player on the planet for many years.
A drummer who actually played the drums creatively and with precision. A drummer who might suggest instead of playing 3 chords in 4/4 time why don't we add a 4th chord and play it in 5/4 time and mean it.
Finally a keyboard player, not an organist or piano player but a true keyboardist. A "Royal Academy of Music" trained virtuoso with an equal amount of talent and vision to help guide the other 4 members as they ventured into areas well beyond the abilities of the typical rock bands of that era.
Let's not forget Eddie Offord. A cutting edge engineer with an amazing ear and the patience of Job.
If not for the talent of each of these individuals they might have been laughed of the stage the first night. If you are going to take "rock music" which is primarily for the working class, and try to expand it to include "Classical", "Jazz", "Blues" and just about everything else, you better be very, very good and "Yes" was very very good.
Victor Lazlo
I concur with this comment
Indeed, YES were a seemingly improbable notion. Maybe they knew something that no one else knew. They were some mighty quirky fellows.
But, it's miraculous that the idea has flourished for all these years.
Their incredible musical talents and writing seemed to overwhelm any negative that might hold them back.
And, every one of them produced solo albums of magnificence.
Steve Howe was so prolific, he couldn't help making a second hit band (ASIA) such a smashing success.
Bill Bruford has done so many albums, I don't even know them all. He took on King Crimson with a vengence. His work with Alan Holdsworth, Eddie Jobson and, Jeff Berlin stands out above most everything.
Chris Squire with Patrick Moraz on FISH OUT OF WATER is one of the most brilliant bass oriented pieces of all time.
Alan White - Ramshackled! Just amazing.
Rick Wakeman! What possible negative can be spoken? Is there a more talented keyboardist in the history of planet earth?
And, Moraz only played on one YES tour. But, I absolutely adore his solo albums.
Trevor Rabin? What other guitarist could wear Steve Howe's shoes and (also) write a song that would take YES to #1 on top ten radio (Owner of a Lonely Heart)? BTW, if you haven't seen the Anderson, Wakeman, Rabin concert footage on RUclips, I think you should have a look ASAP! OMG!
Very very well said my friend
I'm not sure that I've ever read anything so perfectly said. I've pretty much known of these talents but never thought anyone else was paying attention.
Esta canción es lo que obtienes cuando mezclas 5 músicos muy contrastantes y muy hábiles juntos en su mejor momento. "Sí" podría haber sido una receta para el desastre.
Un cantante masculino diminuto en el rango de "alto" cantando sobre cosas del espacio exterior hasta la escalada de montaña congelada hasta la muerte con payasadas en el escenario "como una marioneta".
Un bajista cuyo Rickenbacker 4001 armado con cuerdas de cuerda redonda "Rotosound" produjo un sonido característico que no se puede describir en términos humanos. También resultó ser un gran vocalista de respaldo y un tipo realmente divertido.
Un guitarrista principal que utiliza casi exclusivamente (al principio) una guitarra de cuerpo semi hueco Gibson ES-175 que suele tocar un guitarrista de jazz. Por cierto, resultó ser el mejor guitarrista del planeta durante muchos años.
Un baterista que realmente tocaba la batería con creatividad y precisión. Un baterista que podría sugerir en lugar de tocar 3 acordes en 4/4 por qué no agregamos un 4to acorde y lo tocamos en 5/4 y lo decimos en serio.
Finalmente un teclista, no un organista ni un pianista, sino un verdadero teclista. Un virtuoso entrenado en la "Royal Academy of Music" con la misma cantidad de talento y visión para ayudar a guiar a los otros 4 miembros mientras se aventuraban en áreas mucho más allá de las habilidades de las típicas bandas de rock de esa época.
No olvidemos a Eddie Offord. Un ingeniero de vanguardia con un oído increíble y la paciencia de Job.
Si no fuera por el talento de cada uno de estos individuos, podrían haberse reído del escenario la primera noche. Si va a tomar "música rock", que es principalmente para la clase trabajadora, e intenta expandirla para incluir "Clásica", "Jazz", "Blues" y casi todo lo demás, es mejor que sea muy, muy bueno y "Sí" fue muy, muy bueno.
I'm 70 years old and will never get tired of YES!!!
My parents always played yes when I was little in the early 70s. They never did drugs. But they loved their rock music. I wish those days could come back again. People were alot nicer and happier. Today is fucked up.
Amen and I second the AFU comment!
I agree! I lived through all of it starting with Elvis!
The funny thing about me and drugs is that before I did them, I listened to the same music as I did after I tried them. I used to lay on the living room couch when I was young and close my eyes and listen to King Crimson and Genesis and Pink Floyd (and a lot of other artists from the time) and let my imagination wander. And then I tried weed and did the same thing (only it was a bit more vivid). And I've listened to a lot of other music but I've always come back to the same prog and avant-garde bands from the 70's. And now I'm sober again and they still sound great.
Chris Squire has taken his walk into his Heart Of The Sunrise today. He was 67. Hope that walk was a beautiful one... Rest In Peace.
Well said.
houseofraven1966 😭😓
Damn... just found out, three years later. Rip.
AGREED !
He's probably the most melodic bassist(consistently) I've ever listened to... Thanks Chris.
Bruford's drumming is masterful.
He was the best ever!
Oh yes !!!, his best work in yes, this album and the next.
He's my favorite prog rock drummer.
Oh my gosh, Jon Anderson's voice is so beautiful
yeah, i was thinking the same thing as i was listening to this. the guy had pipes, held the notes perfectly. lucky dude.
Listen to his solo and duet library outside yes, do your ears a treat
I used to ride my bike with my Walkman. This song, the Trees(rush), and Genesis... you get the point. No drugs ... I promise you. The music was the drug
Yes your so right
I was a teen in the eighties and very big into Yes and played them all on my walkman also. Along with King Crimson.
Think how much better It Could've sounded bruh!!! Hahaa
@@randyduncan4004 Well, the closest I could come to your comment JimmyPage Morrison is I used to suntan in the backyard for the period of time I could, with no walkman or anything else, lay out in the sun for the period of time listening to "Close to the Edge" in my mind. Enough time in the Sun.
Did a plenty o drugs along with the music
Im 55 years old...and im sitting here thinking about how the band Yes has inspired my intire life...the voice of an angel..the soul of the Chris Squire and Bill Bruford..and Lead Guitar from Mr Howe..Plus Wakeman..there will be no other to match to this music...Ever
+Dino Camella You got that right brother
+Dino Camella
52 Well Written
I'm 14, and the only thing I have to say about your comment is that you are right. If anyone can work together and have as much creativity as they had props to them, but Yes is definitely one of a kind.
ty Harley..you have great taste in Music
+Dino Camella Once i shared this song with some friends, they all loved it, it's just that people don't know this amazing music exists.
I can't imagine my life without the music of Yes!
Nagyon faszsza.
I would be dead.
Same with me.
So cerebral, so magical
I'm not the first person to say this but this is honestly without a doubt one of the greatest rock tracks ever written.
Like...that's almost not an opinion.
And you wont be the last.
Yohan Sebastian was a ROCK n' Roller, in his time. He rebelled the king's opinion of music and composition...
YES! You get it.
There's a lot of King Crimson influence in this (and that's a great thing). Definitely an amazing track. Love it.
I enthusiastically concur.
My God, music really did peak in the '70's. I feel lost in the future.
The Greatest Rock peace ever written. 45 years later it still blows me away!
Is among the greatest-top-tier.
The thing about truly great music is that the first listening is difficult but once you get it, it lasts forever and never gets old. Only Beethoven and Yes can do that.
ELP has many many amazing pieces... check them out. Two best "prog" bands ever. Oddly early Genesis pretty dang good too. Check them out.
Love comes to you and you follow ...
RIP Chris... another loss... never will be another one... Heart Of Yes... sharp... distance...
Alex Lamplighter Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise. More and more great musicians are joining the heavenly choir. Gonna be some great jams going on.
I just discovered Yes today and I'm really glad I did...their soundscaping ability is amazing!
Try them all...especially "Close To The Edge"...it is their magnum opus.
you will enjoy most of it. I started on the Yes album
Welcome to the new world
My room mate in St.Paul,Mn. 1977, had an X-19 FIAT. First class stereo in it. He played the first YES I had ever heard, " GOING FOR THE ONE"!!!!!!! Hooked, absolutely HOOKED I was.
Amen brother. It is really the apogee of Yes!
This song needs to be blasted while speeding on a long and winding road late at night...
Only then will you find the true meaning of life.
BTDT
And the meaning is fleeting, ever evolving, never revolving as its a continuum, not changing, for change does as its constant is ever present,... camouflaged in an obvious perspective as it is life itself.
I got all that in the first mile or so....then I turned on my headlights.
My entire being was captured in a whirlpool of tenfold mega-swirls,.... trapped in ten dimensional layers of an omnidirectional spherical helix each independent of , yet equally synchronized with one another including adaptation to external stimulus.
I know your way although experienced differently from mine,.. was the underlying element that ultimately allowed me to navigate in the comfort and solace of a pleasant and familiar regimen of sound and dreams.
It got me home anyway,....and its all true.
Drive Safe ,....
Dude.. Riding an old motorcycle in the mountains in the rain with lightning in the distance. Sharp Distance the wind with its arms all around me.....
God bless Yes.
God bless Rodger Dean.
Jude Starkey McCartney
I have done that so many times.
BTW. It also a real trip to do in a small plane.
One amazing band of my times, I'm 65 and can still see them performing live at NMSU PAN AMERICAN CENTER on a REVOLVING STAGE.....1979. They are great on recordings or live on stage........best times of my life!!!
Jude Starkey McCartney Used to crank this one on long road trips. .
My favourite Yes song
Jonathan González Roca same
totally agree !!!
Mine too.
no. i mean, i get that and all, but i am sorry, your favorite yes song is roundabout and that's all there is to it. this is your second favorite yes song.
Mine was And You And I, but you picked a great tune to be your favourite Jonathan. Yes made Brilliant!!!! music.
I had the pleasure of seeing Yes on 5 different tours in the 70's. Their live shows were as tightly produced as their albums. Their stage show was spectacular Truly one of the classic bands of that era.
I only saw them once-77. Was a dream never thought would come true. - Many of my Rock friends always had deep envy of that.
Roosevelt JC
For me it was in the 80's in Philly and if they played 3 shows I would go to all of them.
Saw Squire 36 times👑
I lost track of how many times I saw them. Couldn’t get enough of ‘em!
RIP Chris Squire, you were one of the all time greats!
there is no doubt, greatest bass ever !!!!!
one of the best basslines in rock history rip Chris squire
These guys were well before my time (I'm 36), but there's nothing I like more than packing a bowl, cracking a beer, and throwing on some early 70s Yes.
Such an amazing bass line!!!! Chris Squire was so far ahead of his time.
Chris Squire was exactly at his time. Music was working up to this song, and it's been going down hill ever since.
Chris Howe
The quiet introduction of the line "love comes to you, and you follow..... " after all the bombastic drama that comes before is very poignant. It's sort of a sacred hush. It makes me hold my breath.
I totally agree that is the most sublime moment. To me, it’s like the primordial forces giving way to ‘Let there be light’
Perfectly stated.
Amen.
i am not ashamed to admit that i air drum a lot, but i still have a hard time air drumming to Bill Bruford. he's all over the place!!!
same here bro
I air guitar a lot lol!
he counts. learn the time changes for each song first. 8/4--4/4---2/4--4/4--5/4-....ugh!
i listened to all yes records until tormato, then Jimi with his jazzy drummer Mitch Mitchell.
I always thought the 5 over 4 poly-rhythm of Long Distance Runaround (in verses) was fun! One you really HAVE to count!
Yeah, Bruford's mind is like a mathematics demo! "And now I'll play Newton's 3rd Law of Physics!" :)
The quintessential Yes song.
Today someone asked me about Yes. He wanted to know what one song best sums up the essence of my favorite band.
I picked Heart of the Sunrise because . . .
1. The technical skill of the musicians. Listen to these five brilliant guys!
2. The baroque composition. This is really three songs.
3. On a related note; the time changes. If you don't like a Yes song, wait 15 seconds, it'll change.
4. The ethereal lyrics presented in the angelic voice of Jon Anderson.
@Roy Lay And You And I for sure Roy. I'm not dissing this great song or Close To The Edge, but And You And I was my favourite song by Yes.
The heart of her buns rising.
What makes this song in the baroque style?
This is Michelangelo in music shape... Truly masterpiece! Damn, so good...
Bass and drums just so tight with a jazz/rock groove of their own making. Keys...ethereal. Guitar as complex/musical as ever and then vocal perfection...this is prog at it's very best.
174 people who never needed to recover from and forget something in their lives.
This and music and bands like them helped saved me from the Vietnam experiences I had.
Now at 68, I still listen regularly.
It keeps getting better.
Right on, brother
Dad hogue thank you for your service.
Sir thank for your service
Thanks so much for your service.
Heart of the Sunrise is the ultimate YES! covers all of their magic
Renee Chedville so true!
this song never "aged"
Always loved this song, especially when Gallo used it quite effectively In the penultimate scene of his movie Buffalo 66
The only thing I like about Vincent Gallo is his taste in music. But at least that is exceptional!
If someone asks you"what is Prog Rock"? You should put this record on the turntable and play this song= Best Answer!
truly a master class in Prog Rock !!!!
Here's the thing about this song: Well let's work from the ground up: The absolute backbone is Bruford's drumming. Period and brilliant. It wouldn't be anything without him. Secondly it's Chris' bass (RIP). Well that was brilliant too. Then the guitar and keyboards. Thanks to Steve and Rick. Brilliant as well. Here's the thing that tops it off for me and it's the lyrics. "Sharp distance, how can the the wind with it's arms all around me!" Doesn't make any sense unless you are listening with your heart. I hope that you have a heart too. I'm pretty old now and my heart is weak but it's still beating and I still love this song with all my HEART.
Thank you for this: "Doesn't make any sense unless you are listening with your heart." Thank you!
To an Englishman, those lyrics are the usual art form, of Byron and Shelley. Poets like that.
Nothing difficult to understand.
Buford was the best prog drummer ever! By far!
Great Album. Proud to say: GOT IT PLUS MANY OTHER YES ALBUM THE I've found over the years
@@tommyrawlings3046 I would concurr 100% only to when he played with Yes, U.K. and Bruford - not that much impressed with everything else (specially when as a drummer to Genesis) ... sitting on the fence regarding King Crimson.
I'm nominating this as Jon Anderson's best work as a singer.
One of Anderson's best vocal performances I think. The vocals was what struck me the most the first time I listened, and the intro of course.
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth.
some of the greatest rock drumming you will ever hear. bruford is a genius here, his use of the cymbols and off beat changes are incredible.
Absolutely! I've been playing drums since I was nine years old. He is the drummer I can't/don't think like. He did an amazing job with the standard jazz drum set. You are very insightful to understand this. Hats off to you buddy!
Deep cymbolism

@@AF276300 only phil collins on early Genisis compares.
@@paysongeorge3612 YES!!! Collins only guy who comes close!
arguably the finest rhythm section ever
+MrAdvance2go Excellent comment! Yes....indeed!
+yyz fine username you got there, Sir or Ma'am. That's a hell of a masterpiece too. I think Bruford had much more art inside him, but Peart's technique is absolute.
for me keith moon/ john enthwistle surpass it, as brufford wetton does :P
Perhaps they do-in a different way. Irregardless(not a word I know) Bruford does the damage on this!
Kauan R. M. Klein listen to/read an interview with Pearl himself. He will set you straight. With all respect to his immense talent, Buddy Rich is without doubt the greatest ever. I saw them both live within a few months of each other, in 1977, and I’m here to say that nobody is worthy to shine Buddy’s shoes. Had I not seen him with my own eyes, I’d swear a human being wasn’t capable of what he did.
Fragile was the first 8-track I bought. This cut has been embedded in my soul ever since
The great thing about Yes is how they arranged the complex individual instrumentation to oppose each other, and did it so well that they all worked in concert with each other. So good these guys were.
how the hell can anyone give a thumbs down to this!!!
+Tom Natale If you're not a YES fan. But if you're not, why bother watching it?
Fans of "No"
I wish people could come up with something more interesting than pointing out dislikes lol it's become a little cliche. It's like in this is spinal tap-"the law of averages"😂
Yes is not for the masses. First time hearing can be very challenging. I found thm so at age 14, when I was listening to The Sweet and Showaddy Waddy!! But when I heard Yes, i knew there was something more to find. I kept listening.
People with no taste
im 22 years old this year i turned 23 my uncle recommended this band such a good band of my favorites prog rock
I'm 14 and this band, with all due respect, shows Mozart and Beethoven who's really boss. It's a shame this formation: Anderson, Bruford, Howe, Squire and Wakeman only lasted 2 albums. I wonder what TFTO and Relayer would be like if Bruford and Wakeman had stayed for both. I imagine Apollo himself decided the result was not suitable for mere mortals and made them disband. He's impantiently waiting on top of Mount Olimpus for the remaining 4 to pass away, so he can have them record for VIGs only (Very Important Gods).
B1tPixel So it's gonna look like I'm trolling but... YA MAD BRO?
D-did you just say "Ya mad bro?" in 2016
*boi*
He's catching up man. He did say that he is only 14.
lit fam
Taking me to a higher place each and every time. No assistance necessary just the magnificent music made by these brilliant men to transcend time and space.
this song has so many good parts but 5:40 - 6:15 is my favorite. powerful & beautiful singing.
Chris Squire is second to NONE.
Except for James Jamerson.
There's always gotta be that one guy...
YES is my feel good group always picks me up when I'm down can never get enough of there great music miss n LOVE u Chris Squire
Sounds as beautiful & masterful as when I first heard it 50 years ago
Mozart and Beethoven if they played progressive rock
they would have surely loved this.
Brotha you're exactly right. I'm a classical musician myself and Yes incorporates many movements.
Holy, that is so wrong. Mozart would absolutely despise prog. He practically invented the verse - chorus - verse thing. The point of prog is to break Mozart's rules, it is completely antithetical to everything he believed about music.
I get what you're actually trying to say by the way, but you just missed the mark so astronomically, I had to point it out. You should've said Vivaldi or something :P
Beethoven surely. Mozart was too soft. Beethoven was cool

I remember driving with my dad in his Mini and hearing this song for the first time. I had to ask him to replay it because it was so amazing. That was the moment I had fallen in love with the sound of Yes and with progressive rock. It must have been one of Maslow's peak experiences.
YES is the best band ever...had a friend years ago that smoked hash with them in Amsterdam...his parents were stationed in Germany....he was an airforce brat...
wut.
Ronan * Cool...I bet it was good stuff
West Midlands England, just before you start the part time job, driving down the dual carriage way in dark, air is freezing but you got the heaters on; windows cracked. That’s just for the intro with those chords. I can’t express the sensation that this song gives. To top it off, brought Vinyl on a whim for a fiver and this pops on. Nothing like sixth form.
That bass. A Ricky and Chris, don't get better. Miss you Mr Squire. X
I'm 60 young and still vividly see as it is first and hearing like i want to last FOREVER . Preserve a Treasure . i feel like a joint and good mems always . Thank you Yes. Awesome dreams , Awesome Music .. listening Always .
A Radio interview with Jon Anderson in july of this year [2024] they are assembling a group to to perform new album.
@@paullakowski2509 I'll take another toke to that .. Awesome , Thank you for the update .
This song is the purest beauty.
This song from YES vinyl LP record reminds me of the 1970s my favorite decade.
cool how Squire keeps the rhythm and allows Bruford to open up at the beginning.
Yes, Bruford's drum work is absolute genius!
Of course, all parts are genius. This is such a masterpiece. After all these years, Yes can still give me intense chills and goosebumps, and bring me to tears of joy!
The drumming of Bruford here is a pure masterpiece and it's the proof that he was, at the core, a jazz and not only a rock drummer...The following of his career will demonstrate it perfectly.
@@mdurand75 man right as I read this the ride cymbal transitioned in
Listen to how he keeps holding the riff together at 1:12 & when Steve fades into the picture
Anderson Buford Wakeman and HOWE
Gracias genios. Escucharlos es un respiro para mi depresión.
A masterpiece by Yes. Maybe their greatest jam.
round about is close second
i just realized you made this comment 6 years ago. quite a long time
Yes j’ecoute cette musique depuis ;44 ans qui est toujours aussi bonne merci yes pour les beau souvenir avec les annee
Nothing can beat early YES music
My favorite band members and the incredible artwork of Roger Dean !
Chris Squires bass and the voice of an angel..Gawd..got it going on
September 2019 - this song is 48 years old this month. Cheers! And, indeed, on to the Heart of the Sunrise.
Tearing up after not having listened to this in so long. How I've missed Yes.
Exactly the same experience at this very moment...
When I first heard this, right at 0:30 I decided to become a bass player. \m/
wut bout the first part of roundabout
@@pongugy9828 nothing, he felt nothing.
Man, I wish I had this video back in the 70's when I was listening to this album and tripping my brains out!
Glint Breightly I have the vhs
THIS IS -MORE OR LESS- THE WAY I FEEL...
I was on leave in the summer of 75, my buddies Marc V. went to a show in Tempe Az., I got so high, I tripped over a cable & pulled the plug on the main PA during one of the solos in Close to the Edge. Watched the great Eddy Offerd do his thing & had everything back to normal asap.
I can FEEL Chris Squire when I listen to this. RIP Chris, you are sorely missed!
RIP Chris Squire...you were one of a kind and now you are on to the heart of the sunrise
R.I.P. Chris Squire; thanks for the incredible journey !
Amagon the band he is playing with now.
We will never hear music like this again. 62 yrs old and I'm still transported listening to Yes. That voice cuts through like an angel
You are absolutely correct. I am 61 and I am so blessed to experience YES from the early 70's. Went to their early concert in the early 1970's.
A year l8r and im back feeling the same....63 and then some and still more than grateful🙏
Oh RUclips, I love it when you insert an ad in the middle of a song!
God Bless Araki for introducing me to Yes
His work is just a playlist.
0:30 Best bassline ever!! RIP Chris Squire
They're the Kevin Bacon of RUclips rabbit holes. Everything eventually ends up back on Fragile or The Yes Album. I was super lucky to get introduced to these guys in high school in the 90s. Thanks Dan!
An outstanding masterpiece,; thank you Mr Squire and may you be playing the bass for the Angels now💜💛😌💓💓💙💟💓💓💜💙💙
Been loving this music and looking at these album covers since childhood.
Yes, the trajectory that my life followed was in perfect sync with the Yesmusic I grew up listening to...; performing good deeds for others.....continuously...
This was the first lp song I ever listened to on headphones in the mid-70s. Amazing. Just amazing.
Absolute Beauty.
Yes fan for years. I am still discovering their early work. Just when you think Close to the Edge is their greatest song, you come across this gem...
holy shit!!! what was that??? that was jaw dropping!!!
The very beginning of the song!!!
That's an amazing riff!!!
It's based on 21st century schizoid man by King Crimson.
The song that cemented 6/8 as my favorite time signature.
A rare and fine masterpiece .... Fragile no es solo su mejor trabajo, es la esencia de YES , es la que marcara el camino de todos sus posteriores trabajos , e inicia tambien una fructuosa colaboracion con el dibujante Roger Dean , que sera el encargado de esas impresionantes cover-art , que nos regalan Yes en cada uno de sus trabajos y sera como una ''marca de la casa ''---
Esta cancion me capto cuando compre el disco de Yessongs y esta maravilla fue la primera que escuche de Yes de los 70's y no lo comercial de los 80's.
Me fascino su avalancha violenta al principio y luego esa dulce calma que sigue
Listening to Yes gives me a deep physical craving for a Rickenbacker with flatwounds.
Flatwounds!? Ick! Now I need a shower! Try a fresh set of RotoSound Swing Bass 66s (on nearly any bass) if you wanna sound like Squire! Add a little fuzz to the neck PU and run through some 12"ers, and you're set! :)
SciFiArtMan JMP Super Bass is pretty important too! Agreed on the rotosounds and 12"'s though
Arkadia Moon He used Rotosound 66's roundwounds not flats. My sound changed when I changed over to Rotosounds 66 strings. Love 'em and I will not go back to flats ever.
Absolutely amazing song, a work of musical art.
Oh My ... What a Glorious Band doing a Magnificent Song...It has been such a privilege to be part of this for 50 years... Thank you Yes... :)
RIP Chris ! A true legend

In the 1980s - 90s, I played bass in an original rock band that also played quite a bit of early Yes, including this. It was fun.
Many times while in my late teens , I came home from the pub and put the earphones on to Yes and got lost in musical heaven. Fragile and Close to the Edge are masterpieces of the genre . Love it !
Yes have both of those Albums Great Stuff
Such a lovely track , great band from the days gone . When I pass over I hope this lot are with me lol
The mankind goes to its end. No more music like this one. Degradation and enthropy
The day the music dies. Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie. -Don McLean. But not to worry, Dream On . . .

I remember being on the school bus carrying the Yes album , I loved the cover. I was about 13 . But heart of the sunrise.....I get choked up and she'd a few . That's the profound impact they still have on me. heart of the sunrise will always be a top 5 for me. Seeing them love at Madison Square Garden wes A-mazing. Thank you. ✨✨✨✨
That part from 0,33 to 2:06 between Chris, Bill and Rick culminating with Steve's guitar is a moment for the ages.
Jon is one of the best rock vocalist ever . Along with the guys from Styx and of course Robert Plant !!!!
Styx - Dennis Deyoung he also wrote all the music of styx's
And many other great vocalists of many other genres
@@BIGBOYGAMING03 Yep, Jim Neighbors and Elis Presley was great as well .
Nice. Put it up on the big screen and cranked the surround sound.
And I actually test all of my videos at 1080p on a big screen to make sure they are true to the art and music :)
@ Vzqk, you sir are awesome. ty for doing this.
i cracked a few beers, and turned thew sound up!
I think yes puts a lot of time and effort in their songs/same for pink floyd
Fuck that. Drink a good spirit, whatever your poison there.
Heart of the sunrise song stirs my imagination. Great song.
RIP, Chris. Gone way too soon. Thanks for all the fantastic music.
