It's called progressive rock - lots of changes. Brilliant musicianship.
Jamming to it for 50 years in fact. While not for everyone, it is considered a masterpiece and the album is routinely voted the top prog rock album of all time.
Between 0-8 yrs old-In the attic/bedroom detroit 1970-1978 sharing w brothers who had cinder blocks milk crates record player shelves/jamming out center built and the albums du jour would have included this one, cut my teeth (literally) on this genre among others. 🎉🎉 it’s almost like peaceful pleasant background music to me even when there’s nothing playing at the moment 😮😂❤
That’s why heavy metal or prog or instrumental tracks 20 min long don’t phase any one. It’s like “yeah” …and?
This is an extreme complex masterpiece of progrock. You need trained ears to really understand and feel it’s greatness.
The Bass 🔊 by Chris Squire is excellent. Epic track ..a masterpiece.
RIP Chris
Your reaction to this masterpiece is funny because I have friends that feel the exact same way about it as you do. The thing about YES music is that it is so unique you either get it or you don't.🤩
I'm 70 years old, and this is my favorite song of all time, from the best band...ever, from the best album...ever. It's not for everyone. And just so you know, I don't hate you. 😁And I'm giving you a "like" for being honest.
Not trying to sound snobby, some music is written for pushing the boundaries so without understanding how difficult it is non musicians tend not to "Get It". Pablo Picasso said, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist”.
I don't think "Close to the Edge" is one of those albums, though. It's dense, it's loud, it's a chaotic fusion of many styles of music. That's a turn off for a lot of musicians too lol.
@blukimbo3450 being a professional musician for 40 years
You can not like a song but still appreciate the talent required to create it. I love progressive rock, grew up listening to Yes, King Crimson, Tull, Zappa, and more.
But I do understand your point. Especially if they didn't grow up with those influences not getting it.
It’s not your mom’s dance music, it’s more like a spiritual enlightenment 😊love this song 🎵
Jon Anderson's vocals & the harmonies from most of the members is nothing short of amazing!
"And You And I" from the same album might be more your speed. This song is a whole experience that you kind of need to be ready for before listening.
Agreed, she’ll have a totally different reaction to “ And You and I”
I doubt it. She's the first person I ever saw frown at Wakeman's keyboard solo. 😂
@@soundofflutejust like probably fashion eludes me, may be to some it’s like omg you don’t get it?…It’s just different tastes.
Me and my friends saw them at Madison Square Garden in 1978, one of the best concerts we ever saw.
They were so great live
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE. Open up! Listen a few more times.
She will never get it.
Maddy, picture this: You're sitting by a stream in a forest. Everything's peaceful. You're meditating. BOOM! You're swept up and flung into another dimension! It's very disorienting. You can't tell up from down from sideways. (That's the jarring opening.) Then you hear the voices of angels calling out. Things start to make a bit of sense, but the angels aren't speaking straight-ahead English. Their words are odd. Then you find yourself in a quiet place; a dark, subterranean place. You see visions of the pains and horrors of life, until you realize that, hey, you get up, you get down. (Life is sometimes good and then sometimes bad. It's no big deal.) This is your moment of spiritual enlightenment -- a religious moment (hence, the church organ). Then you groove with the angels (the return of the main theme) and they plop you back down in the spot by river where it's all peaceful again... but you are forever changed.
Not too far removed from my vision in my minds eye whenever I listen to it and I bet it is the same for a lot of other Yes fans out there as well.
This is a Prog rock masterpiece
You gave it a shot. That's okay. Appreciate you going in!
Without trying to sound sexist, YES has always been a guys band. I've known a lot of women that don't like YES but whenever I listened to YES with a male friend, they always loved it.
The song tells a story it brings you close to the edge that’s the point and when listening to it back in the day chances are we were stoned with our head phones on and getting lost in the music. It was so progressive and ahead of it’s time it blew our minds and we loved it. Musicians at the peak of their talent no computer tricks.
Ahhh
Yeah, Smoke a Bowl and put on Headphones I think you’ll have a different opinion😂
With or without 😏
@@ScottM-mds1hb without any drugs for my part, it wasn't necessary with such music.
It wasn’t necessary when I found them at about 11 yrs old, but, am now in my mid 60s and yes, it’s even better now with a spliff.
The Yes Album, released in 1971 would be a better introduction to this band, or some of their releases in the 80's. Perpetual Change, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People, ... all great songs from The Yes Album!
Really?? without researching..
Was this her intro to Yes! ??Omg my, my, talk about starting out at the tippy top! There’s more like this true… but it only gets more and more likeable from here!!❤ I paid in for a reaction on The Fixx I can’t wait for that one! 😊
I've loved this song for nearly forty years. When I first heard it, it was already fifteen years in the past. This is the first time I've seen one of your videos, and I just want to give you props for the effort and honesty. IMO, it's a piece that rewards repeated listening - it's a lot to digest! I also grew up on classical music, so musical ideas being developed like this was kind of second nature for me.
Another reactor had the same feelings. 6 months later, he did another reaction to Close To The Edge and loved it and he Apologized for quote his "impatience." Try again without us see how it goes. Suggest a glass of wine first or medication ✨️🙏✨️
It sounds like you are saying that to enjoy this song you need to be medicated first. I would heartily agree. Parts of it are pretty good, but much of it is like a train wreck. The song would be a little better if they deleted the singing. Some will say that I don't get the progressive nature of this song, but my favorite band is early Genesis. Try listening to Supper's Ready or Firth of Fifth.
Yey! An absolute masterpiece, this is a rollercoaster with so many layers, I'll enjoy it here with you!
To those in the comments saying that Yes sometimes wandered into the 'self-indulgent, pretentious crap' zone, I would only say that it wasn't crap.
"Some people say our music is self-indulgent, pompous and over the top. Great, isn't it?!" Rick Wakeman
And that's the point, Yes and prog rock is meant to be that way. Those calling it pretentious self-indulgent crap are the types who used to read the NME and never got past punk. And don't understand great musicians and musicianship.
Complex and experimental Rock... beautiful
I could see the pain, reminded me of Captain Kirk trying to resist the pain machine.
If this is so anxiety inducing, she'd better keep well clear of King Crimson and VDGG
Wow, I've never seen someone have a nervous breakdown after listening to Close to the Edge. This is bizarre..
lol 😆
@@MaddyReactionsit was a lie detector test 😂
That opening guitar solo - if you have a jazz background, it may come across as "what you always wanted but didn't get from someone like Al DiMeola"
Ha ha
This is not disco music. It's quite normal that you don't like it since you can't get it.
Maddy! Get away from that edge you are too close! 😅
🤣
You did a GREAT JOB listening to this for the first time because you actually LISTENED to it.
This song is definitely challenging. It takes a few times before you like it and enjoy the subtlety of the more melodic sections.
Also, I admire your honesty and I love reactions that are genuine.
Thanks and keep the awesome vids!
I remember listening this to the first time a few years back and asked my friend “What’s the point of all this?” He was a huge Yes fan and I wanted to see what he saw but just didn’t. These days, I’m a bigger fan of Yes than even him. I love all the eras of Yes where he has a love strictly for the classic era (Pre 90125). Long story short, Close to the Edge to me is a masterpiece and now is my favorite song in the history of music.
Hahahaha. .This was fun. For me this is a masterpiece. YES is the band that made me love music. Master musicians and beyond. Top nodge. YES for ever!! Thank you Maddy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your honesty is like a breath of fresh air among all the other reactors who say that the song they just heard is the greatest thing ever. I used to be a huge Yes fan, well, more precisely a huge Chris Squire fan. I've since disembarked from the Prog Rock train to explore other genres. But, If I were to introduce someone to Yes this is not where I would start. Try Roundabout. It follows a more traditional verse/chorus arrangement that really showcases the genius of the individual members, especially Squire.
Can you understand the entire life of the first ILUMINATED human , called BUDA , OR SIDARTA GAUTAMA RESUMED IN ONE MUSIC IN 22 MINUTES ??????
I'm a massive Yes Fan and a former prog-rock drummer who understands the complexity of said genre.
Having said that, I have to agree with you maddy that the beginning of this track is too chaotic even for my ears.
I'm old enough to remember when this was released and it was an inspiration to me but I think "Roundabout" is a much better track.
You won't be losing my sub just because you don't like a certain track.
Honesty is always the best option.
Love you and your channel.
Keep rocking girl.
✌️❤️🇬🇧
Roundabout the more melodic and easier song to get into.
From a fellow Brit
@@MikePhillips-pl6ovagreed Sir.
I don't know about you, but Steve Howe's guitar style irks me somewhat.
It always reminds me of the sound of a spider running across a sheet of A4.
I call him staccato Steve.
I think Awaken would be a better track for Maddy.
"I think that music should be accessible to a major of people, if not i don't really see it as being impactful" That is not only closed minded but also an anti-art mentality
lol anti art?? Sounds like I’m about to get canceled 😂🤷🏽♀️
18:20 Your face of disgust has me in TEARS over here😭💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂
That's just the thing this does have mass appeal. It was the album and song that made YES the greatest prog rock band of all time.
Blew me away 30 years ago when I first heard it
Listened to this in college and just closed my eyes and went on the journey love it
You are right as it appears to be a generational thing, whereas, at your age, you simply didn't grow up listening to this type of music. In other words, you haven't been "conditioned" for it, and thus, songs like this are like a shock to your system. Nor have you grown up in the cultural climate of those days and of how some of the seventies music and late sixties too had a certain listening experience to it.
I recently saw where Nancy Wilson of the band Heart describes the seventies music as more of a mind expansion period of music which makes sense. So, you see bands in the classic rock genre like Yes, Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, etc. have a type of music that takes you on a journey. Their style of music is more of a "head space" type of music where the idea is to relax and let the music take you away or to use today's popular vernacular to "go with the flow." Their music is beyond just listening to some accessible song; but, is music that also creates an "experience" while doing so.
This song by Yes is probably one of the worst ones you could possibly start out with if you're not familiar with or like their style of music. A gateway song, it's not! It is one of the most non-accessible songs for the "uninitiated" to this subgenre of rock, "progressive rock."
If you are open-minded enough and are up for tackling another Yes song again, I strongly suggest "Wonderous Stories" which is much more melodic in a simpler and accessible way with angelic vocals. I think you might really like that one!
PS: You might be surprised; but, this song is considered a timeless masterpiece by many of us who grew up in this era. And, it definitely has stood the test of time! :)
Wondrous Stories is an excellent choice as a Yes gateway song
Very well said. 🤘🏼
Better than 99% of shit that comes out today with absolutely 0 talent. I can’t believe
She just compared this to mumnble rap. That takes 0 talent. And this resonated with EVERYOne you’re in the minority… it’s pure talent and art
the same reason why you didn't enjoy the beginning of the song is the reason why men like to watch spots by themselves 😂
I deeply appreciate your honesty. This song is definitely not for everyone. For people like me whose teenaged years were spent listening to this and other progressive music was a great alternative to the trash that was being played over and over on the radio. The disjointed beginning made me anxious at first too. But I grew to love the innovative composition and varied movements in it. However, I cannot expect someone like you to find the same appreciation as I do.
I love your reactions and no I do not hate you for this reaction. I am impressed that you gave it a go.
No one would like prog rock on the first listen, because your ears need to traib first to hear all the layers, all the melodies, all tempo changes and arrangements. I understand you, in fact my favorite songs from all humanity were not even liked by me on the first listen. But now I can say with no doubts, this song is one of the best pieces of music ever composed.
Some people are not prepared to understand this music.
Love the honest reaction. Some reactors just say they love the track, even if you know they don't get it!
Hallmarks of prog rock are odd time signatures, poly-rhythms, interesting/unexpected chord progressions. With English Prog, you get some classical influences and with Yes in particular you get soundscapes, church organs and actually really catchy melody lines and choruses!
Far and away the longest-lasting and the most popular of the 1970s progressive rock groups, Yes proved one of the lingering success stories from that genre. The band was formed in London in 1968 by singer Jon Anderson and bassist Chris Squire, both owners of high, clear tenor voices that blended seamlessly in the band's trademark harmonies. Yes overcame a generational shift in its audience to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band, purveyors of cosmic (often mystical) lyrics, virtuoso playing, and vast musical tapestries topped off with heart-stoppingly gorgeous melodies and sealed with a rock & roll kick. - All Music Guide
By The Way, YES is said to have always been a musicians' band of musicians...just saying:)
The guitar and bass sound so great throughout the song. The first Yes I heard was the album Relayer, and that took some listens to appreciate it. After that, the previous albums were much more admirable to me, and the albums Fragile and Close to the Edge are among my favourite albums.
Your face is that of all my friends and every woman have dated. 😊 Completely understandable, does make us who adore them, mostly sad that you are truly missing out on beauty. Ty for reaction.
My girlfriend won't listen to any of 'my' music as she has a similar reaction! That takes out all my prog rock, hard rock, heavy metal/metal, and blues!
Yes toured with Mahavishnu Orchestra and were very taken with their music - "Steve Howe writes that the intro was an attempt to emulate the sound of jazz guitarist John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, a favorite of the band's."
This is the kind of song you need to listen to a few times to make sense. Close to the Edge is a progressive rock classic, often considered the pinnacle of the genre and Yes' magnum opus. The song's introduction is constructed in the form of polyrhythms, which causes a certain strangeness at first; the music itself brings a symbiosis between rock, jazz and classical music, and is divided into four sessions, just like an classical piece; the lyrics are based on a book called Siddhartha from 1922, by writer Hermann Hesse, which is about a mystical journey of self-knowledge, and the structure of the lyrics is built like a poem. Truly, an epic... epic!
Wait until you hear (or not) The Gates of Delirium... 😀
Just follow Chris Squires bassline and you will be fine
As a big Yes fan, I really enjoyed this reaction. So honest. I could feel your pain. Not the best track to start with. Maybe Wondrous stories.
This is what I love about your reviews. You don't sugar coat or blow smoke just to get likes. The beautiful thing about music is that it reaches out to all tastes. If we all had the same tastes, music would be boring and monotonous. Not everyone likes dry wine, and not everyone likes scotch. A person's music taste is not what makes them.... honesty and being genuine does. Good video and stay beautiful

I counted 10 “true dat’s”!
😊
I would turn it off on the radio as well.If you do not like something,do not apologize,no need✌️
I think you're about ready for 'The Gates of Delirium' now...
Oh yeh ! Another Masterpiece but you might be throwing her under the bus after this reaction, I'm not sure she'll thank you for that but one never knows.
@@amarjitsinghdulay1890 haha I was sort of joking, though it would be fun to watch! 🙂
in college, i used to play this on repeat at night to help me sleep........ during 90s
It's ok not everyone is into progrock..
Asking someone who has never listened to Yes to listen to Close to the Edge for the first time is like asking a newly licensed driver to compete in the Indianapolis 500. That isn't a put down of your ability to comprehend and enjoy music. It would be unfortunate if you made your entire evaluation of the discography of Yes based upon your first impression of this song.
I will add, however, that people from many generations, a broad swath of humanity has listened to this and enjoyed it. It's not a fringe group of people by any means.
Your comments relating to being uncomfortable... Consider, perhaps that was the purpose of some of those parts. But the part of the song that most listeners hear what feels to them as "recovery", a deep breath, and a church organ that raises tension and lifts to a release, you interpreted as a horror film. Thank you for your honest expression. Now spend a little time with that and ask yourself how you impressed such a negative connotation to what is commonly deemed beautify uplifting. It's okay that you didn't feel that way. Yes would encourage you to investigate WHY.
The music pushes you to feel, and invites you to ponder how and why. That's not how most people listen to common music. It's fine if you don't want to go there. But it's kind of crass to put down people that do. I don't really think you meant it the way you said it. I think you were getting ahead of the backlash you anticipated, and wandered into defensive speak when you implied only a small group of people would like this song. It's simply not the case. But MOST people don't start with this. There are plenty of other songs that came before this that lead a listener to be capable of grasping this. And many songs after as well. But Yes isn't "easy listening", to be sure. Very rarely is that ever their intent. It would be a shame if you don't try listening to some earlier stuff, or And You and I from the same album. Or as someone else suggested, the song Turn of the Century from the album of the same name.
People that listen to Yes almost universally describe the music as positive and uplifting, even if there is sometimes a journey to that point. We come to trust that. That trust hadn't been established with you. Your apprehension comes through clearly. Release that. Listen to some shorter and easier early pieces and take time to contemplate the how and what of those songs for you. I promise it will grow you. If you don't want that growth, then skip all of this and put on the Carpenters, or Abba, or anything that doesn't make you work and really consider the depth of a thing. They too can be deep. If you work with Yes you will see more depth in even the simplest of things.
Happy listening
So simple, it’s about being close to the edge
Only thing I disagree about is the idea that music should be assessable, that idea has gotten us to a place where everything kind of sounds the same. This music used to fill up large arenas because people were not convinced that all music should basically sound the same.
Good point.
Don't worry, Maddy. Water flows and finds its way. Just listen again in a few months.
Now im one step closer to the edge🤣😬🤣
I definitely was! 😂
The inspiration for this song was the book Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. It's about the life of Buddha which was very popular at this time.
Fantastic book!
I hope this isn’t the first song by Yes that yo heard because there are So Many Classic Rock songs from them that you would really like . Please listen to some more Yes from the 70’s before you give up on them🙏🏻👍🏻❤️🎼
You obviously don't get the music, don't you? NOT recommended: Gates of Delirium 😂
LOL!
Oh no! That would make her freak out! That is, until she got to the "Soon" section. Then she would float to the heavens!!!
@@saurian11 She'll never make it to the Soon part !! I suggest we give her the YT link from Gates of Delirium where the Soon section starts to avoid any brain damage 😃
I saw the band 4 times and they were always great live!
One of the most talented bands in history.Enjoy
As far as Yes goes, maybe you should have listened to a more radio-friendly tune of theirs like "Owner of a Lonely Heart"or "Roundabout". Sometimes their long epics "shock" the casual listener, and it takes a few listens to catch on to what they're doing. I can understand that it's a lot to take in, on first listen. Trust me, I've been listening to them since 1975, and I'm still a die-hard fan and been to many of their concerts! But, to each their own i guess. BTW, It's supposed to be chaotic and make you feel uneasy in parts of the song. But there is also a serene beauty to it in other parts. Hence being called "CLOSE TO THE EDGE". take care.
Btw-
Dear Maddy,
Do not ever-for any reason- under any circumstances-listen to Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention😂
Sincerely,
😊Concerned citizen
😂😂😂
There was a lot of experimentation during the late 60s in to the 70s from sound to transitions and people had their favorites...
It's like a movie. While millions have bought the records and seen in concert so there is an audience. BUT there are many moods included so it's like an adventure.
You have to listen to it several times to appreciate it.
Do not give up, give YES another chance, you don’t know what you gonna lose 👍
I first heard this in my later teenage years, I had a friend somehow and he had these friends, and they smoked a lot of sweet smelling cigarettes. They played this, and leant me a bunch of records. I never got their vibe, but a lot on the music they leant me stuck. A lot of Yes is not about instant gratification. Even after 50 years I still like their music, now that has to say something about it. Thanks for the insights, you did make my eyes and ears widen with your review.
They did better at wrecking my brain than I could there for a second, but I snapped out of it back to my wrecking ball. Legends never die they add bricks to streets where gods can see them.
My advice on this song is to listen to it at least 3 times before forming an opinion.First time I heard it I felt the same as you about it, now one of my favourites. You mentioned the group Kansas, which credits the group Yes as being the greatest influence on their development.
it's to build up tension.Total Prog rock.
"Five Hippies fighting over a bowl of muesli" is how one music critic memorably described Yes at the time of this album and you can see why. It sounds a mess, but, the more you listen the more it makes sense. Imo Yes had moments of sublime greatness, but also large portions of, frankly, dross. I much preferred the contemporary Genesis.
I preferred early Genesis more too, but Yes just grew on me over the years.
The muesli comment was probably from one of those self-righteous journos in the NME who thought that punk was the be all and end all of all modern music.
All we can ask for is a honest reaction, Maddy ……and we certainly got one 😂 I don’t watch you to just have my own prejudices confirmed, but to see someone of a different generation experience music I love for the first time, which I can never do again (and mostly can’t remember how I did feel that first time). Hope this hasn’t completely put you off being open to try other Yes songs in the future! (You’re possibly going to get a lot more requests just to wind you up). Take care.

These very old songs from YES are not to everyone's taste. If you're not too put off, try some fairly current songs from them. For example:
"The Ice Bridge" (2021)
ruclips.net/video/PbGEa7ju8bg/видео.html
or “Mirror to the Sky” (2023)
ruclips.net/video/jj2CulCC-uk/видео.html
These are also songs with “extra length”, but they are a bit catchier.
The beginning is intended to be chaotic (close to the edge) and make you uncomfortable. It worked perfectly with you.
Literally close to the edge 😂
it's an assault on the ears, an acquired teste. God bless you
ANOTHER FABULOUS SONG!!!! JUST TO SAY ONE THING I NEVER KNEW THIS TO BE PROGRESSIVE IT WAS ROCK N ROLL TO ME LOL I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT JON IS SINGING BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT TO ME :D OUR PALLETS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOL
AW, what a beautiful little Frenchy! So adorable.
Thank you! 😊
The opening music is called "The Solid Time of Change." That explains all of the dissonance and time/chord changes.
You could say that early part took you Close to the Edge.
I play Yes for background music when I want to focus on some work or need a break from reality. Usually get mesmerized by the sounds and forget the work! Not a bad day, that.
Maddy don't be too harsh on yourself. Those that have a go at you for not appreciating this on your first take are pretentious bleep bleep bleeps. I am from the generation that you mentioned as being from the time when this first came out and only just. I am a young 61. I will tell you that when I first heard this I didn't understand the weird time signatures at the beginning and I must admit I was bamboozled. However the otherworldly midsection had me entranced from the onset along with the out of body organ section. The hardest bit was the intro to the song as it is blast to the senses but I persevered and I listened to it again, and again, and again until the coin dropped. And believe you me the coin will drop. And when it does everything will fall into place and you will think, why did I not get this straight away. I am making the assumption that you have the inclination and also I'm also assuming that if it happened to me it should happen to you over time. But as you said it might be that some are wired differently or that it might be a generational thing. Maybe. But an album which many including myself hail as being one of the holy grails of prog rock, I feel it is owed the respect of giving it time to invest in its creation. At least you are honest in your review unlike some who pamper to the audience just because they have told that you must like it. Either way do yourself a favour and give it a few chances. You've got a lot to gain if you do connect but if don't put it down to experience.
As a big fan of Yes, starting in the early 70's, this song has always been one of my favorites. I have no problem with Maddy not thinking as highly of it as I do, in fact, I appreciate her honest opinion. Far too many reactors seem to like everything, which I just can't believe is true. I like prog rock a lot, but I hate every song Rush ever did, and most fans of prog can't understand how I can dislike the band. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, there is no right or wrong reaction to music!
I am with you.. Big Prog fan but could never get with Rush..
Same here. I have an extended library of Prog rock CD's and only 1 Rush album. I listened one time, and I hate it (A Farewell To Kings)
Completely understand and I am a Yes fan. I’ve seen them live several times and I admit Close to the Edge is not the most accessible song and while many consider it a masterpiece I find it okay and the opening isn’t my favorite. There is plenty to love with Yes. Don’t give up on them. In fact in the 80s they went a little more mainstream sounding.
Hi Maddy. If you were to listen to the beginning madness a few time you would see the music appear. Very complicated, brilliant and everything fits. Be patient with it and you will come to see how "CLOSE TO THE EDGE" they get with it. As far as the rest of the song is concerned, progressive rock is very much changing melodies. It's like there are 7 different songs in one piece. Very creative. A bit like an orchestral concerto. Expect anything and everything.
Goodbye & good riddance to that guy! It's his loss! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.I, on the other hand would never hate you😍🥰 Could u react to Yes's "Owner of a lonely heart"?
Listening to this is like having a Filet Mignon served to you on a paper plate. (You're the filet, of course) But, hey, every now and then we need something to remind us of the great music we share.
After-all, how would we recognize the good from the ... not good? 😁
Find some more Pentatonix. That will ease the pain. 😍Love you!
Oh come on now this is one of the greatest songs ever.
🤷🏽♀️😂
Among a niche population maybe. This definitely isn't for everyone.
So being a YES fan since the early 70’s. I grew up on prog rock. Prog rock is full of time signature changes, changes in melodies etc… This particular song is the epitome of prog rock. For a person of any age group for this to be their first experience of this genre it can be very uncomfortable unless you know what’s going on.
Go back and listen to Roundabout by YES. It will be more pleasing to your ears. Then try some early Genesis Selling England by the Poind and maybe some Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. Then come back to Close to the Edge.
Soorry for my bad english im a brazilian guy
A honest reaction, well that is refreshing. I don't know who prompted you to listen to Close to the Edge but they certainly didn't do you any favors. Others have recommended Yes songs more in your wheelhouse. I spent the majority of my youth listening to music that wasn't in my wheelhouse yet, but I grew to love all of it. And once I understood microtones, chord changes, modality, odd time signatures, and dissonance the whole of my world opened up. It allows me to listen to genres that I 🤔🤨🙉 with now and still appreciate what is going on musically. I hope you continue to listen to various Yes songs. But keep sticking to your own opinion. Peace.
Maddy quick question, are you able to reupload the Voodoo Lady song? if not it's okay, just thought i'd ask, didn't get a chance to see it 😂😂😭😭😭
