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.

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.

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.

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 KZread, I think you should have a look ASAP! OMG!

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.

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.

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 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.

You can hear the wind whisper to you when you hear this. You can hear that he say something important, but you can't recognize what, so, he leave his arms around you in a hug, while you know that nothing is hugging you, it's just your imagination while you watch the heart of the sunrise and your mind is the one talking to you, that something is important and you just need to get it. nevermind, i just wanna say that this is a masterpiece.

Yes j’ecoute cette musique depuis ;44 ans qui est toujours aussi bonne merci yes pour les beau souvenir avec les annee

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!

This song is the purest beauty.

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.

This song from YES vinyl LP record reminds me of the 1970s my favorite decade.

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 masterpiece of contemporary music.

Gracias genios. Escucharlos es un respiro para mi depresión.

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.

Nicely done. This was Chris Squire's favorite Yes song. The Fish is dead LONG LIVE THE FISH!!!! Here are Roger Dean's words on Chris's passing: Very sorry to hear the news that Chris’s died on Saturday night from leukemia. It was a great shock even though we were told it was likely. Chris was a huge force in Prog, in Rock and in Music, a major heartbeat has stopped. Chris will be missed by his family, by the band, by his millions of fans and friends and I will miss him.

This was the first lp song I ever listened to on headphones in the mid-70s. Amazing. Just amazing.

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...

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.

Tearing up after not having listened to this in so long. How I've missed Yes.

Exactly the same experience at this very moment...

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. ✨✨✨✨

Robert Pickering. My best friends parents had a limo service and a contract with pace concerts.I had the pleasure to drive the band to the summit and go backstage. Nicest group of guys you would ever want to meet. Very approchable

Chris Squires bass and the voice of an angel..Gawd..got it going on

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

Heart of the sunrise song stirs my imagination. Great song.

I have played the last segment of Close to the Edge every day for 16 years while driving to work..I hear it from the perspective my own personal experience on sept 15 1969 .."and according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space, he turned around and pointed revealing all the human race, I shook my head and whispered knowing all about the place......On the Hill We viewed the silence of the Valley to Witness cycles only of the past and we retold this with movements in between the same remark....that practice ALWAYS NOW opens the Doorway to the Self on the peak of a bridge 1000 miles away from where I dreamed about it 65 years ago when I was a child and now a permanent Image of God...Thou Art That Atma Samrat Yes You....all of US-ness!

It’s Christmas eve 2022. After many years, I had a sudden need/urge to listen to this amazing song, and masterpiece. Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

With videos and music like this I look forward to growing older thank you so very much for sharing absolutely love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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 ''---

Absolute Beauty.

RIP, Chris. Gone way too soon. Thanks for all the fantastic music.

The song that cemented 6/8 as my favorite time signature.

RIP Chris Squire...you were one of a kind and now you are on to the heart of the sunrise

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...
