Owner Of A Lonely Heart is from 1983. Roundabout = 1971. Big difference in band personnel etc
Well, first thing to consider, the album this song came from wasn't intended to be a Yes album in it's conception. It was to be a project focusing on the songs/music of South African musician Trevor Rabin. He formed a band to record his music with a couple of the members of Yes, that was to be called Cinema. After the project got rolling, a couple of other Yes members came on board, and in the end they decided to transform it into a Yes project since most of the members were involved. So, it has a very different sound than much of Yes's earlier work.
I'm big Yes fan, especially their earlier stuff, but I really liked this "side road" as well, unlike many other Yes fans.
90125 is THE reason that I am a YES and prof rock fan. I was 14 years old on March 9th, 1984 (I was so excited to be going to my 1st rock concert, I stared at my ticket for weeks!) "Sparkomatic Presents: YES at the Rosemont Horizon." The Rosemont Horizon was razed long ago.
ProG! Damned autocorrect!
Geddy Lee was once heard to say, "Without Yes, there wouldn't be a RUSH!" Just food for thought...
Listen to "Yours is no Disgrace"!
Like Roundabout, it is another song from the seventies.
Or "Starship Trooper," "Heart of the Sunrise," "Your Move/All Good People", "Perpetual Change", and "Long Distance Runaround." After that, he'll be ready to dive into "Close to the Edge."
After all these years, I have never seen that version of the video, like the previous commenters said, very interesting too see it
Enter Trevor Rabin, a multi pinch rule taking and former teen heartthrob in his native South Africa, due to his membership in the group "Rabbit." Of "Rabbit" Trevor has said,"I think we sold more posters than albums!" 😄
Trevor brought most of the songs, including "Owner of A Lonely Heart" to the band fully finished. The song was originally, as the title suggests, a rather pedestrian song of a boy with a broken heart over a girl. If you listen to Trevor's solo work it is much closer to regular American rock and roll love songs than what he produced in Yes. When Jon Anderson was invited to sing on this track, he is the one that wrote the line about the eagle in the sky!
🤔
My humble opinion, but if you're gonna listen to Yes, you want to stick to the period from '71-'77. They were a different band altogether after that. The Yes Album through Going For the One. Owner of a Lonely Heart is NOT representative of progs greatest band.
The group Yes reminds me of my parents, they were big fans. takes me back to my childhood.
The guitars tone at the beginning of the song! Always loved it.
Heart of the Sunrise is a fav of mine. 🇨🇦✌
This was from 83' when the band changed lineups again with Trevor Rabin on guitar instead of Steve Howe. They started in 68' and are still going but not what they used to be. The video sucks, but if I remember right the band didn't have input on it and didn't like the videos. This was a huge hit in 83 and still gets played a lot on radio. That album (90125) is great but most Yes fans like their 70's stuff the best, though they still do great stuff but are less consistent. If you want your mind blown, try anything from Close To the Edge, Relayer or Going For The One. For example, the song Close To the Edge, Gates of Delirium, Sound Chaser, To Be Over, Awaken, etc. there are a million great ones.
Most Yes fans consider that the band had two (2) distinct incarnations during its existence. Classic Yes, from 1968 - 1977 and New Yes, when Trevor Rabin joined (became) the band. in 1983. Classic Yes is best known for elaborate, psychedelic music, that was in the spirit of its time: "Roundabout" as you mentioned, was their biggest hit from that time period, and if you tune to a "Classic Rock" station, you might still hear it today. New Yes had its beginnings in 1979 after the group had essentially disbanded following the relatively dismal sales of their 1978 album "Tormato." In addition to all the band members suffering from "low energy" combined with too much drink & drugs, and the fact that the music buying public had moved on from the "Progressive Rock" of bands like Yes, King Crimson & Genesis, to Punk (e.g. The Sex Pistols,) the band had all but called it quits.
i saw them in concert awesome!!!!!!!!!
"Close to the Edge"
✌🙂👍💯
This Yes video was from 1983
This is so artsy that no one can figure it out! #80sRule
This was a streamlined approach to Yes flavors to fit into the shifting music biz climate of the 80s. We can argue the merits artistically (and I do) but if commercial success was their goal, the song hit number 1 and was played on every kind of station you could think of at the time.
😁 Laughed at this gonna be a sad song! 😍 Cool Beans! 😏 The 🎸 Bass on this track is freaking addictive! 🍿🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
If you've not heard it yet and you're still intrigued by their prog rock sound, try out the first track to their album Tales from Topographical Oceans.
You just need to listen to the song, no video. Check out "It Can Happen" by them!
I agree, just listen to the song. I hate when they watch a video and call it a music review, it’s really a video review. 😀, I do not remember the music stopping when the song first came out. That music stoppage completely ruins the rest of the song.
Starship Trooper, And You And I, America, Siberian Khatru, All Good People, Yours is No Disgrace....so many
For me this is an okay song but nowhere near as good as their earlier music. I would suggest that you listen to And You and I, Heart of the Sunrise or my favorite YES song Siberian Khatru. Close to the Edge is probably their greatest song, it's an 18+ minute journey, but I always recommend that people listen to their earlier music first to get a better feel for them before jumping in to CTTE.
It's just the age old tale of feeling like(by societal standards) you're "supposed" to follow a certain path, yet your heart is telling you to follow another and is describing how it can be a hard, lonely struggle to figure it out and just be yourself. Hence: "free yourself, give your freewill a chance. You've got to work to succeed".... That's always been my take on it. The video though, (some parts anyway).... not my cup of tea. Although it does show him turning to go his own direction separate from the others. That part I'm good with! :)
Any early YES from 1970 - 84 is supreme..... that film clip is from the 80's where they had to change their sound.... you really need to hear And You and I , South Side of the Sky, Starship Trooper, Yours is No Disgrace, Gates of Delerium, Heart of the Sunrise, America , Awaken, Machine Messiah, Long Distance Runaround, Close to the Edge, Siberian Khatru.... etc ,etc.
I have always loved this song and music video.
Do “America!” An under appreciated song.
"I've Seen All Good People" should be a good reaction.
Early 80’s
I've seen all good people - SUCH A JAM
"The Gates of Delirium", "Close to the Edge", "Turn of the Century", "The Revealing Science of God" (live version from The Keys to Ascension album), another great live video: "Awaken" : czcams.com/video/nDXccU0xgNo/video.html , "Turn of the Century ', 'Starship Trooper"...
Biz, DEVO, early 80s group, lots of fun with their official videos. A must... you'll see what I mean. Songs:
Whip it
Freedom of choice (my fav)
Girl U want
Working in a coalmine
Thx❤️
My man I gotta recommend that you listen to their song Starship Trooper. It's definitely their best in my opinion.
best album ever
This is Jon Anderson of Yes.... They do a good job but this is not... whatever.. Favorite Yes song that's a tough one.. 'South side of the sky' , 'Awaken' 'Long distance runaround' Starship Troopers" Thanks for the reaction..
Great song suggestions! I'd just like to make a small correction here. This song and the album has nothing to do with Jon Anderson's solo career. I'll write a short explanation of what happened:
The band "Yes" no longer existed for a while. I think it happened back in 1981. This band performing "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was supposed to be called "Cinema" and most of the songs on the album were written for that band. "Cinema" had many Yes members, like the original bassist Chris Squire, the drummer Alan White and the original keyboardist Tony Kaye. There were some discussions with Jon Anderson and he decided to join the band. Then they chose to name the band again as "Yes". Well, you can definitely call the band "Yes" because the guitarist Trevor Rabin is the only new member of the band. The music is a bit different though but I still like the album.
I also prefer the 1970s Yes. Starship Trooper, Awaken and South Side of the Sky are some of my true favorites. Long Distance Runaround is also great. Take care and have a fantastic day.
The video was strange but it was the 1980's. Their 1970's stuff was more prog rock which I actually liked better.
This is around the time commercialism started to creep into their sound
I agree. Love the song, not the video.
That was from the 80’s
This video isn't quite the original with the pause.
Hadn't seen this version. Very interesting.
Did it show the band members playing in the original?
Awesome song though, guitar bass, drums, vocals all on point.
The Cult, "She sells sanctuary". Official video please. Thanks Biz☮️
Multi instrumentalist! Damned autocorrect!😮
The Video is about Freeing yourself
I suggest you do "Awaken" next. It takes you on an uplifting spiritual journey. Here's a great live version: czcams.com/video/nDXccU0xgNo/video.html or the studio version. But it's amazing how close the live version is to the studio version.
YES for me, has always been about quick unexpected changes in a song. Complex, if that makes sense? Lots of types of instrumental sounds.
When I think of YES I instantly hear the chorus to "Hearts" in my head from the 90215 album. Literally BIZ, it sounds like 6 different songs in one & each one represents a "YES" style of song to me. If someone asked me what YES sounds like I would hand them "Hearts".
I don't even know if people are familiar with that song at all! Maybe just check it out yourself instead of reaction! Keep going once you start. Lots of change ups. I'm so curious what you think of it. Message me here?
YES fans - don't throw shade!
It's my opinion! 🤦♀️🤣✌❤🎵
"Hearts" is definitely a great song. It's my favorite from the 90125 album. I'm so glad that you mentioned it and I really liked your comment. Take care and have a wonderful day.
I love the whole album, but I agree hearts is amazing
Try a band called The The. Very interesting band a British woman, I met as a young Marine, turned me onto in the 80s. They were part of a rebellion against punk/post-punk and went for a more polished jazz/rock sound that ended up inspiring a whole scene in London and thus, the world. This is one of my fav tracks off their first American LP Infected - czcams.com/video/CIRP2iCfKzk/video.html
The title track from that album is pretty sweet. czcams.com/video/GkUxx1Por7g/video.html
This song has an opener recording of a Forward Air Controller. That's an Air Force position where they call in precision Close Air Support. I got to do that in the Marines. We called the same position a Forward Observer, (cool name when you think about life). Wasn't my official job. I was cross trained as I was in 2D ANGLICO, (Air/Naval Gunfire Liaison Company) as their Water Safety Survival Instructor. Either way, it's a cool song and beautiful instrumentation! czcams.com/video/quQArlckTS4/video.html
?? where'd you find that video? Never saw that beginning part before.
CZcams
React to EVE-Power (they are a bpop group) bpop = Brazilian Group
Suggestion for band Local H
Songs... Bound For the Floor,
Innocents, The Kids are Alright.
Hopefully u can react to the music videos. Most underrated band from the 90’s. IMO.
Thank you!!!
Changes is my favorite
I played "Changes" on drum line in high school. It was always a crowd favorite.
@@jennhurl I know the intro and outro always throw ppl off with the strange timing.
This is my favorite Yes song.
Love this one. My favourite Yes song.
Please disregard this video. Do Yes's earlier songs from 70-79! Then move on to the 80's 90's and 2000's!
Hey Biz, this isn't even a real Yes tune. This is a Yes attempt at a top 40 video. Pretty much anything off of the Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge is a winner.
This song marked the beginning of the end for Yes.
Thanks BizMatik, Great song, strange video, I'm with you on that for sure. Here's a link to the live version: czcams.com/video/LPvAgQaKpCw/video.html
Noooo, dude. This was just a terrible follow up to Roundabout. Definitely should follow up with And You & I, Starship Trooper, and I’ve Seen All Good People! ✌️🙂
I actually like the vid, lmao.
Don’t receive the free will at all. It was early eighties. But yes was not playing around. Separate the video from the music. BOth are magical in their own way.
Did Weird Al do a parody of this song?
Before YES was
Emmerson Lake and Palmer
Sorry but Yes started in 68 and Emerson Lake and Palmer didn't form until 1970!
Mid 80s video
Yes in the 70s is real Yes. Yes in the 80s is Yes, but not Yes. No better way to explain that. "Yours Is No Disgrace", "Heart of the Sunrise", "South Side of the Sky", "I've Seen All Good People", "Starship Trooper", "Awaken" - and when you're ready for it, their magnum opus - "Close to the Edge". This video sucks. If you listen to any 80's Yes, "Changes", "Leave it" or "It Can Happen".
please just stick to 70s YES
I have been a Yes fan since I was 15, I'm 64 now. This is by far the worst Yes song ever made.
Yep hot garbage
I like it, can’t stand this video, especially the pause at the beginning, but the song is good. I get that it’s not the same ‘yes’, but the video is definitely a hot mess.
I think there was worse stuff on tormato
Video is very distracting... Takes away from the song.
This video is .....fucked!
not their best moment...the song aint bad but the vid is awful
