Στη διάρκεια των ‘70s οι Yes παρουσίασαν μια σειρά από συνθέσεις που συγκαταλέγονται, imo, στις κορυφαίες του (progressive) rock ως είδους. Ακούμε μια αυτές. Το Heart Of The Sunrise περιέχεται στο άλμπουμ τους Fragile του 1971. Το ακούμε εδώ από το Yesssongs, ζωντανά εκτελεσμένο 2 χρόνια αργότερα. Η μπάντα είναι καθηλωτική : Jon Anderson – φωνή, Steve Howe – κιθάρα, Rick Wakeman – keyboards, Chris Squire – μπάσο, backing vocals, BIll Bruford – ντραμς.

During the ’70s, Yes presented a series of compositions that, imo, are among the most outstanding in (progressive) rock as a genre. We’re listening to one of them. “Heart of the Sunrise” is included in their 1971 album Fragile. Here, we hear it from Yessongs, performed live two years later. The band is mesmerizing : Jon Anderson – vocals, Steve Howe – guitar, Rick Wakeman – keyboards, Chris Squire – bass, backing vocals, Bill Bruford – drums.

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 distance
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
You’re 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 wind with its arms all around me?
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me?
I feel lost in the city
