Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks 'Counties and Countries' - Official Music Video

"Counties and Countries" Lyrics:

I’VE SEEN COUNTIES AND COUNTRIES
THE GARDENS OF EDEN
ARE CALLING ME, CALLING ME HOME
AND I SAID, I WOULD DELIVER
THE PROMISE OF LIFETIMES
CALLING ME, CALLING ME, CALLING ME HOME
FOR I RECEIVED IT ON THAT DAY
THE GIFT OF LOVE WAS HERE TO STAY
ASKING FOR THE LOVE THAT WOULD ALWAYS
DELIVER
ASKING FOR THE LOVE YET TO COME

I’VE SEEN COUNTIES AND COUNTRIES
THE GARDENS OF EDEN
ARE CALLING ME, CALLING ME HOME
THE MOUNTAINS, DOWN THROUGH THE OCEANS
THE GIFT OF CREATION
ARE CALLING ME, CALLING ME, CALLING ME HOME
FOR I RECEIVED IT ON THAT DAY
THE GIFT OF LOVE WAS HERE TO STAY
ASKING FOR THE LOVE THAT WOULD ALWAYS
DELIVER
ASKING FOR THE LOVE YET TO COME
THE LOVE YET TO COME
THE LOVE YET TO COME
THE LOVE YET TO COME, SAY I, SAY I

THE LOVE YET TO COME
THIS MIRACLE’S GOT TO KEEP US ALIVE
GOTTA GET THAT BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE

ONLY FOR YOU
ONLY FOR YOU
ONLY FOR YOU, TO BE RECEIVED
TO BE RECEIVED
TO BE RECEIVED, BY YOU

ONLY FOR YOU
ONLY FOR YOU
ONLY FOR YOU, TO BE RECEIVED
TO BE RECEIVED
TO BE RECEIVED, BY YOU

I REACHED OUT AND DISCOVERED
THAT WORDS ARE FOREVER
NEVER REPEAT WHAT YOU DON’T BELIEVE
AND I SAID I WOULD REMEMBER
THAT PEOPLE FORGIVING
THAT COMES WITH THE LOVING OF YOUR SOUL

JUST REACHING FOR THE STRENGTH OF ANOTHER
YOUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS
CALLING ME, CALLING ME, CALLING ME HOME

CAUSE I BELIEVED IT ON AT THAT DAY

THE GIFT OF LOVE WAS HERE TO STAY
GIFTING ME, JUST KNOWING THAT LOVE IS
FOREVER
KNOWING OF THE TRUTH YET TO COME
THE TRUTH YET TO COME
THE DEEPER YOU GOT IT
THE LOVE YET TO COME
HERE IN YOUR LIFETIME

GOTTA GET THAT BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE
THE LOVE YET TO COME
THE BEST YET TO COME, SAY I, SAY I
THE LOVE YET TO COME, SAY I, SAY I

Hooking up with The Band Geeks was the best decision Jon has made in forty years.

[FireMunki]

More Yes than Yes is today. Jon is the Heart and Soul of Yes and Band of Geeks are just superb.

[PsychedelicGoo]

Chris Squire will be smiling down on this for sure. The Yes spirit is strong here.

[dangillespy-vk]

At 80 years old Jon Anderson still sounds as good as he did back when he was in his 20s.
Jon Anderson totally rocks.💯🤘🤘

[CJCarson-pj]

How can anyone sing THIS GREAT at age 80? Holy fuck. This whole band is incredible, reminds me of the glory days of Yes. But, Jon... Jesus Christ, what a voice.

[brianmccarty]

I am no longer sad that Jon left Yes. This collaboration is amazing!

[aldapatxomarrutxipi]

The best song in the last 30 years. Rick Wakeman said that everything was connected with Jon Anderson in a peculiar way. If anyone had any doubts about Jon Anderson's influence on Yes' music, this is a clear example. 100% Yes. Thanks to Ritchie Castellano and his band for developing Jon's concepts. Highlighting the tremendous solo by Chris Clarck, reminiscent of Wakeman's best version. Rock on Jon!!

[jairoethielpmorales]

This album proves that Jon is the heart & soul of Yes! Great collaboration with The Geek Bands!!!

[privatemale]

You guys are making so many YES fans happy!!

[PeterJVogel]

The genius of this lineup is that all parts are represented: the guitarist blends Howe/Rabin qualities; the keyboardists blend Kaye/Wakeman qualities; the drummer blends Bruford/White qualities; the bass is Squire-esque and Jon is Jon. Sublime. 🙏

[andrewp.schubert]

The Band Geeks are incredible and Jon sounds as good as ever. A match made in heaven.

[FeFiFoFumist]

I was beginning to think I'd never hear a new 'YES' song ever again! Boy was I wrong. This is superb. I love the whole album, but this is the best...Jon's voice is amazing for a guy of his age, been with him since 1970, still with him.

[scottward]

Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks' song "Counties and Countries" is nothing short of a masterpiece, capturing the essence of what made classic YES music so legendary. The track seamlessly blends intricate musicianship, soaring vocals, and profound lyrical themes, echoing the grandeur and complexity of YES's most celebrated epics. For those who appreciate the depth and brilliance of YES's classic works, "Counties and Countries" stands proudly alongside them, offering a fresh yet nostalgically resonant experience. It’s a testament to Jon Anderson’s enduring genius and a remarkable tribute to the timeless spirit of progressive rock.

[leo-jqws]

Hace 50 años que soy fanático de la banda Yes, con todas sus diferentes formaciones y estoy escuchando a esta nueva formación y me me sorprendió lo ajustada que suena, con una tonalidad y estilo de los 70, excelentes coros y sus diferentes estadios de relax, muy buena ....Grande Anderson por siempre Yes .

[chrisoberst]

The best "Yes" song I've heard in many a moon. Bravo!

[johnruth]

Jon Anderson is perhaps the greatest vocalist on the planet! I got to meet him when "Friends of Mr. Cario" came out. He was kind and inspiring. The Band Geeks are so respectful of this timeless music, and quite frankly, superior to the ( other ) YES forgery that's out now.

[nykol]

Jon, 80 years old but forever young ! ❤

[mohawkvalleyrailroad]

I am truly thankful that I was born in this time and age. How terrible it must be to live through a time when you couldn’t hear Jon Anderson sing.

[ricmatteson]

Sweet! All the best to the Geeks, you guys truly earned it. The very Spirit of Yes lives on.

[carlknecht]

I love seeing all the other comments knowing there’s so many Yes fans still in existence!
