THEN

And in a time that's closer
Life will be even bolder - Then
Souls will be complicated
Life will be consummated - Then
Hearts will be brought together
Soon in our minds forever - Then

As long as we see
There's only us who can change it
Only us to rearrange it
At the start of a new kind of day

Love is the only answer
Hate is the root of cancer - Then
Truth is just for the being
And there's the sight for seeing - Then
Thoughts will be thought together
Soon in our minds forever - Then

As long as we see there's only us
Who can change it
Only us to rearrange it
At the start of a new kind of day

And in a time that's closer
Life will be even bolder - Then
Love is the only answer
Hate is the root of cancer - Then
Thoughts will be thought together
Soon in our minds forever - Then

1:28 favorite part I love the line “love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer”.

I am writing from 2022-I am now 62 years old-this is the music of my youth.( I live in Russia\former URSS)
And it is ETERNAL.This music is so beautiful that it will pass into the future when there will be no us and these young boys who created this beautiful music.I am so grateful to them for their music-they have graced my life!!!

[emergentform]

A true masterpiece that still holds weight today and, for me, has stood the test of time. Absolute genius, even in these early days.

[jkent]

Who is here because they love finding gems like this on YouTube?

[jamespayne]

Love Bill Bruford's drumming. Tight, crisp.

[suzandouglass]

This is my fav early Yes video. Jons get up, and Chris and Tony switching instruments, and of course Steve Howe in the video, but Peter Banks on the record. Wonderful music. Silly, silly people.

[elainetozer]

I'm 72 years young and YES moved to North Devon and I was fortunate to see them play many times locally 👍 Thank you X

[ronskopitz]

How was this not a hit?? Yes’ 2 early albums not being more successful is truly baffling to me. There is true greatness on them!

[moondogaudiojones]

I agree! I’m 72 and Yes was what I ate morning noon and night during my years at art college. Still love their music.

[awaken]

Chris is the star of this video. Fallen down on rocks being tired of keyboard solo 5:45

[joykeebler]

YES HAS TO BE THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME!.

[augustopinto]

Chris Squire on Keyboards wow, that's something new for me.

[ivantheturtle]

Out of all the music videos that have a billion views, this one deserves to be one of them!

[ReelStamas]

This is YES... Lots of great musicians have been in Yes, but THIS IS YES !!!

[marioalfredocarrenoperalta]

I agree with "Love is the only answer" and
"Hate is the root of cancer."

[Progressive-Rock]

ただただ懐かしい😂

YESの複雑な音楽はプログレ界でも特別な存在ですね✨
クリスとトニーが入れ替わっててワロタ😂

[danielromitre]

Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer. This is true.

[brunovallesmunoz]

MASSIVE underrated song, album and line up!!

[rembeadgc]

Such a harmonically, melodically and rhythmically rich band even in it's early days!

[JonahJojoTheMan]

Tony Kaye on bass, Chris on keyboards, Steve on guitar. He who hasn't been on the Time and a Word album.
And Bill is the happiest, freezing to death in this wind. And Chris's fall, in the end, was real.
What fun!
