First time hearing Yes 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'

The last time I listened to Yes, I heard a more recent live version of "Roundabout" and absolutely loved it. But you all said I needed to hear Jon Anderson in his prime. Thank the Patrons for bringing Yes back onto my list, and the switch to an old music video... well that's my contribution to hear these vocals with striking clarity!

Hello lovelies!


Additionally, since the settlement they have been certified by HITRUST, which is an industry-recognized gold standard for providing the highest level of information protection. It is one of the most recognized data security certification programs in the health industry.

I would never promote a product I didn’t deeply believe in, and BetterHelp is a service that helps some of us find the therapists we may need to help us through those dark times, or prevent dark times. If you’d like to know more, let’s engage here in this comment thread!

When this song hit, people had NEVER heard anything like this before. That guitar at the beginning, along with the "Horn Stabs" and drum loops were "samples", which was a brand new thing. The sampler was 8 bit and done on a "Fairlight CMI (Series II)".

Also, the whole album "90125" (1983) is a gem. So many great songs: "Changes", "Leave It", "It Can Happen", "City of Love" and "Hold On" are all worthy. The musicianship is impeccable, the production innovative and their reinvention is refreshing.

[johnpayan]

Chris Squire was one of the GOATS on bass. RIP.

[jamesraleigh]

As someone mentioned below, this song is PERFECT for testing out sound systems for live shows. That quiet, clean, crisp, open section after the guitar solo is so perfectly recorded and mixed for testing your sound system!!

[milansekularac]

This band is huge. And Jon Anderson is a treasure. His works with Vangelis are also amazing...

[SomeOneNew]

There has always been a ridiculous amount of talent in this band, but the addition of Trevor Rabin took them to a whole different level. His creativity is astounding

[trfatman]

1983. Bands from the 70's were struggling to be relevant in the ever-changing world of music...and YES releases 90215. "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" was the big single off the album, and boy, did it get a lot of airplay! This 1970's prog rock band had no business releasing a Billboard #1 hit single that would instantly be recognizable from the opening guitar riff. But they did. And YES was introduced to a whole new breed of listeners.

[rebeccalipps]

"Leave It" from the 90125 album will knock your socks off! A hard-hitting vocal entrance leads to the great harmonies they are known for best. One of the best videos that utilizes the medium to aid the storyline. Many of the European groups had been making videos with their music for years & were better at it than their U.S. counterparts.

[c.k.]

This was a huge hit with the dance club crowd when it came out. The album was one of those gems where an older, established group comes back to say "we aren't done yet". Still would like to see a dive into Yes' "Your Move, I've Seen All Good People" Lots of great concert content out there to look at.

[Aleveria]

I am SO HAPPY you chose this song. It's so multi-faceted, and I think the most "alive" of their songs. Seeing this performed in person is an experience I'll never forget.

[TheAlexCruz]

The amazing thing about Jon Anderson's voice...and the rest of the band, is that they sounded EXACTLY the same live as they did recorded which was amazing to hear live. I saw them for this tour. The stage was in the round and it still stands out as one of the best shows I've ever seen. Their story telling through music has always been fantastic

[kristieroybal]

Jon's voice ALWAYS gives me goosebumps, and makes me feel like I'm flying. His work with Vangelis, such as "The Friends of Mr. Cairo" is phenominal, as are his solo albums.

[johnbriggsmusic]

Please check out "Heart of the Sunrise" or "Close to the Edge." Jon's vocal performances on those two songs are incredible.

[bigdogblackie]

I've never seen anyone who is so visually emotional about music like Elizabeth. Sometimes I actually think no one else "gets" music like this, the emotions it evokes, as the artist intended. Although it's rare, I've seen Elizabeth sad too, such as when she was reviewing "One" by Metallica. My happy place😊

[fredwds]

The Yes catalog is vast and incredible. The musicianship unparalleled. Complex, innovative and timeless. Wrap your mind around Awaken, Sound Chaser, Heart of the Sunrise, Southside of the Sky, Long Distance Runaround, And You and I, The Gates of Delirium, Ritual:Nous Sommes Du Soleil, Siberian Khatru…and many many more!

[RushFanatic]

One of my favorite Yes songs that showcased Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, and Trevor Rabin’s vocal harmonies, along with their musicianship, is “Changes.” It’s not often name checked as one of their classics, but it’s such an amazing song vocally and messagewise in working through devastating relationship enders and hard life changes.

[MrBruinman]

Trevor Horn (Former Member of Yes and the Buggles) really stepped up his game in the production of this album. Absolute masterpiece.

[moneky]

Close to the Edge (studio v) is a must listen for Yes. With your appreciation for their complexity and messaging I think you will absolutely love it.

[bfhammer]

This was the monster hit from 90125. But I always liked "It Can Happen" and felt the lyrics were kind of speaking to my teenage self in 1983. I was dealing with the death of my father and it became sort of a comfort song for me. Check on that for the "uplifting" playlist.

[warrengday]

All 9 songs on this album are fantastic—simply called 90125, the albums catalogue number—Hold On, It Can Happen, Changes, Cinema, Leave It, Our Song, City of Love, Hearts. Thoroughly recommend.
