I love Yes music because ...   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #67 of 94 |

I love Yes music because they are an instrument for the good of all! The music
expresses, powerfully, articulately, and in a very real, honest and human way,
the essence of a Divinity within us.

I have always been attracted to the music's for-the-good-of-all sound. It feels
good! It sounds true! I like that! You can't go wrong when you operate for the
good of all. And through all the changes in the band and in the sound, their
music has not gone wrong all these years, because it is a constant (and
comforting) thread through all of the changes. IMPO.

The music of Yes has always been FOR us (the individual), and FOR music. For
their own, but also for music in general (as attested to in Our Song, "Music
good to you, Music good to you," and others).

I, for one, wish that "when I grow up" (I'm 45), I may have an inkling of what
the music of Yes has always radiated. Until then, I'll keep listening.

Mark

Thanks for letting me fine-tune my words Guy. I see now how my words may come off a bit Polyannaish. By all means, I too mean MOST of Yes's music. Talk is...

Mark, Very well put. I think, to sum it all up: Yes is human. Back in 1974 I might have argued that they were gods, but age (mine and theirs) has tempered that...

Human/Gods? Gods/Humans? We grow. We learn. We mature. Our Yes-Gods turn out to be human beings after all. It causes me to wonder sometimes...perhaps they ARE...

Mark, Very well put. So many things to comment on. I truely believe that we are all a little bit of God or, rather, God is in all of us. What we call "God" is ...

Yep, the phrase "Secular Humanism" is seen as bad by some, just as the word "Liberal." They can cause red flags to go up! Thanks for helping me see from...

Mark, You mention below that you haven't heard too much of Conspiracy. Well, IMHO, you aren't missing much. It is nothing like Yes music really, unless you...
