Thank You by Led Zeppelin in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2014-08-30 | USA fans will have to go to my banned channel vzqk50.b. Just google vzqk50b and click on the first link. It will be right there. From Wikipedia:"Thank You" signaled a deeper involvement in songwriting by singer Robert Plant: it was the first Led Zeppelin song for which he wrote all the lyrics. According to various Led Zeppelin biographies, this is also the song that made Jimmy Page realize that Plant could now handle writing the majority of the lyrics for the band's songs. Plant wrote the song as a tribute to his then-wife Maureen.The song features Hammond organ playing by John Paul Jones, which fades into a false ending before concluding with a crescendo roughly ten seconds later. This has created a problem for radio stations wishing to play the track, which must decide whether to accept the dead air or cut it off. Some stations run an edited version with the silence eliminated.For the recording of this track, Page played on a Vox 12-string guitar. It was also one of the few Led Zeppelin songs on which Page sang backing vocals.Lyrics:If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.when mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.Our love is strong, with you there is no wrong,together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.Inspiration's what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.If the mountains should crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.
The Raven by The Alan Parsons Project in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2020-01-10 | From Wikipedia:"The Raven" is a 1975 song by the Alan Parsons Project from their album Tales of Mystery and Imagination, and first song of the band. The song is based on the Edgar Allan Poe poem of the same name; the song was written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson, and was originally recorded in April 1975, at Mama Jo's Studio, North Hollywood, Los Angeles and Abbey Road Studios, London.It was one of the first rock songs to use a vocoder, developed by EMS, to distort vocals. It is also one of the few songs by the band featuring the vocals of Alan Parsons, who sings the first verse through the EMI vocoder. Actor Leonard Whiting performs the lead vocals for the remainder of the song, with Eric Woolfson and a choir as backing vocals.The single appeared on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart peaking at #80 in October 1976. The 1987 reissued version of the song contains a guitar solo near the end, before the "Quoth the Raven"/"Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, never!" refrains and a few licks between the lyrics.In 2004, the choral band Gregorian made a cover of the song for their album The Dark Side.American rapper Danny Brown sampled the song for "Clean Up" on his 2013 album Old.Tales of Mystery and Imagination is the debut album by the progressive rock group The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1976. The album's avant-garde soundscapes kept it from being a blockbuster, but the interesting lyrical and musical themes — retellings of horror stories and poetry by Edgar Allan Poe — attracted a small audience. The title of the album is taken from a popular title for Poe's macabre tales of the same name, Tales of Mystery & Imagination, first published in 1908 and many times since under this name. Critical reaction to the album was often mixed; for example, Rolling Stone's Billy Altman concluded that it mostly failed at reproducing Poe's tension and macabre fear, ending by claiming that "devotees of Gothic literature will have to wait for someone with more of the macabre in their blood for a truer musical reading of Poe's often terrifying works".This album was released in the UK originally with a different name. Simply called The Alan Parsons Project, it was successful enough to achieve gold status but later that year the same album was released under the name of Tales of Mystery and Imagination.Lyrics:The clock struck midnightAnd through my sleepingI heard a tapping at my doorI looked but nothing lay in the darknessAnd so I turned inside once moreTo my amazementThere stood a ravenWhose shadow hung above my doorThen through the silenceIt spoke that one wordthat I shall hear forever moreNevermoreThus quoth the raven, nevermoreAnd still the raven remains in my roomNo matter how much I imploreNo words can soothe himNo prayer remove himAnd I must hear for evermoreQuoth the raven, nevermoreThus quoth the ravenNevermore
It Can Happen by Yes in 4K UHD with HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2019-12-31 | From vzqk50:The last video update for 2019. I hope you enjoy it. For those of you noticing the odd B&W slide with two men in top hats, during the dialogue under the guitar solo, at about 3 minutes and 13 seconds in, it is taken from "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. The lines, "...Come, old boy, you had much better have the thing out at once...." and "...that is exactly what dentists always do. Now, go on! Tell me the whole thing" are spoken by the character Algernon Moncrieff, in the play.From Wikipedia:Following the 1981 breakup of the band, bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White joined with South African guitarist Trevor Rabin to form a new band, called Cinema. An early version of song "It Can Happen", sung by Squire, was written and recorded during this time.Squire, White and Rabin eventually joined forces with former Yes members Jon Anderson, Tony Kaye and Trevor Horn, changing the name of their new band Cinema to "Yes" in the process. Anderson rewrote the lyrics of "It Can Happen" and it was included in 90125, with Anderson singing the verses.The Cinema version of the song was released on 1991's Yesyears box set, and later on the remastered version of 90125. The version sung by Anderson was released as a single in 1984, and was included in several later Yes compilations, including the In a Word: Yes (1969–) box set and The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection.A video for the song is included in the Greatest Video Hits DVD, and a live performance appears in the 9012Live concert video.Lyrics:You can fool yourselfYou can cheat until you're blindYou can cut your heartIt can happenYou can mend the wiresYou can feed the soul apartYou reachIt can happen to youIt can happen to meIt can happen to everyone eventuallyIt's a constant fightA constant fightYou're pushing the needle to the redBlack and whiteWho knows who's rightNo substitute you're born you're deadFly by nightCreated out of fantasyOur destinations callLook up - Look downLook out - Look aroundLook up - Look downThere's a crazy world outsideWe're not about to lose our prideIt can happen to youIt can happen to meIt can happen to everyone eventuallyAs you happen to sayIt can happen todayAs it happensIt happens in every wayThis world I likeWe architects of lifeA song a sighDeveloping words that lingerThrough fields of green through open eyesThis for us to seeLook up - Look downLook out - Look aroundSo look up - Look downThere's a crazy world outsideWe're not about to lose our prideIt can happen to youIt can happen to meIt can happen to everyone eventuallyAs you happen to sayIt can happen todayAs it happensIt happens in every wayAs you happen to seeIt will happen to beNothing happens to nowhere and nowhere(Voice in background)Come, old boy, you had much better have the thing out at once.

Long Distance Runaround The Fish Yessongs Version by Yes in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2019-12-12 | This is the final video in the Yessongs SACD set. I know it took forever, but when it comes to a video intended to educate younger listeners to what they are missing by never having been exposed to the incredible music of Yes and others, nothing is ready until it is done right. Hopefully most of you feel this was done right. Be patient, this is in full 4K, but it may take a day or more to be available in 4K on Youtube.From Wikipedia:"Long Distance Runaround" is a song by the progressive rock group Yes first recorded for their 1971 album, Fragile. Written by lead singer Jon Anderson, the song was released as a B-side to "Roundabout" but became a surprise hit in its own right as a staple of album-oriented rock radio. The song's 3:30 running time was uncharacteristically brief for a group known for expansive songs often longer than ten minutes; though, it and "The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)", into which it segues, may be considered a single opus, of 6:09. Yes co-founder Jon Anderson wrote the lyrics to this song while allegedly remembering his encounters with religious hypocrisy and competition he experienced in attending church regularly as a youth in northern England. "Long time / waiting to feel the sound" was a sentiment toward wanting to see a real, compassionate, non-threatening example of godliness. The bass guitar performs most of the parts of the song. The song starts out with a guitar solo before transitioning into the main 7/4 section. Its only lyrics, the subtitle of the song, appear towards the end of the piece, are repeated several times and fade out with it. In concert, the song is used as an extended bass jam for Chris Squire, and the piece is drastically rearranged. There are only two points in the song that are in 7/4 and are similar to the studio version; the rest is a series of different common time improvisations by Squire with varying beats and backing melodies, often including bass parts from other Yes songs such as "Tempus Fugit", "Sound Chaser" and "On the Silent Wings of Freedom". This solo can last up into the ten-minute range, as can be heard on Yessongs. Live performances of The Fish have sometimes been titled "Whitefish", referring to Alan White & Squire performing the piece as a duet. "Whitefish" can be found on 9012Live: The Solos. Because the song "Long Distance Runaround" directly transitions into "The Fish", the songs are frequently played together on classic rock radio stations. The origin of the song's title has been attributed variously over the years. One story says that Squire was given the nickname by Bill Bruford, who gave it to Squire after he flooded his hotel room in Oslo, Norway while taking a shower. Bruford has also stated that when he and Squire shared a house in Fulham, Squire would spend long periods of time in the bathroom. Furthermore, his astrological sign is Pisces (Fish). It may also be a reference to the bass (fish), whose name is homonymous with the bass guitar. Subsequently, Squire made reference to his nickname by titling a solo album Fish Out of Water. Schindleria praematura is the Latin scientific name for a marine fish known as the infantfish or Schindleria. Lyrics: Long distance runaroundLong time waiting to feel the sound I still remember the dream there I still remember the time you said goodbye Did we really tell lies Letting in the sunshine Did we really count to one hundred Cold summer listening Hot colour melting the anger to stone I still remember the dream there I still remember the time you said goodbye Did we really tell lies Letting in the sunshine Did we really count to one hundred
Machine Messiah by Yes in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2019-12-01 | From Wikipedia:The album opens with the ten-minute "Machine Messiah" which, according to Horn, was written in one day. It features some guitar riffs from Howe that reporter and critic Chris Welch described as "unexpectedly heavy metal". White called the song his "baby", putting together much of its structure and rhythm. Squire found some of its passages difficult to play on his bass and thought it was more suited for keyboards, but was encouraged by White to master his parts. Downes rates the track highly, citing its various sections and mood changes. When he was composing his keyboard parts for the song, Downes included an arpeggiated segment from the Toccata fifth movement of Symphony for Organ No. 5 by Charles-Marie Widor, a piece that he was familiar with from his youth.Lyrics:Run down a streetWhere the glass showsThat summer has goneAge, in the doorwaysResenting the pace of the dawn.All of them standing in lineAll of them waiting for time.From time, the great healer,The machine-MessiahIs born.Cables that carry the lifeTo the cities we buildThreads that link diamonds of lifeTo the satanic millsAh, to see in every wayThat we feel it everyDay, and know thatMaybe we'll changeOffered the chanceTo finally unlearn our lessonsAnd alter our stance.Part IIFriends make their way into systems of chance(reply- friends make their way of escape into systems of chance)Escape to freedom I need to be thereWaiting and watching, the tables are turningI'm waiting and watchingI need to be there.I care to see them walk awayAnd, to be there when they sayThey will return.Machine, Machine MessiahThe mindlessSearch for a higherControllerTake me to the fireAnd hold meShow me the strength of yourSingular eye.Part IIIHistory dictating symptoms of ruling romanceClaws at the shores of the water upon which we danceAll of us standing in lineAll of us waiting for timeTo feel it, all the wayAnd to be there when theySay they know thatMaybe we'll changeOffered the chanceTo finally unlearn our lessonsAnd alter our stance.Machine, machine Messiah.Take me into the fireHold me, machine MessiahAnd show meThe strength of your singular eye.
Release Release by Yes in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2019-03-11 | From Wikipedia:"Release, Release" is a song by the progressive rock group Yes. It was released on the group's 1978 album, Tormato.Of all the songs of the album, "Release, Release" is the one that has been performed live the fewest number of times. The song was only done live on six shows of the group's 1978 tour of the United States.According to drummer Alan White, the song was dropped from the setlist because it needed so much energy to be performed that the whole band was exhausted after performing it.Lyrics:Have you heard before, hit it out, don't look backRock is the medium of our generationStand for every right, kick it out, hear you shoutFor the right of all of creationWe've heard before, but we just don't seem to moveThe pressure's on is there lack of concentrationPower defy our needs, lift us up, show us nowShow us how amid the rack of confusionDrive in thoughts of high, satisfy, in a planSet it out for all to understand itWe've heard before, but we just don't seem to moveThe pressure's on is there lack of concentrationLost and wondering, maybe, how it isSeems to me, it's as simple as thisNo matter, where you go, you're going to findYou won't see me in front, but you can't leave me behindPower at first to the needs of each others daysSimple to lose in the void sounds of anarchy's calling waysAll unaccounted for in the craziness of powerIn the crazinessRelease all, release all, or abandon your hope for your brotherRelease all, release all, or abandon your hope for your sisterRelease, release, enough controllersShow some signs of appreciated loyaltiesRelease, release, enough controllersShow some signs of appreciated loyalties...

Starship Trooper Yessongs Version by Yes in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2019-02-03 | From Wikipedia:Yessongs is the first live album by the English rock band Yes, released as a triple album in May 1973 on Atlantic Records. After completing their Close to the Edge Tour in April 1973, the band selected live recordings between February and December 1972 on their tours supporting Fragile (1971) and Close to the Edge (1972) for a live album release. They were then edited and remixed with their producer and live sound mixer Eddie Offord. Three tracks feature original Yes drummer Bill Bruford while the remaining tracks feature his replacement, Alan White.In September 1971, the Yes line-up of singer Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Bill Bruford, guitarist Steve Howe, and newcomer keyboardist Rick Wakeman embarked on their Fragile Tour in support of the band's fourth studio album, Fragile (1971). The tour saw the band play across the United Kingdom, the United States, and Europe until March 1972. Following the recording of their fifth studio album, Close to the Edge (1972), the band resumed as a live act on 30 July 1972 to support the album. The tour saw the debut of drummer Alan White in the band after Bruford left when recording for the album had finished. His departure came eleven days prior to the tour's start, leaving White to learn the band's repertoire in three days. The tour ended in April 1973, by which time Yes had made additional live recordings. Recording location:15 December 1972 at the Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park, London According to Alice Cooper on his radio show Nights with Alice Cooper, Anderson claimed to have written the first two movements of "Starship Trooper" alone, though the "Disillusion" movement (which evolved from an earlier song "For Everyone", heard on Something's Coming: The BBC Recordings 1969–1970 and The Word Is Live) is credited to Chris Squire.The Würm part of "Starship Trooper" is a continuous cadenza of chords (G-Eb-C) played by ensemble and repeated adlib: first accompaniment: electric guitar on the right stereo channel, then acoustic guitar, bass pedals, and drums from middle channel, then organ and bass guitar with tremolo and distortion from left channel, then starts the guitar solo, that swaps from side to side. The whole piece lasts about three and a half minutes. "Würm" originally evolved from a song called "Nether Street" by Howe's earlier group, Bodast. While "Wurm" (without the umlaut over the "u") is an Old English word for "dragon" (worm, wurm, wyrm), the Würm is a river in Germany which gave its name to an ice age in geology.Lyrics:Sister bluebird flying high aboveShine your wings forward to the sunHide the myst'ries of life on your wayThough you've seen them, please don't say a wordWhat you don't know, I have never heardStarship trooper, go sailing on byCatch my soul, catch the very lightHide the moment from my eager eyeThough you've seen them, please don't tell a soulWhat you can't see, can't be very wholeSpeak to me of summerLong winters longer than time can rememberThe setting up of other roadsTo travel on in old accustomed waysI still remember the talks by the waterThe proud sons and daughterThat knew the knowledge of the landSpoke to me in sweet accustomed waysMother life, hold firmly on to meCatch my knowledge higher than the dayLose as much as only you can showThough you've seen me, please don't say a wordWhat I don't know, I have never sharedLoneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away foreverAll I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before youTake what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusionAs I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may followSpeak to me of summerLong winters longer than time can rememberThe setting up of other roadsTo travel on in old accustomed waysI still remember the talks by the waterThe proud sons and daughterThat knew the knowledge of the landSpoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Parallels - Yesshows Version by Yes in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2019-01-30 | From Wikipedia:Yesshows is the second live album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released in November 1980 on Atlantic Records. The album is compiled of recordings from their 1976, 1977, and 1978 tours from dates in North America and Europe with its mixing supervised by bassist Chris Squire. "Parallels" was part of a collection of songs that Squire had written for his solo album Fish Out of Water (1975), but were left out due to the limited capacity of a vinyl record. He also felt the song did not fit with the style of the other tracks on his album. When it came to selecting songs for Going for the One, Squire suggested the song for the group to record, which was received well by the other members. In its rough form, the song contained no guitar riffs. Its lyrics address the idea of hope, a usual theme that Squire incorporates into his lyricsFrom Somethingelsereviews.com:Though Yes’ “Parallels” was a Chris Squire composition originally slated for his solo release Fish Out of Water, it hardly seems like an after thought.The song quickly gains steam as it is propelled by Squire’s aggressive Fender bass, which is then quickly countered by Steve Howe’s clean electric guitar. Rick Wakeman provides a church-organ sound, which anchors “Parallels” sonicly. Squire, an often-overlooked contributor to Yes’ lyrics, provided an uplifting and thematic proper setting to join Jon Anderson on vocals. “Parallels” states the obvious about Yes in that some of the best vocals the band recorded are when Anderson and Squire sing a song as a duet. Squire’s choir-inspired harmonies often leave this aspect of his vocal contribution overlooked.Despite the fact that “Parallels” is a solo contribution, there is no doubt this is a Yes song, with Steve Howe’s rollicking guitar break and a rock-drum break from Alan White that moves perfectly into Rick Wakeman’s brief Moog synthesizer solo. “Parallels” has made intermittent appearances on Yes’ set list following its release on Going For the OneLyrics:When you've tried most everything and nothing's taking you higherWhen you've come to realize, you've been playing with fireHear me when I say to you, it's really down to your heartIt's the beginning of a new love in sightYou've got the way to make it all happenSet it spinning turning roundaboutCreate a new dimensionWhen we are winning we can stop and shoutMaking love towards perfectionI've been all around the world and seen so many facesYoung and old a story told, filling in my spacesNow without a trace of doubt, I feel it every hourIt's the beginning of a new love insideCould be an ever opening flowerNo hesitation when we're all aboutTo build a shining towerNo explanations, need to work it outYou know we've got the powerParallel our sightsAnd we will find, that we, we need, to be, where we, belongParallel our heightsDisplay our rights and wrongs, and always, keep it STRONGIt's the beginning of a new love in sightCould be an ever opening flowerNo explanations, need to work it outYou know we've got the powerIt's the beginning of a new love insideYou've got the way to make it all happenSet it spinning turning roundaboutCreate a new dimensionWhen we are winning we can stop and shoutMaking love towards perfection
Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon) by The Moody Blues in 4K UHD SACD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2019-01-06 | From Wikipedia:The first part, the one most familiar to listeners, called "Tuesday Afternoon", was originally released on The Moody Blues 1967 album Days of Future Passed, a concept album chronicling a typical day. On the album, it was part one of "The Afternoon" track titled "Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)".Justin Hayward wrote the song originally intending to name it "Tuesday Afternoon". At the insistence of producer Tony Clarke, it was named "Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)" for its release on Days of Future Passed. However, when it was released as a single a year later, its name was changed back to "Tuesday Afternoon", and it has been more commonly known by this name ever since. Some of the Moody Blues compilation and live albums list the song as "Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon)" to reflect both titles."Tuesday Afternoon" was released as a single in 1968, and was the second single from Days of Future Passed (the first being "Nights in White Satin"). It was backed with another Days track, "Another Morning". The single version of "Tuesday Afternoon" was oddly edited down to 2:16, ending before the repeat of the opening riff and "Tuesday afternoon" verse.According to an interview with Justin Hayward, he wrote "Tuesday Afternoon" while sitting in the middle of a field near his home in England on a beautiful spring afternoon. He claims that he had his acoustic guitar in hand and the song just came to him. The song features Justin Hayward on lead vocals and acoustic guitar. The backing melody comes from the mellotron, which was played by Mike Pinder. There is also a short flute solo at the end played by Ray Thomas.On Days of Future Passed, the London Festival Orchestra performs the final orchestral rendition of the chorus. This orchestral link between parts one and two of the song was recorded separately from the Moodys' portions. The link was arranged by Peter Knight, who arranged orchestral sections for the entire album. However, for the single release and subsequent releases on compilation albums, this orchestral finale was not included, and the song simply faded out during Ray Thomas's flute solo. The Moody Blues 1994 compilation album, Time Traveller, marked the first time the orchestral link was included on a compilation. Its release on 1998's Anthology also included the first-portion orchestral finale.In concert, "Tuesday Afternoon" is usually ended with a short reprise of the opening acoustic guitar riff after the flute solo. Although, when the Moody Blues perform backed by a live orchestra, the original orchestral link ends the song.Lyrics:Tuesday afternoon,I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my wayIt doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.Something, calls to me,The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty ofTuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.Tuesday, afternoon,I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.Something, calls to me,The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.Evening has come to passThe time of day doesn't lastEvening, has earned its place todayI'm tired of working awayWorking, living it bringsOnly way to have those thingsToiling has bought too many tearsTurn 'round all those past yearsEvening time to get awayEvening time to get awayEvening time to get away'Til next dayLive all you peopleYou can't see where you're atIt doesn't really hurt youSo that can't be badLive all you peopleYou can't see where you're atIt doesn't really hurt youSo that can't be badEvening time to get awayEvening time to get away

Roundabout Yessongs Version by Yes in 4K UHD SACD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2018-12-09 | From Wikipedia:The song originated in March 1971 when the band were on tour promoting The Yes Album (1971), travelling from Aberdeen to Glasgow after a gig in Aviemore, Scotland.They encountered many roundabouts on the way; Anderson claimed "maybe 40 or so", which inspired Anderson and Howe to write a song about the journey as they sat in the back of the band's transit van, and include the roundabouts and the surrounding mountains into the lyrics. Anderson had smoked marijuana during the trip, "so everything was vivid and mystical". Anderson added: "It was a cloudy day, we couldn't see the top of the mountains. We could only see the clouds because it was sheer straight up ... I remember saying, "Oh, the mountains–look! They're coming out of the sky!",and began to write the song's lyrics in his notebook in a free-form style with minimal edits. "I just loved how words sounded when I put them together". Within 24 hours, the band had arrived back home in London where Anderson reunited with his then wife Jennifer, which inspired the song's lyric "Twenty-four before my love, you'll see, I'll be there with you". A lake they passed as they neared Glasgow became the idea behind the line "In and around the lake". Upon their arrival at their hotel in Glasgow, Anderson and Howe began to put down song ideas on their recorder.Lyrics:I'll be the round aboutThe words will make you out 'n' outI spend the day your wayCall it morning driving thru the sound andIn and out the valleyThe music dance and singThey make the children really ringI spend the day your wayCall it morning driving thru the sound andIn and out the valleyIn and around the lakeMountains come out of the sky and they Stand thereOne mile over we'll be there and we'll see YouTen true summers we'll be there and Laughing tooTwenty four before my love you'll see I'll be There with youI will remember youYour silhouette will charge the viewOf distance atmosphereCall it morning driving thru the sound andEven in the valleyIn and around the lakeMountains come out of the sky and they Stand thereOne mile over we'll be there and we'll see YouTen true summers we'll be there and Laughing tooTwenty four before my love you'll see I'll be There with youAlong the drifting cloud the eagle searchingDown on the landCatching the swirling wind the sailor seesThe rim of the landThe eagle's dancing wings create as weatherSpins out of handGo closer hold the land feel partly no moreThan grains of sandWe stand to lose all time a thousand answersBy in our handNext to your deeper fears we standSurrounded by a million yearsI'll be the roundaboutThe words will make you out 'n' outI'll be the roundaboutThe words will make you out 'n' outIn and around the lakeMountains come out of the sky and they Stand thereTwenty four before my love and I'll be ThereI'll be the roundaboutThe words will make you out 'n' outI spend the day your wayCall it morning driving thru the sound andIn and out the valleyIn and around the lakeMountains come out of the sky and they Stand thereOne mile over we'll be there and we'll see YouTen true summers we'll be there and Laughing tooTwenty four before my love you'll see I'll be There with you

Heart of the Sunrise Yessongs Version by Yes in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2018-11-22 | From Wikipedia:"Heart of the Sunrise" is a progressive rock song by British band Yes. It is the closing track on their fourth album, 1971's Fragile. The compositional credits go to Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, and Chris Squire, though keyboardist Rick Wakeman contributed some uncredited sections.The song eventually rose to become the band's fourth most-played song. However, it was played approximately three hundred times less than "I've Seen All Good People" and received little if any airplay. It was popular enough, however, to appear on Yessongs, Classic Yes, In a Word: Yes (1969 - ), and many other studio and live retrospectives. It was named the ninth greatest drum performance by digitaldreamdoor.com."According to Anderson, the song is about being lost in the city. This was explained on many tours. On the Big Generator tour, Anderson says that the song is about the power and energy of the sunrise. In 1978, however, he said the song was about the power of love. Sometimes, he makes other comments. For example, on the October 16, 1971 show, Anderson states that the organ in the song is inaudible and will be performed without it. He further notes that the organ is "one of the best jokes in the business."The song begins with a churning, bass-heavy riff that alternates between 6/8 and 3/4 time (in the same way as "America" from Leonard Bernstein's score for the musical West Side Story). After one full sequence, it merges into a new, slightly funky section in 4/4 that lasts for a minute and a half. It afterwards breaks back into three full cycles of the main riff.At around 3:25, after the final cycle, the song switches to a much softer style, where Jon Anderson begins singing. This section starts in 6/8 but includes many individual sequences, including a quirky 5/8 riff that appears in various speeds and arrangements. The song gradually builds in intensity, eventually including the main riff interspersed with the other sections. A brief classical snippet of Rick Wakeman's is used as well in both classical and rock arrangements.The song itself ends very abruptly around 10:35, but a reprise of "We Have Heaven" from earlier on the album is included as a hidden track, extending it to 11:27 (11:32 on the 2003 release). Some vinyl pressings ended without this reprise. At either length, it is the longest song on the album.Rick Wakeman contributed to the writing of "Heart Of The Sunrise" (and fellow album piece "South Side Of The Sky") by adding piano interludes to both songs, but wasn't credited because of contractual conflicts. He was instead promised more money by Atlantic studio executives, which he claims he never saw.Lyrics:Love comes to you and you followLose one on to the Heart of the SunriseSHARP-DISTANCEHow can the wind with its arms all around meLost on a wave and then afterDream on on to the Heart of the SunriseSHARP-DISANCEHow can the wind with so many around meLost in the cityLost in their eyes as you hurry byCounting the broken ties they decideLove comes to you and then afterDream on on to the Heart of the SunriseLost on a wave that you're dreamingDream on on to the Heart of the SunriseSHARP-DISTANCEHow can the wind with its arms all around meSHARP-DISTANCEHow can the wind with so many around meI feel lost in the cityLost in their eyes as you hurry byCounting the broken ties they decidedStraight light moving and removingSHARPNESS of the colour sun shineStraight light searching all the meanings of the songLong last treatment of the telling thatRelates to all the words sungDreamer easy in the chair that really fits youLove comes to you and then afterDream on on to the Heart of the SunriseSHARP-DISTANCEHow can the sun with its arms all around meSHARP-DISTANCEHow can the wind with so many around meI feel lost in the city
From the Beginning by ELP in 4K UHD HQ Audio vzqk50HD 2018-11-18 | Update to UHD 4K by request.From Wikipedia:From the Beginning is a song written by Greg Lake and performed by the progressive rock trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was released on their 1972 album Trilogy. It is driven by an acoustic guitar line with layers of electric guitar (both rhythm and lead), electric bass guitar, and sung by Lake, with some backing on drums (played by Carl Palmer with tympani mallets and without cymbals), and with a distinctive closing synthesizer solo from Keith Emerson, accompanied by overdubbed random synthesizer-generated effects. It hit #39 in the US and was their highest charting single.Lyrics:There might have been things I missedBut don't be unkindIt don't mean I'm blindPerhaps there's a thing or twoI think of lying in bedI shouldn't have saidBut there it isYou see it's all clearYou were meant to be hereFrom the beginningMaybe I might have changedAnd not been so cruelNot been such a foolWhatever was done is doneI just can't recallIt doesn't matter at allYou see it's all clearYou were meant to be hereFrom the beginning

All Good People Your Move Yessongs Version by Yes in 4K UHD SACD vzqk50HD 2018-02-09 | From Wikipedia:The first part of the song, "Your Move", uses various allusions to the game of chess — such as the phrases "move me onto any black square", "make the white queen run so fast", and "the goal is for us all to capture all we want". It can be attributed to Lewis Carrol's "Through The Looking Glass". In looking glass land if you want to be "satisfied" and "on your way". You must walk backwards on life's chessboard to move ahead "don't surround yourself with yourself" ie. Live worry free and "give peace a chance". This is opposite of what we were taught: Fight with might and force to get ahead. At the final part of "Your Move" the chorus of John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance can be heard in the background.In the studio recording on The Yes Album, the song opens with Jon Anderson singing the sentence "I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way" twice a cappella, in three-part harmony. This is followed by a solo intro by Steve Howe on a 12-string laúd. As the laúd begins a repeated four-bar phrase, it is joined by bass drum as Anderson resumes singing the lyrics, solo and in three-part harmony. Dual recorders enter on the third verse. Finally, a Hammond organ joins them, playing the same chords as the laúd until the first part of the song ends on a loudly sustained and unresolved organ chord.The second part, "All Good People", consists of many repetitions of the sentence "I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way" sung to the same melody as before, but over a driving rock accompaniment, ending in a powerful vocal harmony and organ phrase which begins on a chord progression of E, D, C, G, then A. Each repetition of the verse is one whole step lower than the previous as the song fades out.Just before the three minute mark of the song the chorus to John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance is heard panned hard to the left channel and very low in the mix. The song also references Lennon's "Instant Karma!", in the lyrics "Send an instant karma to me - Initial it with loving care."Lyrics:[I Your Move]I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my wayI've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my wayTake a straight and stronger course to the corner of your lifeMake the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you a wife'Cause it's time is time in time with your time andits news is captured...for the queen to use!Move me on to any black squareUse me anytime you wantJust remember that the goalIs for us all to capture all we want(Move me on to any black square)Don't surround yourself with yourselfMove on back two squaresSend an instant karma to meInitial it with loving care(Don't surround yourself)'Cause it's time is time in time with your time andits news is captured...for the queen to use!Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddaDiddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda(Don't surround yourself with yourself)Don't surround yourself with yourself(Don't surround yourself)Move on back two squaresSend an instant karma to me(Send an instant karma to me)Initial it with loving care(Don't surround yourself)'Cause it's time is time in time with your time andits news is captured...for the queen to use!Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (Is give peace a chance)Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (Is give peace a chance'Cause it's time is time in time with your time andits news is captured...[II All Good People]I've seen all good people turn their heads each daySo satisfied I'm on my wayI've seen all good people turn their heads each daySo satisfied I'm on my way...
Opening / Siberian Khatru Yessongs Version by Yes in 4K UHD SACD vzqk50HD 2018-02-05 | From Wikipedia:"Siberian Khatru" is the third, shortest and final song of progressive rock band Yes album Close to the Edge. Live versions of the song are found on the Yessongs, Keys to Ascension, and Live at Montreux 2003 albums, and it also is on several compilation albums. It is notable for being the only song on Close to the Edge that is not a multi-part suite. However, Siberian Khatru contains several separate melodies, tones, and sections in the tradition of progressive rock. The live version on the 2-disc album set Yessongs is preceded by Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is an acknowledged influence on the song itself, thus the introduction.Siberian Khatru begins with an introductory guitar riff, after which the main instrumental theme (played by the keyboards) is introduced. The structure of this theme is a four-measure phrase consisting of three bars in common time (4/4) and the last bar in 3/4. This theme is repeated until the verse section begins. The lyrics start at about 1:05. The song progresses through various sections, featuring solos by Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman. There is a polymetric section featuring the guitar, playing in a meter of 12, and bass and drums playing in a meter of 8. Jon Anderson begins singing seemingly random two-syllable words and phrases, which then becomes a Yes tradition. The conclusion is similar to the introduction, returning to the main instrumental theme with a guitar solo on top of it.Lyrics:Sing, bird of preyBeauty begins at the foot of you, do you believe the manner?Gold stainless nailTorn through the distance of man as they regard the summitEven Siberia goes through the motions, hold out and hold upHold down the window (outbound, river)Hold out the morning that comes into view (bluetail, tailfly)River running right on over my headHow does she sing?Who holds the ring and ring and you will find me coming?Cold reigning kingHold all the secrets from you as they produce the movementEven Siberia goes through the motions, hold out and hold upHold down the window (outbound, river)Hold out the morning that comes into view (bluetail, tailfly)River running right over the outboard, riverBluetail, tailflyLuther in timeDood'ndoodit, dah, d't-d't-dahHold down the windowHold out the morning that comes into viewWarm side, the towerGreen leaves reveal the heart spoken KhatruGold stainless nailTorn through the distance of man as they regard the summitCold reigning kingShelter the women that sing as they produce the movementRiver running right on overThen over my head outboard, riverBluetail, tailflyLuther in timeSuntower askingCover, loverJune cast, moon fastAs one changesHeart gold, leaverSoul mark, moverChristian, changerCalled out, saviorMoon gate, climberTurn round, glider

Walls by Yes in 4K UHD vzqk50HD 2017-12-21 | From Wikipedia:"Walls" is a song by the progressive rock band Yes, from their 1994 album Talk. It was a rock radio hit for the band, reaching number 24 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.An earlier single, "Saving My Heart" from 1991's Union, was originally intended as a collaboration between Yes guitarist Trevor Rabin and former Supertramp vocalist and songwriter Roger Hodgson. Although that track was eventually recorded and released as a Yes song without Hodgson's involvement, "Walls", another Rabin–Hodgson collaboration, was included on Talk, with additional songwriting credits by Yes vocalist Jon Anderson."Walls" reached number 24 on the Mainstream Rock chart in 1994.Rabin later included a pre-Yes version of the song on his album of demo recordings, 2003's 90124, where it is titled "Walls Demo 1990".Lyrics:Don't you know it's my way outTo be on my ownWhen I feel like crying out I do it best aloneCan you give me love andProtection to shield my heartAll the fear I feel from doubtIs tearing me apartI wanna love, I wanna giveI want to find another way to liveAnother shout, another cryAnd the walls come tumbling downDon't you know there's now way outYour pain's your ownAnd the more we scream and shoutThe more we feel aloneI can feel my anger risingAm I to blame?And I'm not gonna keep it inside meDo you feel the same?I wanna love, I wanna giveI want to find another way to liveAnother shout, another cryAnd the walls come tumbling downAnd I'm calling... you.......Let me go!And I'm calling...I wanna love, I wanna giveI want to find another way to liveAnother shout, another cryAnd the walls come tumbling downI wanna love, I wanna giveI want to find another way to liveAnother shout, another cryAnd the walls come tumbling downI wanna love, I wanna giveI want to find another way to liveAnother shout, another cryAnd the walls come tumbling downohhh this indecision, can it break me down, let it run to the river, tell meohhh this indecision can it break me down, let me run to the river, let meWoh!Ow!I wanna live!Oh!

It was released in March 1978 by Charisma Records and is their first recorded as a trio of singer and drummer Phil Collins, keyboardist Tony Banks, and bassist and guitarist Mike Rutherford following the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett. The album marked a change in the band's sound, mixing elements of their progressive rock roots with more pop-oriented and commercially accessible music, and Collins contributing to more of the group's song writing.The band had originally planned to develop and arrange Banks's song "Undertow" further, but its basic track of guitar, drums and piano, coupled with its simple chorus, was strong enough to keep as it was. Banks plays a Yamaha electric grand piano on the track which also incorporates voice loops made by the band that were kept "low-key and subtle" in the final mixLyrics:The curtains are drawnNow the fire warms the room.Meanwhile outsideWind from the north-east chills the air,It will soon be snowing out there.And some there areCold, they prepare for a sleepless night.Maybe this will be their last fight.But we're safe in each other's embrace,All fears go out as I look on your face -Better think awhileOr I may never think again.If this were the last day of your life, my friend,Tell me, what do you think you would do then?Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,Make the most of all you still have coming to you, [or]Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your kneesLet me live again, let life come find me wanting.Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again.Laughter, music and perfume linger hereAnd there, and there,Wine flows from flask to glass and mouth,As it soothes, confusing our doubts.And soon we feel,Why do a single thing to-day,There's tomorrow sure as I'm here.So the days they turn into yearsAnd still no tomorrow appears.Better think awhileOr I may never think again.If this were the last day of your life, my friend,Tell me, what do you think you would do then?Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,Make the most of all you still have coming to you, [or]Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your kneesLet me live again, let life come find me wanting.Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again.
The Calling by Yes in 4K UHD vzqk50HD 2017-06-24 | From Wikipedia:In 1992, eight current and former members of Yes toured to support their 1991 album Union. Following the completion of the tour, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Rick Wakeman and drummer Bill Bruford left the band, leaving the five members who had performed as Yes during the 1980s: singer Jon Anderson, guitarist Trevor Rabin, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White and keyboardist Tony Kaye."The Calling" was written by Rabin, Anderson and Squire, with Rabin producing. As with the other tracks on Talk, "The Calling" was recorded and mixed digitally, rather than on tape as was done with previous Yes recordings. The song has been described as featuring a modern sound, with heavy focus on Rabin's guitars, and a three-part vocal harmony featuring Anderson, Rabin and Squire.According to Anderson, the song's lyrics were inspired by the concept of "local history", the current three-thousand year window of history, outside of which mankind has little visibility or understanding.Chart performance"The Calling" was a number-three Mainstream Rock hit for the band in 1994, their last (as of 2010) top-ten hit on that chart. Yes had two subsequent Mainstream Rock hits: 1994's "Walls" (also from Talk) and 1997's "Open Your Eyes" from the album of the same name.Lyrics:Feel the calling of a miracleIn the presence of the wordNow we hold the right to rearrangeHow the stories can be heardIn the beginning is the futureAnd the future is at handI'll be calling voices of AfricaBe the rhythm to the planFrom the Congo to LenasiaBe the writing on the wallI'll be calling the colors of IndiaSee the Asian life explodeHead into the headlightDon't turn from the rainThere's a fire raging somewhere nearLike a longtime friend who'sSeen it darker than ebonyTake off on the turnpike(Asking for the first call)Give me more of the same(Asking for a song)There's a fire burning in my heart againI'll be calling the dragons of ChinaSee the dancers of the NileSee the wings of change are on displayThis revelation mineFeel the calling of the miracleIn the presence of the wordHead into the headlightDon't turn from the rainThere's a fire raging somewhere nearLike a longtime friend who'sSeen it darker than ebonyTake off on the turnpike(Asking for the first call)Give me more of the same(Asking for a song)There's a fire burning in my heart againFeel the calling of a miracleThe revelation mineHead into the headlightDon't turn from the rainThere's a fire raging somewhere nearLike a longtime friend who'sSeen it darker than ebonyTake off on the turnpike(Asking for the first call)Give me more of the same(Asking for a song)There's a fire burning in my heart againFeel the calling of a miracleIn the presence of the wordNow we hold the right to rearrangeHow the stories can be heard
Leaves of Green by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-12-03 | From Yesfans.com:It is a beautiful little gem nestled quietly in "The Ancient" with just Jon singing and Steve playing his acoustic wonderfully. Take your time with "The Ancient" and you'll spot it when you hear Steve alone on his acoustic, then Jon's 1st words singing"Do the leaves of green stay greener in the Autumn?"if you like YES's quiet sensitive parts - this should float your boat.By the way, take your time with the whole TFTO album. It grows on you until you can't get it off of your mind.Enjoy - Michelle For my part, let me say that this "cut" is from the remastered CD in FLAC prior to video compiling. I know the "cut" is not perfect. I welcome any "perfect cuts" to improve this, but for now this is the best I have. I am sure there will be debate over the last few seconds I removed, and whether it belongs here. I chose this cut, isolating 'Leaves of Green" from the rest of "The Ritual". I do hope you enjoy it! Lyrics:Do the leaves of green stay greener through the autumnDoes the colour of the sun turn crimson whiteDoes a a shadow come between us in the winterIs the movement really lightAnd I heard a million voices singingActing to the story that they had heard aboutDoes one child know the secret and can say itOr does it all come out along without youAlong without youAlong without youWhere does reason stop and killing just take overDoes a lamb cry out before we shoot it deadAre there many more in comfort understandingIs the movement in the headAnd I heard a million voices singingActing to the story that they had heard aboutDoes one child know the secret and can say itOr does it all come out along without youAlong without youAlong without you
The More We Live – Let Go by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-11-07 | From Wikipedia:Union is the thirteenth studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 30 April 1991 by Arista Records. Production began in 1990 following the amalgamation of two bands featuring current and previous members of Yes at the time: Yes, formed of Chris Squire, Trevor Rabin, Tony Kaye, and Alan White; and Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (ABWH), formed of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Bill Bruford. The album is a collection of tracks written by each group separately; the eight members do not all play together. Production was met with differences from the beginning, including the merger of ABWH and Yes, the group's internal relations, and Anderson and producer Jonathan Elias's decision to have session musicians play parts already put down by Wakeman and Howe.The album received mixed reviews from critics. Chuck Eddy gave it two stars out of five for Rolling Stone, calling it "an eclectic miscarriage that almost isn't even worth laughing about", and wished the album had more memorable hooks, riffs, and concise lyrics. In a review for The Washington Post, Gil Grifin noted that "musically and conceptually", the band are "reaching for its glorious past" which resulted in an album not entirely appealing. Though "Lift Me Up", "The More We Live – Let Go" and "Saving My Heart" are picked as more favourable tracks, Grifin concludes with "the aloofness of 'Union' is often sleep-inducing". Most of the band have negative opinions on the album. Rabin thought the album lacked a linking thread and ranked 90125 and Big Generator as better albums. Wakeman stated he was dissatisfied with the production, commenting that most of his contributions were so altered in the final result that he himself could not recognise them, adding that he used to call it "Onion" because "it made me cry every time I heard it". Bruford remains very critical of the record, stating "It was probably not only the most dishonest title that I've ever had the privilege of playing drums underneath, but the single worst album I've ever recorded".Union is among the worst rated Yes albums in music rating sites such as Rate Your Music and ProgArchives, only behind Heaven & Earth and Open Your Eyes. The music portal Ultimate Classic Rock ranked Union last in its list of best Yes albums.Lyrics:You and I can change the world;The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know.From this moment on we share the world;The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow.The spirit of imagination can lead us through the dark;The more we see, the more we try, the more we show.The evidence of our confusion, life has left its mark;The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide.As we walk into tomorrow (Turning away from the path we know)Holding the future with our hands (We carry the weight of the world we go)It's up to you and I (We hold the key; we hold the answer)All our thoughts of doubt and fear (We leave it all by one)The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know.For each of us the road is clear and life has just begun;The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow.It's time to reach the goals we've set for ourselves;The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide.All we need is just to believe in ourselves;We face the truth, we see it clear, with no disguise.Cast away our doubt and sorrow (Turning away from the past we know)The Universe and all can be (Showing the fate of the world we know)Together you and I, we hold the key to all the answers (Let go)

State of Play by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-10-28 | From Wikipedia:Following the mammoth tour for Union in 1991, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman left the eight-member band. Wakeman was originally going to be part of the lineup, but conflicts with management kept this from happening. Remaining was the 1983-88 line-up of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Trevor Rabin, Tony Kaye and Alan White.With Rabin taking the lead - even producing the project himself, he attempted to re-introduce Yes to the 1990s with a lean, guitar-oriented sound. In taking such a strong role, he ensured he had a hand in writing every song, even overdubbing some of Chris Squire's bass parts (to Squire's minor annoyance).Roger Hodgson, formerly of fellow progressive rock band Supertramp, wrote "Walls" with Rabin, having been asked to replace Anderson when the latter formed Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. He declined, and Anderson modified the lyrics to "Walls" upon returning to Yes. A demo of this song was recorded in 1990 and included on the Trevor Rabin demo album 90124.In a 1993 interview, White mentioned a song called "Scarlet From The Tide". It is unknown whether this song became part of a track on the album or if it wasn't added at all.Pop artist Peter Max created the artwork for Talk. In a 1993 interview, Alan White joked that the album would be called Crunching Numbers. Another working title was History of the Future.After the album's release, guitarist Billy Sherwood toured with the band. Trevor Rabin and Tony Kaye left the band in 1995, twelve years after teaming up with Jon Anderson, Chris Squire and Alan White. Sherwood would become an official member of Yes in 1997 after Rick Wakeman had re-joined and departed the band in the interim.Lyrics:You can hear the siren screaming,Take me to the promised land;See the interventionTake you higher and higher.See we are the giving world,We are responsible,We're not about to break-It's just a state of playIt's just a state of playThis is the revolution,Coming with the giving worldNo need to wait for yourAppointment is made.No need to ask for help,It's in the love we breatheDancing in the new designIt's just a state of playIt's just a state of playSecret needing,From this love I'm feedingHigh time flying,From your love I'm feedingHigh time flying,Monumental reaching to god loveSecret needing,All I really want to know right now...The state of playAre you looking at itIs it looking at you.It's just a state of playIt's just a state of playNo point in kidding,Let the children split the atom-A firm believer thisAppointment with love.All those who look for glory,They see the flags are flying,They hear the sirn screaming-It's just a state of playIt's just a state of playSecret needing,From this love I'm feedingHigh time, flying,All I really want to know,Right now, right now...(I want to be inside your heart)I want to know right now,Is this the state of play.Are you looking at it.
Top of the World (The Glass Bead Game) by Jon Anderson in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-10-15 | From Wikipedia:In the City of Angels is a solo album by Jon Anderson of progressive rock band Yes.This album unlike most of Anderson's works in that he invited outside songwriters to write for him, rather than creating an album wholly of his own material. Consequently this is the most straight-ahead commercial pop album in his oeuvre, and sounds rather closer to a Toto album than his own earlier work -- in fact, that band performs on several songs. Jon reciprocated the favor by performing on their album The Seventh One (recorded about the same time as In the City of Angels).Two songs from the album ("Hold on to Love" and "In a Lifetime") were co-written by Lamont Dozier, of Motown records.A music video for "Hold on to Love" aired on TV. In the video, the album is titled In The City of Lost Angels. Chris Squire has a cameo appearance in the video.Lyrics:Ah, see we both singGet alongSome of us set this treatyBecause I knowSet it to really purifySee the more the reasoningAs the stars they sit at nightWe can never really guessUnless we ask like a missionAnd it touches youLike a measure doIt's a real lifeAnd it gets us bySome Gemini told us of a reasonWe had something of a catapult forceI'm steering out another visionTop, very topTop, very topTop of the world we'll see what it's likeClearer----- * -----Just around the corner we heard itJust around the boat should be thereIt came alive so by the fireFor the very first time so heavyFirst energy reach first visionFirst energy caught in the lightFirst energy bringing the nightI'm a river, I love youNightI'm a river, I love you----- * -----WatchingLike a tiger mysticLike a unicornWaterSee the great whaleSkywardAre you listeningDo shineIt's a gift you're reachingDay to day you touch meLike a vision we fly to the skyFor the very first timeFirst energy reach first visionFirst energy caught in the lightFirst energy reach first visionFirst energy bringing the nightI'm a river, I love youNightI'm a river, I love youNight----- * -----I'm a river, I love youI'm a river, I love you----- * -----Some Gemini told us of a reasonWe had something of a catapult forceI'm steering out another visionTop, very topTop, very topTop of the world we'll see what it's likeClearerI'm a rhythm, I love youI'm a rhythm, I love youI'm a river, I love youI'm a river, I love youI'm a river, I love you
Into the Lens by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-09-30 | From Wikipedia:"Into the Lens" is a song originally written by Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes of The Buggles. It was first released as "Into the Lens" on the Yes album Drama in 1980, and the year after on Adventures in Modern Recording, the second and last album of The Buggles. Both versions were also released as singles: "Into the Lens (I Am a Camera)" by Yes in 1980 and "I Am a Camera" in October 1981 by The Buggles (on Carrere Records).The first version of the song was a demo, recorded on a Sunday afternoon when songwriters Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes started working on a second The Buggles album in 1980. When they joined Yes, it gained input from other members Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White, and therefore, "Into the Lens" features a more distinctive "prog rock" sound. When Horn and Downes resumed work on the Buggles album, the song was reworked as "I Am a Camera" - now with a tendency towards the characteristic synthpop style of that group. Trevor Horn said about the two versions:The song "I Am a Camera" was a Buggles track and we had adapted it into a Yes track. It became "Into the Lens" and, naturally, slightly more overblown. I don't mind "Into the Lens"—the melody's unadulterated while the arrangement's a lot more complicated—but I still prefer The Buggles version. I think Geoffrey's brilliant on the The Buggles version.The two versions feature slightly different lyrics, notably "I will never let you go, and you always let the feelings show" ("Into the Lens") compared to "I will never let you go, if you only let the feelings show" ("I Am a Camera").The single edit of Yes' own "Into the Lens" was entitled "Into the Lens (I Am a Camera)".The line "I am a camera" is a quote from Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin (1939). The full sentence reads, "I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking." There was also a play (1951) and subsequent film (1955) based on the novel under the name I Am a Camera.Lyrics:Memories, how they fade so fastLook back, that is no escapeTied down, now you see too late.Lovers, they will never wait.I am a cameraTake heart, I could never let you goAnd you, always let the feeling showLove us all, how you never broke your heartYou lose themIf you feel the feeling start.I am a camera, camera, cameraAnd you, may find time will blind youThis to just remind youAll is meant to be.Here, by the watersideThere, where the lens is wideYou and meBy the seaTaken in tranquility.Taken, taken so easilyTo pass into glass realityTransform, to transfer, to energy.Taken, taken, so easilyTo pass into glass realityTransformer, transferring energy.
Whos Behind the Door by Zebra in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-09-22 | From Wikipedia:Zebra is the debut album by American hard rock band Zebra, released in 1983, eight years after they were founded. The album features all original material, with the exception of "Slow Down" (a Larry Williams tune best remembered for a 1964 cover version by The Beatles) injected at mid-song with much of the second stanza of Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes".The album also features two hits which received national airplay: "Who's Behind The Door?" and "Tell Me What You Want". On the strength of both singles the album became one of Atlantic's fastest-selling debut albums ever and peaked at #29, attaining a level of commercial success the band was unable to repeat on subsequent releases."Take Your Fingers From My Hair" was covered by Dream Theater for the special edition of their 10th studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings.This album, along with the follow-up No Tellin' Lies, was remastered and reissued by UK-based company Rock Candy Records in 2013.Lyrics:We sailed awayWe walked 2 thousand milesand then we slipped awayWe looked so hardBut couldn't seem to find just whatthe world was forNow we knowJust what the journey's forLooking out to the starsThink about what you areWhat do they think of youAnimals in their zooThey haven't got the timeLanding's not on their mindsHow do they have the nerveWe're animals in preserveThey watch us allThey're only making sure that wedon't trip and fallNow they look so hardBut they can't tell us why they'rehere and just what forBecause they don't knowWho opened up the doorHow can we find out moreWho owns the keyless doorWhere does the circle endWho are the unwatched menWhere do we go from hereFaith is a fading fearLife is a waiting roomI hope they don't call me soonHow much more do you reallythink you know than a flowerdoes about who's behind the door!(This is the sound of thousands of snapping shrimp)
Holding On by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-09-17 | From Wikipedia:After Big Generator in 1987, Jon Anderson teamed up with ex-Yes men Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford. The result was Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, released in 1989 and supported by a successful tour. Bowing to record company pressure to resurrect the Yes banner, Squire and Anderson came up with the idea of merging both projects, which resulted in the 1991 album Union. In the meantime the ABWH material had been extensively reworked under the supervision of producer Jonathan Elias, which involved replacing many of Howe's guitar parts with new ones played by sessioner Jimmy Haun. Similarly, with Wakeman unavailable because of his heavy touring schedule as a solo artist, many of the keyboard parts were redone by a variety of players in a variety of studios in Los Angeles and New York. Post-production also involved Chris Squire adding backing vocals to a couple of ABWH tracks, but this would remain the extent of the "reunion" of the 1971–72 line-up as bass parts on the tracks were performed by Tony Levin.Although the supporting world tour was a commercial and critical success, praised by fans and band as one of Yes' best, the album was not as well-received, resulting in sales figures equivalent to those of the ABWH album (half a million copies worldwide). Union would turn out to be Yes' last studio album to have significant sales, though it didn't match the popularity of 1987's Big Generator. One of Union's singles, "Lift Me Up", became Yes' biggest hit on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart, reaching the top spot and remaining there for six weeks in early 1991.Before Union was released, a preview of a sort was released by the record company to generate interest. It contained significantly different mixes of most of the ABWH group's material, from before the extensive session work present on the album. Besides "The More We Live", two other pieces by Squire/Sherwood ("Say Goodbye" and "Love Conquers All") were demos presented for this album but not used. The former appeared in a re-recorded version on the second World Trade album, and the latter was on Yesyears. Both original demos are on the first Conspiracy album by Squire/Sherwood.Wakeman, Bruford and Howe would depart the sprawling line-up in 1992, returning Yes to its 1983-1988 line-up. Union would be the final Yes album with Bill Bruford, and would be the last album with Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman until their return in 1996.Lyrics:See the searching, see the peopleSee the searching, see the peopleSee the searching, see the peopleSee the searching, see the peopleSee the searching, see the peopleSee the searching, see the peopleSee the searching, see the peopleSee the searching, see the peopleOut in the darkness and soul searchingDid you find what we had lost?All this time I've got to thinkingAbout the promisesHow long this energy of winter?How many times do we deliver love?How many times is time enough?All the foolish notionsWhen love dies that's all that isWe can never really understandThe broken promises(with and without it) All along we run together(with and without it) All along we run, we run as one (with and without it) When you find a perfect union (with and without it) You've got to follow it Stop that reasoning(You've got the answer)You got to stop that thinking out loud(You've got the answer)Go where your heart takes you to(You've got the answer)You're not that innocent, you've been aroundYou're not that innocent******Got to be right, got it coming to youHow many times is time enough?

Aja by Steely Dan in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-09-03 | From Wikipedia:"Aja" is a jazz rock song by the American rock band Steely Dan from the album of the same name, released in 1977. It was composed by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, the band's two members, who respectively play guitar and synthesizer on the track, with various studio musicians playing the other parts. Production duties were handled by Gary Katz; ABC Records released the album.Musically, it is a tonally sophisticated and structurally complex work that was praised on its release as the most ambitious song the duo had ever attempted. The song's lyrics are the interior monologue of a man who "run[s] to" the title character to escape the stresses of his life "up on the hill." Fagen claims it was inspired by a relative of someone he knew, who had married a Korean woman named Aja. He has described the song as being about the "tranquility that can come of a quiet relationship with a beautiful woman."Despite its complexity, and unlike most of the other tracks on the album, it took a very short time to record, which Becker and Fagen credit to the musicians' superior sight-reading skills. Denny Dias's guitar work, including a solo, marked the last appearance on a Steely Dan record by any other founding member of the group. Making their first appearance, on the other hand, were tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter and drummer Steve Gadd. Both play solos during the song's instrumental break that have contributed greatly to its reputation and been considered among their finest work; Gadd's, the first drum solo in a Steely Dan song, in the song's tag, was recorded in just two takes. Jazz critic Ben Sidran later called the "Aja" session "a moment when ... pop music suddenly took a turn left."While it was never released as a single, it is notable as the longest song the band ever recorded, running approximately eight minutes. It has been a favorite of the band's fans, and they have performed it in concert since they reunited late in the 20th century and began touring again, releasing one live version. Many artists, including Woody Herman, have covered it as part of Steely Dan tribute albums.Lyrics:Up on the hillPeople never stareThey just don't careChinese music under banyan treesHere at the dude ranch above the seaAjaWhen all my dime dancin' is throughI run to youUp on the hillThey've got time to burnThere's no returnDouble helix in the sky tonightThrow out the hardwareLet's do it rightAjaWhen all my dime dancin' is throughI run to youUp on the hillThey think I'm okayOr so they sayChinese music always sets me freeAngular banjoesSound good to meAjaWhen all my dime dancin' is throughI run to you
Angkor Wat by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-04-29 | From Wikipedia:"Angkor Wat", named after the Cambodian temple of the same name, was written by Elias, Anderson and Wakeman. During the final days of recording, Elias wanted Wakeman to record some atmospheric keyboard sounds that were then layered and formed as a track. Wakeman recorded each layer without hearing what he recorded before. The song features a Cambodian poem at the end read by Pauline Cheng.Lyrics:Out of the brightest tree the moon became the morning sun,And there again reflected on the dreams of everyone.Out of the starlight night the telling of all our lives,And racing faster than the Northwestern World.Starpoint to signal our endlessnessStarpoint to signal this evermoreStarpoint to compass: We look to the NorthTo return to the centre: Angkor Wat.Correct ending Poem:In the past, present, and future,You are my knowledge and wealth,and you are everything.You are the Mother, and you are the Father.You are the (a) Friend and CompanionBringing us out of Death to Survival,Showing us the truth,Protecting us and our presence,In the past, present, and future,You are my knowledge and wealth...
Our Song by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2016-03-17 | From Wikipedia:90125 is the eleventh album by progressive rock group Yes, released in 1983. It was the first album since the breakup of Yes in 1980. It is also the first album to feature Trevor Rabin, and features the return of vocalist Jon Anderson, who had quit the band in 1980. It also marked the first time in twelve years that original keyboardist Tony Kaye had appeared with the group.The album was simply titled after its Atco Records catalogue number (for example, 7-90125-1 for the LP). Contrary to rumour, it was not named after an American ZIP code, nor is "90125" even an actual ZIP code."Our Song" was written by Yes members Jon Anderson (vocals), Trevor Rabin (guitars and keyboards), Chris Squire (bass) and Alan White (drums). The city of Toledo, Ohio is mentioned prominently in the lyrics. According to White, Yes's 1977 show in Toledo was especially memorable to the band, mainly because of the temperature inside the Toledo Sports Arena: it was the hottest venue the band had performed in, reaching 126 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result of the Toledo mention, "Our Song" received heavy airplay in Toledo following the release of 90125."Our Song" reached number 32 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart in 1983. It was also released as a B-side of the number-one hit single "Owner of a Lonely Heart".Lyrics:Toledo was just another good stop Along the good king’s highway My fortification took me by surprise And hit me, sending me sideways Spellbound, roundly, good for sunshine Can’t help thinkingSinging the rule Britannia And this is where it grabs you There’s method in the key of C Toledo’s got to be the silver city in this good countryOur song, it gives us a reason Our song, that good remedy Music has magic That stuff of syncopationEver tried driving it to golden heights, just simply jiving it My mystification it got a jewel sky crazy spacing it Hot sun, crowded screams high voices Singing speechlessTouching of the healing heart So this is where we really start Music is a shout of foregone conclusions As long as music plays it’s part, good good partOur song, it gives us a reason Our song, that good remedy Music and magic It's good clear syncopationTreat it good, treat it rightly And if you get it flowing The harmony is glowing So get ready, so get readyDon’t go Toledo, Toledo don’t go Music, good to you Music, good to you
On the Silent Wings of Freedom by Yes in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2015-07-11 | Created and posted in memory of Chris Squire who passed away June 27, 2015. Progressive music lost a great treasure, but his musical legacy will live forever. From Wikipedia:"On the Silent Wings of Freedom" is a song by Yes. It appears on the 1978 Tormato album. The song was never released as a single.The song is the final and longest song on the album. On this particular track, as with most of the album, Squire sends his bass through his foot pedal controls to give it a more harmonized sound. Thus, the bass line had a different tonality to it from previous albums, yet was still able to retain his signature "growl". Though the album itself is considered to be one of Yes's weakest, most Yes fans, whether they like the album or not, favour this one song, as it is the closest track to other fan favourites like "Close to the Edge", "Heart of the Sunrise" and "Awaken".Lyrics:On the silent wings of FreedomWhere I offer myself midst the balancing of the SunOn the winds of Celestial SeasonsThat would carry me on, midst the balance of being oneOn the dream of our love EternalThat will eventually bring our living once more with youWhere we are coming fromOr where we goWe only know we come with soundWhere we are coming fromOr where we goWe only know we go around and roundOn the back of your forty-second screamdownDo you choose to be lost midst the challenge of being oneOn the flight of regardless feelingsAs you hurtle to fear midst the challenge of everyone...On the darkest night so painfulDo you hunger for love midst the torture of being oneOn the passing light of EasingHave you seen you inside midst the being of EveryoneTo the common goal of FreedomWhere we offer ourselves midst the balancing of the SunWhere we are coming fromOr where we goWe only know we come with soundWhere we are coming fromOr where we goWe only know we go around and round

Red Rain by Peter Gabriel in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2015-04-07 | From Wikipedia:"Red Rain" is the first track on Peter Gabriel's 1986 solo album So. In the USA, it was the second single from the album and reached Number 3 on Billboard magazine's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the fall of 1986, receiving strong radio airplay and MTV rotation; in the rest of the world it was released until 1987 and received minor airplay and poor sales. Stewart Copeland from The Police played the hi-hat for the rain-like background sound; the rest of the drumming was handled by Jerry Marotta. A live version also charted in the US and the UK in 1994.The song is a combination of several inspirations. The lyrics directly reference a recurring dream Gabriel was having where he swam in his backyard pool drinking cold red wine. Another version of the dream had bottles falling from a cliff, and the bottles were in the shape of people. When they were smashed on impact with the ground, the people-shaped bottles had red liquid coming out, and then it began to rain the same red liquid.Earlier in his solo career, Gabriel had an idea for a movie, Mozo. In it, villagers were punished for their sins with a blood-red rain. "Red Rain" was to be the theme song. This idea was eventually scrapped, although there was a mention of Mozo in the song "On the Air" in Peter Gabriel (II). "Down The Dolce Vita", "Here Comes The Flood", and "Exposure" reference the Mozo story, as well.According to the sleeve notes from the remastered version of So, it is also a reference to acid rain. Based on one interpretation of some of the lyrics it is also thought to refer to nuclear fallout. And there were intimations, early in the song's career, that lines like the following refer to his failing relationship with actress Rosanna Arquette: 'I come to you / defenses down / with the trust of a child'.Lyrics:Red rain is coming downRed rainRed rain is pouring downPouring down all over meI am standing up at the water's edge in my dreamI cannot make a single sound as you screamIt can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touchWe touch, this place is so quiet, sensing that stormRed rain is coming downRed rainRed rain is pouring downPouring down all over meWell I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this townThey tell you that this rain can sting, and look downThere is no blood around, see no sign of painHay ay ay no painSeeing no red at all, see no rainRed rain is coming downRed rainRed rain is pouring downPouring down all over meRed rainOhhhhPutting the pressure on much harder nowTo return again and againJust let the red rain splash youLet the rain fall on your skinI come to you defenses downWith the trust of a childRed rain is coming downRed rainRed rain is pouring downPouring down all over meAnd I can't watch any moreNo more denialIt's so hard to lay down in all of thisRed rain coming downRed rainRed rain is pouring downI'm bathing inRed rain coming downRed rain is falling downRed rain is coming down all over meI'm begging youRed rain coming downRed rain coming downRed rain coming downRed rain coming downOver me in the red red seaOver meOver meRed rain
Never Been Any Reason by Head East in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2015-01-23 | From Wikipedia:"Never Been Any Reason" is the first track on Head East's début album Flat as a Pancake, composed by the band's guitarist, Mike Somerville. It is often considered Head East's signature song, peaking at #68 on the Billboard Hot 100, and continues to be played on classic rock radio stations in the US a generation after it was recorded.The song features keyboardist Roger Boyd's double-tracked Minimoog solos throughout the song. Asked about the solos via the band's official web site, Boyd said they were created due to an accident during mixing: "It is two Minimoogs. Back in those days we did not have computerized mixing and had to mix "on the fly;" we forgot to mute one of the moog solos and when it went by we thought WOW! so we decided to go back and record the second part to match/compliment [sic] the primary solo part."Lead vocals are alternated between drummer Steve Huston singing the first two lines of the verses and lead vocalist John Schlitt on the remainder of the song. Both the last line of each verse and the choruses feature signature multi-part vocal harmonies sung by all the members of the band.The song was featured in the 1993 film Dazed and Confused, and later in the 2005 film Sahara.Head East is an American hard rock band originally from East Central Illinois. The band was formed by vocalist John Schlitt, guitarist Danny Piper, keyboardist Roger Boyd, bassist Larry Boyd, and drummer Steve Huston. They met and formed the band while John, Roger, and Larry were studying at the University of Illinois, Steve was at Eastern Illinois University 45 miles away and Danny was not in college. Eventually both Larry and Danny dropped out of the band and were replaced by Mike Somerville (guitar) and Dan Birney (bass). The band achieved success in the Midwest during the 1970s, but fell into obscurity in the following decades on both coasts while remaining strong in the Midwest and South.Lyrics:Did you see any action?Did you make any friends?Would you like some affectionBefore I leave again?Well, I've been walking behind youSince you've been able to seeThere's never been any reasonFor you to think about meDid you have any bad dreams?Did you break any glass?Would you be my companionIs there even a chance?You've been talking in circlesSince I've been able to cryThere's never been any reasonFor never telling me why, yeah, yeahSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeWoman with the sweet lovin'Better than a white lineBring a good feelingAin't had in such a long timeSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeHave you ever been lonely?Do you have any fun?Do you ever think of me?I'm just another one.You never give me no answerYou never tell me the truthThere's never been any reasonFor me to think about you, yeahThere's never been any reasonThere's never been any reasonThere's never been any reasonSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeWoman with the sweet lovin'Better than a white lineDon't you knowShe could bring a good feelingAin't had in such a long timeSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeSave my lifeI'm going down for the last timeSave my lifeI'm going down for the last time
Badge by Cream in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2014-12-08 | From Wikipedia:"Badge" is a song performed by Cream, written by Eric Clapton and George Harrison. It was included as a track on Cream's final album, Goodbye. "Badge" was a minor hit in the U.S., peaking at #60 on Billboard's Hot 100 after its release as a single in April 1969. The single was much more successful in the United Kingdom, where it reached #18."Badge" was originally an untitled track. During the production transfer for the album Goodbye, the original music sheet was used to produce the liner notes and track listing. The only discernible word on the page was "bridge" (indicating the song's bridge section). Due to Harrison's handwriting, however, Clapton misread it as "badge" — and the song was titled soon thereafter.Harrison remembered the story differently: "I helped Eric write "Badge" you know. Each of them had to come up with a song for that Goodbye Cream album and Eric didn't have his written. We were working across from each other and I was writing the lyrics down and we came to the middle part so I wrote 'Bridge.' Eric read it upside down and cracked up laughing-- 'What's BADGE?' he said. After that, Ringo walked in drunk and gave us that line about the swans living in the park."A common legend or misconception is that the name came about because its chord progression is B-A-D-G-E (it is not), or simply because an anagram of a guitar's standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E) can be arranged to spell "Badge"Lyrics:Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.I told you not to wander 'round in the dark.I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park.Then I told you 'bout our kid: now he's married to Mabel.Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?And you better pick yourself up from the groundBefore they bring the curtain down.Yes, before they bring the curtain down.Ah Ah Ah, yeh yeh yehAh Ah Ah, yeh yeh yehTalkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you.She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.
Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2014-12-07 | From Wikipedia:"Solsbury Hill" is a song about a spiritual experience atop Solsbury Hill in Somerset, England. Gabriel wrote the song after his departure from the progressive rock band Genesis, of which he had been the lead singer since its inception, explaining the reasons behind his departure. Despite the eloquence and purity of the vision atop Solsbury Hill, there may be some ambivalence of being free or going solo: "And liberty she pirouette when I think that I am free." It was his debut single. The single was a Top 20 hit in the UK and reached the Top 70 on the Billboard Hot 100.The song uses a 7/4 time signature for the vast majority of the song. The last two measures of each chorus are in 4/4.Little Solsbury Hill (more commonly known as Solsbury Hill) is a small flat-topped hill and the site of an Iron Age hill fort. It is located above the village of Batheaston in Somerset, England. The hill rises to 625 feet (191 m)above the River Avon which is just over 1 mile (2 km) to the south. It is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It gives impressive views of the city of Bath and the surrounding area. The hill was an Iron Age hill fort occupied between 300 BC and 100 BC, comprising a triangular area enclosed by a single univallate rampart, faced inside and out with well-built dry stone walls and infilled with rubble. The rampart was 20 feet (6 m) wide and the outer face was at least 12 feet (4 m) high. The top of the hill was cleared down to the bedrock, then substantial huts were built with wattle and daub on a timber-frame. After a period of occupation, some of the huts were burnt down, the rampart was overthrown, and the site was abandoned, never to be reoccupied. This event is probably part of the Belgic invasion of Britain in the early part of the 1st century BC.The flattened top has several strip lynchet and field marker (mere) stones from the medieval period.The hill is near the Fosse Way Roman Road as it descends Bannerdown hill into Batheaston on its way to Aquae Sulis.Solsbury Hill is a possible location of the Battle of Mount Badon, fought between the Britons (under the legendary King Arthur) and the Saxons c. 496, mentioned by the chroniclers Gildas and Nennius.There are three springs on the hill (Northwest, Northeast, and Southeast sides), and an old stream bed used to descend down the south side across what is now farm land.Lyrics:Climbing up on Solsbury HillI could see the city lightWind was blowing, time stood stillEagle flew out of the nightHe was something to observeCame in close, I heard a voiceStanding stretching every nerveI had to listen had no choiceI did not believe the informationJust had to trust imaginationMy heart going boom boom, boom"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."Eey bog quillTo keeping silence I resignedMy friends would think I was a nutTurning water into wineOpen doors would soon be shutSo I went from day to dayTho' my life was in a rut'Till I thought of what I'd sayWhich connection I should cutI was feeling part of the sceneryI walked right out of the machineryMy heart going boom boom boom"Hey," he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home."Eey back homeWhen illusion spin her netI'm never where I want to beAnd liberty she pirouetteWhen I think that I am freeWatched by empty silhouettesWho close their eyes, but still can seeNo one taught them etiquetteI will show another meToday I don't need a replacementI'll tell them what the smile on my face meantMy heart going boom boom boom"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

Doors of Sleep by Steve Howe in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2014-09-12 | From Wikipedia:Beginnings is the title of Yes guitarist Steve Howe's first solo album. It was released in 1975.The five Yes band members each released a solo album in 1975/6. Members Alan White and Patrick Moraz from that line-up guest on Beginnings, while Howe performed on White's Ramshackled album. The album also features former Yes band-member and drummer Bill Bruford on "Pleasure Stole the Night" and "Break Away From It All". There are also members of the English medieval progressive rock band Gryphon, Graeme Taylor, Malcolm Bennett, Dave Oberlé on one of the songs.ReceptionAllmusic's retrospective review deemed Beginnings an artistic failure, summarizing that "The playing is strong throughout, but towards what end is the mystery -- none of the songs are particularly memorable, nor is the production[...] and Howe is such a weak singer that he'd have been better off[...] sticking to instrumentals."Lyrics:Life is just a reflectionSometime mirrored in the pastAs we strive for perfectionWe live until we lastWhere the new might grow with the oldWhere the fool is oft times the wiseEverything has got to be evened outLeaving as without a doubtHome! Home from the horizonFar and clearHither to the soft wingsSweep! Flocks of the memories... Of days draw nearLife is just a reflectionSometime mirrored in the pastAs we strive for perfectionWe live until we lastThe dove-cote doors of sleepOh which way are they, that come through this sweet lightOf all these homing birdsWhich? with the straightest and the swiftest flightYour words to me, your wordsThe first time I took this girl's handShe was as if for whom I was bornAnd there's more besides a fair morningNeeded for a fair dayHome! Home from the horizonFar and clearHither to the soft wingsSweep! Flocks of the memories... Of days draw nearHome...home...
Turn of the Century by Yes in 720p HD vzqk50HD 2014-07-29 | From Songmeanings.com:"Turn of the Century", 1978:Jon A. has spoken of becoming a friend of the painter(sometimes sculptor...) Marc Chagall in Paris in 1970-something, around the time when Anderson became known as an amateur painter.Anderson has also told another story which is not strictly historical:When the Chagalls moved from Russia to Europe and Marc became the incredibly famous painter (this would be around1920), Chagall's perhaps less adaptive wife was absolutely unsuited and not prepared.Deprived of Marc's masculine strengths due to the world's demands on his incredible talent, and feeling so lost in a new environment, "she died" as the song says.Anderson might have said "she killed herself", but that's so dramatic.(anyway Bella died in 1954, a very long time to spend dying).Anyway Chagall himself died in 1985 and since thenAnderson has hinted this tale is an elementin this particular song...and the parallels are abundant, but the story itself, &what a story - is not strictly true.The song though.... is one of their more direct lyrics -and the guitar pyrotechnics make it holy and sublime. Lyrics:Realising a form out of stone,Set hands moving.Roan shaped his heart,Through his working hands.Worked to mold his passion into clay,Like the sun.In his room, his lady,She would dance and sing so completely."So be still," he now cries,"I have time, oh let clay transform thee so."In the deep cold of night,Winter calls, he cries "Don't deny me!"For his lady, deep her illness.Time has caught her,And will for all reasons take her.In the still light of dawn, she dies.Helpless hands soul revealing.Like leaves we touch, we learn.We once knew the story.As winter calls he will starve,All but to see the stone be life.Now Roan, no more tears.Set to work his strength,So transformed him.Realizing a form out of stone,His work so absorbed him.Could she hear him?Could she see him?All aglow was his room,Dazed in this light.He would touch her,He would hold her.Laughing as they danced,Highest colors touching others.Did her eyes at the turn of the century,Tell me plainly.How we'll meet, how we'll love,Oh, let life so transform me.Like leaves we touch, we dance.We once knew the story.As autumn called and we both,Remembered all those many years ago.I'm sure we know.Was the sign in the day with a touch,As I kiss your fingers.We walk hands in the sun,Memories when we're young,Love lingers so.Was it sun through the haze,That made all your looks,As warm as moonlight?As a pearl deep your eyes,Tears have flown away,All the same light.Did her eyes at the turn of the century,Tell me plainly.When we meet, how we'll look,As we smile time will leave me clearly.Like leaves we touch, we see,We will know the story.As autumn calls we'll both remember,All those many years ago.
Its Been a While by Staind in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2014-07-17 | From Wikipedia:Break the Cycle is Staind's third studio album from 2001. It is Staind's most successful album to date, and was the album that broke them into the mainstream. It was a huge international success for the band, as it spent 3 weeks at number 1 position in the U.S. album charts and many weeks in the top 10 album charts of The Billboard 200, the UK and New Zealand. It sold 4 million copies in 2001. A total of 5 singles were released from this album, "It's Been Awhile", "Fade", "Outside", "For You" and "Epiphany", all of which did reasonably well. There were videos made for each of these songs (some of which can be found on Staind's MTV Unplugged DVD). The first four singles had varying degrees of success in the UK, "It's Been Awhile" charting the highest of the four released in both countries. The album also includes a track called "Waste" dedicated to two teenage fans who committed suicide. While a heavy metal album, the album begins to show the bands future post-grunge style which is very evident in the album's hit "It's Been Awhile". There is also a bonus track on the album.

Holiday by Scorpions in 1080p HD vzqk50HD 2014-05-01 | From Wikipedia:Lovedrive is the sixth studio album by the German heavy metal band Scorpions, released in 1979. Considered by some critics to be the pinnacle of their career, Lovedrive was a major evolution of the band's sound, exhibiting their "classic style" that would be later developed over their next few albums. Lovedrive cemented the "Scorpions formula" of heavy metal songs mixed with melodic ballads.Lovedrive reached No. 55 on the US charts, demonstrating that the band was gathering an international following. The RIAA certified the record as Gold on 28 May 1986, and the album ranked 25 on IGN's list of the top 25 metal albums.This is the first album to feature Matthias Jabs on lead guitar, and by extension, the first record to feature the band's "classic" lineup. Jabs replaced Uli Jon Roth, who went on to form his own band, Electric Sun.Michael Schenker, younger brother of rhythm guitarist Rudolf, who had just split from UFO, recorded the solo guitar parts on "Another Piece Of Meat", "Coast To Coast" and "Lovedrive". At the beginning of their German tour in February 1979 it was announced that Michael had rejoined the band. Scorpions had reluctantly parted with Matthias Jabs again. However, during the tour Michael once again informed his bandmates of his impending departure, which led to Jabs' return.The cover depicted a man and woman in formalwear seated in the back of a car, with one of the woman's breasts exposed and connected to the man's hand by stretched bubblegum. The back cover featured the same man and woman, but holding a photograph of the band, and her left breast completely exposed (without the gum). It was created by Storm Thorgerson of the design firm Hipgnosis. It caused some controversy upon the album's release and was subsequently banned, with later pressings of the album bearing a simple design of a blue scorpion on a black background. The album's artwork was named "Best album sleeve of 1979" by Playboy magazine.Recalling the cover photo with the girl and the car, Thorgerson remarked: "Not exactly the most politically correct scene you've ever seen. I thought it was funny, but women read a different inflection into it now."In a 2010 interview, singer Klaus Meine commented on the album cover, stating: "We just did not know it would be a problem in America, it was just sex and rock 'n' roll. It is odd that in America some of these covers were a problem, because in the 80's when we would tour here, we always had boobs flashed to us at the front of the stage. Nowhere else in the world, just here. We just did not think it would be a problem to put out a record like Lovedrive in America. Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years was banned at Wal Mart and Pure Instinct was banned as well."This is one of the few Scorpions album covers that was initially edited upon release in many places because of its controversial nature, only to have the original uncensored art restored for the remaster series.Lyrics:Let me take you far awayYou'd like a holidayLet me take you far awayYou'd like a holidayExchange the cold days for the sunA good time and funLet me take you far awayYou'd like a holidayLet me take you far awayYou'd like a holidayLet me take you far awayYou'd like a holidayExchange your troubles for some loveWherever you areLet me take you far awayYou'd like a holidayLonging for the sun, you will comeTo the island without nameLonging for the sun, be welcomeOn the island many miles away from homeBe welcome on the island without nameLonging for the sun, you will comeTo the island many miles away from homeAway from homeAway from homeAway from home
