THE YES ALBUM

Este foi o meu primeiro disco de rock progressivo, uma evolução natural para os moleques daquela época. Cada música era uma viagem. Longas melodias, solos, letras imcomprensiveis. O aparelho de som já era melhor, tinha fones de ouvido, tudo para manter a nossa absoluta privacidade nas tardes solitárias depois da escola. 

Yes é uma banda que toca até hoje, passou por inúmeras formações mas sempre mantendo a base de baixo, guitara e bateria constante, além dos vocais de John Anderson, inconfundíveis. Ouvi muito até o disco Relayer e acho que eles foram ficando um pouco chatos e repetitivos. Nos shows êles tocam sempre as músicas dos primeiros discos, até meados dos anos 70.A formação clássica é a deste disco, com Rick Wakeman nos teclados e Alan White na bateria.~
Não deixem de ouvir o som original do vinil nos links do fim da postagem !!! E boa viagem...

Starship Trooper

Sister Bluebird flying high above,

Shine your wings forward to the sun.

Hide the myst'ries of life on your way.

Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.

What you don't know, I have never heard.

Starship Trooper, go sailing on by,

Catch my soul, catch the very light.

Hide the moment from my eager eye.

Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul.

What you can't see, can't be very whole.

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,

The setting up of other roads, to travel on in old accustomed ways.

I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughter that,

Knew the knowledge of the land, that spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.

Mother life, hold firmly on to me.

Catch my knowledge higher than the day.

Lose as much as only you can show.

Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.

What I don't know, I have never shared.

II. Disillusion

Squire

Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess to give or take away forever.

All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts thereshown before you.

Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy to say

that this is all confusion.

As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow.

Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,

The setting up of other roads, to travel on in old accustomed ways.

I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughter that,

Knew the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.
