What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



This would have been so fine if not for them blasted instrumentals. Sorry instrument lovers, I gotta have meat with
my taters. Four of those instrumentals on here, one each for Bruford Wakeman, Squire and Howe. Three love tracks to
go with it with Roundabout one of my Yes all time favorites. What turned me on the the band I think, although that
would have been edited in length for the single. The groups fourth album and the first to feature keyboardist Rick
Wakeman who replaced Tony Kaye, who was dumped in the middle of recording this, for his refusing to include Moog
synthesizer, as he preferred his Hammond organ. Can't say I fault him for that. Of course his replacement proved to
fit the bill. The album was a hit for the band on both shores, #7 there, #4 here, with the single of Roundabout
hitting #13 here.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Five Percent For Nothing

Best Track - Roundabout

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by a million years

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
You spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
