"Bruford admitted that he found it hard to understand Anderson's northern English accent, and Anderson's penchant for speaking in strange sentences that nobody could understand, which later influenced Yes' lyrics."

Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources, Chased amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten, Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge, Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole. Dawn of thought transfered through moments of days undersearching earth Revealing corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with purpose, Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructors sharp And tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance. Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean. Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many Won't to follow, only tunes of a different age. As the links span our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting.
Talk to the sunlight caller Soft summer mover distance mine.
Called out a tune but I never saw the face Heard but not replaced I ventured to talk, but I never lost my place Cast out a spell rendered for the light of day Lost in lights array I ventured to see, as the sound began to play
What happened to this song we once knew so well Signed promise for moments caught within the spell I must have waited all my life for this Moment moment
The future poised with the splendour just begun The light we were as one And crowded through the curtains of liquid into sun
And for a moment when our world had filled the skies Magic turned our eyes To feast on the treasure set for our strange device
What happened to wonders we once knew so well Did we forget what happened surely we can tell We must have waited all our lives for this Moment moment moment
Starlight, movement, reasons Release forward Tallest rainbow Sun shower seasons Life flower reasons
They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe that I can feel it There's someone to tell you, Amid the challenge we look around in unison with you
Getting over overhanging trees Let them rape the forest Thoughts would send our fusion Clearly to be home
Getting over wars we do not mean Or so it seems so clearly Sheltered with our passion Clearly to be home They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe they really mean to There's someone, to tell you, And I just can't believe our song will leave you Skyline teacher Warland seeker Send out poison Cast iron leader
And through the rhythm of moving slowly Sent through the rhythm work out the story Move over glory to sons of old fighters past. Young christians see it from the beginning Old people feel it, that's what they're saying. Move over glory to sons of old fighters past.
They move fast, they tell me, But I just can't believe they really mean to. There's someone, to tell you A course towards a universal season.
Getting over overhanging trees Let them rape the forest They might stand and leave them Clearly to be home Getting over wars we do not mean We charm the movement suffers Call out all our memories Clearly to be home
We've moved fast We need love A part we offer is our only freedom
What happened to this song we once knew so well Signed promise for moments caught within the spell We must have waited all our lives for this Moment moment
Past present movers moments we'll process the future, but only through him we know, send flowered rainbows Apiece apart chased flowers of the dark and lights of songs to follow and show all we feel for and know of Cast round You seekers of the truth accepting that reason will relive and breath and hope and chase and love For you and you and you.

I rocked side 2 of Olias Of Sunhallow the other day and it sounded pretty damn good! Lotta cool wall-of-melody synth stuff on that one.

I start to think about the young kids that start watching us and pick up a guitar ... what is their music going to be like in say ten, twelve, fourteen years. It's going to be really incredible, there are going to be some really good things coming up. I don't think we can start to think what the music will be like in fifteen years time.

Recently have seen it twice or thrice rather cheap-priced, yet have always hesitated to buy teh thing. Don't actually remember how it sounded either.

Jon Anderson is a great singer, with a highly original voice. But he sure has some strange ideas at times.

Jon Seeks Choral Singers, Keyboardists, Rap Producers! 7/21/2007 - A while back, we posted a message calling on keyboard players to contact us if they were interested in collaborating with Jon. The response was tremendous, and as a result Jon is currently working with a number of excellent musicians on some exciting new musical projects.
Jon was so delighted by all the outstanding artists who responded to the call that he is now inviting additional "Symphonic and World Music keyboard players and orchestrators" to submit samples of their work for possible collaboration.
Jon has also started work on three large-scale choral projects and a work he calls a "rap opera", so he has expanded his search to talented choral singers and rap producers as well!
If you are a keyboard player OR a choral singer (male or female) OR an experienced rap producer and you're interested in working with Jon, please send a sample of your work to j✧✧.ander✧✧✧.webmas✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ following these guidelines:
1. MP3 File Format, GOOD QUALITY recording.
2. No longer than 1 minute in length (you can make it part of one piece, or a collage of parts from different works if you'd like.)
3. File size no larger than 2MB
4. Music/singing/rap only, PLEASE NO SPOKEN MESSAGES TO JON!
Audio files that meet these criteria will be compiled for Jon to review. If Jon is inspired by what he hears, we'll be in touch - it's as simple as that!

What about a rap message to Jon? I can't wait to hear this.

On the marquee of the TLA in Philadelphia once: "JON ANDERSON PRESENTS A WORK IN PROGRESS"
I thought that was kind of all-time pretentious in a way that you can only forgive him for and laugh

I am having a hard time respecting Jon Anderson as a lyricist, but he is a great singer with a distinctive voice, and also a good composer.

You've recently become an American citizen. What factors lead to that decision?
I'm a big believer in the policies of Obama. It's a crazy world when half the country doesn't believe in him. I've been in the U.S. for 25 years and I thought it was time I became a part of the change.
Early on in life, you wanted to be a soccer player. How different would your life had been if you had been successful in that sport?
Oh my God, I was just talking soccer with a friend of mine. I am a huge Manchester United fan. When I was 9 years old, I was the mascot for my hometown team. But now, I am a big fan of American football. I am a 49ers fan. I know that won't go down too well in Dallas.
Do you go to many games?
My wife and I have been to a few. We were so devastated when the Giants beat us, but at least the Giants won the Super Bowl, so we were beaten by the best team.
Is it true you were once a milk man?
Yes, I worked on a farm with my brother. We would get up every morning at 5:30. I was 10 years old and I did that until I was 14. We would deliver milk and eggs to the families that lived around us. We would get a week off in the summer and two days off for Christmas. It was a tough life. It made me a good worker.

It's Sunday morning and there's nothing on the telly but I've stumbled across a 1964 British film called "Just For You", which is basically a compilation of "videos" of mostly forgotten and undistinguished musical acts, and I just realized that Jon Anderson is in one of them.
