is the owner of a lonely heart really that much better than the owner of a broken heart?

Hank could take that one from his grave if he was even twice as dead.

"Like An Angel Passing Through My Room"
in spite of the 'peaceful solitude' fleetingly passing through the song, and regardless of whatever interpretations it's been attributed, ever - 'allegedly, a ghost story' (is it fk!), nothing doing - this disquieting still-life of a tune was made by a bunch of broken hearted people
and that they managed to complete that album, where this song's from, the way they did, appears to me a somewhat greater miracle than Fleetwood Mac finishing their (magnificent) Tusk

so it's ...49 points to "Unfinished" and 51 to "Angel"

states that not being in love is better than unrequited love

So lonely"

How would you score that one?

"owner of a lonely heart" is a song by Yes, so it loses by default.

Maybe it's cabin fever kicking in because I have seen this Yes video before. But suddenly I am wondering what the hell were they thinking? It's not at all what I thought the owner of a lonely heart would be concerned with.

thread topic is very “ask an inceI”

I really really vibe with Jon Anderson in that video

I remember watching this video as a kid and being like "adulthood is going to be bad, having to go to work and get hauled before faceless councils but maybe I'll be able to turn into an animal" and I was up for it.

Ha, yeah, I wondered that for a long time. The video is some Kafkaesque dystopia, which is sort of great in its own way but... has nothing to do with the song. xps

there is some suggestion in the video that he may have murdered his lover, or so the authorities assume, although we are shown that she changes into a frog

LOL at how the actor has to suffer thru a scorpion on his nose, cat dropped on his face, faceful of maggots...

It's a great video, precisely because the interpretation is so imaginative and unexpected. Would you have preferred something more literal? Jon Anderson pulling sad faces and hitting a porcelain heart with a mallet?

I love that video. Certainly the best most misleading visual representation of Yes on film.

No, I love it. If anything, I wish their music was still as mysterious and ambitious at that point.

Wtf @ this video

why?

So when he freaks out in the shower, that's Chris Squire wrapped around his neck?

The thread title isn't actually the singer's POV is it? It's more of a Dear Prudence thing.

I take it as Trevor Rabin's sheepish emo retort to Jon Anderson's strident positivity.

It does look like a Styx album cover brought to life, yes. Needs Steve Howe for the full horror effect though.

Steve Howe is a wood elf

yes he doesn't belong in this postmodern dystopia

British bucolic fantasy weirdness montage is the best part

I often thought about which LOTR characters the various members of Yes would be

Jon is definitely bilbo

move yourself

I hadn't seen that video before but now that I have I love the song even more.

I always thought of Jon as more of a hybrid of Tom Bombadil and Sauron

I think Jon is more Frodo than Bilbo, and Bill Bruford would therefore be Sam.

Steve Howe = Elrond
Rick Wakeman = Saruman

Chris Squire is probably a Boromir

he did what we could not

Patrick Moraz = Treebeard

bilbo would occasionally break into song about ancient mariners, sounds like a jon anderson move to me

Steve Howe should not be pegged as Elrond just because he resembles the actor ... he’s more Gollum

Or the Lord of the Nazgûl

Y'all are being way harsh on poor Steve Howe

the music video

"hang on maybe there's another way to do this..."

the band can all change into animals
