FUTURE TIMES

In the fountains of the Universe : Set time in accord
Sits the boy child Solomon : Ever turning round and round
In the cities of the Southern Sky : Set points Universe
Dreams he of glory : Pulsating round and round
Future times will stand and clearly see : Highest dancing
Of the course of innocence : Drifting drifting

See it all
See it all
Till tomorrow
See it all
See it all
Till tomorrow

Future times will stand and clearly smile
Of the course of innocence

Dantalion will ride again : Raging forth underland
The course of evils standing straight : Grind to grind
Hot metal will abound the land : Churning out shout
As the form regards our blazing hand
Future times will stand and clearly see
Of the course of innocence 

One the word will enter all our hearts
Two the duel will alter them
Three jewels countenance divine away delight away
Four the fight to free the land
Five the islands of Arabia
Six the tears that separate
Six the tears that separate

Tormato is the ninth studio album by British progressive rock group Yes. Issued as the follow-up to 1977's acclaimed Going for the One, Tormato received less than charitable reviews upon release and its virtues are still a matter of debate for Yes fans and critics. Many fans and some band members – particularly Rick Wakeman – state that the production was faulty, resulting in compressed and dull sound.

It is the last album featuring singer Jon Anderson and keyboardist Wakeman before the band's disbanding in 1981. However Anderson returned to Yes when the band reformed in 1983, and Wakeman returned in 1990.

DON'T KILL THE WHALE

You're first
I'm last
You're thirst 
I'm asked to justify
Killing our last heaven beast
Don't hunt the whale

In beauty 
Vision
Do we
Offer much
If we reason with destiny, gonna lose our touch
Don't kill the whale

...

Rejoice 
They sing
They worship their own space
In a moment of love, they will die for their grace
Don't kill the whale

If time will allow
We will judge all who came
In the wake of our new age to stand for the frail
Don't kill the whale

MADRIGAL

I will be there said my friend of a distant life
Covered in greens of a golden age, set in stone
Follow me "he sounded of dreams supreme" follow me
Drifting within the glow and the after-glow of the eve

And if that firelight, I could match the inner flame

Sacred ships do sail the seventh age

Cast off your garments of fear, replace them with love
Most of all play with the game of the age
Highest of places remain all as one with you
Giving us light and the freedom of the day

...

And if that firelight, I could match the inner flame

Sacred ships do sail the seventh age
And have always been here

Celestial travellers have always been here with us
Set in the homes of the Universe we have yet to go
Countless expansions will arrive and flow inside of us
My friend, he of fantasy, dancing with the spirit of the age

Yes - Madrigal (excerpt)

This is my interview with the band Del Amitri - in May 2021. They are my favourite band and I had the pleasure of speaking to them about their return after 19 years. Justin Currie and Iain Harvie discuss their early career and their new album.

If anyone knows when this show was please let me know. I came across it years ago and seem to remember sometime in 2005 or 2007 but not even sure about that

NO OPPORTUNITY NECESSARY, NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

Step out in the night when you’re lonely
Listening for the sounds that your ears don’t hear
I know your cross is heavier with every step, every step
But I know a man and he’d walk miles for you

Stop!
You stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself

Can’t tell your mama, she’d only tell ya
That she told you so
The life you’re leading she won’t believe
The real trick of life we all know

Dawn turns to day and the dawning
Daytime night time and we still can’t see
Why must we wait until the morning light?
To wake up and be

Message from cover artist Roger Dean:
Hello everyone! Good news, out now is the album ‘Wondrous Stories: The Best of Yes’, it was originally released in 2011 with a cover I didn’t know about or approve. Both Demon who released it and Rhino were very helpful in putting right the situation, and the two cd set has been re-released with a cover specially made based on an updated view of the ‘Fragile’ world. This was a closer match to the colours and shapes in the first Yessong painting “Escape”.

HEART OF THE SUNRISE

Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms
All around me

Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decide
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise

Lost on a wave that you’re dreaming
Dram on, on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decided

Straight light moving and removing
SHARPNESS of the colour sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that relates to all the words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you

Love comes to you and then after
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city

Message from cover artist Roger Dean:
Hello everyone! Good news, out now is the album ‘Wondrous Stories: The Best of Yes’, it was originally released in 2011 with a cover I didn’t know about or approve. Both Demon who released it and Rhino were very helpful in putting right the situation, and the two cd set has been re-released with a cover specially made based on an updated view of the ‘Fragile’ world. This was a closer match to the colours and shapes in the first Yessong painting “Escape”.

CLOSE TO THE EDGE

I – THE SOLID TIME OF CHANGE

A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
And achieve it al l with music that came quickly from afar
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour

And assessing points to nowhere leading every single one,
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun
And take away the plain in which we move and choose the course you’re

Running down at the edge, round by the corner,
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river
Not right away, not right away

Crossed a line around the changes of the summer
Reaching out to call the colour of the sky,
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see
Getting over all the time I had to worry
Leaving all the changes far from far behind
We relieve the tension only to find out the master’s name.

Down at the end, round by the corner
Close to the edge, just by the river
Seasons will pass you by.

I get up. I get down.

Now that it’s all over and done
Now that you find, now that you’re whole.

II – TOTAL MASS RETAIN

My eyes convinced eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above.
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand
There’s you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don’t understand.

Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see
As armoured movers took approach to overlook the sea
There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be

Down at the edge, close by a river
Close to the edge, round by the corner
Close to the end, down by the corner
Down at the edge, round by the river.

Sudden call shouldn’t take away the startled memory
All in all the journey takes you all the way.
As apart from any reality that you’ve ever seen and known.
Guessing problems only to deceive the mention,
Passing paths that climb halfway into the void
As we cross from side to side we hear the total mass retain.

Down at the end, round by the corner
Close to the end, down by the river.
Seasons will pass you by.

I get up. I get down.

III – I GET UP I GET DOWN

In her white lace she could clearly see
The lady sadly looking saying that she’d take the blame
For the crucifixion of her domain.

Two million people barely satisfy
Two hundred women watch one woman cry too late.

Thru the duty she would coil their said
Amusement of her story asking only

Interest could be laid
Upon the children of her Domain.

The eyes of honesty can achieve
How many millions do we deceive
Each day?

I get up. I get down
I get up. I get down

In charge of who is there in charge of me
Do I look on blindly and say I see
The way?

The truth is written all along the page
How old will I be before I come of age
For you?

I get up. I get down.
I get up. I get down.
I get up. I get down.
I get up. I get down.
I get up. I get down.

IV – SEASONS OF MAN

The time between the notes relates the colour to scenes,
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man so it seems,
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love
As song and chance develop time lost social temperance rules above

Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space,
He turned around and pointed revealing all the Human race,
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place.

On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley

Called to witness cycles only of the past
And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark

Close to the edge, down by the river.
Down at the end, round by the corner.
Seasons will pass you by
Now that it’s all over and done
Called to the seed right to the sun
Now that you find now that you’re whole
Seasons will pass you by.

I get up. I get down.
I get up. I get down.
I get up. I get down.

WONDEROUS STORIES

I awoke this morning love laid me down by a river.
Drifting I turned on upstream bound for my forgiver.
In the giving of my eyes to see your face.
Sound did silence me leaving no trace.
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories.
Beg to hear your wonderous stories.

He spoke of lands not far or lands they were in his mind.
Of fusion captured high where reason captured his time.
In no time at all he took me to the gate.
In haste I quickly checked the time.
If I was late I had to leave to hear your wonderous stories.
Had to hear your wonderous stories.

Hearing…
Hearing your wonderous stories.

It is no lie I can see deeply into the future.
Imagine everything you’re close and were you there to stand
So cautiously at first and then so high.
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky.
I bid it to return to hear your wonderous stories.
Return to hear your wonderous stories.

Hearing…
