Yours Is No Disgrace is one of my favourites with its variable moods and adventurous parts. I especially love the guitar that arrives with a long sweeping note here. Everything Steve Howe plays with that guitar sound after that is just pure magic. I think this song contains some of his finest performances.

I've always loved how Steve's guitar bounces back and forth between the left and right channels in this segment.

This is perhaps my favorite guitar solos!

This is the one that got me hooked forever into classic progressive rock.  It's the benchmark, imho.

<b>ROUNDABOUT</b>

I’ll be the round about
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
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

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”.

Lovers Of The World - Mandom

Diver Down
Leandro Motta & Ujwal Arkalgud

So you might say
Love’s forever
Maybe I will let you know
About feelings that do scare me so

In the meantime
I would cut through
Oceans at the speed of light
If it could put up a fight

Open seas but diver down
And it’s me; the one who’s drowning is me
Sailing’s put us in a bind
So you can’t leave the shore behind

Don’t put to sea, I’m diving down
When it’s not me the one who’s used to flee
Shipwrecks’ treasures I could find
Should we wait for turning tides?

But it’s me, well it’s me
And it’s me, it’s probably me

Unattended quiet failures
Are now easily magnified
Their repair we haven’t tried

Come and save me
I’m relentless
In troubled waters you could dive
Help me search for peace of mind

Open seas but diver down
And it’s me; the one who’s drowning is me
Sailing’s put us in a bind
So you can’t leave the shore behind

Don’t put to sea, I’m diving down
When it’s not me the one who’s used to flee
Shipwrecks’ treasures I can find
If we wait for turning tides

But it’s me, well it’s me
And it’s me, it’s probably me

YOURS IS NO DISGRACE

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no disgrace.

Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are,
Lost in summer, born in winter, travel very far,
Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.

Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.

Fragile is the fourth studio album from the English progressive rock band Yes, released on Atlantic Records. It is the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who replaced Tony Kaye in 1971, and the first to feature cover art by Roger Dean, who would design many of the band's records.

Upon its release in the UK in November 1971, Fragile hit number 7 on the UK Album Chart, which would prove its highest position there.[1] It later reached number 4 on the US Billboard 200[2] during a stay of 46 weeks. Its release in the United States was held back for two months because of the chart momentum of their previous record, The Yes Album.
