And You And IYES8rank/position

Yes – And You And I

And You And I opens with the memorable tones of Steve Howe’s 12-string acoustic guitar.

It’s one of the tracks on Close to the Edge, YES’s landmark 1972 album.

Spanning a little over ten minutes and divided into four parts, the song—enhanced by its literary lyrics—creates an expansive, majestic world.

Centered on a relaxed rhythm, it clearly shows influences beyond rock, such as folk and classical music.

It’s a piece that lets you fully savor the complexity of YES’s sound!

YesSongs #2: YES – I’ve Seen All Good People

I’ve Seen All Good People begins with a beautiful chorus.

It appears on the 1971 release The Yes Album.

The song has two parts, and the first part, Your Move, was released as a single and became a hit.

Even today, it is known as one of YES’s most famous songs.

Its appeal lies in its bright harmonies and a sound that reflects influences from country rock and folk.

Although this was before YES had fully established their direction as a progressive rock band, it’s interesting that you can already sense prog-like elements.
