"Wonderous Stories" was released on Yes' eight studio album, Going for the One, on 15 July 1977. This is my second video for a track from the Going For The One album (I did the title track way way back; check it if you dare; https://youtu.be/ZR1koTw5NqI ), and one of numerous Yes videos I've made. I haven't uploaded any new Yes videos in a long time because all the ones I've made just seem to get buried and get very few views....I'll try again, if there's any interest I might update the ancient "Going For The One" and finish and upload more great tracks from Going For The One and other Yes albums? If you're a Yes fan, please drop a like and a comment, maybe give it a share....it all helps. Features 192Khz/24bit FLAC audio! Since this is an album that I will ramble on about, I'll just paste some of my notes on the album copied from the description of my old video for "Going For The One": "Going For The One" is the title track from Yes's eighth studio album which was released in the summer of 1977. This is such a special record for me and I recall so clearly and strongly the circumstances of it's release. I was a sophomore in high school and although I was well into my journey of seeking to listen to all the rock bands of the time, Yes was one of those bands that I knew really only by their singles. There was an extreme amount of anticipation, advertising, and awareness surrounding the pending new album from Yes. A couple of weeks after buying the LP, I was flying out to Los Angeles with my family to spend six weeks with my dad who was working in the motion picture industry....I remember begging my mom to stop at a record store near the airport so I could pick up a few 8-tracks to play on my new (then KILLER! ;-) portable player for the flight and afterwards....I purchased Going For The One, Animals, Low, I Robot, Trans-Europe Express and Little Queen (the first three I already had on LP, but I wasn't about to spend the rest of the summer without them!). I still associate some of these records with that summer in LA, especially Going For The One. From Wiki: "Wonderous Stories" is the second track on the album solely written by Anderson. He wrote the song during "a beautiful day" while living in Switzerland, "one of those days you want to remember for years afterwards". During the day, the lyrics to the track entered his mind that he later wrote down. He noted the song's meaning as "the joys of life, as opposed to the uptightedness of some aspects of life" that was inspired by romantic stories and "a kind of dream sequence". White contributed the idea of the drums and bass playing on odd beats.[ The album was recorded in Montreux, Switzerland after the band took a break in activity for each member to release a solo album and their 1976 North American tour. It marks the departure of keyboardist Patrick Moraz and the return of Rick Wakeman, who had left to pursue his solo career after musical differences surrounding Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973). In a departure from their previous three albums, Going for the One features shorter and more direct songs written without a unifying theme or concept, and saw Yes record with new producers, engineers and cover designers. Going for the One received a mostly positive response from music critics who welcomed the band's return to more accessible music like their earlier albums The Yes Album (1971) and Fragile (1971). It was a commercial success and reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, their second album to do so, for two weeks and peaked at number 8 on the US Billboard 200. "Wonderous Stories" and "Going for the One" were released as singles; the former went to number 7 in the UK which remains the band's highest charting single. Going for the One was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for 500,000 copies sold in the US. Yes supported the album with a six-month tour of North America and Europe. [Lyrics] 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 Hearing your wonderous stories. 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, Hearing, Hearing, Hearing, Hearing, fantasy art jon anderson 192 alan white prog howe squire
