Slim pickings for Y.
But I do remember Yes’s song “Owner of a Lonely Heart” got a lot of
attention because of the video.
Then MTV took out the gross part (maggots) and ruined the fun.
This version still has the weird stuff:
I just watched it again.Pretty dark video. With a hopeful ending?
I love Yes! Used to listen to them all the time. I love the video, girlfriend. And it didn't seem so dark back then. Happy weekend. One more to go! :-)
Yes are an excellent Prog Rock band. One of my favorite songs is, 'Your Move,' but that was well before the '80s. I believe it was released in 1971, actually.
For the longest time (and I do mean, for a VERY LONG TIME) I thought the song title was, "Owner of a Lonely Horse." And I was all, "How could they know it's lonely? What are they trying to saaaaaaay???"
I remember this song too :o) So funny, they look like they're rehearsing in their lounge room :o)
ReplyDeleteI remember this one. Tapping my feet to the beat.
ReplyDeleteI do remember that one. Funny how it didn't seem as dark to me then as it does to me now~
ReplyDeleteOH! I never quite got these lyrics before! I do remember this one!
ReplyDeleteI love Yes! Used to listen to them all the time. I love the video, girlfriend. And it didn't seem so dark back then. Happy weekend. One more to go! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE these guys!
ReplyDeleteJust found an Asia CD of my husband's. Gotta play that in the car ASAP.
Excellent song! And they were great in concert.
ReplyDeleteI know the song, but I never knew who sang it or what it was called. I'm not watching the whole video, though, you mentioned maggots!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like MTV has stopped taking out a lot of the gross parts, judging from what they show now on that channel. (And yet I can't stop watching...)
ReplyDeleteI love Yes, but not that song. I'm a particular fan of the songs I've Seen All Good People and And You and I.
ReplyDeleteOh I thought for sure you were gonna do the Fine Young Cannibals.
ReplyDeleteI remember Yes, a good band, I enjoyed that very much. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love that whole 90125 album. I had the tape and played it to death.
ReplyDeleteI liked that song. I couldn't watch the video though. Too gross. (Especially around dinner time.)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I remember that song. I hadn't heard it in a while :)
ReplyDeleteI love dark plots with hopeful endings. I remember this song.
ReplyDeleteBetter Y choice than Yanni. I'll have to listen with my eyes closed if there is maggotry involved. Too big an EEEWWWWW factor for me.
ReplyDeleteLegendary song! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ruth. Whole 90215 album is great.
Yes are an excellent Prog Rock band. One of my favorite songs is, 'Your Move,' but that was well before the '80s. I believe it was released in 1971, actually.
ReplyDeleteGreat song. It's been a while since I heard it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday to you too! Thanks for the song.
ReplyDeleteI definitely remember this song. Yes had a very distinctive sound.
ReplyDeleteAmazing song, thanks Theresa! Hope you had a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI liked Yes back in the day; especially their edge.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to remember other songs by them. Googling now...
For the longest time (and I do mean, for a VERY LONG TIME) I thought the song title was, "Owner of a Lonely Horse." And I was all, "How could they know it's lonely? What are they trying to saaaaaaay???"
ReplyDelete:-D
