my Summer Song # 1300
RHYTHM OF LOVE
with Yes
by Jon Anderson, Tony Kaye, Trevor Rabin,
Chris Squire and Alan White
from album BIG GENERATOR, 1987
interesting instrument : except the magic chorus, I must pick the
"full orchestra" synth sound so popular in late 80's, suddenly crashing
in among all the super sharp guitars
main emotion : spiritually confident happiness
lyrics line lingering : "Why should I escort you /to your secret needs? Climbing up your ladder /I keep falling down"
similar song : someone with Queen from "The Miracle", maybe a slower cousin to Breakthru
form of field : synth rock, more pop:ish than Yes ever has been.
Well, in my ears they handle the genre as good and creative as any
progressive anthems Jon ever has made.
role on record : FIRST and by no doubt the album's BEST.
Fantastic piece on what allmusic gives only two stars [but OK, maybe
just this song and number five shines much stronger than so].
my private picture : a mountain cliff full of towers, each
shouting through it's windows, then begin to behave like birds, every
tower flying up to the sun.
