I've Seen All Good People
[1971]
Da / From "The Yes Album"
This is an anti-war song: The term "I've seen all good people" is ALL the people, including the so-called enemy.
The line, "Don't surround yourself with yourself" refers to self-righteous behavior; "Move on back two squares" is a chess term meaning to retreat and rethink your position. The lyrics also refer to the queen, which is the most versatile and powerful chess piece. It talks about how news is captured for use by the queen, which uses forces to take control and manipulate troops against the enemy. War is like a game of chess.
This song references "Instant Karma" which was a song recorded by John Lennon a year earlier.
The lines: "Just remember that the gold is for us to capture all we want, anywhere, Yea, yea, yea" refers to the rich and powerful victimizing the weak and poor. The US was taken off the Gold standard by Richard Nixon August 15, 1971... (Continues)

Innuendo
(1991)
Title-track dell'ultimo lavoro del gruppo registrato quando Freddie Mercury era ancora vivo.
Alla chitarra flamenca Steve Howe degli Yes
Un'epica sinfonia rock che apre l'ultimo album dei Queen. L'album, registrato nel 1990 a Montreux, mentre si moltiplicavano le illazioni sullo stato di salute del frontman dei Queen, è stato considerato - non a torto dato che Mercury sapeva di essere prossimo alla morte - il testamento del gruppo.
Il bellissimo videoclip della canzone rielaborava immagini di repertorio (per evitare di mostrare le reali condizioni fisiche di Mercury) dei quattro componenti dei Queen secondo stili differenti: Freddie in quello di Leonardo Da Vinci, Brian May in quello vittoriano, Roger Taylor in quello di Jackson Pollock e John Deacon in quello di Pablo Picasso. Il tutto in un set che riproduce un cinema in miniatura e sullo sfondo di immagini di guerra (soprattutto... (Continues)

Shoot High, Aim Low
[1987]
Lyrics by Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin
Music by Yes
Testo di Jon Anderson e Trevor Rabin
Musica: Yes
Album: Big Generator
"Shoot High, Aim Low" is a song by Yes. It appears on the 1987 Big Generator album. The song appears to have never released as a single, but reached position #11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the '80s. It appeared on every show on the Big Generator tour, but nowhere else to date.
The song, according to Jon Anderson's announcements prior to the song on many shows of the tour, the song is about war; specifically, a future in which mankind will live beyond war. In most of these announcements, Anderson explains that the "blue fields" mentioned in the first line are in Nicaragua - at the time the album was being worked on, a legal battle between the U.S. and Nicaragua had occurred over the U.S. aiding guerrillas against the Nicaraguan government.
