NHT130: YES – We Have Heaven

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

UK band YES has taken many different forms over a very long period of time. Starting out in 1968, incredibly, there is a version of the band that is still playing live to big crowds.

I was introduced to them at a young age and found that there was something special that I connected with.

Their astonishing musicianship was such that they could play music a bit to complex and busy for my palette, but when they slowed things down and presented their emotive side, they would carry me away to a truly happy place.

Many of my favourite YES songs are the ones that go for 20 plus minutes but here is a rare short one. This one is predominantly vocals but I found it very haunting and memorable from the very first time I heard it.

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

Cheers, Andrew Muecke
