I have posted on a couple occasions how this song was a missed opportunity. This could have been the bridge to a new generation of Yesfans like myself. This song really hooked me to this album, and later, to the rest of the Yes catalog.
Think about it.
The song is SO catchy, contains a great message, and maintains a great groove, all the while keeping a 7/4 time signature. Love it.
This marks the first of three chapters of "World Music" on this disc with its Afro- Carribean beat.

Ditto. Radio play never made or broke a CD for me, but that song especially deserved more attention. Maybe the classic rock stations that occassionally play Yes didn't think it would fit their repertoire, and any other station didn't play it because it didn't resemble pearl jam.
