Real Love

[Gabriel]

While I love the whole of Talk, with Endless Dream being my favourite song, I have always been really taken to this tune; It may start off slow but the beat really gets you I find, and it crunches towards the middle of the track its fantastic! I heard the song live yesturday for the first time and thought it was done very well, although it wasnt quite as hard as the album version.

How about you, felllow Yesfans? What do you think of this song?

Rock on,

OMG, I've been stuck on this song for MONTHS, since January 27, day after the YesSpeak premier. In fact I said, do that one again! It really does something for me. I’ve heard some people complain about the whole cd’s drums are just too much. I love the tribal feeling I get from them. Takes me to the slow screw-of-the-universe dimension. I can take Real Love six times a day, easy. Free love…

Good to see someone as eagar about the song as you, Peggy! Indeed, the feeling that the song gives off is a very intimate and other-wordly one; I like the way the song starts with the creeping beat coming up; tribal, as you said!

[Mr. Holland]

I'ts a great song from a great album!

[Gabriel]

Well said mate!

How about when its done live; what do you guys think about the live versions?

[Mr. Holland]

Well, I've got a boot from a concert of the Talk tour and I think the song is very good live, but then again I think the whole concert is. Dispite the fact that this tour was kind of a low point in audience turn out, they played great on that tour as the boot I have (and probably many others boots of that tour) proves.............

[Mr. Holland]

A bit of topic Gabriel, but out of curiousity since you're a newbie concerning Yes and you've collected all the albums in a very short period of time.........what's your Top 5, Yesalbums, at the moment?

[Gabriel]

Indeed mate, the attendance of that tour was disappointing but thats their loss I guess since Yes really played their hearts out!

The song is really good live; in fact, I think it was the best song from the Talk album done live, next to Endless Dream that is.

[Jackaranda]

I'ts a great song from a great album!

Absolutely. I love it and, as Mr. Holland states, and Talk is an immaculate album.

[Gabriel]

I must say i'm pleased to see so many people who enjoy this song and the album; reviews online lead me to believe that everyone hated Talk so this is a great surrpise!
