To Be Over

[10ACken]

I think this is one of the best Yessongs ever. Anyone else agree with their rating/comment?

It's a beautiful piece of music...
A perfect closer for Relayer...

Almost sublime in its perfection

[Timmo]

Probably my favorite YesSong.

[PO]

Is Timmo here, yet? Hey, there he is!

Phenominal song. It is so thick with intricacy that takes time to reveal itself. It is constantly giving gifts of color. Yet, it comes off as calming, triumphant, and calming again. Even a touch of bittersweet. Amazing.

So many different instruments. Let's see: Electric guitar, bass guitar, sitar, pedal steel guitar, 12 string guitar, organ, electric piano, Arp synth (lead and bass), mellotron (strings and horns), drumsticks, drum brushes... It is one of the top songs ever done by Yes. Brilliantly original.

To me one of those hidden treasures that I discovered after years of already having it. One time I was playing it on my MD and got so overwhelmed that a tear fell...since then I state TBO in my top 10 of best songs.

[Scooty]

I agree Paul..

This song is beautiful in its simplicity...howver it is not simplistic...there is so much going on..
But it's so damn subtle, and wonderful....
gives me chills when ever I play it. Yes has that power over me...

[About The Round]

a 10/10

10/10,11/10-- I agree with everyone's comments here.
This is a song which so typifies the best things about Yes.
The ability to affect one over a great period of time.
Initially,1975,I thought,"oh this is nice."
In the last few years,I have found this to be one of those Yes "weathers" pieces,it weathers the test of time so well!
Masterpiece might be an understatement.It has every little thing and every big thing within it that makes this band so great.But ultimately,to put it as simply as possible,this is just a beautiful song.Beautiful.And it gets more beautiful every time we listen to it.So few people in the business of making music can make a claim like this.
"We go sailing down the calming stream-
-drifting endlessly..."
One of Jon's lyical triumphs as well.Do you think they could all feel this one as they were working on recording it?Did they know how timeless it would become?
It is songs like this which convince me that Yesmusic will outlive us all...will be listened to well into the future...

To Be Over is simply a great Yes song. Just listened to it last night.

[BredYes]

Definitely one of my favorite Yessongs. I have the same kind of story with this song as Andersonic.
Do you know the acoustic version on Steve's album Natural Timbre? It's great!

I truly love this song. It's just so beautiful.

Makes me cry.

After all your soul will still surrender
After all don't doubt your part
Be ready to be loved
