Brand new Yesfan and poll!

[capnkrk]

Help me to welcome Jason Loren Powell, born in Chicago on 11/21/05!
8lb., 3oz., 20.5in.
Everyone's happy and healthy, mom and dad are overjoyed. What a great Thanksgiving gift!
Now for the poll. It's been a hectic week and I haven't had a chance to play Jason any of the best music on earth yet. What shall his first yessong be?

[About The Round]

Future Times/Rejoice

A definite. Congrats!

[Silent_wings]

Congrats
What a cute baby

How about Turn of the Century

[neilius]

Congratulations on the new addition to your family!

Wonderous stories, i would go for, something gentle.

[smatt]

Congradulations to the Powell family!!!! :clap:


I vote for "Awaken"......

[yesiam]

Welcome Jason!

Lovely way to start life, wrapped in a Yes blanket. Sweet Dreams :D

[cinderella]

Congratulations! Jason is adorable!

I suggest some very soft guitar music such as in Mood For A Day.

Miracle of Life!

[Deliriumyes]

How very sweet he is!! Many congratulations to you and yours.

I like Kathy's idea...Turn of the Century

Welcome, Jason

[smatt]

All different..... :lmao: Well :Clap: is the proper theme.....

[yesrolfer]

Congrats, I would play "And You And I".

[Earl Grey]

Congratulations Capn! Adorable Jr Yesfan there (...and WHERE did you find that YES blanket?!).

When my youngest daughter Ivy was born, her mom would play quiet 'ambient' music, thinking that would calm her, she would cry and cry and cry... FInally, on a whim, I put on 'Appetite For Destruction' by G&R on the stereo, the kid got quiet, and started laughing... Go figure!

Try 'Heart Of The Sunrise' if the quieter Yessongs don't do the trick! :ele:

All the best to you, adorable kid!

Earl:yesbird:

[muff]

wow what a wonder to behold,

my very first son we named Jason also, :D

how about Onward, but any Yes would be amazing,

god bless you all and sweet dreams to Jason, :D

[True Believer]

Congratulations!

How about Sweetness?

So cute!

[Yes2Yes]

Congrats, Time And A Word!

[TNyesfan]

Awwwwww! What a beautiful child! Congratulations, Capn!
I like "Turn of the Century" for a newborn.

Love the blanket, too!

[InverYes]

Very nice, has to be "High vibration go on........."

[JaneEyre]

There's no bad choice, IMO.

And look at those pinch-able cheeks!

[SadPreacher]

congrats...

for some reason Dear Father popped into my head....

[Yes_Fan_4_Life26]

How about Soft As A Dove or Time Is Time

[tommc]

Congrats!

It Will Be A Good Day.

[Buglunch]

'Madrigal'.

:keyboard:

Can he sing yet?
( How do you know he doesn't prefer AC/DC or the BeeGees? )
:theband:

[cjreyes]

It Will Be A Good Day.

Good one, Tom!

Congratulations Captain! I was thinking of Hep, Yadda Yadda (To Be Alive). It seems like the appropriate message. Heck, he probably might recognize the lyrics already. My six year old loves it and tells me that I can play it anytime. :baby:

[yesyadda]

I was thinking of Hep, Yadda Yadda (To Be Alive).
Now THAT'S a good one! ;)

How about "The More We Live- Let Go"

From this moment on we share the world;
The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow.

[Whitefish]

Congratulations!

I say the first Yes song he should hear should be "Miracle Of Life".

Someone already said that, so a second one would be "Parallels". "The Calling" is a third choice!

Please let us know which one you decide!

[Awakened by the Gates]

'And You and I' or 'Holy Lamb'.

"The future is a friend of yours and mine'.

:headset: :headset: :headset: :headset:

[Earl Grey]

There is simply no Yessong quite like Future Times.

[luckeydoug1]

Miracle of Life!

[JustSayYES]

"Siberian Khatru" seems nice for a newborn. One must certainly remember that "even Siberia goes through the motions" and that life is merely a mismash of cycles.

You also can't go wrong with "Mood For a Day" since it's a fantastic instrumental. Any lyrical representation would likely be useless at this point, and this would circumvent that quite well.

Or you could go with "The Revealing Science of God". If the child can make it through that lyrical labyrinth, you may have a genius on your hands ha.

[soulsearcher]

awaken,
miracle of life or
wondrous stories,

al really great ones..
what a cute little baby!!
welcome newbie!

[inside_out]

i. Order Theme (instrumental)
Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford

ii. Rock Gives Courage
Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford/Lawrence

You don't need anybody, don't you give me that surprise
Everything about you inside your eyes
You don't need anybody in your family ties
You crossed over the river.

[inside_out]

or how about this....

Let's Pretend
Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford/Vangelis

Let us be together, let's pretend that we
Are free, let's all be where the angels
Find us, we all have the key
Shall we seal the truth of life
Shall we light the heavens
We're so good at finding pleasure
As to what we are, and how we fit
Together

Let us sing the song it is
Let the sound of all belief
Let's all find that space in life
To follow in between
It's something that I feel
To pour upon my soul
Countenance of love
For one n' all
To know there's so many ways
The force of nature prevails
I lay down, I lay down and I pray

Let's get our hearts together
And as before, and like before
We'll do again

To know there's so many ways
The force of nature prevails
I lay down, I lay down and I pray

Let's get our hearts together
As before, and like before
We'll do again

Do again...

There is simply no Yessong quite like Future Times.
Quite right Earl, and that was the winner of my little poll. Great suggestions everyone, (is there REALLY a bad one?) but Future Times/Rejoice has long been a personal favorite so that's what I went with. Mom snapped a pic during the Rejoice section (attached). I've decided to go with all of the great selections you guys gave me since I have the day off today. I haven't replaced my vinyl Tormato yet so I had to scramble for the Quebec '79 weed. It really was amazing how he stopped fussing and listened eyes wide open when the song began. He didn't think much of 'Circus of Heaven' (Daddy's boy) but dug 'Time and Word' and LDR. I followed it up with Clap/Mood for a Day from the live ABWH release, still playing now. Thanks for letting me share this w/you guys!

Kirk

BTW, that's not a Yes blanket he's sporting there, just my favorite tee used as one.
