    The Radiohead bit is the best bit.

      Lovely!

      An actual Jon Anderson/Jonny Greenwood collaboration would be very enticing....
      Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.
      Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been.

          Absolutely! Why not? Greenwood is an excellent composer and musician, and I'm a big Radiohead fan. He's collaborated with a number of people previously and made some interesting music. I'd be intrigued to hear what such a collaboration might sound like. It's possible I wouldn't like it, but it's a chance I'd take.

              It’s the Jon Anderson part of the equation I don’t get. It is beyond me what exactly it is in Jon‘s contribution to this song you find appealing.

                  That is (fortunately) a given. And apparently enough for you.

                    What can I say? I'm a fan, apparently.

                      Well that means a Jon Sings Elvis album would have at least one buyer...

                        Well, he collaborated with Lamont Dozier in 1988, who co-wrote lots of Motown hits, and Jon has a fondness for soul music of that era, so I wouldn't be put off by him doing an Elvis track or two, anymore than I would by him doing some Smokey Robinson, for example. I have a great 3CD set of Elvis songs. I'd probably baulk at Edith Piaf though. She's sacrosanct to me.

                        I do realise you're merely trying to bait me, again, and I'd like you to stop please.

                          Anderson has already done Elvis
                          Not on Yes' payroll.

                            I honestly don’t know what baiting means here. But I get where you stand. You have a very wide appreciation of artists covering songs, while I have almost zero interest in that kind of thing. To each his own. It’s the story of my life: assuming that other people think the way I do.

                              Enjoyed this. I like the more structured approach that echos something closer to classic JA solo albums. Could fit on Earth Mother Earth. At least as a bonus on a remixed version of the album lol.
                              Actually, I think it’s worthy of being fleshed out with a full band production.
