Anderson, Rabin & Wakeman • Heart Of The Sunrise

Εδώ είναι ένα πολύ καλό κλιπ από μια συναυλία των Anderson, Rabin & Wakeman το 2018, με τον μπασίστα Lee Pomeroy.
Το" Heart of the Sunrise " είναι ένα progressive ροκ τραγούδι από τη βρετανική μπάντα Yes . Είναι το κομμάτι κλεισίματος του τέταρτου άλμπουμ τους, Fragile του 1971 . Είναι σύνθεση των Jon Anderson , Bill Bruford και Chris Squire , παρόλο που ο Rick Wakeman συνέβαλε σε μερικά αδιαμφισβήτητα τμήματα.

Love comes to you and you follow

Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise

Sharp distance

How can the wind with its arms

All around me

Lost on a wave and then after

Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise

Sharp distance

How can the wind with so many around me

Lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by

Counting the broken ties they decide

Love comes to you and then after

Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise

Lost on a wave that you're dreaming

Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise

Sharp distance

How can the wind with its arms all around me

Sharp distance

How can the wind with so many around me

I feel lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by

Counting the broken ties they decided

Straight light moving and removing

Sharpness of the color sun shine

Straight light searching all the meanings of the song

Long last treatment of the telling that

Relates to all the words sung

Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you

Love comes to you and then after

Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise

Sharp distance

How can the wind with its arms all around me

Sharp distance

How can the wind with so many around me

I feel lost in the city

Rick Wakeman - The Journey

By horse, by rail, by land, by sea, our journey starts

Two men incensed by one man's journey from the past

In Iceland, where the mountain stood with pride

They set off with their guide

To reach the mountain side

Roped as one for safety through the long descent

Into the crater of volcanic rock they went

Look up from our telescopic laair,

One star for us to share,

We continue on our prayer.

Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears,

Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries.
