I don't have words to describe this, and I fancy myself a wordsmith...brilliant beyond words, is what I choose...Thank You, Mr. Wakeman; I've always loved your work. This truly helped me in the midst of despair. No Earthly Connection? I can feel Karen Carpenter's anguish. Brilliant.
This is the way how John Lennon had 'Help!' in his mind. He wanted it as a slow ballad, but the record company kind of forced The Beatles to make it faster and more commercial. Lennon would have been proud on Rick.
When I was younger so much younger than today, my band had Jon singing, now they bicker in every way. And now that Chris has died I'm not sure sure, which version of Yes is real, but they keep on playing anyways.
Just... Beyond the words... I want to say something meaningful, but I can't find the right words. The feeling Rick brings to me is indescribable, it's so big and powerful. We are witnessing our era's one of the best composers.
