"Endless Dream" (7, 8, 9) |
|
Endless Dream is an epic song by Yes released on their 1994 album Talk. The song is split into three tracks: Silent Spring, Talk, and Endless Dream, tracks 7, 8, and 9 respectively. It is notable for being Yes' first epic in 14 years, since the album Drama, which featured Machine Messiah.
While old CDs of Talk featured the song separated into three tracks, later issues, such as the 2002 re-issue combined it into one track.
[edit] I. Silent Spring
Silent Spring is entirely instrumental and is about two minutes long. It begins with a 50-second intro featuring various instruments before the guitar-heavy song starts. The song is very fast-paced, unlike the other two tracks that make up Endless Dream. Near the end the volume suddenly drops and the music fades into the next song.
[edit] II. Talk
Talk is the longest portion of Endless Dream, at almost 12 minutes. It begins with notes continuing from Silent Spring, and vocals staring at about 20 seconds in. The song features less guitar than the other two segments of Endless Dream (though there are several short moments in the song where guitar is the dominant instrument), and is mostly led by keyboards and vocals. The song contains several elements of progressive rock epics, but still sounds very modern, and is very different from epics of the "classic" Yes era. The song ends mid-note, which is continued onto "Endless Dream".
[edit] III. Endless Dream
"Endless Dream" starts with the final notes of "Talk" continuing onto the track, which quickly fade, as the song comprises mostly of Jon Anderson's vocals.
