| Yes – And You And I Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is so remarkably beautiful. It makes me sad to be born in a generation were grunge and pop dominate the musical scene. This song is about the growth of love over a lifetime. Chord of Life is about falling in love. Discovering a feeling that was so previously unimaginable. Eclipse is about marriage. The whole idea of the moon's alignment with the sun is enough to leave me speechless The Preacher The Teacher is about growing old together. Learning from eachother and changing but somehow still not losing any of the love. Apocalypse is about death but not in a bad sense. More just the feeling of utter contentment and peace and knowing that you are truely happy that you got to live your life with this one remarkable person and have absolutly no regrets. It's a bit bit ideolistic, but that's what I love about Yes. This song is just absolutly amazing |

Their is to much to be said about this song than I could write. That's what I think makes it so great. To me there are three important "characters" in this song: a girl and two boys. The song is told from the perspective of the boy who "doesn't look a thing like jesus" to the girl who "sits there in her heartache" because she's been waiting on some "beautiful boy" to come down on shining armour her entire life. The girl as disregarded the fact that the singer might not look like the man of her dreams but he is "more than she'll ever know" The "beautiful boy" isn't directly mentioned in the song because the singer knows it is a subject that he has to tread carefully. The girl thinks she has found someone who will "save her from her old ways" but finds more disapointment, though she can't admitt it to herself. The girl has been lost in a cycle of not accepting anything less than pefection, which has thrown her into a world of absolutes. Things are either going great or terrible. So while she's caught up in these delusion's about this one guy, she sometimes closes her eyes and imagines "the place where [she] used to live when [she] was young." She starts to think whether or not this man really the man she thinks he is and occasionally realises the mistake she made with the singer by not letting them "take it slow" causing them to spiral out of control like they were "on the back of a hurricane." This hurricane was the accumulation of all of her expectations that eventually blows the singer completely away because of the man she thought she needed. The song shifts mood a towards the end when the singer tells the girl not to think in black and white so much. She needs to free herself from what she thinks she should do and start living by what it's "time" for her to do. The girl is in a pattern of letting external forces control her life, i.e. "the devils water" to the point of constant indulgance or utter abstainence and dispraisal. The best object to compair to the devils water whould be alcohol, which honestly "ain't so sweet" but that doesn't mean that the girl should just never drink. Alcohol has just as much control over addicts as it has on abstainers. True control is learned by moderation and understanding that there is a time and a place for everything and that might not be "right know." But the singer tells the girl not to be afraid to "dip [her] feet every one and a little while" This marks the turning point in the song. The singer repeats the chorus as an indication that his message has finally gone through. "He doesn't look a thing like Jesus" (the singer isn't what she expected) "but he talks like a gentalman like you imagined when you were young" (but he is what she wanted). The singer is the the knight that the girl has always dreamed of. More than she'll ever know. |
