Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) Lyrics

Nous sommes du soleil - we love when we play
Nous sommes du soleil - we love when we play

Open doors we find our way
We look, we see, we smile
Surely daybreaks cross our path
And stay maybe a while

Let them run, let them chase
Let them hide between
Constant doors will open eyes
As life seems like
Life seems like a
Fight, fight, fight

Maybe I'll just sing awhile
And then give you a call
Maybe I'll just say hello
And say maybe that's all

Hurry home as love is true
Will help us through the night
Till we're coming home again
Our life seems like
Life seems like a
Fight, fight, fight


Catch as we look and use the passions that flow
As we try we continue
We receive all we venture to give

Maybe we'll just stand awhile
And surely we can call
Dreams are said to blossom courage
Constant to the soul
Change we must as surely time does,
Changes call the course.
Held inside we enter daybreaks
Asking for, asking for
The source

Sent as we sing our music's total retain
As we try and consider
We receive all we venture to give
All we say is our
soul constant sight listener
We won't render our song clearer
Till we sail
Then I will be there
And I will be there
As clearer companions shall call to be near you
They move around tell me that
Move around surely sing
As they don't seem to matter at all
At all, at all...

Hold me my love, hold me today, call me round
Travel we say, wander we chchoose love tune
Lay upon me, hold me around lasting hours
We love when we play

We hear a sound and alter our returning
We drift the shadows and course our way on home
Flying home
Going home

Look me my love sentences move dancing away
We join we receive
As our song memories long hope in a way
Nous sommes du soleil
Hold, me around, lasting hours
We love when we play
Nous sommes du soleil
Nous sommes du soleil
Nous sommes du soleil

I'm not sure what the song means, Tales from Topographic Oceans is one of the most dense works by any band and many people didn't like it, but I think there are moments of brilliance on it. And one of those moments comes near the end when there's the cacophony of sound - Alan White and Squire and everyone going bananas (technical term) and the out of that comes Howe's guitar - pure and calm and beautiful, like a sunrise after a night of bad dreams. It lifts you up while bringing you a feeling of serenity. Just a great moment of music.

@rushfanintn Hello, everyone! I was with friends in Nairobi, and the conversation turned to gambling, and one guy said that he sometimes tries online roulette. I became curious, so I opened <a href="https://sportpesaonline.com">SportPesa</a>at home. I made a couple of trial bets, missing at first, but then the ball landed right on my number. Words cannot describe the emotions. I loved it so much, I'll definitely do it again.

My main description of this song would be "long". I haven't listened to it much, partly because of its length. It's good; but not one of my favourite Yes numbers.

Amazing song, and in spite of being one of their longest, it feels accessible, even bouncy. I mean, who'd have thought this band would produce such a funky vibe? Alan's solo (OK, so he's helped along by Steve, Jon and Chris on cowbells and smithy eqipment) is a powerful, daring climax: show me one more song that peaks in an extended drum solo and makes it work! Chris' sneaky basslines that lurch in and off beat, sound like they'd have been the model for Roger Waters on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" two years later.

Jon makes some of the best vocals of the album here: he sounds eager, commanding, unforced, tender and with complete control.

anybody catch that lick from "Close to the Edge" at 4:25?

The angels/cherubs/aliens/demons gaze down at us all and laugh at us/love us/toy with us. Because, you know. That's what they DO.

They are of the sun, not the earth.
