You can listen to it whole, which I’d strongly suggest. Or you can skip straight to 10:00, where the part of the song which is playing its earwormy tricks on me begins.
Somehow, listening to Yes makes me feel as if everything’s going to be okay.

Yes – Siberian Khatru
It usually goes like this:
1. “Hey, awesome song!”
2. “Wow I can’t get this out of my head!”
3. “I like it so much I want to use it as my ringtone!”
4. *fast-forward a few months*
5. *ring* “Oh gahdz, my ringtone annoys the hell out of me.”
6. *listens to proper song another time*
7. “Hey, I have this song as my ringtone, awesome!”
8. Proceed to 2.
The most observant of you will notice this is a closed loop.Because life is usually not this well-structured and logic-driven, longer and juicier earworms that would deserve to be blared out from my phone every time someone feels the urge to talk to me are usually held back by the sheer power of laziness alone.

Yes (pun unintended). Feeling lonely. Not particularly melancholy about it so this song feels great right now.
Isn’t it funny how these old 70s prog rock bands turned pop in the 80s, but still made quality pop? Yes, Genesis, Rush…
Come to think of it, what exactly separates rock from pop? Is pop just defined by the singles and what-can-be-played-on-the-radio culture? Does it have to do with the content at all?
