Loved it from start to "paid in full" finish.

WOW, thanks for all the cool replies folks..
and i dig comparisons because they're useful to putting ideas into words.....
but would someone please take the time,
to find just ONE example of a 'YES' tune, that sounds like this?!
LOL
just one.
seriously, i just don't hear it, at all.
and everyone else seems to hear it...
i figure i'm just missing a whole batch of tunes where they changed their style or somthing....
i'd love to hear it, so i'm not missing it.
not a rant..
and to be fair, i quit listening to yes when they got into the rabin years, probably actually quit listening as far back as "Drama".

appreciate it man, yes, it's a full blown story, but such an easy thing to imagine, after watching classics like 'the wolf man'.

the guitar player
glad you liked it john, it was fun to record, for sure.


speedtom
thanks man.

appreciate the listen and comment daniel, the idea of making this song create visuals was definitely the strongest push on the arrangment...
this took a long time, and a lot of different versions, for me to get it to where it felt the most visual.

Very nice tune, Rob.  Well played and recorded, as usual.  Some nice sounds in this.  Spooky lead at about 3:00!!!!

LOL, yea, i think you told me that once before, when i posted earlier versions of this thing...
heheh, "Aconite".
not easy to sneak into a lyric.....
 
around here, they call it "Monk's hood".

and it's quite pretty...
but it is also called "Wolf's Bane", which was too obvious for the lyric!
in old times, they used to use this to kill wolves.
it means 'without struggle'
which seems appropriate and somewhat ironic, eh?
that lead break was cool, because the amp was on the verge of feeding back the whole time, and all i had to do was slide my finger to the note and bend, and the amp just grabbed it and took off with it.
i like that.

thanks for listening!

Heard this the other day via another source good job all around as usual Bat.
 
Nice thanks for sharing

leadfoot
appreciate it man, thanks for listening.

glad you like it freddy....
but like i said before, "yes"? i just don't hear it.
tell me the name of a tune that sounds like this, i would love to hear what's going on......
i hear this often enough to realize there must be something to it, but it's purely coincidental

guitarhacker
thanks for listening.
paid in full finish indeed.
LOL
lots of hacking and slashing going on during that final solo....
 
kinda looks like this:

Bonus points for actually rhyming Aconite.  Outta sight.
 
Great song.  Great guitar.

As I've said elsewhere - this is a great song.
