• albume adini veren $arkinin sozleri:
  
  i. the solid time of change
  
  a seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
  and rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
  and achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
  then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
  and assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one.
  a dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun,
  and take away the plain in which we move,
  and choose the course you're running.
  
  down at the edge, round by the corner,
  not right away, not right away.
  close to the edge, down by a river,
  not right away, not right away.
  
  crossed the line around the changes of the summer,
  reaching out to call the color of the sky.
  passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see.
  getting over all the time i had to worry,
  leaving all the changes far from far behind.
  we relieve the tension only to find out the master's name.
  
  down at the end, round by the corner.
  close to the edge, just by a river.
  seasons will pass you by.
  i get up, i get down.
  now that it's all over and done,
  now that you find, now that you're whole.
  
  ii. total mass retain
  
  my eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love.
  it changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above.
  i crucified my hate and held the word within my hand.
  there's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand.
  
  sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see,
  as armoured movers took approached to overlook the sea.
  there since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be.
  
  down at the edge, close by a river.
  close to the edge, round by the corner.
  close to the end, down by the corner.
  down at the edge, round by the river.
  
  sudden problems shouldn't take away the startled memory.
  all in all, the journey takes you all the way.
  as apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known.
  guessing problems only to deceive the mention,
  passing paths that climb halfway into the void.
  as we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain.
  
  down at the edge, round by the corner.
  close to the end, down by a river.
  seasons will pass you by.
  i get up, i get down.
  
  iii. i get up, i get down
  
  in her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking.
  saying that she'd take the blame
  for the crucifixion of her own domain. i get up,
  i get down,
  i get up,
  i get down.
  
  two million people barely satisfy.
  two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
  the eyes of honesty can achieve.
  how many millions do we deceive each day?
  i get up, i get down.
  i get up, i get down.
  
  in charge of who is there in charge of me.
  do i look on blindly and say i see the way?
  the truth is written all along the page.
  how old will i be before i come of age for you?
  i get up, i get down.
  i get up, i get down.
  i get up, i get down.
  
  iv. seasons of man
  
  the time between the notes relates the color to the scenes.
  a constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems.
  and space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love.
  as song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above.
  
  then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space,
  he turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race.
  i shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place.
  on the hill we viewed the silence of the valley,
  called to witness cycles only of the past.
  and we reach all this with movements in between the said remark.
  
  close to the edge, down by the river.
  down at the end, round by the corner.
  seasons will pass you by,
  now that it's all over and done,
  called to the seed, right to the sun.
  now that you find, now that you're whole.
  seasons will pass you by,
  i get up, i get down.
  i get up, i get down.
  i get up, i get down.
  i get up.
• apayrı bir yaşam deneyimi sunan yes parçası / albümü.
  
  albümle aynı adı taşıyan 19 dakikalık parça kaotik girişi, steve howe'un ilk 3 dakikadaki inanılmaz uçuşu, 3 - 9 dakikalar arasındaki efendi gidişi, 9.cu dakikadan sonra verdiği tedirgin bekleyişin ardından gelen i get up, i get down bölümü ve sonrasında tam olarak 12:11 de girip adamı yamultan efsanevi rick wakeman solosu (ki bırakın yes tarihini, prog. rock tarihinde benzeri yoktur, seneler sonra iq müthiş albümü dark matter'in açılış parçası sacred sound'da benzerini denemiştir) ile gönüllerimizde taht kurmuş, böyle bir şey nasıl yapılabilmiş, bunlar insan mıdır diye derin derin düşünmemize yol açmıştır.
• progressive rock albumleri arasinda zirvedekilerden biri olan albumun ayni adi tasiyan parcasi hermann hessenin siddhartha adli romanindan esinlenerek bizlere hediye edilmistir.
• yes'in en iyi albümü olmasa da iyilerinden biri kesinlikle. en iyi albüm tales from topographic oceans veya relayer olabilir ama bu değil. 1972'de çıkmış kötü bir prog albümü yok ki zaten.
• top prog albums listesinde bir numaradır.

• ufak tefek karakteristikler belirlendiğinde yapılmış en iyi prog rock albümü denilebilinir mi? denilir. ama ben demem. yes için bile en iyisi demem. prog rock böyledir biraz. seni teknik olarak değil, kıyıdan köşeden alakasız bi' yerden vurup kendine bağlar.
• ortalarda durgunlaşınca vücutta tutukluğa yol açan harika yes parçası. giriş kısmını ilk seferde kavramak zordur ayrıca. ne olup bittiğini anlamak içi bir kaç kez dinlemek lazım
• klip havası yakalamak uğruna, dinlerken solitude'dan riften'a yürüdüğüm albüm. çok kaptırmışım, riften kapısında guard'ın sorusuyla irkildim: "staying out of trouble, kinsman ?"
  
  demem o ki yes'in bayaa iyi bir albümüdür. ne yarısı çöplük olan tales from topographic oceans gibidir, ne de gayet iyi bir albüm olan relayer gibidir. olağandışı bir albümdür. ayrıca senesinin de en iyi albümüdür. thick as a brick de foxtrot da avucunu yalasın.
