    1. Awaken (Anderson/Howe)

    Tim Morse: keyboards, backing vocals, additional guitar

    Jim Hefter: drums

    Jay Leek: bass

    Chris Meek: guitars (including all lead guitars)

    Jason Reed: additional guitar

    John Teves: lead vocals

    Jim: Awaken has its long meditational passage followed by one of the band's greatest crescendo-and-climax buildups of their repertoire.

    Brad: Awaken is such a musical and spiritually uplifting song, one of my favorites in the Yes cannon.

    Judy: The songs Awaken and Future Times feel like sacred rituals to perform. I can say that, to sing those two songs, and to be caught in the center of the power of the music, I can only describe as church. Something so much bigger than myself- a transcendence from the physical.

    Chris: In the late 80's, early 90's I had a ritual of putting on Awaken after a late night gig to wind down so I could actually sleep. I believe the tune to be completely ingrained in my DNA. Probably my #1 Yes tune of the entire catalog.

    Jay: Just a gorgeous celebration from beginning to end. A very tight composition for all its expansiveness. Every sound becomes part of a whole that far exceeds the sum of its parts. Not to mention a perfect arc of energy from the delicate introduction to climax to denouement. Quite simply, Awaken is a modern masterpiece of orchestral music, written for rock ensemble.

    John: Awaken is the greatest Yessong. It has all the great mystical elements of Yes music as well as virtuoso performances by each of the band members. From the opening piano solo to “Like the time I ran way” every part of the song is powerful and moving.
