“You have cultural icons who are celebrities to the people. That kind of scares people in a political climate who want control. They can't control them, so all they can do is make the press take control, debase these people and try to take their credibility.” »read more

Songfacts: You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.
This is based on the demo "Dancing Through The Light" that was recorded with Jon Anderson during the aborted Paris recording sessions of 1979 following the Tormato album.
This is the only Yes song with bass guitar on it that was not played by Chris Squire. Trevor Horn played the bass and Squire played piano.
The single edit of this song almost completely removed Steve Howe's guitar work except for the underlying acoustic part. (thanks, David - Apex, NC, for above 3)

Comments:
On this track only from the Drama album, drummer Alan White does not play any cymbals, giving his drumming a futuristic, heavy, ominous sound. During the same year (1980), Peter Gabriel recorded his entire third album without using any cymbals. Both that album and Yes' Drama were engineered by Hugh Padgham and recorded at Town House Studios in London.

The Yes lineup for this album was essentially a merger between the remains of the original Yes and the Buggles (of "Video Killed The Radio Star" fame). Yes then broke up, the Buggles briefly reformed and then they broke up, and then Yes reconstituted itself with Anderson back as the frontman and Horn as their producer.

Drama Is the ONLY album that Jon Anderson didn't sing or play on.

This song showed Yes heavily under the influence of the Police at the time. Pretty much everyone was.
