Yes · Other Songs - Yes
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way
Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of
your life
Make the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time
to make you a wife
'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...
Move me on to any black square
Use me anytime you want
Just remember that the goal
Is for us all to capture all we want
(Move me on to any black square)
Don't surround yourself with yourself
Move on back two squares
Send an instant comment to me
Initial it with loving care
(Don't surround yourself)
'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda
(Don't surround yourself with yourself)
Don't surround yourself with yourself
(Don't surround yourself)
Move on back two squares
Send an instant comment to me
(Send an instant comment to me)
Initial it with loving care
(Don't surround yourself)
'Cause it's time is time in time with your time and
its news is captured...
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (Is give peace a chance)
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda (All we are saying)

About I've Seen All Good People
"I've Seen All Good People" is a hauntingly beautiful track by the progressive rock band Yes, serving as the closing movement of their 1971 double album *Fragile*. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of intricate guitar work, complex time signatures, and ethereal vocal harmonies, pushing the boundaries of studio production for its era. Lyrically, it explores themes of spiritual awakening and the realization that humanity has witnessed the best of the world, yet remains imperfect. As a standalone recording, the piece stands as a masterpiece of late 1960s and early 1970s progressive rock, showcasing the band's ability to construct long-form narratives through music. Its enduring popularity stems from its atmospheric quality and the seamless integration of synthesizers with traditional rock instrumentation, cementing Yes's legacy as pioneers of the genre. The track remains a staple in the band's discography, frequently performed live and celebrated for its emotional depth and technical sophistication.
