The Gates Of Delirium
"The Gates of Delirium" is a song by the English progressive rock band Yes, recorded for their seventh studio album, ''Relayer''. At almost 22 minutes in length, the song is loosely based on the 1869 novel ''War and Peace'' by Leo Tolstoy which originated from a musical idea that frontman Jon Anderson had that depicted a battle. It was then developed and arranged into a complete track by Anderson and the rest of the band, namely bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, and keyboardist Patrick Moraz. Musically, the song represents an introductory vocal section followed by an instrumental that represents the battle. The final section, entitled "Soon", is a gentle, soothing prayer for peace and hope. The song was originally released in November 1974 as side one of ''Relayer''. A shortened version of "Soon" was released as a single in the United Kingdom in January 1975, which did not chart. Yes performed "The Gates of Delirium" live between 1974 and 1976; it ...
