Close to the Edge - Yes


Close to the Edge
(18:41) is the title track of the fifth studio album by the English rock band, Yes, which came out in 1972. It took up the whole of the first side of the album. The track divides into four parts (The Solid Time of Change, Total Mass Retain, I get up I get down and Seasons of man).
