Owner of a Lonely Heart (Yes)

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of Owner of a Lonely Heart by British progessive rock band Yes in (just over) fifteen minutes.

Released in 1983 this is the first track from the album 90125. Written by South African guitarist and singer Trevor Rabin, contributions were made by vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, and producer Trevor Horn. Horn said he was criticised for agreeing to work with Yes, his wife apparently dismissing the band as 'old farts'. Upon completion, the track was also rejected by Arista. Clive Davis felt the song was 'too strange and wouldn’t be a hit'. The Atco label thought otherwise. The song was a commercial success, becoming the band's first and only single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US. It has also been reissued and remixed throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.

I hope you enjoy the podcast and do leave feedback if you like what you you have heard.
