The song 'Round About' is one of my favorite songs by the band 'YES'. The music is truly amazing.
This song peaked at #13 on the billboard 100 charts in 1972. The full length version is 8:29 minutes long, but the single version that was sold in stores and played on most radio stations was cut down to 3:27 minutes.
The lyrics:
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by a million years
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
You spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
The video I have chosen is the full version of this song.

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, n' try n' understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
C'mon now, try n' understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now...
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring, on the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
C'mon now, try n' understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now...
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love we sleep, with doubt the vicious cycle turns, n' burns
Without you oh I cannot live, forgive the yearnin' burnin'
I believe it's time, too real to feel, so take me now, take me now, take me now...
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Hold Your Head Up
The band Argent came out with a song in the early 70's, which was the song, 'Hold your head up'.
Keyboardist Rod Argent founded this band in 1968. Rod was formally from the band 'The Zombies'.
This song made it to #5 on the U.S. billboard charts in 1972. It was written by Rod Argent and Chris White.
These are the lyrics:
And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down, you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can make it
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head high
And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing that you're doing
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head high

Timothy ... A Song About Cannibalism
When I was a preteen I remember a song that I heard on the radio, which was kind of cool and gross at the same time.
The song "Timothy" was the song. It was written by Rupert Holmes, with the intention of it getting banned from air play.
This song only made it to #17 on the U.S. Billboard Charts back in 1971. The song was about 3 miners getting trapped in a mine because it collapses and then when they are finally rescued, there are only 2 miners.
When you listen to the song you will find out what happened to the third miner named Timothy.

No Matter What
The band Badfinger came out with some really good songs during the early 70's. The song, 'No Matter What', was one of them.
The tragedy of the suicidal deaths of two of the former band members, who were also the lead vocalists, came as a shock to many, who weren't aware of the troublesome things that those two band members had been experiencing, with the manager of the record labels.
I liked this song because I thought that it was a cool love song, which was a bit rocking for a love song, if that makes any sense.
These are the lyrics, just in case you want to sing along with the video:
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found girl, oh girl won't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see in my face girl, oh girl don't you
Knock down the old brick wall, and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you
Oh girl, you girl, want you

Shooting Star
I wasn't the biggest fan of the band 'Bad Company', but I did like some of their songs.
I liked their song 'Shooting Star' because of the lyrics. It is a song for dreamers. I was once a dreamer.
This video includes the lyrics.

One Tin Soldier
When I was a teenager a movie came out that I thought was very memorable because it was a story about standing up for what you believe in. The movie is called, 'The legend of Billy Jack'.
The song 'One tin soldier' was sang by the band Coven, as a theme song for the Billy Jack movie.
The lyrics are included in the video. Feel free to sing along with the video :) I am betting that you have a very nice singing voice, whether your family thinks so, or not ;)
