    Yes - Does It Really Happen ? Question

    This track is probably one of my favorite Chris Squire bass moments, but I never really could figure out who was singing it. I read some reviews stating it was Squire singing lead but I'm not quite sure. I think I hear Squire and Horn in unison but it's pretty hard to tell their voices apart here.
    Can the Yes experts here on PE tell me who is actually singing?
    Not just a Genesis fanboy.

    That's your answer.
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    I thought the question was about what the "it" in the title is supposed to refer to !
    The later Yes song "It Can Happen" raises the same question...

    I think it's more of an exclamation. You know, $#it happens...

    Just the Brit way of saying it.

    Chris' voice is pretty prominent in the mix on Drama (yay!), so I can see the confusion. I remember when they did it live, either Chris or Trevor screwed up the lyrics during the "You walk, the way, You take, the path, To be, assured, You draw, a graph..." part. They looked at each other and smiled. And of course, the rotating stage was pointed in the wrong direction during Chris' solo near the end. (boo!)
