	1973 I skipped my sister's wedding party and listened to the Fragile album cranked up as high as the speakers would go. I believe it was this song that sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes. Obviously powerful since I remember that experience over 30 years later. I'm sure my emotions were close to the surface due to the fact that my sister was leaving our family to go live with that hippy.

	This song feels like a trip... almost a dream, switching structural elements around a common theme but placing them so they dont up-end the song too much. I also agree that some of the lyrics here are wrong.

	This song is an absolutely gorgeous piece of art. The lyrics are all impressionistic, except for the section including the line "dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you", which basically is saying the rest of the lyrics are impressionistic. Other than that, the title of the song definitely suggests a topic: Sunrise. I was on a long drive home in the countryside one evening, listening to this song, and the topic - sunrise, really caught my attention. There were moments in my life when I happened to observe the earth is a miniscule body in the universe, and I'm just a flea living on the earth, in a universe much larger than I can imagine... And during the sunrise, the reality of our miniscule body dissapears in favor of an illusion that our earth, and the world of men, is vast. The sun is the giver of this life to us. The Sun was a reccurring topic in many Yes songs.. The sunrise is a mind altering experience... at at least, the first time you realize the depth of the song's meaning. Again, it's impressionist... Arguably the best song of Yes. I get the impression that this song had an effect on them as a group - having written it. The lyrics on following albums very impressionistic.. The way they wrote songs was simply more meaningful, beautiful, powerful than other bands of less talent (and we need to thank the LSD community for providing the financial support to make it possible!) Heart of the Sunrise was the true sign, I think, that they had the rare ability to successfully complete these massive compositions. How could you take any piece of that 11 minutes away... It's all so beautiful.

	It's about meditation. Some of the lyrics here are wrong.

	I live in a rural area, so when i started toi go to school in the city, i would come home feeling very stressed out. i like to play this song, close my eyes, and just listen to it. here is what it means to me: "How can the wind with its arms all around me" is the peace and security in Nature. it's amost like the wind is a protecting force. "How can the wind with so any around me I feel lost in the city" is the detachment I feel when i'm in the city. the wind is ineffective as a protecting force, instead i'm lost in the crowd. "Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you" is basically inviting the listener to come on a musical journey. anyways, that's how the song makes me feel, it is very relaxing and peaceful. i like sunrises.
