Former singer and songwriter of Yes, Jon Anderson, opened up about writing the 1971 song in a 2009 interview. Anderson, now 81, said the song conveys the stress of living in a large city. He explained that he grew up in "the country," which made residing in London a jarring experience.
He clarified that he and his bandmates didn't "set out to make music" about wanting to leave London. Anderson also shared the song's lyrics are about the power of meditation.
"Suddenly it's lovely, a very simple song. But eventually becomes very symbolic at the end," noted the British singer during the 2009 interview.
"I think in those days, it was all about what's really going to sound great on stage. You know, we'll record it. 'This is a great track, but man, it's going to sound great on stage. And the performance will be really electric, to perform this kind of music," said Anderson.
