Rick Wakeman
Richard Christopher Wakeman (born 18 May 1949 in Perivale, London) is an English keyboard player best known as the keyboardist for progressive rock group Yes. Originally a classically trained pianist, he was a pioneer in the use of electronic keyboards and in the use of a rock band in combination with orchestra and choir. He purchased his first electronic keyboard, a Minimoog, from the actor Jack Wild. Wakeman was able to buy it for half the regular selling price because Wild thought it did not work as it only played one note at a time.

The Seed of Hope
A collaboration with the fantastic Billy Hayes @Hayesy79 - if you’re into sci-fi, you should like this. The single is out on Friday 6th Dec 2024 (06/12/24). Look out for the wonderful video on YouTube by @smartmunkee and here’s the link: https://youtu.be/Y9odVPIBYoM?si=PZnQFxlRWS0vaN61 The lyrics: We forgive you, we forgive you… ‘We’re spending time as if it’s endless Dear one, I must leave you now Our love was shining in the sky At night, we set the stars alight Now, it’s time to fly away Goodbye.’ So, I leave you sleeping deeply And make my way to the preparation bay I stop and turn because something tells me To take a last long look at the place In the decontamination chamber I think of you in a field somewhere Soaking wet from a short, summer shower I place a flower in your glistening hair With eyes aglow in the fiery sunset Smiling softly as our lips first met It’s a moment I will cherish forever It’s a moment I will never, never forget No, I’ll never forget I hope I’ll never forget I hope I’ll never… “You are about to enter a state of suspended animation You have each been specially selected for this essential mission You will voyage in this vessel until a suitable new home has been found And there you will start all over again You are the seed of hope You are the flower of youth You are the future of humankind So, sleep, my angels; Children of Earth God preserve you, always, And may you forgive us for what we’ve done.” HMSS Flower of Youth Fly away, fly away, find a brand-new home HMSS Flower of Youth Sail away, sail away, to the stars you go HMSS Flower of Youth Fly away, fly away, find a brand-new home HMSS Flower of Youth Sail away, sail away, to the stars you go HMSS Flower of Youth Start again, start again, you’re the seed of hope You’re the seed of hope. Music: Billy Hayes & Carlos Fandango / Lyrics: Carlos Fandangomore
