Yes - The Man You Always Wanted Me To Be Lyrics

Perfect, as always ... but i can't hear you singing ! :-P :-P :-P

I will have to start vocal covers then? :D Thanks Mark!

Love this song, not sung by Jon, but the complexity and melody are real Yes. Great playing again Miquel, so far the best bassist playing Squire, Tumbs Up !!

Thank you very much Leo!

what else do you expect from the master,chris squire

a great steady bass

a great song

+derail14 Thanks for watching!

Anyone sorted the chords for this lovely song yet? Pretty please!

+TaffmanGuyo I don't have any chord sheet, but as far as the bass is concerned it's tuned half-step down. It could be the same with the guitars. Thanks for watching!

I'm thinking of Chris ( and Scotty) right now as I play and listen to this. I think it was written for Scotty. Thanks, Miguel, for all the joy I get out of your videos and I loved the Play for Chris compilation. Here's to Chris!

Nice videoclip and rendition; still, I don't understand why players don't want their head to be filmed, especially when their headshot is right below the videoclip. I call this the Roland the Headless Thompson gunner syndrome :))

Thanks for everything Miguel, to pay homage to the underrated and unique Chris Squire!!! :-).

@Solfaify Hopefully Chris will get even more credit for his amazing work. I do think however he is regarded as one of the top of bass players ever. Grazie!

@miguelbass You are right, also I think he is regarded as you say, but how many people today listen Yes? This is the problem, my friend! However you help us with your work! :-).

+miguelbass always,and always will be

It's not often you hear Chris singing lead on a Yes song, though. Coolness.

That's why I like it so much! Thanks Kyle!

This is by far the best song on "Fly From Here".

It was indeed a great album, this is probably my favourite too :) Thanks!

buen video !

Obrigado. Abraços!

Thank you very much, Gary. I really love this song.

Grande Miguel, sensacional como sempre. Estou compartilhando ;)

My jaw is still on the floor....incredible. Thanks so much for posting this!

Well, the previous owner saved you some work... :)

Thanks. Guy - actually it wasn't me but a previous owner :)

Fantastic Miguel, as usual! Damn, the tone again is so like the record! I see you used a Dremmel to open the truss rod on your jazz, just as I had to do on my Geddy Lee jazz! :)

@TaffmanGuyo Thanks for stopping by!

@kounkounlive Thank you :))

Nice one Mig!

Not the best track of Fly From Here, but seing you playing is always a great pleasure.
Thanks.

@moonyfingers Ah! Now I get it - Yes, to me sounds like 70's Fleetwood Mac a bit :)

@miguelbass I mean this tune sounds like a song from the 60's. Doesn't it?

@bsharples Not in my plans right now but you never know... If I will have the time!... Meanwhile thanks for watching!

@luckygoldpanda Thanks!

@derbystardom Funny, I always heard Steve playing that solo and some notes I thought were directly taken from RTtL. Yes the bass has similarities too... coincidences or maybe not!

@motorpsych0 Always welcome, Robert! And thanks for visiting!

@Faz64 Fiesta Red all right! Thanks :)

@moonyfingers Thanks for watching! This was meant to be on other clip, right? This one is not so old :))

@DarioRamosMaldonado Muchas gracias, Dario.

@ProgMom67 Thank you, Julie ;)

Great job! Are you going to post a written transcription? I'd really like to see it.

Your great! Loved the video

Man, this song is SO Good! Glad you chose this song's bassline. I love the entire album also :)

To me, the end of Man You Always Wanted Me To Be reminds me of the end of Run Through The Light from Drama---the end basslines.

Another song I missed, Miguel! Thanks for this one. Very nice stuff...lovely tone from the Jazz bass.

Nice J bass..as much as I love my Ric I still like my jazz bass... is that Fiesta red?

It's pure pleasure to listen to your excellent covers. Bravo!

Nice tune and perfect bass cover, as always. A song from a long time ago ...

Perfecto Maestro!!!

@miguelbass I only hear a strange hum, not an actual bass tone.

Love it :)

@visog sounds a lot like that - i just went checking :)

@GORFF987 Um abraço caro amigo! Obrigado.

I love musical dreams - I dreamed of music I would love to remember now - and that includes one or two "Yes albums"! :))

@Philmacrakken I am wearing white. Just thought about what to do with the video when started editing... I applied 2 chroma keying effects in cascade. The first for a green screen and the second for the white colour. The close-up plan has just the normal green screen and you can see the white clothes. Thanks Phil!

@visog Chris played it originally on the Lakland, so I went in search for an alternative bass. I tried both fenders and this was the one I liked best. Thanks!

@KoniraThax Here's wishing a good time jamming with this song! Thank you so much :))

@jontis2 Right... well - it's not the kind of song made to be the best of a Yes album, but it's simple and sweet, like the bassline - with some very nice little details. Glad you liked the cover - thanks!

@jeevesthepunk It happened the same with Drama, Big Generator, Talk... many fans do have this behaviour... thanks for your comment , I also like this album a lot.

@SgtZaqq What's there?

@SgtZaqq Thanks!

Parabéns , Portuga!

Nice. Beautiful video and spot-on tone from your fingers to that Badass.
Just last night I saw Jon Anderson and I kept dreaming I'd stand up with my 4001CS and he'd call me up to invite me to sing Chris' harmonies and add the bass.

P.S. Don't you think the end sounds like 'I hear you now'?

Another great vid Miguel. How did you come to pick the Jazz rather than the Rick?

I love you so much for this. Seriously. The bass in this song is something I've wanted to try out for a long time. Thanks for the visual. :)

Gotta love Chris and his love for his woman.

Brilliant! I love this song as well as the whole "Fly from Here" album, I've never understood the harsh reception it seems to have been given. Keep up the good work!

2:47 but this part... What the...?

Awesome tone. Awesome cover.
