"Lift Me Up" is a song by the progressive rock band Yes. It was the first single released from their 1991 "reunion" album ''Union''. It reached the number-one spot on the ''Billboard'' Album Rock Tracks chart in May 1991, and stayed at the top for six weeks. It also charted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, their last single to do so. == Background == Following Yes's 1987–88 tour to support the ''Big Generator'' album, singer Jon Anderson left the band and formed a new group with 1970s-era Yes members Steve Howe (guitars), Rick Wakeman (keyboards) and Bill Bruford (drums). As their new band Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, the quartet released a self-titled album and went on tour. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the "official" Yes, guitarist Trevor Rabin, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White and keyboardist Tony Kaye, continued work on a follow-up to ''Big Generator''.〔 Among the songs recorded was the Rabin- and Squire-penned "Lift Me Up", the lyrics of which allude to homelessness: The two competing bands had fought for the rights to use the "Yes" name, with the Squire/Rabin/White/Kaye faction filing suit to prevent Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe from using the name "Yes" during their tour promotion.〔 However, once both factions were signed to Arista Records, the record label decided to combine the musicians' efforts and produce an album, ''Union'', featuring songs from each group.〔 "Lift Me Up" was one of four Rabin or Squire songs included on the album; its follow-up single, "Saving My Heart", was another. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lift Me Up (Yes song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
