Jon Anderson records naturally sound like Yes records, and not only because of his high, frequently double-tracked tenor.
Anderson, who wrote, arranged, and produced Song of Seven, his second solo album, fills his overstuffed arrangements with dense keyboard textures and sparkling acoustic guitar strumming, just like the music of his band. (Since Yes had disbanded when Anderson made this album, he had little incentive to stray too far from the group's sound if he was to woo its fans to his then full-time solo career.)
For parts of this album, he evokes touches of early rock & roll and seems to be singing of romance, but by late in the second side, amid sound effects of birds and children, his keening vocals, in melodies seemingly borrowed from Anglican hymnals, are going on about the strength of dreams and stairways of love. Restraint is not one of Anderson's characteristics.

Jon Anderson Lyrics
Days This song of evening's light Would charge my memory to fligh…
Everybody Loves You Suddenly the feeling came I wanted just to be with you And…
For You for Me First the planet, a star Suspended in the realm of infinity …
Hear It Hear it in the mystic voice Of forces long forgotten or Li…
Heart Of The Matter Guess what, I thought about a beautiful day It simply caugh…
Some Are Born Towa taya taka tai Towa taya taka tai Towa taya tak Taya tak…
Song Of Seven In the meeting place I sit beside, betwixt the points…
Take Your Time Rushing here and there, I'm told to slow down Just relax,…
