In 1988, Anderson quit Yes for the second time and released his first regular solo album in six years, In The City Of Angels. Stewart Levine, best known for his work with Culture Club, was brought in to produce; Anderson worked with a team of L.A. session stars and wrote a couple of songs with ex-Motown ace Lamont Dozier. All of this seemed to portend a more commercial-sounding, straightahead pop effort from the usually ethereal Anderson. The result is about half and half: when writing with Dozier, Anderson expresses conventional romantic sentiments, for which he doesn't really have a feel. His tenor is so chaste and angelic, it's hard for him to be believable on earthly love songs. And soon enough, especially on later tracks, Anderson is once again in spiritual outer space, where he seems most comfortable. The compromise, however, did not appeal to fans, who avoided this album.

Is It Me

Is it something
Is it something said
I know you're lost
Like someone who's lonely
And cannot see the way

I still love you
There's some things that bind
And so the tale is just a moral of love
It comes and it goes with time

Don't think about the worries
My love will change you
Someday you'll find room
In your heart for my love again

Is it me
Is it me that
Hurt you so badly
Are you ready
Are you changed for this
Because I know that it's not always going

The way you see
Things don't easily change
Those facts of life
That come with the moment
Just memories remain

Don't think about your worries
My love will change you
And open up this feeling of love
In your heart again

Was it me
Was it me that
Hurt you so badly
Are you ready
Are you changed for this
I couldn't stand another day without you

Is it love
Is it this live
Are you ready to be counting
I'm your lover
I'm your everything
And you won't always be telling me
It's all over

Was it me
It's another world
Was it me that
It's another time
Hurt you so badly
I can't believe in love without you

Are you ready
It's another day
Are you cahnged at all
It's another place
I couldn't stand another day without you
I can't believe in love without you

I'm in love
It's another world
I'm in this love
It's another time
It's not easy when I feel so strong about you
I can't believe in love without you

There's no other
It's another day
There's no one but you
It's another time
I couldn't stand another day without your love
I can't believe in love without you


Top Of The World (The Glass Bead Game)

Ah, see we both sing
Get along
Some of us set this treaty
Because I know
Set it to really purify

See the more the reasoning
As the sars they sit at night
We can never really guess
Unless we ask like a mission

And it touches you
Like a measure do
It's a real life
And it gets us by

Some Gemini dold us of a reason
We had something of a catapult force
I'm steering out another vision

Top, very top
Top, very top
Top of the world, we'll see what it's like
Clearer

Just around the corner we heard it
Just around the boat should be there
It came alive so by the fire
For the very first time so heavy

First energy, reach first vision
First energy, caught in the light
First energy, bringing the night

I'm a river, I love you
Night
I'm a river, I love you

Watching
LIke a tiger mystic
Like a unicorn
Water
See the great whale
Skyward
Are you listening
Do shine

It's a gift you're reaching
Day to day you touch me
LIke a vision, we fly to the sky
For the very first time

First energy, reach first vision
First energy, caught in the light
First energy, reach first vision
First energy, bringing the night

I'm a river, I love you
Night
I'm a river, I love you
Night

I'm a river, I love you
I'm a river, I love you

Some Gemini told us of a reason
We had something of a catapult force
I'm steering out another vision

Top, very top
Top, very top
Top of the world, we'll see what it's like
Clearer

I'm a rhythm, I love you
I'm a rhythm, I love you
I'm a river, I love you
I'm a river, I love you
I'm a river, I love you


For You

Tell me that I would sing
Soft as a song would bring
All of a union together in my life
Tell me I'm everyone
As where my heart is searching
Now is finally resting again

Oh, for the perfect sound
Jon, Jon, for my life
As it's something that I must
Explain this and all to you
Haven't you guessed it
Haven't you guessed it at all
This song is for you
This song is for you

Oh, for the perfect sound
Jah, Jah, for my life
As it's something that I must
Explain this and all to you
Haven't you guessed it
Haven't you guessed it at all
This song is for you
This song is for you
