Song Wedgie

Song: I’ve Seen All Good People
Artist: Yes
Album: The Yes Album
Release: 1971

The first part of the song is likely based on the book ‘Through The Looking Glass’, the understood sequel to ‘Alice and Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll. The second part, consists of many repetitions of the sentence ‘I’ve seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I’m on my way’ over a driving rock accompaniment, ending in a powerful vocal harmony and organ phrase which begins on a chord progression of E, D, C, G, then A. Each repetition of the verse is one whole step lower than the previous as the song fades out. [Wikipedia]
