Yes
Don't Kill the Whale (1978)
(Jon Anderson/Chris Squire)
From: "Tormato"
A strange and beautiful recording.
There is one thing I'm not quite sure of: The F#m in the verses might as
well be a major chord - Anderson, at least, sometimes sings something
sounding like the major third. Something in the instrumental track, on
the other hand, suggests a minor third without really coming forward with
it. With the absence of the lead vocals in both instrumental verses the
F# seems to be more minor than major. Any ideas? Comments highly welcome!
