Jon Anderson:
It's only seems like yesterday, I went down to Trevor's house. It was yesterday and he was playing this song. As he was prone to do on this day he writes songs and this was no special thing, One of those things and he was sitting on his stool with a microphone near his face. So I said 'Trev, that's a wonderful song. Can I sing along?' He said. Not much so I said 'C'mon Trev' Okay. So I sang the song and it went like this.

Jon Anderson:
The amazing bass man, Mr. Christopher Squire. Woo! Here's a new song. 'Lift Me Up'. 'Lift Me Up'.

Jon Anderson:
Alright thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.
