It's when? It's on it's way. And, ahh, we just heard ahh, the final mixes yesterday, and it's okay, it's cool, yeah. It's so wonderful. The birth of an album, you know. Come on, it's gotta sound good! It's a song, an album called 'Magnification' as in if you magnify everything that's good around you, you shall also magnify everything that's within. That's cool. I just made that up again. Here's a couple of new songs, one the song is called 'Don't Go' and the idea is that ahh, Chris knows this a lot better than me, Chris what is it again? This ahh? You mustn't take love for granted, you mustn't! Do not take love for granted, please. 'Don't Go'

We're going to do a song, ahh, which ahh, was inspired by Mr. Alan White over here.

Steve Howe: Thank you very much.
Jon Anderson: Steve Howe! Like ahh, like good wine, he just gets better and better. Here's a song that, ahh, I wrote this on the way to the studio one day, we were working in Switzerland, a lovely place Switzerland, very quiet. A lot of mountains, a lot of snow. I actually learned to ski after I'd been in Switzerland. It's kind of confusing. I should have learnt while I was there, but those mountains looked too steep. Sorry, I'm was miles away then. Um, I'm going to do a song which I wrote, and it's called 'Wondrous Stories'. (Jon's guitar feeds back). I shouldn't have said that thing about the steepy, steepy mountains. We'll try it again. Steepy mountains.
