An excellent and catchy song, but it's really not Yes. It seems that they hit their peak during the seventies with such masterpieces as Roundabout and Siberian Khatru...

I agree with Mike, this band is under rated, real good video.

Yes....A very under-rated rock band!
This is probably one of their more popular songs, and it was at the latter part of their career. A pretty cool video too.

A superb song. Better than the prog rock drivel this band subjected us to in the 70's.

After South African guitarist Trevor Rabin was invited aboard the Yes train, he and Jon Anderson wrote some very fresh, albeit un-Yes-like Yes songs, that made up 1983's 90125. This is not even the best cut on the album. But if you liked this one, you'll love the others.

Yes, are a collection of some the greatest rock musicians of the 1970's and 80's, their sound augmented by Jon Anderson's distinct vocals. They're still performing in some way shape or form. They probably deserved more commercial success, but maybe they didn't want it. Not quite a great song, but a breakaway from the new wave sound, that was so popular in the early 80's.

Love this addictive song. Keep playing it.

Standing on the cliffside, shirt unbuttoned and flapping in the air (while the camera pans around), screamingly passionate anthem. I literally cannot hear this song without singing along, and that's just the chorus, the verses are unbelievably funky.

This song has a vibe, unlike today's rock/pop, which has been flattened by computers and over-production. Today's philosophy in music production seems to be this, Let's get this song to sound perfect and flawless and perfectly in time. Hell, if we can't do it, we'll just have the computers do it. I can't wait 'til it is rediscoverd by the public that the enjoyment of music comes from HUMAN feeling. And computers, although they are amazing at the things they can accomplish, lack personality, or soul.

Owner Of A Lonely Heart was a nice comeback (of sorts) for Yes off of the band's exceptional full-length effort 90125 (released in 1983 and named after the record label's catalog number for the LP). The single introduced an entire generation to the band and for good reason as the song featured a distinctive, non-traditional sound for Yes and the return of Jon Anderson on vocals, and the song received heavy MTV rotation. However, as the 1980's (at least the early 1980's) were defined by the post-punk and new wave sound which were often one or two hit wonders, this song doesn't quite reach the five star status when compared to the other major songs of the era. Owner Of A Lonely Heart charted in the U.S. for 17 weeks in 1983-84, peaking at #1 for 2 of those weeks.

When this song was new, I kinda liked it. Then I hated it. Then I liked it again. Now I think it's genius. Weird how getting older changes your perspective; I first heard this when I was 10 years old, and now that I'm 30 I can feel the nuances and odd timings so much better.
