‘It was an I Will Survive for the 1990s’: how McAlmont & Butler made Yes

‘David only had words for one verse. “Just sing it twice,” I said. “We can worry about that later.” But we never got around to it – and people don’t seem to notice’

Guitarist Bernard Butler left Suede, gone home, and listened to lots of Dusty Springfield. Her spirit seeped into this uplifting song, sung by David McAlmont.

It's a massive eff-you to the negative folk in life, those who would drag us down. What could McAlmont and Butler be thinking of?

The song's since been adopted as a liberation tune by those changing their life.
