The former YES keyboard legend was moved to commit his thoughts and feelings to a heartfelt personal musical interpretation following the terrible events of 9/11.End Of Innocence is a requiem for those who lost their lives and all those touched by those horrific events, a powerful and emotional suite, both beautiful and sinister, reflecting the dark forces at work that day.
Whilst this, essentially orchestral, suite is designed to he heard in its entirety, End Of Innocence includes the moving lament Sweetest Dreams written and sung by Kaye’s wife Dani Torchia, providing a moment of sensitive reflection following the fall of the towers. The song highlights the sadness, pain and anguish of those left behind, living with the memory of loved-ones lost. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OijeaQP9O_g
