I'll never understand why this weird version was made since the first (and more well known) video clip was/is one of the greatest music videos ever made, a
true classic with a storyline, a nightmarish and artistic concept developed that intrigued audiences for ages. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" took Yes to more mainstream
audiences after a decade of being one of the most significant names of prog rock, and the first clip was part responsible for such enthusiastic acclaim. This
second version basically presents a view from band members while playing on a bizarre looking wrecked house, with some parrots in the background and...there are
bits from the cinematic video shown halfway through - which doesn't make any sense within the clip context of a basic performance.
Definitely watchable and goes with a positive note due to the amazing song and let's say that the listeners will focus more on the lyrics rather than images, as opposed to the classic
masterpiece which has many memorable moments that you can't take your eyes off. The only advantage over the previous entry is that you can hear the song fully
rather than the interruption used where it all stops when Jon Anderson says so with a quote, then Yes members are turned into animals, and later the song
starts all over again without the band perfoming on screen and instead we have the Josef K type of character facing crazed situations and trying to escape from
everything and everyone. A lot cooler vid. 7/10.
