Yes inherited a song already steeped in American yearning, yet their orchestral interpretation transforms Simon & Garfunkel's introspective questioning into something more transcendent—listeners felt swept up in nostalgia not for a place, but for a feeling of possibility itself, as if the song's layered arrangements made them nostalgic for moments they never actually lived.
