Splendid!

I didn't know this American prog band Starcastle!

Were all their songs and albums in this "Yes style"? Even the singer's voice makes think to Jon Anderson.

Funny, at the end of the song, within the suggestions from Youtube, some of the others video pictures seem to be sleeves drawn by the famous Roger Dean.
Build your life everyday as if you would live for a thousand years. Marvel at the Life everyday as if you would die tomorrow.
I'm now severely diseased since September 2018.

Yes, AFAIR, everything was a Yes Style. To many in that time period, Starcastle became the swan song of prog bands; having much to do with "we now have had enough of this Jon Anderson sound".
Not a bad band, it's just their timing and sound became more of a detriment to the whole genre.

And if you like the Roger Dean covers, check out Osibisa and Greenslade too.

Wakeman's son was actually playing with them for a while, not when they were hot but like later on as they were reuniting and I think the original keyboardist had passed on. They are from the same area as REO speedwaggon I think the singer was actually in REO for a while.
