Super Stimme, Super Song! Eins meiner Lieblingssongs überhaupt!!! Vangelis, you've made so excellent music - can't say anything more! THANKS a lot that you and Jon joined together for these unbelievable songs. Beides, if I feel a little bit "down", I always ise tor hear "To the Unknown Man & Chariots of Fire. RIP and THANKS for your music.

I have known this song since 1982 when Donna Summer made it ultra famous. I did not know these were the original creators of this fantastic piece of music! Love it more now, knowing more abut it. Also love Chrissy Hinds version! All of them are fantastic!!
This joyous song is part of the soundtrack of my life. I first heard it in 1984 and have been listening to it ever since. I never tire of it, and never will. Thank you for posting this.
an epic song, the original, that others took and went forward....beautiful...I bought this true version and love it to this day. donna summers did a credit to this song...both beautiful ...but the original must go first.
I love the music of Jon & Vangelis very much and state of independence is a true masterpiece. Nevertheless it's difficult to decide which version i prefer, the original or the coverversion from Donna Summer released one year later.
Great song!!! Always has been! Never knew of or heard this original version up until now. Just the Quincy Jones/Donna Summers hit version. After all these years i'm just discovering this. Awesome song!! Always grateful to God for showing more of Himself by sharing such talent with humans to share with the rest of that world!👏👏👏
excellent tune....I saw Jon Anderson solo in a small auditorium at Hamilton Place, only about 200 people or less......it was his anniversary or birthday because his wife was there......I was just Jon and a guitar and piano.....he did an acoustic version of this song and after so many years I still hear and visualize Jon singing this...then in 2011 I saw Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, that's another story
MY ALL TIME FAV SONG GROWING UP, SO MUCH WISDOM! dEEP Positive influence..Yes Vangelis genius Time again and again!! Turn it up- guarantee goosebumps!!
first time i'm hearing the original version and i like it, relaxed, a bit spiritual. Love the chorus lines where they sing together. But Donna's version i still like most. It's the dancable rythm, the extra instruments and an amazing choir which gives the song more power and emotion. But's just my personal thoughts. Thanx for uploading!
I first heard this many many years ago when TFoMC album first came out.... it spent months on my turn table..... I come back to it time and time and time again.....Vangelis' rhythm and Jon's voice are amazing
Definitely was reminded just now of my love for Jon and Vangelis since many years ago in my youth. My first type of New Age music. Music that struck another higher vibe in me. In the video, the sea, color of the sky behind Vangelis. Jon Anderson is great. Perfect pair up of artists. The whole world is in process of marching along"The State of Independence". Oh yes indeed 🤠. Angelic choirs. Matrix Ressurection Revolution. Earth is a fantastic warrior. That's a beautiful way to put The Light. Was already hitting us boomers, depends on what kind, when this composition and release.
Loved the original here and the cover by MoodSwings (featuring Chrissie Hynde) was transcendental. Donna Summers also covered this but my favorite is Chrissie Hynde. It would be amazing if The Mood Swings version had both Jon and Chrissie singing in it.
Wow, just discovered this version. In fact, just discovered this song (Donna Summer's version) about a year or so ago. How did I now know this song before? Love this song.

The original is so much Intense.. Donna did a good job and more Famous but this so Raw as it Should be!
Excellent, this is not a song, this is a spiritual chant!
Yannis Y We all have a Spirit but what Spirit are you of because Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said the world is full of Evil Spirits .It is The Holy Spirit that you should seek for river flowing everlasting life
A spiritual anthem
Soundtrack of my youth, farewell Vangelis.
Thanks to Jon and Vangelis for this spiritual and lovely song.
One of those covers better than the original. Jon Anderson sounds like an angel
This is the original
vangels...where are you today mate? your music lives beyond your time.
Jon’s high pitch makes this great song so special…cheers mate.
I'll tell you where Vangelis is today, in the great recording studio in the sky...

The power of this song is great.

I had no idea it was a cover by Donna Summer
Goosebumps all over when he starts to sing... this man has SUCH a magnificent voice! Combined with those synths it's just a song I'll love forever!
RIP Vangelis a great man and artist
Just found out about this version of this song. My god, I love it.
This is the original btw.. :)
@@encarsia9 The original and the best. Sometimes its shortened but the full version is so much better.
Love this. Please check out Night at the Proms, Donna Summer’s version with full orchestra. It’s inspiring.
This song is PURE JOY!
Great song!!! Always has been! Never knew of or heard this original version up until now. Just the Quincy Jones/Donna Summers hit version. After all these years i'm just discovering this. Awesome song!! Always grateful to God for showing more of Himself by sharing such talent with humans to share with the rest of that world!👏👏👏
There's fantastic music in heaven or hell or wherever now. RIP another muse moved on.
Jon y Vangelis union perfecta para ésta canción... muy buenos .
We used the entire album instantly as it came out back in the 80s and since then to ... well not only dancing.

Dawno nie słuchałem Vangelisa i wreszcie moje marzenie się spełniło ten Grek był naprawdę dobry i razem z Jonem Andersonem stworzyli świetny duecik
excellent tune....I saw Jon Anderson solo in a small auditorium at Hamilton Place, only about 200 people or less......it was his anniversary or birthday because his wife was there......I was just Jon and a guitar and piano.....he did an acoustic version of this song and after so many years I still hear and visualize Jon singing this...then in 2011 I saw Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, that's another story
Got the vinyl when it came out. Next to Friends of Mr Cario my favorite track on the album. Glad to see it's appreciated today!
This is such a hidden Gem! Its something I feel cool playing for my friends. haha
I love this version so much. It's so relaxing and one can feel the positive vibes.
Totally Sheena. A master piece. Please check out my new RUclips channel. A lot has yet to come :)

WOW ! Muchos años han pasado...
Ambos tanto jon como Donna hacen un excelente trabajo aquí.

Fantastic song...
I don't really think it gets better than this.
