    In 1998 I was in Beaumont hospital with cancer waiting to go for the operation the next day. I just wanted to go home as I was afraid. So I went down to the radio station in the hospital and asked them to play this song for me. It really calmed me down and made me feel that I would make it home. Its now 24 years later and all is good. So thank you Jon and Vangelis you helped save me :)

    It makes me smile, seeing Jon at this point in the early eighties, when everything seemed so optimistic. Truly, we never knew how good we had it. As we look back on those days from the point of view of the 21st century, my wife and I realized that we didn't appreciate it because we didn't realize we could ever lose it. Now we know.

      I don't remember the early 80s being optimistic. The USSR was fully committed to the Cold War, and Ronald Reagan had begun dismantling the America that had taken 200 years to build. Perhaps your memories are clouded by nostalgia from your teenage years?

How strange and sad it is, that the lyrics of all the old songs sound so deeply meaningful with a blend of sadness and happiness both.

    Jon and Vangelis is a criminally underrated project. The lead singer of Yes teamed up with the musical genius behind Chariots of Fire (and various lesser known tracks that I think are equally epic)!

    Vangelis, arguably the best musician in the world before he died couldn't read music. He used to play some chords and an assistant would write the music for him. He also never had any music lessons and Chariots of Fire was written for his father who won a gold medal at the Olympics. Their is a documentary on Vangelis that lasts for 2 hours but it tells his life story through his own eyes. Well worth finding and watching! I hear you now was also a great song of theres.

      I was 14 when this was released. Hard times for my mum and I. Mum never earned much but we had a little cottage in Wales which came with her job. Life was sometimes a little difficult but it was nonetheless a happy time and I look back and it makes me smile. Sadly all my family are now gone, my mum and dad, uncles and aunts. It's life and we all have to face it at some point. I'm lucky that I have a great woman to help me and two great kids.
      I hope you are not alone and that you have some support during difficult times. Good Luck
