Live at Siyan - by Howard Jones
'When we finally got home from the US trio tour in March this year amidst gigs being cancelled and anxiety at every turn, it felt good to be in Somerset and in one place for a while. Lockdown was a novelty for a short time and then reality kicked in. The realisation that I can no longer do what I love to do hit home and suddenly for all the amazing musicians and technicians that I work with everything abruptly came to a halt. I really felt the need to connect with my amazing fans around the world and having seen Laura Marling’s beautiful streamed performance from The Chapel in London I was inspired to have a go at a live stream show myself. It would mean at least 20 people would have some work and I could encourage people not to give up hope in a global pandemic. I couldn’t really involve the band or Nick and Robin as I didn’t want to put them at risk. I thought the best thing was a solo piano gig with good sound and camera work. It turned out to be one of the most challenging gigs of my life. It was like recording a double album live in front of fans around the world with no audience feedback. I recorded everything as I rehearsed to instil the pressure of nailing every aspect of the performance.... after all the audience would have ringside front row seats!I wanted to focus on songs that seemed relevant to our situation and I wanted to pick out lyrics that reflected this. Going back to High Wycombe, where so many things kicked off for me, and reuniting with Siyan (the company who did my very first light show) was quite surreal. I thought that the stream would be a ‘one night only’ affair but on listening to the mix that my great friend Stephen Tayler had done for me I thought that with a few tweaks it would make an interesting album recorded in a unique and unprecedented time. I’m very excited to release Live at Siyan. It is a very personal recording capturing some of my favourite hojo songs. I always like to play a cover and I have always been haunted by Lazarus from DB’s Black Star album so I wanted to include this tribute to my favourite artist. This is a limited release- numbered and signed and I hope you can enjoy it as we look forward to Winter turning to Spring and a vaccine on the way. I hope this last 9 months has not been too painful and anxious for you and your loved ones and that we can all look forward to embracing each other again instead of gazing upon our virtual avatar selves over zoom. With my best regards'Howard Director Tim SidwellLive Sound by Stephen W TaylerProduced by Joe Stopps Music in association with Howard Jones Touring Ltd.

This melody remains as powerful as it was in 1984. Awesome.
This song gave me so much console when my brother died in 1985. It still connects me to him. Thanks Howard.

My favorite song by Howard, and he still has those incredible vocals. Fabulous.
80s voice and spirit in an old shell. We are 80s kids. We're older. We're gray and wrinkled BUT THE SPIRIT IS IMMORTAL.
Blast from the past. I was 13 when this tune came out. I'll turn 50 in February 21. Amazing reprise. Mr Howard Jones, I'm grateful for this gift.

I can relate to that! I turned 50 in March. Loved mr Jones’ music. And this was awesome, suitable for us as we grow older simultaneously. 💚
I can't help but think that Howard Jones is ridiculously underrated. What a fabulously talented musician and what a ruddy nice bloke! x
What a legend he is. This gives me goosebumps.
琴線に触れる、この曲を聴くと心が震えます。大好きな曲です😊

Hello, how are you?…. I really appreciate your comments, love and support. it’s nice meeting you here.
First time I heard this song was when he performed it on live Aid in 85. He was so young and so was I.
Seldomly in life you see an artist outperform his own creation several decades later. Howard Jones, I love you! Thanks for making the 80s the best time of my life! Hugs and kisses from Thailand 🇹🇭

Howard is such an incredible musician and songwriter, what a beautiful piece of piano work. He is one of the stand out artists that came out of the 80's, and has stood the test of time. He sound better than ever, and this live version is a masterclass. 👏👏👏
"Hope... You find it in everything."
Howard, THANK YOU for all the years you have created music for us, especially FOR THIS song, which I have often played and sung not without a few tears escaping me. Thank you, for being part of my life too, and of a past time in which our youthful carefree spirit allowed us to have a light heart and smiles on our lips. My best bow for you.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Howard Jones we will support you forever 🙏👏♥️♥️♥️
Simply the single most underrated individual, and musician of our time.
I have always loved this song so much, but this... this performance is stunning. Everything from the sound of the piano, the shimmering reverb, and the most emotive performance I've heard. Thank you Mr. Jones for inspiring me all of my life.

Back in the '80s when I was a teenager, I naively thought anyone could play keyboards like Howard Jones and bought one, but that was a big mistake. This video shows what a great musician he is. He is "playing" with the song, adds some improvisation, etc., and on top of that, his voice has not changed at all. Chapeau Howard Jones!
Such a beautiful song...and he still performs it well...
all this time and still sounds amazing! Bravo.
Simplemente hermoso!! Saludos desde Perú
Love you! 💕😘☘🤘✌love kisses luck rock on peace....my favorite song from Howard;) the piano brings tears to my eyes
His voice is is as pure as ever, amazing . legend , I got so much form this genius
We’re missing about 6 zeroes on the end of the viewing figures for this. Just fantastic, what a version.
For me, possibly one of the best songs ever written and I've heard a lot of them being 64! I just wish there were more verses...
Simply beautiful and suddenly I'm a young hopeful boy again. Thanks Howard
I went to the Henry Wood Hall (a former church, used by the Scottish National Orchestra for practice) in Glasgow to see him about 1990. He only had a piano and a girl on percussion, but it was fantastic - he was so down to earth and spoke to everyone who approached him at the end of the concert - truly unforgettable.
This arrangement is OMG!!!
Upholding the spirituality and my love with the Almighty

Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪,, l played the live aid recording of this to my 90 year old Mum today after having lunch in our local pub and I have to say I became very emotional, it transported me back to that warm summer day as a 16 year old with no responsibilities other than doing homework, living in a happy home with brothers and sisters arguing over who gets to see what on our 1 TV 📺....no mobile phones, no TV's in every room, 1 car in the driveway, neighbours who had children the same age as you and 1 landline phone beside the front door.....to survive we need to go back to a more simple life , that is our future,
Absolute 80's, Paying Howard Jones's Mortgage since.....😁😁 Thanks for all of them Mr. Jones.👍
Such a beautiful melody. Never gets old :)
I watched him in a combo concert with Belinda Carlisle and Human League a decade ago and I didn't expect that he'll be my favorite part of the concert. HE'S SO BRILLIANT! His voice is crystal clear and he had a good connection with the audience. Thank you Mr. Jones!
The best song Howard has ever written, and he's written alot of brilliant songs. Get the 12 inch, it's excellent.
One of the best songwriters of his generation.
Masterpiece, Howard. Great job. Thanks.
So beautiful.. powerful.. amazing
Bellissima versione, bravo Howard!
es gibt nicht viele dieser Art von Musikern. Einfach grandios. Vielen Dank
Amazing he sounds just the same as back in the 80ies....awesome =)
After all these years, I never realized there is a period after 'hope' in this, one of my faves by HoJo. I always thought the lyric was "(I) hope you find it in everything." Here at the beginning, Howard says, "Hope. You find it in everything." Changes the meaning ever so slightly.
Thank you for this Howard-back in 84' and beyond. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo Love & Light always!!
I went to an acoustic gig the other night. He played with Robin Boult & Nick Beggs. It's easily the best gig I've ever been to. I've never witnessed better musicianship... proper hair on the back of your neck standing up. So much raw talent... I think I watched the whole show with my jaw hanging open!
The first time I couldn't really understand the meaning of this song, but I felt so much. Now I understand and yes, I found you in me. ❤️❤️❤️😁🌞

I have been a massive fan of Howard all my life .Im two months past my 50th birthday and I still haven't found it with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye this song takes me back to an idyllic childhood distant memories that get clearer each passing year.
Still gives me chills after all these years. This is a masterpiece

So Schön danke für diesen klasse Song
I remember, back in the day, watching an MTV interview (in 84/85) with Howard stating that he normally takes his time in writing songs but he wrote this one on a single Sunday afternoon and somehow did not feel responsible for this song. A very appropriate comment indeed. Thanks Howard for over 40 years of great music.
Dieses Lied ist das Beste und Größte der Welt! Es begleitet mich schon seit Es veröffentlicht wurde und drückt alle Gefühle für mich aus...die ich je hatte. Danke Howard Jones ❤
Just love this song so much, amazing version 👌♥️
What a beautiful pianist. This was one of my favourite tracks from the album. Power ballad in my opinion. Howard still has a superb voice. Yet another much underrated genius. God bless Howard jones. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
