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.
My favorite song by Howard, and he still has those incredible vocals. Fabulous.
This song gave me so much console when my brother died in 1985. It still connects me to him. Thanks Howard.
😔🤗
You found me in you. Lucky me. 🙏❤
I’m speechless. I can only cry.
I realize I am pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
My mother in 82. helped me through dark times
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.
Oh Howard Jones. You will forever sooth my soul. Just beautiful ❤️
Hello,
thank you for being a fan.Your love and support towards my music is well appreciated ❤️❤️

When music hits you, it’s fantastic.
I feel we get closer to the truth through music.
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😊
Fantastic! 😔
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. 👏👏👏
Amazing vocals Howard, I love this song, it is one of my all time favourites.
Breathtakingly beautiful! 👏👏👏👏
Such a very deep song, always loved it, always will. Just a distant hum...
❤❤
Wow, he is just amazing! I love all his music...a fan forever❤
Hello, how are you?…. I really appreciate your comments, love and support. it’s nice meeting you here.
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.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
Perfectly summed up…I fully agree…I feel lucky to have watched this video…
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Howard Jones we will support you forever 🙏👏♥️♥️♥️
"Hope... You find it in everything."
My FAVORITE song off of Humans Lib! SO MANY MEMORIES!!!! I wanna go back!! Getting old sux! 😭😭😭
I'm going back with you, il just grab my Harrington jacket!
👍😎
Was a great time and a brilliant album by the master. 50 yrs old now and miss them days.
I absolutely HATE getting old!!!😩😩😩😩🤦🏽♀️♥️
This song is in my mind over 40 years , so beautiful, timeless, ageless. Thank you Howard for your amazing voice and never forgotten lirycs. Greetings from Toronto eh 🇨🇦🎧❤👍
I knew you were an excellent pianist but I had not heard this piece. It really shows off your ability and the piece is beautiful!
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 🇹🇭
You have worded this beautifully
@@JulieRushworth Thanksalot, Julie! All the best to you and your family!
I am sat here crying my eyes out. Thank you for such a gift. I remember how it made me cry then, too. Whoa. Music.
Me too, makes me cry every time.
Not an old mans voice 👍🏻
Hes not an old man, cheeky :)
@@Bikerboythousand He's like a fine wine ;D
all this time and still sounds amazing! Bravo.
Awesome rendition! Bravo! Encore! thunderous applause!
Simply the single most underrated individual, and musician of our time.
You are an incredible musician!
Brilliant performance. I felt that!
Thank you 💓🙏🏽
Simplemente hermoso!! Saludos desde Perú
Such a beautiful melody. Never gets old :)
I always find it in you, Sir. 🙏
So beautiful.. powerful.. amazing
In 2024 this song will always remain eternal even in a million years from now, bless you Howard
OH! A double meaning in "hope you find it"! Am I understanding that right? Whether or not that was what was meant (I believe it is, based on the comment in the beginning and Howard's propensity toward positive messages), it was a nice surprise that makes me smile.
Just got that too!!
Hope. You find it in everything.
Hope you find It in everything.
Simply beautiful and suddenly I'm a young hopeful boy again. Thanks Howard
This was one of the first songs I bought with my pocket money and me and my late Dad would sit around the record player singing our hearts out. This years on has only got better and is always in my heart Thank you for that Howard. Love the arrangement brings memories wonderful
Thank you for being a fan ❤️❤️
Absolutely beautiful, thank you Howard. Looking forward to seeing you again, hopefully in Canada.
Wow I guess I wasn’t really a fan. Never heard this before. Soooooo aetherial and sublime.
Always loved this man and what an incredible version of this version 🙏🙏🙏
Love you! 💕😘☘🤘✌love kisses luck rock on peace....my favorite song from Howard;) the piano brings tears to my eyes
Bellissima versione, bravo Howard!
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...
Wonderful ❤️ I remember when you played it in Live Aid ❤️❤️
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!
One of the most vastly underrated artists to come out of the 80's, Elton John and Co sound crap compared to him live tbh nowadays.
Thank you so much Howard for make me a Dreaming.👏👏👏👏🔝🔝🔝🔝
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.
Always thought yours was the standout five minutes at LiveAid, this is so much more , a lifetime of experience to add to a young man's performance
Beautiful!
Thank you for this Howard-back in 84' and beyond. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo Love & Light always!!
As beautiful listening today as it was over 40 years ago
Masterpiece, Howard. Great job. Thanks.
pure love and energy in this song version. i turned 50 in september. yes howard i found it and its glorious x
my favorite
Thank you for being a fan ❤❤
It doesn't need anything more than a grand piano and an extraordinary, beautiful voice ❤ thank you for this reduced tune! Hope to see you next year in Stuttgart ... and put the grand piano in the tour-truck 😎
Fabulous. My favourite HJ song
muy buemnissimno fantastic mrs hermossimno
Howard, this is a breathtaking rendition of Hide and Seek - my favourite song of yours. It has moved me to tears. Thank you.
Hello,
thank you for being a fan.Your love and support towards my music is well appreciated ❤️❤️
Hello, how are you? Thanks for being a fan, liking my page, and for the support you showered on me, I hope you never stop listening to our music and watching our musical videos..
Thanks for this fantastic song! I have always loved it. 💖
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.
Masterpiece. Thank you for this. It touches my broken heart deeply, every time. Big fan since Live Aid!
Beautiful.....Saw you do this same song in Honolulu at the Blue Note....that was amazing!
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!
This arrangement is OMG!!!
Stunning. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could afford to buy the album, but times are tough.
Great song and thats a fab Hall reverb on the piano. I've got a Jupiter X now ;) Looks good next to the 8 :D
Wow incredible Howard!! Your piano skills and vocals really shine and pronounce in this performance!! You brought tears to my eyes and I got goosebumps. Love you man!!
great musician!
Howard.
Thanks for knowing that your ongoing interpretations of your songs keeps these messages in our minds. The spirituality of your words and music are what the soul needs on a daily basis
I played this dec 13 1984 in school. I didn't sing though but I had programmed a Roland TR 707 drum machine to play the rhythm and the rest I played on my Roland Juno 106, I was 14 at the time. Now I have made a cover of this song with all the bells and whistles in Pro Tools. I may put it on my channel soon, if possible.
So perfect! 😎
《Revised》・・・under establishment⇨probabilistically
Hide and seek.
Yes. Relation between humankind and quantum
Seems like "hide and seek".
ーquantum effectー
An effect peculiar to quantum mechanics. Basic physical quantities such as energy take discrete values, take probabilistic values rather than deterministic values, have wave-like properties, and follow the principle of superposition. Specifically, quantum effects appear in physical phenomena such as tunnel effect, superconductivity, and superfluidity.
As I've written yesterday... we, humankind, are not able to see quantum(elementary particles).
Discrete values.
Probabilistic values.
And superposition.
These are principal reasons that we are not able to see quantum.
(A)What does discrete values show us?
Uhmm... uhmm... can I express like this...?
Quantum works like digital, not analog.
Digital takes 1,2,3...(discrete)
Analog takes 1.1〜1.2〜1.3〜...(continue)
(B)What does probabilistic values show us?
We can not predict where quantum will appear exactly.
But we can predict where quantum will appear probabilistically.
And... something(under black hole-like effect?) makes quantum take probabilistic values.
This means that quantum can not take 1.1〜1.2〜1.3〜...(continue)
(C)What does superposition show us?
Quantum works like wave.
However... quantum is material...
Can we know something from (A)〜(C)?
Quantum may have tremendous energy collectively.
Because quantum takes discrete(1,2,3...) values.
Discrete values have possibility to be continued almost forever(please imagine
Nuclear power).
This energy works probabilistically...
Can't we say that quantum's energy works like solar flare?
And, quantum works like light. Because light works as wave and also as material.
Energy, light are factors of quantum, from (A)〜(C).
Well, how was quantum established?
I think that quantum was born at the beginning of universe
Or before the beginning of universe.. anyhow very close to the beginning
Of universe.
This theme is asking us how the universe was born...
At least, we, humankind, know the big bang.
By the way, from general theory of relativity,
Nothing is faster than light(Light has energy even though mass of light is zero.)。
Relativity... certainly profound.
Well, good night and sweet dream to you ∂ . ∂ v
the perfect summary of what life is about, nothing more...nothing less.
I´m into every kind of music, pop rock metal industrial you name it but this is probably my favourite song ever. Along with La Verite (Classix...) Hey Jupiter (Tori...) You and Your friend (T-Ride) Radioland (Kraftwerk) Me Where (Baby Teardrops) Floating World (Cacophony) Livin' the Dream (Bumblefoot) and probably something with about a gasillion other bands and peoples...
Truly an outstanding piece of art
We see us again in Cologne , on the 15th of November 2022 ! Will you know me at all after 35 years???? Guess it will be a surprise for both of us ! Looking forward! Surprise..surprise.. ❤️🎹🥰👏🎤
His voice is is as pure as ever, amazing . legend , I got so much form this genius
Absolutely beautiful vocalist and wonderful tune
what a fantastic musician ... thank you Howard .. for all that pleasure with you rmusic
Not heard this version before. Stunningly beautiful.
Absolutely stunning. Howard, I love the acoustic arrangement of this, and your singing is better than ever. Thank you so much for signing my 45 of "Hide and Seek" at Mohegan Sun last year. I wish I could have attended your cancelled Norwalk show too, but I'm very much looking forward to receiving the live CD.

Hello,
thank you for being a fan.Your love and support towards my music is well appreciated ❤️❤️
Maybe he is thinking: "Hey, some 35 years ago I was playing that in front of 100.000 people. They seem like the twinkle of an eye...".
Just beautiful.
And: now a Buddhist, would he still chose the same lyrics?
What a beautiful rendition! Thank you Howard!
My favourite song period, thankyou for the amazing memories Howard.
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!
Just love this song so much, amazing version 👌♥️
Fabulous! Encore!
The best song Howard has ever written, and he's written alot of brilliant songs. Get the 12 inch, it's excellent.
Absolute 80's, Paying Howard Jones's Mortgage since.....😁😁 Thanks for all of them Mr. Jones.👍
Still a perfect, beautiful voice. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
