Beautiful song. Actually brought a tear to my eye. Its so wonderful to still have my teenage Hero in my life at almost 50 years of age. Thank you Howard.
In 2006, he said: "My songs are not about drug-taking or debauchery or rock and roll. They're about positive thinking and challenging people's ideas. I wasn't fashionable. I never got good reviews. But I'm proud of the fact that I wasn't liked by the media... Pop music is so reactionary and bigoted. And I found that what's 'cool' is often very shallow and transient." this is why i have respected and loved his music since the 80s, such great talent.
That's why I have always liked Hojo. There is always truth and positive messages to his songs. I might not have been born in the 80s. But I know talent when I see it 😊
@@Delboy591 And I really wish that you, your gran, and your dog were investing your love wisely but this is the worst kind of cheesey pap. Musically it's abysmal, go listen to his older stuff and hear the difference.
Wow!! Howard, you never cease to amaze me!!! Thank you for making our planet a much brighter place with you and your music masterpieces in it!! Much Love to you & your family. Suzanne Idaho
I left school in 87’ and now heading for 49 yrs old. I grew up on music diet of ‘Humans Lib’ and ‘Dream into Action’ Epic legendary albums I still adore today. This track is incredible. Go HOJO 💙
A lot of newer bands are using this sound, first used by Howard back the 80s, and it's great to see HoJo reclaim what's rightfully his. I'm very much looking forward to the new album now.
Great song sir Howard I’m happy for you that you made new music your still going strong and touring I’d love to go see your concert in fallas or Houston Tx bravo I’d love to meet you sir I’m friends with your brothers Paul and Roy this summer I will release time and love a cover of your brothers song he gave me permission and made the backing track it will be a dance version I love the Jones brothers amazing talented you all are 🤗🤗🤗💗💗💗💗🌹🌹😎😎
It's an absolutely fantastic Song. It is melancholic and positiv at the same time. Great changes between major and minor chords especially during the chorus. I also love the totally electronic sounding arrangement.
Yes! Sounds like vintage HoJo, but modern- does that make sense? Just missed HoJo in SLC- Damn! Man, this is awesome music, Howard. Your new stuff is AMAZING!
I was blessed to experience a live performance in March 2020 in Detroit before the pandemic shut down our city, state and country. I hope for us all that we can experience live performances in the foreseeable future. Peace and good health, everyone!
This is great!!! Love the melody, the lyrics, the synths, the visuals, and especially, having you back, Howard. Your voice is as strong and beautiful as ever. I can't wait 'til the CT show and will see you there, cheering you on from the front row. :-) Maybe you can even sign my album??? (Look for me; I'll be wearing a "HOWARD" shirt. ;-) You're still a hero in my eyes!)
Hojo continues to amaze me. I have been a fan since age 12 (1984). His concerts are amazing. His songs are beautiful. If you are just discovering him now, you have years of catching up to do!
Approaching my 50th now; but still excitedly remember Hanging around outside the Albert Hall in 1987 for the One to One tour, and Howard inviting us in to watch his sound check. HoJo Still rocking it in 2019.
You've been a hero in my eyes since 1984. Your music and message are always an inspiration to me. Last year, I drove 700 miles to see you in Austin, TX. I'll be so happy to drive 35 minutes to see you June 22 in Kansas City!
Went to see Howard Jones at the Bridgewater hall theatre in Manchester on Friday and China crisis supported him they were good but when Howard Jones came on stage the stage was empty apart from his piano he did one song then went behind a curtain and he burst into life with new songs and some old songs I went with my wife expecting to listen to his old songs we love but was amazed at the quality of his new songs it just proved to me that age and time doesn't stop you from being as good as you once where this track hero in my eyes was amazingly good so don't stop yet Howard
This is the first video I'm seeing of your wonderful double (Signed!) CD "Transformation" I love the music and the remixes of it too! This vid fit perfectly with what I have there on the beautiful package with all the photos and just plain AWESOMENESS! 💖 🎹 👍 🎵 ❤️
Absolutely love this song! I was listening it in headphones and the noises going from side to side is amazing. The lyrics are so thought provoking too. I'm so glad you're still making new songs Howard!
Yeah!!!! Thumbs up! 👍 It's like a massive grinning smiley sunshine has finally risen from behind a black horizon and delivered a properly awesome right hook to Bad Things.
Absolutely love this song! The effects and surround sounds are amazing!!!! Howard is an absolute legend and I am so glad I heard him from the beginning and can enjoy his new releases too :D
I am REALLY REALLY REEEEALLY impressed with all these new songs. Great job Mr Jones. The production and slickness is sooo well crafted and intelligent sounding. Its like high brow pop art.
The album is quite good. Bought it a few days ago on vinyl on Amazon. Darn missed his NYC SHOW THOUGH. I hope he comes back to NYC. I did a video unboxing in my channel a week ago and show his other LP's I purchased in the 80's. He's an inspiration. Saw him in concert 4 times in the 80's alone. TY for the new album HOJO.
I would LOVE to hear reworked takes on greats like "What is love", "Conditioning", "Pearl in the shell", etc, all done in this updated sonic quality. Ooh, Ooh, AND released with "extended versions" like the old school days.
You are a genius sir, every piece that you make is a masterpiece, thank you for sharing your gift with us, your loyal admirers even with the pass of the time
I didn't realise there was a video to this song until last night (when I was searching for a link to send to a friend for some emotional support). "Win, win!"
You name me another 65 year old guy who can come up with this sort of great synth genius ? Keep going hojo 😄
Beautiful song. Actually brought a tear to my eye. Its so wonderful to still have my teenage Hero in my life at almost 50 years of age. Thank you Howard.
He was born in 1955.
@@ericjohnson1811 Yes and I was born in 1969 making ME 50 this year.
Go see him if you get the chance you won't regret it trust me please
@@darrelwalker8558 Have to say - it is a great tune!!

I'm so happy that you still rock in a sea of sucky music 🔊😍🕪 Thank you Mr. Jones, you're a hero in my eyes 👏👍
It's a nice sentiment and I wish it were true but this is a weak song by any standard. I'm not sure his voice is even in key.
@@TuneHawk rubbish it's a very catchy song. Everyone I have played it to has loved it.
@@Delboy591 And I really wish that you, your gran, and your dog were investing your love wisely but this is the worst kind of cheesey pap. Musically it's abysmal, go listen to his older stuff and hear the difference.
@@TuneHawk ah, there's no bigger snob than the music snob. If only I was as cool as you though, then maybe I'd understand...
@@Delboy591 You're cool Nick, don't be down on yourself.
Im 33 years old in may and i grew up on Howard. His music is the best.
Great song and great visuals. Nice to see those old synths from your early days, too.
Howard has been inspiring me for 36+ years and is still to this day. Stunning.
They don't make synths like they use to in the 80's. Howard you are the king of synths and you truly inspire me. With love from Portland, OR.
Howard Jones has an excellent ear for modulation. Very smooth.
The hero of my youth. The hero in my eyes. Thanks Howard😘👍🏻❗
Bloody awesome Howard, keep doing it . We need more music from you . Legend!!
It's fantastic isn't it
Wow!! Howard, you never cease to amaze me!!! Thank you for making our planet a much brighter place with you and your music masterpieces in it!! Much Love to you & your family. Suzanne Idaho
Thank you for this song during such turbulent & divided times.
Loved it!! True to his music!! Long live HoJo and the 80's!!
I left school in 87’ and now heading for 49 yrs old. I grew up on music diet of ‘Humans Lib’ and ‘Dream into Action’
Epic legendary albums I still adore today.
This track is incredible. Go HOJO 💙
Pretty good. Compared to other new music of today, a masterpiece and reminiscent of the great 80's when Howard was superb.
Lovely..
Brings a smile to my face...🕺😁
"Still be a hero in your eyes..."
A lot of newer bands are using this sound, first used by Howard back the 80s, and it's great to see HoJo reclaim what's rightfully his. I'm very much looking forward to the new album now.
You show the incredible love of parents. They are here with you always. :)
What a cracking song, Mr Jones! Reminds me of your early songs, which I much love! x
Great song sir Howard I’m happy for you that you made new music your still going strong and touring I’d love to go see your concert in fallas or Houston Tx bravo I’d love to meet you sir I’m friends with your brothers Paul and Roy this summer I will release time and love a cover of your brothers song he gave me permission and made the backing track it will be a dance version I love the Jones brothers amazing talented you all are 🤗🤗🤗💗💗💗💗🌹🌹😎😎

HJ still has it. Problem is non-80's kids don't get it! Poor them!
Non 80s girl here 😂 1991 I had posters of Howard Jones. One of the best
Yes! Sounds like vintage HoJo, but modern- does that make sense? Just missed HoJo in SLC- Damn! Man, this is awesome music, Howard. Your new stuff is AMAZING!
He's coming again next month! I'm going!🎉🎉🎉
@@ethanbaum6776 No way me too!
One of the best songs I've heard in years!! Thank you HoJo!

Welcome back Howard. Brilliant Song.My late son had all your music. He was my hero and you were his 🙂
Danke Howard Jones, ich bin ein grosser Fan der ersten Stunde. Ich hoffe, Sie noch einmal Live zu erleben!
Hojo continues to amaze me. I have been a fan since age 12 (1984). His concerts are amazing. His songs are beautiful. If you are just discovering him now, you have years of catching up to do!
First impressions... love it. Return to form from Mr Jones. Looking forward to the new album.

the 80's still alive
Brilliant. Taking me back to my John Hughes Medusa's Chicago high school best years of my life.

Nice synths, drumcomputer and melody. Very emotional. One of his best work and songs.
This song brings me back to my old days when i was a student in London !!!! Such a lovely song !!!
So glad Howard Jones is still at it. Gives me hope!!!!!😄☺😎
Loveky song Angela
I swear Howard is from another dimension , sent to educate us about our ignorance towards one another !
Nice song
Saw Howard Jones a couple weeks ago in Salt Lake City…wow, what a talented and sweet soul.

Back to the original synth trio from 1982 I see :)
Good song. 8/10. I still crave for Hide'n Seek kind of ballad.
Hide and Seek on 12" single is my all time favourite!
So looking forward to TONIGHT!!!! Go HoJo!
Fabulous song ! Great Howard 😎 ! Can't wait to see you on May 23th in Birmingham (VIP ticket)
Just fan 🇫🇷 ! ❤️👏
Sounds great. Glad to see he’s still got it.

Thank you.

Used to love my Sequential Circuits Pro One in the 80's!...Wish i still had it
My seven-year-old girl couldn't stop dancing to this, so I danced with her. Let me be her hero just a little longer. Please.
You are a genius sir, every piece that you make is a masterpiece, thank you for sharing your gift with us, your loyal admirers even with the pass of the time
A voice of experience sharing your experience. Many thanks.
Just got back from this concert. Boy can HoJo put on a show. ABSOLUTELY LOVED the remixing of his own stuff live! Go see this show. You will love it!
Jupiter 8 joy! Loving these new songs... Retro Hojo is back!
Amazing
Love it, making modern music with vintage equipment I still enjoying my Yamaha DX7.
I didn't realise there was a video to this song until last night (when I was searching for a link to send to a friend for some emotional support). "Win, win!"
Absolutely Fantastic
Beautiful tune
Cannot wait for my double signed CD to arrive in May - still happy to be member 04332 of the original HoJo fan club in High Wycombe :-)
Maybe the best song of 2019!!
It's completely AWESOME Howard! 💜 💖 ❤️
A lot of classic elements. Great tune. Come back to Australia!
It's time for Howard Jones... again!
Damn, this song is beautiful. Never heard his music before but I'm into it.
LOVIN it man!!! The sound, the vibe, your lyrical flow... superb!
Love it!
You will always be a hero in my eyes HoJo. You are an amazing soul
Shut up y'all, the master is back!
He never left!
Classic 80s arrangement. Nice song!
