When you grasp the true meaning and the reality of it all it is very moving. This one forgotten 80's song lays out in beautiful simplicity the actual history of our universe. Take this song as the truth of the matter, melding the core of all major religions into a 5 minute song. There is the single creative spirit, his creation and creative counterpart Indian traditions call Shiva and Shiva's dance being the Hide and Seek. I would suggest anyone interested in exploring this to look up two terms. "Ein Sof" and "Solar Logos". This song is quite simply about Ein Sof and Solar Logos.
BTW the hide and seek is birth and death .... so that with each new life you must seek again. At the end of the day there is only one consciousness. Our small portion of consciousness contained in our temporary vessel/body must learn and forget over and over again.
Howard Jones was a giant of the eighties. His synthesiser expertise was obvious. The songs that went with them hauntingly brilliant. Hide and seek was my fave being a twenty year old at that time. I salute you SIR for your contribution to the eighties scene. If I get a reply that would be the icing on the cake.
Absolutely, this is hauntingly brilliant masterpiece with very clever lyrics and incredible use of keyboards producing mouth watering sounds that flow beautifully
Oj jak ja dawno nie slyszalam tego utworu. To był jeden z lepszych kawałków lat 80tych. Kocham muzyke lat 80tych. H.J. jeden z tych ktorzy wnieśli wkład niesamowitej muzy tamtych czasów. Ta piosenka jedna z tych Naj!
What a talented guy. He should be in the hall of fame. This song gives me tears tbh. A timeless masterpiece that should be played when mankind is gone like a legacy of soul and passion in an eternal void. A powerful message of a civilization that existed for a short time in the universe. Maybe no one will ever hear or understand it when we are gone but Howard was one of the best in an era when music was the ultimate expression of feelings and artistic excellence
Yeah, HoJo 😉 didnt get his props. They liked dismissing these 80s musicians as one hit wonders & Im guessing they werent big fans of synthesizers either. But there were some really good artists that continued to put out great music, even to this day, but are still only considered as 80s one hit wonders.
Bought this single in '84 and the song has stayed with me ever since, utterly wonderful and as deep as the Universe.... I hope you find it in everything you see. Thanks, Howard.
Oh God, I miss the 1980s. I bought Human's Lib as a wide-eyed 18-year old. I had a job, a car, great friends, cool bars and pubs to hang out in. Exuberance and possibilities ruled the day and the future promised even better to come. Take me back. We were completely lied to. This time period is a dystopian nightmare!!!!
I think we were riding the wave of a post ww2 economy and the prosperity for some was reflected in the music, fashion and art. Ultimately, it was all an illusion. If you take a step back and look what record companies did, they sold things made from oil and trees. They used musical and graphic art to do it. The 80s was not great for everybody. The UK manufacturing, ship building or mining industries for example. It was a horrible time for them as their jobs were deemed unessential, 40 years before the rest of us were told the same thing. But I agree, the distraction was better than reality. Plug me back into the Matrix.
Possibly the most genuine and authentic of all of the 80's acts. He appears to have great metaphysical knowledge. I always turn to a bit of Howard when the world feels too hard.
Howard Jones came to a little church in Northern Virginia in the 90’s and I waited in a long line to thank him for kinda saving my life. With this song especially, at a time I was negotiating these same turbulent channels and challenges. It was so sweet, his response. I will never forget his wisdom and kindness.
As everyone is saying Howard...all of your music are masterpieces...I'm finding comfort listening to it, just lost my father 5 days after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer & my Mom is not long for this world either. Thank you for letting me lose myself in your hard work Howard. Music is so powerful...as I know you've known all along. God Bless & Thank you
There was a time when I thought this was the best song ever made. Sometimes I still do.....Once and a while, I do miss the eighties. Considering the comments, I'm not the only 1....
Girls you little liars lol!!! You might have loved Howard's brilliant music but i don't remember girls fancying him or thinking he was hot they were drooling over George Michael,Sting,Bros,Duran Duran,David van Day etc Young boys had to dream of Therese Bazaar,Kim Wilde,Madonna(ok but not sexy)and Sabrina Salerno who could turn a boy into a man she didn't have many songs but she did have some big hits(or have i made a spelling mistake)!
There was a time when there was nothing at all Nothing at all, just a distant hum There was a being and he lived on his own He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do He drew up the plans, learnt to work with his hands A million years passed by and his work was done And his words were these... Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it, hope you find it Hope you find me in you So she had built her elaborate home With it's ups and it's downs, its rains and its sun She decided that her work was done, time to have fun and she found a game to play Then as part of the game She completely forgot where she'd hidden herself And she spent the rest of her time Trying to find the parts Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see Hope you find it, hope you find it Hope you find me in you There was a time when there was nothing at all, nothing at all Just a distant hum
Brings back great and good memories when life was more enjoying in comparison to nowadays.Timeless piece of musical art, better than all that bullshit these days!!
It’s a no-brainer. A free,exuberant and dynamic time period compared to a horrid, soulless prison planet that we’re suffering under now.... I’d give anything to feel that excitement now!
Howard Jones is a renaissance man of which we shall not appreciate enough until his music is past us. This song talks of the ages and breaches our political and religious biases. It has had a deep impact on my life when it needed to be so. I hope it speaks to you as well.
Just breathtaking. Takes me back to collage days and roaming around the photographic studios while other students were doing their thing. This was often blaring from the little transistor "gettoblasters" of the day.
This is a track of pure beauty. My favourite Howard Jones song. I remember him playing "Hide and Seek" live on TOTP. A calculated risk perhaps, but the performance was simply stunning 🧡
Howard and Jed.Takes me back to the magical time's that were the eighties,watching them both on Top of the Pops.Where is Jed now. I wish him well, whatever he is doing .
The sentiments expressed in this song have always reached right in, pulled at my heartstrings & then my tears fall. Poignant, powerful, sensitive & so very beautiful.
I am an 80s kid...wish i could go back in time for a few days...today is much much better in so many ways but there was a magic in the 80s or maybe its because i was a kid and thought the world was my oyster... untill i worke up and discovered it wasn't and just got slapped pushed and kicked from life like everyone else. Nostalgia has a way of transporting us back to a more innocent time
Absolutely beautiful - a part of my soul - with the ultimate universal theme - that's why this song will never date. I hope young people find it. We can all relate. Thanks Howie.
Easily one of the greatest musicians of the 1980s.....I loved him when I was a kid....and I love his music even now....to me, he's timeless.....on you, Hazza....
We used to go the Marquee in Wardour Street every time Howie played. The best solo performer ever. Watching him smash that bak of keyboards while following the drum machine was mesmerising. Followed his gigs round the UK and clicked with Goldiggers in Chippenham. A few years later, went back to see what the old club was like and then spent the next year banging tunes to their massive soundsystem and suspended light rig. Soul 2 Soul and Inner City were the tracks...
Had Humans Lib on cassette tape when it was first released. Wore this section of the tape out playing this song over and over and over. Stunning track. Still have original programme from Dream into Action tour mid 80's. Saw him at the N.E.C, Birmingham. Truly awesome concert that created a memory for life. Just today purchased Humans Lib on vinyl in mint condition, can't wait to get it on the deck. Thanks for posting these songs, brilliant memory lane trip !!!
I'm never tired of hearing this it takes me back to my eighties childhood days of college. Now I'm 54 and I listen to the lyrics and I'm always haunted by the melody and subject. I'm still trying to find what I seek
Howard jones had so many great songs you never,ever hear on any so called 80s music radio station etc,let alone a commercial station. All you ever hear is what is love or new song.He was just as big as any of the 80s stars,and yet hes rarely mentioned in that conversation. I bought absolutely everything he did in the 80s,including all the 12" singles. Great songs like this,and others like no one is to blame etc just lost in the music wilderness. You have to love youtube really, for trying to keep great work like this reachable to the masses.
I am transported back in time when I hear this song to a special time with a special someone listening to this song. We have the songs to take us back to those special times. Such sweet good memories.
Love that atmospheric sound at the beginning. I grew-up listening to his first album Human's Lib all the time. I can see him playing the famous Yamaha DX7 around 1:10. Definitely his music influenced me to love electronic music of the 80's. I bought my DX7 in 1986 and loving ever since. those vintage synths like the Roland Jupiter-8 and Yamaha DX7 are still amazing synths, much better sounds that those modern synths, as they have such a characteristic sound. Evolving and powerful music......... Love the 80's music!

Yes and a game we all consent to play before we arrive here.. The real purpose of each life experience is to learn lessons about the self and to progress on a spiritual level for each lesson we learn.. We are all connected as one because we all come from the same source where we all go back to eventually… This planet is merely a breif encounter we experience as a spiritual being living a human exsistence and is a test to see how we deal with certain aspects of this life that we encounter… The line he sings ‘hope you find me in you’ is a perfect example of how spiritual Howard jones is because what he means is that we are all intrinsically linked as one from the same source so you are me and I am you and we’re merely a different expression of the same source energy… I don’t mind admitting this song brings tears everytime I hear it because as things stand people are so divided by opinions politics and religion they will never realise we are all actually the same and from the same place where we will go back to at the end of this lifetime experience
Why isn't music like this anymore it's such a shame the world would be such a different place if it was as music is and always been important to the soul
Totally agree. Problem now is you have a certain limited number of song writers in the music industry that write mediocre songs. Ie they are rubbish. We need more independent artists again. Yes the word Artist actually to mean artist not karaoke.
HoJo was a very important influence in high school. And this song resonates. I remember running this down over and over on vinyl. So profound and elegant. "Nothing at all... just a distant hum..."
Oh goodness, I forgot about this incredible song. So glad I found it again, 80's all the way, great memories, simple times for me as a child, then we grew up, so glad I can re- live through YT! Thanks for sharing.
By far his best in my opinion . So melodic and thought provoking . I always thought that Howard Jones was very under rated but this along with all his other songs have stood the test of time and sound as good today as they did when they first came out. I wish I could go back to the 80's !!!!!
Deep. There was a being and he lived on his own he had no one to talk to and nothing to do. Could describe me. But through choice. Pop music and asking the meaning of life. Howard Jones is a genius. Not sure u will find it walking down the street but who knows.
@@onesong2001 you're taking shit, both those two artists came out with awesome songs, both Howard & nik played a big part in my life back then, was always listening to their albums.
I bought Humans Lib when it came out in 1984. It's only now, 34 years later that I got it- Humans Liberation, the lyrics throughout his work are truly inspirational. A great musician, song-writer and human being!

Timeless tune ! So reminds me of my childhood growing up in the 80’s. Best decade of music EVER !

A 3-hit and counting wonder by the time of this song.
He is incredible so talented and underrated
One of the '80's defining male artists for sure.
Great vocalist !!
This song is a masterpiece. I Wish i can come back to eighties.... I was so young, and music was so beautiful!

This whole song came to Howard in a dream evidently. It's a download from heaven.
Nice post. Thank you
Wow. Never knew that.
No, I've emailed Howard a while ago. This is the result of his Buddhistic researches...

There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all, just a distant hum
There was a being and he lived on his own
He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do
He drew up the plans, learnt to work with his hands
A million years passed by and his work was done
And his words were these...
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it, hope you find it
Hope you find me in you
So she had built her elaborate home
With it's ups and it's downs, its rains and its sun
She decided that her work was done, time to have fun
and she found a game to play
Then as part of the game
She completely forgot where she'd hidden herself
And she spent the rest of her time
Trying to find the parts
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything, everything that you see
Hope you find it, hope you find it
Hope you find me in you
There was a time when there was nothing at all, nothing at all
Just a distant hum
So beautiful
Brings back great and good memories when life was more enjoying in comparison to nowadays.Timeless piece of musical art, better than all that bullshit these days!!
What a beautiful song, absolutely stunning music and lyrics. Who’s here in 2020?

You never left the 1980's; time just moves on; like the rest of us fortunate to live those times.

And Howard Jones you are a true music legend for me.. You are great brother I've allways protect you in a loving way I do gen whant to me you you legend. 😘😘😘😘❤️💚💙💚❤️💚💙💜💜💜😊

I'm an old punk rocker but i can appreciate this timeless beuitiful classic
Simply stunning xx
Anyone who understands this song, well done.
For you understand the entire purpose of creation is nothing more than a wonderful game.
Yes and a game we all consent to play before we arrive here..
The real purpose of each life experience is to learn lessons about the self and to progress on a spiritual level for each lesson we learn..
We are all connected as one because we all come from the same source where we all go back to eventually…
This planet is merely a breif encounter we experience as a spiritual being living a human exsistence and is a test to see how we deal with certain aspects of this life that we encounter…
The line he sings ‘hope you find me in you’ is a perfect example of how spiritual Howard jones is because what he means is that we are all intrinsically linked as one from the same source so you are me and I am you and we’re merely a different expression of the same source energy…
I don’t mind admitting this song brings tears everytime I hear it because as things stand people are so divided by opinions politics and religion they will never realise we are all actually the same and from the same place where we will go back to at the end of this lifetime experience
Love this song so much very haunting. The synths are absolutely fantastic
'There was a time when there was nothing at all... nothing at all... just a distant hum...' How true.
34 years later - I'd forgotten how good song this is (and how much I loved it). Phenomenal music - goosebumps
Why isn't music like this anymore it's such a shame the world would be such a different place if it was as music is and always been important to the soul
The difference then was Musicians, now all we have is performers.
Totally agree. Problem now is you have a certain limited number of song writers in the music industry that write mediocre songs. Ie they are rubbish. We need more independent artists again. Yes the word Artist actually to mean artist not karaoke.
This song is so good it never got the respect for the deep philosophical message and amazing craftsmanship
I was nearly eighteen when this came out. I had my tape player and tapes - albums of Howard Jones and Nik Kershaw round that time
This song still creeps me out. Not a bad song but just… eerie.
I love this! 2019
Such positive music thank you.
HoJo was a very important influence in high school. And this song resonates. I remember running this down over and over on vinyl. So profound and elegant. "Nothing at all... just a distant hum..."
Oh goodness, I forgot about this incredible song. So glad I found it again, 80's all the way, great memories, simple times for me as a child, then we grew up, so glad I can re- live through YT! Thanks for sharing.
WOOOOW SO BEAUTIFUL. .IT'S A MASTERPIECE ♥
By far his best in my opinion . So melodic and thought provoking . I always thought that Howard Jones was very under rated but this along with all his other songs have stood the test of time and sound as good today as they did when they first came out. I wish I could go back to the 80's !!!!!
A Buddhist and deep thinker ,it shows,
Deep. There was a being and he lived on his own he had no one to talk to and nothing to do. Could describe me. But through choice. Pop music and asking the meaning of life. Howard Jones is a genius. Not sure u will find it walking down the street but who knows.
No
An absolute classic by the very talented Mr Jones.
Those were the days!Howard Jones,Nick Kershaw!So love to go back to those times!
Nik Kershaw sucked big time.
@@onesong2001 you're taking shit, both those two artists came out with awesome songs, both Howard & nik played a big part in my life back then, was always listening to their albums.
@@Frostie3672 I was a fan of the wombles but I'm not gay for them 40 years later.
Howard Jones wow love his music 👋👋👋👋
masterpiece
His "non-hit" songs are so brilliant.
Amazing video of the Cosmic Unity of the Male and Female! And the potential for that Unity to shine through our relationships!
Wow! Finally i've found this song, after so many years. What a feeling.
I love this song by Howard Jones 👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎
Beautiful man, beautiful song, beautiful voice, Howard is one talented musician.
The song is amazing.
1984 was a time when you could release a song like this among your other hits and still succeed!
I bought Humans Lib when it came out in 1984. It's only now, 34 years later that I got it- Humans Liberation, the lyrics throughout his work are truly inspirational. A great musician, song-writer and human being!
Seen Howard Jones in concert 1984 and going to see him may 2019.
