Horizon
JON ANDERSON VANGELIS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silencing the thought powers one by one
It seems all so incredible
Our own ability to confuse, to sacrifice
To enlighten like a Shakespearian play
We foolish and happily hold on to sanity
While all around the pushing
And prodding of our feelings
Displaying an almost indefinable strength
Of purpose, a reason, a reason, a reason
Where no reasons seems to exist
Yet, as in a vision, a voice transcending
All our imagination, jewel of life
Guiding light heralding a joyous new dawn
Clear and gifted time
Divine nature, super nature
The supreme gift of knowledge and space
In this cacophony of life
[Chorus:]
Peace will come
Peace will come
Peace will come
Will come
Peace will come
Peace will come
Peace will come
Will come true horizon
Come true horizon
Come true horizon
Come true horizon
[Chorus]
Peace will come [Repeat x 3]
Will come
Reach for the starlight
Reach when it calls you
You, you are the reason
If you want
You are the answer in the end
La la la's...
Sweet music, and your secret heart
Both have the healing grace
Sweet music, and your secret heart
Both have the healing grace
So again, a change, it comes
Our world desires a way
Touch a child who's lost, afraid,
It lifts you to true emotion
True feelings, be the light
All that is good in this life
Is good, good is good
Oh everlasting dream, oh future come alive
To witness comes that time
I just can't help but believe in life,
All in all I just can't help but believe there is a way
For us to give, a way for us to live
A way for us, a way for us

Line by Line Meaning
In amongst the rings of confusion
Amidst chaos and uncertainty
Silencing the thought powers one by one
The overwhelming confusion is hindering one's ability to think clearly
It seems all so incredible
The situation is hard to believe, almost surreal
Our own ability to confuse, to sacrifice
Human tendency to create confusion and make sacrifices
To enlighten like a Shakespearian play
To bring enlightenment through a dramatic experience
We foolish and happily hold on to sanity
Despite the confusion, humans are holding onto their sanity
While all around the pushing
While external forces are pushing
And prodding of our feelings
And provoking our emotions
The twisting and turning of our hearts
The emotional turmoil within us
Displaying an almost indefinable strength
Showing a strength that is hard to define
Of purpose, a reason, a reason, a reason
Despite the chaos, there is still a sense of purpose that seems to repeat itself
Where no reasons seems to exist
Even when there seem to be no reasons for it
Yet, as in a vision, a voice transcending
But suddenly, a transcendent voice like a vision emerges
All our imagination, jewel of life
It surpasses our imagination and is a precious jewel of life
Guiding light heralding a joyous new dawn
A guiding light that signals a new, joyful beginning
Clear and gifted time
A period of clarity and giftedness
Divine nature, super nature
A super natural divine intervention
The supreme gift of knowledge and space
The ultimate gift of knowledge and space
In this cacophony of life
In the jarring and chaotic noise of life
Peace will come
A hope that peace will eventually come
Will come true horizon
A future where peace will truly reign
Reach for the starlight
Attempt to reach for your dreams
Reach when it calls you
Take the opportunity when it presents itself
You, you are the reason
You are the reason for your own success
If you want
It all depends on what you want
You are the answer in the end
Ultimately, you have the answers within you
Sweet music, and your secret heart
Music and your innermost desires can have a healing effect
Both have the healing grace
Both can be instrumental in healing
So again, a change, it comes
Change comes again
Our world desires a way
The world is yearning for a solution
Touch a child who's lost, afraid,
Help a lost and frightened child
It lifts you to true emotion
It brings out your true emotions
True feelings, be the light
Let your true feelings shine through
All that is good in this life
In this life, goodness prevails
Is good, good is good
Goodness begets more goodness
Oh everlasting dream, oh future come alive
An eternal dream of a future that comes alive
To witness comes that time
The time for it to happen is approaching
I just can't help but believe in life,
I have faith and confidence in life
All in all I just can't help but believe there is a way
No matter what, I believe there is always a solution
For us to give, a way for us to live
There is a way for us to thrive and contribute to the world
A way for us, a way for us
There is always a path forward for us to take

@@bigjimtanguk7525 Creativity is: How you use it ? What quality level the composer and musician give for himself ?
A current good example is the german band Schiller, with the chief creator Christopher von Deyle.
In every decade there were and are only a few talents for this high level electronic music.
Today with the computers it is easier and cheaper. More people can make electronic music. A creative talent can explore his music easier, as in the past.
But talent and creativity for this kind of music you have it, or not.

This is by far the best song ever done by "Jon & Vangelis"! .... There's not very much else to be said! about it! ... it's also the best song on their "Private Collection" album! which also happens to be their very best album ever!..even if not in sales terms, at least it is so artistically! and musically! and it's also their best album ever for each one of them as individual artists! because none of their solo projects comes even close to the beauty of this album!.... something really good even for them! being two of the best music artists ever! too! be it alone or in their musical groups! ...When this was recorded and released back in 1983 this was really ahead of its time! ....and it is still so! today!... even now at these 2021 pandemic times! and standards!.... so this is really something timeless! ....really everlasting!... When it was done by them they both were in the their very highest point of their already excellent musical careers! ...and it really shows on this very special album!... and in this song in particular! ...so there's no wonder on the fact that after this album and this song they only could make only one more rather little and mediocre album together! because it was obviously impossible to make a better album! after this one! even for them!.... so I guess that was the main reason on why they both decided not to make any other album together! ever again!.... because it was just impossible to make something better than that album! even for them! as I said!....when I heard this album for the very first time back in 1983 it really blew my mind! I mean: nothing could really be compared to it back then! ...and nothing could still be compared to it even today in the year 2021!... still nothing can be compared to it! ....back in that faraway 1983 I was only a little young and humble 18 year old student! and yet the beauty of this song brought me then to tears! back then!...and it still does the same to me now! that I am a 56 years old!.... I mean: in this very increíble album with this excellent song: "Horizons" is really their very best song! ever! musically and lyrically! because it's not just the very good music!... it's also the very good lyrics!.... because those lyrics are so incredibly good! that they even make feel a little disapointed with this video! now! because this video has nothing to do related to those very beautiful lyrics!... and that's a shame! because this video it's not just another bad video from some other strange Youtuber!... in fact this video was suposedly uploaded (if not done) by the very same author of these very beautiful lyrics! which is something rather strange! to say the least! 'cause it has nothing related to the incredibly beautiful content of those very beautiful lyrics of this song! and the only way to express better this point is to write again those very beautiful lyrics!... so here they are!:
"Horizons"
by "Jon & Vangelis":
In amongs the rings of confusion
Silencing the thought powers one by one
It seems all so incredible
Our own ability to confuse - to sacrifice
To enlighten like a Shakespearian play
We foolish and happily hold on to sanity
While all around the pushing
And prodding of our feelings
The twisting and turning of our hearts
Displaying an almost indefinable strenght
Of purpose - a reason, a reason, a reason
Where no reasons seem to exist
Yet, as in a vision, a voice trascending
All our imagination, jewel of life
Guiding light heralding a joyous new dawn
Clear and gifted time
Divine Nature - Super Nature
The supreme gift in this cacophony of life
Peace will Come
Peace will Come
Peace will Come
Will Come!
Peace will Come
Peace will Come
Peace will Come
Will Come true Horizon!
Come true Horizon
Come true Horizon
Come true Horizon
Peace will Come
Peace will Come
Peace will Come
Will Come!
Reach for the starlight
Reach when it calls you
You, you are the reason
If you want
You are the answer in the end
La la la's
Sweet music, and your secret heart
Both have the healing grace
So, again, a change, it comes
Our world desires a way
Touch a child, who's lost, afraid,
It lifts you to true emotion
True feelings, be the light
All that is good in this life
Is good, good is good
Oh everlasting dream, Oh future come alive
To witness comes that time
I just can help but believe in life,
All in all I just can't help but believe there is a way
For us to give, a way for us to live
A way for us, A way for us ...

But you can repay him. Pray for the family he left behind. Pray for the safe travels of his soul .....

The voice of Jon Anderson is a gift on that amazing music of Vangelis 😍❤

Vangelis died yesterday. No greater tribute than to listen to his eternal compositions.
@juanamariasoliscastellanos4155
Inconmensurable, el dúo John and Vangelis, genios de la música, sensibilidad infinita, dulzura, alma al descubierto... Maravilla, no puedo más que estarles agradecida, infinitamente... Ojalá nos encontremos en el más allá, dónde debe estar soñando, con sus estrellas.....

One of my favorite Vangelis tracks I’m heartbroken that we lost such an amazing musician. Your work will not be lost in time. Fly high maestro we’ll see you again.🕊🎹✨✨
