Horizon
Jon & Vangelis/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
In the opening verse of Jon & Vangelis's song "Horizon," the writers delve into the human experience and our ability to muddle our own thoughts and emotions. They liken our struggles to a Shakespearean play, reflecting on our tendency to hold onto our sanity while everything around us seems to push and prod at our feelings. Despite the confusion and chaos of life, there is a voice of reason that guides us towards a joyous new dawn, a horizon of peace. This chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the theme of finding peace and hope in the midst of uncertainty.
The second verse of the song is a call to action, encouraging listeners to reach for the starlight and be the reason for positive change in the world. The writers emphasize the healing power of music and the human heart, calling on us to touch those who are lost and afraid and lift them up towards true emotion and feelings of light. The song ends with the message that there is always a way for us to give and live, a way for us to believe in the future and witness the hopeful dawn of a new horizon.

In amongst the rings of confusion
Amidst the chaos and disorder of life
Silencing the thought powers one by one
Gradually losing control of our minds and thoughts
It seems all so incredible
It's hard to believe
Our own ability to confuse, to sacrifice
Our tendency to make things complicated and give up important things
To enlighten like a Shakespearian play
To illuminate our lives like a theater performance
We foolish and happily hold on to sanity
We cling to our sanity, often unaware of our foolishness
While all around the pushing
Despite the constant pressure from our surroundings
And prodding of our feelings
And the poking and manipulation of our emotions
The twisting and turning of our hearts
The constant changes and fluctuations in our feelings
Displaying an almost indefinable strength
Demonstrating an almost intangible but powerful force
Of purpose, a reason, a reason, a reason
Of a goal or meaning, that may be hard to define
Where no reasons seems to exist
In situations where there seem to be no logical reasons
Yet, as in a vision, a voice transcending
However, like a spiritual experience, a voice rises above it all
All our imagination, jewel of life
Fueled by our imagination, the gift of life shines like a jewel
Guiding light heralding a joyous new dawn
A bright beam of hope signaling a new beginning
Clear and gifted time
A time of clarity and potential
Divine nature, super nature
A spiritual essence that transcends the natural world
The supreme gift of knowledge and space
The ultimate gifts of wisdom and freedom
In this cacophony of life
In the midst of this discordant symphony of existence
Peace will come
A promise that peace will arrive
Peace will come true horizon
Peace will finally be realized, as if on the horizon
Reach for the starlight
A call to reach for one's dreams and aspirations
Reach when it calls you
To act on one's desires when the opportunity arises
You, you are the reason
You are the motivation for your own actions
If you want
If you have the desire
You are the answer in the end
Ultimately, you hold the answers to your own questions
Sweet music, and your secret heart
Music and your innermost thoughts have a soothing effect
Both have the healing grace
Both have the power to heal and comfort
So again, a change, it comes
Once again, a change is approaching
Our world desires a way
Our world craves a solution
Touch a child who's lost, afraid,
Reach out to a vulnerable child who is lost and scared
It lifts you to true emotion
It brings out your genuine feelings
True feelings, be the light
Authentic emotions can be a guiding light
All that is good in this life
The positive aspects of living
Is good, good is good
Goodness is inherently positive
Oh everlasting dream, oh future come alive
A dream that lasts forever, a future that is vibrant and full of potential
To witness comes that time
The moment has arrived to bear witness
I just can't help but believe in life,
I can't help but have faith in life
All in all I just can't help but believe there is a way
Overall, I am convinced there is a solution
For us to give, a way for us to live
A way for us to contribute and exist
A way for us, a way for us
A way for humanity, collectively

@@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 😍❤
@emanueljmartins
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.🕊🎹✨✨
