They formed in 1979 after Vangelis had been rumoured to replace Rick Wakeman in Yes a few years before. Anderson had contributed to Vangelis' albums "Heaven and Hell", "See You Later" and "Opera Sauvage".
They released a total of four albums with Anderson writing the lyrics and Vangelis composing the music: "Short Stories" in 1980, "The Friends of Mr. Cairo" in 1981, "Private Collection" in 1983, and "Page of Life" in 1991, which got re-released in 1998 with some additional tracks of which Vangelis reportedly did not approve. There are also two compilations, called "The Best of Jon & Vangelis" (1984) and "Chronicles" (1994)
I’ll Find My Way Home
Jon & Vangelis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is lost
How will I find what is near
Don't question I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home
My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you're asking me when
I'll say it starts at the end
You know your will to be free
Is matched with love secretly
And talk will alter your prayer
Somehow you'll find you are there.
Your friend is close by your side
And speaks in far ancient tongue
A seasons wish will come true
All seasons begin with you
One world we all come from
One world we melt into one
Just hold my hand and we're there
Somehow we're going somewhere
Somehow we're going somewhere
You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is strong
I know it can't be long
No questions I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
Somehow I'll find my way home
The lyrics to Jon & Vangelis's song "I'll Find My Way Home" are about the search for guidance and direction when feeling lost and disconnected from oneself. The singer is being asked where to begin and if they’re lost in their sins, and they are unable to answer when they fell or where to begin because they are struggling to find their way. However, the singer’s spirit is still strong and they believe that they will eventually find their way back home.
The lyrics also suggest that the search for inner peace and direction begins at the end, meaning that the journey starts with a clear destination in mind. The sun rising in the east symbolizes a new beginning and the potential for peace. The singer believes that the will to be free and love can ultimately provide the guidance and comfort needed to find their way home.
The references to season’s wishes and “one world” suggest that everyone is connected and that we are all part of a larger, shared experience. The singer's friend speaks in an ancient tongue, which implies that wisdom and guidance can come from unexpected sources. The final line, “somehow we’re going somewhere,” implies that despite feeling lost, we are always moving forward and making progress towards our destination.
Line by Line Meaning
You ask me where to begin
You are seeking guidance from me on where to start
Am I so lost in my sin
I am questioning if I am too consumed by my own wrongdoing
You ask me where did I fall
You want to know the exact moment when I went astray
I'll say I can't tell you when
I cannot pinpoint the exact moment of my misstep
But if my spirit is lost
If my soul is adrift and unfocused
How will I find what is near
It will be challenging to discover what is closest to me
Don't question I'm not alone
Do not doubt that I have company on this journey
Somehow I'll find my way home
I have faith that I will eventually find my way back to where I belong
My sun shall rise in the east
My new beginning will come from where I least expect it
So shall my heart be at peace
My heart will finally find tranquility
And if you're asking me when
If you are curious about the timing
I'll say it starts at the end
It all begins with accepting and reconciling with the past
You know your will to be free
You are aware of your desire to break free from constraints
Is matched with love secretly
This yearning is intertwined with a deep love that you may not even realize
And talk will alter your prayer
Conversing with others will transform the way you approach your spiritual journey
Somehow you'll find you are there.
You will unexpectedly realize that you have arrived at your destination
Your friend is close by your side
A supportive companion is always near you
And speaks in far ancient tongue
This ally speaks in a language that is ancient and unfamiliar
A seasons wish will come true
Your desires will manifest and come to fruition in due time
All seasons begin with you
Your growth and transformation dictate the beginning and end of each chapter in your life
One world we all come from
Despite our differences, we all share a common origin and heritage
One world we melt into one
We will eventually unite and become one again
Just hold my hand and we're there
I will guide you on this journey, and we will get there together
Somehow we're going somewhere
We are on a path that may not always make sense, but we will still forge ahead with hope
If my spirit is strong
If my soul has fortitude and determination
I know it can't be long
I trust that it will not take long to reach my destination
No questions I'm not alone
I am confident that I am not on this journey by myself
Somehow I'll find my way home
I will eventually discover my way back to where I belong, no matter the obstacle
Somehow I'll find my way home
I will keep believing and manifesting my eventual return to where I belong
Somehow I'll find my way home
I will persist and find my way back to the place where my spirit feels at ease

In 1998 I was in Beaumont hospital with cancer waiting to go for the operation the next day. I just wanted to go home as I was afraid. So I went down to the radio station in the hospital and asked them to play this song for me. It really calmed me down and made me feel that I would make it home. Its now 24 years later and all is good. So thank you Jon and Vangelis you helped save me :)
