I hear you now (Jon and Vangelis)


About the duo: Jon Anderson (1944) is an English singer and songwriter, best known as the lead singer of the progressive rock band Yes; Vangelis (1943) is a Greek musician and composer of electronic, progressive, ambient, jazz, and orchestral music. As a duo, they recorded three studio albums in the eighties. Jon and Vangelis currently have one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.

About the song: I hear you now is a track from the 1980 album Short stories. Jons eerie voice sounds better than on any Yes song and proves a perfect match for the synthesizer magic of Vangelis. The version listed is the album cut, with its longer instrumental intro. Run time 5:06.
