Music video by Jon & Vangelis performing I'll Find My Way Home. (C) 2017 BBC vevo.ly/8IAxkn #Vangelis #IllFindMyWayHome #Vevo #Electronic #VevoOfficial #live
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 :)
This beautiful song was played at eight year old sarah payne's funeral. God bless beautiful little angel sarah and her loving family. Sarah would have been 32 years of age by now. Sweet little princess sarah is reunited with her beloved daddy again.
It makes me smile, seeing Jon at this point in the early eighties, when everything seemed so optimistic. Truly, we never knew how good we had it. As we look back on those days from the point of view of the 21st century, my wife and I realized that we didn't appreciate it because we didn't realize we could ever lose it. Now we know.
I think I know how you feel( born 1968) but don't give up hope, I truly believe that we will once again feel fortunate that we were born when we were. Patience....
I don't remember the early 80s being optimistic. The USSR was fully committed to the Cold War, and Ronald Reagan had begun dismantling the America that had taken 200 years to build. Perhaps your memories are clouded by nostalgia from your teenage years?
Had this played at my sister's funeral taken from us brain cancer 3 months ago....she loved this tune...this is only the second time I've had the courage to play it xxx
Lost my youngest brother to Sudden Adult Death while playing football, we loved this song as kids. It’s never easy and anyone who says it gets better with time is a liar. Remember to talk to your sister every day about anything at all, I found it helps and she is closer to you than you think. Death is not the final curtain and should be celebrated. Happy Christmas from Ireland 🇮🇪
And for my Dad, he found his way home so many years ago. As will your dear father, there is something more. The pain and fear will fade away and he will be whole and one again. Take heart and fear nought.
RIP Vangelis, fantastic composer. So very sorry he's gone. HIs music was haunting and beautiful. With Jon's voice soaring over the top, with lyrics that transport and comfort you at the same time.
I love this song my dad got killed in Tenerife someone knocked him off his bike 2015 Christmas when I come back from his funeral in Tenerife this is what was on the radio when I came back home so this in my collection what I listen to lovely song I find my way home love u dad xxx
Hmm... yeah... I've got New Order's "Temptation", after my mom has been killed by a car. /and then I finished with Joy Division... for obvious reasons/
I've been humming this song to myself for nearly 40 years, since I was a kid, searching and searching for it with no idea what it was, who by (male or female) or any of the lyrics. Sang it to my fella, sang it to Shazam, no joy. Finally, tonight, heard it playing in the background of a compilation show about 1982, Googled some lyrics, and here I am. Totally overjoyed :-D
I like this song very much! My dad to and he used to play it in the 80:s . He died this week just 69 years old. A chock for me and my sisters. This song is for dad. 💜 😢
@@sbustamantes Hi Sonia, I luv this track too and reminds me of the Fab time to be young and lovely memories of my parents too. Kind regards Glynn and greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝🕊
Cierto, yo compré un CD original de Vangelis en el año 1997 y hasta ahora lo sigo escuchando porque es espectacular !!!!.... saludos desde Santa Rita, Paraguay.
Just to reveal the person who wrote that comment is not the only one, and somehow prove how good and eternal the song is. It's tiring but we're living in the age of calling attention
A school freind died at 40, she was so shy n didnt have many freinds. another school freind posted this song on Facebook in memory of her.....2 years later at 42 he died of a brain hemorrhage. Always reminds me of them both
Jon and Vangelis is a criminally underrated project. The lead singer of Yes teamed up with the musical genius behind Chariots of Fire (and various lesser known tracks that I think are equally epic)!
Yes! Incredible albums by Jon & Vangelis 👏👏 I'm currently exploring more Jon Anderson solo albums (buying them bit by bit through eBay etc as I prefer physical cd's). Love his lyrics and voice.
My brother, one of the first to be struck down with AIDS, declared this song, his theme. Back in the those days it was only known as the gay cancer. We had no idea about his alternative lifestyle; he kept it hidden until a few months before his passing. He came home to visit and I suppose to say his good-byes. He was about to board a plane back to New York City to settle his affairs, but he suddenly took a turn for the worse. The airline refused to let him fly. As it turned out, he would have died on the plane. My brother was an inspiration to me. I followed, as best I could, in his footsteps. His interests became my interests. He was so talented as a singer, musician, artist, and even scientist that there was just no way I could hold a candle to him.
Thats a very moving tribute to your brother. Indeed AIDS is a horrible and debilitating illness, I myself am HIV+. Your brother will be proud of you and walking in your footsteps as if each were his own. Stand proud, for both your brother and yourself. Much respect.
What a song..what a voice...and as always amazing music composed by the legendary Vangelis. Vangelis has no parallel, his music is eternal, evergreen, ever lasting. I just can't get out of this song. This is song that will stand as decades pass away. How strange and sad it is, that the lyrics of all the old songs sound so deeply meaningful with a blend of sadness and happiness both.
Reading the bad news of Vangelis gone… I came up with this song never heard before!!!! Forty years and I find it incredible, a masterpiece!!!! Thank you so much for this beautiful music that will be forever cherished…
Bought the single in 1982 when I was 16 years old. The record is still part of my collection. Great great song !!! R.I.P Vangelis, pioneer of electronic music and creator of iconic soundtracks
I remember Vangelis....this song and "I hear you now" made me dream.....I used to climb to the roof of the house just to watch the sunrise on the mountains.... even though I had a shit childhood and my teenager years were garbage just listening to this music made me dream of a better future..... it made me feel if not happy, I felt hopeful.... I remember those winter nights when I used to sit on that roof sad as hell and so lonely...... I cannot count the times I cried because of the hurt..... thanks for the music and thank you for making me feel other than sadness.

In the eighties I was a ward sister in the NHS . There was a party involving all disciplines…. Apparently we all became unwell… I was in and out of consciousness for over a week..but this song was there when on the few occasions I came round,..I managed to get help, as people thought I had gone home, and did not look for me…. Amazing song,,,, they look like my partner and son.. both amazing ,,RIP Vangelis….your music is this but above..loved your music 🌍🌏🌗⭐️
me 2,,my Father was great Vangelis fan also myzelf,,he died at age 67 in January,i now got his vangelis Record collection... every song reminds me of him
I was 14 when this was released. Hard times for my mum and I. Mum never earned much but we had a little cottage in Wales which came with her job. Life was sometimes a little difficult but it was nonetheless a happy time and I look back and it makes me smile. Sadly all my family are now gone, my mum and dad, uncles and aunts. It's life and we all have to face it at some point. I'm lucky that I have a great woman to help me and two great kids. I hope you are not alone and that you have some support during difficult times. Good Luck
