Jon & Vangelis' first two albums really seemed to be building up to this point. With Private Collection, the two artists (Jon Anderson of Yes fame and Vangelis) have created what feels just a bit like a classical work. Truly the nearly 23-minute "Horizon" really feels a lot like a modern symphony. It is definitely the culmination of their work together, their most ambitious effort. The shorter cuts on the album all have their moments and surely hold up to anything from the previous releases, but "Horizon" stands far above them all. It combines the best elements of Anderson's work in Yes with the electronically classically tinged stylings of Vangelis to produce a work that is near masterpiece in its quality. It is a life-affirming, positive piece. Among the other highlights of the disc are "Deborah" and "He Is Sailing." If you only buy one Jon & Vangelis album, choose the best-of collection. However, if you opt for a second disc, this is the one.

Italian Song

Is it love, is it love,
Is it love that I think I'm after ?
Is the moment so expressive in my heart
To believe I could be with you ?
Treasure this, treasure this.
Is it everything you hoped it would be ?
In your soul, in a job, at the firelight,
Could be life in a heart of stone.
Is it love, is it love,
Is this love that I think I'm feeling ?
Hold me in your arms, lie by my side,
Let me be inside of you.
Let me go, let me fly, let me love you.
Let me go, let me fly, let me love you.
Somehow I must believe, you need me too,
You dream me too summer love.
Cause I will be unchained
When true love surrounds me.
I will be unchained
When true love I see in your eyes.
Yes, I will be unchained
When true love I see in your eyes.
Tell me I'm a fool, I would know how to believe it. (eyes)
All the words you say enfold me, touch me, but
Somehow there's more to being this love.
It's a game of give and take.
Call it love, (give and take)
Call it love, (give and take)
Is it love that I think I'm after ?
It's the world that inspires my every move,
A world so much to do with you.
Tell me now, I'm alive.
So alive that I need to show it.
Gather round me, come to me, the firelight.
Come to me, wait by my side.
I will be unchained
When true love surrounds me.
I will be unchained
When true love I see in your eyes.


And When The Night Comes

A women in your soul
Creates the man you hold

And when the night comes
When you relax with me
I'll take you in my arms
I'll make you dream

So just remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A smile is just a smile
With you

Come to me, say you will
And like a storm I can help you feel
You must believe you hold the keys

Come to me, say you will
You are divine, your body holds me tight
You can't imagine, kiss so we'll know

Just you (I want you always)
Just you (I want you always)
Just you (I want you always)

I want you always
I want you always
I want you always

A woman needs to live
A woman needs to love
A woman needs to feel alive
A woman needs her sex
A woman needs her sex
A woman needs


Deborah

I read your letter
I got it just the other day
You seem so happy
So funny how time melts away
It's such a pleasure
To see you growing
And how you're sending your love
Thru' the air today

I think of Heaven
Each time I see you walking there
And as you're walking I think of children
Everywhere
It's in your star sign
You growing stronger
I can't believe you
It's so good to care

Thru' enchantment - into Sunlight
Angels touched your eyes
Your Highness - Electric - So Surprise

Is this your first life
It seems as tho' you have lived before
You help me hold on
You have a heart like an open door
You sing so sweetly
My Love adores you
She does, she's thinking of you
Right now, I know

The summer's coming
I'll keep in touch so you're not alone
Then like a swallow, you'll fly away
Like birds have flown
So let me tell you
How much I love you
I'd make the songbirds sing
For you again

Well now it's goodnight
Sweet angel, read this letter well


Polonaise

If you just take my sense of freedom
If you just take away my home
You can't ever hope to win me
This I'll tell you so sure

There is strength in the common people
For the people is all we really are
Young and old, the wisest and the lowly
Each indeed is 'Holy' in the 'Light of Love'

When the 'Word' comes
I will be waiting
Like a dove that shines he prays for peace
Some have waited what seems a lifetime
Some are waiting now to be released

For the moment we have this freedom
We will choose the way our hearts will move
All the people lost will find their way
Give that chance today
Hear and I will pray

No not for nothing hearts will not be broken
As long as we are open
Our hearts will make us free

Free for the Earth man
Free for the millions
In the 'Glory' all will come to 'Truth'
No aggression, that we leave behind us
To be replaced
By 'You'

For tomorrow another morning
For tomorrow another day
In our children there's that sense of freedom
Help them use it wisely
I will pray


He Is Sailing

Out of the mist into tropical splendour
With garlands of flowers
In Majestical fusion we see tonight

On to this sacred reunion of pleasure
They row as a rhythm, ten thousands of millions
They touch the Light

King is sailing they say
King is sailing we hear
King is sailing they say
King is sailing this day of days of days
Cocasaya Tay Toca

(Lyrics left out of the recording:)
[ Drums beating faster thru' harder excitement]
[ The wings bring the Angels]
[ They singing of Truth that this day has come]
[ Older than oldest religions have promised]
[ A promise is kept on this Golden Reflection]
[ His Kingdom Come]

King is coming they sing
King is coming they know
King is coming we sing
King is coming we know Kotao Kotao Kotao

All the souls he to touch
All the souls he to touch
All the souls he to touch
All the millions of souls he to touch, he to touch
Cocasaya Kotao Kotao

Heaven set sail in His ship full of light
He trancends all our love
To caress all our fears
In a moment Divine

Weakest and Strongest will dance in delight
All illuminous our Saviour they bringing him forth
All will sing to the Night

Our true Kingdom come
Our true Kingdom come
Our true Kingdom come
Our true Kingdom come
Higher, Than Higher, Than Higher, Than Higher, Than Higher


Horizon

In amongst 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 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

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

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
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

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
A way for us, A way for us
