Jon Anderson - Candle Song

[sunstar336]

the quinesstential bard the most true of singers

thank you jon

[lusich94]

¿De qué año es este video? Gracias.-

[yocuzz100]

Even when Jon Anderson is talking he sounds like he's singing.

[IYAMNI]

Amazing find. Thanks for posting. Love this album. But I think he did this song and a few others off the album with Vangelis first, didn't he?

[pepefrometa1]

Yhis song is mi vida...pepe frometa

[twostikks1]

Wow ... what year was this? And how the hell did that host ever even GET a show -- incredibly annoying.

[henrykjan]

Jon Anderson współpracuje z Kitarro i Vangelisem królami pięknych utworów.

[Tsnore]

In a word: Jon!

[SeattleLA]

Jon is my favorite vocalist ever, a peacemaker,and I like his 70s fashion. Of course, I like him in Yes FAR more, but still, it is great to view him here.

[zappatx]

You can't put Jon in any category - he's truly a music legend.. Operates on his own. Really the most misunderstood individual in music. I sure wish he would wright a autobiography.

[myblueroad]

This is such a beautiful song

A favorite of mine

[YesMusicFan]

really Needed this today!! thanx Tony in UK and Vic in canada for posting/linking this wonderful music! i find it ironic that people would post negative things on here, but.. that's they way of the world now and i give up hoping some May Understand.. isnt there some 'hack-up-a-furball' punk/metal band with NO GAY FOLK for you to comment on rather than be nasty here? it appears that most are incapable of understanding the MESSAGE and can only comment on superficial things..bon chance Jon!

[krz0188]

I agree annoying host....Shut UP! lol

[lucethepuce]

jon looks gay

[yesiammark]

Gorgeous song. The album Change We Must is still a great composition nearly 2 decades later...get it...you will lvoe it!

[frogrock89]

John,,,please,,,,Stick with the one of the greatest bands on earth.YES!

[duncan1482]

holy shit what a fag

[DarkeningSkies1]

@duncan1482 If you mean the t.v. host, I think "useless asshole" would be a more apt description; if you mean Jon Anderson, I hate to tell ya this, but that weird little englishman has probably scored more puss in 40 + years fronting Yes then you ever will for the rest of your angry little life. Isn't life unfair? Cheers!

[Fernando13567]

GOOD!!!!! TANKS FOR THIS MUSIC

[JDChicago]

No balls?...The highness of the notes?...Let me be kind enough to educate..The voice can have a feminine spirit to it....Jeff Buckley had two almost entirely different voices.One was an angelic..the other was a really gifted vocalist. But he had both male and female souls....His music really reflected it.

And Jon...perhaps sings with more the energy of a feminine spirit..but I have always found it to be very moving, and how his spirit interprets

the correct response.

[remoman]

get off the weed dude.

[JDChicago]

Who do you think is lining up to see Chris Squire, or Trevor Rabin...or Steve Howe...Jon s voice had magic...defining why that is...is spiritual in nature.

Not a "how bout them cowboys!" guy stuff....and I call it ....sorry if this is too evolved

[countdumas]

@JDChicago Vangelis used to be in a band called Aphrodities Child. Great band.

[danielsylvain]

Very beautifull memory

[tonusaitis]

I'm guessing this footage is from circa 1994-1995 around the time of the Talk Tour.

[dawnmarieb]

With his hair this long it must be older?

[garycronk7]

jon has always been on the new age religious side of life. very beautiful music.

[maitreyalux]

There are occult hints within Jon work that in which only advanced initiates of the ageless wisdom are able to understand

[jaroslorenc]

They are yellow:-)

[ramlinrose2]

is he kin to john anderson :)

[yesiammark]

This is a great song from an amazing solo album from Jon...CHANGE WE MUST...the title song is even better than this one, and this one is gorgeous!

[ramlinrose2]

is this male or female,

[badATchaos]

haha i know right. as much as a fan of Yes and John i am, you gotta admit : he probably doesn't have testicles.

[hagiadzo]

Yeah, I have to agree with you!

[mikehughes52]

It is my information that Jon Anderson is one of those very advanced fourth ray ego

s now coming into incarnation at this time in worlds history to add a very nice peaceful and relaxing theme to the music of the new age.

[ASeasonedWitch]

Nice song by Jon.

I only wish the video was edited tighter to cut out the crud at the start.

[nuclearG1]

This host is a loser.

[sirronald69]

*****

[Gradius0]

I have the CD, but this version sounds so different.

[skrufstrong]

why is there only a still picture of the man In the beginning?

[1yesfan]

I could watch/listen to this a million times and it would still be as beautiful as the first time.

[xlapj001]

People who spread unity, understanding and love are already with Jesus in his realm of eternal life here on earth and gods, stars above are fully satisfied...:)

[ohisashiburi]

blah blah

[xlapj001]

Where is not balance, demons arise, as for my ego... as for spirit and its reflection of ideas, its holy truth i write:) blah blah:)

[ritsoratso]

There is only one jon anderson and he can never be replaced, are you listening mr squire

[willprich]

it was actually the 125th anniversary of the British Red Cross

[Eowyn47]

I melt every time I hear this song. It empowers me, and it's so universal. I've been listening to Jon and Yes since I was a baby I wish all the best to them.

[ledzeplad]

Bit of a porker there jonny boy!!!

[robste]

Jon, for better or worse, has never lost his infectious sense of optimism and joy in his music. Angel, indeed.......

Here's praying for a speedy recovery from what ails him, and to a return to performing, entertaining, and inspiring us all.

[Babaziba]

Does music get more beautiful than this? What a joyful noise he has made for all these years. Thank you, Jon.

[HuntersMoon73]

Absolutely stunning - thank you for posting this.

Jon is an angel :)

[kaiserwilhelm23]

good music

[hanahono3333]

beautiful song, beautiful voice

[neiloneil]

What an amazing and genuine artist.

[fjcos]

FUCK YEAH

I LOVE JON ANDERSON

[falko57]

jeśli są w muzyce niezapomniane , genialne głosy to do nich należy głos JONA..niezmienny od czasów YES.. ZAWSZE PEłEN CIEPłA ,NOSTALGII izawsze sprowadzający spokój wnawet najgorszych chwilach życia...Należy tego głosu słuchać i słuchać..WłAśNIE TERAZ-- KIEDY TEN WIELKI GłOS MOżE ZAMILKNąć...ja chciałbym go słuchać jeszcze wiele, wiele lat i oby tak się stało - tego sobie i Wam życzę...

[SoyMcbert]

Pure magic we will be....

[rasmusgirl7]

what a talented guy

[92Opium]

these commnts are SO much fun 2 read.

hay hay hay. ;D Dv

[Joebreck]

Man he's talented and what a detour from seminole wind!

[bozzque]

Great song, great Jon.

I have just heard "Sadness of Flowing" with Jon on the 2008 release Namah. Gorgeous music!!! Bravo, Jon !!!

[WithNAngelWings]

"ENCHANTING"

[druidkat7]

This song is indeed a very healing song...and as far as I'm concerned, one of my favorites.

As far as Jon's health...he seems to be doing better, now, physically, though not quite ready to tour...though I wonder how he's doing, emotionally. I know how I'd feel if I were sidelined by my own health issues. My bouts, as a singer, with laryngitis do not compare with asthma.

Holding the Light for Jon's return to us. :-)

[theclassicalmuse]

pure magic, pure beauty, pure spirit

[JimHarmatz]

Sick of Anderson and sick of Kitaro They should go off to a desert island together and stay there

[elderjack21]

That crowd was so weak...Jon is a legend, if only for that reason they should have been louder.

[sbates5]

Music wize I was raised on Yes & Anderson. This is not one of his better songs in my opinion anyway. I still love Olias & the Yes album plus few other songs

[frink32]

Um I think this show has no studio audience so no worries about the light applause. I love JA and yes, but this song is a little too sweet for me, BUT his voice actually keeps it interesting! Does anyone know how he's doing healthwise?

[MKC678]

That song sucks big fatt butts

[impersonation44]

This song is just so beautiful, Thank you for posting this here,:}

[MysteryClown000]

What are there 5 people in the audience?? Fuck them! Jon anderson rules

[JonasBrosKiller]

John Anderson is my favorite singer

[silverheart70]

When I am gone from this earth, this is the song I want played at my service, from the time I heard it years ago. Jon's music=magic.

[IRONLEDZEPPELINMAIDE]

jon anderson podria haber hecho un duo con robert plant........... estan grande como el

[Pooyiitah]

Esta cancion me encanta tiene tan linda voz JON

[crazy4chan]

What's wrong with that audience? How rude! Jon is the best!

[SibKat]

Amazing! as always... !!

[MadLanahan]

What a pure tone! Great breath and phrasing.

[lovethecello]

Jon's voice truly is magical. Even these days, the color of his voice is rich.

[mutedroses]

My absolute favorite song by Jon. This song got me thru some tough times. Thanks Jon.

[ePhilosopher]

Jon's voice enhances Our reason to be here!

[HanaLiagirls]

Even when he had the flue in Quebec!!

[ejp78]

This was called "Anyone Can Light A Candle" on the Page of Life album. It's absolutely gorgeous and has one of the most pretty choruses I've ever heard...

[yachachij]

Bellìsima.

Pruebe una muy parecida

Islands of life (jon + kitaro)

[australisman]

I believe at the end of the show, they turned him upside down and swept the floor!

[spvline]

Hey now!

[lsdmadman]

yes and jon filled our youth with soaring powerful HOPEFUL (!!!!) music ,,i thank them and the good and great gods

[azizfet]

thks again  musfet

[sirtinycreep]

Does Anderson wear a wig??

[pooglewoogl17]

yah i think

[doodlepal]

Beautiful song. Jon is a unique and great singer. I have been a fan since I went to my first concert - YES at Stafford Bingley Hall 1977!

[Aspartamebraintumor]

I hate that crowd! CLAP!

[danielsylvain]

wow, glad I saw this

[pwstlws]

Speechless with the cheese and boredom.

[ColinGabrielSmith]

My wife and I danced to this song on her 40th birthday and our anniversary. It is definitely one of my all time favs. Jon Anderson's voice is unmatched.

[eennymo]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful face...

[sorolon]

Great song, great singer. I was struck by how nice Anderson was to the (rather annoying) host about his tie. Is he usually as positive as his music tends to be? He seems like the kinda guy I'd like to know.

[aarrgh5]

Hmmm. Jon is a little more fay than I remember as a kid. Still has a great voice, though. Jon, dude, lose the weight and keep your hands in your pockets.

[checazares]

steve perry is the best!!!

[DSMPublishing]

At what he does he's very good. Yes was soooo far beyond Journey's abilities. Yes took music to levels Journey could never accomplish. Perry is great. He's incredible.

Jon and Yes come from an entirely different space. Far more talented band than Journey.

[Cocus62]

Que presiosa canción y esa voz, que voz.... parece del cielo escuchandola aquí en la tierra, gracias Jon por lo que nos transmites y haces sentir de lo bello de la vida

[lulabeatle]

de cuando es este video?... que voz maravillosa... que increible ser humano que no te lo podes creer... un ángel, sin dudas... :)

[gabrielevans666]

I wonder why Vangelis Papathanassiou was not mentioned as the real owner of this song during this presentation? Jon Anderson is a fantastic singer but this very song is a vangelis composition.

[rorro64]

¡¡¡Que belleza de canción, por Dios!!

[1yesfan]

Beautiful. Music doesn't get much better than that unless you were lucky enough to be there. One of my favorites of all time.

[lrycryl]

No one clapped?? My God that was wonderful.  So Emotional.....Thank You Mr. Anderson

[hyperauxia]

They're Americans, Vangelis, Demis Roussos, and Jon Anderson have never really been appreciated as they should be. It's not his best work or the best rendition but it certainly deserved more than that snub, it doesn't seem to connect as much in the states.

[lklukas007]

O ACOMPANHAMENTO TUDO NO GERAL É ÓTIMO. a vOZ DE jOHN

É MELHOR DO QUE QUALQUER COISA NESTE MUNDO. ARISTIDES

NUNES

[14adela]

Minunat cantec! Extraordinar! Multumesc, inca o data! Salutari din Romania!

[14adela]

Wonderful song! Gorgeous!!! Thank you, again! Our best regards!

[Neschker]

Jon is always fresh. Who could ever get tired of listening to that voice. It gets inside you.

Breathtaking.

[randallcraig]

Thanks for this beautiful moment! This is my favorite song off Change We Must. Yes will live forever because of us the fans who will always pass on this wonderful music that came to us in our life times....Oh and they ROCK! too.

Thanks

Randallcraig

[NickSayle]

W O W !!!! he is still amazing to listen to, his phrasing is outstanding

[olhach]

Pure Magic!!!

[flashbackfoley]

kick ass
