If someone is not treating you with love and respect it is a gift if they walk a way from you. If that person doesn’t walk away you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while but your heart will eventually heal. You will find that you don’t need to trust others to make the right choices. When you make it a strong habit not to take anything personally you avoid many upsets in your life. Your anger jealousy and envy will disappear.
This was always my favorite version of this song. Of course, I forgot about this song until I watched Single White Female and it was on the closing credits. Ha!
@Kelby4581 Dito And then I remembered it for some reason sounded familiar to me. Then I saw the Dona Summer Link and listen to it I love both versions. and its still not long enough.
I've always loved the original version (Jon & Vangelis - The Friends of Mr. Cairo album), but Chrissie's voice has turned this into a somewhat new song.
I like this cover version. I've added it to my FB group dedicated to cover versions. It's called "the Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" feel free to join in.
This is a New Age, synthy, 80's, hippy type song. Chrissy Hynde has a great voice but this song is completely wrong for her and this arrangement is simply a remix with a generic hip-hop beat and bass. This song was composed by two guys (Jon Anderson & Vangelis) who are genius composers and instrumentalists at heart and it was later covered by another genius Quincy jones for Donna Summer. There is a reason for the sound and lyric. Listen to the original and Donna Summer's version and learn.
this is much better version than anderson or summer specially when it continues to the 3rd part and has the martin luther king speech just gives me chills
I was watching single white female...seen it a long time ago...but when the credits rolled....this song played and I freaked. I remember this song...who sings it?...I gotta find it! (found!) Thank you curvehn! This made my day!
They were on the soundtrack for the movie Single White Female and I just love their sound...they way I feel when I hear them... I have not heard of them before. It's very relaxing and feel-good. I love their style....it's just happy/uplifting/spirit happy!
@mistacord That Roommate movie reeks of RIP-off! Never will they have the ability to re-make what is a cult classic - Single White Female. Love this song, by the way. :)
This was the last song played at Philmore's Big Beat in Saltburn. Strange choice seeing as though in 1990 we were all cock eyed. Still love it though as it takes me waaaay back!
@corbandallas46 ...just to let you know that ive uploaded the original moodfood megamix version of this track, taken from the cd single , i have got every mix of this track but this mix has to be the best..enjoy
@IYAMNI --- Totally agree. It's all a matter of preference. I came to see/hear this version of the song and saw some dude below saying:
"It doesn't matter who does this song...the 1994 jon anderson version is by far and away the best, he has the best voice, better than donna summer and chrissy hynde"
I was merely responding to his comment. If he likes that one better, let him give props to the vids of Jon's version and don't dis our girl Chrissie, who happens to be an icon to many of us. :D
I heard this on Sirius XM's Electronica station but they played a roughly 13-15 minute version of this song that includes MLK's I Have a Dream Speech and some more vocals by Chrissy. I wish/hoped they made a video for that extended version.

Sorry but Jon's 1981 version was def groundbreaking but his voice is way too cloying for the depth of the lyrics. Donna gave it some teeth and made it her own, and then Chrissie / Moodswing put their more ethereal spin on it. Nice that a great song can hold up after like 30 years :)
@NamasteSuz What is or is not cloying is a matter of preference. Completely subjective. I will always prefer Jon & Vangelis version and never forget that it is Jon vision and these words contain his spirit.
omg, I first heard this song back in 93 and when I watched single white female....and I absolutley still love it, sooooo mesmerizing and sensual, try playing while with your partner, wow.././. 1:33......
For those who haven't heard the whole Mood Swings album that this song came from, it's a great album. Most of it is electronic music with a few vocals, but it's great from beginning to end.
It doesn't matter who does this song...the 1994 jon anderson version is by far and away the best, he has the best voice, better than donna summer and chrissy hynde
@smeldridgman77 how can you still listen to this after all the horrible memories attached to it? If not for you but you know how I feel about it....:-(
first of all chrissie can do no wrong!she does a wonderful cover and i really like the connection to MLK.this is a great tune and she maybe is one of the few who could make it "alive".she is militant and beautiful all in the same breath.
well kids..since we got off topic from the MUSIC..let us break the word down. homo= same phobic(a)= fear or morbid fear. Ok now we now the definition..Ok so now we must think where does fear come from? Well, for those of you who believe in God you believe fear is of the Devil. For those of you who don't believe fear is still a negative force. My thoughts about it all..we came here to watch a video so please ppl just try to keep your petty arguements to yourself. thanks
B E A utiful, I had a DJ mix of this with an absolutely brilliant scratch sample over the top, if anyone comes across it Pleeeeeeeeeeease pass it on. Great post 11/10
@seabuild I'm looking for that one too. The first time I heard it on the radio was right around the time Obama was up for election. If I find it, I will post a link or something.
This song was incredibly important to me when my father passed away, this was just about the only thing that gave me any peace. This album and my sense of humor were the only things that kept me going.
@tryanr ~so sorry~i hear where ur coming from~this is one of my favorite songs, 19yrs ago~so beautiful and peaceful..brings peace to your heart~Sending you love and light~~Namaste~keep ur light shining~
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not the best version. I don't think it suits Chrissie's voice. Not the best video either. The Jon&Vangelis and DS versions are much better produced IMO. I don't go for the cheesy MLK references too much either...
@Screwbiedooo --Jon+Vangelis is YEAH MUCH BETTER! Although the various Chryssie/Moodswings mixes and white labels have served their functions. This IS NOT a bad version, but I can go back to both cassette and vinyl and say yes, old-school J & V is better. Anybody doubts it? Do your YouTube search for Jon and Vangelis, "State of Independence." check for yourself.
@drewskee67 i have most commercially available friends of mr cairo cd- lp versions and this stands right there with them.i guess i'm predejused,i think chrissie is a great singer

I first heard this song on the end credits of 'Single White Female' and I loved it ever since! A song that can make me watch the movie credtis till they end is an awesome song!
That's where I heard it the first time too. I only knew the Donna Summer version before that. It took a good six months to find the CD with this on it. Now I can see her sing it also.
I know after lookin up the lyrics..most say it says "bring me to meet your sound"...I always thought it said "bring me to me your son and i will bring you my heart ". As in she wants to be the mother of his children. Guess I got that wrong..would've been nice though lol
Nice story DonsSanctuary, but you don't use a phone while you're driving a dump truck--or anything else for that matter. Frankly, even listening to the radio while driving is a dangerous distraction.
Thank you drupa....for that .....whatever that was...........Dons comment was about the lovely Chrissie Hynde....Besides, I have been a truck driver for 10 years and have a clean record...even though I drive while talking on the phone, with music cranked loud, preparing a tossed salad, putting eye drops in while looking up at the ceiling, texting, shaving with a straight razor....Chrissie must be an angel.....she has the voice of one....
A beautiful soul...I have talked to her on the phone when she was on public radio 88.5 in Tampa FL.... a program called "talking Animals" had her as a guest...I was driving my dump truck and called in and she spoke to me..made me feel so good inside...
The song is State of Independence and it is a tear jerking performance. In the gay community back in the day this song was used as the Aids Anthem as we buried our friends that were dropping like flies. Of course we played Donna Summer's rendition. I had totally forgotten about Chrissie's incredible rendition. Thanks whoever posted this. Glad those days are over.
"an all-star choir including among others Michael Jackson, Brenda Russell, James Ingram, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Loggins, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder."
I feel bad for Martin Luther King Jr.Thats why i love this song!Because everybody goes back in time to the man who shot Martin Luther King Jr.Then they rewind it so he didn't shoot him.And the song is lovely!Good work Chrissie!
The group 'Moodswings' (two guys - one Pretender & his mate) worked this Vangelis classic 'State of Independence' into a 3 track EP entitled Spirtual High. One of the mixes called was Spiritual High (State of Independence). Mixes on the EP featured Chrissie on vocal and another heavily sampled Dr Martin Luther King's Dream speech. It's generally regarded as an Ibizian classic.
I first heard of Moodswings from an ex boyfriend of mine. He had a cassette copy of Moodswings. We used to cruse around and listen to moodswings. He had gotten AIDS and I spent as much time as I could with him. Unfortunately he could not take it anymore and decided to end his life. I never had the chance to say goodbye. How I miss him so much...Every time I listen to moodswings, it reminds me of him and cry for him...Rest in Peace my friend Orlando Garza...I love all of their songs.
This is my fav version of this song. Love the music, the mix and singing.

I know after lookin up the lyrics..most say it says "bring me to meet your sound"...I always thought it said "bring me to me your son and i will bring you my heart ". As in she wants to be the mother of his children. Guess I got that wrong..would've been nice though lol

The original is my all-time fav song in the world, but this is good too; better than the Donna Summer cover.

Nice story DonsSanctuary, but you don't use a phone while you're driving a dump truck--or anything else for that matter. Frankly, even listening to the radio while driving is a dangerous distraction.

Thank you drupa....for that .....whatever that was...........Dons comment was about the lovely Chrissie Hynde....Besides, I have been a truck driver for 10 years and have a clean record...even though I drive while talking on the phone, with music cranked loud, preparing a tossed salad, putting eye drops in while looking up at the ceiling, texting, shaving with a straight razor....Chrissie must be an angel.....she has the voice of one....

A beautiful soul...I have talked to her on the phone when she was on public radio 88.5 in Tampa FL.... a program called "talking Animals" had her as a guest...I was driving my dump truck and called in and she spoke to me..made me feel so good inside...

The song is State of Independence and it is a tear jerking performance. In the gay community back in the day this song was used as the Aids Anthem as we buried our friends that were dropping like flies. Of course we played Donna Summer's rendition. I had totally forgotten about Chrissie's incredible rendition. Thanks whoever posted this. Glad those days are over.

I feel bad for Martin Luther King Jr.Thats why i love this song!Because everybody goes back in time to the man who shot Martin Luther King Jr.Then they rewind it so he didn't shoot him.And the song is lovely!Good work Chrissie!

this was a nice rediscovery for me today.
after a little investigation via wikipedia,
i learned that this duo featured Grant Showbiz,
The Smiths' old sound man.

The group 'Moodswings' (two guys - one Pretender & his mate) worked this Vangelis classic 'State of Independence' into a 3 track EP entitled Spirtual High. One of the mixes called was Spiritual High (State of Independence). Mixes on the EP featured Chrissie on vocal and another heavily sampled Dr Martin Luther King's Dream speech. It's generally regarded as an Ibizian classic.

I first heard of Moodswings from an ex boyfriend of mine. He had a cassette copy of Moodswings. We used to cruse around and listen to moodswings. He had gotten AIDS and I spent as much time as I could with him. Unfortunately he could not take it anymore and decided to end his life. I never had the chance to say goodbye. How I miss him so much...Every time I listen to moodswings, it reminds me of him and cry for him...Rest in Peace my friend Orlando Garza...I love all of their songs.
