This was the song playing in a music store back in 1996 that convinced me to buy the album. At first I thought it was a new Howard Jones CD, but I learned later he was playing the piano on the album!
Seriously, if you like this song, also get a copy of 'Human's Lib' and listen to 'Hide and Seek' - it's nearly the same distant piano and strings. Even the lyrics are similar:
Everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it
The basis of both of the songs comes from the author's mutual belief in Buddhism - in fact, that's how Sheik and Jones met - in a Buddhist temple!
Looking for the inner light is a lifelong job to a Buddhist, where self-examination of purpose and even reality itself is often questioned. They are beautiful songs in an of themselves or taken together.
