State of Independence
"State of Independence" is a song written by Jon Anderson and Vangelis. Cover versions have been recorded by several artists and it has been a hit single on three occasions. The song is written in a reggae/calypso style and features an abstract spiritual lyric.
Originally recorded by Jon and Vangelis for their 1981 album ''The Friends of Mr Cairo'', "State of Independence" was released as a single the same year but did not chart. The song subsequently became better known when Donna Summer released a cover version a year later in 1982, which became a Top Twenty UK single (and repeated the same feat 14 years later when issued as a remixed version in 1996) and becoming a Number One hit in the Netherlands. In 1992, a third version of the song - retitled "Spiritual High (State of Independence)" - was recorded and released as a single by Moodswings, with vocals by The Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde.
