Background

"State of Independence" is a song written by Jon Anderson and Vangelis. The track was released as a single but did not chart. It subsequently became better known when Donna Summer released a cover version a year later in 1982. That became a top-20 UK hit single and a number one hit in the Netherlands. In 1992, a third version of the song — retitled "Spiritual High " — was recorded and released as a single by Moodswings, with vocals by the Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde.
