"Hide and Seek" is a song by English musician Howard Jones, released in February 1984 as the third single from his debut studio album, Human's Lib. It reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart. Musically, the song is darker than other songs by Jones, featuring an eerie gothic-tinged sound that is comparable to dark ambient.
Jones performed a solo acoustic version of the song at the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert.[2] The song reached the top five in Ireland and has been covered by many artists, including a version by the band Gregorian on their Masters of Chant Chapter IV album.[3] A re-recorded, longer version of the song was released on the album Perform.00 in 2000.
The B-sides, "Tao Te Ching" and "China Dance", are both instrumentals. All tracks were written by Jones.
