"Hide and Seek" is a song by the English synth-pop musician Howard Jones, released on 10 February 1984 by WEA Records as the third single from his debut studio album, Human's Lib. It reached the top five in Ireland and peaked at 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. The song has been covered by many artists, including a version by the German band Gregorian on their fifth studio album Masters of Chant Chapter IV (2003). A re-recorded, longer version of the song was released on the album Perform.00 by Jones in 2000.
