Peter Gabriel was my brother’s favorite musician. He was into all of it. Every era. Even was an early member of the Real World Studios/Records club. He received all kinds of great music being produced at the studio. This song became his send off music.
However, when I went home to take care of all the things he left behind I was given a dark gift. The first thing I did when I sat upon his bed was to open his MacBook. A few seconds later a song with Peters voice started to play. I wasn’t familiar with the song but the lyrics were, “My body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I love. But my minds holds the key.” It’s an Arcade Fire cover done by Peter. It was the moment I felt him really gone forever but it also felt like he left me a clue/message.
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill, I could see the city lights
Fun fact, most of it uses a time signature of 7/4.
The song of my childhood. RIP childhood, 2004-2016.
I used to not like this song but recently found a great beauty in it. There’s something very comforting in it
...interesting video edit: looks like his tours for so, us, up, and new blood all spliced together; may have even caught a quick glimpse or two from security in there!..
...here's an interesting contrast...
Peter Gabriel made Genesis what it was. I really can't listen to them after he left.
This threw me off for a moment because I'm wondering why Peter Gabriel wasn't singing all the parts...I was looking for the bald goateed Gabriel). But they're all Peter Gabriel taken from different concerts...pretty cool effect.
Nert fund. I like this, thought I dew prafer the studio fraction eye yam family with.
