Gabriel is a genius. Passion and intelligence pour from every note and word. Also, I could listen to his voice endlessly.
Geeeez, are you my long lost twin ,or what ...... :)
Hi guys,
Peter Gabriel is one of the first to use the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument)... one of the first sampler/sequencer !!! Used a lot in this album.
The early instrument seems to be a Chinese or Indonesian percussion used in two distinct patterns on the Fairlight and which creates this arpeggio.
You absolutely must listen to "Lay your hands on me" from this same album for the sounds, the rhythms and mood.
Peter's other albums are amazing too !!!
Hello from France !! ;-)
Arguably PG's best album, although with "3" and "So" as competition it's debatable. His 80s and early 90s output is fire, not to mention his legacy with Genesis and numerous collaborations.
When I saw him perform this song live he did a couple really simple, but effective and cool things. First he had all the ceiling lights come to a point at his outstretched hand while his fist was closed and right after he sang “letting go of life” he opened up his hand and all the lights scattered around the theater. That looked really cool! Then after that ominous closing section after he finished singing “hold the line”, he would reflect a light beam into the audience using a handheld mirror and just move it around the crowd shining a bright light on everyone while those dark synth chords are playing in the background. You never know what ur gonna see at a Gabriel concert!
A true masterpiece!
It hit me just as hard when I first heard it in the 80s.
You guys have to see the live performance from the Secret World Tour
I still remember putting this on my turntable the very first time, as soon as I got home from the record store. Sat there and listened to the entire album about three times without any distractions. After listening to a Gabriel album, you felt like you knew how to be a better, stronger person. And his use of synths was so cutting edge that it's hard for people today to appreciate how innovative these felt when they were released.
the mountain san jacinto is close my city...esta cancion esta inspirado en los indios de las montañas de san jacinto...la jolla, california
This song gives me goosebumps....it always has, always will.
My son's name is Gabriel because the influence Peter's music had on me
He has that effect on humans ....doesn't he ? Good on you man ... :)
Gabriel was influenced by an Apache Indian he met when he was on tour in the American midwest. This man worked at the motel where the band was staying for the night. He and Gabriel started talking, and he casually explained that his apartment building was on fire, and that he was worried about his cat. He had no way to get there, so Gabriel drove him.
Gabriel was struck by how the man was only concerned for the cat (which was fine), not his material possessions. They spent most of the night talking, and the man explained the traditional Apache ritual he performed when he 14. Before he could be deemed a Brave, every boy goes with a Medicine Man into the mountains, where a rattlesnake is allowed to bite him. The Medicine Man leaves, and the boy must either find his way down the mountain or die.
This story got Gabriel thinking about how many cultures had rituals where young men are forced to face death, which can teach courage and foster an appreciation for life.
Props to the 105 for being open and getting it.
Next Gabriel " Games Without Frontiers"
You Guys have really struck on a gold mine
All that fantastic music from years ago.
You really still have years to go with fantastic musical discoveries and so much listening pleasure..
Kate Bush, Al Stewart, Peter Gabriël, Genesis, Supertramp, Toto , Boz (the Man) Scaggs , Steely Dan , Phil Collins, Electric Light Orchestra, 10cc, Pink Floyd and many more They're really all of my favourites and I'm not joking
Try "Biko" - Peter Gabriel's tribute to Stephen Biko.
Deep track love it his old stuff is epic
One thing you can say about Peter Gabriel's work is that no two songs sound the same. Each track is it's own journey through emotion, fantasy or reflection.
Stuff like Don't Give Up, Darkness, Biko, Red Rain or Family Snapshot show a decent range of his work.
This is about a Native American Chief who feels that if he loses focus for a moment the world will fly apart. At any time...for the entirety of the world...if he loses focus it will doom mankind...even those who don't believe...
He's growing weary. It's happening. Can you feel it? Our world ripping apart and flying into the void?
I see it.... but hold the line of strength that pulls us through the fear.....
Hey guys . Love the channel , very cool stuff you react too . This album and song is one of the first tracks to use sampling and looping in this way , Gabriel used a ground breaking instrument called the fairlight CMI . He sampled some African instruments and manipulated them using the fairlight. It Cost $25.000 Back in 1979/80 . A lot of hits of the time used this . I’m a producer from England who is into all this geek stuff . So I thought I’d shed some light on how it was put together , nice video guys
Amazing song. All his albums are fantastic but this is his best album in my opinion. I’m a huge fan of him.
This and the first one
hes dynamite in genesis what a performer he was
Sooooo happy you did a peter gabriel song...I love this hope you did too...he is amazing
Thank you for this - my absolute favorite Peter Gabriel album and a delight to see new ears appreciate it. It's great how you pick up on the spirituality, the social commentary, and the artistry. Great review guys!
Deep cut guys - Bravo! That tinkling sound is a synthesizer played by Larry Fast who was Gabriel's keyboardist at the time Security (PG IV) was released. If you want to try another from that album, check out "Lay Your Hands On Me" or "Wallflower".
You should do the live concert of this, quite amazing.
Yes, Peter Live is solid. The fidelity of what I remember from his performance at the Agora Ballroom in Dallas is uncanny. Check out, "I Have the Touch"! Extraordinary!
Hey guys ... since it's been a year since you listened to Peter Gabriel, maybe it's time to listen once more (?). There's another song off the same album which featured "The Rhythm of the Heat" and "San Jacinto." It was a hit single titled "Shock the Monkey." Has a very cool video to boot. I was also gonna recommend "Solsbury Hill," but I think one of you mentioned you already know that one.
This song tears me up every time I hear it. It's superbly atmospheric and very moving.
I’m glad you liked this song. And given it’s maybe one of the more difficult ones by him, I think you will definitely love his hits. You should really check out Sledgehammer, Solsbury Hill, In Your Eyes and Shock the Monkey. I’m sure you’ll love them.
Thanks for this;.. he not heard for a while… almost cried
Most of the instrumentation in that intro, which continues throughout, comes from the Fairlight synthesizer, which has the ability to record sounds and make them into executable keys on the keyboard. New at the time
PG is an artist you have to really LISTEN to!
"sound samples that were processed through a Fairlight synthesizer"
Fantastic song.. you lads are very very good by the way. Usually react videos are terrible but you guys are extremely genuine. Got a sub here, keep up the good work. 👍
I'm amazed anyone would react to this piece. He goes to a completely different place. You should check out Biko and the entire soundtrack to the film Last Temptation of Christ.
If you listen to PG’a Don’t Give Up or Games Without Frontiers, they’re a great way into the also brilliant Kate Bush, who is prominent on both tracks.
Her more mainstream/better-known tracks include Running Up That Hill, Hounds of Love, Experiment IV, The Sensual World, Cloudbusting, Wuthering Heights (original and new vocal versions!), and This Woman’s Work. But if you investigate some of her earlier tracks, with similar experimental style to early 80s PG, such as this track, go straight for Breathing, which is chilling.
Ye it's California ,the song is about, if i remenber well, about a Chaman-apache initiation, he has to put his hand in a bag full of dangerous serpents, when it bit his hand with its poison circulating in his body, the aspirant of chaman is abandoned in th desert and have to survived,....sorry for my poor inglish, cheers from Barcelona.
The story of cultural erasure is intertwined with a story he heard (not directly from an Apache, and it might not have been a real thing). Supposedly, a particular tribe inducted new medicine men by having an old one take them up a mountain with a rattlesnake in a bag. At the top, the young man (I think) took mescaline/peyote, then had to let himself get bitten by the snake, and then make his way back down by himself. It was a story Gabriel heard and affected him. The snake is the "rattle in the old man's sack" in the lyrics. What gets him back down the mountain (and keeps his culture alive) is "the line of strength that pulls me through the fear."
Also look up "Battle of San Jacinto"
Ah peter gabriel so talented. He plays a lot of instruments. Probably not good to react to but you should check out his album from passion of the christ. For more popular songs he had some ground breaking video effects for the time in sledgehammer, big time and steam. I'm sure you guys have heard parts of some of those songs.
Try 'I Grieve' by Peter Gabriel ❤️
The version from Plays Live.... amazing
you're right ,all of the songs on that album are fantastic especially solsbury hill (best version) ,rythymn of the heat ,like you said san jacinto and I go swimming, the way he throws his voice on these songs is absolutely incredible....Brilliant underrated artist
check out Peter Gabriel 'Fourteen Black Paintings'; a simple song with perfectly crafted lyrics.
The percussion texture that runs through most of the song is inspired by Balinese Gamelan but I think PG actually stole/borrowed it from Steve Reich's Variations for Winds Strings & Keyboards (1979).
His biggest hit is Sledgehammer, and Shock The Monkey which I think was the single on this
If you haven't already do a REACTION to the Family Snapshot Also very intense & with connections to famous American assassinations.
Jill was his first wife. Mother of their two daughters. Peter has been married for 20 years to Maeve Flynn, and they have two sons. Just FYI.
BTW, this is one of my favorite Peter songs. My VERY favorite is the live version of "Secret World". It may be my favorite song EVER.
do the musical box by genesis , off the album nursery cryme
It's funny. I never liked many of Peter Gabriel's ballads / slower songs as a studio version, but only later in the live version.
But I don't really like the faster ones live. I prefer to hear them in the studio version.
San Jacinto is part of his Best of Album.
Not sure who’s saying it’s not a hit?
San Hah-Seen-Toe or San 'ah-Seen-Toe
React to ballad of Dwight fry by Alice cooper live from Alice cooper trashes the world
Hah Seen toe
Nobody listens to this old Gabriel stuff. Thanks! Secret World Live is a great representation of Gabriel's vision. Eat some shrooms and enjoy. Or don't . And just enjoy! Thanks again
A hit is not necessarily the best song
Vous êtes bien ridicules, mes pauvres garçons...
The first 30 seconds in this video. I suppose that's what passes for personality these days. Every cliche in the book. Guy on the right, you didn't say the title correctly. It's pronounced San Hacinto, you said San Jacinto. Ever had any jalapeno peppers?
