The entire album "So" is a masterpiece. Peter Gabriel's depth of talent runs through every song. His voice, his lyrics and his music creates tapestries of sound and emotion. Listen to "Don't Give Up (with Kate Bush)" , "Mercy Street" and "Red Rain". They're Deep.
Couldn’t agree more, Davo! I’ve still got it on vinyl. I also love PG’s album with ‘Shock the Monkey’. I can’t think of the name of the album, though. 🤷♀️💖💖💖
Phil blending his voice with Peter's when doing backing vocals for years really set Phil up to be the natural replacement when Peter left Genesis - but the band took a bit of time - and many auditions by others - before they realized that fact.
Great live performance of the song here at his Secret World concert back in the 1990s ruclips.net/video/evN6DIGPIJM/видео.html&ab_channel=PeterGabriel Lyrics: [Verse 1: Peter Gabriel] Love, I get so lost sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away, I drive off in my car But whichever way I go, I come back to the place you are [Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel] All my instincts, they return And the grand façade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside [Chorus: Peter Gabriel] In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway In your eyes to a thousand churches In your eyes the resolution In your eyes of all the fruitless searches In your eyes In your eyes Oh, I see the light and the heat In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes Oh, I wanna be that complete In your eyes, the light, the heat In your eyes I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes [Verse 2: Peter Gabriel] Love, I don't like to see so much pain So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive [Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel] And all my instincts, they return And the grand façade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside [Chorus: Peter Gabriel] In your eyes your eyes, your eyes In your eyes In your eyes the light, the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway To a thousand churches In your eyes the resolution In your eyes of all the fruitless searches Oh, I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I wanna be that complete In your eyes I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes [Outro: Youssou N'Dour] Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
The back up vocalist is Youssou N'Dour from Senegal. To see the two of them perform this song live is breathtaking. You're correct about the drum work. Peter Gabriel is known for using pioneering new recording techniques. Rolling Stone ranked "So" #187 of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and Colin Larkin ranked it #82 of the 1000 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Jan Uzzell Definitely!!! 👍 I’ve been requesting that collaboration for literally months! Also, if you haven’t seen it, check out Youssou and Dido singing 7 Seconds live. It’s a beauty! 💖💖💖
Solsbury Hill has been my favorite song for so many years. PG is one of those singers who can bring me to tears every time I listen. This song does it too.
InChicago Jackie Hearing Biko live in concert is amazing. I’ve seen PG live many times and the song always ends with the whole audience singing the refrain.
I can see there's a lot of baby boomers who subscribe to your page Jayvee. It's nice to listen old Hits with someone who appreciate them and you are always smiling. Keep this nice attitude young man 👍
Peter Gabriel is a great musician, but his biggest impact in my life has been through the record label he started, “Real World Records.” This was the first top-notch world music label I knew of, and through it I discovered so many artists I love, like Totó La Momposina and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He also started a huge world music festival company, and he has been a human rights activist for decades. 👏👏👏
that moment with the box is etched in my memory forever. cant hear this song without it instantly bringing me there. one of my all time favorite flicks. right outta high school when this came out..
He is truly amazing in concert.. I really wasn’t a major fan, we won the tickets and it was one of the best shows ever! I remember when they played this in the movie Say Anything it was a moment in movie history! John Cusack holding up his boom box... priceless...
Wow I have been listening to Peter for 48 years, he is so different. There’s no words for this level of greatness. His has always been there, from when I was a little boy, to a now old man.
Youssou N'Dour is the singer at the end. He's from Senegal who also sang a hit duet called "7 Seconds" with Nenah Cherry (of "Buffalo Stance" fame) - definitely worth a listen.
Youssou N'Dour is fantastic, his album from a little later than this time period "The Lion" (1989) is wonderful. Youssou also sings "Shaking the Tree" with Peter Gabriel on that one. Youssou and Peter also team up on vocals for the remake of the song Peter wrote, "Biko," when it was performed by Manu Dibango, the sax player and singer from Cameroon, on his album "Wakafrika" (1994). i swear i thought Geoffrey Oryema from Uganda was on this as well, but i'm not seeing it here. i'm sure this album is where i learned about him tho.
Peter Gabriel is so much more than the So album even though it was his commercial peak. Earlier songs like Here Comes The Flood, On The Air, Intruder, I Go Swimming, Rhythm Of The Heat. All totally worth listening to. He was more experimental than this album sounds. It’s still a great album, but he’s a very interesting artist.
Peter Gabriel did two gorgeous duets with amazing women. "Don't Give Up" with Kate Bush and "Blood of Eden" with Sinead O'Connor..I know you've been impressed by all three of these artists!
"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed."
The singer at the end of the song is Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour who is a hugely popular singer in his home country. Peter Gabriel is known for highlighting musicians from around the world and Youssou N’Dour has collaborated with him on many songs.
This is such a great song! No one from the 80’s could forget this song from the “Say Anything” movie. Totally agree the Gabriel duet with Kate Bush, “Don’t Give Up”, off this album would be great to do next. These songs are all different but equally great.
Peter Gabriel was the original lead singer of Genesis. Phil Collins was the drummer during that period (1970-1975). You should try the following Peter Gabriel’s songs: Signal to Noise, don’t give up, red rain, rythm of the heat, wallflower, san jacinto, shock the monkey, games without frontiers, family snapshot, Biko. Sorry for the long list of songs...
MY DUDE ! This is some of the best writing anywhere. LOVE this song. In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution of all the fruitless searches. .....( It says it all) ...................PEACE !
“Shaking the Tree” live from the Secret World concert is another great song. Someone else gave the link...this song is also wonderful from that concert 🎶🔥🎶
Great song was used in the 80s movie Say Anything. John Cusack holds a boom box above his head playing this song to his love interest basically letting the lyrics tell her his feelings ☺️👍
I have loved Peter since I was 15 and he was in Genesis. He founded the WOMAD festival. I walked 14 miles to see him perform and I got a backstage view of him preparing to go on. He saw me and gave me a wink - bliss!
For the most part Peter Gabriel is the vocalist but he does play drums keyboard flute oboe and probably a few other instruments because he’s an energetic performer he usually just fronts the band but he writes all of their stuff
Not to say he doesn't tour with awesome musicians, but I don't think you do him justice. He is a composer/song writer and instrumentalist as well. He composed the score for "The Last Temptation of Christ"--a true masterpiece--after studying music and instruments of the Middle Eastern world. He is a most remarkable artist.
You’re absolutely right about the drums. There were two different drummers playing two different grooves. Manu Katché played a world style groove while Jerry Marotta played a straight 16th rock beat. Pretty much every track from this album was amazing! I would recommend checking out Red Rain, Don’t Give Up, and Mercy Street
The ad-libs at the end of the song were the Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour - one of the most famous singers on the entire African continent. Also, Peter had both of the amazing drummers he works with, Manu Katché and Jerry Marotta play on this, and in addition to a normal drum kit, Manu played talking drum, which has a hide head with strings running down along the body which you can squeeze to change the pitch of the drum as you play. It's common in African and Indian music. If you liked that drumming and you're ready for a much deeper and darker piece, try "The Rhythm of the Heat" from his fourth album, Peter Gabriel (Security). The ending of the song has the entire Ekome Dance Company from Ghana drumming and is very intense. Thanks! Peace from SF
I know someone who used this as his wedding song. Solsbury Hill has always been my favorite. Also Here Comes the Flood, Biko, etc. The vocals at the end are by the Senegalese artist Youssou N'Dour.
Peter Gabriel. I mean, what can you say? This was a bit the summer I was pregnant and I listened to it over and over; it became my favorite. Then my daughter went absolutely crazy over him and we went together to see him at Red Rocks. And now my grandson is named Peter Gabriel.
I’ve seen Peter Gabriel five times and I remember each and every song to you each and every show he’s an amazing performer what album with you touring with thank you saw him at red rocks
You will love the LIVE VERSION of this song from the Secret World Live concert in Italy in 1993! WOW!!! The singing, the musicians, the dancing, engaging to say the least! ❤️
Mr. Gabriel has been my fav forever. Was fortunate to see him live decades ago at Greek Theatre in Berkeley when he would stand on the edge of the stage, outstretch his arms and fall into the crowd below (they caught him of course). His music touches my soul deeply, glad you are finding that too.
'In your eyes' live Secret World Tour. Feast for the eyes and the ears. Best version of this song, I think. All the musicians and singers so brilliant. In fact the whole Secret World Tour is wonderful.
Peter is a huge champion of “World Music”. You can hear the influence here. Love Solsbury Hill too as others have suggested but also have a listen to his vocals on Carpet Crawlers when he was in Genesis. I love that song.
Peter Gabriel is amazing. Beautiful voice, great, unique songwriter. This whole album So is great. Self titled Games Without Frontiers album also all great. Peter Gabriel in Genesis, also great. All excellence.
One of my all time favorite songs of all time! Like Rick Beato said on his what makes this song great of this song: ''if you don't like this song, there is something wrong with you'
The entire album "So" is a masterpiece. Peter Gabriel's depth of talent runs through every song. His voice, his lyrics and his music creates tapestries of sound and emotion. Listen to "Don't Give Up (with Kate Bush)" , "Mercy Street" and "Red Rain". They're Deep.
I agree 100%!
Best album ever
CenRn Jones Peter Gabriel has always been fabulous from day one.
@ted ritola 'Grab your things, I'm coming to take you home' 💫💖
Couldn’t agree more, Davo! I’ve still got it on vinyl. I also love PG’s album with ‘Shock the Monkey’. I can’t think of the name of the album, though. 🤷♀️💖💖💖
"Red Rain" is another Peter Gabriel song that shows his voice off
Superb song Red Rain. The guys voice is something else.
I love that one so so much that and the book of love! his voice hits you in the heart man
Peter Gabriel is another rabbit hole to go down. Every damn track on this album is great. The duet with Kate Bush “ Don’t Give Up” is heartbreaking.
Peter Gabriel was the original lead singer of Genesis with Phil Collins
Phil blending his voice with Peter's when doing backing vocals for years really set Phil up to be the natural replacement when Peter left Genesis - but the band took a bit of time - and many auditions by others - before they realized that fact.
Kind of true - not quite.
Love Salisbury hill !
He did play with Peter he left phil came
Always loved Peter Gabriel's voice!
You need to hold a boombox above your head. It’s required with this one.
Say Anything!! One of my all time favorite movies.
Lloyd Dobler (John Cusak) forever.
Perfect comment!
Yaaaass
@@jackieknows9129 Lloyd Lloyd null and void. 😅
Great live performance of the song here at his Secret World concert back in the 1990s ruclips.net/video/evN6DIGPIJM/видео.html&ab_channel=PeterGabriel
Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
Love, I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away, I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go, I come back to the place you are
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
All my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes I am complete
In your eyes I see the doorway
In your eyes to a thousand churches
In your eyes the resolution
In your eyes of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
In your eyes Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
[Pre-Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel]
In your eyes your eyes, your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes the light, the heat
In your eyes I am complete
In your eyes I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
In your eyes the resolution
In your eyes of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes
I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
[Outro: Youssou N'Dour]
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir

Hey thank you for that exquisite gift. Probably would never have come accross that if you hadnt put in the link. Ta :)
the "Secret World Live" is a masterpiece, and the version of "In Your Eyes" is completely brilliant, gives me the chills.
If you liked this you might also like: Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't give up.
One of my favs
Great song
A very touching video. Simple but quite lovely..
Love that song. My hubby played it for me when my depression was kicking my butt.
The one with Paula Cole is the best.
The back up vocalist is Youssou N'Dour from Senegal. To see the two of them perform this song live is breathtaking. You're correct about the drum work.

Rolling Stone ranked "So" #187 of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and Colin Larkin ranked it #82 of the 1000 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Another of Youssou N'Dour's collaborations would be with Neneh Cherry - 6 Seconds - really powerful
Jan Uzzell Definitely!!! 👍 I’ve been requesting that collaboration for literally months! Also, if you haven’t seen it, check out Youssou and Dido singing 7 Seconds live. It’s a beauty! 💖💖💖
The best performance of this is live in Athens in1987. On RUclips or course.
Peter Gabriel has been working with french drummer Manu Katché for many of his stage performances
Youssou N'Dour is yet ANOTHER rabbit hole, lol.
One of the most romantic songs ever.
Jay, please react to Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill". It's a great song 🔥
Absolutely...the Live version.
Tiger Williams this is my favourite song ever!
Completely agree.
Really great song. One of gabriel's best. One of the best songs ever
Solsbury Hill has been my favorite song for so many years. PG is one of those singers who can bring me to tears every time I listen. This song does it too.
“See the doorway to 1,000 churches” One of my favorite lyrics 😍
He started to collaborate with African artists at that time and it was marvelous.
I think it was Youssou Ndour
He had some wonderful African drummers as well, which always adds so much texture to a song..
He did an amazing tribute/protest song about South-African activist Steve Biko, killed in 1977-Song Title Biko
InChicago Jackie Hearing Biko live in concert is amazing. I’ve seen PG live many times and the song always ends with the whole audience singing the refrain.
@@sheb77 The song also introduced the issue of apartheid to a world music audience that may not have been aware.
Biko is an amazing song. He did it at the concert for Nelson Mandela. The live version is on the 42664 album.
I found it!
ruclips.net/video/9DeEhq2UaXE/видео.html
An incredibly powerful song that will hopefully keep Steven Biko in the living mind for generations to come
Forever linked to the movie "Say Anything...", a great movie.
No, it wasn't... And I love John Cusack...
stang7342 I liked this song before the movie, yet now I always think of the movie when I hear it.
With the John Cusack and the stereo.
I loved this movie! And John Cusack😍😍
My favorite movie. Song reminds me of my first love.
Solsbury Hill.
Always make me think of Dad along with My Hero by Foo Fighters
Hey Jay, you should check out Solsbury Hill and Games Without Frontiers. Both awesome songs.
I was about to suggest both of those.
Yeah I don’t think he’s ready for intruder yet! 😂
Yes!
Solsbury Hill is perfection!❤️
♥️👌👏
Try listening to Peter Gabriel singing BIG TIME! I love ❤️ that one.
Shock the monkey by Peter Gabriel is a great song too
Red rain on this album is awesome too
Red rain is on the album “us” not “So”
@@kathyrams no its on So
I love this song very classic by the one and only Peter Gabriel. This song is from the movie Say Anything.... starring John Cusack👍😎
Was a teen when this came out. How many girls dreamed of their guy holding a boom box over their head playing this song? Ah youth, where'd you go?
Leah Carlson 🙋♀️
For the longest time John Cusak hated the reference -recently though he embraced a meme of him holding the boombox with a Listen to Bernie hashtag.
this song is the reason no one is allowed to make fun of John Cusack ever
Peter Gabriel - Shakin The Tree is a great song, live version is amazing.
Peter Gabriel is a worldly treasure. There's no one else like him.
I can see there's a lot of baby boomers who subscribe to your page Jayvee.

Oh my favorite from Peter 💗. This song is special and of course you can't forget the boom box scene from the movie Say Anything 🤗
that moment with the box is etched in my memory forever. cant hear this song without it instantly bringing me there. one of my all time favorite flicks. right outta high school when this came out..
In 1986 two massive albums were released: Peter Gabriel "So" and Paul Simon "Graceland".
He is truly amazing in concert.. I really wasn’t a major fan, we won the tickets and it was one of the best shows ever! I remember when they played this in the movie Say Anything it was a moment in movie history! John Cusack holding up his boom box... priceless...
Wow I have been listening to Peter for 48 years, he is so different. There’s no words for this level of greatness. His has always been there, from when I was a little boy, to a now old man.
One of the greatest love songs ever. The longing he puts in his voice is otherworldly.
Youssou N'Dour is the singer at the end. He's from Senegal who also sang a hit duet called "7 Seconds" with Nenah Cherry (of "Buffalo Stance" fame) - definitely worth a listen.
Oh!!! Yes. 7 seconds... That's a fantastic song I haven't heard it in too long
Thanks neatdesign.
Youssou N'Dour is fantastic, his album from a little later than this time period "The Lion" (1989) is wonderful. Youssou also sings "Shaking the Tree" with Peter Gabriel on that one.

My favorite Peter Gabriel song, have to stop everything and listen and just lose myself in it any time it comes on any of my local radio stations.
Sharilyn Bratton Fall of 86, my first year of college! I wore out the cassette
Peter Gabriel is so much more than the So album even though it was his commercial peak. Earlier songs like Here Comes The Flood, On The Air, Intruder, I Go Swimming, Rhythm Of The Heat. All totally worth listening to. He was more experimental than this album sounds. It’s still a great album, but he’s a very interesting artist.
I’m not sure he’s ready for intruder yet LOL
This is me and my husband song when we first started dating. Ohhhh the feels🥰🥰🥰🥰
You would probably also enjoy his duet with Kate Bush, "Don't Give up Up"
It's great.
Mercy Street from that album is soo good. Also Don't Give Up and Red Rain. I played the hell out of that CD back in the day
I was so in to this album when I was 11 years old in 1986. In Your Eyes is one of the greatest recordings of all time.
Peter Gabriel did two gorgeous duets with amazing women. "Don't Give Up" with Kate Bush and "Blood of Eden" with Sinead O'Connor..I know you've been impressed by all three of these artists!

“So” is definitely a masterpiece. Check out his song “Sky Blue” on his album “Up.”
Sky Blue is an incredible song...

Thank you for getting to Peter Gabriel again. He is the best. Try “Don’t Give Up”. And “Solsbury Hill”.
Peter Gabriel is a genius composer but live performances are even more fabulous. His daughter sings with him on his live show...

Song is from a great 80's movie called Say Anything. The song really compliments the movie.
Do ALL the Peter Gabriel!
Nick Cangemi I always said that Peter Gabriel, is number one in a field of one! His really that good.
This song is forever remembered for its use in the film Say Anything. One of the most romantic scenes in film history.
Try Digging In The Dirt
If you'd like to see a fun video by PG check out "Big Time".
This is such a great song! No one from the 80’s could forget this song from the “Say Anything” movie. Totally agree the Gabriel duet with Kate Bush, “Don’t Give Up”, off this album would be great to do next. These songs are all different but equally great.
There's two drummers on this recording: Jerry Marotta and Manu Katche.
luisalonsoecheverria Manu Katche is incredible! I think he’s played on some of Sting’s records, too.

“Game without frontiers” and “don’t give up” with Kate Bush you will dig that for sure man.

Love Peter Gabriel his voice is beautiful 💯♥️
This record is proof that if you give one brilliant artist complete control that you get a masterpiece.
His entire album “So” is masterful
Thats Youssou Ndour singing in the background. He us a well known singer from Senegal.

Great song was used in the 80s movie Say Anything. John Cusack holds a boom box above his head playing this song to his love interest basically letting the lyrics tell her his feelings ☺️👍

I heard he wrote this about Rosanna Arquette, his lady 💘
Yep and so was Rosanna by Toto!
I think all love ballads in the 80s were about her, TBH 😂
Gabriel is just the singer. He tours with awesome studio musicians.
For the most part Peter Gabriel is the vocalist but he does play drums keyboard flute oboe and probably a few other instruments because he’s an energetic performer he usually just fronts the band but he writes all of their stuff

Back up vocals were done by Youssou N'Dour who is from Senegal in west Africa
Now go watch Say Anything..and you will never feel the same way about this song ❤
Mr. Gabriel has been my fav forever. Was fortunate to see him live decades ago at Greek Theatre in Berkeley when he would stand on the edge of the stage, outstretch his arms and fall into the crowd below (they caught him of course). His music touches my soul deeply, glad you are finding that too.
A track that was woven into the fabric of my being in the 80s. Gives me goosebumps every time. Even in 2022.
Peter Gabriel has such a distinctive voice. I love it!
'In your eyes' live Secret World Tour. Feast for the eyes and the ears. Best version of this song, I think. All the musicians and singers so brilliant. In fact the whole Secret World Tour is wonderful.
Peter is a huge champion of “World Music”. You can hear the influence here. Love Solsbury Hill too as others have suggested but also have a listen to his vocals on Carpet Crawlers when he was in Genesis. I love that song.
Peter Gabriel is amazing. Beautiful voice, great, unique songwriter. This whole album So is great. Self titled Games Without Frontiers album also all great. Peter Gabriel in Genesis, also great. All excellence.
One of my all time favorite songs of all time!
Like Rick Beato said on his what makes this song great of this song: ''if you don't like this song, there is something wrong with you'
