My favorite Peter Gabriel song! And a good version of it! If you get a chance, check out the cover of this by Jeffrey Gaines too! It's GREAT! The lady singer is Paula Cole. She has a few really good solo hits too!
This is great. Check out the studio version for more of a feel of how this works as a love song. Also, have a listen to Salisbury Hill if you haven't. Might enjoy some Genesis from way back when Peter Gabriel was lead singer.
Peter is dedicated. Dude has a vision. The Secret World Live concert video can be life changing. It's almost 30 years old and is STILL ahead of its time
@@veloraloves She also recorded I Don't Wanna Wait, the theme song for Dawson's Creek. This was maybe six months before her career exploded. I've seen a lot of live shows but the Secret World Live tour was among the best.
I had to go back and get reacquainted with Paula Cole, her voices in this video was awesome; I didn't recognize who she was, learned by the comments. As it were, I'm not a fan of her music but she has a great voice. According to the VH1 documentary I just watched she officially joined Peter Gabriel in 1993, not 1986.
@@bomagosh1252 I had forgotten that one, too. I was too into X Files by then, and aged out of those types of tv shows by a couple of years. But man...live shows were at their peak during the 90's. And like you, I've seen many. Sadly, I missed out on this one.
Agreed, one of the first. The first has to go Ginger Baker. Turned his back on the west completely and moved to Africa in the early 70s. Check out the film “beware of Mr Baker”, incredible story.
Peter Gabriel is a very unique talented artist,he's in a league all of his own....And his video's ..well if you seen them ..then you know,they will take your eyeballs on a journey.
The live version that splices together live performances spanning 40 years is fantastic. It’s a credit to PG that the band members are practically the same throughout ruclips.net/video/WeYqJxlSv-Y/видео.html
Peter Gabriel was in a group called Genesis and when he left it. Phil Collins took his place. Great talent that came out of that group. My favorite Peter Gabriel song!!
Love by Posse. The concert is on DVD: Secret World Live 1994. You MUST find quiet time to listen to the whole thing. It's on RUclips. It will take you to church. Very spiritual. And you'll never find a better group of musicians. My favorite is Manu Katche on drums. Scintillating.
I had the pleasure of seeing this tour in-person in Largo, MD (near DC.) It was increible -- I also saw him on the So tour in 1986 (I'm 50 -- so I was 16 when So came out) and it was magic. There are two stages -- round/female and square/male. This song was on the round stage. And crossing the gap between these two is a conveyor belt. Plus, Manu Katche is in the top 5 drummers in the world. One thing to note about this live version -- he added two sections - at the beginning "Accepting all I've done and said/I want to stand and stare again." Those were added after the original release of So in 1986. There's a studio version of the new arrangement as well. The low bass voice was a recording of singer Ronnie Bright. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Bright Anyway, thank you for your reaction and insight.
Amen. Lucky enough to meet him prior to a show ...we were there early, pre party in the parking lot when him & his band mates starting riding their bikes around and by us...gracious man. Made time to chat and asked where we were sitting...when we said our seats were not great, that they were behind the stage...he heard clearly....during the show he made several turns & nods our way...he performs to all. Such a wonderful showman, performer, artist, human
First, this song is amazing. The album “So” is basically a masterpiece. Gabriel is a legend. Lastly, this is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Lifts my spirit everytime. ❤️🎶🎸
This really is a fun video, isn't it? You have got to get up and dance. Love, love this. One of the most happy, great video's of all time. Can you imagine being in the crowd at the concert. I am surprised they are not dancing in the aisles. Lol. You really have to "see" this one. I think it is about South Africa during apartheid.
This version brings tears to my eyes. I have always loved this song, and this version especially! You hit the nail in the head fir me with you saying it’s more than just a man and a woman it’s spiritual. I’m a grown man crying at 4:30 am! Thank you and I appreciate you!
That scene is ICONIC ... everyone knows that scene (even people who haven’t seen the movie) 😀 Fun Fact- this song was the wedding song of Nancy Wilson and Cameron Crowe - that is why it was picked for the movie
@@rachel-in-the-208 It's probably the most famous movie reference in all of pop culture. The rest of the movie was kind of meh..but that one scene will live on for all of eternity.
That would be Solsbury Hill but absolutely right. He needs to see the original 1978 version (just Peter and a dude on acoustic guitar) and the one from this tour. Absolutely dynamite. 👍❤️
Well,I'd agree starting with the "So" album. The first 4 solo offerings not so much. His 2nd,3rd and 4th solo albums are probably my favorites of his,FWIW. But love all the others as well. The 2nd one,often referred to as the "Scratches" album is one of the most overlooked/underrated albums ever,IMO. White Shadow,On The Air,Exposure from that album are very high on my list of favorite Gabriel tunes.
I like it without all the busyness & screaming. Peter G could just stand there and sing. The song stands on it’s own - with the his band harmonizing, the original melody & lyric: Love, ‘Whichever way I go I come back to the place you are. All my instincts, they return. The grand facade, so soon will burn. Without a noise, without my pride, I reach out from the inside….. In your eyes. I am complete. In your eyes I see the doorway - (in your eyes) of a thousand churches. In your eyes The resolution - (In your eyes) to all the fruitless searches. In your eyes… Oh, I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes.’ So beautiful
You nailed it!! The meaning can be about a relationship or relationship with God. The singer is Youssou N'Dour in his native language of Wolof. So so so cool!! ❤
@@jackieforde Watching this reminds me of the time I saw PG in the 20th century. It was at the Skydome in Toronto. Indeed chilling. There were 2 stages with a moving sidewalk between them!
Peter is showing us the world the way it’s supposed to be. I saw this in San Diego during the secret world tour. It was the most moving experience in my life. Peter had 15,000 people in the palms of his hand a connection never duplicated in my concert experiences. Peter took us to a place we’d never been a place you can only exists in heaven I assume. When Jamal said it feels more like a spiritual thing is exactly what it was. All 15,000 became one and all you felt was joy and love. God was in that arena that night in my humble opinion. I won the tickets off the radio while cleaning our apartment. I think it was Devine intervention and am forever better because of it. God bless🙏🏻🇺🇸⚓️
Folks are like, “this song” or “that song” from this concert. Really, every song, the entire concert is a magical moment recorded for us all to enjoy. Video is stitched together from. A few nights.
The basso profundo voice singing “in your eyes” at the beginning is bassist Tony Levin (bald guy). He’s recorded and toured with PG ever since the 70’s, and is also the bassist for the progressive rock band, King Crimson. He’s a god among bass players.
Attended one of these shows, literally a last minute decision as I was just a casual fan. To this day the best concert I have attended. The overriding difference was the group genuinely seemed to enjoy being onstage together. Still listen to it a lot 25 years later.
Attended the show in Oakland, CA, 9/22/92 and to this day it is my #1 most memorable and enjoyable concert experience. Still watching and listening to this great performance in 2020.
RIP Papa Wemba and Paula COle in a simple gown and Doc Martins!!!!! The whole tour was amazing watch the entire vid of the concert. You will know WE ARE ALL ONE!
Such a great example of Gabriel's (and others) "World Music" movement. Beautiful. Many of those dance movements can be traced to indigenous peoples. Not just random motions
I didn't know that. But the dancing here reminds me of what Ladysmith Black Mambazo did on stage. (P.S. to Jamel...react to some LBM if you can. "Lindelani" is a good song to start with if you can find it without its unseemly association with Michael Jackson.)
@@revsharkie I'm not all that familiar w/ LBM. But I know they covered "Biko" by Gabriel. Check out this link. All in the time period & Spirit of this "World Music" Genre. Gabriel was very influential in bringing out "World Music". So cool! So fascinating! ruclips.net/video/r7X9zeK0zyQ/видео.html
Peter Gabriel was one of the greatest showmen of his generation. I'd put him up there with Freddie Mercury and David Bowie in terms of being a complete package, not just an incredible songwriter and performer, but also understanding the need for a good amount of theatricality during a live performance. Watch him on the tour he did with Sting in 2016 was a life-changing experience, and one of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't learn to really appreciate him until after the Secret World tour, so all I have of that tour is the video recording. That said -- if you get a chance to check out the song Secret World from the same tour, it's one of my favorites.
Definitely a favorite concert artist. I first saw him back in the late 70s after he left Genisis. I think I saw every one of his tours. I was never disappointed.
I’ve seen Peter Gabriel on tour a few times...Brilliant is a excellent choice of words to describe him! Once back in the 80 ‘s at a show, he fell into the audience ( on purpose 😊) and “ crowd surfed” 😳 I still have a piece of his shirt! 😂❤️
Peter Gabriel figured out WAY back in his Genesis days that overwhelming your senses with layers of audio, layers of visual images, could shape the emotional energy in the room. What you see here is a man/band/artist at the peak of his powers. 30 years of life experience making music and performing. He is phenomenal, its very hard not to get lost in it.
In 1987, Peter Gabriel’s album “SO” took me through a hospital stay. My brother brought me a Sony Walkman and the “SO” cassette. I must have listened to that tape 20 times during my stay, I loved it so much! His duo with Kate Bush, “Don’t Give Up” meant so much to me with what I going through. Thanks!!
The chick doing background vocals is Paula Cole. She had the hits "Where Have All The Cowboy's Gone" and "I Don't Wanna Wait" which is also this theme song to "Dawson's Creek"
Paula Cole is an absolute treasure of a human being. I think she was only 17 when they did this tour. The albums she later released were fire. I had the privilege of seeing her live twice, and both times my jaw was on the floor. Truly a gem. Peter was instrumental in her discovery, as he was for many artists around the world.
Love your shirt. Now, Peter Gabriel is a good human. When he performs this song he proves that the world can be a better place. A true celebration of love, music and dance
Yes it reminded me of Paul Simon's Graceland album.. what's amazing is this concert was recorded on the Secret World Tour 1994.. the sound was exceptional even then.
This was my favorite song ever recorded before I heard Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah." This is such a poetic, searing, spiritual piece of music. And Peter Gabriel's delivery both in this version and the studio version are so heartfelt. If you haven't done so already, you would enjoy reacting to Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up."
This song, this version and live performance almost takes on a spiritual transcendence, it is spectacular. The original version on the album "SO" is fantastic but this is what seeing a live performance is all about
I find i really miss your appreciation for the music & your gentle soul when I don't watch for awhile. I LOVE this live version of In Your Eyes To this day, it is still my favorite song by Peter Gabriel. Stay safe Jamel.
This is one of those performances like The Band's "The Last Waltz" and (one of your favorites) the Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" in which there is magic in a bottle being caught on film. There's no bad songs. It's uplifting and exhilarating all the way through.
Peter got inspired by african culture and melt it in his music.You have to hear Biko,Shacking the tree,Rythm of the heat,Intruder,Solsbury hill...All in live version!
I tell everyone , get the DVD . Secret World Live , if you've never seen it. Sit and watch it, when you're done you will be in awe of what you've just seen . I was never a huge fan of Peter Gabriel , and I stumbled across secret world and watched it. I was blown away , it was like a religious experience just to watch. I couldn't imagine being at that SHOW.
Peter Gabriel is one of those performers over the span of a long career who I can say puts on some of the best shows ever. I have seen countless shows and artists in my life but Peter stands out among the most memorable.
Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, and Sting all helped to introduce us to the beauty and talent of World Music, performing with big starts from Africa that we had never heard of before and opening our eyes to new rhythms, chord progressions, and languages
I hadn’t seen this performance since the concert. Gods light was shooting through all 15,000 that night. It was the most spiritual experience of my life. Everyone in every nation needs to watch this and love one another.
He's talking about humanity in the lyrics... Like you Jamel. Peter was the first person to really promote what we now call World Music and you can see a lot of the musicians in the band there. In fact he started to first world music festival WOMAD. I went to see Peter 7 years ago and to be in the audience when he did this song was just mesmerising.
Yes! I'm so glad you listened to this one! Please do Blood of Eden or Come Talk To Me from this same live concert (Secret World). The vocals are unbelievable!
As others have mentioned, the young woman singing is Paula Cole. And yes, she is an amazing singer in her own right. This song has always been amazing and this live version is by far the best version. Much of the musical influence from this song came from African influence and fits perfectly in this song. To me, this song is a song of hope. Seeing people looking into their eyes without judgement. Just love for your fellow human being no matter where we come from. We are all human and deep down inside, the vast majority of the world is good. We all want the same thing. Music is the universal language. No matter our differences, we can all come together and have a shared experience for a few hours and all of our differences fade away and mean nothing. If we could only hold on to that feeling, the world would be a much better place. Love and respect your fellow human being. We are much closer than we are apart. If we could harness that and put it into action. That continues to be my hope. Thank you for the reaction Jamel. As usual, always great. Stay safe my friend.

You are right Peter is a spiritual man and a brilliant artist.
It will never, ever get old!!
Peter Gabriel was one of the first western musicians to incorporate World Beat rhythms in his music. This just an amazing and beautiful song.
Agreed, one of the first. The first has to go Ginger Baker. Turned his back on the west completely and moved to Africa in the early 70s. Check out the film “beware of Mr Baker”, incredible story.
Best world beat song ever!
Ginger baker was the grandaddy of world beats
More. Peter. Gabriel. Any-thing. ANYTHING.
THe entire show is amazing. Manu Katche is such an atmospheric drummer. The amount of talent on that stage is staggering
'In your eyes the resolution of all the fruitless searches' is a beautiful lyric
Beautiful-- must be singing about a lost love and lost romance.

Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon went to Africa and discovered Music is Communal and Ritual/Spiritual!
Gabriel ages before SImon
Paul Simon just went there to rob.
See all those colors up on stage white, black brown, beige. That's the way music should be. I would have loved to been there
It was an amazing concert. Tears still well in my eyes when I see these videos. So happy it is finding a new audience.

One of the greatest songs ever.
Agreed. Maybe not one of the greatest dances ever though...
Jamal..please react to ..SHAKIN THE TREE....fron THIS same tour the secret garden. Peace and love.
Watching this I'm reminded of Dolly Parton's cover of Cat Stevens' Peace Train, live accompanied by Ladysmith Black Mombasa.
So true
Written for Roseanna Arquette and featured in the infamous boom box scene in Say Anything
Agree. Got to check out Salisbury Hill. Great version of him doing it live, performing it on a bicycle. Gotta love Peter
Thanks Jamel
✌️
That Paula Cole though!!!!! This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
If that doesn’t touch your soul on a UNIVERSAL level, I don’t know what will. ❤️👍
You nailed it!! The meaning can be about a relationship or relationship with God. The singer is Youssou N'Dour in his native language of Wolof. So so so cool!! ❤
Unfortunately, no Youssou N'Dour on this tour, Papa Wemba sang his part. Still an amazing show.
I think this performance is in the language of love for each other.

Papa Wemba was indeed the man singing. Check the info on the original RUclips video where the late Papa Wemba was credited.
This is, quite possibly, the greatest song ever composed.

Peter Gabriel....introduced me to World Music long ago. He is a bridge builder.
The woman is Paula Cole. Do her song 'Where Have All the Cowboys Gone' or 'I Don't Want To Wait'
Don't do either of those. Do ”Mississippi” or ”Feelin’ Love” Way better songs.
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever put to tape. God bless Peter Gabriel.

Maybe try “Biko” next - Peter Gabriel’a most socially/historically significant song about Steve Biko
It is such a moving song.
IMO, 'Red Rain' ranks up there with 'Biko'.
Dead even heat! Both strokes of mastery and message.
Such a great example of Gabriel's (and others) "World Music" movement. Beautiful. Many of those dance movements can be traced to indigenous peoples. Not just random motions
I miss the world music channels on cable TV in the 90’s. I got to experience so many artists I would not have heard of otherwise.
@@agresticumbra Me too.
I didn't know that. But the dancing here reminds me of what Ladysmith Black Mambazo did on stage. (P.S. to Jamel...react to some LBM if you can. "Lindelani" is a good song to start with if you can find it without its unseemly association with Michael Jackson.)
@@revsharkie I'm not all that familiar w/ LBM. But I know they covered "Biko" by Gabriel. Check out this link. All in the time period & Spirit of this "World Music" Genre. Gabriel was very influential in bringing out "World Music". So cool! So fascinating! ruclips.net/video/r7X9zeK0zyQ/видео.html
Peter Gabriel was one of the greatest showmen of his generation. I'd put him up there with Freddie Mercury and David Bowie in terms of being a complete package, not just an incredible songwriter and performer, but also understanding the need for a good amount of theatricality during a live performance. Watch him on the tour he did with Sting in 2016 was a life-changing experience, and one of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't learn to really appreciate him until after the Secret World tour, so all I have of that tour is the video recording.
That said -- if you get a chance to check out the song Secret World from the same tour, it's one of my favorites.
Peter Gabriel is one of the greatest musicians, ever. He is white, but that is not his fault.
He is a GENIUS. Fact.
Not his fault that he’s where? wtf? You take that racism and hit the bricks.
Peter Gabriel is brilliant in concert - I saw him three times during his Back to Back tour a few years ago.
You can't even classify it as a concert.
More like a Music and theatrical experience.
Definitely a favorite concert artist. I first saw him back in the late 70s after he left Genisis. I think I saw every one of his tours. I was never disappointed.
I’ve seen Peter Gabriel on tour a few times...Brilliant is a excellent choice of words to describe him! Once back in the 80 ‘s at a show, he fell into the audience ( on purpose 😊) and “ crowd surfed” 😳 I still have a piece of his shirt! 😂❤️
I cant believe my eyes....i have been waiting for this reaction...Wooohooo
Peter Gabriel figured out WAY back in his Genesis days that overwhelming your senses with layers of audio, layers of visual images, could shape the emotional energy in the room. What you see here is a man/band/artist at the peak of his powers. 30 years of life experience making music and performing. He is phenomenal, its very hard not to get lost in it.
Such beauty is almost unbeleivable. Peter is a strange wonder. God bless him.
peter gabriel is one of those singers that with his tones & inflections could sing the phonebook and make you move
In 1987, Peter Gabriel’s album “SO” took me through a hospital stay. My brother brought me a Sony Walkman and the “SO” cassette.
I must have listened to that tape 20 times during my stay, I loved it so much!
His duo with Kate Bush, “Don’t Give Up”
meant so much to me with what I going through.
Thanks!!
This song brings me to tears.
This is a celebration of life and diversity. I love it! #thebipolartruth
Song is about human kind! We are all one in your eyes!
The chick doing background vocals is Paula Cole. She had the hits "Where Have All The Cowboy's Gone" and "I Don't Wanna Wait" which is also this theme song to "Dawson's Creek"
This is blowing my mind
And lungs to her toenails!
I absolutely adore her take on "Don't Give Up" from this show.
Paula Cole is an absolute treasure of a human being. I think she was only 17 when they did this tour. The albums she later released were fire. I had the privilege of seeing her live twice, and both times my jaw was on the floor. Truly a gem. Peter was instrumental in her discovery, as he was for many artists around the world.
@@nathanfreeman681 This is from Peter Gabriel's 1993 Secret World tour. Paula Cole was born in 1968 so she is either 24 or 25 here.
I want to stand and stare again, in your eyes.❤❤❤
Also, look up Youssou N’Dour. He’s a Senegalese singer who does vocals for this song. He’s INCREDIBLE!!!
Líi was the soundtrack of my time in Dakar! Absolutely amazing musician.
I love Youssou N'Dour!
A great voice on the studio version. Papa Wemba is filling the role well here.
I was going to recommend Youssou N'dour. He's one of my favorite singers. Check out his song "Birima".
Both versions are excellent.
You need to listen to "Biko" from the same concert. Peter Gabriel had all the musicians from S. Africa
You need to watch that whole concert , incredible show
This video moves me every time I watch it. Thanks for your reaction, Jamel.
Love your shirt. Now, Peter Gabriel is a good human. When he performs this song
he proves that the world can be a better place. A true celebration of love, music and dance
Yes it reminded me of Paul Simon's Graceland album.. what's amazing is this concert was recorded on the Secret World Tour 1994.. the sound was exceptional even then.
This was my favorite song ever recorded before I heard Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah." This is such a poetic, searing, spiritual piece of music. And Peter Gabriel's delivery both in this version and the studio version are so heartfelt. If you haven't done so already, you would enjoy reacting to Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up."
One of the top 100 songs ever written imo
This song, this version and live performance almost takes on a spiritual transcendence, it is spectacular. The original version on the album "SO" is fantastic but this is what seeing a live performance is all about
I find i really miss your appreciation for the music & your gentle soul when I don't watch for awhile. I LOVE this live version of In Your Eyes To this day, it is still my favorite song by Peter Gabriel. Stay safe Jamel.
This is one of those performances like The Band's "The Last Waltz" and (one of your favorites) the Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" in which there is magic in a bottle being caught on film. There's no bad songs. It's uplifting and exhilarating all the way through.
Greatest song EVER!!!
Let it guide you to who YOU really are
Peter got inspired by african culture and melt it in his music.You have to hear Biko,Shacking the tree,Rythm of the heat,Intruder,Solsbury hill...All in live version!
The album version of the song is good, but this live version just elevates it to a whole different level.
By far my favorite version. Just moves everything in me.
Athens 87 is also excellent.
This is a great version -- Peter Gabriel is such an imaginative showman.
How can you NOT smile watching this...how can you not dance!
It's a real joy to see a brother listening to this song and these artists and being at a lose for words as the rest of us were.
This entire concert was awesome.
This touched my heart, it made me cry. Thank you Jamel.
I tell everyone , get the DVD . Secret World Live , if you've never seen it. Sit and watch it, when you're done you will be in awe of what you've just seen . I was never a huge fan of Peter Gabriel , and I stumbled across secret world and watched it. I was blown away , it was like a religious experience just to watch. I couldn't imagine being at that SHOW.
@@jefferydellinger7422 - Same...
You have to be dead inside not to feel when hearing this. What a great decade for music.... we were so fortunate.
Peter Gabriel is one of those performers over the span of a long career who I can say puts on some of the best shows ever.
I have seen countless shows and artists in my life but Peter stands out among the most memorable.
Look at the smile on your face...this performance does this to me too, every time I see it...its a mystical experience...just love the whole vibe.
Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, and Sting all helped to introduce us to the beauty and talent of World Music, performing with big starts from Africa that we had never heard of before and opening our eyes to new rhythms, chord progressions, and languages
Everyone living in 2020 needs to watch this right now, every day.
Too busy building a time machine to get the f**k out of 2020. When I finish it, I will comply. ;)
I hadn’t seen this performance since the concert. Gods light was shooting through all 15,000 that night. It was the most spiritual experience of my life. Everyone in every nation needs to watch this and love one another.
Happy 2021!
He's talking about humanity in the lyrics... Like you Jamel. Peter was the first person to really promote what we now call World Music and you can see a lot of the musicians in the band there. In fact he started to first world music festival WOMAD.
I went to see Peter 7 years ago and to be in the audience when he did this song was just mesmerising.
THIS IS MY FAV SONG FROM HIM AND MY FAV PERFORMANCE! THIS SONG IS SO DEEP
This was the song John Cusak's held up boombox was playing in the movie "Say Anything".
Wow! Zoomed right to that moment and what a trip it was. Tears, even. So nostalgic right now it hurts. xo
He has so many greats. "Blood of Eden" always gets me.
Peter Gabriel gives out such a positive life force. Have been a fan since I was a child.
This is lovely performance, everyone having fun being happy.
Very deep song! Personally, my favorite! Peter Gabrielle is in my top 5 most talented of all time!😊
This gave my whole body the chills.
Music is healing.
Namaste 🙏🏼
💜💫✌🏼🎵
Yes! I'm so glad you listened to this one! Please do Blood of Eden or Come Talk To Me from this same live concert (Secret World). The vocals are unbelievable!
As others have mentioned, the young woman singing is Paula Cole. And yes, she is an amazing singer in her own right. This song has always been amazing and this live version is by far the best version. Much of the musical influence from this song came from African influence and fits perfectly in this song. To me, this song is a song of hope. Seeing people looking into their eyes without judgement. Just love for your fellow human being no matter where we come from. We are all human and deep down inside, the vast majority of the world is good. We all want the same thing.
Music is the universal language. No matter our differences, we can all come together and have a shared experience for a few hours and all of our differences fade away and mean nothing. If we could only hold on to that feeling, the world would be a much better place. Love and respect your fellow human being. We are much closer than we are apart. If we could harness that and put it into action. That continues to be my hope.
Thank you for the reaction Jamel. As usual, always great. Stay safe my friend.
is she's really paula cole?
wow
One of the most beautiful songs ever created.
We were at that concert it was amazing and that song was our wedding song.
OMG I love this song. Peter Gabriel is a legend! Paula Cole is incredible!
You would enjoy his whole concert. He has so many talented people around him.
