Peter Gabriel - Four Kinds of Horses (Bright-Side Mix)

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Four Kinds of Horses is the fifth song to be released from the Peter Gabriel's forthcoming album i/o. This is the Bright-Side Mix by Mark 'Spike' Stent. Released on the full moon, 5 May 2023.
Written by Peter Gabriel and produced by Peter Gabriel and Richard Russell, Four Kinds of Horses was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire, The Beehive and Copper House in London.
"Four Kinds of Horses actually began on Richard Russell’s project ‘Everything Is Recorded’. He’s a friend (and founder of XL Records) and he asked me to pop in to his studio. I came up with some chords, melodies and words on top of a groove he was working on. We tried a few things that didn't altogether work and so it laid dormant for quite a while. Then I started playing around with it again and changed the mood and the groove and something else began to emerge with a better chorus."
There were a number of things that triggered ideas for the song as it developed, including the Buddhist parable of the Four Kinds of Horses, which describes different ways a student can approach their spiritual practice. There is also a focus on “the interesting overlap of religion and peace on the one hand and violence and terrorism on the other. There was also a wonderful film by Hany Abu-Assad called ‘Paradise Now’ which shows two young men who end up being trained to become terrorists and it's a real insight into where the head goes.”
As well as Russell, who set things in motion, Four Kinds of Horses also features Brian Eno on synths which “sounded like electric worms to me,” says Gabriel. “As soon as I heard one I thought they would make a great three dimensional wall paper of sound and asked Brian to create eleven more.” John Metcalfe again provides string arrangements, “beautiful work and as the song progresses, the strings play a key role” and backing vocals from Peter’s daughter Melanie, “another lovely moment for a dad.”
Continuing the theme of working with a different artist for each song release, this month’s track is accompanied by a cover image featuring the work of Cornelia Parker.
This month we have a fascinating artist, Cornelia Parker, who does some extraordinary work. When we were originally looking at the Art from Us project, I'd seen some of her stuff with exploding rooms and had been fascinated by that, so I'm really happy that she agreed to work with us on this. The photogravure technique of William Henry Fox Talbot was an inspiration for her in this piece, and some of the other glass-based images in the series. I fell in love with this particular work - it's called ‘Snap.’
Just like the previous full moon releases, Four Kinds of Horses will come with differing mix approaches from Mark ‘Spike’ Stent (Bright-Side Mix), here, plus Tchad Blake (Dark-Side Mix) and Hans-Martin Buff’s Atmos mix (In-Side Mix).
As well as new music, Peter Gabriel is about to embark on a tour with dates in the UK, Europe and North America on sale now. livenation.com / petergabriel.com
Further details on the release plans for the full album will follow.

I saw PG I/O show last night and was absolutely blown away ! I have seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts in my lifetime and this definitely ranks at or near the top ! Brilliant musicians accompanying Peter and his voice was spectacular. I couldn't sleep all night as the music was running through my head and I didn't want it to end ! Very few shows out there can top this ! The man is a gift to us all that we should appreciate with all our hearts !
Seeing him in DC in two days and looking forward to it! Kind of embarrassed to admit, I did not know i/o was a new album. Just thought it was the tour name. Glad to discover it before!
Just saw him it Pittsburgh last night and I agree wholeheartedly ❣️
Going to the concert on 10/2. I can't wait!!!!
Was at the DC show (my birthday) and agree with these sentiments ... stunned at how good his new material is.
Going to the 10/3 concert in minneapolis. Saw Peter in early 2000’s. Can’t wait for this concert!!
The man is and has always been a genius
Pure Genius.
Such good fortune, Mr Gabriel leaving us these songs,-
this gorgeous dirge, helps me to cut some slack,-
especially the chorus at 4:20....
Non ho parole.Gabriel e’geniale e ha una voce unica.Grande Peter ci vediamo a Milano!
Ok Stefano ci sarò anch'io, non vedo l'ora 👍
Intrygujące i zachwycające od pierwszego przesłuchania. Zapowiada się wspaniały album. Mistrz Peter Gabriel w świetnej formie.
If you haven’t already, listen to Peter’s new tracks on a high quality stereo and speakers rather than headphones. It’ll blow your mind.
What a brilliant song, thanks.
Peter Gabriel is 73 years old.
This song is fucking awesome.
Ich stimme zu. Das ist ein eindrucksvolles Lied
@@klauskaufmann5745 Ich liebe ihn seit ich 16 war
Love the atmosphere to this song, one of the best on the new album for me.
Une fois de plus, Peter Gabriel nous transporte ailleur avec sa musique et sa sensibilité. J'aime cet artiste depuis que je suis enfant. Je l'ai connu par l'entremise de ma mère qui était fan de Genesis. Elle me faisait écouter des pièces comme Firth of Fifth, The Fountain of Salmacis, The Cinema Show et The Carpet Crawlers. J'ai été extrèmement chanceux et choyé d'avoir pu lui serrer la main lorsqu'il est venu faire son spectacle de la tournée Growing Up live à Montréal.
This is easily my favorite of the new songs so far. Great stuff.
30 years ago when I was wakening, I was with a whole group of likeminded people really enjoying my life and you came along with your very inspiring music which blew my mind. This new song is lovely and lovely to hear your voice again. Brings so much memories. By the I am an Aquarium just like yourself, born 13 February🥰
UNICO INIMITABILE ARTISTA MONDIALE DEGLI ULTIMI 50 ANNI
Sono pienamente d'accordo con te, sono un sardo che vive a Torino e ascolto Peter dal 1972 anno in cui lo visto per la prima volta coi Genesis...
Perfection
Four Kinds of Horses (Bright-Side Mix) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It all seemed so simple
Remarkably clear
Like the darkest superhero
You were burst into our fear
They must have seen you looking
Watched everything you said
Knowing you could be a part of it
They fill your head
Fill your head
[Pre-Chorus]
Come all the nights
Oh, come all the days
So inaccessible in this land
This land beyond the brilliant haze
Here is all your money
There is the load
This is how you travel
If you live to see the world explode
[Chorus]
Four kinds of horses, four kinds of mеn
Ah, you say you’re something differеnt
But you do it all again
Four kinds of horses, four kinds of men
Ah, you think you’re something different
But you do it all again
Again and again, again and again
[Verse 2]
Your mind is made up so certain what is right
But when they ordered everything
Will they see you were born so bright
Oh, mother illusion with your jacket of flames
Your face it is everywhere
Such a dark, dark shade of fame
[Pre-Chorus]
Come all the nights
Oh, come all the days
So inaccessible in this land
This land beyond the brilliant haze
Here is all your money
There is the load
This how you travel
If you live to see the world explode
[Chorus]
Four kinds of horses, four kinds of men
Ah, you say you’re something different
But you do it all again
Four kinds of horses, four kinds of men
Ah, you think you’re something different
But you do it all again
Again and again, again and again
[Instrumental bridge]
[Outro]
We feel the vibration
We’re all holding it down
We feel the vibration
It’s coming out of the ground
We feel the vibration
We’re all holding it down
We feel the vibration
It’s coming out of the ground
We feel the vibration
We’re all holding it down
We feel the vibration
It’s coming out of the ground
We feel the vibration
We’re all holding it down
We feel the vibration
It’s coming out of the ground
Emozionante...❤
Thank you so much for the transcription of the lyrics!
Grazie ❤
Thank you!
👍 thanks!
So brilliant.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!
Mesmerizing!
Last night my son and I saw the most beautiful full moon. Majestic. And i thought "New Pete!!!!". Thanks friend for another wonderful song. Lifelong fan who is VERY much enjoying i/o.
I think David Essex would feel right at home singing this song.
I just love this
beautiful and sublime
Just another brilliant piece from The Master himself. Every time he gives the world new music, he makes my life a little bit better :-) ever since he left Genesis, everything is just mindblowing, and this is just another proof of that, fantastic PG. He finally got to sing with his long lost daugther, Melanie, live that is, on the world tour, on Come talk to me, like 20 years ago. Thought that was amazing. Love this guy and love the ongoing i/o-project!! And the hidden Blue Ball songs, starring the master, are just….you said it, mindblowing. Thanx, Peter G!!!
So simple, yet simply another masterpiece.
This could be the opening song for the next James Bond.
Sweet one , my heart ❤️ is with you
Are you being treated well?
Christa, believe in you
Where are you?
Are you being treated well?
Well this proto-ape is pleasantly electrified by Peter once again!
Sorry, there is someone who is an English mother tongue who can tell me exactly what he says from 5.30 onwards because I hear something different from the official texts, sorry for my English. Greetings from Italy...
Peter is mystro
🐴🐎🎠🦓 ❤
A plausible
Fish tez jest warty uwagi polecam
Peter is one of the rare older musicians where their new music is just as vital and incredible as anything he's done in his whole career...not that we expected anything else! The absolute best
David Bowies the only other one i would put in that category. It probably helps taking a break like they both did to recharge their creative batteries
I totally agree with you Matt. Jonathan Barry, Dublin, Ireland.
i know it's taken him 30 years on/off to make this album but it's worth it. i'd rather have an artist work on their own pace to make something great than create something that isn't fully-realized after a few years of work.
Totally agree. Maybe it’s that I’ve aged as well, but Gabriel, Bowie, and Prince are all fine wines. I’d predict Janelle Monae and Laura Mvula show the same promise based on current output.
That's not rare to me, fortunately!
Peter Gabriel = Unparalleled musician.
Right silver surfer! And we are unparalleled Listener's 💯🆒
Absolutely, agree
I couldn't agree more mate !!
Hello friend.
Correct
I have just listened to 'Four Kinds of Horses', and it is superb. At 73 years of age, how is his voice this good. Like the finest of wine Peter Gabriel's voice is getting better and better. His voice on this song is achingly gorgeous, full of richness, pathos, integrity, authority, sincerity, maturity and power. The lyrics are beautiful and moving and the chorus is compelling to the ear. I'm listening to Peter's music 50 very long years, and he just keeps giving and giving. He is an extraordinary talent and a once in a generation singer/songwriter. This album is a triumph. Jonathan Barry, artist and author, Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland.
I just thought about his voice today and can not agree more. HIs voice is magically same as it was many years ago.
Thanks a million Anna for your kind reply. His voice is gorgeous for a 73 year old. It's uplifting and inspiring that his voice is so good at this age. He sounds like a 30 year old in top form. Thanks for your positive words. Jonathan Barry.
I was considering his voice just now and it sounds better than it did when I was 13 in 1984. The beautiful high notes still resonate and cause me to cry as it has the beauty of no other. It is a joyous cry. That is how he has always made me feel.
@@NiamhCullen Thanks Desi, I couldn't agree more. Believe it or not I have been listening to Peter since his first single in 1968, when he was 18 years of age. He released his very first then with Genesis, and even then his voice was unique and different. By the time he sang the glorious song called 'The Carpet Crawlers', aged 25 , on the Genesis album 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' in 1975 - he voice had already reached a maturity and grace far beyond his years. I remember even then in 1975 thinking this man's voice had an extraordinary gift to tell a story with integrity, depth, and soul. That was almost 50 years ago.
I would never have believed it possible that half a century later in 2023, that voice would continue to deepen, mature and morph into an even more gorgeous and vital sound. It's true that Robert Plant and Elton John's voices have also been well maintained, (and both in their 70's), but what other singer/songwriter in the whole world of that era is producing anything of this high quality, with a voice that is still getting better? There is none.
I would need hours to give full examples of where Gabriel's voice has been magnificent over the past 50 years: 'Solsbury Hill' in 1977, 'San Jacinto' in 1980, 'Walk Through the Fire' in 1984, 'Sketchpad With Trumpet and Voice' from Birdy in 1985, 'Red Rain' from 1986, 'Steam' and 'Only Us' from 1992, etc, etc, all seminal songs where his voice is brilliant.
But to think that his voice can be this gorgeous in 2023, with an even greater power to make one cry - well that is incredible. Truly majesterial. I think IO is going to be a better album than UP, and that is some legacy for him. I can think of no other comparable singer/ songwriter that has so consistently moved me for half a century - and more to come. Jonathan Barry, artist and author, Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland.
When it comes to Birdy... Wallflower. It says it all. "Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred."
I am currently in a clinic for psychosomatic illnesses, working on my burnout and depression. This song fits just so well in so many elements. I feel this song very much!
Take Care Christa!!
@@ThreeToesofFury I'm working on it! Thanks!
Happy recovery with the healing music of Peter.
Stay strong Christa. One day at a time. Look for the victories and good things. I been there, seen the dark places and they are still there but I shine light on them and I am in control. So shine on and let your radiance illuminate through the universe.
All the best to you Christa. My Son is also in a mental health ward but getting better day by day. Three years ago I was also recovering in a psychiatric hospital n am much better. Get well soon x
I've been in/around the music biz for 50+ years, from dive bars to stadiums/pro studios and all in between. I've made it a point of policy to never create "heroes" out of artists - they all put their pants on just like the rest of us. Gabriel is one of the rare exceptions to that policy, his ability to create poignant and moving soundscapes, filled with meaningful lyrics is unmatched, and has been for decades. Looking forward to the release!
Che voce
I believe it still applies to Peter or whomever but he is a talented musician and composer
I saw him two nights ago. Fucking phenomenal. His new album is brill and his voice is pristine. Tears in my eyes during half the concert. It was that good. See him while you still can! He gets better and better.
This man comes from another planet.
I tend to agree 👍

Well said!
Да, привет с Владивостока
This song was written about my brothers murder in my mind every lyric fits the scenario.Even the “ feel the vibrations coming from the ground” I believe this murderous thug has more buried in his back yard.
Incredible. I can't wait for the full album!
Dear Peter, after 50 years of masterpieces with your old pals and with your solo works, still moving all kinds of human emotions! Thanks you forever from Italy, Marco
Caro Peter, per la raffinatezza dell'orchestrazione, della scelta dei timbri,del sound, della melodia e della polifonia, la tua musica diventa poesia che vola al di sopra della dimensione terrestre. Il salto in falsetto è delicato come una carezza. Il tuo sguardo è proiettato veramente molto lontano. Non finirò mai di ringraziarti di questa canzone che, insieme a "Love can heal" eleva l'anima verso l'amore universale.
Bello il tuo commento....molto profondo e sensibile. Brava Elisabetta.
How does Gabriel do it? All the tracks released so far from the new album are totally different, yet unmistakably PG. And Four Kinds of Horses is genuinely as good as anything he has ever recorded. Only great music can speak straight to your heart and soul and this song does exactly that.
the kind of song you will discover a new thing every time you listen to it
Best song yet from the album, and that is saying something. Every new song is spectacular, but this one is absolutely next level July 16, 1983 concert was life-altering, and I have been cheering him ever since. 40 years and counting!
Song just gets better and better with every listen
@@CTProfessor61 Totally agree, the more times I listen the more I want to keep listening.
This is definitely my favorite from the album.
❤
Agreed
Peter Gabriel, Tony Levin, David Rhodes, Manu Katche, Brian Eno, John Metcalfe, etc. etc.. Che volete di più?
No doubt one of the best songs on the new album. Got to see him live in Bergen for the first time and it was a fantastic experience. Thank you for making these brilliant songs.
It's Peter's daughter that's doing backing vocals on it, making it even more of a family affair.
Here they are again at last. These fantastic soundscapes that only Peter Gabriel can create. Your voice sounds like 40 years ago, Peter. Probably because you are such a kind person, God has blessed you so much. I am really looking forward to the new album.
So the people that God is burning and bombing at the moment are probably not kind people ? .
Peter has special gifts and a special mission for humanity. I thank God for that and Peter too for his generosity. I understand your words very well!! Thank you.
This song is an incredible masterpiece. The beat is so subtle, the chorus, the sound arrangement, the lyrics..... It shows again, what an extraordinary artist Peter Gabriel is. This song is a one kind of like "Shine on you crazy diamond" from Pink Floyd. Through and through extraordinary.
It all seemed so simple

Thank you very much. It's fantastic that always a generous person put the lirics for everybody who doesn't know enough english.
Susie you are wonderful ~ thank you for sharing the words 🧞♂️🧚🏻♀️💜🙏🏻
Thank you, Susie for making the effort!
The written lyrics are very helpful to me.
❤❤❤❤❤
Cryptic
Non una nota banale
Good Lord….how does this man still bring tears to my eyes? Powerful and moving as usual Saint Peter. Thank you for your brilliance…it has accompanied me throughout my entire life.
This!
Welcome to the new world
Gets you, right in the soul. Powerful stuff.
Thank you very much Peter Gabriel, what a great song to start the day, I can't get enough of it
Heartwarming to know there are artists still making quality music that touches the soul.
It is truly remarkable that an artist of Peter's age combined with his immense back catalogue could still have not only the desire but the abilities to produce a brand new and incredible album.
I/O might be his best album, everything is so well done, almost perfect. As expected, sound is out of this world, three mixes are just incredible. If you didn't hear InSide mix have a listen, this might be new format.
Left a little speechless with this one. After "Playing for Time" I thought it couldn't get any better, that song brought me to tears. But this.....what an amazing soundscape, the little percussion details in the background, the chord progression at the end, the strings.....frig, what a song. I've been a PG fan for years, and am glad to have more greats to add to my collection. I'll be listening to his music forever.
My mother has liposarcoma. She will begin immunotherapy in two days. She has blood clots in both sides of her lungs. We have been seeking answers since April 2023. Peter, your music has been a comfort to me these past few months. I introduced my daughter to you when she was just a babe. She is now in her first year of university and considering Biology as a major…..Thank you for continuing to create!
His voice is so Freaking Good..
Thats the Peter Gabriel I remember. Soundscapes, surprises, a little grandeur, good lyrics, and great great production, and how about the sound of those vocals. 🎉
Thank you, Peter. We love you and your music. Always a pleasure.
Very beautiful, the chosen sounds, voices and beat build a great unity. Very well done ❤
Incredible! What a magical song! This new album is gonna be out of this world!
U Srbiji maloj zemlji na balkanu srca krvare...Piterova muzika je svet, vazduh, nada...nemogu sada slušati, dan je žalosti i boli, baš boli...a treba mi, baš, baš
Very few geniuses in music - this song proves Peter’s in a class by himself. Amazing. I can’t wait to put the headphones on and escape to his world when the full album comes out.
I just ....simply.... love this !.......beautiful ! magical ! hauntingly atmospheric ! Peters voice just gets better with age. wow ! .
Sandra M. 💖💖💖
For me the best song till now. I love it!❤
Peter Gabriel is still as brilliant as he had been during the time as worlds first 'masked singer'. His music and lyrics are epic and I hope that he gives us more and more of it during his lifetime. Thank you, it's an honour to get your presents every full moon
Pezzo meno orecchiabile dei precedenti 4 ma di spessore tecnico vocale strumentale: superbo fantastico un brano che non stancherà mai ad ascoltarlo
The only thing I was able to do after listening to the piece, was to replay ❤
I write songs for fun, and even though I’ve written things I’m proud of, I still can’t fathom how Peter’s mind must work when he creates music. This could have come from an alien. It’s on a whole other level.
Great comment John, I agree with you 100%.
Emotion
Fantastic! This Album just gets better and better.😁👊🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵❤❤❤❤🤘
Thank you Peter, for this song and all the others. You sound as clear and vital as ever. You are an inspiration and a comfort in this mad world.
Such a beautiful song, the more you listen to it the more you want to keep listening to it again and again.
More and More.Again and Again...
We are fortunate to listen to new music from Peter.
I love him so, so much. I have a rare illness that effects the brain, this album means a lot. Yeah..I wouldn't want to come to Phila. either..sad. I am really upset I won't get to see him but very grateful for new music. ❤💯
Peter Gabriel is my favorite musician for decades. His music means a lot for me. This song is amazing
Peter Gabriel's new release, 'Four Kinds of Horses', is a beautifully produced song which resonates with emotion. To still be making music of this quality after 55 years since forming Genesis is truly remarkable.
Stratosferica!!! Che dire di più 👏👏👏
niente di piu'
La mejor pieza de este súper álbum ✨✨✨🙌
Qué belleza. Cada una mejor que la anterior.
Bisogna inventare dei nuovi aggettivi per poter descrivere questo incredibile disco👏👏👏🇮🇪
If he doesn't play this live on the tour I will demand a refund. 😍
I'm pretty sure this is played every night just like Sledgehammer
He is playing it live - and it's truly great
Again Peter you give us a masterpiece, you're the more complete singer and muscisian. Thank you for all you give us during your career. This concept album is amazing
Yesterday we were at the concert of Peter Gabriel in Antwerp, Belgium.
It was a concert where he mixed new songs in between his classics.
This was one of the songs he played.
Never heard it before. But I liked it a lot.
Musically so varied that you look forward to what will follow every second.
There are four kinds of horses.
The first horse gallops merely at the sight of a whip.
The second horse gallops when the whip touches its hair.
The third horse gallops when the whip touches its skin.
The fourth horse only begins to gallop when the whip touches its bones.
-The Buddha
❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋. His voice though. This song is another reason why he is on a different level. Beautiful ❤️
This album's Mercy Street. Complete atmospheric immersion, tapping into places in the soul we did not yet know existed. Transformative.
Such a brilliant description of this song. You feel it in places you didn’t even know you had anymore. The haze parts and there it is. And you stand in awe. That is me. That is all of us. That is what Peter Gabriel does. It is miraculous.
Shades of 'We do what we're told' near the end too. Such a good song...on what is shaping up to be a superb album.
Well said, I've heard this song 50 times at least and it is Mercy Street compatible.
I totally agree.
I can feel the live version of this incredible song... blows me away.
Absolutely awesome
As expected: superb in any respect. See you in Frankfurt. Can't wait.
Un génie quel frisson pour nos cages à miel
Can´t believe he´s still bringing us this kind of music that is beyond every sh/tty nowaday´s standar. Hope you come back to Argentina anytime soon Peter, you´re a legend.
Peter Gabriel un genio para la música. ♪♪♪♪
Unbelievable! Thank you! What a perfection of a song. ❤❤❤
Peters voice has improved like good Red wine that gets better with age and that is a very rare thing.
Wow. This song is so beautiful that my eyes began to tear up while listening to for the first time. Thank you.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! His voice improves with each passing year. ❤️❤️👏👏💥
It's remarkable he still has the voice as it sounded frail when he began in the 60s - that's what Jonathan King noticed most when he get them a deal at EMI.
I think it sounds better than it has in YEARS. Amazing.
What a blessing... already, this song has become one of my all-time favorites.
