completely different, isn't it? awesome that we shared that experience. you what else is weird? that those days of watching videos in the AM are so long gone for me ... I just watch 'em here on youtube :/
I love Peter Gabriel. Always thought provoking stories in the songs. Intelligent themes and not the usual horizontal mambo of pop tunes. We need more Peter Gabriels
This is such a great song and video! Afro Celt and Peter Gabriel magic!! Love it. . .such a "feel good" song. . .makes one want to get up and dance! : ) Beautiful!! Thanks for posting!
Damn this is that old! This is Peter Gabriels music studio so I am not surprised he would appear on their best work! Loved that album just shocked on how far time passed me by.
I was in 8th grade when this song came out, and i would watch VH1 everyday before school. 9/11 happened probably a month after this video was released and it and Staind's "Fade" got pulled for their imagery of falling and crumbling buildings, respectively. I think this video shows the innocence and maybe even oblivion we had before 9/11.
yeah chockys, peter and the afrocelts have done a lot of work together and share the same record label, which peter set up, but deffo ten out of ten to you for noticing my friend! a great collaboration this is! i discovered them in late 90's on a random walk along the jazz stage at glastonbury, and have kept up to date with them ever since! please play in north east england xxx love, ecopunk!
@TheSkirmishes It's about two close friends. One is trying to help the other through a difficult period, but no matter how hard the one tries, he remains helpless to turn things around. Think Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls.
Haven't heard this legend. How does it go? I know Viking legend refers to it (the eastern European "Varangian trail" led down the Volga to Turkey and Egypt, and an Arab ambassador [Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan, I believe] went back up the same trail). But then again, everyone spent some time in Egypt. It was the cradle of life.
This is one of my very favorite music videos of all time! Too bad it was released right near September 11, as the images were a little too disturbing at the time.
The video of this guy freefalling reminds me of the opening scene in Salman Rushdie's book, Satanic Verses, when Gabreel Farishta and Saladin Chamcha are soaring down through the clouds. If any one knows what i am talking about ....
I just saw the movie DUMA, and at the end of the moview during the rolling of the credits, a Peter Gabriel song played. It is not on the DUMA soundtrack, but I believe this is the song. Can anyone confirm?
If you were this guy, how would you even start to explain....lol You guys are not gonna believe what happened to me yesterday or, hey, i fell on my way to work this morning, or you know i was almost in an aircraft accident yesterday, or, did you guys see that hole in the sidewalk on 23rd street? Its best if you take this story with you to the grave.
Peter Gabriel is one of the most brilliant musical minds of our generation. This is just more proof.
Love Peter Gabriel, love this song. One of their best out of many great tunes.
You are so bang on. I got up and danced. I turned into some tribal-choir-80's-kid and lost myself in the music. It is that good.
The music, backing vocals, and PETER'S VOICE-absolutely beautiful!
Just love this song so much...for so many years. It always lifts me up. Never tire of it, it never gets old...
Own this CD..Love it!!!
This dude is clearly Kryptonian! Beautiful song and wonderful video.

First saw this when we lived in India back in 2001. Been looking for a long time and finally tracked the video. Excellent!

Thank you, have been looking for this song for a long time. One of my faves.
Wow. This is such a great video. Beautiful, provocative, nostalgic, inspirational.
The Perfect Skydiving Song!! :D
I had this song stuck in my head right before I went skydiving...
Peter Gabriel's voice is so unique. I guessed it was him the very first time I heard this song. Loved it.
Love can heal,...Love can heal,...
How can he just.. fall all the way THROUGH a planet like a bullet? How imaginative!
Awesome tune!
I like this music
I LOVE THIS SONG ITS AT THE END OF THE MOVIE DUMA!!! :D
afro celt sound system + peter gabriel = ^.^
Woohoo! Pete on Afro Celt. :))))
This song was perfection in Imax Adrenaline Rush!
This came up on my Pandora and I had no idea what it was but I KNEW it was Peter Gabriel!
the first time i listened this song was with the amazing imax movie adrenaline rush... this is great!
Peter Gabriel? I thought so. Love it
I dislike those who dislike this.
Great Video and Song , thank you for posting it . :)
Peter is the guy who's in the plane, and standing on the sidewalk when the guy falls through. He has either shaved or buzzed hair.
Yes!! he's just singing on it...
Peter!!!
Jusr Awesome!!!!
Yes it is :)
"This is your Captain speaking...."
wow awesome! 5!
i love how peter gabriel looks like peter gabriel
when he's pretending to be some bystander who's
a tad more observant than everyone else
good and video

good video. goodbye earth huh
this video was to be released in the same week as 9/11 twin towers. This song was held back from its release as a result. crazy..
Yeah MTV pulled it off the air immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks. Quite a shame really because its such a good song.
Haven't heard this legend. How does it go?

love
This is one of the used songs in Starbucks Coffee Cafes
Great now i won't go for skydiving with my uncle anymore
Now you're thinking with portals.

Love ACS! The vocals were great, too!
What the deus was the giant blue "core" made out of? It lookled like a bunch of people...
beatiful weird song made a few weeks before 911
It must be an intuitive song then
there is a subliminal message at 0:57-0:59 there is something written in the sky under the plane
Great song, fun video, but if you go straight through the earth entering at Boston, you come out in the Indian Ocean. Just saying :-)
If you were this guy, how would you even start to explain....lol
You guys are not gonna believe what happened to me yesterday or, hey, i fell on my way to work this morning, or you know i was almost in an aircraft accident yesterday, or, did you guys see that hole in the sidewalk on 23rd street? Its best if you take this story with you to the grave.
I love this song... the video has such potential to be equally amazing, but something is just not right, making it cheesy. So frustrating!
Is that Peter that they show as the falling guy is breaking through the sidewalk?
It's an awesome song! I just feel bad for the guy that's falling
Is that Peter Gabriel as the Pilot in the plane?
somebody get him a parachute!
The Beach?
I hate why it has to fly
