In what key is this cover?

Great breakdown. It's the crack, the near breaking of the voice, the air through the larynx. it really is unique to PG. Unmistakable. Inimitible

Kind of a low blow showing him struggling with Family Snapshot on a night he admitted his voice wasn’t well and he still gave the audience a hell of a show. If you had continued to follow him after that night, he was fine vocally. And his 2016 tour with Sting he sang Sting off the stage, and at 73 years old, he rarely missed a note on the i/o tour this past year.

Splendid, I'm glad I discovered your channel. Also love your solo stuff.

Such a wonderful take on my favorite Genesis song! Thank you James!

Beautiful.

I love the way you’ve integrated the movie footage into your music video. Carnforth has never looked so lovely!

Wow. That’s amazing! Great to hear your take on this wonderful old classic.

Good catchy song. Love it ❤️❤️

Awesome!!!!👏🏾

Awesome, Jenny has cool friends

I am here only for sexy draper

Excellent video. I think another important factor in peters singing is his use of dynamics. He ornaments with a lot of vocal swells in his higher range and very little vibrato

Grandiose interpretation. Why so few thumbs? Keep up the good work!

Great ❤

Beautifully done.

I think his voice on the recent tours is even stronger, and less strained. Listen to the live versions of "Playing for Time" (his "gibberish" song from this video). Most singers would have difficulty holding the note on "That Voice Again" from So.

Those Winston cigarettes might have something to do with it as well. ;)

Wonderful cover i really liked it ! Do you have the guitar chords ? I want to play it too 😁

@JamesHarkerMusic thanks so much for this insight on the way of singing of my unique and favorite singer, musician and whatever, over the last 52 years of my😢 life... I do definitely agree with you. Franky, I've never have been seriously trying to deepen these changes /evolutions in Peter's voice, attributimg them to the natural passage of time. But if I go back to the previous years, it's more than evident the big work that Peter had done over the time. I'd like to show here just some very important (to me) examples about it. The first version of 1) Signal to Noise, when his voice was not still so stable, then the second version 2) years later at around 5'', the best incredible performance in Athens 3) of Mercy Street (~6'30", in the meanwhile he also improved a lot his ability to mesmerize everybody, me too...) and 2 extracts from Passion, till now is his masterpiece in my opinion 4) A different drum 1'35", and 5) Passion 🎶💙💙💙, where i can feel so deep him inside me, from 4'35", for his music...when xx decades ago he recorded the beats of the heart. His voice is really something of not human...apart Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the emperor of qawali and his music far beyond the Earth. Well, love Peter 'so much'. How many concerts, how many Lay your hands to me. Forever Peter 🎶💙 1) czcams.com/video/B5KcEy3y23w/video.htmlsi=9ICAs0Vsl81gAeXr 2) czcams.com/video/xJoSNZxLdbU/video.htmlsi=BG04aqPriv16g9ic 3) czcams.com/video/flrfDLrDELo/video.htmlsi=aC-yi148KqdnyKHm 4) czcams.com/video/dcDAzmIRNGM/video.htmlsi=MUcF6ZzwcwGkOVWh 5) czcams.com/video/czagvxCpcHY/video.htmlsi=XxOfOQ9_d1yDucvo Thank you ❣️

I love the comment about the "Needy" aspect of his voice. You can really hear that at the beginning of the 1983 Plays Live album. The first thing out of his mouth on the first song, after 2 minutes of unnerving drums (like a monster is coming), is like a cry for help. Then the whole second song is about a person so in need of touch, that he even looks for human contact in handshakes.

Peter Gabriel is one of my favourite artists. A few years ago I went on a Pilgrimage to 'climb up Solsbury Hill" while I played his song. I spoke with a woman at the road beneath Solsbury Hill to make sure I was in the right place. I was. She said he had built a recording studio for Genesis about a mile away and a home for his daughter. She thanked me for helping honouring Peter. It was wonderful. I videotaped my climb up Solsbury Hill.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤

I feel a deep sense of melancholy when listening to this song, yet the melody seems hopeful.

This song gave me goosebumps! What a fantastic melody. How come the video doesn’t appear in the main video feed? I found it by looking through the playlists.

thanks for this wonderful breakdown of his sound. -- SUCH an expressive voice. Even when Peter is singing very loudly, that PUSHED vocal style adds earnestness and intimacy to the song. It's like he's whispering at the top of his lungs - pleading. We can't help but being drawn in.

Really excellent and special...your voice is sooo(!) wonderful and "this song "needs" such a voice like yours...nice greetings from Austria to you and to all the people who are able to feel such songs in such great interpretations in their souls...!!!

I missed hearing about his “yodeling”. He doesn’t use it much anymore, but I think that’s also a distinctive aspect of his singing style.

Does the original justice which is never easy on an Eric Clapton song, great guitar player and singing, creates such a dreamy feel. This should be used in a movie.

For the push effect, I find it can feel air coming out my nose as well. Is he doing that at all or being careful he doesn’t?

Really good cover. Nice 👍

This is great James. I always thought you'd suit a rockier vibe, It was always part of the master plan, M. Pow.

Amazing cover! Such a great song!

I think its about people who spend their time in clubs and that

This is amazing ❤

Loved the song! So glad Jenny sent me here to listen! Hope it helps her feel better... as for the meaning i think im wrong after reading other guesses but my first thought was that it was about staying being high and that Judy and Hue was some kind of drug reference... I'm definitely wrong and embarrassed at my guess.

Jenny sent me

Jenny sent me three months ago and i keep coming back. I woke up this morning with the song going through my head. I shared it with the first person I saw, they loved it. Great song you two❤

He's also used a chorus/ADT effect on his voice for some time. I think he uses it less now than he did but it's there on a lot of his tracks which gives it a richer tone. I've always thought of it as a bit of a cheat. I do love his voice though.

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard

Easy, you are Peter Gabriel

Beautiful work, and I didn't even watch the video. I just closed my eyes and soaked in the music. What a lovely way to end my night. Thank you. :)

awesome

Greg Lake

I love it!!!

J. Draper sent me this me this way... I have no idea what this song is about 🤷‍♂ its nice though 👍

Is it just me or did J Draper call him a F@#KING C@NT at the beginning while she was leaning out the window? Hahaha 🤣😂🤣😂

This is a fairly general summation/guess : seems to be about a person having an existential crisis after losing (read: "being dumped by") who was most important in their life.
