    I Grieve is one of the most beautiful songs for people who are grieving as his voice as it builds makes the same sound our souls make during such a painful journey of missing the one you love. I listen to this song often after the loss of my husband almost 10 years ago! ♥️🕊️

      I LOVE that song. Peter Gabriel reminds me of Bono in the way that he has the ability to channel (in ernest) his emotions into the listener. Some may say it is really good acting. I say, rather, that is in innate ability to touch your soul.

    Massive massive fan of Peter and that era of genesis. ..was fortunate enough to see him do the lamb and he became my hero from then on..no better person than him to talk about life music and all the challenges that it throws up...Peter was streets ahead of everyone at his peak with genesis and then went on to even greater achievements and success...a truly remarkable musician and human being....

    This conversation is as soulful as Peter's music. He is so pure. His shyness is endearing to me. There is no bullshit about him at all. I love how he turned the interview around. A clever guy and he didit brilliantly!

    In the early 70s, PG introduced me to artistry, in the 80s he was my style guru, through it all a wise guide for living an honest life. And the outstanding music has worked into my consciousness and become the soundtrack of my inner life. It's impossible to over estimate the effect of this man on my life

      +Sonia Khatri I would consider Peter Gabriel pretty mainstream. But to me, that doesn't matter. He's still an excellent musician. Sometimes great people are mainstream. Sometimes they're not. It's irrelevant.

    • @linussundstrom5065
      @linussundstrom5065 Před 8 lety +2

      +Jaydoggy531 I'd say that he is known by pretty much every person that's activly looking for music from different times and people that lived in the 80's and became bombarded by Sledgehammer from MTV or the radio. But if you were born in the 90's and only listened to music on the radio you could be totally unaware of him. But yes, he is a great musician and that's what really matters.

    I was living at an ashram in India in 1986, building a recording studio. Hadn't heard any western music for 3 mths. We fired up the new studio. Someone came in with a new album from Peter & we put it on. 1st thing I heard was Red Rain and it blew me the F away! Thank you Peter!

    Thank you so much for this film. I've enjoyed Peter Gabriel's music since the 80s and it's wonderful to hear him speak about music in this way. His music does seem to truly resonate emotionally for people (including myself).
    I've enjoyed these discussions (such as the one with Nigella Lawson) because the subjects are thinking very deeply about their field and there is plenty of time given to get into the nitty gritty. Thanks again. I think I'll be rewatching this one.

    Peter: an astute, heart-fathomed insight into a topic which is, at very least, a mainframe institution of remunerative channels which allow associative dispersion(s) of anxiousness and passive undertones to be expressly renounced in the Spirit of Sound which, always divinely congruent with Presence, allows the process of Life to be appreciated responsively and Illumined in the Crystalline, Auric Light of The Supreme Creator.

      +Julian Walker ~ An elder of my former religion would accompany people singing in tongues in just that way; the same intuitive sense.
      This is evidence that when music moves us, and seems so spiritual, its very profundity is in fact primal.

    • @JAYDUBYAH29
      @JAYDUBYAH29 Před 8 lety +2

      differous01 i am fascinated with how music is a language of it's own that has to do with the way relationships between audible frequencies speak to our nervous systems/brains in ways that evoke emotions...
      so yes, it is primal, non verbal, intuitive -and yet it also correlates with a kind of physics and mathematics in a way that is so cool!
