So it's not exactly classical music but it's not exactly pop music either.....Much of Peter Gabriel's music touches my soul while simultaneously cutting deeply into it. In a slight deferment from traditional classical music, please allow me to relish in this eerily beautiful song.
If either of you who follow this blog, all two of you ;), have ever listened to the music of PG beyond that of "Sledgehammer," "Solsbury Hill" and "In Your Eyes"you already know that he is extremely gifted at getting at matters of the heart, as if he literally breaks through your rib cage, digs deep into your chest and grabs hold of your heart, squeezing tightly. He makes you listen, he forces you to feel. It's not gentle, it's invasive and primal, but once you do listen and truly do hear, you leave the music feeling known.
It's a miracle that we are not alone. I have to remind myself of that each and every day as it is so easy to believe that I will forever be lonely and alone. Please hear the words of this piece and say you will do what you can do.
-Though you may disappear you're not forgotten here and I will say to you, "I will do what I can do." You may disappear, you're not forgotten here and I will say to you, "I will do what I can do."
