@cas66ragtop Damn, but your post made me cry. Lost my pet 2 months ago, and I totally know where your coming from.The four legged one really can hit us where we live, huh?
You're right, this album is very healing. Forgotten how much.
@kellyalvesBWA I am a man and my cat died 20 years ago and i was numb for 3 months- still hard to remember, my best friend for years- such personality.It took a year to gain his trust..not any cat, absolute friend.
This song was always one of my favourites since I was a little baby. It's only once I got older that I could understand the lyrics and love the song even more... Thank you PG for such an amazing song and album.
Wow, I haven't heard this song in ages, but I was recalling yesterday how it was my favorite song on this record, amid so many wonderful songs, when I got it at the start of 10th grade. I realized I still have it on tape, but have no device to play it on! So it was good to come here and find a really nice quality version to listen to--Thanks!
Dude, Sledgehammer "one of the worst pop songs ever" is a very different statement than the truth, which is that apparently it bugs you for some reason. What's bad about it? Structure? Don't think so, seems to hold up. Lyrics? Nope - kick ass. Melody? Theme? Top notch all the way. Poppy as hell, for sure - why don't you slam Big Time as well? (My first draw to the album was Red Rain, which may be the weakest structure-wise . . . )
@najtitu i almost agree. but sledgehammer is arguably one of the worst pop songs ever...wich is odd seeing as how it comes from a nearly flawless album.
@comedian618 i used to play it over and over and over untill i could hold the note, i was in like 6th grade or somthin.... but it was so meaningfull and sexy, jus sayin....but yep, i think the same when i hear this song....
Very Cool song... I love it. My brother used to have this CD and I would listen to it when I was a little kid; it brings back good memories of my childhood.
OUTSTANDING....I LOVE PETER GABRIEL'S VOICE <3

@MrSookonn Sorry about that. Losing a loyal pet is just as hard as losing a human family member

This song mysteriously appeared on my iPod the other day, I have fallen in love with it. Peter Gabriel is the man, he never lets me down. :)
