Peter Gabriel - Lovetown

[moriconi24]

The artist Peter Gabriel collaborated with for this video is Yayoi Kusama, provocative japanese painter

[icfiFIRST]

I love the synthesizer in this song

[RaymondMorinV2]

I like the reference with the belgium surrealist artist, René Magritte.

[TravelerKM]

He's so damn hot.

[partyongarth420]

[davechicolombia]

@partyongarth420 nope, just yours

[yahyahydrogen3]

[BadResistors]

This song, just like 'Diggin the Dirt' has a deeper meaning. This one is about our sexual urge to find 'love' and start a family, which is basically ingrained (programmed) code in our DNA which can lead us to a trap of family life, mundane living, where time and soul are swallowed by routine and daily grind, and there's no actual Love, just feeding.

'Lovetown' is a place we think we want to be in, but in fact it is also a trap. 'Have you got what you want?' - he asks. 'Take a good look around.'

[JohnLennon100]

@BadResistors Very good observation ...people just go with the flow, they go to school, get married, get a job, have kids ...and so on.I've though A LOT about that, and we either develop a greater consciouness and liberate from all attachments or we better follow the mainstream guidelines. Without enlightment is absurd that we don't find a partner, or enjoy the sublime pleasure of sharing our lives with our own kids that at the same time will help us get through when we grow old.

[JohnLennon100]

@BadResistors Also, I think the big trap is in ourselves and in our own minds. The surroundings are just the inevitable landscape we are restricted as flesh and bones beings. THe real liberation comes from deep within. Family, wives, sons, daughters, family, friends, nations, neighbouhoods, streets, trees, houses, etc. are just external circumstances that we could approach in different ways. Our saviour is not in the landscape, is inside all of us. We just have to dig deeper and deeper.

It´s one of his very best songs, no matter, how successful it was! This very special, controled sound and this unbelievable way of instrumentatation... Great artist, always stay my favorite, for shure!

[KlaRa474]

One of his very best songs which didn´t make it to the top.... but it´s fantastic!!

[Hexagesta]

Beautiful cover of this great artist

When i was a child i saw it on the tv and it made me strange and curious, and now as a man i discovered the message of this great song

Thanks por posting man! (sorry if i my english is not fluently)

[PCB94]

This Video reminds me of the Eve Game by him. :o

[gurney71]

trailer parks in england?

[mayerielween]

j'adore sa voix si particulière

[msenin]

Anyone has a guitar tab or chords?

[msenin]

@msenin I actually figured out how to play it. Come check out the cover of this song on my profile. Appreciate comments and ratings!

[thewallfloyddude]

L S D????

[dottted]

One of my favorite songs by Mr.Gabriel, especially the Baseline is awesome!

[edgarrep]

What's really important here, is the bass line, played with that strange and fantastic Ashbory bass, wich is very tiny and small, but providing huge and great bass sound, as you can all hear it. That's why this song sounds so particular, in my point of view.

[msenin]

The song- solid gold. The video - not so good. I wonder if the animation was done by the same guy who did Big Time and Steam videos.

[chinatree1]

An underrated song by the master-a great feel to it. And love the video!

[rickrock11]

If you want to see one of the best-ever concert DVDs, check out Peter Gabriel's "Growing Up - Live".

[rickrock11]

Excellent song. One of the few songs released on a major labor featuring an Ashbory bass.

[becomepostal]

How strange that such a superb music video and song did not become more famous. I don't understand.

[rickrock11]

I agree. Peter Gabriel has always been an under-appreciated artist.

[FirstTimeCaller1]

It starts to go down @ 1:39

[macaronimary]

think this song is about searching for love and finding malice, the polka dots remind me of karposi's sarcoma. Very chilling and sad.

[lindice2001]

perfect song. when the horns come in, u could die in heaven.....pulls it to perfection.

[joe10864336]

<Me encanta este tema genial !!!!!!

[jtm101583]

"Philedelphia" was a good movie; Tom Hanks at his best! After all he did win the Oscar for it!

[MeAndCass]

RHCP could totally make this into a jam.

[davechicolombia]

Cool approach!

[zoomustard]

This is the only "pop" song I've ever heard that Miles Davis could have covered without changing a thing. The vocal is on par with a jazz solo and the groove is nothin' but coool. If Miles had been alive when this was released, I'm sure he would have been impressed and probably payed it. That's a great compliment to PG

[joe10864336]

Esta cancion es una de mis favoritas excelente Peter Gabriel!!

[hollybeee00]

this is an extremely creepy video, AWESOME SONG THOUGH!

[ajfanchristine]

One of my favorite Peter Gabriel songs!!!

[ajfanchristine]

No actually I'm correcting myself. This IS my ALL TIME FAVORITE Peter song! He's a freaking genius!!!

[RynoScott]

A~men, Sista!

All hail St. Peter! 8D

[nintendo64isking]

what is this song about exactly?

[metubetoo95]

The Sax. on 3:53 sounds so great, I wished to be able to play it like that.

Grats to the musicans!

[metubetoo95]

I have seen him live,

a legend and an idol for me....

[studioreganowka]

i love this song , is best of Peter Gabriel

[purplegurl75]

I want to live in lovetown!

[gurney71]

Do they have trailer parks in the United Kingdom?

[zimonandras]

elképesztően hangulatos zene..Peter a legnagyobb!!!

[ruggferenc]

Így van,egyetértek :):)

[yssefar]

Like the Randy Crawford version better.

But - OK - Gabriel is a good songwriter.

[aveccoeur]

Greats 90's. A very good song

[abileche]

Yes bizarre,van gogh?!

[zavinullava]

Actually I did know about the video but never saw it until now - thank you so much, mickmarks, for uploading.

[mickmarks]

you're very welcome, glad to share

[FamilySnapshot]

i swear i didin't know this had a video. good, anyway. a little bizarre but i like this song. and it's from around the 1994, right?

[abileche]

streets of philadelphia!i can,t imagine that bruce spring...won a price and not pete.INJUSTE-

[nicck]

Peter's actually a big fan of Springsteen, and was heavily influenced by one of his live performances.

I do think Brucie deserved it though, that song really hits a nerve

[dalisman]

WHOA, didn't know there WAS a damn video for this! AWESOME! Thanks for this!!!

[queen7x7]

Peter Gabriel pure genius. i gave a lot for 10% of your creativity. you must be a good channel to higher levels. love you, wise man
