  • THE LAMB!!!! THE LAMB!!!!

  • As noted, the audio quality doesn't do justice to the brilliant vocals of Peter Gabriel. This song closed out the soundtrack for "Shall We Dance". The music continued well after the vocals were done. It was so good it gave me the chills.

  • shame for the poor audio quality

  • this is beautiful, but it is not the true spirit of the song

  • Usually, I say 'lovely'. But this is absolutely GORGEOUS! The best romantic song, EVER!

  • may we agree that PG did a lovely version, and enjoy?

  • esta cancion me facina a parte la voz de peter gabriel es  fantastica me emociana

  • Don't get your shorts in a bunch, Sally...

  • love this song..

    

  • Gabriel is just a pure mad genious....

  • @dholmes974 THis song was written by a pure made genius (you spelled "genius" wrong) Stephin Merritt. Peter Gabriel didn't write this song, and it was never meant to be performed like this, this big Hollywood style extravaganza type thing. It's a simple love song written by the most talented man in the world. Stephin Merritt.

  • @senatorgreenday With all acknowledgement of Stephin Merritt's creative genius, Peter Gabriel elevates this song. As an artist with 3 decades of history behind him, to even select this song is a tribute to Merritt's artistry. But Gabriel is without question the superior vocalist and this arrangement has far greater emotional impact than the original.

    Stephin Merritt is to be commended for creating such a brilliant poem. Peter Gabriel is an enormous compliment of a successor.

  • @caveatemptor27: Well said. While I respect both artists and enjoy both versions for completely different reasons, it has to be said that PG's rendition is immeasurably better than the original.

  • wonderfull PG sings this so beautifully and his daughter melanie is the backing singer

  • I LOVE THE BACKUP SINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • simplemente hermoso......Book Of Love es un canto al amor......

  • Peter's english pop's monk with an orchestral backing!

    To many butter tarts in his diet?
