There is that whole Nine Inch Nails type thing in this and a handful of tracks that he ever released, perfect as I'm a fan of both, and true that he can turn dark into great just like that.
Kind of reminded me of Nine Inch Nails only more artistic. I like how he goes from chaos to peace. That's what's it's like climbing out of the deepest pit of darkness, where you have no friends or family, even your own name seems strange, an illusion. And as you force your way to the light the darkness softly calls, " Why has thou forsaken me?". I think the poet D.H Lawerence describes this process beautifully in his poem, "The Ship Of Death".
One of my favorite PG songs. The depths that he is willing go to is what makes him so great. Not many artists are willing to go that deep. This one causes a swell of emotion inside.
@chirpieguy No one is above critique, I just thought it was silly that you presumed to dictate how I should construct a Youtube comment. Especially considering how concise some of the pro-Gabriel comments are. I mean, is mine really saying less than "Beautiful song. :-)"? I would argue that it's saying more.
This first time I heard this song, I thought it was a throwback to his third album. But no, it's something so much better. "Up" is now my favorite Peter Gabriel album, and I can't wait to hear even more material by him.
when I allow it to be - there´s no control over me...
Wenn ich meine Ängste zulasse, stehen sie Angesicht in Angesicht zu mir. Dann sehe ich sie. Dann habe ich keine Angst mehr. Ich brauche sie nicht mehr kontrollieren, weil es nichts mehr zu kontrollieren gibt. Ich lasse los. Ich lasse meine Ängste einfach Ängste sein. Ich lasse sie los.
shortly after i posted my last comment, i became unemployed for 6 months...it was a very dark time for me, and i had much time to reflect and evaluate. Today, i'm very much back in the saddle......but, this video helped sustain me through my darkest days. My thanks to you achtungbaby4321.
RelliKtm - I have to agree.. We decided (me and my father) to go to Berlin last week to O2arena... Before the concert we were quite upset about the price and travelling costs bu it was worth it....
This song sends shivers up my spine! My dad used to play Gabriel era Genesis albums when I was a baby. I think Ive been listening to Peter Gabriel since I was in the womb. He still sounds great and always doing something new.
killer song, with some of his best lyrics, like in PG 3. a prove of how Peter Gabriel is a musician without limits, always with something to surprise you, like some of his contemporaries, David Bowie or John Cale.
I saw this tour live at Wembley Arena, was simply amazing, if you have any chance of seeing him, no matter how much it is, pay it, it's totally worth it! :-D
@Cimbarius I'm not detracting from this song in anyway, but if you think that's true I don't think you've heard anything by Anathema, check out the album 'a natural disaster'.
He's already proved enough over the years, besides, this show is long and complicated, you can't expect him to behave like he did 30 years ago, C'mon. It's amazing he can still ut together a song with the same kind of power and style of 1978.
@swing2727: I guess he's holding back because it's being filmed. He may be letting the pressure of getting everything right get to him? I don't know where abouts in the setlist this was, but he may have been conserving his energy to last the 2 and 1/4 hour show...
Death is coming up, .... . This is good theatre and song but not yet convincing. PG is not giving 100%. This is still too convenient. It is good, but he could do better. Come on, you can do much better even ... .
absolute agree with you if he could wrote things like SUPPER'S READY or all of THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY why don't again he can do it he's a GENIUS A MASTER OF THE PROGRESSIVE ROCK
actually yes i know that he wrote the lyrics and in the SUPPER'S READY he wrote all the song who was based on a extra normal expirence that he was with jill obviulsly i know that the work of the band was amazing with the music but hackkett was so mainspraceful
It may be that they're running her voice through some effects. It could also be that she's just yelling on top of the synth sound. She is awful pretty...she's Peter's daughter.
I've followed Peter Gabriel for virtually his entire career. With "Up" he showcases evolving musical sensibilities and expanded themes without losing the verve that originally set him apart from his contemporaries in the late 60s and early 70s. Though greeted lukewarmly by critics when it debuted "Up" may be arguably his best work.
Why?? It doesn't subtract from the performance, plus, there are only weird synthesizers and small overdubs being played by the computer. I don't get that prejudice people like you have...
Peter opened with this song on his More growing up tour, I went to it and I was young and it scared me. Then a spotlight went on me and he looked up and me! It was a good way to start the concert! Then I got an autographed copy of PLAY: The Videos!
Thanks Peter for opening my eyes to an entirely different type of music.
Please don't take this the wrong way, I loved old Genesis, saw them a dozen times including two Lamb shows in a row...but i do not want them to reunite ever...
I like Gabriel so much better now it blows me away...
I almost forgot to mention thta i really like the bald look for the band. It just adds something i can't put my finger on. maybe it's because i have the exact same haircut.......LOL
I think it looks really cool, even if Peter is a little heavy...
When I saw Gabriel do this live his daughter Melanie was all dressed in black and rocking back & forth on the stage it was very surreal almost eerie and powerful at the same time!
