FATHER SON

[vorpal72]

This song melts away all my machismo. I feel like a helpless little child.  Wow.....just wow.

[applegranny]

Peter sang this in concert in Saratoga and told the crowd his dad's now 99. We can only hope to still have Peter - and better yet Peter performing - at 99. His New Blood Orchestra tour is past amazing.... Love you to death Mr. Gabriel.

[MrFurtherwick]

Such a beautiful beautiful song. One of the most moving I've ever heard and one that surely touches every man who doesn't see his Dad as often as he would like.

[softconcrete1]

Love this man

[piccola0]

Peter Gabriel is ART himself, his work is beyond descriptions. Those who call themselves artists don't understand the meaning of the word much less will make or interpret art. As you say he is simply great ART I will add!

[brianstatom]

Happy Father's day to you Anna Marie. And your dad too.

[LeaptheCreekMusic]

Wonderful as always. Thank you for sharing these personal moments.

[LeaptheCreekMusic]

Wonderful as always. Thanks for sharing these personal moments.

[Rush2112RulesAll]

I lost my father earlier this year and I miss him every day. Beautiful song that expresses what I cannot. Thank you Peter, forever a fan.

[LaCosmiatradetuMami]

Grande, Maestro! thanks for all your music in my life.

[phildefer0]

Just wonderful!



[MorrisonEnterprise]

shaved head, hoodie... Gangsta Gabe!

[aryczkowsky]

So beautiful song :) I have to go to my father... He's still with me. Thanks Peter

[elainegwy]

lovely Peter!!! thank you! miss Dad so much, this is a great song that always remnds me of good times!

[HartmutRast]

Peter Gabriel and his songs are so close to our daily struggles that I can always find myself in the one or the other - especially now at Christmas time I miss my father and maybe me daughter Sophia miss me too.

Send her all my love - she'll always be in my heart wherever I go and whatever I do.

[curtdesilets]

My Dad passed away 10 years ago this week. I was only 35, my Dad was 60. This song has so much meaning, and it did the first time I heard it. For all you sons missing their Dads, listen, look at pictures and try to come to a sense of peace. It's important! Never forget your Dad, through good and bad memories, they usually all tried to be the best Pop that they could. I miss my Dad, a lot!

[piccola0]

@curtdesilets thank you for your words (2 years for me and very difficult...but i get one day at the time...)

[eganb]

gorgeous video. poignant, and spare in the best way possible. it needed nothing more or less than what it had.

from one to another, very nice direction. wish there were more of us out there that understood the principle of less is almost always more. good work.

[RynoScott]

I was 15 when my Pop passed on and had no clue how greatly it would affect me. I've been broken and lost ever since. I inherited alot of bad stuff from him but, alot of good as well, ... it's just taken so much struggle and pain to learn that I need to amplify the good, and leave the rest behind. I miss you, Dad & love you always! ~ Scott

[Tdaffi1]

This is gift for everyone missing fathers. Remember they are forever with you. Thank you Peter Gabriel.

[1funny990]

lost my dad past in june 2008 two weeks before i turn 40 this trake will all ways keen him close to me

[AUP68]

the greatest.

[blakethechao]

My dad's still around and will hopefully be for a long time to come, but he had to see his own father die in front of his own eyes, he told me himself.

I'll probably will too, but not now, not for a long time please.

[LeitelvrGowave]

This song is so beautiful it makes me cry everytime i see this it makes me think of my dad

[iknowyourightnow]

makes me cry,it´s so beautiful and sad...

[poopyloopy89]

hmm i just lost my dad 2 weeks ago and just seeing this video made me just cry guess it finally hit me that hes gone dog i miss him so much

[aayooOo0]

Though I'm a girl, I lost my father 6 years ago, when I was 7. This song makes me think of him everytime. I miss him each and everyday but I will forever cherish what we've had. So sorry for all you who have lost their fathers.. :( I miss you Daddy <3

[Tallyman58]

An excellent song, makes me think of my Dad every time

[Chreepo]

My Dad is 84 and in failing health...I will miss him when he's gone..."you're moving quite slow, how far can we go...."

[Chreepo]

My Dad slipped away yesterday, I will miss him...

[glanddmen]

yeah i heard this song for the first time today and cried

[Amon77]

I lost my Dad when i was 9 and everytime i play this song i feel how much i really miss him in my life.

I wish i could turn back time and just let him know how much i love him :-(

R.I.P

[nikkijscraig]

every time I play this song I really wish I had a greater relationship with my dad. I missed the chance to be something special in his life and hope that my son loves me as much as i really loved my dad but never got the chance to tell him

[skoda105gls]

I don't like this type of videos, but this is really nice. It has great feeling.

[flautotraverso0]

[leese7242]

Just so beautiful. Anna, please thank your father from the bottom of my heart.

[paulverhaagen]

I wish I could hold Peter for a moment.

Love,

Paul.

[monisara59]

One more time, Peter goes direct to my soul.

And I travelled to my childhood with my father

Thank you

Una vez más, Peter va directo a mi alma

Y viajé a mi infancia con mi papá.

Gracias

[optimusprime341]

Hello,

I want to let my son know how much I love him. Be a good man Zachary, and take care of mommy. Your 8 months old now, and still growing big and strong. If I dont come home when I go to war, this message is to let you know your my world. I love you Zachary.

Your daddy

Dave

[sickboy509]

I used to have to listen to this song about twice a day, for a year, I will admit I never really listened to the lyrics, until about 6 years ago I brought the CD and listened to it, really listened to the lyrics and I would have to admit it is a beautiful song, full of genuine emotion.

It is a massive shame that this is still relatively an unknown PG song it deserves to be much bigger as does the entire album.

[dennoow]

This must be one of the best songs ever written.. I'm always in tears listening to this, the melody, his deep voice, Tony Levin's bass and the most beautifull use of trumpets etc I've ever heard. It's all so beuatiful! I love this guy's music to death!

[nicck]

I'm glad your dad took the time off to be with your gramp, really glad.

[nymetsman321]

does anybody know where i can find this sheet music??? ive been looking for it forever but i can't seem to find it... any help would do thanks

[brenhollhunt]

Congrats Anna, on your new baby brother. Another son in the family!

[VisionofOrion]

Such a definitive artist. Destined to transcend the ages as a poetic icon. A true musician so often imitated but never duplicated as his soulful echos resonate pure genuis.

[Tears4Jesus]

Your father is my favorite musician for so many reasons other than just talent. The fact he can pull out such a deep and emotional masterpiece likes this proves he's a great man.

[EarlofCrawford]

Anna, thank you for posting this. I cannot imagine what sort of emotions it conjours within your family.

MANY GABRIEL'S in one video. You come from a very talented family.

[abdiriginal]

simply beautiful !!!!

[littyboo]

i absolutely love peter gabriel he is such a genuine person and i have the upmost respect for him i hope he does more concerts i would love to see him again thanks for this video anna x

[genesisrock43]

A real love song, not a whiney 'i miss my baby' piece of crap! a song that acually potrays a real emotion!

thanks

[phantasm616]

[tmbjmpatt]

man, what a wonderfully emotional song. I cried when I first heard it as the memories of me and my dad came rushing back from long ago.thank you mr. gabriel for such a beautifull song.

[sandraplanet]

wonderfull!!!!!!!!!

[davejuh]

Peter is so much better than most artists these days. No offence to them but this music contains everything, the others just pretend to contain something..

simply great

[vidgamer77]

This is because he is a veteran of the golden era of progressive music, and a musical genius! I completely agree...brilliant stuff, everything else pales in comparison today!

[chrislancesky]

@davejuh ....I fully agree. HIs work embodies the human condition. A true artist.

[piccola0]

@davejuh ....Peter Gabriel is ART himself, his work is beyond descriptions. Those who call themselves artists don't understand the meaning of the word much less will make or interpret art. As you say he is simply great ART I will add!

[zotzklof]

thank you for all this, mr peter gabriel

[rainbowconnection9]

I don't exactly understand the whole video, but it is the most gorgeous song that I have ever heard in my life! Peter Gabriel has an amazing voice.

[dvdtranslations]

Peter said in concert, that this song was written about him and his dad going to a Yogi and praticing meditation together. It's so cool to see the video showing the process.

[alwaysinthesun]

This song is so powerful... I love Isaac's images and Peter is an incredible human being.

Thanks, Anna, your father is the most wonderful man and artist.

[spotswoodthenewt]

Wow. Respectful. Transcendental. Touching. Poignant. Perfect. 5*****'s

[centwestern]

We played this song on the funeral of my father.

I still cry when I hear it.

Not just for the memories but because its a beautie as well..

Thank you..

[Racefanz28]

This song is so beautiful and the video is wonderful! It makes me cry everytime I watch it or hear the song! Thanks for posting!

[ericphi1]

I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful video !

The archive images of your father with his own father and son are very moving. The realization is very simple, sober, true, just like the song.

[sanduh1985]

pa dit is voor jou

[willshibs]

Thank You

[nijenna]

when i hear this song, i start missing my dad terribly.

[RonG40]

I am moved to tears by this...I hate to say it, but it gets me every time...If anything could get me to talk to my Dad, this is it. That's how powerful this song is.

Peter's a genius in the truest sense.

[alexstrat]

Peter Gabriel is still my favorite singer !! Just a succession of emotions

[mattderrenson]

444. God speaks to me in those numbers.

[baddirt78]

Awesome!

[drumhugger]

Thank you for sharing Anna, your all in my prayers to continue the good works. However rocky its been for you being Pete's girl, you are on your own path, just follow as close as you can to Dad without sacrificing yourself. Drumhugger

[LukePetersen]
