This song was banned and pulled from the airwaves in the US. It was released around the time of 9/11 and any association with airplanes, big cities and falling was considered bad taste. This was supposed to be the big hit single for the AfroCelts but circumstance changed that. Still, it makes me wonder about who ultimately decides these things.

Peter Gabriel - beautiful voice, genius song writer!!!!

@burdlow

[bellatriss117]

[TAT2DJAX]

[camsotherstuff]

[mynameISsky]

Inside me it's sounds like this....

[MagixMind]

This has to be the coolest song I have ever heard with a skydiving movie or video, ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!

[TheHolySpirit]

Fallen Angel? Gabriel? ;)

[mrfloyd93]

who call this gabriel`s record or disc?? I dont had this disc....

[AmyKay01]

I do wish I could make out more clearly what the Afro Celt women are singing in the background. If only there were a transcription of their words somewhere!

[ofarevolution12]

love love love

[VIR0L0GY]

What a psychadelic video as well! Haha! Brilliant!

[sougias78]

Every day, you crawl into the night a fallen angel, with your wings set alight when you hit the ground, everything turns to blue I can't get through the smoke, that's surrounding you ... Read more 'cause when you're falling I can't tell which way is down and when you're screaming somehow I don't hear a sound and when you're seeing things then your feet dont touch the ground 'cause when you're falling I can't tell which way is down

[hauntedauckland]

I made SURE this was on the CD I played for my now wife of some years....you GOTTA get laid as a direct result of playing this for someone.

[fskoti]

Thank you so much for posting a HQ audio track to this.

[NALung]

@fskoti I'll second that. Great sound on this one. Thanks!

[IWannaIguana1]

I had to look at certain parts of this video twice; is the pilot and the man on the ground the same person? Are they both Peter Gabriel? And how come the captain of the plane is sitting on the right side? So many questions!

[heyvalera]

All these men are Peter Gabriel, indeed. I presume he is a CO-pilot...

[IWannaIguana1]

I am a pilot and I know that the Captain sits on the left side while the first officer sits on the right. And the captain has four stripes while the first officer has three. Take another look at the pilots. With such a high quality music video as this it seems like they would get these details straight.

[TheHatefulDead]

"So many questions! "

hahaha...

and so little time!

[renajsh]

@IWannaIguana1 PG appears three times in this video. He is the co-pilot, a businessman in a suit looking out of the skyscraper watching the falling man and a pedestrian in a red shirt that looks up and stops just short of getting smacked by the falling man. Hope this helps.

[FWYGINOND]

Nice. I would mind waking up to this.

[FWYGINOND]

What is "afro celt" and why is it mentioned in the title?

[midnightwolf333]

Afro Celt id the band/artist.

[fskoti]

Afro Celt Sound System is what they used to be called, now they are just "Afro Celt". World music artists. They are VERY good. The album that this is from is very good. Look for "Afro Celt North pt. 1". Best song in history.

[TheHatefulDead]

Yeah, what midnightwolf said.

"Afro Celt Sound System" (or "AfroCelts") is a fusion band combining modern dance music with traditional African & Irish music. Peter Gabriel was one of many guest performers they've had over the years.

[estephania304]

They use this in the "Adreneline Rush" HD video about skydiving and base jumping. Love it!

[krockcfd31]

this song's the bomb........

[oodoodanoo]

Isn't life wonderful? I'm glad I'm part of it.

[jimi747]

Everyday, you crawl into the night A fallen angel, with your wings set alight When you hit the ground Everything turns to blue I can't get through the smoke That's surrounding you Cause when youre falling I cant tell which way is down And when youre screaming Somehow I don't hear a sound And when you're seeing things

[jimi747]

Then your feet dont touch the ground Cause when you're falling I can't tell which way is down I can see through the clouds I can walk right through the walls Hang me off the ceiling But I can't take the fall Should have crossed the river But I may get swept away Out there on the water You can still see me wave

[mcbzne]

Great song. I heard it in the Imax movie Adrenalin Rush movie and spent about 2 hours trying to find the video. By the way the Imax movie was awesome.

[tdog1082]

Love this song, didn't know who it was by though. Also didn't know many words to it. Took me like 2 weeks before I finally asked someone on Yahoo Answers. Saved to favorites so I don't lose it :)

[CharlyDeeCynthius]

as usual great performance by one of the big artist in the world.

Too much enjoyed
