Wonderful song. It sounds complex, but when you read the lyrics its sooo simple to understand. I remember hearing this on a very dark day in my life nearly 20years ago!
This is real music, real talent, to all people who watch X factor and those terrible programs, you are stopping the real artists from getting into the music industry. This is how it should be, artists around for years producing brilliant songs like this. Peter is fantastic. I cannot think of a better song put together than this one and Don't Give up...
I first heard this song a few days ago and almost cried at my relation to it. I've never been so moved by a song before. I had it on replay for over 3 straight hours then sporadically over another 15 hours without listening to even one other song...

@artconva She is the most wonderful woman in the world I never thot existed. She has been the one I have searched for my entire life and having NOW found her all my rivers flow into her.
@eden5675 "my name is eden, and this is offically my theme song <3" - yeah, fuck the meaning and all the lyrics and shit. Lets identify with one word in the title and call it your theme.
Over many many years I've often laid and listened to this masterpiece in the pitch black of my hand-made darkness... and it leaves me speechless and consumed each time.
Unbelievable....unbelievable how a human can interpret our situation in such a pure, smooth, sympathetic way. I love humane for instances such as this...
to be lost and alone is simplistic. to be lonely and desolate from love is a pain undescribable. to crave rain and darkness to surpress fear and pain is a path no one should travel but many draw a map for. to risk all for light with darkness so near on the horizon is the true flaw or love and creation
"I think we've all been there. That's the beauty of PG at times. He just says what we already know or have learned"--Beautiful, 3daypriest, I could not have said it better.
I am uncertain as to why religion or spirituality needs to be brought up when we are each enjoying the music and presence of Sinead & Peter in the ways that we can. Supernaturalism and joy are not one and the same. The former is part of one's imagination and the latter is part of our nature. Best wishes.
Watching this video now, you can see the love that Peter and Sinead really did have for each other. But I guess their bipolar tendencies prevented that relationship from being permanent.
Daniel Lanois!!!!! What a genius ! The musical emotion he shows both in Blood of Eden and "Goodbye" with Emmylou Harris is far beyond anyone else, I've heard.
Peter and Sinead, two of the greatest singers in popular music history. Love them both, and shame it didn't work out romantically as musically I agree a match made in heaven.
Those lyrics. . . transcendental, sublime, core. . . straight from the softest center. The purest poetry. Wow!! If this doesn't make a believer out of you. . . .
And. . . ? Am I supposed to feel crestfallen or snubbed? (-;
It was just a manner of speaking. If a few folks can relate to my comment in a positive way, that's great. What was it that Lincoln said about pleasing some of the people some of the time, but never all of the people all of the time?
i love this song. i remember when i first saw this video. meh dad was still alive then. he used to hold meh up on his shoulder and we would dance to this.. its so sad because at his feunaral they played this song. and i remember crying and i remembered how it felt to loose ur best friend heh was the only person in the world who could understand meh. i love u dad. this is ur song
Sorry to hear such a thing, the only thing I can say is that humans should be 'happy' that a family member is no longer tied to the bondage of the material world (at least this is the scope of Buddhism) and when we cried those who just passed away, UNCONSCIOUSLY, we retain their ethereal being to this world.
I've decided to be solemn when my beautiful mother passes away but I will try not to cry.
Your comment touched me as I'm sure that it has affected others. This is what music is about! Thank you for sharing your story. It is a beautiful one.
A couple of lines of lyrics from Blood of Eden sum up the song for me: "What a moment this is; Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss."
Thank you, Peter Gabriel, for your musical integrity, for your innovation, for WOMAD, for your ability to unite people through truly wonderful and inspirational music that knows no boundaries or limitations. Long may it be so.
The reason you can't get insurance is that there are dinosaurs roaming your back garden. I had the same problem. That and i don't think insurance firms exist in the era you are living in. You and your woman.
this song is spiritual... everything is, but this is more... i only understand reflection, in the blood of eden the woman and the man... i don't care about words... i don't need them. music, universal languaje
Peter Gabriel has always been one of the only true innovators in the music industry.
While others look to play it safe and stay successful, he originates something fresh. I cant think of him without thinking of Kate Bush as well who also has went against the grain but turned out pure brilliance in return.
u must try to undrstnd the profound words of the song and the imagery presented in the video. it has a very biblical message "the darkness still has work to do" which is represented by the serpent going around in the video... what this implies is that the devil is still very much in charge of this world and until we humans learn to treat each other like true brothers things are only going to get worst... 'million unheard souls' means souls that didn't get the chance 2 b born in this world...
Well,you are right in terms of the biblical massage and the imagery.But what I meant was I just didn't like the way it is presented e.g. the pictures,figures..
This song was pretty bad. Really. And I LOVE Sinead and Gabriel.
