  • I get it.  Great work man.

  • This is a fantastic cover.

    Thanks for sharing it.

    Is there any chance of getting a tab for your version?

  • great brother, now if you could toss me some chords I would love it more, one of the most underrated songs

  • beautiful! any chance of getting the tab?

  • Thanks :)

  • You're doing a great job Isodig. It's a personal touch you give to the song that makes it so nice!

  • cool ! could be cleaner but not bad at all :).

  • You look like Dennis Quaid

  • Definately the best arrangement on here.Sounds far better than the available tabs. So howabout putting a tab on ultimate guitar yourself.

  • When I do it there are many differents chords.. anyway i didn't put it on youtube :-). Good to hear your version.

  • excellent!  best cover on you tube!!!

  • Comment removed

    I dig it! Never heard this song before.

    I love it,

    Charlie from Charlotte NC

    Hilde

  • wow that's really artistic adapting a piano song for guitar. haha i looked over that sentence and it looks sarcastic, but i mean it sincerely :) you're pretty good

  • wow that's really artistic adapting a piano song for guitar. haha i looked over that sentence and it looks sarcastic, but i mean it sincerely :) you're pretty good

  • Thank you for paying tribute to one of the finest, most beautiful songs ever written. I have loved this song for 30 years, and only a handful of people ever seem to know it.

  • wow. This is inspiring. Nice guitar arrangement. Great writeup. can't agree more. I have vivid memories of PG doing this song, solo, just him, piano, and a spotlight. Thanks for sharing!

  • that was great dude real good

  • Isodig you're always surprising me! This song is one of my faves from Fripp's Exposure album, along with the inimitable John Hall doing North Star. It's a GREAT song and a damn good rendition! We seem to have the same influences. Peace and music!

  • u make this song soo sick man

    u shud shred an acoustic solo!! i wud add it

    to my ipod fo sho

  • amazing song, amazing cover, keep up the good work!

    i see that you are using a capo, that should make it easier to play, right?

    do you have any tabs for this song? i'd really appreciate it.

  • Very cool cover.  Your voice is well-suited to Peter Gabriel's songs--do more! Really nice job here.

  • good song man jimmy in kansas.

  • Mr Isodig.

    I dont know the tune,but i like it!!!!

    THANK YOU

  • c'est vraiment très très bien

  • Wow, you have one of those great unpolished voices, man, I really dig it. And an excellent choice of a longtime favorite song of mine.

  • excellent!.

    congratulations and my admiration.

  • very nice.

  • Wow...just wow. This is an amazing song, and it sounds GREAT on guitar! Thanks so much for sharing. Would you mind sharing tab for this?

  • Sure. I'll mail you what I have. I wanted to add it to the end of the description but I get an error when I try (too big?)....

  • Yeah, I'v gotten that before as well, but then I see others with longer descriptions. Apparently we aren't special! :) Thanks!

  • nice job man. alot of feeling there.

  • Thanks Paul, yeah it's one of those songs. I guess if there were more they wouldn't stand out. I don't know.. but I do like it.

  • Great cover!! Your right he was underated

    the lyrics are excellent too

  • Thanks Jane, I appreciate it and not surprised you dig this song. :-)

  • Very moving cover, your voice sounds raspy and smooth at the same time, it gets along so well with the sound of acoustic guitar. Your arrangement is really good, I know how hard it can be to find the right chords or to write a full tab. Well, let's sum up : subscribed ;)

  • You, madame, are awesome. :-)

  • One of my favorites from a true genius. Don't put your vox down; you sound great! Thank you for chosing such a different song to cover. All around wonderful. Favorited, 5 stars and a sub! Jon

  • Hey Jon - thanks for all the nice words and sentiments.. I appreciate it.. Vocals are a challenge for me, I just haven't really been trying to sing for long..

  • Yeah... vocals are my toughest hurdle, too. I'd kill to have a powerful voice... well maybe just mame.

  • Thanks Jon, Yeah Peter has a incredibly powerful voice. Must be nice... Plus the range... it's just not right, lol.

  • cool! :)

  • Thanks Frank :-)

  • Really good job man! I adore this song. Would there ever be a chance of you sharing the chords for it?? :)

  • I'd be glad to.. Message me and let me know how detailed you need.. I should do something detailed anyway before I forget, lol (and that won't be long, trust me..) Anyway, back to the main point... What was I talking about? Thanks.

  • Great cover of a good song well done RoXOn

  • Thanks bro, glad you dig it :-)

  • After hearing this many times on keyboards, it was a sharp change to hear it on acoustic guitar. Well done.

  • Thanks, it was certainly a test of my courage, lol. It's an excellent song though so it is conceivable that it would sound great on a kazoo.

  • I usually think of Peter Gabriel in terms of Tony Levin's phenomenal bass and PG's keyboards, but you have opened up a new and exciting possibility doing PG's music on acoustic. I really like it! That inspires me to explore some possibilities like this. Five big fat juicy stars from Stratman.

  • Oh man, thanks! That's the kind of thing I like to hear from other musicians and really it's the reason I post stuff up here in the first place. Rock on man.

  • I already commented earlier, but just had to say again, I really love your version of this! I've come back to it a number of times; there hasn't been another song on here that I enjoy listening to near as much. ;)

  • Thanks M :-) (The smile is for the M) (and the thanks too) That's a shocking compliment. I warned you about my head and doorways before. Some rooms in my house aren't big enough to get the running distance for proper velocity to force my head through.

  • great cover! from piano 2 guitar chords!! amazing.. *M*

  • Hey there OP03 :-) Thanks, glad you dig it.

  • I agree with the 'hits', some of his best music came with Genesis and this is absolutely one of my favorite songs. Thanks for giving it some justice, even if it's not the same.

  • Awesome to meet another fan of this tune - thanks for being nice. It's the best I can do on this song and still I feel it deserves better. It does.

  • great song. nice to hear it covered

  • Thanks man.. And thanks for not ragging me for the performance. :-)

  • NIIICE. This song is new to me.. It's really good.

    You have a wonderful voice ;-)

  • Thanks, I am glad you like it!

  • Wow. I'm in COMPLETE AWE, really. This is really, really, really, So...GREAT. REALLY!! I think it's my favorite one, actually. I love how you just throw yourself into the song you're singing! I think it's really cool! *****

    (I've never heard this before...I may just have to

    learn it. I love the guitar part!)

  • Wow back at you Molly... It really SHOCKS me when I get a comment like this from someone that I dig so much and who impresses me so greatly. Thanks :-) Now my head is gonna be so big I am gonna have to get a running start to squeeze it through doorways.

  • 5/5!! =:D

  • And the stars are awesome. :-)

  • Hey man, you're an awesome player! Your voice is strong and conveys real emotion. Excellent! Dan =:)

  • Thanks Dan9tee, I am glad you dig the cover and I appreciate the compliments man.

  • No problemo! =:) It's worth every star!!

  • isodig it :)

  • Hey thanks, I'm glad you dig it. :-) Sorry I didn't stand on a chair.

  • hahahaha

  • this is great, WOW you have a killer voice!!!

  • Yes, killer as in a perfect killing device for keeping those slacker friends in line.. lol, Thanks!

  • Great passion....sounds great !

  • Hey Tap, thanks bro.. I got you a pending on ms, lol.

  • i don't like capos to begin with, but the 4th fret, and then barre--let the guitar breathe. Singing is great

  • Good points. I don't know how I could have done some of those chords with out a capo though. I think what you are hearing is more that I am pounding the guitar so there is little sustain, and that I could correct but I have a tough time singing hard and playing soft (or at all, lol).. Thanks!

  • very nice!!!!

  • Thanks Killertikisurf, I am glad you dig it bro :-)

  • In addition to loving Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel is also a huge personal favourite. Superb cover of this song. Since you like The Final Cut, checkout Silverfish's version of The Gunner's Dream.

  • Hiya Bloggermouth.. Thanks! Yeah that version of The Gunner's Dream has been a well visited favorite of mine - it's the best cover of that I have ever heard, even without a sax.

  • Great stuff... intelligent song, great delivery*****

  • ParadiseEarth1 - Hey man - thanks, you rock bro. I dig your new song - it's awesome!

  • Great version Isodig,keep it up bro!

  • Thank you sir, I am honored indeed.

  • Awesome! I guess tying your shoelaces with your toes isn't so hard after all!! (I love Peter Gabriel and everything he's ever done - but this is really outstanding.) Keep the videos coming.

  • It's still very hard for me, lol. Thanks for the nice comment man. I recently changed the battery in my Tak 12 and I was thinking of you since you amp yours and wondering if you had as much trouble.. :-)

  • i dont know,but i have lost this song.

    wonderful cover,favorite!

  • Hey Pepi, thanks man. :-)

  • Isodig seem like your tieing your shoe pretty good here!!!

  • Right on! You read my profile - awesome :-) And yeah, I can't explain, I just focus on getting the knots to hold.

  • Beautiful song.

    I always thought this song was about the ancient civilization of Atlantis...

  • Hey, me too! At least it's what I pictured in my head. I heard the Fripp version first which is very watery, lol.

  • cool, I'm glad someone else thinks that. most people think it's about a psychic flood, or mind reading, or the rapture or something.

    The Fripp version?

  • Yeah, that's what P.G. says he was thinking about, some sort of telepathic ability, but some artists thoughts are better left out of the art. I kind of like a "cost of our progress" meaning. Anyway, I had a tape in the 80's called Exposure by Robert Fripp (from King Crimson) release of songs with people (like Daryl Hall and Brian Eno). Strange but cool.

  • Great performance of this song!!!

    Your voice is so amazing:-D

    YOU ROCK ☆☆☆☆☆

  • Heya nascream :-) Thanks a bunch, what a killer comment. I dig those stars, I have only seen them from you, and I am thinking you are more clever than you are letting on... (Five star clever: ☆☆☆☆☆ :-)

  • Man...you sure pick some tough ones to cover. This is so excellent, I listened to all three thirds - not just the first. :) Thanks for posting it.

  • Hey Doc, thank you sir, I am always honored by your comments. I don't know why I pick songs that are way beyond me lol. I like them before I think about how hard they are. I imagine you are working on Penny Lane.. Looking forward to it!

  • Just awesome man ;-) that's music original !! Keep on rockin'

  • Thanks Alexstrat. I appreciate it.

  • GREAT version of this song man... P.G's a big fav' of mine and this guitar arrangment works VERY well!! I-so-dig what you've done with it.... BIG 5!! =o]

  • Awesome, thanks PaulW2007.. I am glad you like it man. To be honest I was more worried about the P.G. fans hating it, lol.

  • I had never heard this song before, but now its one of my new favorites. Thanks for covering it!

  • Thanks Dreamfingers, I am glad you dig it man. Your songs rock me, by the way, I am glad you are putting up your tunes.

  • Great cover I like this Peter Gabriel song. Thanks for sharing it!

  • ourmathew, thanks man, glad you like the song.

  • Excellent. Peter Gabriel's a master. Great choice to cover.

  • Hey aarythmic, thanks bro.

  • You have the most incredible voice... Really love it!

  • Thanks Annie, 'most incredible voice' kind of blows my mind coming from you given that I think you are one of the best singers on YT... and songwriters too, and one of the coolest people, all those thing people know if they pay attention. I do dig the compliment. :-)

  • Hey thanks Aleisha :-)

  • I agree with you and I think that you do him justice by simply stating that. :D Your cover is beautiful.

  • Great! I enjoyed it a lot.

  • Hey Kris, thanks bro and I am STILL digging your Verve tune every day, and I still think it's better than the original.

  • Wow, what a great rendition! You have a nice and warm voice, really authentic! Nice surprise, thanks!

  • Thanks Scribbles, you are awesome and your comment is a nice surprise as well!

  • Beautiful Isodig! Truely! Your voice is always better and betetr and I couldn't hear what you were saying: hard to play and sing at the same time.(even though, I believe it was, but i couldn't hear it)

  • Thanks VB. Good to know it's hard to understand, and it's a bummer.. I always worry about volume, I felt like I was shouting this one a bit much. That's kinda why I included the lyrics just in case. Thanks for letting me know.

  • Underrated musicians?..Gabriel is considered a genius by many important critics,but maybe is true cos his Womad and Amnesty involvment has made him more famous about his activist than his music history.Anyway he still is regarded as the guy who make Genesis one of the best bands in the world with The Lamb lies down on Broadway.

  • I am in total agreement dietervondirk, though I would wager that many people today have never heard of The Lamb lies down on Broadway, much less heard anything from it. And by underrated, I only meant the difference between how awesome he is and the amount of play he gets. People that know him certainly dig him.

  • Though maybe my opinion only reflects the US music scene..

  • By the way..magnific cover :)

  • Thanks dietervondirk. :-)

  • Wow dude, 26 5ers, had to check it out again Bro. This is great, again!! Now Im goin to "Rising".

  • Hey Jerry, Thanks man... lol, I was just listening to your Mojo Sack tune.

  • Very nice! I have a request for you. How about giving the "Crazy on You" intro by Heart. I am trying to learn it. I think you should do it.

    Alec

  • Hi Alec, Thanks! And yeah yeah.. I used to play that years ago.. It's like stepping onto a moving train.. I'll see what I can remember.

  • No prob dude. The song is quite hard. I am going to have to play a sissier version.

    Alec

  • tough song,nice job cool !!!!

  • Thanks Mark!

  • sooo nice!!! Coool!!!

  • Thanks gujobaobab! Keep rocking!

  • thats a great cover and a very difficult one at that cheers 5 and all datm8

  • Thanks kalidescopeeye! And cheers to you bro.

  • I love it! Your voice is PG-like, but moreso? Is that possible? lol I love PG and IRTtheBorg is right, not many PG covers here on YT, so it's good to hear. Subscribed! Will check out your stash further. Thanks so much (saw your comment on Burch9's Mojo Sack vid and had to check you out) Best, Joy >^..^<

  • Thanks Joy, very nice comment. To be honest I am surprised people like my voice - it doesn't sound good to my ears (unlike PG), I just try real hard to hit the right notes and be expressive about what I think the song is about. And oooohh yeah, Jerry's new song is awesome - it was added to my favorites fast and I can't stop listening to it. :-)

  • Excellent! You gave a brilliant performance. I wish there were more PG covers on YT. 5/5 -Larry

  • Hi Larry, Thanks man. I agree, I would like to see PG get more play around here. :-)

  • I love that song. Your version is Excellent. I thought it was impossible to play that alone with a guitar. I was wrong. Great!

  • Thanks Michel, I appreciate it sir. :-)

  • you know what Isodig man...you do really cool, different kinda tunes....i am a huge Gabriel fan (especially Securtiy...love to hear this cover great job!....i have thought about doing San Jacinto but can't figure out the sample how to play on guitar.....cheers!

    Brent

  • Hey Brent, good to see you man. I do usually try to do stuff that hasn't been covered a million times already. San Jacinto would be an awesome cover for you to do, at least I would totally dig it - it's a floydish feeling song. I know what you mean about putting that to guitar, it's what I like most and least about playing the guitar. I would probably punt on the top side Fripp'ish stuff and build something back up off the bass lines..

  • I dig it. I saw you climbing one of the lists with this one, so I came to add to the rise.

  • Thanks David - I'm glad you do bro, and very cool of you.

  • I like this song very much. You've done a very original work!

  • Thanks Martin! You rock man. And I mean that literally. Your tunes are killer.

    Love it when peeps recognize true talents Brotha!!

  • Thanks Jerry, that's definitely cool. And I just kinda said the same thing on Eddie's new song, but.. it's the peeps that I respect who are digging it that is the big honor.

  • Nice job! Haven't heard this song in a while!

    -steve-

  • Hey Steve, thanks bro.

  • Love it

  • Thanks classican!

  • i had to come back and watch some more, you done an awesome job on this one

  • Thanks again man... Check out Happy Rhodes version. She covers like a million octaves, lol.
