  • brilliant..Is there any doubt he is a genius among the file rank of so called rock stara

  • Very moving.

  • Sort of lost count of how many times I have said 'thanks' to Peter G

    This is all becoming a bit naft

    If anyone is listening anymore 'Please hold On"

    life is for living - all else can wait

    you are very lucky to be reading this - consider the life of others

  • One of Peters best.

  • Thank you, Peter, for sharing compassion and hope with generations of people.

  • " Though you may disappear....you're not forgotten here...and I will do what I can do..,,we will do what we can do.."....this is what music can bring..tears to the eyes......

  • There are a handful of songs that make your spine tingle when you hear them..... this is one of those songs. Peter Gabriel .... thank you!

  • awesome

  • I have loved this song and known it word for word since I was a kid.

  • Never fails to reduce me to tears, this song.

  • Ståpälsvarning!!!

    For those who don't speak swedish:

    Raised-fur-warning! (meaning the hair all over your body will stand)

  • He's a great performer and musical artist, but an equally amazing poet. I've used his visual poetry in my literature classes. My students love it.

  • so fucking good

  • lips quivering

  • Amazing performance!

  • Thank YOU Peter. We do what we can indeed, thank you.

  • Yea @vivalavidarocka, like record labels wouldn't appreciate people mentioning a song by an artist? wha?? O.o?

  • so beautiful.. it been years that I listened to the original.. this version is even better

  • God - this is beautiful.

  • So beautiful,that it brings tears to my eyes.

  • nice song.i almost feel tearfull x

  • An instrumental version of this song was used as the theme tune to the Nicholas cage film 'Birdy' to great effect, other instrumental versions of Peters songs were used in the film too and a few new pieces by him. beautiful song!

  • @Tinytim3013 Alan Parker's film Birdy. Never mention a movie by an actor. Directors won't appreciate it.

  • To all the people fighting for freedom in the Arab World. To all the people waking up here in the USA occupying Wall Street, HOLD ON!!

  • this song i can relate to a lot and its a big comfort right now

  • This freaks me right out...his voice is the same (if not better) than on the original recording!!! This is so beautiful. My guru, my elder of the arts...for the last 33 years.

  • I hate this song..I'm a big fat bloke.."Hard" Some say...this makes me Cry everytime I hear Peter sing this amazing song....Fat Boys Cry Too

  • So much hope and compassion in this beautiful song. Thank you PG.

  • This song has saved my life more than once.

  • Shillo u were right !

  • Peter must have seen some real sorrow when he wrote song. I can feel his passion. Life is so damn short, why do people hurt others for money, for power, I think his music has made people realize images of terror, pain don't help any one at all. I think we all him a great thank you for making us realize, it's possible to care for others a whole lot more than ourselves. Thank you Peter..dback

  • @darinback This song is inspired on the events that took place at ESMA, a torture place in Argentina during the last dictatorship.

  • You think this can't get any more beautiful then 4:23 comes along and...I will do what I can do...

  • ké bon !!!!

  • Che meraviglia

  • PGs voice is just as perfect as it was in 1982.

  • so frightening in same time... Magic, seriously, that's magic... for me :)

  • Perfect!

    

  • Damn I love when he hits high notes like that. <3

  • true, much better than the studio version - beautifully ripe artist.

    the video is exquisite in intimacy and simplicity. the piece is the statement of his lifelong committment to fighting injustice.

  • One of the best PG songs ever.

  • amazing

    

  • That is up to par, if not even better, than the studio version- and he's about 30 years older here.

    This man is impressive, to say the least! Keep it up!

  • frikkin awesome

  • What a beautiful voice.

  • I count this particular song among my reasons to live.

  • I certainly hope nobody gives this a thumbs down

  • mindblowing - for those who doubt his voice has been declining over the past decades!

  • mindblowing - for those who doubt his voice has been declining over the past decades!

  • I just finished watching this on Peter's website. Absolutely beautiful. He's just as brilliant as the CD version I'm so used to, recorded almost 30 years ago :)
