  • May I recommend the book 'A Concise Guide To Eighties Music' by Karl Vorderman. The author is a big fan of this fine instrumental.

  • it took me ages to hunt this album down the old fashioned way when u used to go into record stores...but well worth it....

  • This is the Gabriel you'll never hear on the radio, but should.

  • God! This song is awesome. When I downloaded this album and I first heard this song I said: "Eww, what an ugly song". Then I heard it for the second time and my eyes opened! "Can this get any better?" I said. Wow! This is one of the most magnificient pieces of music I've ever heard.

  • The first time I listened to this song, I got chills. It's one of the few times where a story visual played out in my head that I had never thought of before I listened to this song. Everything leading up to 2:10 played out as an arabian princess being marched to the gallows for her execution. She had fallen in love with a wandering assassin, and when her father the King found out, he ordered her execution as he had arranged for her to marry a prince.

  • At 2:10, when it seems inevitable the princess will be killed, the assassin falls out of the sky and slays the executioner, along with a few nearby guards. He then lifts the princess onto his horse and hops on behind her, as to protect her back from being struck with arrows. As the guitars play, they ride into the sunset. At 4:00, he is struck by 1 arrow in the dead center of his back. Finally at 4:35, he falls off the back of the horse and dies, knowing the princess is safe.

  • Oui is "The Passion" Peter Gabriel compose. It made for film "Last Temptation of Christ" Simply lovely. Merci

  • I used to play Quake to this Soundtrack... Simply Amazing

  • what's the name of this album. I must buy it

  • @frogmarch100 album name is "Passion"

  • @frogmarch100 Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ

  • It's like journeying through the Great Barrier Reef and watching Arabian horses dancing through the desert

  • This is prolly the only album I bought by mistake and then kept on as my favorite album of all time. I've worn it out 3 times and it still keeps me comming back for more. Easily the best album of Peter Gabriel. This number and "Of these, Hope" are my favorites.

    Best part is from 2:10 till the end.

  • @Farbautisonn I agree 2:10 and up is amazing!

  • Wow.

    2:12 its like the rain clouds come rolling in.

  • amazing piece of art...
