Peter Gabriel Chile 2009 - San Jacinto - Hold the line (Hold the Light)

(Best viewed in HQ and Full Screen!)

March 24th, 2009 - 10:16pm.

We will walk - on the land
We will breathe - of the air
We will drink - from the stream
We will live - hold the line

This moment was magical. Even though he's done it many times before, if you watch him closely, his face denotes he still feels what he's singing. And on the other end, one will always be in awe when experiencing this song live, in person.
Of course, the song is much longer than what's shown here --the four final lines-- but the goal was trying to show people's reaction to it.

The last line is "I hold the line", which he mutates to "I hold the light" and starts pointing a beam of light from his hand to the audience. Wherever it went, people raised their arms forming a "wave".

It was impossible not to participate, so the filming result was not very good...

Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - run on skin
Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun
Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life

Medicine man lead me up though town - Indian ground -
so far down
Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water
wings - drink in cool
Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make
pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white
men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top -
keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow

I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear
San Jacinto - I hold the line
San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight -
I hold the line
And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it - getting weaker
I hold the line - I hold the line
San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun

We will walk - on the land
We will breathe - of the air
We will drink - from the stream
We will live - hold the line
