Co-written with Peter Gabriel, who released this song calling it 'This is the picture', released on the CD version of the 'So' album and as a B-Side. Both versions of the songs have a different mix; "Laurie was emphasizing the atmospheric part, while I was focusing on the rhythm", Peter stated in interviews for teh 'So' promotion in 1986.

I was at a Peter Gabriel show at Madison Square Garden oh somewhere around '87 or '88 and Laurie came on stage and did this song with Peter live. Truly amazing!!!!

Laurie danced to the beat of a different drummer, but it was a pretty cool drummer.
-
@Dannyboy6009 Peter often introduces this as a song co-written with Laurie anderson, now that i have heard this version, liek it better than Peter's, though the So album has him and Laurie singing together
-
peter gabriel is the opposite of rock, compared to laurie anderson.
-
laurie rocks, and peter does not.
-
I much prefer Laurie's version over Gabriel's.
Her version is far more delicate, exquisite.
Like too many of his songs, Gabriel's
version of this ("This Is The Picture")
is too heavy-handed, too much
thudding base in the mix. It ruins
the song's innate ethereal beauty
that Laurie envisioned.

@hellospacegirl an innovative, creative and talented artist, very much overlooked, perhaps she didn't try to be mainstream.

Attention Lady Gaga, Rhianna, Beyonce, Kesha, here is a chic with REAL talent!!!!!!!!!!!
