The always exquisite and angelic vocals of Kate Bush.

Song remains relevant and poignant here in 2013 given the continued high levels of unemployment and general economic malaise we are enduring.

But then again, I really like Peter Gabriel...

That's kind of sad. The song is so weepy and maudlin.

Maybe, but that is what happens when you have a catalogue of songs as deep and strong as he does. Few artist reach that mark.I like this one. Bass playing strong, arrrangement builds nicely, heart felt story... 

too easy   

wnen the piano comes in the song goes from the particular to the universal...as relevant today as when it was  written

Would have been OK (just) if Kate Bush wasn't singing. 

So much precious so early in the morning.

 She put out a beautiful album 50 Words for Snow last November. Really worth checking out...especially as the winter is approaching :)

Only one word to describe this.  Genius. 

Sorry dude, I 'gave up' listening @ 0:01

This is the only Kate Bush I've ever liked.  That shrill voice of hers works well against Peter's salty vocals.

yippiiiieee!
peter was here, in Stuttgart, yesterday!! (and me, too, that is :-)
i was not sure before if a whole concert with (only) a classic orchestra would be working, for me, but was completely amazed how good it worked. especially songs which seems very strange to perform this way - like INTRUDER f.e., 
yes: "don´t give up" (which is NOT my favourite pg song) was included  in the set-up yesterday. , with his daughter Melanie doing the "Kate Bush" vocals. very moving version...
although, the undisputed highlight was the absolute breathtaking, powerfiul version of BIKO (in my opinion one the best "political rock songs" of all time)

And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now

although pg did not make a lot of "new stuff" the last years, he ist still one of the best rock performers around here.

i saw him for the first time on April 2nd, 1975.. one of the very last concerts he did with Genesis on April 2, 1975in 1975, performing "The Lamb lies down on Broadway" omg how long ago is THIS!!

Kate Bush has a four octave vocal range.

Tony Levin doin' his thing on bass.

Sixteen or so years later, this song still holds up well (as do these two artists.) Especially in these times.

The latest (at least here in the states) issue of Prog magazine has a nice and exhaustive article on Kate.
