It's the way he pulls a listener into his brain and shows them what he's thinking, even if sometimes it's scary or disconcerting.

I won't stop spending money on his music, unless he does Partridge Family covers. {#Mrgreen}

The live version is on the Growing Up Live DVD- I highly recommend this- I think it is one of the best concerts I have seen.  Wish Bill would play the live version- it has much more energy and an excellent bass rhythm.

This song works.  PG doing something different and singing ala Genesis for a change in his solo stuff.

Peter Gabriel's greatest music was when Daniel Lanois was producing him and when he was inspired by the muse of a loss of a love.

Hi hey-day is when Daniel Lanois was producing him for those two great albums.  You tell his influence in songs such as this one.

The new album coming out is full orchestration... But there are some awesome videos of some of them on his website! The Red Rain one is spectacular. Can't wait.

The absolute best concert I have ever seen is the PG tour promoting this album. And it was this song for the closer (before encore). It was truly incredible. There is a Secret World DVD avail. Terrific audio, questionable video, but a must for PG fans. production design by the Cirque Du Soleil designer.

Truth to that.
"In this state of disrepair ... in all the places we were hiding love; what was it we were thinking of ..."
I let about 18 years of my life just flitter by, wondering about that.

Normally, PG is a 1 every time. He just grates on my nerves. This song is a bit better than usual. 4

LOL agreed. Like someone else here said, he's like chocolate! However I do have a few friends who actually DON'T like chocolate (gasp!) so I guess we must forgive the occasional anomaly.

Not old school at all. Laser disc was state of the art. My 21 yr old thinks laser disc is the grenade, or bomb, or something like that, I can't remember, I grew up in the 70's I think.

Wow, goosebumps. I really like this, although it´s Peter Gabriel. Have to check this album out. I´m really sick and tired of Gabriels world music crap that gets played on RP but this is fantastic.

The lyricism alone just blows me away!

"So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware"

Read Sherwoood Anderson's "There She Is -- She Is Taking Her Bath" Every time I hear these lyrics I think of this story and I expect that PG had read the short story as well ... The inscrutable lives of those that we think are so close to us, an ultimate divide impassable based on our very identity ...

Um, anyway : ) Peter (and Sherwood for that matter) get a 10 for this.
