I really thought he was saying "Skyrim" instead of "Sky Blue"... I think I've logged too many hours this week.

I have several photos very similar to this one.  A submarine buddy got out of the Navy, went to grad school at Carnegie Mellon, and took photos of colliding columns of water droplets as a paid research assistant.  Somehow the photos allowed detailed analysis of the physics involved in the collision.  Anyway, he sent me a few to prove that his work was essential to the betterment of mankind.  Since he was being paid more than we were as sub sailors, I had to agree.

But I digress ...

No, no - if you hold it really close, it's the Nazca lines.

While I'm listening to that song, I enter a state akin to light hypnosis. It's as engaging as ANY damn business meeting I've ever attended!

I heard and saw PG perform this song live during the Up Tour. The Blind Boy of Alabama came up in the centre of the stage. Everyone I was there with was touched by the performance. It was beautiful!

... Much like this album cover... Peter Gabriel's music  reveals itself slowly.  I wont be surprised to hear {#Jump}nuances every time I listen to even his older music.

I am really amazed at how polarized the comments on PG's music are. Not many artists inspire so much love or hate without much in between. I wonder what that quality is? I have always loved his music. To my mind's ear he carries a voice of sincerity, exudes a conscious, caring awareness and the music always has a depth that can change my mood. Admittedly "So" was an overproduced pop gem, but it still has an enduring depth that very, very few pop records achieve.

Couldn't agree more.

Put simply, amongst all the over produced ipod equalised pap that is churned out by the music industry Gabriel continues to make real music with love and care lavished upon its producton and songs that mean something. Not instantly accessible, but invest the time and effort and the rewards are huge.

If you have to claim that you're not whining, then you most assuredly are.

This sounds better the louder you play it! I don't think it's his best vocal, but I love the atmosphere of the song.

This is going to be terribly vague... but wasn't the "oh-ohhh-oh" background vocal used in a CSI episode in the past couple of years?

EDIT: Got it. It was used in "Revenge Is Best Served Cold", in season 3 (2003).

Durn it, now I can't not notice it.
8. Wasn't blown away by this disc, but this was my favorite tune from it.
Saw him in Philly in '92. Like nothing I've ever seen. Go if you ever get the chance.

something about this song is so enveloping. I used to think there was very little Peter Gabriel i liked, i'm happy to be finding more

still don't like sledgehammer though.

Come on, nobody likes Sledgehammer.

I like Sledgehammer...

I like "Big Time" better, though.
