I saw this show in Oakland Ca. Fantastic. Especially liked the opening Come Talk to Me.and Steam. Damn the whole thing was spectacular. Pater Gabriel put in one hell of a show.
Hi, this song was written about the condition of women (especially in Africa), where the male is dominant. this song calls for a certain revolt on the part of women. The tree represents the male organ, erected ... that we come to destabilize (change traditions, put women at the same level as men). The first words are from the Wolof language of Senegal. Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon It means: If we knew, if you knew Original song sung in duet with Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour.
Paula Cole can saaaaaang...I wish there was a recording of her on this where you could hear her better. This is an incredible tribute to Women. Happy International Women's Day/Month everyone!
Peter is having FUN. He is a spiritual guy and supports humanity in everything he does. Gabriel and Paul Simon were big in promoting African rhythms and World Beat Music. Shake that tree. Make the changes needed. Take your power.
read the words to this song. It's my daughter's favorite Peter Gabriel song. It's very inspiring especially for women as the song says, "It's a woman's day". You don't have to do what your mother has done. You don't have to rely on anybody in order to succeed because It's your day, a woman's day !!! Your parents will support you when you're on your way
This entire concert, they give off such strong feelings of happiness and joy, it literally transfers to the audience and even to those of us watching it on a screen. This is my favourite song in the Secret World concert, I love that Gabriel recognizes the women in his audience should be strong and happy in all that they do. Look at everyone on stage smiling!
This is my favourite version. I play it for my daughter all the time. I grew up listening to Peter Gabriel and Genesis, also Kate Bush qnd many others..now my daughter will ❤. Thanks for doing this one!
This whole show is glorious, just look at the fun they're having performing this fantastic music. I've been to quite a few PG gigs and I always came away feeling that humanity has a chance.
Ha! You found Peter! Enjoy the ride! He’s got a rich and deep catalog. His concerts are moving sensory experiences that are interactive much like this song was with some surprises but never a drop in the quality of music for the sake of show. In Your Eyes and Sledgehammer were probably his biggest hits and his live vid of the former is a must see. Others are Solsbury Hill, Shock the Monkey, Rhythm of the Heat are just a few.
You got it. The song's a call to women to fight chauvinism. The studio version, a duet with African singer Youssou N'Dour, is great too. Great to see Tony Levin, one of the world's top bass players, in action, too. Another Peter Gabriel song worth reacting to is the live version of "Biko" - a lament for a South African who died during the fight against apartheid. Live versions have so much power, it can be like being hit in the heart by a hammer of love.
I've been to dozens of gigs from Floyd, The Who and The Stones to The Eagles and Bob Marley and Cliff Richard But PG's were unique they felt like a bunch of mates getting together and jamming brilliant
Peter Gabriel is an active senior member of Amenity International. He does more than just donate money. He is always fighting for civil rights around the world.
You have to watch the performance of the song Secret World from this tour of the same name. It’s one of his most beautiful and haunting songs and the live performance is EVERYTHING.
I’m just in awe. I remember him from the 80’s and thought he was great but had other bands I was into. Can someone tell me when exactly Peter turned into one by of the coolest mf’ers out there? You can’t imagine how much I regret not following him more closely from the early days. Thank you for introducing me to Peter 2.0! I’ve gotta deep dive now.
Loved your reaction to this song!! Watching your face as first your expressions were like "what is this... what is this about?" and then watching you ease into it and express joy. Priceless! I had the good fortune to see the "Secret World" concert in Philadelphia. It was the most amazing and life affirming concert of my life. I wish I could relive that experience. Check out the whole Secret World Concert as what you just experienced was only an appetizer. People will recommend the obvious hits from Secret World like "In your eyes" and some others. However, if you want a real treat watch/listen to "Blood of Eden" and "Talk to me" along with "Don't give up". Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything from the Secret World album.
I was in the 4th row from this round stage for this concert. It remains THE BEST concert experience I've ever had. The opening song was "Come Talk to Me" Just pure MAGIC from the start.
He's saying the family tree would not exist without women. So let's shake the tree for women everywhere for equality!! Their voices must be heard for it's a woman's day! Seen him 3x. Not this tour but before: 'Security tour,' truly amazing then 'growing up' just epic! and lastly with Sting ' rock , paper, scissors ' tour. excellent. Definitely world class stuff. Not for all, but always got something to captivate all.
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife You don't have to do what your mother has done She has done, this is your life, this new life has begun It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave Find your sisters or brothers who can hear all the truth in what you say They can support you when you're on your way It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you Changing your ways, more than any man can do Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel You had to be so strong And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all We're gonna break it down We're gonna shake it down, shake it all around No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day It's your day, a woman's day You had to be so strong You do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all We're gonna break it down We're gonna shake it down, shake it all around
His earlier stuff with Genesis is incredible check out Lamb lies down on Broadway or Carpet Crawl(1999 recording).I know what I like(in your wardrobe) is pretty good also.
This whole concert is amazing, I for one would watch you react to every song from the concert lol...But one of my personal favourites is San Jacinto, it's a very emotional song about how the heritage of the Native Americans has been lost in modern America... Peter Gabriel was a great supporter or Amnesty International and became the ambassador for Amnesty International. A lot of his songs have very emotional and tragic back stories. Biko is another song that makes me cry, its about Steven Biko a Black South African who was murdered by the police during the apartheid era.. if you could review either of these songs from this concert I would be very honoured and happy,, much love from Wales UK x
Oh gosh, you came back to Gabriel ^_^ Oh you discovered peter ... he is a genius that ppl never could even recognize.. check out his 7/4 time signatures... his music is like no other... check out 'games without frontiers' or ' on solsbury hill' this man even made his own vid game back in the day of abstract puzzles to find the lost chords and remake the song of life to save a universe... Gabriel thinks in music.. he is not like us, and he is brilliant. ♥ please explore him.. 'Games without frontiers'.. this is all before he became the genius behind a band you might have heard of called 'Genesis' .....
I’m not a big Peter Gabriel fan, but I’ve seen this live show and it’s incredible, and this was my favorite song they did. If you ever get the chance to watch the entire show, do it!
One of my biggest regrets is not seeing Peter Gabriel the last time he was in Seattle (like 15 years ago or more). The tickets were hella expensive and sold out instantaneously. He's a legendary musician and I love how much thought and fun he brought to his performances.
Peter was always good. You might want to play Pete’s song “Biko”. It was one of best political songs. The song Is about Steven Biko, who along with Nelson Mandela, brought. Freedom to South Africa. He was assassinated.
I've watched you react to two songs so far. I watched you cry to the Cranberries, Zombie and now glow to my favorite artist Peter Gabriel's Shaking the Tree. You are a wonderful person. I am recommending other Peter songs. In Your Eyes, Mercy Street, Biko and you may like Sky Blue....all live versions. Enjoy, you have a great personality. Keep expanding your horizons
Secret World Tour was the bomb. My friend worked on his Sledge Hammer album. Paula Cole was not well known and broke out after this tour. 😍 🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
Oh, India...you should watch this entire concert..The Secret World Tour. It is a Masterpiece. Peter Gabriel is a Musical Genius. I watch it at least once a week, but then I am a Peter Gabriel addict!😏
Also "Come Talk To Me", "San Jacinto", "Kiss That Frog", "Washing Of The Water", and "Digging In The Dirt". I have SWL on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. I saw the show live in Rochester, NY.
Shaking the tree; means to make a drastic change. The song is about women around the world realizing they are no longer subservient....They don't need to be like their mothers; "It's a new day, A woman's day"
Another vote for "In Your Eyes"! This whole concert was like a religious experience 🥰
I saw this show in Oakland Ca. Fantastic. Especially liked the opening Come Talk to Me.and Steam. Damn the whole thing was spectacular. Pater Gabriel put in one hell of a show.
#Facts 🤯
For sure! I saw this tour in Chicago. It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been too!
It is a religious experience.
actually the athens concert of in your eyes set the bar!!!
Tony Levin is hands down one of the best bass players.
Amen, sister! You perfectly described the meaning of this song. You should watch this entire concert, “Secret World.” It’s a masterpiece.
India, You'll love his "In Your Eyes" "Solsbury Hill"
Hi,
this song was written about the condition of women (especially in Africa), where the male is dominant. this song calls for a certain revolt on the part of women. The tree represents the male organ, erected ... that we come to destabilize (change traditions, put women at the same level as men).
The first words are from the Wolof language of Senegal.
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
It means:
If we knew, if you knew
Original song sung in duet with Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour.
March 8th is United Nations International Women's Day. Peter Gabriel is a vocal supporter of human rights and Amnesty International.
thank you Franck
I never knew what that meant, nor the significance of the tree.
Nice one, thanks for that.
This concert is incredible from start to end. The opening song, "Come talk to me" is really impressive.
I saw this concert in Philadephia, Pa, Awesome
Ti's a firm favourite ❤
The female vocalist is Paula Cole, who had a few hits back in the 90's. She has an amazing voice.
I'd like to see India react to "Me" from Paula Cole.
...or "Tigerlily"
Gotta do "In Your Eyes" From the Secret World concert!
Paula Cole can saaaaaang...I wish there was a recording of her on this where you could hear her better. This is an incredible tribute to Women. Happy International Women's Day/Month everyone!
Peter is having FUN. He is a spiritual guy and supports humanity in everything he does. Gabriel and Paul Simon were big in promoting African rhythms and World Beat Music. Shake that tree. Make the changes needed. Take your power.
Paula kills it on this tour, she is amazing.
Please, listen to In Your Eyes, by Peter Gabriel, live also!!!
All of peter Gabriel solo music stinks and especially in your eyes.
read the words to this song. It's my daughter's favorite Peter Gabriel song. It's very inspiring especially for women as the song says, "It's a woman's day". You don't have to do what your mother has done. You don't have to rely on anybody in order to succeed because It's your day, a woman's day !!! Your parents will support you when you're on your way

This is my favourite song in the Secret World concert, I love that Gabriel recognizes the women in his audience should be strong and happy in all that they do. Look at everyone on stage smiling!
I always got a calm, mystical, wondering vibe when listening to this song. I like all of Peter Gabriel's music, but this one especially.
Everyone on that stage is having a ball!
"Biko" by Peter Gabriel is another you should hear.
Nice vocals by Paula Cole too
"Don't Give Up" from this concert is fantastic.
This is my favourite version. I play it for my daughter all the time. I grew up listening to Peter Gabriel and Genesis, also Kate Bush qnd many others..now my daughter will ❤. Thanks for doing this one!
In aaddition to "In Your Eyes," the opener "Come Talk to Me" on the treadmill was amazing. Saw this live in Maryland's Capitol Centre.
Agreed. I paid big money for 4th row tickets and it was worth it. Still remains the best show I've seen.
Man I would have loved to see that concert!
Secret World is incredible in this concert.
This whole show is glorious, just look at the fun they're having performing this fantastic music. I've been to quite a few PG gigs and I always came away feeling that humanity has a chance.
Absolutely, one of the greatest 🙌 world class music at the highest level
Secret World Tour is his best tour! I LOVE PG!
I think Security is probably his best album but Us is my favorite. You’re 💯 correct - this was the best tour.
I saw the "Secret World" Tour in Rochester, NY. I have SWL on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray.
Ha! You found Peter! Enjoy the ride! He’s got a rich and deep catalog.

Live versions have so much power, it can be like being hit in the heart by a hammer of love.
Tony Levin doubles the coolness factor of any group of people just by walking into the room.
His concerts are like church!
I've been to dozens of gigs from Floyd, The Who and The Stones to The Eagles and Bob Marley and Cliff Richard But PG's were unique they felt like a bunch of mates getting together and jamming brilliant
Peter Gabriel has one of the smoothest voices in rock. Thanks for live performance videos, much more fun to watch.
There's not a bad song/performance in this concert!! Kiss That Frog is my vote - cuz I know most will vote for the more well known songs!😇
Paula Cole voice of an Angel 🙂
Peter Gabriel is an active senior member of Amenity International. He does more than just donate money. He is always fighting for civil rights around the world.
Beautiful song AND message. Power!
India you can watch this whole show on TH-cam you will love the whole show !!!!! Secret World great show
Master Peter Gabriel !!!
You have to watch the performance of the song Secret World from this tour of the same name. It’s one of his most beautiful and haunting songs and the live performance is EVERYTHING.
CAUTION: STROBE LIGHTS! May cause seizures!
@@johnbindert7046 yeah, my wife is epileptic she can't go to the live concerts, sigh...
Phenomenal song from Peter. Awesome beat. Celebration spirit. Very positive message.
I’m just in awe. I remember him from the 80’s and thought he was great but had other bands I was into. Can someone tell me when exactly Peter turned into one by of the coolest mf’ers out there? You can’t imagine how much I regret not following him more closely from the early days. Thank you for introducing me to Peter 2.0! I’ve gotta deep dive now.
Peter Gabriel is an amazing Artiste, he was lead singer with Genesis beofore Phil Collins...please..please do "In your eyes" !!!!!
Peter Gabriel is big into World Music. Several songs with African styles.
I got to see him in the round at Madison Sq. Garden. What a great sound and terrific use of the world music sound.
He’s one of the greatest to ever do it.. An artist..
Loved your reaction to this song!! Watching your face as first your expressions were like "what is this... what is this about?" and then watching you ease into it and express joy. Priceless!

I was close to the same area in Calgary. Best show ever. And I've seen many.
the female singer is Paula Cole. She resides in Rockport Mass . check out her song " where have all the cowboys gone"? .
He's saying the family tree would not exist without women. So let's shake the tree for women everywhere for equality!! Their voices must be heard for it's a woman's day! Seen him 3x. Not this tour but before: 'Security tour,' truly amazing then 'growing up' just epic! and lastly with Sting ' rock , paper, scissors ' tour. excellent. Definitely world class stuff.

Every day should be " WOMANS DAY "
I am still very happy that I could see exact this tour live in my Hometown. It was great.
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
You don't have to do what your mother has done
She has done, this is your life, this new life has begun
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
Find your sisters or brothers who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon
We are shakin' the tree
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel
You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
We're gonna break it down
We're gonna shake it down, shake it all around
No no no no no no
No no no no no no
No no no no no no
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
You had to be so strong
You do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
We're gonna break it down
We're gonna shake it down, shake it all around
It's Peter Gay-bree-all :) He's awesome!
Six of the African continents greatest musicians and performers were on this 93 tour and parts of tribal dances and languages in the performances ...
His earlier stuff with Genesis is incredible check out Lamb lies down on Broadway or Carpet Crawl(1999 recording).I know what I like(in your wardrobe) is pretty good also.

I always thought this song would be up your alley. I Grieve by him is amazing. Also, In Your Eyes and Digging in the Dirt.
I'm watching this on Mother's Day!
PG All time master of song! "That Voice Again" is a personal fave
Yep. He was empowering women. His mind is a wonderful place. Mercy Street is another great one.
Thank you, a great reaction!
I’m not a big Peter Gabriel fan, but I’ve seen this live show and it’s incredible, and this was my favorite song they did. If you ever get the chance to watch the entire show, do it!
"Secret World" was the title of the concert, and also a different song from his album Us that was being promoted at the time.
This is part of a great concert film, SECRET WORLD.
Love this song
One of my biggest regrets is not seeing Peter Gabriel the last time he was in Seattle (like 15 years ago or more). The tickets were hella expensive and sold out instantaneously. He's a legendary musician and I love how much thought and fun he brought to his performances.
He’s going to tour later this year I believe
My favorite concert. he whole show is increible. So much good energy.
This song was one of my life's top live show moments at the Montreal Forum, actually one of the best show's ever, wow! Thanks for the memories.
I've met him. He is really very funny!
Shaking the tree = Stirring things up. Breaking with convention.
Great live show ......
And don't forget my fellow frenchman, Monsieur Manu Katché on drums !!
He always empowering women's, I follow him since his start, I'm 60 years, 💜💜💜
One of the best grooves of the 1990s!
Peter was always good. You might want to play Pete’s song “Biko”. It was one of best political songs. The song Is about Steven Biko, who along with Nelson Mandela, brought. Freedom to South Africa. He was assassinated.
India, if yo uhave not seen this entire concert already, please do so. It was simply amazing.
Paula Cole!!!!!!!
Thank you!! New song for me and I loved it!
This is one of my favorites of all time 💜💜💜
All throughout history... there were men, who saw..... and it continues
In Your Eyes
This was about fgm. “You don’t have to do what your mother has done”
I've watched you react to two songs so far. I watched you cry to the Cranberries, Zombie and now glow to my favorite artist Peter Gabriel's Shaking the Tree. You are a wonderful person. I am recommending other Peter songs. In Your Eyes, Mercy Street, Biko and you may like Sky Blue....all live versions. Enjoy, you have a great personality. Keep expanding your horizons
I get from this shaking things up, make changes
And empowering women
"Shaking the Tree" means shaking the traditional ideas to make new.
Secret World Tour was the bomb. My friend worked on his Sledge Hammer album. Paula Cole was not well known and broke out after this tour. 😍 🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny
I saw Pete in Detroit on this tour...
His balance in self the with male/feminine....and his lyrical and music genius!?
I love peter Gabriel, love this song. Did he forget to present the only woman on stage though?
The dream of us Gen Z'ers! ❤❤❤
wonderful one of the best
Peter is all about learning for me
India your new intro is so cute.
This whole concert was great. Check it out sometime. To you won't be sorry.
Oh, India...you should watch this entire concert..The Secret World Tour. It is a Masterpiece. Peter Gabriel is a Musical Genius. I watch it at least once a week, but then I am a Peter Gabriel addict!😏
Come back India. Miss your lovely presence.
That sister is deep.
Please do In Your Eyes and Steam from the same concert, you won't be sorry!
Also "Come Talk To Me", "San Jacinto", "Kiss That Frog", "Washing Of The Water", and "Digging In The Dirt". I have SWL on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. I saw the show live in Rochester, NY.
First for me, and I know his songs, nice x .Edit..you've listenined to Peter grabiel, you know how he goes out there..
Shaking the tree; means to make a drastic change. The song is about women around the world realizing they are no longer subservient....They don't need to be like their mothers; "It's a new day, A woman's day"
India, first off I LOVE your reaction videos! Do yourself a favor and watch the next song on this DVD called Blood Of Eden! Trust me!!
Paula Cole.. She has some good stuff of her own, out there..
I need to get this album
