- Shaking The Tree featuring Youssou N'Dour.
Available on the album 'Shaking the Tree - 16 Golden Greats'
petergabriel.co...
Released in 1990, Shaking The Tree was a career-spanning overview of Peter’s solo years from that first self-titled album of 1977 up to the 1989 Passion soundtrack with a few curiosities and rarities to grab the ear of the completist. The compilation’s title track, a playful duet between Peter and Senegalese superstar Youssou N’Dour, hadn’t previously appeared on a Gabriel album, just on Youssou’s The Lion album. Here it reappears, albeit it with a new vocal from Peter. Here Comes The Flood, originally from that 1977 debut, is also revisited, this time in a deeply effective (and affecting) piano-and-voice treatment.
Lyrics
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 want 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
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
[ 1989 version - Find your Brothers and sisters ]
[ 1990 version - Find your sisters and 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
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
[ extra lyrics from 1989 12" remix ]
There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lost
There's nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
Make the decision that you can be who you can be
You can be
Tasting the fruit come to the Liberty Tree
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day
[ end of extra lyrics from 12" remix ]
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 to break it down
We have to shake it down
Shake it all around
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree

Peter Gabriel my favourite artist ever. Embraces the world.
African voices are the most beautiful voices on the planet and blend perfectly with his own voice.
All voices are beautiful, c'mon.
He’s my favorite artist,too.
@@mrsvm6221 Peter Gabriel Shaking The Tree is one of my favorite song! Happy New Year's Eve!!!!!
@@miguelbranquinho7235 not all of them, dip 💩
My mum adores him xx
This song is so powerful, it should be known and appreciated worldwide ❤🔥🌎
@Alexis DouFlo I agree with you
I couldn't agree more!
I was at the concert from Youssou N’Dour yesterday and he sang this song for us women. I love his voice!
NEVER WE WILL HAVE A ANOTHER BEST SINGER LIKE YOUSSOU MAY ALLAH GIVE YOU A LONG LIFE . WE RE PROUD OF YOU
So many good versions of this song.
The original is perfect; this is epic & the jungle version takes me back to the 90s watching “jungle2jungle”.
Peter Gabriel is the g.o.a.t. 👏🏻
I wanna say Happy early 72nd Birthday to Peter Gabriel! Peter Gabriel we are Shaking The Tree!
Also listen to Bakermat and Gold Fish.
His music is a message for those with eyes to see n ears to hear ❤️🔥
♫ It's your day - a woman's day ♫ - Anthem of Women's Day - Thank you Mr. Gabriel & Mr. N'Dour
I have never heard this version before. It's amazing!
Enjoy
What a powerful, uplifting song. Thank GOD for good music. Much love to all of you
@SupahDupahPlayahMackNumbah1 Peter Gabriel Shaking The Tree is one of my favorite song! Happy New Year's Eve!
@@brandonmoore7497 Happy New Years Eve to you as well!
Beautiful!
I looooooooooooooove this mix. If the official version was rhythmic as hell, this is just on ANOTHER level.
So much Peter Gabriel back catalog I've yet to discover. I love this one.
TBD
+Michael Harren Once you listen to all his major stuff go listen to the "Miss" CD of the Hit & Miss album, then the Ultra Rare Traxx albums (3) tone of interesting stuff on those
Vrotdogi Pronin's Home of Suicide and Depression I'll do it today!
Le grand you la star planétaire le poète
And quite a few versions of this song!
always a pleasure to see Peter Gabriel performances, I am just over 50 now, I started listening his music since I was 12 or 13....almost my entire life.....by far one of my favorite musicians...not only a fantastic artist but also with a tremendous social consciousness
Totally agree!
There is so much I love about this video. To start Peter Gabriel. Second Youssou N’Dour. Third, the beat is infectious and makes you want to dance. Witch leads to the dancing. I love that PG went for it and immortalize in a music video. I can’t dance so I appreciate his joyful dancing along side Youssou. The scenery reminds me of when I was a kid I dreamed I would live in a place as beautiful as where they are. Lastly, PG and the whole thing gives me a “weekend at Bernie’s” vibe that makes me truly happy. I used to watch those movies as a kid. PG, you are amazing and I love being a part of your fandom. It’s fun finding other people as enthusiastic about you and your music as I am.
A masterpiece from Peter Gabriel, based on Senegal folklore. Great performing of Yousuf Ndour
It's not folklore... It's Very Real...
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!
God bless his voice low and high
Peter Gabriel x Youssou Ndour
Happy Belated International Women's Day!!!!We Are Shaking The Tree!!!!
God bless his voice low and high
Peter Gabriel x Youssou Ndour
"woman you carry it in your heart.... woman let your new life start! xxxx
When music is a celebration, it can sound like this.
It doesn't mean that all has been achieved, we can go somewhere from here.
I loved this when it dropped and still love this! Timeless
I always played this one as loud as possible while driving. Just a really great song… Also another great tune with the complex stylings of Tony Levin.
Peter gabriel is great An innovator and started the group genesis when was highschool Who gives 2 cents about his dancing
This In reaction to the statement by "pay attention". If like you dancing so much watch a new edition video- this is the great peter Gabriel!!!!👍😎
I Love THE original☺️
EVERY DAY SHOULD BE A WOMANS DAY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
YES!
PG insists on the beautiful aspects of Africa. So good.
Peters pure happiness and devotion to the cause and the power of the meaning in this video makes me really happy and giggly! its always great to see him do well in the world of others less fortunate :D you go Peter!
Peter gabriel doesn't compromise on his music videos great artist of note.
Been discovering a bunch of Peter's songs recently that I haven't heard in the past and so far he hasn't ceased to amaze me. Just keep discovering an incredible song after another (well, no one has written only masterpieces but he has so many songs that just blow you away and fill you with life).
Enjoy
Also listen to Bakermat and Goldfish.
Very nicely said!
The tree of life... Simply beautiful... Woman...
Yes
I really love this song
Quel beau continent le baobab le soleil l'océan Atlantique le lion roi de la forêt les belles femmes aux couleurs d'ébène. Qu'Allah unifie nos cœurs
love Peter's smile
youssou Ndour a connu une ouverture international grace a Peter Gabriel
surtout ibrahima sylla de syll'art mais aussi il a beaucoup travaillé
Its my one and only - favorite - Mother's Day song! I love you in this version, smiling and having fun :) Thanks Peter for writing it!

" You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong
Nothing wrong at all
We're gonna to break it down
We have to shake it down

¡Hola Mujer blanca y obiamente sobrealimentada " You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong
Nothing wrong at all

Spectacular...Don’t understand a single word, but it leaves me spiritually inspired. The “pure” product of a “true” artist.

So beautiful and hopeful!

Feel so happy to listen this song. Thanks a lot you and peter
Me. I love it. Peter is all about the human condition. Go women. He writes anthems; nothing less. Genius. Not to detract from Phil Collins but this is the genius of Genesis. He always was the one who shook the tree lyrically
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!
Love, love this song. I’m just getting acquainted with the artistry of Peter Gabriel.

Blinding track! Love the euphoric build near the end. My favourite artist of the moment!
If you are feeling down or fed-up. Play this to a good bareable volume on your hifi, if this does lift you up, your hifi is not loud enough. What a happy feeling song this gives out. Especially when the sun is out.
Thanks Peter💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Youssou N'Dour.. voice ! love yu.

Muy buen tema, excelente como siempre, congratulations..!!!
N'Dour appeared on "Parts Unknown" with Anthony Bourdain a few years back. His voice has lost NONE of its range or power. Pretty sure he's immortal.

Genius, Both of them
