Peter Gabriel - Biko (Song Around The World / Playing For Change)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- “You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire. Once the flames begin to catch, the wind will blow it higher.”
The video was originally created for The Peace Through Music: A Global Event for Social Justice which took place in December 2020, and was hosted on the Playing for Change social media channels. The event was part of the activities to commemorate the United Nations 75th anniversary, and championed the full protection and promotion of human rights for all.
This stand alone video launched in honor of Black History Month in February 2021. The song was inspired by the death of anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko while in police custody, and the song’s relevance still holds true with the unfortunate police brutality that continues to take place in the USA, Nigeria and many places around the world. More than 25 musicians from seven countries join Gabriel for this global rendition to share a message of unity, peace, and hope, including Beninese vocalist and activist Angélique Kidjo, Silkroad’s Yo-Yo Ma, and bass legend Meshell Ndegeocello.
Produced by Sebastian Robertson and Mark Johnson

It will be to the shame of the world if the name Stephen Biko is ever forgotten. He is a symbol for those who are persecuted and killed for 'political crimes', for those who believe the world can be a better place. Today in 2023 these atrocities are still being committed around the world, it must stop.
Over the years, I’ve simply come to terms with the reality that if Peter Gabriel is involved in something, it’s going to be absolutely awesome. Awesomeness is literally all the guy does.
I've been considering him as a spirit who is on earth to share some Light... Sorry, I'm french, I don't know how to write my feeling about that in a correct way with my limited english... ^__^, In France, I suppose some spiritual people could use "guerrier de Lumière", warrior of Light... That's how I consider him... His songs, his melting of cultures in them, his simple messages of love and share... I deeply respect this artist, this man,, this soul... ^__^
@@cedriclouche1058 I couldn’t have said it better myself and English is my native tongue.
true fucking dat!!!
@@cedriclouche1058 Beautifully expressed. My feelings exactlly. Tre Bien mon ami.
@@cedriclouche1058 lllkkkooooooo oooooolkopp.olllll
Biko was a hero, he died... I saw Birdy many years ago... Peter Gabriel is a person aheath of his time...
I am playing this song while crying because Navalny was murdered in prison. I experienced the death of hope when Soviet tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia in 1968. I then got on my Vespa scooter, drove myself to the Russian embassy in Oslo where 30? people had gathered. The rock I threw over the fence made it 1/3 of the way to the building. We must all do what we can to make the world a better place.
Please Peter Gabriel keep tending to making our world better by your powerful music helping to promote freedom in this world we live in. .
PS Woodstock, NY loves you!
At 71 Peter Gabriel sounds as good as he ever did.
RIP Steve Biko, passed by the hands of the police, September 1977 in a South African police cell. The year I was born ❤️ Peter Gabriel put it beautifully 💕 He was a beacon of hope for Black South African people ❤️❤️
Steve Biko's saying, about causes, rings so true today in the American political spectrum. Too many Rep's have given up their soul for a dying idea, The Rump.
The skin of dignity have only one colour alive...BLACK. Thanks so much Mr. Gabriel. (from Jujuy,Argentina.)
One world ,one people! Enough of division! Enough of hate! We all need eachother !
Indeed!!
Impossible with corporate and political greed. But yes absolutely agree and we need to lead by example. Some will follow. Others will get swallowed.
@@RonTimmonsM1 well said sir ! Our world needs all of us ! It is a collective ! It is a we! Blessings and healthy regards
@@RonTimmonsM1 there's a time when the world would wake up and stick together and may it a better place because we r one and we r many for one God until than let's hope so
Governments divide people.... we are as one
Wenn mir alles auf die Eier geht, höre ich mir Peter an. Dann geht,s mir wieder gut. Danke Peter
I named my yellow lab "Biko" she was a sweetheart and showed unconditional love just like Stephen Biko.
And the eyes of the world are watching now ...
watching now ...
What a fantastic (but still sad) version
'The Sheer Magnanimous Beauty of Humanity and Culture', More beautiful than most other things on this Earth.....The Beauty of Community and People.....Is Braught to 'Life' in Peter Gabriel and their Music like it is God's breathe to air or Water...bringing back life to a Barren place.Humanity's sometimes dis compassion is the barren place: but these people are the 'Life'. (I love this record because it says how I felt growing up in a 'Hippy Eco Community in Scotland!!!..I Was Free and so happily social...that I did. not need much of Any Other Material thing...but to 'be there'. !!! Miss BOO!@
Einfach geil. War damals in Berlin als Peter Gabriel in der Eishalle Jaffeestraße sang. Ich höre es heute noch.
En 85 Peter Gabriel était jeune et je l'étais encore plus. Ce morceau marquait la fin de son concert et marquait nos esprits par sa force et son message. Quel plaisir de retrouver ce titre avec l'influence qu'il laisse au monde.
The kids are so sweet dancing in the background. Yo Yo Ma was shredding it.
Chapeau bas, Mister Gabriel...
There's one universal language: MUSIC. It can be a very powerful thing!
So true. One common language
And it's so beautiful language which ignites hearts!
It's the only universal language because it comes from the heart and the soul of its creator; something all people possess and can understand.
"God respects me when I work, but he loves me when I sing," = Tagore
@@nexstory such a beautiful words of Great Rabindranaat! Greetings from Russia!👍👏🏵️
It made me cry. There’s no way for me to express how much Peter means to me, as an artist and as a human being.
Goosebumps and teardrops!
Thank you Peter for all these years trying to make the world a better place!
Thank you and all the musicians for this tune of Biko🙏
Agreed! ❤ One Love ❤ One People ❤
Me too!! Our world gets starker everyday, we need people who shine their lights!!😢
🌈🌈🌈🤗
What 98 people didn’t LOVE this???
This song gets better with age. Better yet when Peter involves so many people. This celebration of Stephen Biko is wondrous and should be continued throughout the years.

WUNDERBARE MUSIK. .GENIAL !!!
When I find myself wondering too many things, I watch this video.
This song has been so powerful in so many ways for so many years. This performance brings another level, a global level of importance to the song and the story of Stephen Biko and helps us to remember that injustice and to recognize others when they arise.
Aàa
Let Us. The people of The World Unite!!! In Love, Compassion and Kindness!!! Forever For Each other! Cxo
In a time of isolation, fear and uncertainty, Peter reminds us of the power of music to unite the world.
I'm a fan of Song Around the World, I'm a fan of Peter Gabriel and BIKO is one of my favorite songs. But this performance tops everything I've heard so far. It makes me cry and goosebumps all over my body. Damn...so amazing...awesome.
I’m astounded it was him that captured my heart, body, mind he was the beginning for me to get into more than just loud guitar, my friend Mick Taylor from High Cross Hertfordshire who later worked for forestry commission and was involved with the project music in the forest (something like that) well he used to have a fantastic plastic collection by the early seventies amongst this was Genesis which I become hooked on especially Peter! Well then mick went an married Sally from Stevenage before they left for Cornwall (honeymoon) we went to see Genesis Rainbow Finsbury Park oct 1973 That’s what saved my life I was going through a whole lot of bad stuff mainly drugs and drinking . Never got to see Mick after accidentally bumped into him 1976 sadly he die about five,six years ago but I will all ways have my memories especially listening to Genesis or Genesis revisited, Nad Sylvan might not be Peter but the boy doesn’t do a bad job, don’t stand there with your fixed execution casting doubt on all I have to say, why’d don’t you
Well, I'm actually crying. Please, tell me I'm not the only one.
You're not the only one...
I cry every single time I watch this video
Peter's voice is something else.
You are not the only one.
No, you aren't the only one, tu n'es pas le seul à pleurer...
I did not think you could make this song more powerful and more relevant. Wow, was I wrong. This is why Peter is still my favourite artist.
Yeah man... Isn't it ?!
The genius of the crafty Peter Gabriel, oh how the years have melted down. I seen PG in 87 Tower Theatre Upper Darby PA. The show opened with Robert Palmer. Stay positive, live in desired peace.
Awesome comment 2 years ago just days after the attempted killing of djt45 butler pa. PeterGabriel, wordsmith and musical Icon. ~~~ luv em'.
Yeah I definately have had an obsession with Pete since 80s saw him 17 times ❤️
Just very good teste!
3 here. I envy you.
Just one here, don't know why, because it was one of the best Live-Experiences I've had. Looking forward to the next one!
I've been a fan ever since discovering Genesis in the early 70's. I've had the good fortune of seeing him countless times over the years and I can honestly state that I have never seen him put on a bad show. They have all been incredibly creative full-on aural & visual experiences from start to finish. Whenever he has performed this song live, the entire audience always ends up standing, singing and chanting in unison, with many members in tears. It is such a unifying experience which really demonstrates the power of this beautiful, moving song , and music in general.
"You can blow out a candle, but you can not blow out a fire....". Thank you all. May Love be with you. Always.
I would not have thought it possible to make this piece even more impactful than it was originally, but this new release with so many different, yet completely complimentary, musicians had me quite emotional. Thank you all for lending your immeasurable talents to this project and thank you Mr. Gabriel for continuing to be an artistic conscience for the world.
This man is legend. Surrounded by greatness
I had not seen this until now…so intensely moving, and I thought the Amnesty International performance was…with PFC’s work, I am at a loss for words. Thank you so much to everyone involved who made this happen.
Bantu Stephen Biko (18 December 1946 - 12 September 1977) was a South African anti-apartheid activist. Ideologically an African nationalist and African socialist, he was at the forefront of a grassroots anti-apartheid campaign known as the Black Consciousness Movement during the late 1960s and 1970s.
Haven’t heard this song in a few years. What a rendition! If this doesn’t move you and make you realize we are all connected you may be dead. Thanks Peter!!
Amen!
He grows on ya. Always great stuff, just listen..
I’m not generally one to cry, but I did for this…
Story behind music is were you will find his really Glory, a fantastic remix serves him well, Amen
There is a wheel of history. And it crushes as usual all those who resist it. It will crush and destroy all stupid racists in the first place. And such outstanding people as Biko and Mandela, humanity will remember forever. Peter Gabriel immortalized their memory.
Peter Gabrial, ein Mensch, mit seiner Musik erinnert. Gut, dass er es getan hat und immer noch macht.... Menschen werden so schnell vergessen, viel zu schnell, leider....
The inclusion of strings and other instruments all over the world is phenomenal and their blending is organic. Truly shows that the song's message is universal.
Thank you Peter!
Amen!

Never forget Stephen Biko! And never forget Peter Gabriel! Amazing performance of this song! Thanx to every last musician involved!
Hi there, I was just going through a post on a page then your profile caught my attention and you seem worth talking to so I could not pass by without saying hi and ask how you doing. Do you mind us talking and getting to know each other better, I will love to be in your circle of friends
I am old, bold, weary and cynical, but Peter still touches me with his music!
One of the very few songs that can honestly claim to have changed the world. Still powerful all these years later.
Einer der besten Sound (Songs)die je Peter Gabriel gesungen hat ,alle Achtung der Friedensbewegung die es leider nicht mehr gibt 😊❤😊❤
This was very emotional for me, for many reasons. Many thanks to Peter Gabriel plus all the singers and musicians who participated in this magnificent global effort. 💙
Öffne dein ne herz
Hand und herz und Hi am Pestalozzi
Wunderschönes Lied nur so Traurig und Du hast Dich immer für die Schwachen eingesetzt. Machen wie Nelsen Mandela und das schon in sehr jungen Jahren. Dafür hab ich und sollten Menschen die Gefühle und Verständnis haben m, allam Respekt der Welt zollen.. du hast dein ganzes Leben der Gerechtigkeit gewidmet, hattest auch deinen Spass andere Völker kennen zu lernen und hast dir alles was Fremd war für deine Musik genutzt, aber die Menschen alles als deine Freunde angekommen. Für mich bist du ein Wundervoller Mensch und du kannst Stolz auf dich sein. Danke für so viele schöne Songs von dir. 💗

One of the greatest songs ever written. More powerful now (if that's possible) than when it was originally recorded. Tears. What else can you say. Thank Narnia artists like Peter Gabriel are here marching alongside us for truth & hope.
The world needs more Peter Gabriel's.
Still a classic after so many years. The great artists who were also great social commentators left a lasting mark.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Mister Peter Gabriel Mustapha Ali from Algiers Algeria
Great Peter Gabriel thanks god to have you
Wow, the moment when Gabriel comes in on verse two up the octave!!! Because when you get older, you get to put your song down an octave. People understand. And then out of nowhere - BLAMM!!!! As if no time has passed. Chills.
Sir Peter Gabriel 🙏🏽
Praises to you and the Fellowship of musicians 🙏🏽

@Peter Gabriel +
No, Thank You, friend, your music has lifted so many. I watched you sing Biko all those years ago and its power has never left me...Peace.
very very nice
If this doesn’t get your tears flowing then something’s wrong. So powerful.
Sad that this song is still needed today
It always will. Humans are capable of such great and awful things all at once
It is a sad testament for the Human Race.
Such a great version of a Peter Gabriel's classic. He still got his amazing voice.
that unmistakable Gabriel voice, still as powerful as always. And what a great human being :)
I've liked this song for almost 50 years now, but this....this is beauty
Across his songs, his rhythms, Peter Gabriel gives a great importance to all the people all over the world for their Human Rights. That's why we're looking forward to his new album.
PETER GABRIEL MY ESTEEM FOR THIS GREAT MESSAGE AND POWERFUL SONG TOO 🔝 THANKS A LOT ✌🙏 ❤
Спаси, Господи! Всех нас! Очень благодарна вам, Питер, за всё❤🤗
Я всё ещё Ваша поклонница Tatiana
Pour l’avoir entendu à Strasbourg au Zenit en 2014 ,grandiose 😍👍👋
uf chaking chills and tears escalofrios y lagrimas .for news generations,2023,chile santiago.
I love this piece. I played this to one of my students to demonstrate how things have changed so much in terms of global cooperation in music for such an important piece. This is a piece that needs to go in music history books.
Ce titre composé d'artistes mondiaux me donne la chair de poule et me fait verser quelques larmes tant c'est magnifique, mélodieux, respectueux, humain.... Thanks for all artists 💚
Magnifique, sublime ,moi aussi je suis émue quand je l'écoute.
For me, it's the ferociousity of Yo-yo Ma. I think of his cello work as usually calm and cool yet his emotions poured out in Biko.
Beautitiful .Merci beaucoup. Pour ce moment de GRÂCE....🎤🎤🎤🎧🎧🌹🌹🌹🎧❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌍🌍🌍🌎🙏🙏
