This is my most ever heard song! There are just no words to describe this masterpiece of music and performance. It touches my heart and soul so damn deep that i can't imagine it for myself. I'm a very big Peter Gabriel Fan and have seen him many times live on stage but this epic one is outstanding and just from another universe.
Memories flood my soul when I hear this song...flying through a horrendous thunder and lightning storm. Listening to this song on my headphones, tears streaming down my cheeks. A kind man next to me touched my hand. He said with an almost angelic smile and tenderness, " It will be ok. Just breathe. Things will get better". I said it wasn't the storm outside. It was in my heart. " I am dreaming of mercy in my Daddy's arms." I was flying to see him as he was dying from Lung Cancer. He is gone now, and the storm still rages in my grieving heart dreaming of mercy in my Daddy's arms again...until he hugs me and welcomes me into heaven someday.
Peter Gabriel is an incredible composer and musician.he's super talented.his songs has healed broken hearts,including giving hope to the hopeless and perhaps who are engulfed in grief and pain.Peter Gabriel is more than human,he's a Philanthropist and human rights activist.though i always get moved by the track Blood of eden,all his songs were well arranged,the lyrics itself is well cooked.there is some sort of genius and passion for excellence in his music.
Still to this day an amazing tribute to Anne Sexton. This song does a beautiful job encapsulating the tragedy that was her life and death. The last two minutes will give anyone the shivers, but *especially* so if you've ever read any of Anne Sexton's confessionals. They are a chilling view into the world of untreated bipolar disorder, a fight she ultimately lost.
26 YEARS AGO... I WAS THERE, AND I'M GREATFUL ! NOT ONLY FOR THE MEMORIES OF MY YOUTH... HE REALLY WAS A GREAT PERFORMER, PROBABLY AT THE BEST PERIOD OF HIS CAREER. HIS TALENT HAD ...."NO MERCY" AT ALL !!! PETER WAS, AND STILL IS, AHEAD OF HIS TIME. HOPE TO SEE HIM AGAIN HERE IN ATHENS (THIS TIME, WITH MY SON ON MY SIDE...)
All the artistry and creativity and interpretation aside, I am astounded at anyone who can sing in a fetal position, or while lying down. That requires amazing breath control and training. And still maintaining the performance at the same time. Wow.
One of the best live performances ever . Together with Talk Talk's live in Athens in the year of 1985 at Rock in Athens which recorded and broadcastes over the Greek Broadcasting Channel ERT are treasures that everyone should watch
Saw this live about 10 times. Love this version although modern circular stage with his daughter in a rowboat is beautiful as well. The peak starts at 4:36. My favorite musician on the planet
Pure Art. His theatrical performance just fits the song and its meaning perfectly. And the last 2 Minutes make me cry almost every time I watch it. He is truly feeling it. Amazing,
Wow! talk about full commitment to redeem one's self faults and mistakes. Looking for mercy in such dramatic fashion to redeem yourself. Gabriel seems to get in a trance of soul searching ever so masterfully performed and delivered to the live audience at hand. What an artistic performance.
Absolutnie najcudowniejsze wykonanie tego genialnego utworu. Napisałem to jak jakiś recenzent emocji nad którymi nie panuję- łzy toczą się po policzku Peter.
La mejor versión de esta canción superando por mucho la versión de estudio. Creo que el concierto de athens de 1987 es una de las mejores performance que se le ha visto nunca
Coincido for U. En el concierto, y claro, en este tema, se destaca la especial puesta de luces de Martin Scorsese, quizás una devolución de favores x el score de "La Úútima tentación de Cristo". Igual, veo la performance de Peter Gabriel, y hoy, me emociona.
Have to listen to this song every day, it's magic... An artist, who gets deep into the lyrics and melody and brings it out with his movement. Thank U SO much for sharing!
Been there - 1987 So tour in Hamburg and Bremen - best 2 concerts ever! Great great memories - what a masterpiece! BTW: Get the DVD now - only 15,99 Euro ;)

I agree. The best mercy street
Gorgeously written!

Never in my life have I seen such an emotional performance. This is perfection and Gabriel's theatrics convey the theme of depression so so well...
Best version!
I was there 3 nights ... perfect
