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.
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.
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.
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.
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...)
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
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.
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,
Absolutnie najcudowniejsze wykonanie tego genialnego utworu. Napisałem to jak jakiś recenzent emocji nad którymi nie panuję- łzy toczą się po policzku Peter.
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
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.
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 ;)
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!
Voll auf L.S.D hab des gesehen 7 Leut wahr ma auf rote herzal des ist su gut kommen des Koncert da Gamma 3 Tag durchgemacht auf de schönste Ueit des warm die Mitte Ende 80j.

Gorgeously written!
All glory to God for giving us this

Incrivelmente perfeito, performático, expressivo, intenso é uma obra de arte!
I was there 3 nights ... perfect
I was there!!!!
That has to be the best song. Of all time. How enchanting and perfect.
One masterpiece of Peter Gabriel. This concert IS just Amazing !! It s genius !! 👍☀️
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...
It makes me cry whenever I listen to or wach it. That´s art for me.

Better than studio version, this isn´t uncommon with Gabriel ...
