Peter Gabriel

[ThomasMum]

Any fans of him out there? Or am I all alone?

I love his work, his voice...

Book Of Love (from the movie Shall We Dance) is my favourite...

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
......


Lovely innit! :)

I have issues with him only because I think of Pete Gabriel then I think of Genesis and then I think of Phil Collins :eek:

I don't know very much of his world music stuff (if he is still doing that). I had Salisbury Hill (can't remember album name) and 'So' back when they were long playing records.

and I have to admit it, a few Genesis albums as well......

I hardly admit to it myself, what can I say, I was young, foolish.....

[stormanet]

not a fan myself but hubby adores him and plays his music way too often for me :)

[ThomasMum]

Oh I love the Red Rain....
I am standing up at the water’s edge in my dream

Hooray I'm not all alone! Forget about Genesis....Peter Gabriel is Peter Gabriel :)

My fave is Salisbury Hill, also is DH's fave - so we have no argument when we're listening to Pete (of course Jethro Tull is another issue - I can only take so much ...)

Cheers

Does he sing "In your Eyes"? The song from the movie Say Anything where John Cusack holds up the tape machine.

If yes, I love love love him and I will be buying for myself for Xmas.
