C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Peter Gabriel
"Biko" from the Melt album.
Thanks to dojco for the lyrics below the fold:
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
When I try and sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
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
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now
First.
Yippie.
Salisbury Hill one of my top ten favorite songs of all time.
Love Gabriel!
[Deleted. Music thread-Sitemonitor]
Peter really nailed it with this one, and the rest of this album (his third untitled record) is fabulous as well.
what would Death Cheney think of it? would he rationalize another government's illegal & brutal torture in the name of The State?

Supposedly, Gabriel went home and wrote it after seeing Bruce's second show at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1975.

Ya know GonzoD, spell check changed my spelling to Salisbury? I swear, technology hates me.
Strawberry @ 11:
Salisbury is a town about 20 minutes from where I live.
Doubtlessly and faultlessly human in his vocals. Few people I've heard can attain the same sort of universality. When he reaches high notes it feels like he's decrying the crime at hand.
Sorry ... I was a senior in high school when "Sledgehammer" came out. It got played 3 trillion times in 12 days on MTV. Ever since then, I just can't take Peter Gabriel.
I would like to dedicate this song to the dreamy Dana Perino ...

I'd like to dedicate this song to Dick Cheney and his secretary George W. Bush ... because I'd like to take them Up on the Roof. Then I'd like to ... oh never mind.

Dedicate it to Reagan (who took the solar panels off of the roof)?
I'd like to dedicate this song to Pat Buchanan and Lou Dobbs:

It is indeed dead in here ... I think everyone is huddled around their TV's awaiting breaking news of Paris Hilton's release. In the meantime, check out my comment 24 in the open thread ... not music, but a must see in my book.

Peter Gabriel is one of my top three favorite song writers because of his command of language and emotional tone
And just for the record. I don't like this new comment format.
from JT to Ry C to some guy in his living room playing "Crossroads" on the dobro.
It's a little rough, but thouroughly enjoyable - so enjoy:

33, there are things about it that I like, and there are things about it that I don't like.
Stanley,
I like having several windows open while so I can read and monitor what going in the comments. This just makes my windows a litle funkier. Is that a word? And a more complicated visual. But the refresh is better that haloscan. Anyway, you strike me as someone who appreciates PG. Am I wrong? Doesn't anyone here Love Gabriel the way I do? Come on the third album has Family Snapshot! How much more appropriate can you get for our current nightmare?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_R7_J61T00&mode=related&search=
Cheers all!
Gawd what an awful typist I am/be
36, my favorite Genesis era was right after PG left the band (Trick Of The Tail, Duke), so I can't say that I appreciate PG as much as others do.)
"Peace, is a word we teach
Here, for us all to reach" - Yes ('Homeworld')
Lasty,
Or nextly, I saw PG in 2002 for the Up tour, I was somewhat disappointed with the bands performance but not PG's. I have so many wonderful and awful memories growing up listening to his music starting with Genesis and still evolving. I hope he continues to create. Here are my other two in my top three.

Maybe just my opinion but, They move me.
"Mercy Street" is dedicated to poet Anne Sexton and takes its title from her 1969 play, Mercy Street. Considering the lyrics and subject matter, it is all the more haunting.

Well well now that's what I'm talkin' about
There is nothing on earth that strikes my heart like the lyrics to this song. I have loved Peter Gabriel forever and ever and it started with this song after I saw "Say Anything" with John Cusack when I was in eighth grade and my god, who can forget the ghetto blaster scene outside Ione Skye's window? I was way too young then to really get how deep the lyrics are but I have just loved this song in all forms forever since then. This isn't the best version of this particular pairing but it's the one I found on you tube. The one I have on a CD compilation is absolutely amazing.

"I Grieve" by Peter Gabriel

I love this song. Thanky spanky.
Anybody care about the lyrics and the story behind this song? The thought that Biko's assassins are still unpunished is revolting!
I saw Peter Gabriel in Vancouver. Favorite concert ever. I love this guy's music (although I agree I could live without hearing Sledgehammer for another decade or so).
When I was doing my MBA, there was scarcely a day where I didn't hear the song 'Big Time' in my head and laugh quietly to myself. My classmates probably wondered what the hell I was smiling about. Little did they know.
I love everything Peter Gabriel's done, but this song gives me chills every time. Truly a great artist's tribute to a great man.
One of my favorite Gabriel songs. Great choice!
Wow John, thanks for picking this! I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was barely a teenage. Very deep and still one of my favorites. This is definitely one of those songs that could change you. Leaving Genesis was the best thing that ever happen to Peter Gabriel. It wasn't such a shabby thing for Phil Collins either :-)
One of the best books I've read!!! If you haven't read it get a copy today! Biko by Donald Woods, who was a friend of Biko's.
I alway prefered Petey of Phil anyday.
Didn't he do a song called Spank the Monkey?
Love, love Peter Gabriel. Most of the videos I'd link have been covered... ;-)

sphinx @ 43:
seriously. PG has come up with some really good stuff over the years
anything other than the poprock c®@p that we're now showered with.
I play this song whenever I need courage.
Thanks John
