Afro Celt Sound System - When You're Falling (feat. Peter Gabriel) [Official Video]

Purchase/stream 'Further In Time': smarturl.it/RW96
'When You're Falling' is taken from the Afro Celt Sound System album Volume 3: Further In Time.
Originally, Iarla Ó Lionáird intended to sing the song, but as it took shape it seemed more suited to a vocalists whose cross-cultural connections are well documented:
"Peter Gabriel has been a great mentor and role model for me," says Iarla. "Years ago I remember travelling in Ireland listening to his music, wondering if I'd ever get to meet people like him. I have been honoured to work with him in the past, but part of the magic of 'When You're Falling' was that we didn't meet- he just took the song and put his own turn on it."

Legend says he's still falling through space to this day

This is my 9/11 song... Played it on high rotation 20 years ago.. very sad memories attached to this song.

[@sofianobili2264]

Love the voice of Gabriel, just love him!!!!

[@Kahrytes]

I just wish this gorgeous video had resolution higher than what can play on a potato, i loved this video when I was a kid

[@RaveSharrma]

This was the time when many good songs were released...a new day has come (Celina Dion), here i am (Bryan Adams), every other time (LFO), Fly Away from here (Aerosmith), Look at us (Sarina Paris), Bop Bop Baby (Westlife) etc..as a 12 year old used to listen to these on TV on channel V and MTV here in India... both these channels are long gone .... these songs are still in my playlist though... Brings back memories of early 2000s...no smartphones and internet was yet to become popular! Life was simple back then!! A lot has changed in just 2 decades.

[@JenniferJ-o2y]

I just LOVE Peter Gabriel!!! He sings with such true emotions!!

My favorite music video of all time! This is coming from the world’s biggest Peter Gabriel fan.

[@dawndavies7707]

Love Afro Celt Sound System. Love Peter Gabriel. Love this song. This video is the most terrifying video I’ve ever seen.

[@remka3650]

Can not get enough this band. ;)

[@felipevillagran3708]

I hope you have heard it in Pure Moods 4.

[@donsterr]

No wonder why I liked this so much when I heard the ending. Peter Gabriel is the goat. I need more music that sounds like it's a feel good 80s 90s movie

[@pattivandorst]

Definitely my happy dance song!!! Who could be sad with this on?!

[@rawedgeman01]

First time I've heard this. It's excellent and Peter's voice is magnificent!

[@sheldon288]

❤ found this gem back in my life❤ after days of searching 😊 so happy as it brings back all the memories from 2001. Golden days back then. I believe only very few lucky people know this song exists?? 😅 Cheers

[@eewwdonttouchit]

Such a great song and disc! Love these guys.. Much respect... they had this video in the can and ready to release it and 9-11 happened.. And because of what happened at the twin towers.. The refused to release the video at that time out of respect for those that fell....Much respect to ACSS

[@AlexaCBrown]

💝💌 Searched, and found this again...Love💌💝

[@orangebean325]

In the summer of 2001 I got a new car (an ‘88 Olds, new to me). I remember driving it home for the first time and this tune came on the radio. A new car AND a new Peter Gabriel song?! Could things get any better? Then September came around and that was that.

[@BigBlueBalla725]

Lol, what an awesome music video. Man jumps out of plane and falls alllll the way to the ground, then falls through the ground and plummets towards the core of the planet where he pervades some sort of subterranean orgy and blasts his way back through the other side of the planet and into the air where he is downsideup flying into space and beyond. I love it. Didn't know Peter had a Pilot license lol. Mr. Ryan Seeing Peter Oct 6th at the Hollwood Bowl! Can't wait!!!

[@manhuman5893]

I remember listening to this song in early 2000, during my school days, i totally forgot about it and somehow i searched for it for along time and found it, dont know why i did that😶

[@TonboIV]

Yeah, I saw this video 20 years ago, and for the last few months I've been trying to find it. A few minutes ago "afro celt sound system" just popped up in my head. It's bizarre that I somehow held onto that.

SO, SO GOOD!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@EverythingsConnected.]

Every day, you crawl into the night A fallen angel, with your wings set alight When you hit the ground Everything turns to blue I can't get through the smoke That's surrounding you 'Cause when you're falling I can't tell which way is down And when you're screaming Somehow I don't hear a sound And when you're seeing things Then your feet don't touch the ground 'Cause when you're falling I can't tell which way is down I can see through the clouds I can walk right through the walls Hang me off the ceiling But I can't take the fall Should I cross the river When I may get swept away Out there on the water You can still see me wave 'Cause when you're falling I can't tell which way is down When you're falling I can't tell which way is down I can see all those things My feet don't touch the ground 'Cause when you're falling I can't tell which way is down And when you're screaming Somehow I don't hear a sound And when you're seeing things Then your feet don't touch the ground 'Cause when you're falling Somehow I can't hear a sound Somehow I don't hear a sound falling

It's unfortunate that this sound was out around the time of 9/11/01 so it didn't get much radio play at all

[@DavidTimberDKT]

When this came out it was the Summer 2001. Then 9/11 happened and it was marginalized because the video was awkwardly reminiscent of the event. Bad break for the Afro Celt Sound System.

Childhood song

[@castironchaos]

Ever since I first heard this song, I've had an idea of doing a video for it that would be completely different: a scene of kids playing at a playground on jungle gym and swings and a trampoline, entirely in slow motion. There would be close-ups of the kids' smiling, laughing faces as they swing and bounce up and down. That's it. It's the type of video you might see in a musical interlude in Sesame Street.

[@Kat-I-am3333]

do it 😉

[@simonodell3089]

This track is used to accompany some great skydiving footage on the film "Adrenaline Rush"

I think the city, as viewed from the air in the birds eye view is Boston. I wonder the connection?

[@marcanglin7127]

It's New York City, and the man falls past one of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. As this song and album were released in 2001, the video was pulled from rotation after the terror attacks of 9/11.

[@dangordon2132]

@@marcanglin7127 Its not New York and the building he falls past is not one of the Twin Towers.

[@marcanglin7127]

@@dangordon2132 Ummm, sorry, but it is. It is why the video was pulled; this is easily verified as Peter has told the story of it.

[@dangordon2132]

Umm sorry but you're wrong. Because of 9/11 it was pulled, but that's as much of the story as you got right. Look at the video again. It's clearly NOT the WTC. The design of the building's face is completely wrong.

[@ThirdEngr]

Neither of you correctly read my post. I said the birds eye view, that means top down looking at the ground. Not the skyline view. But if you look at @1:47 - that is not New York City.

I believe THIS song may be responsible for all the awful ukulele music found in so many commercials. Think about it. KZbin videos, bank commercials, fast food commercials.... all have a non threatening happy slappy ukulele. hair song is good, bit the generic ukulele needs to stop.
