[@bartsalemink5729]

Our youngest son had a rough start in life and had to spend 5 days in nicu before he got strong enough to go home with us and his twin brother. During those days, we were all still in the hospital and as I knew his feeding schedule I went to check every time I could, or feed him myself. Day and night. Every day, every night. On the morning rounds of the last day, I was told he was good to go if I was confident about getting him fed sufficiently. I bursted in tears of joy like a kid. We got him checked out and I was allowed to roll him over to the newborns department where my wife and the twin brother were waiting for me to get back. I opened the door and said 'honey grab your things, I've come to take you home' while I rolled in our youngest behind me. Good phrase so I thought. So, after all the paperwork was done and we got in the car, this song just so happened to come on the radio. Kids are almost 2 years old now and perfectly healthy, but the song still gets me goosebumps and a tear in my eye.

For sure. He is something very special. Unfortunately some of his multi-media work is not only hard to come by, but alto technical difficult to explorer or a modern computer. But then there is montages likes this that are just amazing in subtlety, but on the same time holds lots of depth. Also, it is clear Peter Gabriel has something about things spinning from stages, to biking on a spinning stage to also being inside a giant ball.

In the late 1970s Peter Gabriel performed in Stockholm on the stage of the Gröna Lund amusement park. I had just bought his first record and liked it very much. The gig was fantastic but later on when I went to my work at the Grand Hotel Stockholm where I worked in Room Service I got an order and it turned out it was PG´s room so I actually could thank him in person for the show. He had his spouse and small children with him and was very down to earth and nice to talk to. I cherish this memory when I see this video and you can see how he and the band enjoyes performing still. What an artist and person he is.

[@doctortjm199]

To me, this is the most perfect song ever written. It doesn't feel or sound dated. It's still as fresh and timely as when it was written. Tony Levin is such a joy to watch, he turns everything he is involved in pure gold. He and Peter obviously enjoy playing together, The way the work off each other. Thank you Peter, Tony and everyone in the band and anyone involved with the video. Very well done!

@@Virgovixen10 Pardon my intrusion, but I do believe you MAY be feeling that way again now? You sound exactly like me back then, looking foward to "feeling that way again" in the very near future again, bouncing around the after-school empty living room carpeted with some discarded pieces we found by the sides of the road. We felt like kings and the carpet was MAGICAL and we were just FLYING through all space and all eternity ... grooving to the beat of Mr. Gabriel's genius. We did not know enough to be afraid of jack. Not during the bouncing off the wall sessions. We flew up out of the night time of our Day Time with that great EAGLE taking us up up into our highest Aspirations!!!!!!! Trust me. Virgo Vixen, you WILL get your wish and FEEL THAT WAY again. Over and over and over. In your far far away future. And future is always far far away. Now is always eternal.

As mentioned this song was all about leaving Genesis ..."I felt part of the machinery" etc.. Also, the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album, although recorded by Genesis was almost entirely written by PG and this caused some friction within the band.

Peter Gabriel is a genius. As much for its creativity (songwriter, singer, showman) in the original Genesis (co-founder) as for its brilliant evolution in his own solo career between technology, world music, experimental sound, classic music but always with beautiful rock melodies. Peter Gabriel was educated in a musical English family (College of Charterhouse) and could learning piano, flute, percussions, mime and dance. But his major asset will forever remain his charismatic voice. Now, we're looking forward to the new Peter Gabriel's album.

This one of the most joyous pieces of music I’ve ever had the privilege to hear

[@tomthomassony8607]

I had the privilege of hearing it the first time it was played on Radio One in 1977. Stills sounds as fresh . Does that make me feel ancient? Yes!!

[@chicken2jail545]

This makes me happy to be alive.

[@andreabohm2793]

It is and still will be THE song I love most of Peter. You know, when you hear a song the first time ever and it catches you immediately...and the only thing you want to know is what's the name of the song and who did it! That's exactly this song for me - for at least 30 years! Thank you Peter Gabriel for this piece of art!

[@kevinluis468]

I love this song, Peter Gabriel is definitely one of Britain’s greatest songwriters

[@Adam-oy4ix]

The guy has an amazing voice and as an 80's kid, I loved his music.

[@deanfinnie4701]

One of the best songs ever written and it still stops me in my tracks all these years later. Also a genius bit of editing to put this together.

[@djangiebaby]

happy birthday peter hope your friends & family were good to you .. this song i loved & couldn't stop singing it .. Fantastic song just like sledgehammer & many more 💝

[@rankoutsiderproductions6006]

This song was about the time he left Genesis and went solo and is an inspiration to anyone who sets out on a new path in life, whether that's in work,business, family or just in life. It's full of joy and energy and like others here I never tire of listening to it. I was at the O2 for the last performance featured here - a great night. Thank you Peter Gabriel!

[@tracywiggins8715]

Interesting fact about PG is that he was inspired to go solo by Bruce Springsteen

[@jodi183]

It’s a song for the South African political prisoner Steve Biko who was murdered by the South African government in 1977.

[@rankoutsiderproductions6006]

@@jodi183 Not so. The song you are referring to is titled simply "Biko".

[@jodi183]

⁠yes you are correct. I was commenting on the track Biko. Somehow it brought me here.

[@degorovi]

God Bless You Peter Gabriel.

[@vussymagz]

Its been over 10 years since my late father passed but every time I play Peter Gabriel for my mother its as if hes in the room. Thanks Peter 📣❤️

[@michaelmintchev6010]

Never heard this song before, but man am I moved by it and the video! Really touching, kept getting goosebumps all over. One I won't forget!

[@mrshariandavidian9129]

I need this song every day... music, poetry, beauty, magic

[@stephenrendell9046]

One of the most uplifting songs of all time

[@GonzoInside]

The line: "Son, grab your things I'm gonna take you home" is so amazing, it goes right into my script.

[@inesaltemeier1099]

Es gibt kein Lied, das so Klasse ist. Alles passt, er wohnt ja um die Ecke. Ich ziehe mein Hut. Klasse 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊

[@Kennedy4OurCountry]

Peter Gabriel! Thank you for your example! Thank you for making music! Thank you for...This SONG!

[@andrewbarton8525]

Im 55 in ten days. In the last 45 year's ive constantly come back to this song. Its the song of my life past and my life to come. its personal and I don't want to explain any more. You will know if you have been there. Love to those that have. X

[@rosiebottom3870]

Me too. I'm 59 this year and never tire of this song.

[@llcooljane846]

Im 53 pal,30 of these years have been spent on heroin.i hope you are well and life is good.this song just means so much on so many levels to me.

[@bmwloco]

Shortly after my mother's passing, I bought a ticket to see Peter Gabriel in concert in Atlanta. I had a 4th row ticket (and found no one in front of me) It basically took me out of my funk and made me realize that there was a life worth living. This is the 40th anniversary of Salisbury Hill. Kudos sir.

Dean Klein good luck,hope you're doing well.

[@pattygale3359]

Yes, hope you're doing well too.... Beautiful. Music is so healing. I am a not a son, I am a daughter but, when I was 19 (1979), my father turned to me and said those exact words, "Grab your things I've come to take you home". No other words have ever brought me such comfort. Today, I still hear his words whenever I am unsure or scared. xo

[@qlli12]

Undestood, Dean, I hope all the best for You. In the age of 55 I see this also some kind of retrospective of our lives; the Song remains the same, but step is getting shorter than almost 40 years ago. Also less hair but more mass...

[@Xtiansldrs]

*Solsbury Hill...I’m pretty sure Salisbury is a type of beef steak? 🤔

[@kathyluchok2698]

Peter was perfection and at his most gorgeous in his 1996 Secret World Tour.

[@kathrynphillips84]

I’m obsessed with this video.

[@mortishanocturnal71]

Some musicians just tell a story...nailed it♡

[@spindillio]

The lost art of songwriting. Pure genius!!

[@pigman20]

I want this played at my wake.

[@manofweed1]

He's one of the very few that sounds as good live, as he does in a very carefully produced recording.
