It will be to the shame of the world if the name Stephen Biko is ever forgotten. He is a symbol for those who are persecuted and killed for 'political crimes', for those who believe the world can be a better place. Today in 2023 these atrocities are still being committed around the world, it must stop.

I've been considering him as a spirit who is on earth to share some Light... Sorry, I'm french, I don't know how to write my feeling about that in a correct way with my limited english... ^__^, In France, I suppose some spiritual people could use "guerrier de Lumière", warrior of Light... That's how I consider him... His songs, his melting of cultures in them, his simple messages of love and share... I deeply respect this artist, this man,, this soul... ^__^

I am playing this song while crying because Navalny was murdered in prison. I experienced the death of hope when Soviet tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia in 1968. I then got on my Vespa scooter, drove myself to the Russian embassy in Oslo where 30? people had gathered. The rock I threw over the fence made it 1/3 of the way to the building. We must all do what we can to make the world a better place. Please Peter Gabriel keep tending to making our world better by your powerful music helping to promote freedom in this world we live in. .

I've been a fan ever since discovering Genesis in the early 70's. I've had the good fortune of seeing him countless times over the years and I can honestly state that I have never seen him put on a bad show. They have all been incredibly creative full-on aural & visual experiences from start to finish. Whenever he has performed this song live, the entire audience always ends up standing, singing and chanting in unison, with many members in tears. It is such a unifying experience which really demonstrates the power of this beautiful, moving song , and music in general.

I’m astounded it was him that captured my heart, body, mind he was the beginning for me to get into more than just loud guitar, my friend Mick Taylor from High Cross Hertfordshire who later worked for forestry commission and was involved with the project music in the forest (something like that) well he used to have a fantastic plastic collection by the early seventies amongst this was Genesis which I become hooked on especially Peter! Well then mick went an married Sally from Stevenage before they left for Cornwall (honeymoon) we went to see Genesis Rainbow Finsbury Park oct 1973 That’s what saved my life I was going through a whole lot of bad stuff mainly drugs and drinking . Never got to see Mick after accidentally bumped into him 1976 sadly he die about five,six years ago but I will all ways have my memories especially listening to Genesis or Genesis revisited, Nad Sylvan might not be Peter but the boy doesn’t do a bad job, don’t stand there with your fixed execution casting doubt on all I have to say, why’d don’t you

Ideologically an African nationalist and African socialist, he was at the forefront of a grassroots anti-apartheid campaign known as the Black Consciousness Movement during the late 1960s and 1970s.
