Peter Gabriel - I have the touch

Peter Gabriel song "I Have The Touch" and the video is from the movie THX-1138. This was edited back in 1990.

[@LauraMüller-b7s]

Gabriel is still current, with his texts and his music, it doesn't matter which time.. he is so important for the future of music

[@Grell82]

the pitch is slightly high on this version. I think its probably the BEST version of this song because of it- just works!

[@sartoris9439]

Who here has actually seen this movie...........great movie and this song just fits it so well.

[@peterbishal690]

Grew up listening to him. This song brings back a lot of memories.

[@tingdzinkochu]

Wow, what a great use of THX 1138

[@therealJohnDawes]

The opening scene always gets me. The robot leading the child. It is so true of modern society with the majority of social workers - 1984 - the children shopping their parents. It reminds me of the evil of Albert fish. Our world is getting better but is it really improving. Like us children will always need love and guidance. Pls god let it happen one day

[@KaytGames]

i forgot how much i love this song!

[@bavarianbarbarian]

It's a pity we haven't got this kind of music today!

[@Jojomusic007]

hell yes it is

[@pdottie212fu]

@@idklol9710 Yes it is. That's why you're here 😉

Instead we have "Billie Eilish" and "Drake" and "Kanye West".

[@kellybee7345]

For everyone on here asking: This particular mix/version was on the 'Shaking The Tree' greatest hits from 1990 or so.

[@Solexin94]

Thank you very much for the iformation :-) however I think that in this youtube video it sounds faster than the remix from 1983, which acorrding to wikipedia was on that album. But maybe theres something I`m missing here, I dont know.

[@zzmarkonykanen7946]

This is not the same version like shaking the tree greatest hits. It's faster or something however this is awesome. Maybe mr. Gabriel have to listen this. Also the bass is somehow bigger in this.

[@michellebarry840]

*1983

[@lennartohras]

It’s similar, but not identical.

[@1111tull]

This movie and song are the definition of art.

[@sulkowskij]

I've been a Simon Phillps fan since the WHO. Levin's bass blows me away. I've seen so many versions, some good and some not so good. Peter Gabriel rocks.

👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️

Its just a crime I only discovered this song last year.

WELCOME TO THE PARTY 😀

[@lylymad]

The song and the video match perfectly. Thanks for posting!

[@jacquelynspencer7297]

I saw it at the theater when I was 11 years old. Made a huge impression. Got some adult to take us in lol!

[@ryanhunter130]

2:30-3:30 is a utterly brilliant climax to the song.

[@bluebassett2]

Wow, what a trip! Good collaboration.

[@pdottie212fu]

This is the best version imo

[@Tod661]

Great video...I will go back to watching "Birdy" now

[@raelraven2]

The movie reminds me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Robert Duval's character is the individual who breaks free from his shackles and ascends out of the cave to discover the world as it actually exists.

[@alternit41]

Great driving drums in this track. What a great corresponding video too!

[@Rhythmwatch]

Simon Phillips ✌️

[@yukimaruzam]

That song went so incredibly perfectly with that movie!! Thanks for posting big time!!

[@ken131]

I love the effect the magnetic tape has on the song. I've only ever known it on CD. It's hard to point out what I like about the sound.

[@lachlank.8270]

Phasing

[@jkeegan154]

I love this version a lot more than the version in The Craft.

[@backtraxmusic]

Brilliant! What an excellent job of matching the movie parts to the song! Excellent job!

[@BubbaZen10]

Taking one thing, and making it into something else. Always cool.

[@mikeshaffer4912]

I never thought of this combination of film and music before. I love both the song and the film. Well done.

[@raelraven2]

Hmm, the video reminds me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave--the struggle to break free from an artificial world of shadows and illusions so that a single individual can be exposed to the light of the real world.

[@boojiboy2289]

raelraven2 I love your mind from nine years ago.

[@ΕίμιστιόλτσΑριστιράςτσΠρουόδκι]

Yeap! Thank You for reminding that allegory! Plato’s Cave inspired also the creators of “the Matrix” film!

[@CynthiaSaathoff]

Using THX 1138 is so appropriate. I really love this choice for one of my fav songs. I really resonates with my MFA class at UTD on the internet. Thank you.

[@simonroberts5882]

Gabriel I love you man!😍

[@Shrykespeare]

Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease... just brilliant. I swear to God, I think I can actually HEAR Peter Gabriel sweating on this song, he's so intense.

[@Yuuchou]

I looked everywhere for this version!!

[@jessicauttinger]

Heart breaking in the best possible way.

[@ripplesr5655]

The next generations rich taste kids still loves u Mr.Gabriel!

[@inachu]

I wish there was a THX Part 2. Would be nice for it to continue off where he stands up viewing the sun.

[@TheKwtrucker]

who ever are those 8 people that dislike this dislike peter gabriel this is good song one of my favorites by him

[@saydmansur]

Great!

[@GreekCommander]

Peter Gabriel rocks!! Great choon.

[@MaxRubenacker]

Excellent work! I've resisted seeing THX-1138 for a long time, but you've inspired me to dig it out of the archives and give it a watch. In a geekly way, I find it ironic that six years after this was done, the song featured in another movie with Robert Duvall (Phenomenon).

[@thewholeeventhorizon]

Did you ever watch it?

[@lachlank.8270]

Chris we will never know, pray for him

[@newageopinions870]

Song always reminds me of, The Craft. Great tune!

Great song to blast while finishing up an 8 ball.

[@AlexFeltcha.k.a.SonicAL]

I LOVE George Lucas' "THX-1138" (1970). Man it's been almost 6 years since I last ever saw that movie. Such a classic. Very inspiring movie. LOVE the plot & cast of the movie. Oh I totally think that Solo Peter Gabriel's "I Have The Touch" (1982) totally blends in with the footage you chose from "THX-1138"! Very fitting! Very trippy, hypnotic & 70s psychedelic looking! It would make a very trippy, hypnotic & spectacular music video for Psychedelic Rock, Space-Themed Rock, New Wave, Synth-Pop, Progressive Rock & Electronic songs! Your video has totally given me some music video inspirations for my Time Machine-Themed Cover band Sonic Impact I'd so LOVE to create someday! 😎😀😉🎧🎤🎹🎸🎵🎶 Please keep this video as it is & on KZbin forever & don't remove it at all. I LOVE it!

[@MaysLilStar]

Finally! I find the original, not the remix version, which everyone else is posting! Nice choice of THX-1138... Chalk up Peter Gabriel with the likes of Queen, who used it as an inspiration for Calling All Girls' video. Awesome video! And yes, it's loud...but it's rock...it's SHOULD be!

[@Albnel]

This mix was on the bside of sledgehammer 12 inch.

[@WinstonGuitar]

clever choice for movie sync. THX1138 was George Lucas' first movie - still in college at the tame, making a big point about the lack of "touch."

[@Jerryox69]

un de ses meilleurs titres !!

He's driving the car in a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) tunnel just before it was put into use for mass transit

[@JRAMBOXL]

I love this vid and how you used the 83 remix for it

[@DjPyro2010]

This version sounds the most 80s of them all

[@alexarolasgarcia1747]

Esta buena canción la compuso PETER GABRIEL y la canto y la publico en el año 1982

[@flathead59]

Donald Pleasence,Robert Duvall,excellence...

[@brettpritchard265]

Feels like the perfect anti COVID restrictions anthem.

[@Tom.Livanos]

I watched 'THX 1138' (1971) by George Lucas last night. I have returned to this video after last seeing it many years ago. The "I need contact" which Peter Gabriel sings in 'I Have The Touch' (1982) is not the contact which exists in the movie. Nevertheless your combining them here somehow works. Your freeze frame at the end... flawless timing. Okay thank-you.

[@chungafrescor]

Muy buena!!!

[@nickelindimer]

@KingOfUm I imagine it's the way the story of Star Wars was told that captures everyone's interest. Having heard what the voice of the actor that actually "fleshed" the role of Darth Vader, and how consideration was given to doing the various scores heard throughout the film on synthesizer [and knowing what synths at the time of production were typically like (See "Moog Modular")], I applaud Lucas' decisions of how to tell the story... For they effected the final image, which is what he wanted.

[@eevee2espionfan2]

This version is on Shaking the Tree...

[@efrayinyisraeil8339]

And originally in the sledgehammer single with dont break this rhythm

[@johnduncan77]

@MaysLilStar Unfortunatly, this is not the original. This is as close to the original as you'll find here. The reason I know this is by the drums. The original version was very tom-tom heavy VS this version which has more snare drum. The drum parts had a very heavy Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" (the signature end part) feel almost to a point where people thought Collins was playing it. Also, the original doesn't have as much keyboard as this version. I still have the vinyl somewhere.

[@unitedstatesofmordor]

Well done! Good job.

[@1LibMrDucks]

Also in "You Only Live Twice" as "Ernst Stavro Blofeld" which was later modeled for Austin Powers' enemy "Dr. Evil".

[@nickelindimer]

@rhino1138 Wrong! It was "American Graffitti", which showcased what life was like for him in his late-teens in early-'60s Modesto, California. Unless you mean his college film... Which he made at MIT in the mid-to-late-'60s. The His first "Big-Screen" was AG, with THX being an elaboration he wished to do on his college film. I don't blame him for that because, well... Given the chance, how many of wish we could go-back & do-over what we did in college?

[@yemahock]

Great work! Re-upload in better quality, please.

[@santimonserrat8318]

Thx

[@Kochiha]

@johnduncan77 The answer comes from the fact that this version has cymbals. Gabriel wanted to emulate the cymbal-less sound from Peter Gabriel 3, so he kept it up on 4. Cymbals would not return to a Peter Gabriel album until So. It creates a very tribal sound. This version is also indeed much more keyboardy. Still, all of that just makes it work better with the video presented.

[@TheJohnny928]

I got THX on DVD...lOL

[@CollectiveVentures1]

@SkyhawkEB that's Donald Pleasance... ya' know the guy from the original Halloween Movies... and one of the greatest character actors of the 60s-80s

[@boojiboy2289]

Okay... who’s the genius that made this video?

[@carleysweirdoworldx]

The chocolate war film brought me here!

[@newphx]

my personal theme. I should carry a beatbox with me playing this as I wander

[@evoTimer]

this song also appeared in the film "The Chocolate War"

Try the movie Phenomenon......full tilt joy

[@homeworld22]

3:24, I'm pretty sure that guy later appeared in Star Wars

[@AlexFeltcha.k.a.SonicAL]

That was the late Donald Pleasance. However, it's funny u mention, the late John Hollis who played Lobot, Lando's Aide in "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) does strike a resemblance to Donald. 😀😉😁

[@Harry_pinfield]

@@AlexFeltcha.k.a.SonicAL even stranger when you realise that this was supposedly lucas's first movie

[@AlexFeltcha.k.a.SonicAL]

@@Harry_pinfield Yes most definitely with u on that. Also before "American Graffiti" as well! 😀😉😁
