Peter Gabriel - Playing For Time (Bright-Side Mix)

[@sethflix]

I love all of the deep feeling Peter Gabriel puts into every word he sings. Whenever I hear a song like this from him it's like we're connected by our souls and at one with our Creator and all Creation. Thank you so very much for this and for all you do and are, my brother, Peter!

[@Chatatonic]

It is like this. Although my taste now differs, every time I listen to Peter, he fetches me right at the bottom of my heart.

[@scottjones4778]

Just got my tickets for the Dallas so stink and excited at aint funny.... Been a big fan for decades... I love you Peter Gabriel..

[@johnlancaster-mq2gv]

I forgot just how much I like to listen to Peter Gabriel. I remember all those old school songs of his they still can get to me. Such a powerful voice and he is very Spiritual happy too.😮🎉

[@bonnia277]

Scott Jones, The best concert I’ve been to was Pater Gabriel’s. It was amazing every song was a story played out on stage. Make me happy just thinking about it. Of course it’s been over 30 years and we all are older. Enjoy! You are in for a treat.

[@klauskaufmann5745]

Erschütternd

[@Knwuce83wry]

This is his finest hour. Almost impossibly so. One of the great albums of the new century.

[@OurFamilyInMotion]

It is no stretch to say this is one of the best songs of Peter's career.

[@marklar9156]

I would appreciate it more if there haven't ever been 'Here comes the flood'.

[@isaiahsmithproductions9866]

This may be a bit soon, but this may be one of the best songs he's ever released. I especially love this mix

[@eCoArise]

easily best of the new songs so far and YES this rates with the best of PG all time. And this mix! I just listened with headphones and my eyes closed, it's evocative and powerful from first note to the last vibrations of the piano strings. Brilliant!

[@inxe8]

Agreed. This is Peter at his absolute best. Incredible that he's not lost a step over all the years, a true generational talent.

[@Versul1]

He's got way too many great songs to start putting a rating on them.

[@user-nl6dg7nf5g]

I saw him live the other night & commented to a friend that… I/O may end up arguably being his best work yet. This song & Love Can Heal especially are just tear jerking masterpieces. I love Pete so much.

[@lmm1447]

it feels hopeful...in a way

[@marksharp8391]

Still got it. Sheer genius!

[@ramonaludwig6390]

How I love Peter! All the music he produces is genius. Insightful and beautiful.

[@carstenblanck7934]

There it is again: minutes of goosebumps. Peters voice, the words and the wonderful music. when everything falls into place....

[@arttheclown1163]

This is proof that a pure heart that sings isn't playing for time. It's immortal.

[@cfbassman1956]

That first solo show - 1977 - just a few years ago ... no wait -> 46 years. Now - we await the September 14th Boston show. We have loved your music so very much, Peter Gabriel. Thank you.

[@davidgriffiths1982]

Gets better and better every TIME.. I hear it.. Exciting summer ahead for us all. ❤

Playing for Time (Bright-Side Mix) Lyrics Far, far away Out amongst the stars There’s a planet spinning slowly We call it ours Any time, any day Any moment that we bring to life Will never fade away Oh, oh the moments come and go While the memories ebb and flow Play again, play again Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb Climb toward the mist of time It’s all in here what we’ve been through Down, I’m getting it down Sorting it out So everything I care about Is held in here All of those I love inside Everybody’s playing for time You and I still playing for time Thеre goes the sun Back from whеre it came The young move to the centre The mom and dad, the frame Any space, any time Any moment that we bring to life Ridiculous, sublime Oh, oh the moments come and go While the memories ebb and flow Play again, play again Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb Climb toward these mists of time It’s all in here what we’ve been through Down, getting it down Sorting it out So everything I care about Is held in here All of those I love inside Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh The future shines a sunny day Unpacked memories stored away All the while, the clock keeps ticking You and I still playing for time One by one the voices silenced For they know that time will tell It’s time that wears the crown And time that rings the bell All cards on the table All hands are down Everybody’s playing for time Everyone’s still playing for time Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock Hidden in the mountain, in the body of the rock No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock They’re all too busy playing for time Everybody’s playing for time You and I still playing for time -Peter Gabriel ( i/o 2023)

[@panlan1]

thanks, just what i was looking 4..;

[@chennellproductions6538]

Climb through all these mists of time

[@davidboyd7478]

I do wonder if the reference to the “…clock, hidden in the mountain…” around the 5:20 mark, is a reference to the Clock of the Long Now. (Since Brian Eno’s name is attached to the clock’s Foundation, I suppose it’s hardly a wonder.)

[@danverdier1900]

Many thanks, very kind of you, I greatly appreciate 👍

[@hectoralfredoramirez3684]

Nuestra existencia, la canción más real de Gabriel escrita jamás …..🙏

[@alexjuhel-er2mu]

On est transporté par votre musique, par votre travail, par votre humanité... merci...

[@c.a.savage5689]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. As I listened, and even before reading what Peter Gabriel had to say "about time, mortality and memories", I could hear a bit of Randy Newman.

[@ajr3605]

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes he's a blend of Phil and randy

[@KWalshMusic]

Me too (r: Randy Newman)! Yet he is still uniquely Peter.

[@cal-native]

Ditto - it has that same sort of ambience and wistful, reflective viewpoint😊

[@ghimo4111]

Merci M. Gabriel pour votre talent, votre conviction, votre longévité, votre universalité. Voici ce qu'un Monstre Sacré de la Musique démontre: celle-ci n'est pas un jeu pour enfants mal mouchés!

[@mathiasburdorf593]

Lovely- greatest singer-songwriter ever- Peter your fans with you wherever you go and hanging on your lips whatever you perform with your wonderful musicians around you! Thx

[@giovannicaramia4020]

Immenso , supremo , perfetto, fantastico. Un 'altra dimensione...

[@PAL-r4u]

47 ans que je suis cet artiste..J'ai pu voir l'ensemble de ces tournées mondiales. I/0 est et sera magique. Je serais à Bordeaux pour voir celui qui m'accompagne depuis toute ces années.

[@Just_Here_For_The_Comments]

Oh my god... just... so beautiful. I've not felt feelings like this in such a long time. Thank you, Peter. Thank you.

[@Villagejonesy]

I said it before, and I'll say it again: this song is a masterpiece. The music is natural, heartfelt, real, dynamic, and moving; and the lyrics are so beautiful. I can't wait to see him play this live. Way to go, Mr. Gabriel!

[@TheMichaela69]

The best musician ever, ever, ever. Can't wait to see him in munich

[@ricogarion]

Loving Peter Gabriel is so easy!

[@moxie6829]

Peter is a different kind of soul singer. Blessings.

[@cachosantillan1100]

La voz de Peter Gabriel es maravillosa no me canso de escuchar , gracias por la música y dejarnos disfrutar , desde Argentina mis saludos gran Peter Gabriel !!!! Salve salve rocanroll!!!!

[@lemanumanu236]

le début du morceau avec la reprise de la marche funèbre de Chopin annonce pourquoi on aime l'Archange Gabriel !! Quelle voix, toujours, et quel profondeur de sentiments! Love you Peter from my 15 years!! 🥰🥰

[@TwichRetro]

Voice, musicality, technology, originality make him unique together with D. Bowie... they are unique in everything.. Long life for everything...😍😶‍🌫

[@johncarpentier4880]

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT ❤❤❤❤❤, I'M FAN SINCE 1979,,,,,,,,HERE COMES THE FLOOD,,,,, SHOC THE MONKEY,, ALL YOUR RECORDS,,,,, I'VE SEEN YOU SEVERAL TIMES IN CONCERTS,, THANKS PETER, john, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DaveBath]

Lovely. One of the best from Peter's discography, full stop, in my opinion. In some ways this reminds me of "Here Comes The Flood". Have to admit I'd love to hear a cover of this by Tom Waits.

[@walterjcollins2056]

I've always had my Peter Gabriel favorites and now this one goes on that long list. Soulful sound and lyrics.

[@user-nl6dg7nf5g]

I heard this one for the first time in Pittsburgh on Saturday. I could not stop crying. I’ve not cried like that in some time. I so appreciate this man.

[@JMM5729]

La meilleure chanson de Mr Peter Gabriel à ce jour ? En fait la prochaine sera, comme à chaque fois, encore mieux ! Un talent inégalable et inégalé , depuis tout ce temps que cela dure, inutile de s'attarder à le comprendre, on l'écoute religieusement... Merci tout simplement,et au bonheur de vous réécouter encore et encore... 😀😀😀😀😀

[@Tangerine00]

Love ❤love this butifull song .Thanks mr.Gabriel😊

[@kokomanation]

Love this man in my opinion a musical genius .

[@bruceboyers761]

This particular mix REALLY makes this song, which is already spectacular.

[@martybarraud1069]

Absolutely Amazing!!!Peter Gabriel at his Absolute Best 👌

[@owenmcgheeandbdawg]

So moving. ❤️I am literally sobbing, this sums up a lot of what I am unable to say. Peter Gabriel, Thank You for Being ♥️

[@dennoow]

Same buddy

[@luciferal]

I'm left overwhelmed by emotion in the wake of hearing this new song. I've had a lifetime of listening to pg and lucky enough to have witnessed him perform live a few times, that was long ago which seems like another lifetime, and here we are with i/o about to drop, with best friends having passed on since who are no longer with us to appreciate this new music. I am so grateful to be alive and well, three years after the global pandemic, and it seems to me this new album is yet another gift brought to us on the tides of time. Cheers to peter gabriel, long may you yet live and continue to shine ~;^\~

[@gerris38]

totally agree , thank you well said 💙

[@DonnaKovar-w4x]

There are no words to express the beauty of this song!!

[@klauskaufmann5745]

Plötzlich, das Glück, geschenkt von Peter Gabriel

[@ronnyskaar3737]

This is up there among San Jacinto and Mercy street.

[@danielgaulin9244]

Sublime ❤❤❤❤ L ange Gabriel a encore frappé un grand coup Vivement la tournée et des émotions puissantes

[@aqeelhaidershakeelakhtarkh8476]

Love you Peter Gabriel 💕💜💕💜

[@MalcolmPaulBroyard05]

Absolutely lovely💜🎵Thank you Mr. Gabriel.

[@giorgioalbertazzi3538]

the simplicity with which he uses the seven notes to touch our hearts and souls disorients me every time I hear one of his songs..and thank god there are many!!!

[@Latexhandske]

I get tears in my eyes ❤

[@derekhall7727]

Fantastic song, saw him at the O2 last week (June 2023) - how does he do it - Peter Gabriel gets better and better. Very brave for an established artist to perform 11 new songs from a 22 song set list - but that is what sets him apart from almost every live act these days - expect the unexpected -Wonderful !

[@KS-us9cb]

Thank you Peter Gabriel

[@gbarbosar]

Over the years, these songs have been making myself a better human. So close to my feelings and the people arround. Se agradece querido Peter

[@kentborges5114]

ALWAYS TOP SHELF BRILLIANCE FROM MR. GABRIEL !

[@maurorastelli8790]

Stupendo

[@carlacasale1224]

Meravigliosa, grazie ❤

[@g-town_chris]

...this song is able to make eyes dripping! A timeless masterpiece - poignant...

[@johnsmith866]

Absolutely brilliant. Such a reflection on life and the passing of time ticking in our heads.

[@werweiss6118]

Peter was and is still one of the greatest !

[@KS-us9cb]

The sun sets and rises. The hill of life is in our heart. As we travel through life... My gosh it can be so hard. My life has been so hurtful..both physically and emotionally. Ok, so here I know that the grief can empower us. Yes, the hurt /grief sits there. Peter Gabriel is a Musical Genius 🎼 🎶. I sit at my piano 🎹 a lot...feel the safest there. Am hurting, just need to push harder in life and step forward.

[@neilhinks5734]

Genius...does genius. That voice hits so hard..and then he writes lyrics that go through your soul.... reminiscent of The Lamia, in delivery, which brings tears to my eyes tbh... totally blown away ppl. Absolute masterpiece.❤❤❤ June can't come quick enough for me and my wife 🎤🎤🎤🫶♥️

[@XavierBaumaxa-official]

...an instant classic, Mr. Gabriel 🎩

[@KWalshMusic]

Damn, there I go tearing up again...

[@strangetalkwithdoc3141]

such a gift to touch other human being's souls and to do it for decades you did not waste your gift, my friend

[@mattychapati]

Beautiful as always. The best voice in the business. Pleasure and a honour to walk this earth the same time as a star such as you Peter 🌟 🍃 🌍

[@richardllewellyn2633]

This is just beautiful on every level about life time and family the line with ridiculous sublime which switches the meaning is genius. Thank you for this PG.

[@erikbirk1509]

wie geil ist das denn, das beruehrt wirklich ...

[@liberpettis9228]

I think that his next Long Play will be one of his best ones! The songs revealed until now are really touching and moving. Great lyrics and excellent arrangements! Peter is alive and kicking! Hope he comes to Argentina next year! For me, in my 50s, it´s a real influence as a human being and musician!

[@sabinejordan3110]

All I can say is WOW!!! I am so excited for this new album. Been a huge fan of PG since the fly on the windshield and have loved all of PGs music since early Genesis days. Can't wait for the CD to come out, and can't wait to to go the concert! Thank you for all the amazing music. Probably my most favorite artist of all time.

[@stevejohnson7818]

the honesty and purity of both your words and your lyrics are inspiring. Myself being an artist visually, you have been an influence in my life for over 45 years now . I sincerely thank you for that!

[@cbnkp]

Wow!

[@OmarGamaleri]

Maravilloso como siempre desde aquella flor que parecia una cabeza con la cara de Peter a hoy quizas sin flor pero con todo el sentimiento intacto x lols siglos de los siglos

[@stevelabrecque]

My fav mix of this hauntingly beautiful track!

[@lyudmilyanakiev9636]

Thank you.

[@mountainmolerat]

Just beautiful.

[@jbalsamo9013]

Peter, you were born with a real gift.

[@nadiasimmons5403]

Heartfelt lyrics from the brilliant Peter Gabriel! 🌻💛

[@juliegower3120]

My favourite so far from I/O beautiful. Can’t wait for the vinyl.

[@johnnicholson8345]

PG has been the soundtrack of my life now for the last 48 yrs. This album is a perfect progression in his musical journey and mine.

[@user-nl6dg7nf5g]

I love this comment. I told a friend that Peter has been with me since I was 6. His voice has always been a part of my life. And I am so happy it still is. The man is just great.

[@stuartgross462]

lol

[@gd6349]

Wow !!! Peter is the most talented musician around !!! The words in this song are just absolutely thought provoking , it just takes your mind and your memory on a sentimental and beautiful musical journey !! Just Wow!!! Well done Sir Peter 👍👏👏👏❤️

[@RealJeffTidwell]

Probably my favorite I/O track yet

[@atpkompressor]

Fantastic! geniuses were at work again. absolute goosebumps, thank you thank you!!! can't decide if i like this one or the dark mix better... thanks PG for releasing both!!!

[@KWalshMusic]

Goosebumps!

[@nieckolai]

This is so lovely. Love all the new stuff I have heard.

[@deanperez9426]

Perfect 🥰

[@charliGONTIER]

attention ! à l'écoute au casque, des petits bruits des feutrines des touches du piano où du pédalier ! ( çà passe dans les micros) ! j'adore ce titre ! il est génial !

[@peterdellos8824]

Just beautiful, encompassing, lush, whole, and such a universal message. So grateful to hear this new music. Vocals sound terrific!

[@noreenessenberg5853]

Absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been a fan of solo Peter since I first saw him circa 1979. Prior to that, I loved him since The Lamb. See you in April! 🖤

[@marianosalomon5361]

El tiempo pasa...y esta VOZ lo acompaña...Gracias P G

[@MarieMonteux]

Freaking I need this, Peter Gabriel and I thank you so much for your help and talent. My cat, miss Moneypenny is probably dying and I'm going through some stuff since Rob died. Bless you, Peter Gabriel and I hope everyone is doing well 😘 Waving hi from Maine 😘💓😃

[@daveinfridley3971]

Damn fine song!! Can't wait to see you in St. Paul in October.

[@davidmd6180]

What a miracle Pete !!!! I hear this today and it's so deeply beautiful & so emotionnaly strong ! This is a master piece ! Thanks a lot ! The miracle is for me in the way it sounds like your classic era and I am so touched by this. Thanks for your album. I was a little tired of the slow tunes ratio of your later albums though I like and respect all of these ones but this tune Oh ! Dear ! It's just perfect. SOme of your other songs will push me tu buy your CD because you deserve it ! Peter your voice missed me ! Good production too ! You and your crew Take care ! 😃

[@pepperonihead]

Please come to Hawaii! You will never want to leave and we are STARVING for good music!

[@cassnate6259]

This was a highlight from his tour. Love that he's still not afraid to explore new material!

[@rogeriopedroso129]

Sublime

[@garybramilevo]

Respect.

[@Carlos_gomariZ]

The Dark-Side Mix sounds more confortable for me. The dry+wet reverb on Peter laments vs the only wet track here, is emotionally superior. The rythmic final section is dinamically more interesting and detailed in the Dark-Mix too. Thank you for both.

[@starlitedelite1]

Beautiful!! Encore, encore, encore!

[@elisabriz]

Listen to this masterpiece gives me chills, so much feelings and pictures. Like a walk of life ❤ and tears running down. Love it ❤

[@pablodlc9859]

[@SirneMalavasi-md3rh]

Sempre fantastico

[@annemincey]

thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and your music

[@jennifercutter8863]

His vocals have not declined either he still has great tone

[@markoszouganelis5755]

...and it's, hey baby, with your guardian eyes so blue, hey my baby, don'ts you know our love is true! Hey Peter Gabriel, I couldn't ever imagine that one day I could write to you! You can not imagine (or maybe you can), what the "Genesis" meant to me! I play my drums to "Panopticom" as a backing track. Thank you very much! Now with the Artificial Intelligence getting so high, we can build that communication interface to the animals. (And probably to the plants too!) But maybe music can do it too! Thank you Genesis! Thank you Peter Gabriel! You always gonna be my guardian angel!

[@angelicaaguilar713]

Lovely as always, thank you Peter! Abrazos desde México.

[@christopherdavies3079]

I’m loving this song more and more each time I hear it . Great vocals and orchestration .
