The Red Couch - Peter Gabriel

[@robst247]

No artist has played such an important role in my life over more than four decades as this man. He's honest, unpretentious and grounded. His music never fails to move me.

[@philippepages9929]

Strictly the same here. I wouldn't change a word at what you said..

[@seamusin1697]

You took the words right out of my mouth and did so eloquently and with great sincerity. Cheers, my fellow PG fan!

[@0patience4flz]

Thank you. You speak for me as well. Cheers, from U. S. A.

[@hybrid6692]

Absolutely agree , could not have said it better myself

[@Sugarsail1]

great music but totally pretentious

[@simsimma9622]

For about the first five minutes I was thinking "Wow, Peter has become pretty normal in his old age." Then the camera pulled out and revealed he's sitting in a nest in a tree. Ha!!! Love this guy.

[@mistyblueeyes4024]

Haha yeah the nest bit gave me a chuckle 😀

[@richardcrompton6009]

This is like a hilarious nature documentary... And here we see the Gabriel in its natural habitat...

[@mistyblueeyes4024]

Haha!

[@smoovegittar]

@@0patience4flz Well, he is a farmboy...

[@zelly8163]

What's pretty funny.

[@mikedenmark]

Everything about this incredible human being seems nothing but brilliant 🤷 ~ just look at the way he reacts when it starts raining and snowing in the midst of the interview ~ his smile at 3:47 is so heartwarming and sincere ❣️~ it says so much about his natural demeanour, his state of mind & generally what he loves about life, which is the fact that you never know what happens from one moment to the next🤔💁‍♂️

[@SteveM-ly7oy]

I can't think of any other famous person who would take this seriously and still talk properly in the rain. Gold star to you, Peter. I love your music.

[@JAlexander-io8so]

Hes a guaranteed eternal sanctuary man!

[@klaus3579]

@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 It's a quote from "Supper's Ready"... I guess, there are more than 1 million interpretations of "what is means"....

[@charliekane135]

When he smiles he looks like his younger self ❤

[@michaelbillow2544]

Bless his heart. Peter appears at his most genuine and relaxed here.

[@ME-gz8yi]

Yes- I really appreciate his sincerity and candor. He mentioned time-lapse film of plants... there is an awesome documentary called "the secret life of plants" from the 70s I believe but also found on youtube today, for which Stevie Wonder created the soundtrack.

That’s British weather for you. All four seasons in 14 minutes. Love PG.

Those soulful eyes.

[@timdowns7937]

This is brilliant, best interview I’ve ever seen with Peter, personal, very warm. Great 🤗

[@0patience4flz]

Im blown away...again by P. G.

[@smoovegittar]

Agree

[@danieltaillefer3604]

To Peter's question: express love now before you might loose that opportunity. The "Long Now" is full of unpredictable surprises.

[@conchieixerespiquer8880]

You have the mos baeutiful smile, I love you

[@tashatoby2253]

Wow. Everything Peter said. What a beautiful environment he is blessed to live in. Such a humble, thoughtful, creative person. Not only one of my all time favorite musicians with Genesis and solo, but my all time favorite celebrity. Because Peter makes being famous seem so natural. I wish I could meet him one day.

[@MrPinzollo]

What i feel all the times i hear Peter talking is that he could have been a friend of mine. He s the musician i love the most but at the same time i feel if he wasn t a musician and in some way i had the chance to meet him we would have naturally talk a lot together...

[@cleasbymusic]

Never met him, but love his music. "In Your Eyes" I never tire of. Hope he lives many more years, a great person.

[@AR-lv7df]

What an awesome video. Laughing at his facial expression when the hail stones came on really bad. Well done for not abandoning it. I cannot believe so few people have seen it. I would like to tell Peter if he ever reads this that you are a revelation to me. I hugely respect and admire you. and you have the worlds best smile and eyes(after my son's) Good luck always t o you and yours

[@marileneboschofsky1418]

A R I love this man❤️

[@TheDreamingJune]

One of my favourite artists ever. Such an inspiring man with great humility.

[@dinacarr2734]

I would very much like to sit in that nest. In the rain with Peter and have a chat. Humble, honest and fine man.

[@kirkwatson1442]

Mel,miss you,dad❤

[@westrokker]

I know I’m stuck way in the past .... but I still very fondly remember seeing you with Genesis at a small club in Cincinnati in 1973. Mesmerizing opening number of Watcher of the Skies. I’m 66 now and still vividly recall this performance. Thank you...

[@Rocketpalmgrenade]

It doesn't look like they played Cincinnati in 1973 - however they did play the Agora in Columbus and the Allen Theatre in Cleveland that year.

[@westrokker]

@@Rocketpalmgrenade could have possibly been late ‘72 but it’s a fact. They played a club called “Reflections” in Cincinnati near UC campus. I was there. This was a night club so there may be no record of it as if it was a concert venue.

[@kathleenhealey1205]

What an amazing human being!

[@rpraelsporcupine3112]

Lovely interview. He’s always so thoughtful, candid and honest when answering questions! It’s quite amazing to me how he can be able to share his feelings so openly with the world.

[@moxie6829]

this video... is why I love Peter.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

Such a humble human being. Thank you for being you. 😊

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Wow, this man is super dedicated to the interview LOL. I love him so much.

[@rocksunjaxindie]

He is doing this interview in a storm? OMG, so great

[@jondacoromanu5584]

THANKYOU GABRIEL, YOU ARE MY SPECIAL HERO, THANKYOU.

[@stevedotwood]

charming is the word, very down to earth - You have to love Peter Gabriel. Always loved his singing voice, raw and very unique - and here we're witnessing what a fine human being he is. I'm a fan of his music, mostly from Trespass to The Lamb, because it's the music of my generation. The answer for me is: righteous anger/indignation for what is wrong and unfair in the world today. More people should be angry.

[@leylak.5994]

Beautiful minded person. I love you.

[@caramason56]

He is so inspiring 😊

[@marthagogele9044]

I love Peter and the Musik 🎶 great 😄❤

[@Neboviews]

It's wonderful that you're humble, thoughtful and honest Peter. I see all the worldly things you've accomplished and am amazed that a person can go through such a lifetime of success, and yet be so down to earth. Please stay that way man - you're an inspiration! And ten times that on the musical scale too btw. We'll likely never meet, but I will always pray for your protection, contentment and joy. To me, happiness is like those ephemeral surface waters that ebb and flow, while joy is like the deep underground current that feeds and sustains the abundant life above via knowledge of the living One. Be at peace brother.

[@carlodicintio2797]

Grande uomo, grande musicista, compositore, voce incredibile...tutto ciò che io non potrò mai essere, per cui mi piace pensare che Peter abbia in qualche modo realizzato anche i miei sogni, come altri milioni di genesiani e gabrieliani nel mondo.Grazie di esistere!!!

[@ladziaapapruha5618]

Thank you, Peter🙏

[@kentborges5114]

PETER GABRIEL..."What an amazing artist".

[@Phobero]

Wow, they left him out in the rain - and then he was voiceless in Turin in 2014 - LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! [Thanks to the uploader, fascinating video]

[@caramason56]

Brilliant

[@rhythmfield]

As a professional drummer and seeking artist myself, Peter has been an enormous and very positive influence on my life. It’s terrific seeing him in this very personal happy spot, clearly a power spot for him - yet maintaining that good old weird humor he’s had all along (forging ahead with the ‘interview’ through the storm… Continuing the interview unshaken, sitting in a nest…)

[@kathleenwoolever1547]

Dear Peter...I entered the World listening to your vocals (the 70's) as my Father always played Carpet Crawler's...and my hope would be to leave the World someday also hearing your vocals singing the same song ;) Peace, Kat

[@khandrum]

A true artist and compassionate man and a very special person who inspires me and makes me love music even more if that's at all possible haha since I'm a musician who made a living performing all over this globe I was blessed

[@discoduckgandolf]

Such dedication! He really is too good for this world...FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@VR360TV]

Wow! That last answer, really made me think, thank you Peter.

[@patriziabonini7077]

Thank you for all your words, music, studies, ... So simple so clever so refined and poetic..Ciao

[@tomtheeman5861]

Thank you for all the wonderful music you've created over the years. And thank you for the most charming interview I've ever watched. You exhibit a great intelligence while still speaking in a plain and honest fashion. In answer to the question of leaving the world a better place; I have always held that the smallest of acts, such as simple kindness, charity and enthusiasm ripple out into the entire Universe as positive waves that can effect enormous changes for good. Perhaps incalculable and unseen but influencing other people and building trends throughout all experienced reality.

[@rooftopcat1785]

I usually relate a time of season to when an album came out , and where I was at in my life and times, where was i in feb of 1977? waiting for record town to open so I could get the first copy of Peter's first solo album release, still have the price tag inside, the bus fair was 25cents to the mall to get the album. thank you pete. I wont be easy prey, gonna find a way, to make it ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE..

"Here comes the Flood" is my favourite song, ever.

[@Gingerblue66]

[@christimentus4425]

How do we leave the world a better place? We utilize our strengths and passion for the causes we support and somehow try our hardest to make a difference, even if it's in a small way. One small act of kindness can become contagious and produce a productive adventure of sorts! I respect and love your take on life, Peter. You are an integral part of our lives through your music. Thank you for such a candid expression! As usual, your Honesty is refreshing!! Peace. xx

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

[@ME-gz8yi]

@Fine Art Biblio - Awesome interview-thank you for sharing it! To answer Peter's question "how to leave the world a better place than the one you entered?" Great question and I wish I had the definitive answer; however, I might suggest... -Take child-rearing very seriously; -At least occasionally think of people in 3rd world squalor when you turn on a tap; -Be kind/share; -Pray/meditate; -Listen to music; -Look inward occasionally and look within for contentedness; -When someone annoys/offends you, consider what personal hell they live(d) in to treat others badly; -Consider that if one is confronted with conflict/war that though we may be used as instruments of our leaders, as the great Karl Jaspers said we are ultimately responsible for our own actions and thus guilty of crimes committed at our own hands. I know... easier said than done, right?!

[@MrMarcolondonuk]

[@DarkeningSkies1]

Who created the universe ? I recommend reading the Silmarillion by Tolkien, I think you will quite like it. According to that story, the earth was created in a song, sung by the Valar (the gods). That's why we hear music everywhere on earth, in the water, in the wind ...

"How do you leave behind a better world than you entered?" For myself, it is to do the will of my Father in Heaven, and that wraps up both what I leave behind and the eternal life I will enter.
