I love Kate Bush. And I agree she does her usual amazing job on this song. But Gabriel has performed this song live with a few other singers (at least in part because Bush practically never tours). Most do a decent job. But anyone who really loves this song, should definitely check out Paula Cole's performance with Gabriel live. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but if anything I think Cole may do the song even more justice than Bush does. Her timing, with just a hint of swing at just the right moments, and of course her **voice**, are just as amazing as Bush's performance.

This Song has a very special meaning for me. When in 1999 my Mother was hospitalized for treatment of advanced cancer, my older brother (i was 17, he was 22) made a music cassette for her to listen to. And this was the first song on the cassette. She lost her battle but did never "give up" and is not forgotten.

Unfortunately, she too lost her battle, but lives on in my memories -- and this song is part of that piece of my world.

Okay, I'll bite. What makes E-flat such a great key for gospel music? When explaining, please account for my naïveté in understanding keys. To me, the key just shifts the exact same tune up or down the musical register. I don't have perfect pitch, so a given song sounds pretty much the same to me in any key, especially if the keys are close to each other. I mean, I can certainly tell the difference in a full octave change, since the timbre of voices and instruments can change significantly. But why would the key of D or F (for example) not be just as good as E-flat for gospel music?

While "Tony Levin of King Crimson" is technically true, at least in their later forms, it rather understates Tony's reach and influence. In particular, he is the bassist for all of Peter's solo work, in the studio or live. He is also a session artist appearing on more than 500 albums, including Lennon's Double Fantasy, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Paul Simon and many others. He is also one of the founding members of Liquid Tension Experiment. Very imposing figure, and all around nice guy. He probably don't want or need a whole lot more recognition, but he certainly deserves it.

This is one of Peter Gabriel's best vocal performances, for sure. Kate is often tagged as "quirky" and is usually placed into the "art pop" category. But she takes risks at times that often place her closer to people like Laurie Anderson or David Byrne. She and Gabriel make a good team because they have very similar artistic temperaments. She can be an acquired taste, but patience will pay off. That melodic bass instrument is -- wait for it: a bass. 😁

The Us album languished in my collection for about a decade; I listened to it a few times, enjoyed it, and that was about it . But in 2003, my then-wife and I separated (we never reconciled, later divorced); as I'd done before in difficult times I went in search of music to help me cope... and that's when I rediscovered Us, which resonated with me from end to end when I most needed it. Still a favorite. I still sing along with Washing of the Water; every time I hit the line "I'll get those hooks out of me, and I'll take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side" I can barely keep it together.

Never heard of 10cc, Doug?? You’ve astonished me there … thoroughly recommend that you give them a try. Start with “I’m not in love” which should get your harmonic analysis whiskers twitching… ‘Twas the go to anthem of every love-lorn British teenager in the mid 70’s !

This song literally saved my life when I was in college. Going thru women/relationship problems, and had too much to drink, I drove my car as fast as I could down a sharply winding road at reckless speed along a river, daring/trying to miss every curve and plunge into "that river flowing", which ironically I didn't realize until recently was in these lyrics. Well luckily when I reached the end of the road and was determined to try it again even faster, going back the other way, this song came on the radio and brought me back to reality and a calmness just came over me, and I learned to not react so dramatically to things which were out of my control. Unfortunately just recently, be it 30 yrs later, those feelings have resurfaced, and most of the old friend/support group has moved on, and idk if this song will be of as much help this time around.

It´s a great song by two great singers. Kate Bush is AMAZING! I´m surprised you don´t know 10CC Godley & Creme, where were you in the 70´s 80´s? I´m Not in Love, An Englishman in New York and Cry are absolute hits, gorgeously beautiful. They are great video makers, they did The Police "Every Breath You Take", Duran Duran "Girls On Film" and Frankie Goes to Hollywood "Two Tribes". Also, they were the first to ever use "morphing" technique in a music video. They did that in 1985, for their beautiful song Cry. In 1991 Michael Jackson´s "Black or White" music video "borrowed" Godley & Creme's idea.

@@leproghead Right... No matter what, Mozart is from 1756, Beethoven is from 1770, and Doug knows, Teach and Play music of all of them. The same applies to Genesis and YES which are bands from 1967 and 1968. Doug is an artist, a very well educated Musician, so, his knowledge of music of a one generation earlier than his, shouldn´t be a problem to learn.

Since you don't know 10CC: They were awesome. Listen to "I'm Not In Love" of the mid 70's when digital was not around for years to come. They overdubbed themselves about 75 times to create that unique sound.

10cc. Ostensibly a pop band of the 70’s. But surprisingly sophisticated for the radio audience. “I’m Mandy, fly me.” …Some really good progressions in there. “Art for Arts sake” …interesting and reasonably complex. Godley and Creme made a lot of groundbreaking videos for many artists, one of the most popular being “cry” for themselves. It doesn’t look that great now, but there was nothing like it at the time, and it was before computer blending/morphing was available. Worth ten mins of your time. Keep it up buddy. Love your channel.

You haven't heard of 10cc? Well maybe as you're American I guess that's partly understandable. They were huge just about everywhere in their time, except of course, in the USA, who tend to be late to the party, if they ever turn up. All I can say is beg, borrow or steal a copy of the albums 'How Dare You' and/or 'Sheet Music' by 10cc. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

When Peter Gabriel was asked about the video: "I can think of worse ways to make a living." I love his humor. Oh. and if you don't know 10cc, you need to do one of their songs: I suggest I'm Not in Love

10cc: One of the best, if not _the_ best British prog-_pop_ bands of the 70's (the great prog-_rock_ bands like Genesis or Yes aside of course). "The original Soundtrack", "Sheet Music" and "How dare you!" are considered to be their best albums (and most inventive, progressive and original).

Definitely prog-pop and just so clever with those lyrics. "When the barman said what are you drinking, I said marriage on the rocks". Just brilliant.
