[/caption]I’ve got tickets!
for the voice of Brittain before the Daily Express, that is
17th of september, Gelredome, he’s bringing a symphony orchestra
Thank god it’s getting better in my wardrobe
I’ve kicked out the colony of slippermen residing there
Peter Gabriel discography (studio albums as a solo artist)...
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
us
so
up
scratch my back
The first four albums are untitled...
Actually...
I guess they aren’t called albums, but projects...
he aslo did some other stuff in between and before...
Anyway (nice effort)...
The last project consists of “just” covers with new arrangements, played by a Symphony Orchestra:
1. "Heroes" - David Bowie
2. "The Boy in the Bubble" - Paul Simon
3. "Mirrorball" - Elbow
4. "Flume" - Bon Iver
5. "Listening Wind" - Talking Heads (David Byrne)
6. "The Power of the Heart" - Lou Reed
7. "My Body Is a Cage" - Arcade Fire
8. "The Book of Love" - The Magnetic Fields
9. "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" - Randy Newman
10. "Après moi" - Regina Spektor
11. "Philadelphia" - Neil Young
12. "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" - Radiohead
It will be followed up by:
I’ll scratch yours
On which the people whose music he covered, will cover a song from him, so called: reciprocal covers
Some of them have already been released as double A-sides on Itunes
The Magnetic Fields - “Not one of us”
Bon Iver - “Come Talk To Me”
Paul Simon - “Biko”
Lou Reed - “Solsbury Hill”
Elbow - “Mercy Street”
David Byrne - “I Don’t Remember”
Well... not everyone will cover a song. Apparently Radiohead resigned from the project after they heard Gabriels recording of Street Spirit.
Guess they didn’t read this quote:
“If you’re going to reinterpret something, then really do something. Nail your colours to the mast and say: This is different, and it isn’t everybody’s cup of tea.”
I really cannot imagine that talented musicians like Radiohead would respond in such a way. It’s just internet buzz of course, but it appears they have some more cages to escape from (It’s not quite the same Phil). If I listen to the way the song The Boy In The Bubble is being discussed in the video below I would be honoured even if I hated the result. you do know I’m also a fan of lyrics right? Actually, one of my favourite lyrics is “For Emily, whenever I may find her” by Paul Simon (and Garfunkel). Also covered by other great artists: if only I could do this
Anyway (again), for someone to include songs by Bowie and Simon, Reed, Young and the Heads, but at the same time Elbow and Regina Spektor (first albums 2001) and Bon Iver (first album 2008), who the fuck are you be a critic to such a an open mind?
Oh well... I still love you Radiohead.
Oh my god! I forgot how cool David Byrne is, he covered “I don’t remember”
It’s Peter Gabriels favourite reciprocal cover
Listening Wind/ I Don't Remember by RealWorldRecords
I guess there’s a difference between “talented musicians” and “legendary artists”
Most of these covers and their returns are available on Peter Gabriels site as soundcloud streams, take a moment to check them out
it will be worth your while
hmmm
heavy downpour or worth your while?
Oh!
Supper’s ready
Sigh...
I’d rather trust a country man than a you-tuber with a cam, who can not spell (theyre all pointing), film and thinks this song is about believing in god I guess the literal interpretation of the lyrics should have been a warning.... take me away!!!
Where’s a Supernatural Anaesthetist when you need one?
