In your eyes

Posted on April 23 2020

This is an entirely gratuitous post: a post just because I want to do it.

Because I like this song and the spirit that it embodies, at so many levels.

And I like the fun these performers are having.

And the memory that once we could meet in this way.

And the hope that we might do so again.

Because, simply, I find this uplifting right now.

And that's good enough.

Thanks for reading this post.

    It’s a great song – just because it is from the 80’s shouldn’t be counted against it.

    Tony Levin (the bass player) made that album.

    Here’s another great song, with rejigged words –

    “Save Lives – Stay in the Hoose!” https://www.facebook.com/708568335/posts/10158432658568336/

    Wow. I have the album on an ipod and it’s one of the things I listen to on planes (just a personal tradition). However, I have never been to any concert or seen any video that I recall. This was great.

    He is one of those people with a haunting voice, like Stevie Nicks, Michael Stipe, Sinead O’Connor and Adele, to name a few.

    Flying (and being offline with it, on many long flights) was always a stocktaking moment for me. I largely gave it up just over 10 years ago but have wondered lately if I’d ever do it again. If I do I plan to watch this or listen (ipod will be retired) with a smile. Thanks.

    A truly amazing artist who has written truly amazing songs. Here Comes The Flood is one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard. Peter Gabriel 3 or “Melt” is my favourite Gabriel album.

    Thank you for making my day.

    We are capable of such wonder and prone to such blunder…
