Music Monday - Peter Gabriel 

 

Peter Gabriel's album So turns 25 this month and on 22nd October a special 25th anniversary remastered version of So was released.  

To join the 25th anniversary celebrations (and feel old at the same time), here are my favourite songs from the album, plus a couple from different albums.

 

 

Red Rain  

 

 

Sledgehammer  

 

 

Don't Give Up  

 

 

Big Time  

 


Mercy Street  

 


In Your Eyes   

 

 

 

Not from the original So but included in the 2-disc 'Live In Athens 1987':

Solsbury Hill  

 

 

Games Without Frontiers*

* Confession: 30 year old mystery solved. I FINALLY know the lyrics to the chorus in Peter Gabriel's Games Without Frontiers. It's "Jeux sans frontières". All this time I just hummed along because I couldn't figure out the words. Anyone else faced this or am I the only one who didn't know?
