Peter Gabriel Zitate
seite 2

Peter Brian Gabriel ist ein britischer Musiker, Komponist und Texter, Video-Künstler und Aktivist der Humanitären Hilfe. Bekannt wurde er in den frühen 1970er Jahren als Sänger, Frontmann und Gründungsmitglied der damaligen Progressive-Rock-Band Genesis. Zudem spielt er Querflöte, Oboe und Keyboards.

Nach seinem Weggang von Genesis im Herbst 1975 startete er eine erfolgreiche Solokarriere. Der Schwerpunkt lag auf der Produktion und Förderung von Weltmusik, sowohl seine eigene Musik aber auch die anderer Künstler betreffend. Zudem nahm er eine Vorreiterrolle im Bereich der digital bearbeiteten Musik ein. Seine Musik, eine nicht klar kategorisierbare Mischung aus Pop und Rock mit progressiven Elementen und deutlichen Einflüssen der Weltmusik, stellte er aufwendig in spektakulären Videos und konzeptionell choreografierten Liveshows dar.

Peter Gabriel engagiert sich für Menschenrechte, unter anderem bei Amnesty International und der von ihm mitbegründeten Menschenrechtsorganisation Witness. Wikipedia

“I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair
Oh, do I dare… I have the touch.”

Biko
Song lyrics, Peter Gabriel (III) (1980)

“In your eyes,
The light, the heat.
In your eyes,
I am complete.
In your eyes,
I see the doorway to a thousand churches.
In your eyes,
The resolution of all the fruitless searches.In your eyes,
I see the light and the heat.
In your eyes,
Oh, I want to be that complete.
I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes.”

In Your Eyes
Song lyrics, So (1986)

“I caught sight of my reflection;
I caught it in the window.
I saw the darkness in my heart;
I saw the signs of my undoing.
They had been there from the start,
And the darkness still has work to do.
The knotted chord's untying.
They're heated and they're holy.
Oh they're sitting there on high.
So secure with everything they're buying.”

Such a mass of motion — do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and… I have the touch.”

Yes, I love to be loved.”

Love to Be Loved
Song lyrics, Us (1992)

“If we can stand up
When all else falls down,
We'll last through the winter.
We'll last through the storms.
We'll last through the north winds
That bring down the ice and snow.
We'll last through the long nights
Till the green field's growing again.
Growing again.”

Song lyrics, OVO (2000)

This place is so quiet, sensing that storm.”

Mercy Street
Song lyrics, So (1986)

“Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
— whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
— whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle.
It’s a knockout.”

That Voice Again
Song lyrics, So (1986)

“D. I. Y., D. I. Y., D. I. Y., D. I. Y.
Don't tell me what I will do, 'cos I won't.
Don't tell me to believe in you, 'cos I don't.
Be on your guard, better hostile and hard, don't risk affection;
Like flesh to the bone in the no-go zone,
You're still looking for the Resurrection.
Come up to me with your "What did you say?"”

And I'll tell you, straight in the eye:
D.I.Y., D.I.Y.
D.I.Y
Song lyrics, Peter Gabriel (II) (1978)

“The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight.
In search of you, I feel my way, through the slowest heaving night.
Whatever fear invents, I swear it makes no sense.
I reach through the border fence.
Come down, come talk to me.”

Come Talk to Me
Song lyrics, Us (1992)

“Now we're busy making all our busy plans
On foundations built to last.
But nothing fades as fast as the future
And nothing clings like the past, until we can see.More than this,
More than this.
So much more than this.
There is something out there
More than this.
It's coming through
And more than this.
I stand alone and so connected
And I'm all there,
Right next to you.”

More Than This
Song lyrics, Up (2002)

“I'm scared of swimming in the sea,
Dark shapes moving under me.
Every fear I swallow makes me small.
Inconsequential things occur,
Alarms are triggered,
Memories stir.
It's not the way it has to be.”
