Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street [Extended Mollem Studios Version] - New Blood

Following the artistic success of Scratch My Back, 2011’s New Blood delved deep into the Gabriel songbook to strip past glories down to their bare essentials, Peter’s voice again shorn of the rock musician’s usual accompaniment. Instead, a 46-piece orchestra replaces the guitars and amps, John Metcalfe again commissioned to create orchestral arrangements for both timeless classics and less obvious choices.
The Album 'New Blood', released October 9, 2011
Written by Peter Gabriel
Produced by Peter Gabriel and John Metcalfe
Arranged by John Metcalfe and Peter Gabriel
Mixed by Richard Chappell and John Metcalfe
Orchestrated by John Metcalfe

The long journey, accumulated terrors and suffering has shaken the stoutest of hearts among us. May God Bless Peter Gabriel.

His track Father and Son, such a reminder of how family will experience dementia and face it and find a way of [sometimes] undoing part of the effect. My father had a stroke in 2016, although he just lost the control of his right hand, over the next 12 months he got it 98% back. He had to teach his hand how to operate, and he did it with playing cards and squeezing a ball. Every day, for 365 days.

There is a gravitas to this song that is missing with the lightness of the orchestration and harmony. The darker undercurrent of the images that might be conjured by, say - a poem by Anne Sexton, is missing. This can be a good way to go, but I'd up the cello and use the male voice as the harmony. The magic of the song is found, in my view - in the kind of reflected meaning in the harmony, and the way that the original version throws you into that kind of 'let's take the boat out' (wait until darkness) kind of feel. Otherwise, good song. Love it.
