A storyteller for the ages... his voice is unmistakable. His words are divine. His compositions are masterpieces. The world has missed your voice. Welcome back, Sir 💓
I am really afraid of the day, that Peter Gabriel will leave this world behind. His music is at my side since I was a little boy. It helps me thru the decades of suffering isolation and depression. Since I am 8 years old. Some of his songs literally saved my life countless times. I dont know, how this little bastard always managed it to get so deep into my soul for decades, but only to release and to heal and to hold me up. And I am thankfull for his music. It is like a very gentle and peacfull angel that always walks one step behind on my side. Now I am 50 years old. Music can save lifes. Gabriels music did this for years very well. Thanks Mr. Gabriel.
This moved me. My Mum and I are playing for time. There’s not much of it left as she deteriorates in a nursing home. A beautiful song. Thank you Peter.
@@amirlavie thank you so much for your kind birthday wishes. The prospect of 60.. mixed emotions of course but I hope to be healthy, still curious and embrace the people I love and good times. The river flows on .
Playing for Time (Dark-Side Mix) Lyrics Far, far away Out amongst the stars There’s a planet spinning slowly We call it ours Any time, any day Any moment that we bring to life Will never fade away Oh, oh the moments come and go While the memories ebb and flow Play again, play again Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb Climb toward the mist of time It’s all in here what we’ve been through Down, I’m getting it down Sorting it out So everything I care about Is held in here All of those I love inside Everybody’s playing for time You and I still playing for time Thеre goes the sun Back from whеre it came The young move to the centre The mom and dad, the frame Any space, any time Any moment that we bring to life Ridiculous, sublime Oh, oh the moments come and go While the memories ebb and flow Play again, play again Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb Climb toward these mists of time It’s all in here what we’ve been through Down, getting it down Sorting it out So everything I care about Is held in here All of those I love inside Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh The future shines a sunny day Unpacked memories stored away All the while, the clock keeps ticking You and I still playing for time One by one the voices silenced For they know that time will tell It’s time that wears the crown And time that rings the bell All cards on the table All hands are down Everybody’s playing for time Everyone’s still playing for time Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock Hidden in the mountain, in the body of the rock No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock They’re all too busy playing for time Everybody’s playing for time You and I still playing for time
Same here.I feel this passion in the voice and especially the lyrics.I will have to travel back to Denver to see him.After that song.Its calling me to go feel that passion in person
@@davidrayborn8678 I took a look at the prices of tickets here in the UK and they are astronomical for a poor person like me lol. No doubt he will be worth it for folk who can afford to go see him. They are extremely lucky and I really hope they put their phones away!😉
Simply beautiful. Like Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" an instant masterpiece that literally is a song for all time. Makes you think and feel about the things that really matter.
Peter Gabriel's music has given me more transcendental moments and goose bumps than any other, and I've listened to so much music in my life. A truly spiritual journey, can't wait for this album to be released in full...
I want 4:40 to the end at my funerals. It's just phenomenal. Voice, chords, piano, mixing. I broke in tears each time. This is one of these very rare songs you know. Youre driving while its playing in your car, you need to stop. Urgently. Thanks Peter.
I hear "Here comes the flood" echoeing in this one. Just wondering if Peter hears that too. Still Peter Gabriel, one of my heroes for breaking through boundaries in contemporary music.
Maybe you don't know that Peter Gabriel started with th e Band 'Genesis' already in 1967. In all these decades there was a tremendous amount of music. Maybe you try to listen total it! You will be busy
I loved all three but this is my favorite so far. Great song, great orchestration, fantastic voice. With love from a 54-year old follower from Istanbul-Turkey, since '86. Thank you for all the feelings & thoughts you have given us with your artistry. 💕
I just spent a month's rent to see you in Philadelphia in September. It's a more expensive proposition than it used to be (in more ways than one), but you and I are still playing for time. Play on!
Peter Gabriel on the musical Highway(2023)again. Takes time for a beautiful song. Thank you angel Gabriel! The uncatched time is probably the greatest illusion for the human being? But were emotions are, there is timeless time.
Sublime! Wonderful lyrics- this Senior Citizen feels them deeply. Thank you, Peter, for your whole body of work, and for continuing to bless us with your music, mind and spirit! 🎵❤️🎵
In one word: this is the Peter Gabriel's hymn. Beautiful musical piece! In many words: some unusual jazzy chords on the piano in the beginning, then his charismatic powerful voice in the chorus and finally a rock & classic orchestration, with some deep lyrics = it's really a majestic hymn for his new album "I/O". All the Peter Gabriel's tracks are composed when it's full moon. Peter Gabriel is a so special great spiritual musical artist.
All the songs he made, with his crew, are pure food for my soul. It let me start, to overthink something in this world and in my mind. The result, brings me ever so close, to the truth. Thank you sooooooo much, for all the time, you and your crew spended, to bring us this tasty soulfood. 🙏🏼💓💫 (Sorry for my bad english, i'm a german guy, but i hope, you will understand it. Du begleitest mich mein ganzes Leben und läßt mich immer wieder aufstehen, wenn ich falle. Danke liebster Peter Gabriel und danke auch, an all deine Freunde, die diese wundervolle Arbeit mit dir gestalten und vollenden. Danke ❣️
As an American, I understood exactly what you meant. His music is indeed soul food. I hope you have the chance to see him live on this tour. It's going to be magic
Depuis le commencement Peter Gabriel partage son inspiration telle la nature qui cultive ses fruits, une œuvre à sa mesure et que nous savourons depuis naturellement!
sono tornato...diceva ringo beh... questo e peter gabriel che dire quando si spara si spara non si parla ..di gabriel ce ne solo uno...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nessun artista vivente emoziona come Peter Gabriel sempre innovativo ricercatore di suoni sfumature musicali immense ti fa pensare ti fa migliorare come essere umano grazie di esistere ti seguo dal 1972 e resti sempre il numero 1
How Peter’s soul holds the world and connects us through bearing witness to the inner landscape of our humanity is so glorious! “Every moment we bring to life will never fade away.”
allo im so excithing to see you in ottawa in september excuse my writhing im french im doing my best see you soon love your kwew album and thank you to be there for us
I have just finished listening to Peter's new song 'Playing For Time', and without a doubt this is a genuinely great new song, easily his best song in thirty years. It is very beautiful, deeply moving, poignant, and full of heart. Gabriel's voice for a 73'year old is truly magnificent on this song. He sounds like a 30 year old man at the peak of his singing powers. Both the song, its lyrics, it's orchestral arrangement, and his voice are a triumph. Peter Gabriel has yet again written a masterpiece. Thanks so much Peter. Jonathan Barry, artist and author, Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland.
Perhaps a sequel to Here Comes the Flood. I've listened to this new single for two consecutive daze. It's always inspirational whenever a true icon demonstrates genius is not restricted by age. Thanks PG.
@@eltonmayo2027 not exactly. It strings some similar notes to here comes the flood but the theme is quite different. More spiritual as he stripped the Christian religious influence from the song (if you mean to compare with here comes the flood). And then you notice the optimism and uplifting endnote that is typical for Peter and was heard throughout genesis quite clearly. There is no flood here, literally. There is no doomsday in this song, no reset if anything it's an ebb and flow of memories hinting at the eternal that lies within the ticking off the clock.
@@eltonmayo2027 i do believe Peter is experiencing the lateness of his mortality. dreamers like PG are capturing how age is in conflict with the human mind.
Ironically, Peter is virtually timeless. Such a sweet, gentle, authentic soul. Conjures up memories of Sandy Denny's "Where has the time gone". Heartwrenching, yet beautiful. Long live PG!
It's not The Flood. It's not Randy Newman.Lazy listeners. It's a a song in its own right that took an extraordinary amount of talent to execute. Beautiful. Peter's voice is sublime.
Just got my tickets for the NY show at the Garden. I remeber buying out the center 11th row section at the Poughkeepsie Civic Center to get my Deadhead friends on board with this amazing man back in the early 80s. He's been my favorite artist since he was in Genesis. After 40 some odd years, I still can't wait to see him. PS - I have seen him a number of time since then...
The lyrics have a great resonance with us all . Therein lies their meaning and success. Words have greater significance with increasing age; at least, that is my experience.
Lordy lordy. Decades pass and Mr. Gabriel's work just keeps maturing and rising. Huge song structure that constantly moves in ascending patterns. Great, as always.
I don't want to speak too soon but i/o is shaping up to be one of my favourite Gabriel albums ever. This is crazy. I was partly expecting this project to sound like UP leftovers. These songs are far better than that. This song in particular is reminding me of a Randy Newman influence and I haven't heard that out of Gabriel since Scratch. This isn't the first time that i/o has brought me to Scratch. I haven't seen anybody else mention that but that's where I've ended up, at least twice so far, which makes me very, VERY f%#king happy. 👍😎
Oh my gosh, i forgot how much joy you bring me, @Peter Gabriel. If i hadnt found that yahoo music interview, i wouldn't have found a lost love. Fine wine doesn't even compare. Keep up with your God's work. So good to see you.
I THINK i prefer the dark side mix of this song. And in my humble opinion is probably one if the best from Peter and one of the best song i heard in this decade. Stunning.
Wow..what to say?..another beautiful & touching song from the album..thoughtful & wise lyrics, greatly sung, subtle piano playing & beautifully arranged..well done Peter!👋👋❤️🙏
I just listened to this for the first time and it brought tears to my eyes, for so many reasons. I have a dear friend, who is dying of cancer. and this hits hard.
Magnifique chanson toujours la même voix envoûtante et quelques larmes pour la beauté de la mélodie Peter Gabriel fait parti de ces rares artistes qui me font entrer dans un univers fantastic...😀
Just beautiful. As I reluctantly edge into the autumn of my life and friends and relations pass away on a seemingly daily basis, this song describes it very well. Thanks.
A storyteller for the ages... his voice is unmistakable. His words are divine. His compositions are masterpieces. The world has missed your voice. Welcome back, Sir 💓
Always enjoyed him,but now I will be flying from Florida back to Denver soon to see his show, playing this song on repeat
Couldn't agree more.
A real treasure ❤
Yes, a lifetime companion for most of us for more than half a century. And the journey continues......
@@tizianalancia7679, no doubt
There are no words to describe this song, this album.

Life changing lyrics and music.😅

This moved me. My Mum and I are playing for time. There’s not much of it left as she deteriorates in a nursing home. A beautiful song. Thank you Peter.
Make memories.
Yes, similar situation with my mother. Every moment is vital and precious, so very precious.
I'm still sobbing, Peter Gabriel has said exactly what I couldn't. So moved. Peter Gabriel Thank You for Being ♥️
Peter and Randy Newman channeling each other.
Guys, before arriving at 4:40 hold on well, fasten your seat belts because the emotion becomes sublime...
Today is my 58th birthday. What a beautiful song to greet the day . Thank you Peter 😊
Celebrated also this year 58.... do you hear the horror soundtrack with violins toward 60? 😂😂😂 lucky we have Peter Gabriel that still keeps us young 😀
@@amirlavie thank you so much for your kind birthday wishes. The prospect of 60.. mixed emotions of course but I hope to be healthy, still curious and embrace the people I love and good times. The river flows on .

Playing for Time (Dark-Side Mix) Lyrics
Far, far away
Out amongst the stars
There’s a planet spinning slowly
We call it ours
Any time, any day
Any moment that we bring to life
Will never fade away
Oh, oh the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
Play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb toward the mist of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through
Down, I’m getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love inside
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time
Thеre goes the sun
Back from whеre it came
The young move to the centre
The mom and dad, the frame
Any space, any time
Any moment that we bring to life
Ridiculous, sublime
Oh, oh the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
Play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb toward these mists of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through
Down, getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love inside
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
The future shines a sunny day
Unpacked memories stored away
All the while, the clock keeps ticking
You and I still playing for time
One by one the voices silenced
For they know that time will tell
It’s time that wears the crown
And time that rings the bell
All cards on the table
All hands are down
Everybody’s playing for time
Everyone’s still playing for time
Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock
Hidden in the mountain, in the body of the rock
No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock
They’re all too busy playing for time
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time
Thank you for this. But I think "Climb toward..." should be "Climb through all..."

Peter is one musician, who even at an older age now, compared to his younger music, still has his voice and it is just fine fine wine.
I so hope this song makes the airwaves far and wide. My new Favorite song

Amazing powerful song! At 4:40 lyrics, vocals and everything is mesmerizing. Can’t wait to see him in Buffalo.
Unbelievable. Touching my soul. PG, one of the greatest musicans of all time. The older the better. Respect and great worship from germany.

i do believe Peter is experiencing the lateness of his mortality. dreamers like PG are capturing how age is in conflict with the human mind.
I just saw him in concert tonight, and this song brought me to tears....he's still such a prolific songwriter/artist. I was blown away.
The urgency of living now, not later. Meaningful lyrics, powerful music. "Listen to the old man speak of all he has been through...."
Ironically, Peter is virtually timeless. Such a sweet, gentle, authentic soul. Conjures up memories of Sandy Denny's "Where has the time gone". Heartwrenching, yet beautiful. Long live PG!
I am so glad you're coming to Ottawa. First time in 35 yrs. I've got my ticket. Thanks
Aww, I like the reflective, pensive tone of Playing for Time. It feels like having a quiet conversation about life.
Absolutely Sublime... Beautiful recognisable voice .... Best Album I have heard in some years. Thank you Peter...

Houston, Texas here. Seeing him tonight and I can't wait!! Loved Peter Gabriel for DECADES. ❤❤❤

This song is so warm; gives me a warm fuzzy kind of Christmas feeling and a nostalgia and nod to the Genesis era.🤩
Beautiful and touching...Peter never disappoints! Now announce some US tour dates! 🙂
He just did this afternoon
Kolejna kropla miodu na serce od Petera❤️
@H H Unfortunately nothing in southeastern US which is very disappointing
Just beautiful. As I reluctantly edge into the autumn of my life and friends and relations pass away on a seemingly daily basis, this song describes it very well. Thanks.
We are lucky to share old age with PG

This really reminds me of his "Washing of the Waters". Love it!
Another stunning and heartfelt example of why I love his heart and music.
I’m not crying, you are!
What an artist, what a masterpeace again! I'm so grateful for this, thank you, Peter!
It's not very often I am Speechless, 😶,,xxx
