I’m a teenager again when I hear this (now 68). Just full of torment, rage, and pain. Needing someone who will just listen. Someone who will understand me without judgment and let me know that I am loved. Saw him live and it was amazing but long before Melanie came aboard.
I did not know that was Peter's daughter. At the end, with tightly clasped hands, staring intensely into each other's eyes - well, there's tears in mine. He has always made me feel deeply known, in places I didn't know I had until he touched them and wouldn't let go. Words fail me. I want very much to articulate how his music touches me, but then, if you're reading this, it most likely does the same to you.
For those who don’t know; Peter wrote this song for and about Melanie while she was going through a time as most young people do, not communicating so much with their parents
I don't care how many times I watch this I have to fight back tears when I see the way they look at each other before they hug. Seems like a lot of love that father and daughter have found, perhaps not always so easy when Dad is a huge international star... good for them both.
U know he wrote it,for her! It's about the difficulty he had communicating with his daughter. The song is an invitation, asking her to "unlock this misery" and come talk to him.
Wow,. Amazing. Three people apparently don't like seeing a father and his daughter reconnect through music, singing to each other and bringing to life the words of the song. I really feel sorry for those people.
Best performance of this song. Seeing as he wrote it for Melanie you can see the emotion in her face when they are facing each other. Can definitely feel the emotion.
I read it was written about his relationship with Melanie. Things went downhill around the time he moved in with Rosanna Arquette. Strange time in his life. I'm glad they got it together and this song is so powerful ut brings tears to my eyes.
@@MILESnomore Nope... He never openly stated it was about Melanie, but i've seen interviews of him telling it was about his relationship with his "youngest" at the time. His youngest at the time was obviously Melanie. Anna is the eldest.

Kiedyś kolega dał mi zwykłą kasetę z nagraniem i usłyszałam głos który zapadł mi w głowę i jest nie zastąpiony To właśnie Peter Gabriel dźwięk głosu taki , że tylko on tak ma bez względu jaki rodzaj muzyki śpiewa czy inprenetuje Więc Cudownie Ulubiony PO prostu .
This song was wrote for his daughter Mélanie when she was 15, he was on a love affair with Rosanna Arquette, teenage is not easy and they are rude to their parents. As many parents know, communication is difficult to say the least. But at the end, 15 years later, she began working with her father, as did her sister by filming. I love this song, and moreover what happened with the father and the daughter becoming so close.
I have to admit, I grew up with people who were big fans of Peter Gabriel and I heard this song as well as others, but at the time, I was just a kid who heard these songs and didn't understand the lyrics and what they meant or what was behind them. Now that I'm older, I admit I can't listen to (or watch) this without breaking down because I didn't know how bad the relationship between him and his daughter was and this song was his attempt to reconnect with her. It breaks my heart because I'm going through a similar situation with my own family: I haven't spoken to any of my blood relatives for going on 5.5yrs because I went through a nasty divorce 7 years ago and I took the high road by not talking about it or airing my dirty laundry out because it wasn't anyone else's business. When people asked I just would tell them it was a toxic relationship turned marriage and that's all I can say...I didn't go into details out of respect. Unfortunately my parents were more on my ex's side of things when it was all said and done and decided to tell my story to everyone: family, friends, and everyone in the world. Hence then my family began to judge and bombard me with a smear campaign led by own parents and then I got to the point where I couldn't (and still can't) trust them anymore not to gossip to each other about my life then or now, so I cut them all off. As much as I do wish I could talk to a few of them and maybe reconnect with them somehow or someway, I just don't see it happening because of the powerful influence & control my parents (in particular, my mom) have over the whole family...it's very cult-like and manipulative, unfortunately
Never is too late, reconsider, make another conecction, sometimes besides the family are friends alongside the road, try not no keep a bad feeling inside you, everything changes and please be happy again, regards my friend!! Hope to hear from you again, lots of goog vibes to you!!!
@@daveha1023 thank you for your kind words. I admit that I have built and strengthened connections with friends since then and the beauty of the situation now is that my wife’s family has all accepted and given me love and acceptance that I craved my whole life…and I know that makes my biological family (especially parents) very upset and jealous. But I always try and tell/remind myself that that’s mostly about them and got nothing to do with me because I’m being treated and being given what they never could give me as a kid or even now
Thank you for your vulnerability here. it is in the Spirit of Peter, and it has hints of God's love in it. May you by grace enjoy a reconciliation with some of your loved ones. As PG sang earlier, "Don't Give Up". I'll be praying, stranger and friend.
She stacks up and backs up well, and follows her dad when asked, but did you hear the clarion otherwordly peal ringing out when she went off on her own?
Acredito que sim e não estou informado. O que sei é que o disco US=nós-é sobre uma terrível fase dele com a separação da esposa, de um romance e o distanciamento da filha. ele precisou de ajuda e fez terapia. O disco é sobre relacionamentos.

Spot on.
She has a smile like her daddy. So emotional that hand interlocking

My daughter is 100%adhd.that work Take 6 years To get there
He wrote this song for his daughter in an attempt to reconnect after Peter got divorced. This song is so beautiful it makes me want to cry.

Every time I see it.
I don't even try to fight them anymore 😭,
I have a son I haven't spoken to in 5 years , it doesn't get any easier with time.

Good luck!
@KOTAPA
Thank you so much for taking the time to be sweet 💕
I really like how Melanie's voice blends so well with her dads.
Mel has the softest voice❤
that ending is so powerful...Father and Daughter....
Ko
Melanie is absolutely wonderful.
Peter is genius
Lady Melanie and her father share a strong bond, it is palpable, a superb daughter, I have one of
my own so I know with what I speak
Ironic you are
They make kicking ass look so easy. & Melanie is a diamond.🥰
Melanie is so cute and talented!
She is a beautiful lady and has a powerful voice.
Wow,. Amazing. Three people apparently don't like seeing a father and his daughter reconnect through music, singing to each other and bringing to life the words of the song. I really feel sorry for those people.
It's a great song and performance, but the audio is a bit muddy and unsynched. Could just be my device, but other songs are ok..
Me too...sorry for them too
@@chrlz904you can buy our DVD...
Beautiful to watch the love, tenderness and respect between father and daughter.
Best performance of this song. Seeing as he wrote it for Melanie you can see the emotion in her face when they are facing each other. Can definitely feel the emotion.
Indeed my friend, thanks for watching
I would argue that I prefer Katche's part on the drums, now just a question of taste I suppose.
think it was initially written for Anna

Their voices complement each other so incredibly well ❤️
I can imagine the moment...breaking out through the silence...all the things that we both might say!”
The most underrated album ever...love it!
Peter Gabriel very BEST !
Beautiful ❣️
Neck hairs rising. Shivers. A smile. Even tears. Love it when music does that..
Love the sentiment. The well-put prose. The painted thought. Thank you Martin.
Melanie Gabriel is a beautiful lady. Love to see her support dear ol' dad...
This sound drives me mad, I love

Melanie gabriel and dad,make me cry
Thank you Peter
I thought the Secret World version of this was the best version until I stumbled onto this one. How magical it must feel to perform it with the person he wrote it for! Absolutely beautiful
Thanks!!!!
He actually wrote it for the other daughter, who filmed a doc of this tour.
100% agree.
Kiedyś kolega dał mi zwykłą kasetę z nagraniem i usłyszałam głos który zapadł mi w głowę i jest nie zastąpiony To właśnie Peter Gabriel dźwięk głosu taki , że tylko on tak ma bez względu jaki rodzaj muzyki śpiewa czy inprenetuje Więc Cudownie Ulubiony PO prostu .
as magical as it gets
If mel...was ever sad,come talk to ME❤
This song was wrote for his daughter Mélanie when she was 15, he was on a love affair with Rosanna Arquette, teenage is not easy and they are rude to their parents. As many parents know, communication is difficult to say the least.

No conocía el origen de la canción
His voice is phenomenal.
Mell...her soft dance...puts me in a...trance❤
There is hope for the human race after all !
Sublime numéro. Peter Gabriel est un artiste que je suis depuis plusieurs décennies
Die Augen von Melanie mit dem Blick zu Peter berühren die Seele. Spannend, wunderschön und atemberaubend ehrlich ist das wahrzunehmen.
I really love this song and must say that I love this version more than the Secret World version but I do like that one. This one is more powerful.
So freaking awesome and touching ❤
One of my favorite Gabriel songs. Such heart in his voice.. as always 💔
Maravilloso.....
