Deep Dive into the tracks from i/o on Bandcamp: petergabriel.b...
‘‘Playing For Time is a song that I have been working on for a long time and have performed live, without lyrics, so some people may be familiar with it. It’s been an important song for me. It's about time, mortality and memories and the idea that each of us has a planet full of memories which get stashed inside the brain.
It is more of a personal song about how you assemble memories and whether we are prisoners of time or whether that is something that can actually free us. I do think it’s good to push yourself towards more bold or interesting experiences because then you will have richer memories to feed you when you get to my age. You also get taught by every meaningful experience that you go through.’
Written and produced by Peter Gabriel, Playing For Time was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire and The Beehive in London, and features Tom Cawley on piano. The orchestral arrangement, by Ed Shearmur, was recorded at British Grove Studios in London with a number of players who previously featured in the New Blood Orchestra.

'I’d seen the work of Annette Messager, who is a wonderful artist, many years ago and nearly got her involved in the Art from Us project, but this time I thought she’d be exactly the right person to ask to do something for this song.'
Gabriel’s thoughts about time were, in part, influenced by the work of the Long Now Foundation, and Danny Hillis’s extraordinary invention, The 10,000 Year Clock, which is an idea designed to try and encourage us to think long-term. ‘I’m sure that if we have a chance of surviving the existential problems that we now face we have to start thinking much bigger and longer to make some real headway. So, I think what they do is enormously valuable and there are some amazing talks on their website, so for those that want a deep dive into the role of time and long-term thinking, the Long Now Foundation is a wonderful place to start.’

Losing my Mother recently and witnessing her memory lost at the end, made me cry with your message Peter! I have idolized you through your career and your music has influenced my own music! Thank you for continued inspiration! It means the world to me! Paul, another LUNAtic!
Much love to you 🍀🤘
I am sorry to hear you lost your mother, I lost my mum five years ago, who I cared for she had M.S. I Still miss her, but still feel her guidance still.She was another positive influence like Peter has been in my life.All the best to you Paul.
Sorry for the loss of your mom.😔
Peter is continuing to advance new ideas and concepts which inspire us and especially me personally. His idea of a vast "recording" medium made me realize that our close family members have recorded so much of our family history in our minds. We got together and played back each one of our historical compilations while celebrating my mother's passing 4 days ago, it was like revisiting our favorite songs and episodes of our family life. Thank you, Peter, for provoking inspiration. Steve P.
@@ginnashupper725 thank you Ginna.. I really appreciate your condolences.
Am 52, this is the song that really speaks to me. Lost my daughter in 07 & my mother in 76, both by car accidents. Time moves on & the memories are always with me 💜💜
😢
Sorry to hear . Memories are a valuable piece of human existence
Were their deaths instant or they had to suffer in terrible pains after accidents happened ?
Much compassion coming to you.
I’m so sorry. They are always with you. I hope the memories you shared together can bring you some comfort as time moves on.
One of the most unique, beautiful voice of our time. I’m begging my cousin to take me to your concert in September! I need this experience as you are so beloved and have this energy that brings emotions out of all of us. I have cancer.. strangely chronic, off all cancer meds, waiting patiently for my place in this next world. I hope to see your beautiful eyes of blue and voice of love. Ty Hope yo se u in September. ❤❤❤
Lifelong fan - just amazed that PG is still writing at this quality, and singing with more range than ever. Makes me teary-eyed and resonates on many levels. Thanks man, for so many years of musical inspiration and joy 🙌
It was comforting to see Peter get choked up at the end little, because this song has had me crying all day. I can’t wait to see the deep dive. This is a really special one and perhaps one of the most beautiful things Peter has written. Best i/o track yet! Can’t wait to hear more.
Where can I find the deep dives available? I saw something about it but don’t remember where- Thanks
@@JB-tb6yb you have to subscribe to Peter on BandCamp. They are posted there.
@@intheblink Thank-you!
He is such a sweet, gentle, authentic soul. Long live PG!
I cried. Nice Peter. You're a true gentleman and genius. 💖👍🤟😇
Peter Gabriel has articulated the connection and the hopes and the dreams that have guided me for more than 45 years and is the light and music that will continue to lead me forward for the time I have left. Thank you Peter.
Peter Gabriel. dear Brother in Music... You can't imagine what a deep influence you have on me and my own music. Thank you for being with us on our wonderful blue planet. Thank you for always looking and seeing beyond the horizon. And thank you for sharing your thoughts and your music. You and all these unlucky people around you... YOU are very encouraging. ❤🙏
what a wonderful human being,and teacher as well as a genius in song writing. thank you peter, this is a true masterpiece of our time .take care everyone .x
What an extraordinary person. He has such a pure soul and spirit that his words literally light up the space around him as he speaks. Magician. Grand Master.
What a great artist and person the Great Peter Gabriel 😊
You have no idea how good this song is. It’s really rather special.
Thanks for existing
I'm 57 years old and this hits me hard.
Not only for myself, but also my 73 year old big sister who I wish could live forever.
It's what you do now is what counts.
Surface meaning, slightly submerged consciousness and unconscious depth of primal emotion. Yes, it’s one of Gabriel’s greatest ever songs. I have avoided the deep depth of this and only arrived at it today. Boy, it is stunning.
After losing my Dad quite suddenly last summer-the man responsible for instilling an immense love of PG in me-this song came at me like a comet. Absolutely beautiful.
As an aside, my Dad always said he wanted Solsbury Hill played at his funeral, and I think I was the only one who remembered that. There wasn’t any means for which that could be done at the location of the funeral, so while I gave his eulogy, I had Solsbury Hill playing quietly on my phone in my pocket.
Thanks for that, and thanks for this, PG.
@@DavidMartin-qt1fx yes, exactly ❤️
Always with the faithful Tony Levin...one of the best bass players on the planet, essential for Peter's music.
Well said 👍🏻a true gift his talent
@@introspectivedreamer3864 No doubt !!
This is his deepest and perhaps his best song. I'm 53 years old, and hearing it in the car on a long trip today . . . it made me cry a little. That's quite a thing.
O’But/Daddy Long Legs was such a pretty song when Peter performed it on the Back to Front tour. I so wished he’d release a finalized version of it with meaningful lyrics and here it is. What a beautiful song. Thank you for continuing to make music, Peter.
These things take time…
I was thinking the same 🙂
I love these minutes we get to have with you. So nice to keep in touch with you. Youre an old friend, one Ive counted on for many years. Thanks Peter ❤️
Love you, Peter.
Watching this at 5am a few hours before signing the deed for the sale of the house I grew up in. A whole universe of bad and good memories. Thanks Peter, see you in Verona! 💓
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
Wow! What a fantastic song! An emotional ride indeed. Peter’s voice is breathtaking and the moment the band kicks in is magical!!
It’s a great song and the climax which include the lyrics you posted is one of the greatest pieces of Peter’s work.
Thanks Peter! Still playing for time.
I am so grateful that there is new Peter Gabriel music coming out. Thank you Sir for all you have done for music and for bringing the world together. We need your voice now more than ever!
The man and his magic! He has no equal.
Thank you for these explanations Mr Gabriel. Rafa’s reaction to the wonderful art of « uncle Tony » was so lovely , I am glad you kept it in this video .
Thank you, have a great day 🌷🌙🕯️📚
I just love your voice. It has not changed at all. Always unique and easy to listen to! Praying for you today!
I am learning about the limitations of human time. our family is touched by disease. my dad who isn't the same person is afflicted with Parkinsonism. He thinks he can still walk the roof and rescue. His mortality is challenged every day. His mind is scrambled and his strength is confused. Thanks Peter for this lovely stroll down memory street.
How this song holds us, Peter ! Like the warmest of embraces. To cherish the connections and everything the moments unfold….. Thank you for bearing witness to how precious it all is!
This is such a beautiful song. Thank you, Peter, for sharing it with us.
thank you for taking the time to do these posts
Eastern Europe were raised on you great music Dear Sir . You gave many of us hope in beauty and freedom at the time . My very best wishes
I saw you with Genesis in Leicester in 73 ,what a great performance on a miserable foggy night . Keep em coming brother.
I know this sounds weird but I truly love you Peter Gabriel. I been a fan of your songs since I was in my teens. I'm so very happy you are still out there making such beautiful music.
I was 11 years old when my Brother sat me down and forced me to listen to 'Suppers Ready'. It blew me away.
At :19, if you look at the upper left hand corner it appears we get a preview of another PG song - Path of Fortune. If only I could read music...
Oooh good catch!
I saw this as well. Not sure what key it’s in, but this looks to be a bass (contrabass) part for that song. I played it on piano. It’s a nice bass progression, but tells us woefully little such as the key or the tempo.
@@intheblink In the intro to "the Court," you can hear the prior song bleeding into the new song (a killer warm synth chord of some sort). Any sense of whether it matches the part you played?
@@williamwm6944 not that I can tell. Unfortunately the “Path to Fortune” sheet music is very sparse…
Thanks Peter❤️ See you at The KRAKOW concert on Poland 😊
Fantastic !
Time goes so quick as we age, lovely song, Peter. Loved every show we’ve been to since Universal Amphitheater in L.A.❤️🙌🔥🌟
Your voice still has the magic it did when I first heard it way back when - keep it going thanks so much for all your music - you are a living legend
Wow, can't wait for this one tonight! I've had the pleasure to listen to the first draft of this song live back in 2013 and I kept coming back to the live recording. So glad we're finally getting a completed studio version!
Being that March 7th is my Birthday. I'm 64 now and memories are now more precious to me then ever. And I thank you for this music on this day and as for long term, your music sir has been a long term enjoyment. Thank you again
I love this song it is beautiful and makes me think of my mom.
She is 98 and close to death. She is tryng to hang on to life with all her might.
But her memory isn't there to help her anymore and she is so lost.
It's sad to see someone in that condition.
Things that were so important in the past have just vanished. I so appriate your music and I find it comforting in these times when the world seems to be spinning out of control.
I can lose myself in your music even if it's for a short time. Thank You.
Thank you, sir🙏
You're absolutely brilliant ~ hope to meet you some day, if not on the upcoming tour 🤷
Whenever I hear you and your music your spirit and light transcend through the microphone. As we grow, it's a blessing in disguise.💞🌹
Beautiful. I am another person who this song resonates within, losing both parents in '19 and '20.
I can't stop watching the end of this piece - Peter's genuine passion and emotion (and his pup's views😂) is so present. It's purely inspiring and makes his music even more special. Thank you
THANK YOU, BELOVED PETER !!......".I AM, also, an Oldie but Goodie "...AND, SO, Deeply Appreciate Your Sharing from that Vantage Point ! ......Much Love.......
I was looking forward to this track. I've heard the unfinished version live during the concert. The snippets here alone blow me away. Breathtakingly good stuff!
I’m 60. Been listening to you since I was 13. You talk of memories, your music solo and with Genesis is weaved into my memories. You’ve been there through all major events in my life.
Thank you.
Just,.. Thank You !!
Beautiful song Peter.
I am 64 and still learning.
I just have to say thanks Peter for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your music and your intimate thoughts. Indeed personally you gave me a personal journey to think about with these lyrics, and I have enjoyed this track very much
I wish at one point will meet Rafa and not just his voice and comments
Thanks again ♥️
The Lead Muse for our generation. So, so glad he's back with us again.
Makes me stop and think about my life. Thanks Peter!!! Hope to see you in PA.
Simply. Beautiful. ❤
Hi Peter:
I saw you perform Supper's Ready in Rochester when I was in college in the 70's. Had a music major friend who turned me on to your early music with Genesis. I must say, over the years I've had the deeply emotional experience listening to the end of the song Supper's Ready (what a masterpiece the entire album is), when you sing:
Lord of Lords, King of Kings
Has returned to lead his children home
To take them to the new Jerusalem
In my life, one of the most profound musical experiences I've ever had, and there have been many. Many times while driving in a beautiful setting, I'll almost scream the words while singing along with the song.
I must also say, you have delivered to me so many times in so many different ways through the years. The emotional power in the son "Signal To Noise", when you sing:
Man, I'm losing sound and sight
Of all those who can tell me wrong from right
When all things beautiful and bright sink in the night
Absolutely crushes me and makes me weep when I hear it and am alone. Saw you preform it in a Casino in Connecticut.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to getting to know your new music.
Thank you for all of the deep experiences that will certainly be stored in my memory to revisit when memories have mostly faded. They are permanently etched.
Much love and respect, 🌿

So great to see Peter Gabriel like this ... what a journey with him and his music and his voice over the past decades ... Hold on!
Ever since I heard 'Daddy Long Legs' at the 02 in London, November 2013, I wondered how the lyrics would develop. Here they are fully formed now and finally let free. It's been a long time coming.
Love having early access to these videos.
Your music has been with me all my life and today I feel you have been calling me to comfort me....
Thank you for your art for your wisdom and I feel connected to your soul , when your soul sing it heals ....
Peter, so glad to see you keeping at what has been a part of so many lives for so long. I started the 80s as a young teen, and ended as a young adult with so many of your songs helping to guide, accompany me along the way. The beauty you brought to my life and the world was and is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you Mr Gabriel. It is a great gift after 36 years when you published the Video-Art of "Big Time". I have always been impressed by the importance of Time in your work... and the way you express it from your heart.
One more great moment. And Rafa sounds like a proper dog!
Goodness! Peter Gabriel's talent is endless!
He's like the Horn Of Plenty ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Peter, just wanted mention your theme of time with this particular track and how it got me thinking. Believe it or not, at age 62 I am a fairly recent discoverer of your music in any meaningful sense. I served with the RAF from the mid/late 70's to the late 80's, at the height of the cold war and terrorism around the UK and Europe. I spent a great deal of time serving overseas and that experience made me somewhat oblivious to normal everyday life and culture that most young men live through. Strange as it may seem, I have known your name for much of my life, and yet only recently really discovered your music. In some sense I am kind of grateful that this was later in life ,as I believe I have a much greater appreciation and feel for your music. I think as we age we are able clear much of the clutter from our consciousness, freeing us to experience things in a very different way. I do very much appreciate what you do for everyone. Thank you.
Garry, it looks like we served in the military about the same time. I served in the United States Marine Corps 1973 to 1977. BTW, my ancestors came from Derbyshire. Also some from Scotland, not sure what part. Stay safe and Semper Fidelis from an old Marine Sergeant.
I love your music I have been listening to you since I was 14 , I will see you Vancouver BC Canada October 7th thank you kindly
52 and yes playing for time with everyone else good luck.
Thank you. Thank you for elevating my life.
Wow, simply wow. Intricate and pure. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Peter you are a beautiful creator. thank you for sharing yourself with all of us for all of these years❤
J'ai 52 ans et cette chanson me rappelle les bons moments passés avec mon meilleur ami René qui est parti à 69 ans en ce début d'année 🙏. la mémoire lui manquait au fil du temps... les conversations musicales et son jeu de guitare atypique resteront à jamais gravés dans ma mémoire.
Merci Peter ! 🎶💖
We can't stop crying. ¿Cómo puede alguien componer así? Love your music and your persona. Infinite love from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mariana Masetto & Ariel Gato.Te amamos!
A real King is that who never looses his Majesty. Deep thoughts, following a pace of time - inexorable, indispensable - reflections about our life, what we did, what we won and lost, experiences and its richness... Thanks always, Peter for the inspiration!
Thank you for being, for creating this song and your words on this film 🌹
Hi Peter👋🏼 very happy for The new album. Love it. ❤️
Simply beautiful, thank you Peter for this wonderful song. So looking forward to hearing the whole album
Amazingly beautiful thank you for sharing I hope to see it performed live
How exciting! So happy to have you back on the full moon! Cheers!
Wonderful voice. As always
Respect!!!🎶
Beautiful! Thank you, sir.
I hear what you are saying you are so good at getting the meaning of a song/story over and clear Thanks from a long time fan Noel
Bless you Mr Peter, I love your music so much. 🌹☮️☀️🙏
Love You Peter!! Beautiful!!
Peter Gabriel is amazing. He has a great voice and makes the best music. His new album is joyous! I really listen.
Sounds beautiful
Setting The Clock's Hands Out Of Time... (title of a song I wrote long ago)
Emotions are always very strong in writing and music... Love your work
Thank you so much,Gabriel,for these tremendously profound thoughts on time,memories etc.
Looking at our memories as s.th.that gives our life a sense of m e a n i n g (identification,belonging) at t h i s point of history evaporates ,as the only reason to be has become money and nobody cares about anyone's memories unless you make them money with your memories
A great musician like you,whose feelings,words wisdom and music penetrate peoples' hearts - if they have money to buy your CDs - might make a difference but here in Germany I am only surrounded by people who send me bills and are not even able to have a conversation on anything else than money...
Dead people,zombies,unawakened,mindcontrolled,blind and deaf..that's all I experience...
Such a moving and meaningful piece. As I grow older my place in this world changes. Peter somehow captures views of these moments for us to see in our own lives. What a beautiful gift this song is.
I honestly wasn't expecting Playing For Time to be such a dramatic power-ballad with highly intelligent lyrics and emotional vocals from Peter. Smashed it out of the park!
Wow!
Just the teaser smote me to the soul.
Thank you Peter you've always been there for me, in the past, since i was a kid and an adult and have seen my, now grown, kids turn to your music for comfort and enjoyment.. Bless You.
We do need to see a little furthur ❤⚡💙
My mom has dementia. Awe Peter. Love your message about the song
Beautiful song thank you Peter..
Just brilliant thank you for the many years of music on pointe always.!
My favorite one yet- just stunning PG. Beautiful job sir🙌🏼
Thank you! 🍀✨🍀✨👍
Listening to you speak makes me not feel so bad for spending an exorbitant amount of money to see you perform in NY in September. It was a "bucket-list" purchase. Hope we both make it there.
