    I saw Peter Gabriel in 1985 on his tour following the release of his 4th album. The last song he sang was "Biko". When the lights went up, no one left the theatre...just a sea of flames from lighters. Incredible experience. One of a kind.

    We need this song in 2022 as much as we needed it when Peter wrote it. As many western democracies shift to the extreme right and strip away human rights, the life and spirit of Stephen Biko must inspire us all to fight injustice & stand up for those who cannot.

      Springt die flamme einem über
      Treibt der wind sie immer höher

    I saw this performed at the Human Rights Now concert in 1998, Amnesty Int' celebrating the Declaration of Human Rights. Apartheid was still in place and the audience response for this song was huge and emotional, but today we still need this, still need reminding that all lives matter, especially the historically oppressed. It's not good enough to say everyone's now equal when any population still live in poverty under consistent pervasive discrimination.
