I got my peter gabriel back!!!

my friends! i got it! i got my peter gabriel back!

what the fuck is he talking about, you're asking.

well, here's the deal:

for some reason i just happened to be listening to peter gabriel when i realized i was falling in love with the last chica i was seeing. this was a few months ago.

and i just haven't been able to stomach one of my favorite soul singers ever since. i was so fucking pissed at her for making me allergic to peter gabriel!!! seriously, i was beginning to get very pissed the fuck off.

but then, just recently, i was in a bookstore when that very song came on and i smiled and started groovin and a light bulb went on and i got super charged 'cuz i got MY MUTHAFUCKING PETER GABRIEL BACK!

Youtopia delivers

very impressed with adam young.

he is a testament to my theory that phrasing is everything in lyrical music.

mozart wrote it. puccini wrote it. coltrane wrote it. peter fucking gabriel wrote it.

and now adam young is writing it.


having armin van buuren back it up makes it even more badass.

phrasing. phrasing is everything.

it's fucking magic.

Still has it

i know some people consider this 'just that cheesy song from say anthing' but fuck that.

this is a really good song.

really fucking good.

peter gabriel's background as a soul singer -- one who truly pushed the limits of phrasing and of what we consider might sound... good -- makes this gut wrenching confessional as emotional as it is musical.

it's really good.

seriously. just close your eyes and listen to it and see how long before your hairs are all standin' up.
