Tagged by to list four songs I’ve had on repeat. Nothing Compares 2 U (tied with Mandinka) - Sinéad O'Connor. This song gets stuck in my head every so often. I also went back to her first album, The Lion and the Cobra, which is where Mandinka comes from.Ģ. I shouldn’t say this out loud, but I was kind of neutral about this song until it got stuck in my head and I started singing it to myself. It wasn’t until the words “I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes” came out of my mouth that the beauty of it hit me. And “The resolution of all the fruitless searches” just stops me in my tracks. Whether or not it was written for/about Rosanna Arquette, I don't know. I discovered her on here the other night (I think I was going tags), and all I have to say is, stream Walkin' My Cat Named Dog.Ĥ. The Secret World Live version with Paula Cole is seriously catchy and the one I’ve been listening to the most. Her voice adds so much to even the most throwaway tracks-and I don’t even think of it as one I know he does. It’s exactly the kind of tension breaker that a heavy album like Us needs. I like the sleazy-sexy vibe.Peter Gabriel has been a solo artist for over 37 years now, and in that time he has managed to release a grand total of eight proper studio albums. For the mathematically challenged, that works out to about one record ever four and a half years or so. Thankfully, Gabriel’s multiple film soundtrack contributions over the years have helped to satisfy his fans’ cravings for anything new from the former Genesis frontman.Īs a Gabriel fanatic myself, I know how hard it often is to collect soundtrack recordings. No one likes paying $14.99 for a CD for one song (hello, Phenomenon soundtrack!), but obsessive collectors like myself have little or no choice in the matter. The way I see it, the least I can do is share the (what used to be my) wealth with the wonderful readers of the Analog Kid blog. Note: by no means is this a definitive collection of Peter Gabriel’s soundtrack work. Peter Gabriel: “Strawberry Fields Forever” (Lennon/McCartney)įrom the soundtrack All This And World War II Did I interrupt the writing of this blog to go jump in my car and track down one of those songs at my local used CD shop? You’re damn right I did… I have excluded many songs that can easily be found on Peter’s own albums, and I even discovered a few songs that I do not own while doing research for this post. Gabriel made his solo debut with this contribution to the bizarre All This And World War II film and soundtrack. Peter Gabriel: “Walk Through The Fire” (Gabriel) Nothing says World War II footage like covers of Beatles songs, right? I remember seeing the movie on subscription ON TV while growing up in Southern California, but I had forgotten all about it until I stumbled upon the soundtrack about a year ago. The current and former frontmen of Genesis duked it out on side one of the Against All Odds soundtrack. Nile Rodgers co-produced “Out Out” along with Gabriel. I have never seen any actual copies of the Gremlins soundtrack on CD, although supposedly they do exist…ĭisclaimer: I do not actually own the Hard To Hold soundtrack– the CD is long out of print, and most vinyl copies seem to have been destroyed by dry-humping teenage girls. I created this mp3 by editing the version of “I Go Swimming” from Gabriel Plays Live, but that should suffice as the versions are supposed to be identical.
