My man Mojique

I just love this cover from Brian Éno and Talking headz

best singer of all time..

great!!!

Simply Sublime

Perfect cover for Pete.

Мужик!

Music is so personal. Never got Talking Heads, that said, I absolutely adore "Once in a lifetime" and "Listening Wind" in fact Listening Wind" could be played at my funeral. This is not a bad version but sometimes the song you hear first attaches itself to your heart. Don't get me wrong I love Peter Gabriel. Pete's version "Heroes" is a knock out.

Such beauty in its passion and pain of this song. I think it is better than the original. I can’t get it out of my head.

Heard this on The Americans!

Aamir Khan Me Too ! Very cool.

Yep and it has become an itch I keep trying to scratch

Chilling. The song, not me. And chilling as in mortifying.

Quoi dire... fermes les yeux et laisses toi porter par ses sons

мужик

Wonderful cover of a great song. Went to see the scratch my back tour with orchestra in 2010, it was amazing. And not to forget.

the starbucks version for venti mocha latte motherfuckers.

I didn't care for this album, but this cover went above and beyond. As good as the original. Very cinematic.

BTW, Mojique is the Holy Spirit

A lot of David Byrne's stuff stays with one (like Leonard Cohen's - I'm afraid to listen to his music because I can't get it out of my head for weeks.) But this is a great, unique version. It doesn't hurt many of the Talking Heads' records (and early U2s) were produced by Brian Eno, he of the ambient music frontier.

a great version.

esta canción estaba en mi sueño

Currently obsessed with this. It's unlike any song I've ever heard, even considering that it's a cover.

It is a thing!

A mountain underwater...

try Tuxedomoon

Strange, it has the same effect on me.... I keep listening to it over and over...beautiful and sad .

You might like the album Hounds of Love my Kate Bush

As much as I love Pete, Remain In Light ought to remain in the light it cast upon the future 36 years ago.

Words alone can not even begin to give this justice, so lets be and enjoy.

great cover

That was amazing. I did not know Peter did a cover of this..always an old favorite. YouTube is really working for me today. Amazing.

The notorious cunning of the British Government in the AIDS Onslaught had the utility of a Ptolemaic universe: people used it for a long time, but it was wrong. Their reasoning was stage-managed by the mystical obscurantist, a gurgling buzzard of torture and sadism, the evil, tyrannical viper, coward Fripp of King Crimson in service to HitlerReagan, it was conceived totally as a Leslie Katz-centric universe.

Logically you could ask, if the assailants knew that their victim had
an impacted neurotrauma would they have shown mercy? It is an
illogical question born to torment the mind even further, because the
murderers had impacted the injury in order to target it for the
deepest humiliation, and for nothing would they stop.

@Harate San   I stand by my testimony.  I am about to turn 56 years old.  A deaf man.  In high school, I hitchhiked to St. Louis just to hear the murderer Fripp play.  I gave wonderful copy to Peter Gabriel at my school.  I tried for years to struggle with impacted neurotrauma from child torture.  These filth brutally attacked me in an impacted injury they knew about, had the girl who taught me sign language raped, and continue to cyberstalk me as a deaf Honors student able to attend school at last because I learned sign.  Had these virulents helped me as a young man, rather than spread hideous, criminally insane slanders to anyone who would listen, I could have been a happily married father.  Instead, they used me for their deranged and damaged war game, furiously authoring a prohibition against my being anything but isolated in a military heist built on deceit.  Their webs of lies is iron like Hitler and the screams of their victims will never die as well.

@Harate San
Ya know?! lol.

@frere jacques   Not even Trump illustrates so savagely what murdering pig millionaire jokers will do when they have a mark they can work on in their recreational fetish of sadism.  Well Penis Gabriel makes Trump look like a Roman savior.  He is a raping, child-raping, slasher ripper hatter seething with lies, infamies, malice, leers and greed.  A maniac without charisma who lured a child to dismemberment and called it a BBQ. 

Some uh.. fascinating thoughts there.

@Harate San Former insider report.  Dependable.

sublime!

Is Mojique sending bombs?

Actually Ivonne, Mojique is not the speaker. It is 3rd person, not 1st.

Except in the chorus... ' the wind in my heart, the dust in my hair, the wind in my heart, will drive them away' is 1st person.

Mojique is the Holy Spirit

Ivonne Diaz What the hell are you getting on about? He was right

A song about american expansionism,still relevant now as it was in vietnam

Mojique now lives in syria.Thanks for your constructive input

Now yemen

Credibility 100% when PG plays in Gaza, if ever.

Better Than original from Talking Heads ;)

wow. you actually triggered me. i'm fucking pissed. i'm ready to insult your family and your constitution. you're fucking out of your mind. its not even fucking close. dust in your head no doubt.

Gabriel deserves every respect but your comment deserves one big "FUCK YOU". Sorry.

of course not !!!!

Manu di Caminu yes

Cool cover of this song.  Original lyrics by David Byrne (Talking Heads).

Song writing at its finest. You don't see this kind of work anymore.

You do it's just a shame that it's so rare.

+Smyth Welton As much as Peter respects the Heads, he should've left this alone.

ohhhhhh what a song
what a peter gabriel
really awsome -- really

I love this track :-)

I listened to this song a lot when I was younger and I only now understand it's meaning...thank you.

Fantástico!

Amazing how Byrne captures this thought of actions that will become normal in a time just beyond when he was writing. Now we accept terrorist bombers as a part of life, without understanding them at all...this song bridges a gap, if we can understand the 'why' maybe we can change something. Gabriel covering it now, when terrorists are seemingly a job choice, brings this idea home again that maybe something can be done before the trigger is pushed in the marketplace.

No, it is Gabriel's tribute to artists he admires. Not doing his own songs is the point of the album.

LOVE this album !!! Can listen to it again & again & again. Gabriel's :New Blood orchestra is another masterpiece !!! He, as always outshines himself !!!

Boy in the Bubble is a Paul Simon song. Are there any songs on this album that Gabriel actually wrote?

And do go and tell the people of Iraq what wonderful folks we are. I'm sure they've completely forgotten the over 100,000 citizens dead because of our "liberation".

Ah, the song of jingoism. Never ends, so long as humans have monkey brains.

Try to get it straight. The United States of America has liberated more people, stopped more despots, aided in more natural disasters, educated more foreigners, accepted more foreigners, and given more charity than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN HISTORY. Period.

I have so much music on my ipod, that it bleeds into one. Primus covers peter gabriel, then peter gabriel covers talking heads.

This is an amazing cover. The treatment really suits the tale told.

People tend to forget History a little too much ... Today the consequences of what has been done comes back like a boomerang and I think it's totally normal

The whole CD is made up of covers.

* This is a David Byrne, Talking Heads number.

HOPE TO SING THIS TOGETHER WITH PETER NEXT SATURDAY 07.07 PORTUGAL! A DREAM TO BECOME TRUE: DAVIDS LYRICS WITH PETERS HEART!

This is a great performance but this is a talking heads song he is covering :)

sabre6986 - That’s the point. Peter did some artist’s work, while they did his. It was a song exchange.

Question his motives? What are you talking about? He liked this song and recorded it. Are you going to "question the motives" of every musician who covers another's songs? You'll be mighty suspicious of just about EVERY musician out there, then.

I love this song so much. How often do you hear a song about a "terrorist"...from the point of view of the terrorist? It captures what we in America do NOT want to hear - that we are not welcome everywhere, that our influence is not necessarily good, that we are not the righteous angels we like to think we are. That our presence is actually harmful to huge swaths of people around the world. Byrne gets that, and captured it beautifully here.

It's the same now.look at the middle east, & look at Lybia, just to mention a bit of the whole thing. Killing& stealing the oil in the name of freedom and democracy. Supporting rightwing dictatorships in SouthAmerica in order to keepthe status and control of the resources. Slavering poor people all around the world with a degrading salary inorder to produce ourclothing and materialistic whims. The saddest thing is that every country would do the same thing if they had the power to do so.

@adamtzsch yes, please listen to the original version, has less hits than this one. Although what's the problem??

@talyesin3 yeah its not the indians hunted the sloths, wild horses, saber-toothed tigers, camels and mammoths in america to extinction.... Humans are destructive, the europeans were just more effective than the rest of the world

the wind in my heart the dust in my head... muy grosso david byrne 1980!

Nobody love Pete more than I do...but you have to question his motives. The original version of this was untouchable...

K this is just awesome

Graces, Peter. Your music touches the most authentic thing of me itself.

@ParisSpleen74 there are two meanings one is positive other is negative

beautiful version. . .

America dropped nuclear bombs on Japan and occupied them militarily yet they still managed to become the 3rd most powerful economic country on the planet. Its time to rise above and overcome your provincial racist views and finally grow up.

It is a fallacy of the most disastrous consequences to assume that formerly colonized people are the way they are because of white people. Its a conspiracy theory that is just as grotesque as the Nazi conspiracy theory of Jewish intervention in all countries to exploit them for their own ends. The Jews themselves have been one of the most persecuted people that have ever been discriminated against yet they have managed to become the richest ethnic minority in America.

traders. In fact, another benefit that the Europeans brought to Africa was the criminalization of slavery, which while Europeans obviously fervently and passionately engaged in slavery among themselves and other peoples just like EVERY other people in existence they were nonetheless the FIRST to criminalize it and ENFORCE it via imperialism.

but the colonies were actually a loss to the mother country of the colonists. It cost them much more than they gained to maintain the colonizations than they ever recieved from the actual colonization. Prior to the Europeans Africans for instance, never even had nation-states. That was due to Eurpean invention. So was education and medical care that was more advanced than witch doctor voodoo. Evil things like slavery existed prior to European intervention among the native peoples and Arab slave

@ Rael-Not really. This is just due to your racist attitude toward whites. You are either a non-white racist or you are a self loathing racist, but you are a racist nonetheless. If you actually look at the historical record blacks in Africa were a primitive tribal society prior to European colonization. And if you look at that record honestly and not through your racist lense, you will see that they blacks in Africa were actually not only better off in Africa when EUropeans colonized them,

I love this take on a Talking Heads classic. Gabriel know exactly what he wants with each of his choices with these covers. They have been chosen because of the strength of each. This is not like a rap cover of classic rock beats...Peter Gabriel took each song and gave it his touch of class.

The dust in my hand is driven away...

so beautiful...

This tune is one bastard of a monster building up a hell of a soul train. If you're afraid of clouds, then don't listen this version when it comes to a thunderstorm outside your hut. Btw, what does Gabriel think about Einstürzende Neubauten?

@PartiedOutPhil While i agree with you that Talking Heads are a brillaint band i dont think you have given Peter Gabriel credit for his brilliant unique style---both are as good as each other

Beautiful song

@raelraven2 very well said, but may be a bit too thoughtful for you tube!

@PartiedOutPhil I wholeheartedly disagree.....this song is amazing.

This is beautiful song! I have goosebumps!

.....SIGH.... Gabriel should try to learn what he can and can't do. Talking Heads are like zeppelin, uncoverable. At least we know he is as blown away by this song as we all are.

thank you for 25 yaers ....

thank you for 25 yaers ....

This is extremely cool!

I love this. Both versions are excellent, and speak to different phyles. I like the original more, but this one has its place... I love the fact that the intelligence of the white man has been co-opted by the struggle of the natives, and that the truth comes out, no matter what the oppressor does. The oppressor has elements of truth within him... So beautiful. The free trade zone will be the death of the white market. SEK3 is right about that. :D

There's so much he could have done with this. The strings are beautiful, but everything else is just WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too tonal.

Byrne, more philosopher, is at a distance, Peter Gabriel, more poet, gives the words of genius David more nearby passion .... Both are a great tributes to the 'eternal indian'.

Kippenvel!

@Skidonti I agree. I like the Talking Heads version because it is haunting and suspenseful. Peter's version is awesome as it centers on the apprehension and tension and hopeless of the main character. His like version of this song is with a full orchestra is awesome.

I think both versions are beautiful. Peters voice has that sadness which grips you and makes you want to cry.This song is very similar to some of his own material.I'd love Peter and Dave to collaborate and make an album !!
Both true artists.

Ruined a great song. The arrangement is truly dreadful.

Love this cover with PGs voice and the flowing strings like wind. In fact, the only thing I think hasn't been improved is the interesting beats from the original.

They both sound totally different, but I think the message is finally fully displayed here.

sad first album without tony levin really sad
