Peter Gabriel - Modern Love Lyrics

Wonderful album

Good song, best listened to on the radio :)

Peter was a gorgeous piece of work....even when he was singing a totally perverted song.

he was horny

That's it, my demons are laid bare, ill never ever ever ever>> EVER!!! have any more quams about using reverb and delay>> EVER!!! classic, and>> and: 1:40. im touched. appludsssss.. edited on my bad time stamp

52 people have never been loved.

i don t think Peter can do that kind of stretch today!!😉

Great Artist

love it

Haha, so weird, I love it

look Skywalker Lol

Peter always succeed to disturb

Par moment sa voix me fait penser à celle Tom Petty .

love it

I love this song, but this is one god awful music video...

Interesting to finally see this in perfect quality. I have a poor quality boot on VHS since the 80's.

Metaphoric!!!

Magnums all new and improved protection mop level 4, protects you from fall ins, fallouts, after action reports, a real show proper, its a lot to don, just for a red hot magneto, but better safe then sorry. I still have all the albums when they came out at that time , this first is my favorite ,

Horrible video, although videos were scarce in '77. I guess they had to start somewhere.

Sheer brilliance

"She gave me the wink then she showed me the freezer." priceless

Une des meilleures intro que je connaisse !

Does anyone know who is on that card board cut out?

Genesis but without the original members Would not looked out of place on their first album without peter

Brilliant! where was I hiding when this was out? Never heard it until today.

The awful video is a big part of its charm. Everything about it screams "weirdo with a $100 budget in 1977".

Sounds like Bruce Springsteen

Peter Gabriel Modern Love =/= David Bowie Modern Love

Entertaining video really showcased his innate theatrical abilities. On a trivia sidenote, one of few PG media offerings that reveals his tall stature.

Like a very warped version of Michael Jackson dancing!!!!

My favourite Gabriel video.Can remember this on tv when i was just 7yrs old.This video got stuck in my mind for long time.

Great rock song, excellent lyrics. Cheesy video doesn't do it any justice at all.

we either make fun of it or enjoy the dance moves is there a middle ground?

great track ... amusing lyrics ha

Classic Pern

The song has held up well, released 40 years ago. The video, not so much.

I love his moves, original and a bit snake-like. I think it serves the song well with the continuous hecticness of Peter

How about a coincidence, just recently heard this on the radio and love listening to it ,never heard it before or had i ? Looking through my late father s records and guess what i find ....great track 👍

Not enough double entendre.

This video was inspiration for Jamiroquai 's virtual insanity for sure!

Top 10 anime intros

Man, this bass is so carving

Tony Levin: first and always.

Oh, boy... I'm so happy I didn't see this as a teen. I had a huge crush on him and a bad sense of humour. This would have had me incredibly confused and embarrassed :') It's hilarious now. The crazy moves are strangely cool.

Gabriel goes MTV

nice pauldrons bro.

I didn't know a video from this song existed... And after seeing it, I wish it wouldn't.

Happy Anniversary, Peter Gabriel (1) (Car).

AHHHHH! Genius.

Filmed, I believe, in the West 12 shopping centre in London's Shepherd's Bush. The footage is interesting, but it definitely needed a decent editor to make better use of the clips. Still a very entertaining watch though.

An Incredible Underrated Song.

Brilliant song. Stunning video.

The gear he wore is either from lacrosse or some other sport... Or so I'd guess.

LOVE THE PETER GABRIEL MOVE'S ( SEXY MAN ) :) SEXY 1977 PETER :)

sublime

Brian pern version is better!

O prtimeiro sucesso depois do Karma Genesis não tem como esquecer....... Peter Gabriel !!!

This is the first time I have seen this video...eh, quite embarrassing actually, does he know the words of the song? The models are beautiful maybe there should have been more of them featured. At least he still had some humour back then and wasn't ruined by politics zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ruined by politics? Oh, you mean speaking out against despotic governments that torture dissidents and starve and kill their own people? You don't belong here, go away, fuck off.

Great, great tune. Shite, shite, video.

You spelled awesome wrong.

Peter Gabriel #1 is the best, i wish he could write more songs like this. I think Peter over thinks things and then you get songs like (I'm Amazing) it's hard to get into it. :(

Love the David Bowie 'do Pete!

I love MODERN LOVE and most of Gabriel's solo debut but the production is overcooked with reverb and echo. Wish PG would remix it...........

The best jam bass of all time

Brian pern

+Karl Wells My love is the window, yours is the pane.

I want a snack but your fridge door is shut

PG genio de genios !!

I love this song and album. Peters crazy moves make the video for personally, but than I like my PG cray cray

Brian Pern

Needs more cowbell

Bad film clip. Good song though. The king of the power chord, Steve Hunter, delivers on guitar. Just like he did on Sweet Jane.

+John Seabrook Only ABBA were making decent videos in 1977 pretty much.

That's probably true Matt. Ever seen ACDC's Jailbreak from the same era? Shot at a quarry in outer suburban Melbourne. Must've cost hundreds to make!

Peter sang this duct taped to a pillar in the middle of the studio.

+hisvorpalsword I trusted his penis was untouched in Herschel.

JAJAJAJ QUE GENIO PETER!!!!

Try this, someone in 2015!

+Jeff MusicMan Try this someone? I have tried that someone and found that someone lacking.

Fuck off

Does anyone know what's the significance of that ring on PG's right middle finger? Sometimes I see on his right ring finger but mainly on his middle.

To make you ask. When does anybody ask something like that now?

+Valerie Marie Rings on middle fingers denote drive and ruthlessness.

I always wonder that too. He doesn't wear it nowadays

I totally want to do this next time I'm in an airport.

I love Peter, and this video is awesome! One of the best videos ever

Peter Gabriel - Brian Pern
Genesis - Thotch
Modern Love - Love is Modern
Intruder - Naughty Man
Biko - Chinese Meal
Sledgehammer - Spirit Level

In the 70s, gentlemen all wore motocross gear and a fencing mask on dates.

Did they, also, go to a Movie and stick their Peter thru the bottom of a Tub O' Pot Roasted Salisbury Steaks? Me, too. Small world

Classic motoX gear

Great song, but not a very good video at all.  Too many long takes that started to look silly.  Needed some actual editing.

+Porfle Popnecker Videos hadn't quite come into their own at this point. I think ABBA were the only people making slick videos back then.

wow wow

I love this!! Great energy. Thank you.

Is tis EBOLA

Peter Gabriel - king of videoclips.

I'm sure Peter wishes every copy of this video would spontaneously combust lol.  Great song though.

nutty yes.so HAD to be!!!

The structure of this song has so much of "The Who" in it, especially the guitar flourishes that I wonder if Pete Townsend ever checked his recordings to see if he actually wrote it.  I'm not trying to put "Modern Love" down as it's a classic,but it certainly does sound like a Who song.

Peter Gabriel is a pretentious egomaniac? You mean Pete Townshend, right? Peter Gabriel comes across as so shy. I couldn't see him having a huge ego.

Andy Parkinson how is Peter an ego maniac? I genuinely want to know why you believe this. I don't want to argue, just simply hear why.

It also sounds like a lesser known Brit band that I cannot remember - a guy's name that starts with an F? Anyone know?

TheNightmare75II His ego blew him out of Genesis for goodness sakes

Fripp.... as in Robert Fripp.

Thanks very much for posting this! I had somehow missed this video's existence. It's outstanding!

my Angel Gabriel!  I love Peter Gabriel forever!

Arcangelo mio!

:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))


tra i GRANDI!!!!

Just listen to "on the Air"
MOZO is nuts

How have I never seen this until now? 

Can't believe this didn't chart well as a single - I rate this over David Bowie's Modern Love, for sure (I know they're totally different songs, burt I'm going to compare them anyway!)

@Matt Maloney I don't have a problem with light. I think this is quite 'light' compared to a lot of stuff Peter's ever done. But I still think it's quite good, and deserved more airplay.

+imjustsomeguy72 I don't think Modern Love is the song either Peter Gabriel or David Bowie will be remembered for. They've both done far better.

Matt Maloney I really like Bowie’s Modern Love. Nice jaundiced feel. Not light as some people seeme to perceive.

imjustsomeguy72 - Bowie's Modern Love annoys me.

They're both good. I don't think there is anything 'light' about Bowie's modern love. Although it was on his most commercial album Peter gabriel's song is quite rocky and has a great bridge. Both equally brilliant. PG can't be bad and neither can Bowie IMO

威勢の良かった若き日のおガブさん。

awesome song!!!  I love Peter Gabriel forever!!!

It is a low budget video clip?

This tune always gets me off my ass jumping up and down, you Rock Mr. Gabriel!

let me just say... dayummm! weird but awesome.

Pretty limber, yet, there, Pete.

Finally this video is out. One of my favorites.

この頃のピーターガブリエルさんは、ポップロック調の曲が多かったですね。

April fools!
Ha!

Toute ma jeunesse!
