Stunning. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, PG's voice is one that never fails to pierce my soul. I think he could sing a jingle for a toilet bowl cleaner and I'd probably still end up in tears!
Peter Gabriel's December message in which he talks about a number of projects he has been involved such as Witness and also bigs up Emmanuel Jal's 'We want Peace' project. Towards the end of this video he performs an exclusive, informal version of his 1982 song 'Wallflower' which was inspired through seeing the work of Amnesty. This simply features PG accompanied beautifully by pianist Tom Cawley. 'Wallflower' is one of PG's songs selected for the 'New Blood' record featuring full orchestral arrangements. It is in support of Mary Robinson, one of the innovative peacemakers, The Elders.
"Peter Gabriel, Wallflower, lest we forget..."
