Music Monday - In Your Eyes!

The list of things I learn on Music Mondays never ends. I've always liked the song "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. In fact, I've grown to appreciate it more in my later years. It's not a song I enjoy dancing to or grooving to. It's merely a song I enjoy listening and reflecting to.


I learned today that "In Your Eyes" was written about Gabriel's one-time girlfriend, actress Rosanna Arquette, after an attempted reconciliation ended in failure.

Now, some of the lyrics make more sense to me:

All my instincts, they return

and the grand facade, so soon will burn

without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

In Your Eyes

I'm posting two videos, the shorter one and the longer live version. You can definitely see and hear the African influence in the second video. Take your pick or listen to them both.

Thanks for listening.
