So Much (Bright-Side Mix)

**

So much unfinished business
All sticky with desire
Raking through the empty shells
Of all the rockets we fired
Set the navigation
For the Earth all warm and wet
And as the longing drops away
The compass is reset
Oh, there's so much to aim for
You can shoot at the sun
But all of it just comes and goes
There's only so much can be done
Time slips in the mirror
As an old man, I was born
But I've grown to be a baby
With a halo and a horn
Burn up like a lightning bolt
All gone within a flash
You look around to find a home
Where the asteroid will crash
Oh, there's so much to live for
So much left to give
This edition is limited
There's only so much can be done
The body stiffens, tires and aches
In its wrinkled, blotchy skin
With each decade, more camouflage
For the wild eyed child within
Now close your eyes for a moment
Look down and look above
All the warmth inside of you
Comes from those you love
Oh, there's so much to live for
So much left to give
This edition is limited
There's only so much can be done
So much to aim for
Shooting up at the sun
When it all comes and goes
There's only so much can be done
So much can be done
Only so much can be done

Peter Gabriel - Road to Joy released

It seems rare these days to find artists who have been around for decades not trading in on nostalgia or becoming a parody of (or tribute to) themselves. Peter is one such artist who has embraced change and technology to move forward and evolve. Having said that, I am in no way against any artist preserving their musical heritage and presenting it to the fans who want to re-experience it or the new generations who are discovering the music for the first time.

I am looking forward to seeing Peter live in 2023!

This took me by surprise, listening first and thinking "Genesis?" with a hint of Townsend guitar (a la "Tommy"/Pinball Wizard).

And then I saw: yes, New! From Peter Gabriel. Master and legend, in fine fettle here. [Merci, Sylvie!]

Panopticom (Bright Side Mix)

From Vulture, describing this song and Gabriel's intention of releasing new material on full moons...

It took about 20 years, but we’re finally getting a taste of Peter Gabriel’s magnum opus … on the full moon … on the Sabbath? Never mind, it’s just a regular weekday. Gabriel has announced his long-gestating album i/o will be released in 2023, which will be guided by the lunar phases for its remaining rollout. Astrologers could tell you that lead track, “Panopticom” — a word that’s already an adversary to spell-check — was unveiled on the first full moon of the year, and Gabriel says that each subsequent song will follow the same ritual. “Panopticom,” which features electronics from ambient king Brian Eno, was inspired by Gabriel’s idea “to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe.” i/o will further explore those themes. “Some of what I’m writing about this time,” he adds, “is the idea that we seem incredibly capable of destroying the planet that gave us birth and that unless we find ways to reconnect ourselves to nature and to the natural world we are going to lose a lot.” The last full moon is December 26, so …
