SOTM - Peter Gabriel, In Your Eyes
: :

Okay, so maybe I should've called this SOTM (Song of the Month) since I can't seem to post one on a weekly basis. This selection does'nt come from the Say Anything soundtrack. A lot of people seem to think this song is worthwhile because of Lloyd Dobler, but I know better. This song was epic before Say Anything was even released. The album was even more epic: Kate Bush sings backup vocals, Stewart Copeland (The Police) does percussion and it was produced by Daniel Lanois (U2 producer). It doesn't get any better. I can listen to this album over and over and it never gets old.


In Your Eyes
Peter Gabriel - So, 1986

Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

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
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And 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
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes, In your eyes
In your eyes, In your eyes
In your eyes, In your eyes
