Found out this is a cover by Peter Gabriel.

I'm super stoked you found a fix for this. Thanks brother.

That is a horrible cover of a pretty good Peter Gabriel song. Mercy Street.

And to address the purpose of the video. Violence against non-violent women is something that I'd get violent for.

Reminds me of Peter Gabriel's "Passion" album.

Somebody is dirtying the sample. That stack of videos, several of them were never declared dead. Including the Peter Gabriel video- which is my sift. Now, back to the gallows! :-)

That's neat but it needs to be overlaid with Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer

In all of his live music videos that I've seen, it seems that Peter Gabriel always does a really great job of entertaining. Not just with the stage performance, but the actual music quality itself. Most live rock performances suck. Let's face facts - it's true. I don't like saying that, but it's still the truth all the same. So good on Monsieur Gabriel for being the exception.

I like all their stuff, together and solo. I'm surprised this hasn't been sifted before now.
Also, I found a video with the original song (I think).


Yep, that's the original. There's also a Peter Gabriel version, but yeah, no.

OK, I really like Peter Gabriel, but man, he really kills the joy in every one of the songs I just listened to there (Heroes, The Boy in the Bubble and Apres Moi).

Just making them all slow and plodding and removing much of their dynamic range does not make for a good cover in my book.

so ive been reading chuck klostermann books lately, and im not sure why because im not sure that i even like chuck klostermann. chuck klostermann writes what i imagine to be the inner monologue of all men born between 1972 and 1980, and im really unsure whether or not this makes good literature. it probably doesnt.

anyhow, in sex drugs and cocoa puffs he makes an interesting assessment of woody allen and women. he credits woody allen for the success of nerdy dudes. he thinks woody allen is the reason that all women like nerdy dudes.

(i swear this is true, if you think youre a nerdy dude and you dont think girls like you, either they do and you dont know it, or you might actually just be kind of douchey)

apparently, women dont even have to be woody allen fans, or even actually see a woody allen movie, and of course women dont want woody allen because he is kind of pervy, but the success of woody allen movies and the whispers of woody allen in pop culture have left their imprint on society and made the neurotic nerd romantic and iconic. so thanks to woody allen, awkward neurotic slightly annoying dudes in ugly sweaters everywhere have a much better chance with women far out of their league.

in essence, i think what he is saying is that woody allen did for skinny nerds what john cusack did for sensitive hit men with huge record collections relatively whiny dispositions huge boom boxes and at least one peter gabriel cassette tape.

Watching videos like this, I always expect to hear Sigur Ros playing... and I love Peter Gabriel (The Last Temptation soundtrack is awesome) but, I thought the track chosen was a little too "dark" for this kind of scenery... imo

The *music was Peter Gabriel.

At first I thought this may be a cover of Peter Gabriel's Red Rain then I got a clue
