PETER GABRIEL has released another new song from his o\i album, titled ‘I Belong to the Sky.’
According to Gabriel himself, this song was originally considered for his most recent album, i/o, but wasn’t fully finished until now. In a statement, the singer said that “it was always one of my favorites.”
You can listen to ‘I Belong to the Sky’ below.
“The starting point of the song was the timpani tom-tom pattern which was inspired by an old film called Jazz on a Summer’s Day which featured a wonderful drummer called Chico Hamilton,” Gabriel continued.
“I think he was the pioneer of the use of timpani sticks on the toms and I always loved that sound; calm and hypnotic. It set a really strong mood for me and the song grew up around it.”
As he has been doing now for several months, ‘I Belong to the Sky’ arrives on a full moon. Before this track, Gabriel already released six others: ‘A Hard Lesson,’ ‘Won’t Stand Down,’ ‘Till Your Mind Is Shining,’ ‘What Lies Ahead,’ ‘Put Down the Bucket’ and ‘Been Undone.’
Each song has ‘Dark-Side’ and ‘Bright-Side’ mixes, with the second mixes arriving during each month’s new moon, the same pattern Gabriel followed with his previous album.
