FIRST TIME HEARING Peter Gabriel- Mercy Street | REACTION 

I shed a tear every time I hear this song, so deeply beautiful and hauntingly perfect. Mercy!!!..

The only song I have ever heard that has a Triangle solo instead of a guitar solo. Peter Gabriel has been changing music, how it is written, recorded and perceived, for over 50 years now. He started with his high school friends in their band, Genesis. On RU-vid people have shared film and video of early-1970s Genesis in concert --- video footage that was not thought to exist at all. May I recommend that you seek out pre-1975 Genesis, for that is the year that Gabriel left the band and drummer Phil Collins took over as lead vocalist, songs like "The Musical Box", "Watcher of the Skies" and their masterpiece, "Supper's Ready", with all of Gabriel's theatrics and mime and costume changes. Good job, Sarah! ----OronOfMontreal

Peter Gabriel is just amazing. You should listen to his song Red Rain as well.

One of my all time favorites by Peter Gabriel. Such a sad story. May she rest in peace

This man has saved my life too many times for me to count, hauntingly beautiful music

The live video, from his concert recorded in Athens 1987, moved me to tears when I attended that show in Montreal and in Ottawa. It is available for you to see, on RU-vid. --OronOfMontreal

Im a fan of peter Gabriel but never heard this song. Thanks. This song reminds me of his duet with Kate Bush: Dont Give Up

The Song, Mercy Street, is a Song about Poet Ann Sexton, to her wranglings with her Mortality, and to her eventual Suicide.

I've been asking reaction channels for AGES to react to Mercy Street. Yours is the only one I've found, so far. THANK YOU!!!

Love that song! Peter is a master singer and songwriter puts chills right down my spine.

Wow, thank you so much, Sarah! I did'nt expect you to listen to my suggestion so quick! I'm happy you like the song. It's one of my all time favourites. Love your reaction, too, and I always was hounted by the melody and the beautiful voice of the singer.

this is a special song, so much symbolism... Peter is truly a unique artist

I went to high school in the 80s and I never heard this song before. Very beautiful, poetic song!

Beautiful song! I really enjoyed that😊

Love that song. Thank you for listening.

I think you would like this young lady.Peter Gabriel ft. The Blind Boys of Alabama - Sky Blue. Cheers and stay safe.

wow

One of best albums ever

Don't Give Up Red Rain Big Time Love your reactions! ❤️

A beautiful song.❤

Normally I don't comment, but you obviously "get" this masterpiece. So I would like you to enjoy what - in my opinion - are Peter's finest versions: 1. The live version from Athens in 1987. 2. The "William Orbit" remix. And 3. The 9-minute live version from the "So" Tour (I believe). Happy listening. You also might want to check out Peter's cover of "The Power of the Heart" from the 2012 New Blood Tour, "Signal to Noise" from either the early 2000's Growing Up Tours or the Orchestral Version on the aforementioned New Blood Tour, and of course, his ubiquitous cover of Arcade Fire's "My Body is a Cage," also from the 2012 New Blood Tour. I believe these songs will "change your life" in the way only music can. And if you haven't yet discovered "Playing For Change, please do. They have been changing the world with great music for over two decades. Keep up the good work!

You are a beautiful person 😊

I am old snd my favorite word is "mercy".

Beautiful watching you move with the song

You are beautiful

Anne apparently found no mercy from her father, family or friends, although they may have offered it. She took her own life on October 4th, 1974.
