Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes 

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

One of the most beautiful songs of all time. The intro still gives me chills.

This is one of the best songs Peter Gabriel ever produced. ( producers ) Bill Laswell & Daniel Lanois . ( Songwriter) Peter Gabriel.

"In your eyes... the resolution of all the fruitless searches..." That might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Peter Gabriel is a musical genius. This song is a classic example of his ability to encapsulate pure emotion in time.

I would be lost and breathless without my savior Jesus Christ

I grew up in the 80's, that's why I'm here...LOVE this song.

I had a special friend who passed away from cancer. She would call my radio station and request this song. Thanks Pete😢

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

Someone please bring back the 80s

Miss the 80’s.

What could more beautiful than a doorway to a thousand churches...

Who else is here in 2024 🥰 I’ve always loved this song. It will never get old.

To tell someone that their eyes are so brilliant that their beauty far exceeds that of "a thousand churches", is probably the most profound compliment you can ever pay someone.

Last time, I actually loved a woman. This was our song. It's been a long time since 1991.

Definitely an unforgettable song. I don't think Peter knew how powerful of an impact this song would be on any and everyone.

The scene from say anything with john Cusack...with the radio...timeless❤

Happy 74th Birthday Peter Brian Gabriel 02/13/1950 in Surry, England. A living legend in the progressive rock genre. From Garden Wall to Genesis to his solo albums. Musical perfection. Cheers Peter Brian and many more..

This song is so layered and the lyrics so hauntingly beautiful. Maybe I am alone in this, but the lyrics are helping me work through childhood trauma…

I’m 50 now and growing up in the 80’s as a teenager when “SO “ album came out was amazing , my dad introduced it to me while driving around in his new Ford Orion ghia injection and I still love it now ! I go see my mum and dad now and a nice bottle of wine we stick that album on ! Never had an album I’ve listened to that brings back great memories ! Wish he still had the Orion

This song from Peter Gabriel never dies even though it was used in the movie, "Say Anything." 👏🏼👏🏼

A timeless classic that never gets old even 38 years later.

My wife and I danced our wedding song to this. 34 yrs and counting, we still dance to this song. This song always reminds me of her.❤️

June 23, 2024. It’s 9:37 PM & I’m laying in bed listening to this song. Love to you all.

Lost my wife to cancer in less than three months. This song means so much to me. 'In her eyes, the light, the heat, in her eyes, in her eyes, I felt complete, in her eyes'. Thank you for making me cry and also feel better. She was my world, and our 2 daughters world, gone too soon at 42 from cancer. Thank you Peter Gabriel and my heart goes out to all living beings. 🙏💔💞😭

The epitome of an ‘80s masterpiece. There are not enough words to fully summarize the 1980s. While never perfect, such a memorable decade in the course of human history when the world seemed a little less dark. Feels increasingly like it will never come again. 😔 My sincerest thanks for sharing this timeless classic. 🙏🏻

This song is simply a masterpiece.

One of the best albums ever, not just the 80's. "So" is a masterpiece. This and "Red Rain" just strip my soul bare.

So. One of the most perfect albums of the 1980s.

Dodged a bullet with this song for my wedding. I absolutely love this song. Marriage failed, and thankfully we never used it. But! It's still mine!

this is easily one of the greatest songs ever created

This song will never be old, sounds as new as it was 1st released. "In your eyes I am complete"

Who's watching NOW June 2024 and was alive when this freakin AMAZING song hit the radio/ albums ?

One of the most beautiful songs ever created. In fact this entire era of Peter's work is very special.

My parents grew up during these times and listened to these fantastic artists. I’m thankful that they did and were able to share the greatest era of music to me.

Peter Gabriel is a gift from the Universe

Positive this is the greatest song of my generation. If you know you know.

Last year I had a weekend with my dad and he introduced me to this song and I love it . Me and my dad sometime don’t see eye to eye but this weekend we did . And every time I hear it I think of him .

The greatest song ever? Is there anyone who DOESN"T like this song?

'So' is simply one of the best albums ever created. Peter is a genius. And this song...

This was an 86 song. Im an 84 baby. I was raised on great music thanks to my dad. Not the crap today. This song brings me back to den in FL when we moved there from NY. It was his music room outside pool. My dad is amazing to this day. My musical inspiration.

Stop 🛑 Asking who's listening 2024 this song is #Timeless 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Late 5/2024. Riding a vibe while folding laundry & missing my late mother.

Song is timeless regardless of race or creed. Thanks pete for this.

The older I become the more I realise how lucky we were to live with great artists- none better than this genius.

"All my instincts, they return The grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside" So beautiful, so poignant!

My wedding song, but I swear it was playing in my head the first time I met my love, "The light the heat ... I am complete." It really was love at first conversation. So cheesy, but true. I just knew. And a lot of people thought we wouldn't make it because he was six years younger. Here we are, though, almost 25 years later, still going strong, two boys, two dogs, military life. Keep on fighting the good fight. He's always been the one. There was never a question.

There doesn't exist a man who who can hear this, and not think of the little boy he once was, and the girl he utterly adored

The feeling of the chorus conveys what heaven could feel like after many years of suffering. That's sometimes one of the only hopes that keeps me going, on the darkest days

What a incredible song! Peter hit it good with this beautiful song! Growing up in the 80’s was the best time ever!🎶 🎵 🥁🎸🥁🎹

Sadly an era that can never be repeated nor replicated. Honored to have witnessed and been part of the 80s.

Omg… the 80’s. Even when being totally broke you could be super happy.

I listen to hip-hop, rock, metal, funk, folk, punk, prog, classical, even occasionally jazz... but I really think this particular song is the greatest ever composition of popular music. God bless Peter Gabriel.

This was my mum's favourite tune. Sadly, it would have been her 70th birthday today, but she got taken away, by cancer, at 45 years old.

This is the greatest song of all time. The lyrics, backing vocals, Gabriel’s voice, the arrangement… it’s all perfect

" SO " should hand gotten album of the year for 1986. I was disappointed when " Graceland " got it. Brilliant album, and an amazing Live performer with gifted musicians.

This song will forever hold a special place in my heart It was playing on the radio, while I was driving to the hospital in labor with my daughter.

*Starts playing the song and holds up the boombox* 📻 👁️👁️

Love can be painful. But music makes everything better.🖤

Nobody (me): Why does this generation need to go back in time just to listen to some of the old music in search of something that today’s music can’t give

Timeless classic! After all these years it still brings chills and tears.

My best friend sang this to me in my dream last night 😭 He passed away 4 years ago this August 💔❤️‍🩹😇

I was born in '76. Grew up watching MTV religiously for hours every day in the '80s. So Peter Gabriels music and videos had a huge impact on me. I was mesmerized by them both. Still love this in 2019, man...

I found this sound when I was so so broken. When I sing it, I'm singing it to an ineffable depth of being, a sort of unified world soul, anthropomorphised. Still broken held together with a sweetness of joy and sorrow and hope. Whoever you are stay sweet x

This guy's voice is legendary.

Peter, I doubt you see any of this, however this song was my wedding song in 2005. It's filled with so much beauty and emotion. I just hope that if you ever read this you understand how important this is to me

One of the greatest songs to ever exist... Thank you Mr. Gabriel!!!

One of my favorite songs. If this song don't touch your soul, you don't have one.

Strip away the music and the vocal and you have one of thee finest poems ever written. This song KILLED me from Day1.

Yes, im old enough to hear it when it was new!

Peter Gabriel is an incredible musician. His songs go deep into the soul. This is an example

This was and always will be our song …..In Loving Memory of my husband Marc 2/13/2014 ♥️

This reaches into your soul and achieves an emotional depth that very few other songs can manage. Peter is a true artist.

Im on the way to check into rehab. Iv hurt my family so much. And i am so sorry for what I’ve done. This song always makes me fall in love with my wife over and over again. This song means absolutely so much now. More than before….. every single word is what im doing now. Im sorry to anyone i ever hurt. Just know it was me being in an addiction. I promise to give every piece of me to this to change. Anyone going through it, you can beat this. I promise. Ill come back in a few months & check this post. If anyone needs a friend, leave your info and ill reach out. Cheers everyone, go do what you love with who you love

This dudes music literally represents an entire decade... The whole of the 80's

Listening as a grown man at 40 with a family of his own. This takes me back to being a kid instantly. One of, if not one of the most emotional songs every written. The 80's were incredible. Always feel my eyes welling up when I hear this.

14 years after dressing up as a literal flower on stage, PG really hit it out of the park with this one, the greatest love song of ALL TIME

Those were the days, it seemed that everything was so simple and what you saw was what it was,

Where does this man receive his inspiration from? This is not Genius, this is altogether on another level.

Had the privilege of seeing this live in 2016 on Peter Gabriel and and Sting’s duet tour. It was transcendent.

Probably one of the most incredible songs from his music from the 80s .. genius in the music industry

I think anyone who is in a long term relationship can benefit from the words of this song 😊

Wow. Peter’s voice is just fabulous. Loving this song in 2022

this is one of my favorite songs of all time. absolutely beautiful!

I can just put this on repeat and listen to a thousand times ❤️♥️

Emotional genius and still going, never lost the insight and the ability to touch the hearts and souls of us all. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

This song reminds me so much of my late husband Adam. Whenever he saw me coming through the door, his eyes would light up. Of course, mine would do the same. I miss you Sweets.

i liked this when i was 17...then forgotten...now im 46 and im listening to it again...still gets thru my bones

I’m glad RU-vid has 80’s mTV videos 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩶🖤💜💙🩵🤍🤎💖❤️‍🔥

Why can't today's music be this good? This is so beautiful.

This song feels like a sense of immortality.

This song represents everything music lacks now. This is so poetically beautiful.

ridiculously brilliant music. this man's voice is a gift from God.

This is about a depth of feeling of completely loving someone heart, body, & soul. Absolutely stunning, & right on the mark. He sings so very eloquently what few can ever hope to express.

Perfection at its finest.

His voice is magical and this song is amazing!!! Never gets old

Peter Gabriels music touches my soul.

I have been in a childhood music binge, I really miss the simplicity of being young. Ever since my mom got liver cancer, this music reminds me of all the picnics, swimming trips, just so many great memories. She still pushes herself to enjoy time with us all, she is so wonderful. Taught me to appreciate every moment you can. I love you Mom
