I am terminally ill with probably a year or so left. I've been with my partner for 23 years, we have 2 great boys together and 7 other kids all great too. We plan to marry this October and this song will be played then. It is a great song and as I've been listening to Peter Gabriel virtually all my life that's a bonus. Take care all.

Not sure why I am sharing this; My girlfriend was in a car wreck in Oct '23. She lost her ability to speak and communicate clearly. She told me in broken sentences that if she did not get better she gave me permission to move on because she did not want to hold me back from living life. I told her she was stuck with me no matter what. Needless to say, it was a long few months but she got better. By the grace of God, she regained her ability to speak. She sang this softly to me after she could speak again. I cried like a child. We were married in June 2024 and we danced to this song. She sang it to me softly just like she did before. This song makes me cry every time.

I don’t know why but this song makes me cry. Anyone else?

This is a masterpiece.

Bravery is Peter Gabriel singing this live.....without crying.

Probably the greatest love song ever written.

Thanks to Peter Gabriel for making this song his own. The Magnetic Fields are underappreciated. May this draw more fans to them ❤

Who wants to have Peter Gabriel sing a lullaby for your grandchild..

This song is my son.he died of a heart attack last August....i miss him so much...my darling Alex

I lost the love of my life a year and a half ago. I held him telling him , he gave me 2 beautiful children adopted my son from a another man. 💙 My words to him was thanking him for giving me confidence, self esteem and telling me "I love you everyday ❤️ 😢

Again il say, Gabriel's a genius, didnt get it till my thirties , what was I thinking about, , so talented a musician,

He still has his fantastic voice. Thank god 😊

Its our Wedding Song. Ten days ago, I had a surgery and fell into a coma. My husband believed in me and was holding My Hand, while he played that Song for me in my room. Now I'm back, listen to this, crying, while he is at home and I'm still in Hospital, but awake. Thanks to Mr. Gabriel for the Song. And always remember: Love knows how to fight, how to win and how to reach the one in the darkness.

One of the most beautiful songs ever

Majestic. Mesmerizing. Magical.

In the days of social distancing, it's a nice reminder that we're social beings that need to be loved.

Nothing but beautiful….here in 2024😢❤❤

Heaven has Peter Gabriel's voice in it.

A true musical genius who has never compromised on finding perfection in everything he has done

A beautiful song, I wish my wife and I could have listened to it together. She would have loved it xxx

thanks

This arrangement by Gabriel is magnificent. Merritt's lyrics are so evocative. The combination is just divine. When you listen to the original you realise what a genius Gabriel is, to create this masterpiece, from an indie pop song.

What a deeply moving song...

When I saw the last episode of scrubs ending with this song I was moved. Literally.

When it comes to songs about love, this one is the epitome. This song sounds exactly as true and everlasting love feels like. It´s perfect.

🕊🌟🕊 OMG This man is an ABSOLUTE GENIUS 🙏💜🙏 💜🎵💜

If I ever find ( her) I imagine this song playing when we meet and at our wedding,.....a man can dream

Tears, only tears from the first second to the last one

I’ve listened this song many many times. It’s my husband and I love song, because that our baby boy was named Peter Gabriel 💙

This song, its sends me over the edge. Wonderful 😢

Still sounds like he did in 80's , fn awesome. Beautiful song

The chord progression change in the last chorus breaks my heart.

Me encanta esta cancion!😍😍😍

I love coming back to this track in times of need - covid-19 stay home stay safe - and above keep on loving... x

Beautiful Thank you Love Shalom to you 🥰

God damn, what a powerful song! I want to give a shout out to all the people who's souls have depth. This song brings me to my knees, because it speaks to me on so many levels. Shit, I don't even know where to begin. This song is dedicated to all the people from all walks of life. If you've been the victim of the most vile shit, this song is for you. If you've made it through this life unmolested, but still have heart and soul for those who's been through more, this song is for you. This song is for everyone, regardless of what you've been through. If your going through some shit, I recommend this song and R.E.M's "Everybody Hurts". Keep fighting the good fight! There is music out there that will save you, and it will help you. I know, because I've been there. If it wasn't for music, I would have killed myself back in 1993. I'm 38 now, and about to turn 39. If it wasn't for music I'd be dead at the age of 13! There is help, if you want it! Please ask for it! PEACE AND LOVE FOR ALL THOSE WHO STRUGGLE!

Such a beautiful song.... It makes me cry every time I listen to it...

PETER is a GENIUS... SINCE Genesis AND alone. ONE OF THE greatest voices all time.

Immer wenn ich den Song höre, laufen meine Tränen und mir steckt ein Kloss im Hals. Aber trotzdem wundervoll!!

Una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, posiblemente para mí la mejor

Peter really makes this song his own, you can just hear the emotion, power, and that one of a kind voice of his bring this gem to life. He is one of those rare musical geniuses that produces unique songs, sounds, and albums that are all his own. Peter's choice of songs to cover are just as powerful as his own material. I can't help but be moved by this song. Talk about fighting back those crocodile tears, this song does it to me every time. :-)

This song reminds my father. He passed away last year.

It's a wonderful song, it makes me cry but I love it ❤

Brings tears to my eyes every time.

Dont...we still have...you❤

Oh I love this song! The message in it is so powerful, thank you.

This was my wedding song. Still crying while hearing it.

This is such a beautiful song. I would love to dance to it at my wedding someday

Sublime,no tengo palabras❤

Gorgeous…

straight from his soul

Holy shit this blew me away! The strings at the start lured me in, and it just kept getting better

Awww love this beautiful song so much, so very much 🥰😍😘❤💋

What a beautiful song and singer, Thank you!

Shy found us... soul brother ❤

And youu...can sing me anything..Peter Gabriel

Played this at my wedding. Its 'our' song.

String quartet just played this at my daughter's outdoor wedding during the unity lighting. So beautiful. Love this song so much.

I watch my husband in his office and feel so fortunate that he loves me. The song will take me to my last breath.

Le parole non si potranno compredere, per barriere linguistiche, ma la musica rompe ogni barriera e arriverà comunque alla sua destinazione, nel cuore. Bellissima canzone!

Just simple an amazing song .

2023😘😘😃😃

이 노래를 왜 이제 알게 되었는지.. 정말 가슴 웅장해지다못해 눈물이 나는 노래네요. 노래의 힘이란..
