Gabriel, Peter - Everybird Lyrics






It's not the place that I grew up in
It's not the body I was born with
They're not the trees that I once played in
That now surround us, us in a prison

Every bird was born with feathers
Every wing was shaped to fly
We spin around 'til we stop all motion
Let the heart move 'til the earth can touch the sky

In my hunger deep in my bones
In a thousand deserted homes
Any time that you feel alone
I will find you where you are
Go where you are

In a garden behind the wall
Spinning coins and I watch them fall
Though I've lost all the wherewithal
I will find you where you are
Go where you are

I sing like the earth as you dance on my skin
Then memories release the future
So this living can begin

Not in the ship that charts the heavens
Not in the words that fall like hail stones
Not in the light you disappear in
I'll be the mirror you can see through

Every bird was born with feathers
Every wing was shaped to fly
We spin around 'til we stop all motion
Let the heart move until the earth can touch the sky

In all the lines that churned your face
In a stretch that can open space
Any place that you leave a trace
I will find you where you are
Go where you are

In a city inside the wall
Where you watched all the embers fall
Though we've lost all the wherewithal
I will found you where you are

Go where you build this nest with lot of feathers
Build a world to bring back life
Build the place that holds the future
Can hold the future
For all who come when we are gone
When we are gone

    Yhouhou Peter, how are you???
    J'adore les oiseaux, les films d'animations et tout votre univers artistique génial!!
    C'est un sublime hommage aux oiseaux et à la poésie.

    Merci beaucoup!!!! <3 Angélique

    the magnificent poetics of Peter Gabriel
    is intact over the years
    he musically arrives at one point and always first of the others, and then when he gets there
    immediately feels the need to go elsewhere
    curiosity moves the world
    and Peter Gabriel is a great artist.
    and every pore in his skin is full of curiosity.

    Thank you Mr Peter and Genesis you and the group combined taught me to listen as well as hearing. You and Genesis made storytelling an art form that I will take it to my grave thank you and England and Genesis what a group of the century

    How could somebody who was in "Genesis", come along with something like this without shame?

    Oh dear. Yawn. Another saccharin sweet movie tie-in. Sorry Pete, you've gone as insipid as Phil Collins did although, to be fair, it took you much longer.

    Punaise! Mais qu'est ce que c'est beau !... Un génie musicale ! Vous m'apportez une énorme émotion lorsque j'écoute votre musique Monsieur Peter GABRIEL. Depuis 45 ans que j'écoute la musique que vous avez créée, de Genesis à ce jour, je n'ai de cesse de regretter cette époque tellement pleine de créativité par rapport à ce qui ce fait aujourd'hui ! Il suffit de mettre les écouteurs sur les oreilles pour se rendre compte du moindre détail d'un son caché derrière un autre ! Là est le vrai talent.! Rien à voir avec bien d'autre créateur musical d'aujourd'hui ! C'est construit, pensé, réfléchi, fait avec les tripes. Il me manque un dernier album de votre part Monsieur PETER GABRIEL ! Laissez vous allez à la création d'un autre album. Il manque à tant de mondes qui sont dans cette attente... Merci à vous....

    Thumbtack! But what is beautiful! ... A musical genius! You bring me a huge emotion when I listen to your music Mr. Peter GABRIEL. For 45 years I've been listening to the music you've created, from Genesis to this day, I've never stopped regretting this time so full of creativity compared to what it's doing today! Just put the headphones on the ears to realize the slightest detail of a sound hidden behind another! Here is the real talent! Nothing to do with many other musical creators today! It's built, thought, thoughtful, done with the guts. I miss a last album from you Mr. PETER GABRIEL! Let you go to create another album. It is missing from so many worlds who are in this waiting ... Thank you to you ....

  34. T.... V....

    beautiful

  35. r.... ....

    Pls where is possible to watch this cartoon? I can not find it on the internet

  36. G.... C....

    Thanks Mr. Gabriel. Our sons are knowing your music and your powerfull expression.

  37. L.... R....

    You know in reading the comments, it seems that many expect a repeat of something they heard from Peter in the past. Peter is always evolving as a human being and artist and I feel you are restricting him when you are asking him to do big time 2. As a fan I have noticed that he loves to experiment with new ideas and think outside the box. It is something I love and respect about him, because he is not stagnant and is curious and open. The demands for big time 2 do not allow him to unfold into his natural being nor to explore his creativity. They are stifling comments that show no respect for art.

    L.... R....

    People just want more from him

    L.... R....

    👏👏👏

  38. V.... O....

    Gabriel's voice doesn't age

  39. N.... G....

    Mr. Gabriel, I have always been your fan from Genesis on! Beautiful one of a kind talent! Thank you!

    Thanks Peter, it's a beautiful song!!!

  48. G.... G....

    subtitulada en castellano existe?

  49. D.... S....

    I think Kate Bush would have been a good pairing in this song.

    Love me some Peter, though. (Um, that's embarrassing.)

    D.... S....

    Always love Peter...not embarrassing!!!!

  50. M.... H....

    Danke Peter

  55. G.... S....

    love it ! will see the movie

  56. C.... ....

    Peter, lead us to the new Jerusalem and give us BIG TIME 2.

  57. B.... C....

    Love how everyone thinks they’re being funny when they say Big Time 2. You’re literally commenting the same thing everyone else is. Does anybody think for themselves or have an original thought of their own?

    B.... C....

    Big Time 2

    B.... C....

    Stand up and fight, for you know we are right. We are only wanting Big Time 2.

    B.... C....

    Do you know what a meme is?

    B.... C....

    @mrtakln fgh99 Yup. It was hilarious the first hundred times I heard it.

  58. S.... G....

    Peter really wants to speed the record up from 17 to 45RPM as he's putting more & more of us to sleep with every release 😳 Terrible....

    S.... G....

    Stephen Gilmour this comment made me laugh. However this song is growing on me. Give it a few more tries.

  59. A.... W....

    When the birds cuddled each other it reminded me of the don't give up video.great song.

    A.... W....

    Just like we won't give up until we get Big Time 2...

  60. F.... L....

    Poor Peter is just like every other artist realizing his fans aren't as smart as he'd hoped At least half of them in any case. Big time 2. Dopes

  61. M.... J....

    one of the worst animated things ive seen put toether with an official release .... JUST put more time into the project you knew this looked like shit why did you use it

  62. M.... F....

    @2:57 Why can't all humans be like that?
    It would indeed be a... *wonderful world* ... ((I know, I'm a dreamer...))


    🎵LPM💙☮️🎵🎵

    At this stage of the game, I would say the best move for Gabriel to make next would be to reunite with the other four original members of Genesis and resuscitate the band with a brand new full album and a tour to follow. I'm sure with practice Phil with the assistance of his son Nicholas can fully occupy the drum and percussion seats. All five of them could be involved in the writing and creation of the music and lyrics. In tour they could do songs from the new album as well as songs from throughout Genesis career, both Peter and Phil's eras included. Make it a massive farewell celebration. When Phil sings lead Peter could play a second keyboard and when Peter sings lead Phil could play drums along with his son. And as far as the new album is concerned, half the album could be Peter fronting the vocals, and half the album could be Phil fronting the vocals. Make it a true collaborative effort.

    M.... M....

    Myles Matisse I think a more realistic version of this would be Peter and Phil touring together - much like Peter and Sting did a couple years ago. Peter plays some of his, Phil plays his, then they choose a few Genesis songs to sing together. Doubt you’d see Peter in batwings but the two of them could sound great singing songs like Carpet Crawlers, Harlequin, Lovers Leap, The Musical Box, I know what I like, and others I’m sure. It wouldn’t be a full blown Genesis concert but they could pick and choose. Phil is touring now so of course he’d be up for it. Peter just did it with Sting. Nick Collins can play drums. I’d pay a lot of money to see that.

  80. M.... K....

    Wonderful as always. Thank you for all your music.

  81. M.... ....

    I don't know why everyone is asking for big time 2? Personally I prefer his more mellow tunes.

    M.... ....

    well because big time 2 needs to happen, obviously

  82. a.... ....

    This is a beautiful song; admire it for what it is and stop comparing songs.

  83. b.... ....

    Love me any Peter Gabriel song. This is beautiful & touching, Thank you so much for sharing your talent of music/art with us! Your still on my bucket list...tick tick tick❤️✌️🎶🌎🐦

  84. D.... L....

    WTH is up with all of this BT2 BS? Be happy that Peter releases any new material if/when that happens. For the record, I'd rather have a logical successor to Up than another So. Though we all might want it to be, this isn't the 80s.

    D.... L....

    David Lazarus Boomer Time 2

    D.... L....

    @L K - Well, PG is of that generation. Though kind of a parallel generation since he was born in the UK.

  85. C.... A....

    The majority: BIG TIME 2 rEeEeEEeeE!!!

    People with a little intellect: Wow, another masterpiece.

    A few salty haters: Pwssshh, not gonna go down as a classic tbh.

    Me: Please go on tour again Peter. It’s hard to see an all-around legend perform live when you don’t exist yet. Really, please, I’m begging. Look at these desperate cries. 😭😭🤧

  86. Y.... ....

    ❤love his Musik

  87. E.... B....

    I hope PG isn't turning into Randy Newman...

    E.... B....

    I've never seen them in the same place at the same time ....hmmmmm

  88. c.... ....

    I want a Robert Wyatt and Peter Gabriel collaboration

  89. M.... O....

  95. S.... 6....

    What the hell is big time 2?

  96. R.... G....

    Shallow fans. Big time indeed.
    I would like to hear "Mother of Violence" "Here comes the flood"
    "Passion"
    dig deeper people. Just glad he's still at it and sharing.😎

  97. O.... C....

    Not gonna lie: Love the new PG song but it won't make me see this movie.

    O.... C....

    It would be nice to have a whole new album of original music from PG. His voice has held up well after all these years and I would love to see him tour again.

  98. f.... ....

    Ok big time 2 or not this is beautiful
