Our music

It seems we got off to a good start with our blogging project and your posts about your hometowns are all very interesting. Time has come for a new task:
Following suggestions from some of you, I am asking everyone now to write something about the music you like most. To make it more specific I want you to find one song of your favorite band or singer on YouTube, and share it with others. Say why you've chosen that particular song, how it makes you feel, and add whatever you want to say about it. Please paste the video into your post. Here is how you can do it (in case you don't know, of course):

Write your post. Then, in another browser window/tab, open the video clip on YouTube. To the right of the video window you can see the Embed window (in the Polish version of YouTube it says "Umieść"). Copy the WHOLE code and paste it into your post window. Should work. :)
There is another way, very useful if you plan to use the feature more often: you need to configure your YouTube account so that it would be linked with your blog. Then you can place any YouTube video on your blog with one click. I leave this to those of you who are interested enough to figure it out.

Now, I would like to share with you one of my own favorites - Peter Gabriel's song In Your Eyes. It's not that I don't listen to new music - I do. But if I am to choose something really special, somehow it's easier for me to find it in a bit more mature artists. The song has an incredible pulse, is full of life and spirit. You can feel that everyone in the band, starting from Peter Gabriel himself, believes in what they do, and enjoy it enormously. Also, listen to the great voice of the backing vocal singer - Paula Cole. Here you go - and take your time, it's worth it!



Well, I can't help it - here is another one :) I went to Peter Gabriel's concert when he came to Poznań in 2003 as part of his GROWING UP tour. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Here is a clip from that show (not in Poznań though, but in Milan). You can see that his live performance is far more than just music, fantastic as it is. It is also visual theater and art. Take a look:
