After 40 years of waiting, they still haven't released this. In a world where you can listen, read, watch and buy anything almost instantly, there is something beautiful about that. When I need to hear it, I'll know where it is. Thank you for posting. And to all the people listening, we are sharing something rare and beautiful. Doesn't happen often these days x

These two teaming up is a bit like watching all the planets come into alignment. Everyone sort of goes, "Oh yeah, now it all makes sense".

Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.....their voices are both so special and unique.....

She's only 21 here. Just unbelievable

We loved them such a long time ago, and we still do.

Every time Kate first sings here... goosebumps and tears... perfection

Yeah I remember downloading the audio of this years ago and being at work at my desk, and playing it and tears came and I was like, "Oh shit."

Would love to hear them perform this duet again today given how their respective voices have aged in the subsequent decades.

The Progfather and The Magical Spell Weaver in duet. Two brilliant British artists for sure.☺️🙂😊

God almighty. Peter Gabriel, Roy Harper, Kate Bush ..... this is, this is ... I can't say what this is. The drop leaf table! Mundanity, profundity ... do you see what I'm getting at? Oh, life.

@@creativeexpression3376 It's by Roy Harper, and is certainly not 'Unknown'. What's unknown is why Peter Gabriel chose Kate Bush. She ruins it.

I had never heard, nor was even aware of this song before...I had only heard them sing together on "Don't Give Up." It's like they were born to sing together. My cousin just turned me on to this as a Christmas gift. Pretty cool gift.

Fuuuuuuuck me! Never ever knew this existed. Kate... no words, just tears, she was so special.

Beautiful performance from two great artists. When Peter Gabriel lets rip with his voice it's like the sound a great choir emerging from his mouth. Powerful and soulful.

a beautiful and sad song...since yesterday I thought that my true love and I would break up after eleven years of affair.I listened to this song endlessly for 8 months and he listened to it as well.Then we realized we wished we had one of his/her children and decided to be together again...Thanks to a strong song, we remembered love.A little story, a little nothing for most...but for me it is very important....A special , true song...

They both are beautiful as is this song.

This performance, and All Flowers In Time, are my eternal musical touchstones

Even now, it is so up-to date. And the voices very genuine.

Fantastic version. I always felt the song was perfect for a duet, and they knock it out of the park.

My best mate in school introduced me to Peter Gabriel and Roy Harper when I was 13, 40 years ago. The two of them were our favourites so to hear Gabriel and Kate cover one of Roys songs is literally, music to my ears.

Cosmic Forces sometimes like Planets aline. Perfect Voices in unison. Beautiful Duet between two Geniuses in there Muse.

will never get 2 unique voices together like this again

This is so beautiful. I don't understand why they never released it? It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, I know it's a cover but it's a really great one. I get goosebumps. This performance is so amazing too, they're both great at getting into character. This song and performance really moves me. Maybe one day they will release it...

Apparently, another comment explains that they couldn't figure out what to do for the B-Side. So they abandoned the idea. I didn't look into it, so I don't know personally.

A perfect combination. Probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Magic! Peter and Kate forever!

and this song is written by a third ----Roy Harper is also incredible

Written and performed by Roy Harper (1971) and hears Peter and Kate version, the use of metaphors and analogy's are so apparent/stark. To end this is a poetic tragedy, within evocative vocals and music...tears come!

My draw drops when these planets sings. Thank you, for all the moments.

She is enchanting.

What a fantastic cover of a great song.

I love Kate Bush voice. Peter too. Wonderful song

One of Roy's finest songs. Breaks me every time.

This is such a beautiful duet by two of my favourite singers. And the superb set, which is really clever in its quotidian presentation, just adds to the perfection.

This is just sublime. Both very unique and talented singers! And Peter Gabriel was pretty attractive.

I could listen to this all day long.

this might be one of her greatest vocals, and one of his too. what an incredible recording. does anyone know why they would not want it released? Was it just too good for this mediocre world?

It's a Roy Harper song, check him out seriously one of the greats of ALL time in my opinion 🔥🙌👏

I have never heard this beautiful, delicate, invocation of loss, longing and loneliness before but now I have I will cherish it. This vignette evokes memories of those times I have walked away sad and lost and on my own but knowing that the past needs to be just where it is. It is a very human experience captured so well and performed by two of my generations outstanding performers. I guess you might be able to tell I am enormously impressed.

These two were meant for each other. Beauty beyond words...

Argueably the two best voices ever !!

Incredible!!!! Should have been released as a single between them. Love how it has a bit of the old Genesis Mellotron sound in it. Magical song!!

Wow. Beautiful. I've never heard this before. Only singers of the highest quality could give this justice it deserves.

Two of my favourite singers together heaven😊💕

I am just so thankful this music exists on earth right now!

Love this duet with two amazing Artists ❣️🙏

Why have I never heard this befire??? Astounding.

A Fantastic song by two of the most amazing singers ever.....

This is as close to perfect as you'll ever get.

Not many Roy Harper covers out there, and rightly so because they're usually perfect as is...This however is just lovely, like I am an emotional mess now having listened...Glad there are no sharp objects in the room with me. Jesus, this is just lovely. Thank you for sharing it.

this is haunting...........

A truly beautiful song - I recently bought 'Flat baroque' for the original, but this version is totally perfect and, though it's 20 seconds shorter, it seems to be less rushed. Not an easy song to listen to without blubbing.

I've known the Roy Harper original from Flat Baroque and Berserk since the early 70s. Friends and I, partaking of Eastern exotic spices, referred to it as the 'Tibetan Tea-Tray Song'.

Nice to see 2 amazing singer songwriters doing this beautiful duet together we need more musicians like this now, not the rubbish that exists in the charts now.

Wow, I didn't know they had covered this. Great rendition.

Just beautiful. Every time I see this it brings me to tears! Kate and Peter really deliver an exceptional performance of this haunting song. Love YOU Kate

Absolutely one of my favorite performances. Perfectly expressed the sadness of my first marriage... I mean, exactly

Together, they were MAGIC !!!

Such a beautiful piece of art in the form of song. Delicate and touching performance. So very lovely... thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much. I used to have it at one time and played it to death. Im very familiar with Song to The Siren and love it still. Im listening again to Peter and Kate and so glad to have caught it on TV the other night or else I may never have known of it. Its a real treasure.

Art… pure musical art

Hat’s off to Roy Harper.

Their performance of this song is celestial.

Omg this was so beautiful!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 But, indeed, it was so sad despite being a great performance by both Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel...

This has stood the test of time I feel .....2021

I have loved the Roy Harper version forever, but I didnt know this existed.. Wow it is Gorgeous!!

If she ever had one of his children. What a beautiful musical couple❤❤

Stunning!

Beautiful

Words for what? the melody is beautiful (a roy harper song) and kate and peter are genius!! The voice of kate bush is....so so...magic and pure!!!

Great vocals from both, and great chemistry too, which would come in handy for "Don't Give Up" a number of years later. ;-)

Never knew they’d collaborated before “Don’t Give Up”

@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq

They had collaborated a couple of times before this: The songs No Self Control and Games Without Frontiers on Peter's second (or was it third?) solo album and he an Steve Harley performed with and at the final night of Kate's 1979 UK tour which was a fund raiser for the family of a mutual friend and tour crew member who died in an freak accident on the first night of said tour.

She was a fan of early Genesis up to "Wind & Wuthering," (1976) right before her own big hit "Wuthering Heights" was released in 1978, similar to that same very British atmosphere that early Genesis specialized in (with the exception of the deliberately set in NYC "Lamb Lies Down" concept album). Their meeting was probably set up by the producer of this show since Bush recorded backing vocals on "Games Without Frontiers" & "No Self Control" on the 3rd Gabriel album (melted face) right after.

One of the finest songs ever written

This is just so special

This is so true, I'm a singer and love vocalists from all genres etc, I love me some Kurt Elling and such, yet Gabriel's voice is the most interesting there is, there is nothing like it, he's somewhat of the counterpart of Björk... both have very unique voices... Of course Kate is herself way way up there but yes Gabriel's vocal chords are like no others

Amazing!

Tis an agony so sweet I can not bare to live without. Thank you for sharing. Really.

This is such an emotional, beautiful song, love it

So beautiful i don't know what else to say about it just so beautiful

Thank you SO much for sharing this! (I only have a very old and faulty VHS recording of it) I've never understood why neither of them ever released this… Exquisite!
