Nadia, when has there even been a cover this perfect? I’m not sure there has. Bowie and Gabriel came up at the same time. Both were flamboyant, transcendent rock stars who used costumes and personas to articulate themselves creatively. Both dabbled in New Wave towards the end of the 70s. In short, Peter is the perfect choice to cover a song of this magnitude by one of his most illustrious peers. I’m glad you enjoy it as much as me 😊

@deanlaxer608

I have to absolutely agree with you :D. I do enjoy what David Bowie has written, but his performance and style in the original song just doesn't touch me as much as Gabriel's interpretation. Peter is one of those artists who can really call himself that, an artist by heart. His skillset is quite rare these days... No disrespect to any Bowie fan, though. The man was great, no doubt about it.

Thankyou David. Thankyou Peter. Truly is the best friend I have ever had. It will never be any different. Peace 🙏 and Love.

it makes you cry because your ego wants to be known that you can be a Hereo even if it's just for one day as most Heroes are not called Heroes because they lived but because they took the ultimate sacrifices so that another soul could live longer. Knowing how much mental and physical boundaries that have to be broken to help an other soul thrive in that moment is breath taking.

After watching season 3 ending and busting into tears when 11 reads her Dads note I feel in Love with this song. I play it every night at 12AM coming home from work flying down the interstate windows rolled down, stereo full blast and I think about the past and missed opportunities to speak my feelings before it was too late.
