CLARA ELIA I was moreso getting at the fact that 80’s music is more or less an artistic dumping ground, and if anything this song is a very high watermark.

Pretty much the greatest music video of all time and it's to easily one of the greatest songs of all time. Rare that

So- I exercised and danced in my room every day in the afternoon before dinner to this album during the summer between. I knew if I did this stuff before dinner I’d eat less. This album helped me lose a bunch of weight and be healthy. I’m old now..I need to lose some baby weight. Maybe I should use it again! Lol! Thank you Peter Gabriel!!

I’m 55 , I remember when this vid came out and everyone was like WTF..very innovative for the time..it really stood out from the rest..

This video still holds an incredibly unique place in visual storytelling and the audio quality of this album was just magnificent. I love how huge the horns sound in this song. Still great to this very day!

It was a different place in time, but still crazy fun...was already pushing 40 years old, but still had a heartbeat and my ears were very open for new songs/sounds. Too long crazy cool 😎

When this came out people could barely believe how fantastic is was. It has stood the test of time
