Song of the Day: Lowland Hum - In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel cover)

So it's been 35 years since Peter Gabriel released "So."  Fabulous album, start to end.

In honor of that, Lowland Hum has released "So Low," an album covering the whole Peter Gabriel album.  I'll post two of the songs here on my blog, two of the songs I love the most.

I love how they capture the essence of the songs, without duplicating what Gabriel did.

Here is the first of the two Lowland Hum songs I'll post.


Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

"In Your Eyes"
(from "Say Anything..." soundtrack)

Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
In your eyes in your eyes
