This upload unfortunately cuts off the last 45 seconds or so, but if you ever want to meet me in my happy place, this stunning live performance of In Your Eyes is it. Amazing musicians from around the world, unified in a song about true and healing love. https://youtu.be/qHRUYOU6DFo

I get it. I have a direct brain connection to his song I Go Swimming. There are times when literally no other song will do.

A song for people whose minds are as healthy as their bodies.

It's almost as if you've heard that live track a few times.

He's one of those artists where, not everything he does appeals to me equally. I don't often have the urge to stack up several of his albums, and just play through them. But the songs that hit me, HIT me. Games Without Frontiers - my gods.

Their are peaks and valleys for me in the bodies of work of most artists I love, but the peaks of Peter's work have exhilarated me and expanded my horizons more than the work of perhaps any other musical artist. Just an astounding artist in my opinion.

I do have some artists - and, this may be more about me, than about them - where I really can stack up hours of their albums, and just let it roll. I think it's mostly artists I found early, who I listened to, as full albums, early.

I also think it's about how much I appreciate their sound and consistency, but most of them are artists I've been listening to since my teens or twenties. Tull, Zevon, BOC.

Yeah, I got turned on to Peter Gabriel when I was an impressionable teenager just starting to really form my own musical sensibilities. He was the right artist at the right time and he left a lifelong impression on me.

I have a sense that music that you find and identify with in that time, that, oh, 12-25 window, tends to *really* stick with you. I've found artists I *love*, as an adult. But I feel like those early bands are literally imprinted on me.

I think you're right. I suspect that something in the way our brains change as we get older means that while we can absolutely continue to discover and adore great new music, there's some sort of deep imprint with experience and memory that no longer occurs in quite the same way.

I mean, our brains literally don't 'set', don't finish growing into themselves, until we're ~25-27. Experiences, changes, before that, have to be different, right? I wonder how much of that is wrapped up in the poetic/literary stuff about first love.

And in people's obsession with the sport they played in HS or college. :p
