Peter Gabriel | I'm Amazing (singl)

Krásná pocta Muhammadu Ali od Petera Gabriela​. Jak sám Gabriel říká "Skladbu I'm Amazing jsem složil již před léty, inspirován částečně Aliho životem a jeho bojem, a teď po jeho smrti, kdy mnozí lidé oslavují Aliho život a co dokázal, byl ten správný čas na vydání této skladby." Sedmi a půl minutová skladba je Gabrielova první nová kompozice od roku 2013, kdy vydal zatím poslední singl Courage. Hudba je jako vždy perfektní a pokud by vás zajímal text, tak tady je:


"I'm Amazing"

Run into the cage
But what I grew up hating
Keep on recreating
Please help me

Something’s got to change
There was something that you said
Happy times ahead
Happy times ahead

Saw the kind of blood
Like a picture’s going to shatter
Can you recognize the pictures of a bone-luck setter
All the people, all the faces in my head that are running around
I’m trying to make connections by the circuits are down

Look at me
Look at me
Look what I can do
I’m amazing

I’m living from without and I’m living from within
Got lightning every layer of my illuminated skin
Could swallowing a lightbulb
Transform into the sun
I can jump into the darkness
I can shine on anyone

Look at me
Look at me
Can you see what I can do
‘Cause I’m amazing

Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Can you see what I can do
‘Cause I’m amazing

Reaching out my hand
I’m going underwater
Sunlight filtered into shafts
I’m going underwater
With the human race
I’m going underwater, down
Underwater, down
Underwater

Trying to put it together in my head
Feeling the weight of what you said
The weight of what you said
Happy times ahead
Happy times ahead
Happy times ahead

Look at me
Look at me
Look what I can do
‘Cause I’m amazing

Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look what I can do
‘Cause I’m amazing

Cause I can!
And I will!
It’s moving in me
The spirit is free
