![]() ![]() ![]() As an ex-member of the British band Genesis from its progressive rock era of the early 1970’s, Gabriel had developed an eclectic background that included the adventurous writing of prog-rock with a longstanding interest in world music, fused with a now mature pop sensibility that, by the mid-80’s, had evolved to the point that Gabriel could assimilate all these diverse elements yet fuse them into an accessible and enjoyable pop song. Today we’ll take a look at one of Peter Gabriel‘s most famous songs, “In Your Eyes,” which appeared on his 1986 album So, and infamously in Cameron Crowe’s 1989 film Say Anything ( the boombox scene). “If the cadence may be regarded as the cradle of tonality, the ostinato patterns can be considered the playground in which it grew strong and self-confident.” -Edward E.
