Peter Gabriel
Peter Brian Gabriel (born 13 February 1950) is an English singer-songwriter, musician and humanitarian activist who rose to fame as the original lead singer and flautist of the progressive rock band Genesis. After leaving Genesis in 1975, Gabriel went on to a successful solo career, with "Solsbury Hill" his first single. His 1986 album, So, is his most commercially successful, and is certified triple platinum in the UK and five times platinum in the U.S. The album's biggest hit, "Sledgehammer", won a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and it remains the most played music video in the history of MTV.
Gabriel has been a champion of world music for much of his career. He co-founded the WOMAD festival in 1982. He has continued to focus on producing and promoting world music through his Real World Records label. He has also pioneered digital distribution methods for music, co-founding OD2, one of the first online music download services. Gabriel has been involved in numerous humanitarian efforts. In 1980, he released the anti-apartheid single "Biko". He has participated in several human rights benefit concerts, including Amnesty International's Human Rights Now! tour in 1988, and co-founded the WITNESS human rights organisation in 1992. Gabriel developed The Elders with Richard Branson, which was launched by Nelson Mandela in 2007.
Peter Gabriel (1977 album)
Peter Gabriel is the first studio album by English rock musician Peter Gabriel and the first of four with the same eponymous title. Released on 25 February 1977, it was produced by Bob Ezrin. Gabriel and Ezrin assembled a team of musicians, including Robert Fripp of King Crimson, to record the album. Upon the album's release, Gabriel began touring with a seven-piece band under his own name.
This album is often called either Peter Gabriel 1 or Car, referring to the album cover by London artist Peter Christopherson when he was associated with the London artists group Hipgnosis. The car was a Lancia Flavia owned by Hipgnosis founder Storm Thorgerson.
The album went to No. 7 in UK and No. 38 in the USA.
Gabriel's first solo success came with the album's lead single "Solsbury Hill", an autobiographical piece expressing his thoughts on leaving Genesis. Although mainly happy with the music, Gabriel felt that the album and especially the track "Here Comes the Flood" was over-produced. Piano-only or piano with synth versions may be heard on Robert Fripp's Exposure, his appearance on Kate Bush's 1979 TV special and a third version on his greatest hits compilation Shaking the Tree (1990). He often performs the song live accompanied by only himself on keyboard, either in German or English, depending on the audience.
Peter Gabriel (1980 album)
Peter Gabriel is the third album by English rock musician Peter Gabriel, released in May 1980. The album has been acclaimed as Gabriel's artistic breakthrough as a solo artist and for establishing him as one of rock's most ambitious, innovative musicians. Gabriel also explored more overtly political material with two of his most famous singles, the anti-war song "Games Without Frontiers" (which became a number four hit and remains his joint highest charting single in the UK) and the anti-apartheid protest song "Biko", which remembered the murdered activist Steve Biko. The album was remastered, along with most of Gabriel's catalogue, in 2002.
This album is often referred to as Melt owing to its cover photograph by Hipgnosis.
Details
Gabriel's ex-Genesis band mate Phil Collins, who succeeded Gabriel as Genesis' lead vocalist, plays drums on several of the album's tracks. In particular, Collins played drums on "Intruder", which has been cited as the first use of Collins' "gated drum" sound. This effect, as created by Steve Lillywhite, Collins and Hugh Padgham, was featured on Collins' and Genesis's recordings throughout the 1980s. The distinctive sound was identified via experiments by Lillywhite, Collins and Padgham, in response to Gabriel's request that Collins and Jerry Marotta not use cymbals on the album's sessions. The sound was significant enough and influential enough that it has been claimed by Gabriel, Padgham, Collins, and Lillywhite. The drum sound on this album has been noted by Public Image Ltd as influencing the sound on their album Flowers of Romance, whose engineer, Nick Launay, was in turn employed by Collins to assist him with his first solo album, Face Value.Paul Weller, who was recording with his band The Jam in a nearby studio, was asked to contribute guitar to "And Through The Wire". Gabriel believed Weller's intense guitar style was ideal for the track.

Schnappschuss
Die kameras sind schon lange hier
Reporter stehen spalier
Heute ist es anders
Heute nicht wie sonst
Heute mach ich es endlich
Den schnappschuss in das licht
Schnappschuss in das licht
- ich ziele in das licht
Vier strassen noch braucht der zug
Den fahrer blendet die sonne
Gewehr hinterm fensterkreuz
Keiner sieht's in der kolonne
Drei strassen noch, die kreuzung ist frei
Jetzt faengt der jubel an
Du hoerst I'm radio
Was dieser mann alles kann
Ich - zeig es euch jetzt
Ich - zeig es euch jetzt
Ihr glotzt nur auf die scheibe
Nummer fuer die datenbank
Einen schuss brenn ich euch in den kopf
Lerr, ausgetraeumt und krank
Nur ich, ich l e b e
Sie kommen um die ecke
Motorradschutz ganz vorn
Ich wisch den schweiss von der stirn
- von unten gebruell
- ich werde ganz still
Im andern wagen faehrt der gouverneur
Doch ihn hab ich nicht I'm visier
Du bist - held des tages
Stolz I'm cadillac
"du bist nicht zum hassen
- eigentlich ganz egal
Wir brauchen uns beide
- perfekte wahl
Ich will liebe von allen
Wie bei dir soll es sein
Was du nicht kriegst musst du holen
Und ich hol dich jetzt ein."
Atem stoppt
Abzug springt
Und die
Kugel durch den lauf
Diese stille - was kann ich dafuer?
Einsamer junge hinter der tuer
Die freunde sind alle weg
Da ist mein spielzeuggewehr
Wo seid ihr - mama und papa
Ihr redet nicht mehr
Ich werd trauriger jahr fuer jahr
Schaut mich an -
- ich ziele in das licht
