Comment:

Part of what makes Peter Gabriel such an unparalleled songwriter is his knack for slipping into the skin of unconventional characters and bringing their skewed visions to life. On "Family Snapshot," he inhabits the narrator's personality with such compassion that you can't help but feel sympathy for a psychotic soon-to-be assassin. He dips into the Talking Heads' songbook to deliver a ghostly chamber-pop take on "Listening Wind," one of the only songs ever to examine terrorism from the inside out. But Gabriel really doesn't even need words in order to tell a startling story — he scored [i]Birdy[/i] with otherworldly mood-setters like "Slow Marimbas," evoking the strange world inside the mind of Matthew Modine's traumatized Vietnam vet.
