Sylvian, what should I do?

Should we integrate the review for decency? Or integrity, and anyway, to make an integration, you need to download some things from what I understand.

We are not all the same, it doesn't matter.

Yes, I am 37 years old and at first I didn't write a proper review of the album Ovo, but I expressed what I feel about Peter Gabriel in general and, surely, about what he makes people feel, as in this case with Ovo. I wrote this instinctively, this feeling even before seeing how everything was structured, also because, I repeat, I've only been here for two weeks, but I see that if they published it and didn’t discard it, it's because they deemed it a source of reflection and sharing.
I adore beautiful music; by the age of 15, I was listening to Gabriel, The Cure, Japan, Ultravox, Roxy Music, U2, Queen, Depeche Mode, Abc, Police, New Order, Sting, Pet Shop Boys, B Ferry, Lotus Eaters, Talking Heads, David Sylvian, etc., which I still do while also making space for new, valid bands.
So I enjoy talking about music and everything that music can create in a human being; it often becomes fundamental and constructive in the search for inner self.
And rightly so, everything can be shared, discussed, and expanded—this is what I think.

Grass, there's someone who is crushing my feelings for Ovo, but is it normal to have these persistent elements?

Well, now I know, and I also know that you sting, but it's only right that in this world there are different opinions and ways of seeing things, otherwise it would be a mess. I'm sure you'll find people who think like you, especially about your favorite singer, T Waits.

Good lesson dear, and as much as the ability to understand is a matter of going beyond perceiving and is not an intellectual issue, are you sensitive? Sensitive? Do you have a sixth sense? Do you know what happens during full moon periods? Gabriel, me, and people like us do, so there’s no difficulty in understanding each other.

Alright, think what you want, I’ll go on talking about Peter Gabriel, how I see him and what he manages to show, okay?

They asked him to provide musical accompaniment, and he did, just as he did for the film Birdy, just as he did for the film Passion, just as he did for the film Long Walk Home, and for many others. But what he created is also what he has done for his personal albums, and even though Passion was later withdrawn by the Church for being sinful, or if the Dome did not succeed as expected, that does not mean that the accompanying music must be reflective; that is, one can like a film or a structure and then dislike the music, or vice versa. They do not have to live in symbiosis, and please do not obsess over what these CDs may or may not have accompanied. Express your thoughts on the concept of the CD, whether you liked it or not, whether you like him or not, and that's it. We are here to talk about the singer, his work, and his expressions.

When it comes to waste or poverty in the world, one could open a chapter with no end in sight. I have adopted a child in Africa and I am in touch; I know what it means. Anyway, there are those who want to understand what Gabriel wanted to express by creating Ovo, not who wanted to build the Millennium Dome, as this was indeed a commissioned work, where a man was able to convey the concept he believes in.
