My song of the week is Here Comes the Flood performed live by Peter Gabriel. It's not about a literal flood, it's about a society who can no longer hide their intimate thoughts.
Here's Gabriel's explanation. "I had an apocalyptic dream in which the psychic barriers which
normally prevent us from seeing into each others' thoughts had been
completely eroded producing a mental flood. Those that had been used to
having their innermost thoughts exposed would handle this torrent and
those inclined to concealment would drown in it."
I think it's a beautiful song performed with sensitivity. See for yourself.
