Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (HD version)

Показать описание

The official Sledgehammer video in HD. Directed by Stephen R. Johnson, produced by Adam Whittaker. Claymation, pixilation, and stop motion animation provided by Aardman Animations and the Brothers Quay.

Sledgehammer was the first single from the multi-platinum selling album So, the first of Peter’s studio albums to have a proper title and a watershed release in his career. Its marriage of the artistic and the commercial made for an indisputable success, with the album quickly sitting atop the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Listen / Buy:

You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be - your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony

Show me round your fruitcage
'Cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be - your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm going to be - the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge Sledge Sledgehammer

I've kicked the habit, shed my skin
This is the new stuff, I go dancing in, we go dancing in

Oh won't you show for me and I will show for you
Show for me, I will show for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you, only you
You've been coming through
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power, hey
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power build in you

Come on, come on, help me do
Come on, come on, help me do
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh , yeh, yeh, you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night

So
Red Rain
Sledgehammer
Don't Give Up
That Voice Again
In Your Eyes
Mercy Street
Big Time
We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)
This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)

This is the best music video of all time.

If you're here because of Harry Styles, that's awesome and I'm so happy you discovered this gem.

Happy 74th Birthday Peter Brian Gabriel 02/13/1950 in Surry, England.
A living legend in the progressive rock genre.
From Garden Wall to Genesis to his solo albums. Musical perfection.

Cheers Peter Brian and many more..

Born 1970. Realise now we lived the glory years. Listening to this as a 16 years old and what the 80s offered us, never to be seen again. Lifes changing and sadly not for the good. What an era. Been a privilege

Iconic - creativity at its peak with limited VFX tools

Every 80s kid loved it and was mesmerised by the visuals

Peter Gabriel - the best music videos

Probably one of the most creative videos of the golden MTV era.
The amount of time and editing it took to make this, considering the state of technology at the time, must have been tremendous.
Kudos to all involved.

Man, does this song take me back to the better days! Raise your hand if you miss the 80's! 🤚🤚🤚

e.b.

Ok but can we talk about how INCREDIBLY well engineered the sound is on this entire album? Properly ahead of its time.

Amended-Fun fact: The folks behind these effects were Aardman Animations, who are most well known for Wallace & Gromit. Check a comment below to get more information on this entire video and the incredible work done within. The dedication is incredible and it shows! :D

I was born in '56, and that's hard to beat, music wise, and everything else.

boringtobewild

I remember being completely memorised by this as a child still has the same effect. Amazing music and artistry

I can't even begin to tell you how lucky I feel to have grown up in the golden age of the music video. Sledgehammer was one of the most important videos of its time and still, to this day, carries so much meaning to so many people.
