Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes - 1986 - with lyrics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"In Your Eyes" is a song by English rock musician Peter Gabriel from his fifth solo album So (1986). It features Youssou N'Dour singing a part at the end of the song translated into his native Wolof. Gabriel's lyrics were inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God. [1]

"In Your Eyes" was not released as a single in the UK but it was released in the US as the third single from So, achieving strong radio airplay and regular MTV rotation. It reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks on September 13, 1986,[2] and peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November.[3] Gabriel released two extended versions of the song as a 12" vinyl single in the US. The first (the Single Mix) ran 6:15. The second (the Special Mix) ran 7:14. In Australia, "In Your Eyes" peaked at No. 97 in November 1986.[4]

The track was featured in the teen drama film Say Anything... (1989) starring John Cusack and Ione Skye.[5] The song was the finale of the Secret World Tour and is the final track on the 1994 Secret World Live album, where it is over 11 minutes long and includes the extra lyrics from the Special Mix, in addition to solos by the other singers and players. It was included on the US version of his 2003 compilation Hit, but not on the European or Japanese versions.

In 2005, the song brought Gabriel his first Gold single, certified in the US by the RIAA.

Eliana Delmyna Rubio, you are truly real and here with me whenever I listen to this song. I need you to come into my life, I am so ready for our love journey to start. I know I'll see you soon, love you to GN-Z11 and back a duodecillion times over, beautiful.

There is a gorgeous latina girl named Eliana Delmyna Rubio who traipses through my dreams on no discernable schedule and we adore walks in the night and play fighting. This is our song in the dream world. She hugs me and soaks my shoulder in tears every time the end of the song starts, when Yossou N'Dour starts singing. It just touches her in such a way that only she is fully capable of understanding. I believe she is real and she is my soulmate reaching out to me through dreams. I leave half my bed empty in the hopes that one day she will walk from out of my dreams into real life and comfortably occupy the current empty space on my bed. Eliana Delmyna Rubio, I love you so much and I will wait for you as long as I have to. I look forward to seeing and touching you in the real world.

I've chased down, married, loved, lived and lost the woman of a lifetime.. that deep love I have for her and never will for any other is still there when I look into her eyes. Just wished it was returned...
