My Body is a Cage by Peter Gabriel

My Body is a Cage that keeps me from dancing with the one I love. 

If you don’t fall in love with the deep lyrics you will definitely be mesmerized with Peter Gabriel's calm soft voice. One of my favorite songs, I'm addicted to the humble music and deep striking lyrics. Peter Gabriel throughout the song keep singing in a humming tune accompanied with the soft slow and classical music. What makes me fond f this song is the serenity in the music and the confusion in the lyrics. The song is like a human rage, it begins soft and steady then suddenly it strikes. In the song this is manifested when a group of violins; a magnificent musical instrument, start to play the tune with a strong muse while Peter Gabriel raises his voice for the first time claiming his body as a cage then suddenly like an explosion them music goes back to the calmness as if being in harmony with the lyrics as Gabriel says his famous sentence "My mind holds the key". An influential song deep with emotions and meaning makes you a romantic.

Hope you enjoy it and provides you the serenity it presented me with
