Hear another new song from Peter Gabriel, “So Much”

Peter Gabriel has shared another new song from his upcoming album i/o, which is due out later this year. After sharing earlier singles like the title track and “Panopticom,” he’s shared “So Much (Dark-Side Mix)”. Hear it below.

Gabriel said in a statement on his website, “I was trying purposefully not to be clever with this. I wanted to get a very simple chorus but one which still had some substance to the harmony and melody. Something that was easy to digest but still had a bit of character to it.

So Much is about mortality, getting old, all the bright, cheerful subjects, but I think when you get to my sort of age, you either run away from mortality or you jump into it and try and live life to the full and that always seems to make a lot more sense to me. The countries that seem most alive are those that have death as part of their culture.“
