Since the beginning of 2023 when Peter Gabriel announced his new album called "i/o", the musician has been releasing a new song every full moon. The most recent one is "So Much", that was written and produced by him, with a string arrangement from John Metcalfe and Tony Levin playing bass. The track also has David Rhodes on guitar and the backing vocals made by Peter's daughter Melanie Gabriel. "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," Peter Gabriel said.
