As Peter Gabriel promissed, every full moon he would release a new song from his new album “i/o” and the latest one was “Olive Tree”. The track was written and produced by Gabriel and according to him is a song about connection “both how we interact with nature and the other species around us, but also a greater sensitivity to the potential for broadening human experience.”
Hear the new Peter Gabriel song “Olive Tree”:
“In some ways I do think we are part of everything and we probably have means to connect and communicate with everything that we often shut off.”
“We only want to see and listen to the things that seem important and relevant to us and shut out the noise of everything else when, probably, hidden in that noise there are all sorts of things that can help us realise our place in this future world.”
“It feeds into this idea that we’re no longer these islands that have our own private thoughts, that our thoughts are going to get opened up to the outside world.”
“The lubrication that allows society to function is based, in part, on not being able to read what’s going on in other people’s minds, so unless we get more comfortable with how we really are, we’re probably going to prefer to stay partly buried in our private worlds,” Peter Gabriel said.
