Chords for Peter Gabriel - Full Moon May 2023 - Four Kinds of Horses

_ _ So here we are in [Gb] rehearsals now and [B] and it's [Ab] time for the flower moon
Springtime is sort [Am] of here or half here in England [Bbm] anyway, so we like that _ and this time it's four kinds of horses
[Bb] _ It all [Gb] seems so simple
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ Remarkably [Gb] clear _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ Like the darkest [Gb] superhero _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ You will burst [Ab] into our feet
_ _ _ [Bb] So this song I [Gb] think
the focus for [Db] me is about the interesting marriage of
religion and
[Ab] violence _ and [Bbm] terrorism and how these
[Gb] two unlikely bedfellows
Sit [Bbm] together or mesh together
so
[Gb] It's trying to look at _
_ [Bbm] That and
[Gb] There was a wonderful film by Hani Abu [Db] Hassan called paradise now, which shows these two young men
_ [Ab] _ [Gb] who end up being [Bbm] trained to become terrorists and it's just a real [Bb] insight really into
_ Where the head goes _ _
So, [Gb] I think that was part of an inspiration but it was sort of more [Bbm] general
_ _ But anyway, [Ebm] I'm gonna talk a bit more about that and particularly the music
in the deep dive, so
_ [Bbm] If you want to join me in that I'll [Ebm] see you there
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ Are you something different but you do it
again
_ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] This _ _ is actually [Gb] an odd one out of the album in that this began on someone else's project
Richard Russell who's founder of Excel records and
_ Responsible for a lot of great music wanted to do a record of his own and he invited a few musicians to his place _ _
Including me and
_ Asked me to come up [Ab] with some ideas
for this project
_ [Bbm] _ Tried a few things some of which had [Gb] some good things to them, but didn't all [Bbm] together work and
_ [Gb] It's sort of late dormant this was 2015
I think for [Db] for quite a while and then I started playing around with it again and
thinking actually there's something here that I really should pursue and
it felt [Ab] like a
musical path opening up it started [Gb] to evolve into something else and
_ _ [Bbm] _ It took a while in [Ab] this first
_ Incarnation when I was trying to come up with some [Bb] stuff for Richard
[Ebm] It didn't really have a strong chorus to be fair to him because it didn't make the grade
[Bbm] _ _ _ And and [Eb] I worked on that and I tried a couple of different things and then in the [F] end found what we have now _
[Gb] And I think I was working with with Katie Mae [Bbm] in the studio.
We've got a sort of trip-hop [Ab] more
vibe which
Which I liked [Eb] better and seemed to sort of lock in
[Gb] On a feel for it an attitude
So [Bbm] that was really what took me into this [Eb] other place.
So I
Think it's now
[F] _
So found its found its feet is sort of grown
_ [Gb]
a lot of textures and evolved into a very different being but I
Hope you like it the artist this month is a fascinating artist
[Bbm] I think she does amazing work called Cornelia Parker
And [Eb] actually when we were looking at the art from us project, I'd seen some of the stuff she'd done with
[Gb] this is many years ago with exploding rooms and
being fascinated by that [Bbm] and so I'm
[F] really happy that she agreed to work with us on this and
she went down not far from us in the studio [Ebm] to a LACOC and
there's [Bbm] a
Museum for [Fm] Fox [Eb] Talbot who was one of the founders of photography and she was using some of the
Glasses [Gb] and the plates.
I forget if it's photo grove.
You can't remember the [Bbm] correct name for the technique
But these were an inspiration [Ebm] for her and in fact, there's this one [F] which has a glass broken
Which is the image that [Gb] I fell in love with and she let us use.
[Bbm] _ I
Think it's called snap _ _
[Ab] And on the show we're gonna have [Eb] some of this stuff because that's one of the exciting things for me [Ebm] as
an aspiring art group is to get [Bbm] to work with some of these amazing artists and
[Ab] _ _
[Db] See or get [F] a chance to integrate what they do and spend [Ebm] their lives perfecting
_ [Bbm] That we can use some of that [Eb] with what we're trying to do on the on the stage and
_ It's a real privilege
[Ebm] And a real pleasure.
So we had [Bbm] Cornelia down
not in this place, but previous place [Ebm] when we did production rehearsals and
Robert Lepage was [C] there and she whose work she knows very well
And she also happens to be best friends with
Jocelyn Pook who's an old friend of real-world of what wonderful composer and I've met her originally when she was playing with Electra strings but
we've done a great record with her too [Gb] on real world, but
so there are a few
side connections, but
we went through and looked at the work and it was the stuff around the broken glass that seemed to fit with the song and _
Also, she showed us quite a few negatives of _
_ photographic plates that she'd made and or or found and was working with and so
[Bb] we're looking at the sort of
[Ab] negative photographic world, you know as
[Eb] partly, you know trying to _ [Gb] honor and respect what she does, you know
Because I think [Gb] you know, we spend endless hours trying to get little [Eb] sounds right and similarly
obviously artists do the same [F] in their visual world, so _
[Gb] We're trying to
Find a way of bringing it into this [Ab] live environment and being respectful to the artists and their work _
But I hope I hope people
[Ebm] _ Enjoy it as much as I do
[Bbm] When they come to the talk _ _
[Ebm] We've been very lucky with some great artists and
_ [F] Yeah, and if you don't know Cornelia's work, please check it out she's had exhibitions at the Tate [A] and so on
_ and
It's it's very idiosyncratic and very powerful

Big thank you to [F] all the lunatics out there _
[Ebm] It's great to see you again.
_ I
Can't actually see you now, but maybe in a few days or a few weeks
I will be [F] singing so look forward to that.
Thank you very much
