Deep and loud, to turn up the signal wipe out the noise
he writing stands out on the wall
Send out the signals, a smile while the cradle s burning
the seed will transmit
When all things beautiful and bright, and in that fuzzy picture To, and in that fuzzy picture
He writing stands out on the wall, that can find a way
You know the way that things go when what you fight for starts to fall, wipe out the noise, you know that s it you know that s it receive and transmit
I m losing sound and sight, to turn up the signal, while the cradle s burning
receive and transmit
You know that s it receive and transmit, all the while the world is turning to noise
The seed will transmit, and in this place, wipe out the noise
So clearly on the wall, yet there s still something in my heart
of all those who can tell me wrong from right
wipe out the noise
all the while the world is turning to noise
And in this place can you reassure me with a touch, send out the signals deep and loud
wipe out the noise
send out the signals deep and loud
to turn up the signal wipe out the noise
and in that fuzzy picture
a smile while the cradle s burning
To turn up the signal wipe out the noise, turn up the signal wipe out the noise
This song is so relevant today, when social media and politically manipulated media (noise) blots out what we need to know (clear signals). This is Peter's best musical creation by far. Truly inspired.
king of folk qawali music Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, also known by his followers as "USTAAD", mixed with the amazing Peter Gabriel, truly magical and inspiring.
To me, this song symbolizes our constant struggle against entropy. This universe is constantly trying to swallow us whole into meaningless chaos. Everything we do from being alive to interacting with the outside world, every dread and dream passing through our consciousness, every trace we leave of our existence is a desperate attempt to leave a meaningful signal in the midst of this all-encompassing noise.
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO is a measure used in science and engineering to quantify how much a signal has been corrupted by noise. It compares the level of a desired signal (such as music) to the level of background noise. The higher the ratio, the less obtrusive the background noise is. In other news: Excellent song! One of my favorites by this genius. You know that's it. Receive and Transmit!!!
