here comes the flood, by peter gabriel
late night road trips are one of the best places for creative project discussions (next to a good diner, of course). i recently enjoyed just such a night drive from los angeles to san jose with my friend and director, jess brillhart. she had just wrapped her part on the fox reality show, “the lot”, wanted some downtime in the bay area and, i suspect, an iPhone. we talked about the current state of media and i went on a rant about youtube being the future of everything. we talked about this flood of talented people creating for themselves and sharing with the world, we talked about how best to promote what we love to do and, of course, we talked about peter gabriel. all good road trips must contain peter gabriel. this video came about from this full moon drive. i don’t claim to know what peter originally wrote this song about but the line, “the actor’s gone, there’s only you and me” struck a chord with us. we hope it resonates with you as well. use it as a mantra, if you like. there’s only you and me… there’s only you and me… thanks for listening, timothy and jess please check out more of jess’ work at: www.youtube.com
I like your setup. Nice idea. You need a producer/friend that can tell you where you fuck up, like the voice multitracking, etc.
nice intrepretation
Beautiful! Beautifully sung, beautifully shot! I like Peter Gabriel too. My verse of choice would be ‘The jaded waves hurled metal at the sky’. It’s so elemental.
Wonderful,Jess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. . . felicidades y gracias . . tngregory

A brilliant cover of one of my favorite songs! Chapeau!!!
“all good road trips must contain peter gabriel. . . ” as you said. This appears to have been one of the best. Thanks for bringing it to us, especially since I couldn’t be there personally at that time.
Yep. Looks like Youtube wins again.
Loved it. Thanks for sharing. You have talent.
again: excellent work!!!! – this time without the cup. . . good good
kudos to you!!!
kind regards!!!!
Du hast unrecht. Er macht es gut. Zuerst dachte ich auch: Wieder so ein blöder Nachahmer. Aber ich bin eines besseren belehrt. Er immitiert nicht und hat einen eigenen Ausdruck und auch eine gute Stimme!
tngregory. . . u are the definition of creativity. I am sitting here just in awe of this amazing rendition of such a brilliant song.
It is dangerous waters one sails upon when attempting to touch something so sacred.
This was wonderful & as some of the comments convey (in compliment to your talent),please compose or show us the way to your original compositions.
You cannot give us the taste then deny us the feast.
All the best to u Sir & email me your works. I am interested in owning them.
molto bravo!!
WOW. You send shivers down spine.
In Sweden we says ståpäls “Standing fur”
God, this is good!
simply great!
i cringed, but it turned out to be . . . . alright
i suspect you should present own material. . . i mean that in a nice way. good luck.
Bravo, c’est plein de promesses et d’émotion.
poor voice, no feeling for the hidden rhythm. You should give up trying to imitate Gabriels voice. The video is cool, looks futuristic with this cold color-touch. fine
Very nice video. . . Good voice. . .
