On Monday, the twelfth full moon of 2023, Peter Gabriel<\/b> released the final track from his new album i\/o<\/i>. The song, the last to be written for the album, is titled “Live and Let Live.”<\/p>\n
In a break from previous months, all three mixes were released simultaneously, the Bright-Side Mix by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent<\/b>, the Dark-Side Mix by Tchad Blake<\/b> and the Atmos In-Side Mix by Hans-Martin Buff<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The song is accompanied by the striking ‘Soundsuit’ artwork of Chicago based artist Nick Cave<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Written and produced by Gabriel, “Live and Let Live” is a song about forgiveness, tolerance and optimism. <\/p>\n
“‘Peace only happens when you respect the rights of others’ is a quote from the Peace University in Costa Rica and I think that’s a really important message for me and for my life. You either belong to that hurt or you free yourself and forgiveness is clearly a super effective way of freeing yourself,” he said in a closing note for the album. <\/p>\n
“Live and Let Live” features contributions from Tony Levin<\/b>, David<\/b>, Rhodes<\/b>, Manu Katche<\/b>, Brian Eno<\/b>, Melanie Gabriel<\/b>, John Metcalfe<\/b>, Steve Gadd<\/b>, Paolo Fresu<\/b>, Soweto Gospel choir<\/b> and the New Blood Orchestra<\/b>.<\/p>\n
