Peter Gabriel has always had music that was ahead of the time of the era that he wrote it in. This song, “In Your Eyes” was used as the pivotal piece in the late 80’s movie; “Say Anything”, featuring John Cussack and Lone Sky. The video is a wondrous visual treat, and always gives me goosebumps at the beauty of the lyrics.
“In Your Eyes”
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
love, I don’t like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the insidein your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the insidein your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
For those that have never see “Say anything” here is a trailer. For those that love a good classic movie from the 80’s….it’s worth looking out for. I really am a hopeless romantic. Cheers. RB x

I agree about the song. I don’t know this movie, though I happen to really like John Cussack. Thanks for sharing this.

And what’s wrong with being a hopeless romantic?? I’ll have to look for this movie – also like John Cusack 🙂 He must have been pretty young back then!

Mhm, a very young John Cussack. But he showed such potential even back then.

Yes he did. Funny how some actors just have that extra quality. Also, choosing very different off-beat characters has kept him interesting 🙂

Those that go above and beyond. We forget who they are and they become the character. He has that gift.
