Forums » Music » Song by another artist you would like Peter to cover?

Yes, I know he already scratched some backs, but if he ever was to tackle another artists song, what or which artist would you like him to cover? For me, one song I would like to hear him do would be: Marc Cohn's "Walking in Memphis". I really love the way this song is done, but for some reason I can hear Peter's voice and picture him on the keyboard/piano.

I'm going to stick to this song til the end of my days: "Creuza de Ma" by (the late) Fabrizio De Andre'. Genoa's best. Amazing PFM violinist Mauro Pagani co-wrote that, and I know that he knows PG. Also, there is a SMB-like international project concerning Fabrizio's songs. One can only hope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoVxtw5V3GQ

. . . .and Gabriel is also the favourite Artist of Mauro Pagani . .. yes, it would be a really fantastic cover, poetry of De Andre' with poetry and depth of Gabriel. .. .

I would love to hear him do "whats going on" or any Marvin Gaye song. I know its not good to go back, and Peter won't want to, but a re-working of a Genesis track would be interesting. Maybe not one of his - like ripples?

That would be a cool song, Matt.

both of Matt's sound appealing. I know he did I Heard it Thru the Grapevine and The Lamb/Back in NYC on early tours, I have downloaded copies of the first two. As for me, in the vein of him coving modern Indie-folk (Bon Iver) I popose a songby my favorite new band whih is similar but less know, the Head and the Heart. Ghosts by them would be interesting, perhaps even in a depressing mood a la SMB

A nice quiet acoustic song by Metallica, almost Irish ballad-like - Low Man's Lyric
