The Book of Love was written by Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields and features on Peter’s album Scratch My Back.
The Scratch My Back album, released in 2010, was conceived as a songwriters exchange project where Peter covered some of his favourite songs and in return the artists he chose would then cover one of his songs. The reciprocal album And I’ll Scratch Yours was released in 2013.
This version of The Book of Love was arranged by Nick Ingman with Peter Gabriel and Will Gregory and features the vocals of Melanie Gabriel.
