Willis:

Upon my listening to the PG OVO disc --- I would also like to recommend that one --- if you don't already have it, that is.

During the GROWING UP LIVE shows --- PG featured three songs from OVO during the concert --- the sadly prophetic THE TOWER THAT ATE PEOPLE; FATHER, SON; and DOWNSIDE UP --- which featured the beautiful vocals of daughter MELANIE.

DOWNSIDE UP features the following EMOTIONAL RELEASE as its' lyrical hook:

OVO! OVO! Oh-Oh-Vo! OVO! OVO! Oh-Oh-Vo! OVO! OVO! Oh- Oh-Vo!

NOTE: Two things to note here regarding OVO --- first, OVO obviously relates to the egg and birth. Secondly, and more fascinating, was my discovery that the GRAPHIC SYMBOL comprised of the three CAPITAL letters --- OVO --- appear in the INTERGALAGTIC HYPERSPACE ARCHETYPE DICTIONARY --- and the meaning relates to fertility --- again, the egg and birth.

The INTERGALAGTIC HYPERSPACE ARCHETYPE DICTIONARY is used by humans and extraterrestrial / intra-dimensional entities to communicate outside of their native languages. The entry for OVO appears on pg. 81 --- I have a copy of this fascinating and jaw-dropping book.

OVO! OVO! Oh-Oh-Vo! OVO! OVO! Oh-Oh-Vo! OVO! OVO! Oh- Oh-Vo!

During the two shows that I saw in Toronto on the GROWING UP world tour (front leg and back leg) --- the place was electrified by the release of the tremendous amount of energy that took place during this part of the song. If you have the GROWING UP LIVE DVD --- you can hear the wild audience crescendo of applause during this part of the song.

I thought that perhaps you might enjoy knowing about PG's deeper connection to life, the metaverse, and the larger issue of spirituality --- that occurs within the framework of some pretty fucking excellent music.

One last comment --- I enjoy MELANIE GABRIEL singing OVO much more than I did hearing Elizabeth Fraser on the actual studio CD. The deep-rooted emotional familial connection puts forth the spiritual theme of the song in a much better manner.

01) PETER GABRIEL - OVO (Real World Records, 2000)

03) STEWART SWERDLOW - The Healer's Handbook: A Journey Into Hyperspace (Intergalatic Archetype Dictionary, OVO entry, pg. 81) This book is (c) 1999, which means it was released BEFORE the PG OVO disc!!

OVO! OVO! Oh-Oh-Vo! OVO! OVO! Oh-Oh-Vo! OVO! OVO! Oh- Oh-Vo!
