Get ready to be surprised! Peter Gabriel, the musical genius behind iconic tracks, is positively buzzing about his song 'I Have the Touch' being featured in the upcoming film Marty Supreme. This isn't just any song; it's a deep cut from his 1982 self-titled album, and its inclusion has Gabriel genuinely thrilled. But why the excitement? Well, this song rarely gets the spotlight, making its appearance in Marty Supreme, a ping-pong-themed epic starring Timothée Chalamet, all the more special.
On his website, Gabriel expressed his gratitude to director Josh Safdie for choosing 'I Have the Touch.' He mentioned how infrequently the song is 'asked out for a dance,' and considering his love for table tennis, the connection feels perfect. The film has generated significant buzz, and Gabriel is eagerly anticipating seeing it on the big screen during the Christmas holiday. He even revealed that a table tennis setup is a staple backstage during his tours, available for his crew and band to enjoy.
And this is where it gets interesting... Gabriel inadvertently spilled the beans that Marty Supreme will feature two other synth-heavy songs from the 1980s: The Korgis’ “Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime” and Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” What's even more fascinating is the geographical connection between these tracks. Gabriel pointed out that all three songs were written and recorded around the city of Bath.
But here's where it gets controversial... While 'I Have the Touch' gets its moment, it begs the question: when will another director be bold enough to feature a song like 'Carpet Crawlers'? What do you think? Are you excited to see how these songs are used in Marty Supreme? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
