Peter Gabriel’s creativity expands into many horizons that we can imagine. In fact, he plans to release new songs from his new album – every full moon only.
The said album, named i/o, gave a glimpse of its new song “Panopticom” on January’s first full moon on January 6th at midnight. The track features Brian Eno’s creative electronics; moreover, i/o serves as Gabriel’s first album for over a decade.
“Today, on the first full moon of 2023, Peter releases the first new song from his forthcoming album i/o,” Peter Gabriel’s official account gave its statement. “Written and produced by Peter, ‘Panopticom’ was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire and The Beehive in London.”
The ex-Genesis frontman, now a soloist of his right, is said to begin his tour in European countries such as the UK and is ready to perform his new songs from the album. Any updates regarding the North American tour will be announced later on.
We can sing along to Peter Gabriel’s new song with the lyrics presented below.

By Peter Gabriel
[Verse 1]
In the air the smoke cloud takes its form
All the phones take pictures while it’s warm
[Chorus]
Panopticom
Let’s find out what’s going on
Panopticom
Let’s see where clues are leading
Panopticom
Won’t you show us what’s going on?
Panopticom
So how much is real?
And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground
Takin’ in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode
Tentacles around you
Around you
[Verse 2]
From above and deep below the ground
It was in Berlin
That all the evidence was found
Look from the street
And we look down from the skies
See through the barriers
We can see through all those lies
[Chorus]
Panopticom
Let’s find out what’s going on
Panopticom
Let’s see where clues are leading
Panopticom
Won’t you show us what’s going on?
Panopticom
So how much is real?
And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground
Takin’ in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode
Tentacles around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
