Afro-Celt Soundsystem featuring Peter Gabriel
“When You’re Falling” (from Volume 3: Further in Time) — When You're Falling (feat. Peter Gabriel) - Volume 3: Further In Time

Gabriel’s obvious affinity for the quirky, odd rhythms of world music made him a natural fit for a cameo on this tune, a left-field radio hit in the immediate wake of 9-11. Considering the general tone and contents of the national conversation this past week, it was only fitting that this song would pop up in an iPod shuffle yesterday afternoon, and only predictable that I would spend the remainder of the day with its soaring chorus trapped inside my skull.
