Peter Gabriel Reveal New Song 'Put the Bucket Down' Ahead of Upcoming Album, Promising a Journey Through Mind's Turbulence
In a latest move, singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel has dropped his new single "Put the Bucket Down," a track that embodies the turmoil and confusion we often face within ourselves. The song marks the second installment from Gabriel's forthcoming album 'o/i', which he will release with every full moon in 2026.
The concept behind "Put the Bucket Down" is rooted in self-discovery, where the listener is presented with a paradox - to put down one's thoughts and emotions, yet at the same time, seek their way forward. For Gabriel, this 'bucket' represents the constant noise in our minds that can be overwhelming. The song aims to bring clarity by shedding light on these turbulent thoughts.
The track, produced by Mark "Spike" Stent as part of the Bright-Side mix, finds Gabriel grappling with questions about the nature of reality and his own identity. As he delves into this inner world, the listener is invited to embark on a journey alongside him.
Gabriel's vision for 'o/i' is to challenge the notion that art should simply mirror society's expectations. Instead, he aims to capture the thoughts and feelings that lie at the heart of our being, those moments when we are forced to confront our own narratives. "The songs are a mix of thoughts and feelings," Gabriel says, reflecting on his upcoming album. "I have been thinking about the future and how we might respond to it."
With two full moons left before the release of 'o/i', Gabriel is set to continue his journey through this inner landscape with each new single, one that will culminate in a rich tapestry of sound reflecting our collective struggles for clarity and understanding.
