Recently, I paid a visit to the Getty Villa in Malibu, California. Inside the museum, I saw a trophy vase from one of the first Olympic Games. I stared in awe. My mind was consumed with how much humanity has changed since then. I loved this ideal of putting aside wars and greivances in the name of honor. This vase didn’t symbolize winning or defeat, rather different people joyously unifying. Peter Gabriel’s sardonic lyricism accurately describes where we as a people have come since then. In 1980, it clearly spoke to a world where walls hadn’t crumbled, wars were still cold, and many countries boycotted the Olympic Games in Moscow. 30 years later, this song still has something to say. As I approached this song to remix, I wanted to keep the message in tact, yet approach it from a new angle and give it new life. I wanted to give it HOPE. It occured to me that interpreting the lyrics more literally shifted the soul of the song to a more innocent and childlike place. A place where there is whistling instead of war cries. I couldn’t help but think forward to the 2012 Olympic Games being held in London. I wanted to convey in this remix a sense that it is possible and desirable for us to use this event to prove how far we’ve come, to return to the original mentality to put aside differences, and to unify as a WORLD for one moment in time. I wanted to uplift, to be childlike, to smile, sing and dance…and whistle.
