In Your Eyes

"In Your Eyes" is a track by English rock musician Peter Gabriel, released on his fifth solo studio album So (1986). The song blends rock with West African influences, featuring Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour performing a section in Wolof. For electric guitarists, it offers a rewarding mix of clean, textured rhythm playing and layered world-music-inspired arrangements that reward careful attention to tone and dynamics.

  • Senegalese artist Youssou N'Dour sings a closing section in Wolof, his native language, giving the track a distinctive world-music texture.
  • Gabriel's lyrics intentionally blur the line between romantic love and spiritual devotion, drawing on an African songwriting tradition.
  • The song appears on So (1986), widely considered Peter Gabriel's commercial and artistic breakthrough as a solo artist.
