New Peter Gabriel song “The Veil”

This morning, Peter Gabriel has updated both, his website and facebook site. Besides a photo of a man in a boat on the water, also some lyrics were published:

One man in a boat out on the sea,

A sea of little bits of you and me.

We did a quick research and found some interesting facts. The picture seems to belong to a cover artwork of a possible single-release, called The Veil. The new track will be 5’51 minutes long, as AllMusic states (click here). There is also no information yet when the new track will be released. The track is taken from the new movie Snowden and is running during the end credits. The track is nevertheless not part of soundtrack of that film.

UPDATE:

The song will premiere on BBC Radio
6 Music’s Breakfast Show tomorrow (8 September) at 7:40am. The Veil will be released Friday 9 September on all digital download and streaming services.
The track was written and produced by Peter Gabriel and mixed by Tchad Blake.
