what an uninspired, lame version. does anybody understand why this had to be published? should have stayed in the closet....
A nice folky version about the history of apartheid. But it's missing the anger and protest about the reality - and brutality - of apartheid that Gabriel created.
Yes, no need for this version. At all. Period.

Hard to do that, but PG probably is not going to release it again, so good to have the story and song out again by a well-known artist, and maybe people will revisit the original to compare for themselves.
Way too mellow. Love Paul, but... this is a fail.

That's my take too.  PG's version is SO soulful and emotional, I can't accept this one...
