Peter Gabriel told his fan the story many times, a man who he met after a concert was from indian origins and when he was young, a medicine man brought him to a mountian and let a snake bite him. After that he had to go down without any help, to show how brave he was.
I used to dislike this song, skip it when I was listening to the Cd. But now I know its meaning, and listened to it very well again. It became one of my favourite songs in a couple of days.
