"In Your Eyes"
Song

A hit rock/pop song from Peter Gabriel's 1986 album So, "In Your Eyes" reached #1 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and #26 on Billboard Hot 100 in both 1986 and 1987. It was not released as a single in the UK. Gabriel later released an extended version of the song which were 7-9 minutes in length (as compared to the original 5:29). Like many of his songs, "In Your Eyes" contains significant African influences, even more so when performed live (on the So tour) as an extended vocal duet with Youssou N'Dour.

In 1989, the song appeared in Cameron Crowe's classic romantic film, Say Anything. It is most famous for its appearance in the "boombox scene," where a broken-hearted Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) serenades his former girlfriend (Ione Skye) outside her bedroom window.

A pop/punk rendition of the song was released by the band SR-71.
