Peter Gabriel has once again surprised us with a new studio song. "The Veil" is tied in with the new Oliver Stone movie about Edward Snowden, that's set to arrive in theaters Sept. 16. Here's what Gabriel has to say about it all:
As we become so visible in the digital world and leave an endless trail of data behind us, exactly who has our data and what they do with it becomes increasingly important. Snowden’s revelations shocked the world and made it very clear why we need to have some way to look over those who look over us. With increasing terrorist attacks, security is critical, but not without any accountability or oversight. I was very happy to learn Oliver Stone had decided to make a film about Edward Snowden and believe this is a powerful and inspiring film. Oliver takes his music very seriously and I have always enjoyed collaborating with him and [music supervisor] Budd Carr.
