I have been having the usual trawl through youtube for 80's songs and always return to same 2 melodic masterpieces of "the first picture of you" and China Crisis - Best Kept secret.
We all need to bring "the first picture" back into the charts, i played journey for years on gigs as early evening gigs as well as Amarillo until someone put a stupid dance to it, Peter we are going to chamion the cause to get this song in front of the young who listen to soul less drivvel!
Stay safe and in good health x

Really looking forward to the new Lotus Eaters album, I listen to the Differance recordings and Meltdown For The Mindless all the time, they put me in such a good mindspace! Stay well and Happy New Year x

Every time we get really plastered we go through you-tube and play songs of old and always end up reminiscing about sitting in your kitchen (the same one in "Reach for the sun") and Deborah gets all emotional

We're home in August for 3 weeks in between moving from the USA to Bahrain (job move)
If you're free we've love to hook-up
call us
always in our thoughts (more so when we're drunk - but there all the same)
Andrew & Deb (Matt too with the latest addition.... Ben - likes the music but not yet met the man!!!!)

I have loved the Lotus Eaters from the beginning. I absolutely am fascinated by "It Hurts" and it's haunting black and white sub-theme within the video. I'd love to travel to England to see this unique band this summer.

Hello Peter,
Remember going to several dates on your headline tour (1984?) Always thought the manager must have failed miserably at Geography. I mean Leeds, Glasgow followed by Sheffield..bizarre!
Anyway, met you and the rest of the band several times and what joyous times they were. Even remember having a mutual cardigan appreciation moment with you at Bath Moles or some such other hole.
Your voice still inspires poetry in me.
Keep it up la,
Wayney

How I would love to hear your songs.....I first saw you (in your video "the First Picture of You") way back when I was in my teens...truly you have one of those people who have that powerful voice---I just love everything about you--voice and songs.....goodluck and more power...

Hi pete
You might remember me; I was a teacher at Liverpool Community College (Riversdale) some years back and you were working with the Basic Skills students. (You were a lovely placid influence there). I now work as a learning mentor in a school here - but, as ever, will be moving on soon. Glad to hear you are still making music - and will be listening out for any new stuff. Take care & wishing you artistic fulfillment in all your endeavours,
Tracy x

Just have to thank you for "the first picture if you" I know you have written lots more but this has to be the best feel good song of all time. My kids love it and ask me to play it when Im driving. Anyway keep doing what your doing and don't forget your songs are still having an effect on people.

God bless

Ciao Peter!!!
Really a big surprise to found this site. My congratulations!! In the 80's I was a big fan of Lotus Eaters and bought your vinils, especially the extended-versions of many singles, such as "The first picture of you" or "You don't need someone new". I remember those videos and sometimes saw them again on MTV special 80's. They're so beautiful.I couldn't imagine all the things you did during these years, I will buy all of your new cds and hope to see you live someday here in Italy or better still in San Marino!!
Love you,
Ciaooooo!!! :-) :-)

May 17, 2007

Hi Peter,
just found your site after listening to 'Last Picture of You' again, through all of my depression it is one of the songs that really give me a lift and you are right music can do for you what drugs will never do. Strangly I to found some inner peace by moving to France, must be the tranquility. Love to you my friend, just keep on keeping on.

best regards

Dave

Hi Peter! I love Ricochet! Can´t wait for the new album. Greetings from Halmstad, Sweden. You have many fans (friends) here.

Tina Marie

May 4, 2007

Dear Peter,

I can't tell you how delighted I am to have heard your song again, The "First Picture of You". That song is just so special, and that song definitely stood out in front from a lot of the music in the 80's. I feel people get nostalgic about a certain time in their life; even if the music wasn't really that good in hindsight.

However, it is not that way in your case. Over twenty years after first hearing the song, it still sounds fresh.

I now live in Anchorage, Alaska, but watching your very innocent video on You Tube brings me back to a time in my life when things were so much simpler.

Thank you for your gift...

With warmest regards.

Tina Marie

Hi Peter,
I´m from mexico city and i´d like it get the lyric´s "it hurts (there must be taste of murder in it)", because the song is wonderful.

I hope your answer. thank you

Andy

March 16, 2007

I know that some people have been looking for the guitar chords to "The First Picture of You" (and I'm one of them). I had a bash at it last night and reckon you can't go far wrong with:

Verse
A6 and D6 then
E and D6

Chorus
A, E and D

It's probably not in the right key if you want to play along with the track but it suited me. It is a great song and everyone loves it when they are reminded of it or hear it for the first time.

Dawn

March 11, 2007

My darling daughter who is 15 years old was playing your The first picture of you..song & video on you tube..I could not believe my ears and eyes. She told me that she remembers me singing this song to her when she was 6 and I was singing the song on Saturday Morning....I did a search of your name Peter and found this site....thank you for your amazing songs. ~_~ xxx and your looking great.

Merry Christmas Peter, hope you’re having a good one!

Isn’t it funny how some songs are so emotive they can completely transport you back to a particular time, place or person, music has a way of making you remember.

Peace out,
