Rated PG is a collection of songs from movie soundtracks, composed by Peter Gabriel. This album brings together on one disc a selection of Peter Gabriel's songs, written for or used in film productions.
Having always loved the combination of cinema and music (he dropped out of film school at 17 to pursue a musical career), Peter Gabriel first had the opportunity to marry these two interests when he was asked to compose the score for Alan Parker's film *Birdy* in 1985. Subsequently, several other soundtrack compositions for films such as Martin Scorsese's *The Last Temptation of Christ* and *The Long Walk Home* nourished his love for cinema, and Peter Gabriel continued to collaborate on numerous films.
