Olive Tree (song)

"Olive Tree" is a song by English musician Peter Gabriel, released in August 2023 as the eighth single in promotion of his tenth studio album I/O.

Gabriel and Oli Jacobs, who engineered the track along with Katie May, continued work on the demo, which included the pre-chorus and a different chorus that was later discarded.

Gabriel explained that his modus operandi was to facilitate creativity by recording long takes to provide musicians an opportunity to open up their playing.

[6] The cover artwork was created by Barthélémy Toguo and titled Chroniques avec la Nature, which depicts a fish and humanoid figure.

[2] In 2025, a music video created by Oranguerillatan was released to coincide with the launch of Gabriel's 50:50 platform, which was meant to facilitate engagement with visual artists by showcasing their work.

[7][8] "Olive Tree" has received mostly positive reviews, with some critics taking note of the brass arrangement found on the song's chorus.
