NO SPOILERS: FX's The Americans doesn't always utilize music, though they did a few episodes back when they used Alabama's country hit "Old Flame" and Roxy Music's "More Than This" in the episode "The Midges." In general, the music selected for the show parallels the 1980's Cold War era in which the show takes place.

This week, in a scene involving another character in another part of the world, this song appeared, by an artist whose work has been heard before in the series:

"Lay Your Hands On Me" by Peter Gabriel (1982)



The song was included on his fourth solo album Peter Gabriel (1982), an album also known as Security in the US due to a sticker added to the top of the LP by his record company (seen above). Gabriel's 1980 single "Games Without Frontiers" was heard in the finale of Season 1 The Americans, "The Colonel" (Episode 13).
