Peter Godwin is a musician who was part of the band, Metro, as well as a solo artist and songwriter.

His work includes "Criminal World" which was covered by David Bowie[1] and 1982's "Images of Heaven" [2] which was a "cult favorite on new wave radio stations"[3] The dance remix of his song "Baby's in the Mountains" was a big dance hit and described as "intricate but direct" with some lyrics that are "hopelessly pretentious".[4]

Godwin's 1983 solo studio album, Correspondence[3] was issued by Polydor Records.

In 1998, a number of his songs from his time with the band Metro, his early 1980s solo work, and a couple of new songs were released on CD. The title was Images Of Heaven: The Best Of Peter Godwin, and it was released on Oglio Records.[3]

He wrote lyrics with a "spiritual bent" for Steve Winwood's 2008 album Nine Lives.[5]

He apparently maintains his own YouTube site called 'petergodwin13' and replies regularly to comments and queries posted thereon.
