    So, so, SO glad you got back to Peter. "Solsbury Hill" was actually his first hit, after leaving Genesis (in 1977). He is a master entertainer, worthy of a deep dive. "In Your Eyes" (esp. the live version) is phenomenal, as is the live version of "Secret World". I also recommend his duet with Kate Bush, "Don't Give Up", which is as uplifting a song as you'll find. "Digging in the Dirt", "I Have the Touch", "Steam", "Big Time"... so many great songs to choose from!! And speaking of artists/bands you've only done one time.... PLEASE give Radiohead another try. Jay, you did "Creep" in your very first week, and didn't like it. But you've come so far since then, and they are WORTHY of another chance. "Fake Plastic Trees", "Karma Police", "There There".... they are amazing.

I have a vivid memory of shopping for clothes at The Bay in Ottawa, Canada, it played in the store and I abruptly stopped what I was doing, to listen. A very simple memory but again I'll never forget being moved by this.

    Peter Gabriel is wonderful. My favorite of his is “Biko” a song about Steve Biko, an anti-apartheid activist who was beaten to death by South African (then governed by the white minority) State Security Officers in 1977. Biko was 30 years old when he was killed. He became one of the most important political martyrs of the anti-apartheid movement. Well worth a listen.

    The song is about the trepidation, anxiousness and, finally, elation that he feels as he readies to leave his band, Genesis: "Open doors would soon be shut," "So I went from day to day, Though my life was in a rut," and "I was feeling part of the scenery, I walked right out of the machinery." He's ready to go: "Watched by empty silhouettes ... I will show another me." Then, when he makes the announcement: "Today I don't need a replacement / I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant / My heart going "Boom-boom-boom." Among Gabriel's finest.

    Thanks for the explanation. It seems to me Genesis was never the same after he left. Genesis became increasingly commercial - making music that does not stand the test of time. In the meantime, Peter Gabriel became better and better. I have a sense Fleetwood Mac had the same “machinery” character. Great interview with Bob Welch saying he never felt like he belonged and could be easily replaced.

    Peter Gabriel was one of the founding members of the imaginative group Genesis. Early Genesis, with Gabriel, is unlike anything you’ve done so far…it is progressive rock at its finest. Some true masterpieces of the rock genre. One of those masterpieces is “Firth of fifth”. I hope you get around to it, it will take you places believe you me.

    Lyrics: [Verse 1] Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen, had no choice [Chorus 1] I did not believe the information I just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home" [Verse 2] To keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Though my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut [Chorus 2] I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Hey," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home" Ay, back home [Verse 3] When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me [Chorus 3] Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home"

    I feel like you have to see Peter live. My big suggestion would be "In Your Eyes," from Secret World and "Shaking the Tree." Like a lot of the story tellers from our time, the very best way to get the experience is to listen or watch it all in order. the Secret World Concert and then I think it is called Growing up, are pure magic. I think the videos, although interesting are kind of distracting to his music. Go Live all the way. If you can find it, Kiss that Frog is such a fun song.

    Peter Gabriel’s creativity placed him way out in the cutting edge at the time and he often came across as weird or strange. He wasn’t one of my favorite performers personally, but this song and it’s spiritual tone is simply beautiful. This one song would have established him as great even if he never did anything else. His muse was definitely with him the day he wrote this.

    Wonderful song. I've seen Peter Gabriel many times over the years from the early 80s up until 2008. The song is from his first solo album in 1977 and is mainly about leaving Genesis as their lead singer. That role was subsequently filled by their drummer Phil Collins before he also went onto become hugely successful as a solo artist in the mainstream. Peter was always a bit more niche with superb quality of output.

    Collins sang all the high vocal harmony parts. "Seconds Out" was a double live album, recorded after Gabriel's departure. Collins fronted the band (singing right well) and played drums on a few songs and shared or played along with Bill Bruford and Chester Thompson on others. It's really a stunning performance and I suggest Los Endos/Dance on a Volcano as an example.

Thank you for another great reaction. Again, I'd love for you two to react to Marvin Gaye, if you're not opposed to it for any particular reason. "Heard it Through the Grapevine", "Mercy Mercy Me", "Take This Heart of Mine", "Wholy Holy", "Suny", "Let's Get it On"... Just for a start. He was an outstanding vocalist and there seems to be a dearth of reactions to him.
