    Peter had left Genesis and was nervous about it, so he wrote this song to work it out within himself, and to give himself a bit of a pep talk that he was doing the right thing by going solo. I'll bet you'd dig his song "Shock The Monkey" if you haven't heard it yet.

We’d sing this song on the way home constantly. I graduated last year in May, and now with online college the two of us don’t have our alone in the car music time.

      The song is literally about him leaving Genesis. The first verse was when he came to the realization that he needed to leave. The 2nd verse is about him telling the band but staying to finish the tour and keeping quiet about leaving until after the tour, and the final verse refers to the last photos he took as part of the band at the Savoy Hotel where he's smiling and waving to the camera and the rest of the band weren't smiling.

    Admittedly, l was worried when he left Genesis that l'd never hear from him again. He did say he wanted to spend time with family and decompress. I needn't have worried. His first solo albums were like nothing ever heard before. Absolutely stunning music!

    • @kereminde
      @kereminde 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The whole thing around him leaving, I learned about later from my parents - who introduced me to it from putting on the last album Peter Gabriel did with Genesis: "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway". A concept album, which was - as they told me - a great amount of the impetus which put Peter on the path out of Genesis. They were going two different directions, and he had stress in his life which was a problem...
      ... luckily, Genesis survived. Peter survived. They both went on to great things. Things like that split destroy other bands.

    Peter is an amazing artist. I fell in love with his voice in Genesis, and followed him after he went solo. He's got a massive catalogue. I hope you dive deep into it. This is one of my favs.

If you like more heartfelt music by him, I suggest checking out "Here Comes the Flood", but NOT the version from his first solo album, but from Robert Fripp's solo album Exposure or from any of Gabriel's live performances in late 1970s or early 1980s.

    Yeah Peter Gabriel's first album that was probably the best example of somebody re-defining themselves. or Reinventing themselves this whole album was absolutely transformative it really was a big departure from what Genesis was doing I mean it took him a long time to get a solo album out because the last time he had done with Genesis was in 1974 and this first solo album came out in 77 that's where you two probably do a reaction to every song on that first album and you wouldn't be disappointed there's even a blue song on there can you believe that s***? But of course it's totally unconventional it has some twists and turns you've never heard in a blues song anywhere it's a song called waiting for the big one all right my man well there's that one song moribund. And the Burgermeister
