I am sitting in my backyard in Yucaipa California after making dinner while listening to my favorite Genesis Album while is my favorite while cooking. I am a 57 year old man who bought this album during my Jr HS years which was 78-79 and played it religiously for an entire year amongst other great bands released during that time. This album is one of those that does not date for me, like many others growing up there are a select few that now at my age i can listen to and not only appreciate the musicianship that is Genesis but the reminiscence of that youthful time in my life when the world was so different and in a good way. The rendering of this classic song I appreciate and applaud you for you hard work in not only recreating one of the greatest songs ever recorded but to put so much time, effort and energy to include a cool video as well. As a fellow musician that plays a variety of instruments its a breath of fresh air to see others enjoying the same, recreating, recording and just having a wonderful time that is basically a celebration to this wonderful song. Kudos from California as i sit in the dark, late at night and so appreciate that i was blessed with the gift of music and appreciation of bands like Genesis …. Your rendition made my night… Much appreciated!!!!

Being a life long Genesis and Peter Gabriel fan, I found your cover interesting and refreshing. I've seen them a few times and even caught one of the Ray Wilson fronted gigs. Being ,67 soon and terminally ill my travelling days to watch my favourite bands are over, that's why I was so intrigued when I saw your post pop up, thank you. Weird thing, mostly when I hear the older Genesis songs by the end of it I have a tiny tear in my eye. I think because it reminds me of a better healthier life without opiates etc taking my pain, but also part of my memory gets wiped too. Good post and thanks again.

[@proghead59]

Similar timeline here: Wind and Wuthering was my first Genesis album, at age 17 in March 1977. It changed my musical direction profoundly through the remainder of that year. Now at age 65 I reflect that I am so fortunate to have been alive during this portion of the stream of time. For the last 47 years, Genesis and most of their solo works have been a huge part of my life. Even now, when I play a Genesis or related solo album that I have not heard in a few months, I still discover some incredible nuances in these recordings that I had missed before. I can only hope that 100 years from now, music students will be studying this material and enjoying it as much as I have.

Yeh!it even sounds better than the original..especially WHat a great video..so good

[@turtledirt6837]

Thank you Sally, for this, an inspiring rendition and creative film of one of my very favourite Genesis/Hackett songs. Yeah, I’m an old dude too, like many of the commenters, a fan since around ‘79 and still aspiring to be something of a multi-instrumentalist. You have a graceful and calm touch on the nylon especially, the loveliest example being the pregnant pause before the slightly hushed note that completes the melody at 1:40, and then repeated when the phrase repeats. I had to go watch some Hackett live videos and even he doesn’t do this! I’ll have to listen to the original to see if it’s there but regardless, it’s just so perfectly placed and quietly plucked. I was smiling start to finish, beginning with you trying not laugh at your cat’s contributions. That’s some good concentration! Cool to see you’re a keyboard/synth enthusiast too - those are some vintage and modern legends! I also appreciate you including Anthony Phillips as a Genesis member! His solo albums remain among my favourites - some songs being more or less half Genesis personnel. All members wrote songs that have been part of the soundtrack to my life for over 40 years: Steve - Leaving Ant - Which Way the Wind Blows Mike - At The End Of The Day Phil - The Roof Is Leaking Peter - Secret World Tony - Mad Man Moon And so “many too many” 😉 to count. S’pose I could… Once again, thank you for the shivers and congrats on such a rewarding endeavour!

Love the way you nail it all to its appropriate context . I were born in 76 . But can still feel In key to a time when the moral dilemma and outcome of ww2 was the be all and end all of what guided so much of society . My old history teacher a distinguished war veteran would be sickened to think of a land filled with Aldis and Lidels . With sushi bars on every other high street corner . Out of respect for his memory and what he sacrificed I never shop there .

[@DanielDennett-l9n]

Interesting. I can’t say I blame contemporary Germans and Japanese for the sins of their ancestors 80 years ago, any more than I think the descendants of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden should blame me as a naturalized US citizen born decades after WW2 and raised in the UK. Now living in Portugal, I can report that LiDL has the best bakery of any supermarket. It must make you seethe to see BMWs, VWs, Audis, Porsches, Hondas and Toyotas all over the roads and I guess my question would be, at what point do we forgive and move on? Another 20 years? That would be a century since the end of WW2. My bigger concern now would be that fascism is returning in a different form, in America for example rather than Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal… It’s not confined to a couple of nationalities, is it?

[@DavySaxon]

This is absolutely amazing. The musical rendition and the sounds, (especially the mellotron sound) is totally spot on. (I am also using Arturia Mellotron V, not by coincidence). For my taste the autotune on the vocals is a bit too much but still this is an outstanding work. The video too. It has that good old creepiness and surreal athmosphere too which perfectly fits the music in my opinion. Sally, you nailed it.

[@colorincoloriento2342]

I agree. She is a great musician, and good singer. Doesnt need that amount of autone, or at least, go down on the speed of tuning. Great work!

[@HerringElwood]

A beautifully intricate song - one of Steve Hackett's best. It wonderfully encapsulates 1970's England. It's such a pity he decided to leave Genesis just after he wrote this. That's when the decline started, not as most people think after Gabriel left. Hackett was unhappy that the rest of the band were favouring Tony Banks's songs over his, and listening to this you have to agree he had a point. Great cover and video by Sally Sparks. Love your work. (Right, now I'll make that tea!)

[@marksink1652]

Tony HAS praised this as one of the album's best.... and one that still moves him when he listens to it. If the band had just accepted one more Hackett song on W&W... (wasn't there some thought of making it a double?)... who can say what might have been.
