It is certainly great. And it’s more about the musicians than Gabriel. Question to me was always why after Peter left the musicians could never reach this compositial and musical level again. Nothing they made after Lamb could measure up. The general decline in music quality after 1974 was a tragedy as the shitshow tsunami crashed over us wreaking havoc on popular music : punk, disco, synth pop, rap, hiphop, techno, EDM, Nickelback, … all which DESTROYED music.

[@-EndlessHorizon]

The path is clear Though no eyes can see The course laid down long before And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen Though many times they've seen the way to leave He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair The scene of death is lying just below The mountain cuts off the town from view Like a cancer growth is removed by skill Let it be revealed A waterfall, his madrigal An inland sea, his symphony Undinal songs Urge the sailors on 'Til lured by the sirens' cry Now as the river dissolves in sea So Neptune has claimed another soul And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen Until the shepherd leads his flock away The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change

Now I’m old and dying slowly from a chronic illness. I have a list of songs of various bands and artists I want to have played at my funeral, if they have one for me, and Firth of Fifth is on it, along with Supper’s Ready, and the instrumental version of FZ playing What’s New In Baltimore. Beyond the Sea is on it, too, as well as Armstrong’s Wonderful World. When I get sick enough to merit the really good drugs, I’m planning on making up a playlist of these great songs, and I’ll listen to them while I unobtrusively remove myself from life’s chessboard, and join my friends and family who have gone before.

An UNDINE is a mythological figure of European tradition, a Water Nymph who becomes human when she falls in love with a man but is doomed to die if he is unfaithful.Origin. Late 19th century.

There are so many different musical passages in this song - and of course in many other Genesis songs - but all together they make a whole unmatched by any other band. Starts off with that magnificent solo by Tony - he's really an underrated composer/keyboard player, and again that short solo at 4:08. Before that the flute solo by Peter, and him singing is amazing. And then of course Steve's wonderful guitar solo at 5:42 - not just another guitar solo just for the sake of it, but another passage that has a meaning, that really speaks with your mind. And Phil is to Genesis what Ringo was for the Beatles, yes even more so. All in all, five geniuses working together, very seldom seen or heard. No weak points, all highly competent and talented. And this song is no doubt a masterpiece. But so is the entire album. Another masterpiece is Nursery cryme, just like Selling... there are no bad songs, no fillers. Excellent songwriting!! 💯🎶🎵

Absolutely - this is up there in my top ten of Genesis songs - spellbinding guitar solo!!

Phil and Ringo...sacrilegious...unless, of course the question was about being the least talented member of the band.

The Lamb and Selling England by the pound are both musical masterpieces...Peter Gabriel was,the master....if you only listen to 1980s mainstream Genesis, your missing out on pure genius....

[@curtisboswell2619]

I have to agree completely. If Genesis is an iceberg, then the eighties "pop" Genesis is merely it's very tip. So very much more awaits those who go looking deeper, beneath the waters of pop mediocrity.

I will never tire of listening to this album. This song I used to play to death back in my bedroom when I was a young teenager. My parents actually enjoyed it over other albums I owned. Though my preferred method of listening was with headphones. I'm surprised I'm not deaf. I also married a sound guy for a band my boss was in so I should be deaf. Now I'm going on 61, I can't see well but I still have my hearing 🤗🙏🥳

Firth Of Fifth is a sun in my days, never tired of listening to it... Mind blowing and inspiring :)

Amazing classical piano.

[@antonellomurru7815]

One of the best solo piano and guitar ever...and both in the same song!

[@dmr9767]

El solo se Steve Hackett es increíble. Es emocionante, cálido y profundo hasta nostálgico diría yo. Me hace llorar muchas veces.

[@lumibinatube]

Everything in its place, simply Genesis' best song ever.

[@marcorela1737]

Assolutamente il pezzo + bello nella storia de rock,nettamente al Numero 1,nelle classifiche di ogni tempo,in questo brano vi è proprio tutto,momenti onirici,di pathos,fraseggi al flauto e alla bellissima voce dell'arcangelo,mastro Tonio un fiume in piena alle tastiere,Stefano commovente alla chitarra,Filippo e Michele imbastiscono ritmi e controtempi da paura in una sola parola GENESIS the GOAT

[@massandrolinveagesti5085]

Musica elaborata e ricercata che non tutti sanno apprezzare, specialmente i cambi di ritmi e chiavi musicali. Stratosferici

I’m 53 years old and have never heard this masterpiece! What amazing, complex work! Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to look for this LP somewhere!

[@ErFoxy71]

Absolute MASTERPIECE!

[@martinadolfodelapena5063]

Such a great song. Beautiful music.

[@antomus]

After 50 years still something fantastic!❤

[@chazinko]

Tony Banks piano solo is the best!

[@giuseppelattanzio3330]

Una delle VETTE più ALTE del ROCK ROMANTICO...e dei GENESIS. Brano memorabile che sembra USCITO dalla MUSICA CLASSICA, dove il PATHOS aumenta se l'ascolto avviene nella PENOMBRA e meglio ancora...in una SERA con la LUNA. 👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastica

[@derOssii]

Genesis mit Peter Gabriel ist das autentische . Später hat dann Collins mit seinem Schlagzeug nur noch alles zerhämmert

[@bronskyproko9848]

Ce morceau est tellement bon qu'il pourrait figurer sur The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway !

[@hbb49]

Absolument ! c'est magnifique, j'avais 14 ans, ce sont les copains de mon grand frère qui m'ont fait découvrir cette merveille, c'était en en 74.

[@barbararichardson8584]

This is without a shadow of a doubt one of my favourite Genesis songs and is definitely up there in my top ten songs. Their ability to showcase so many different ranges throughout this song is truly amazing. Spell binding in only true Genesis style!!

[@BigDaddyAEL]

The absolute peak of Genesis, a bonafide musical triumph!
