This song is guitarist Steve Hackett's crowning glory with Genesis. He sometimes struggled to have his compositions accepted by the band for inclusion on albums. But this is one song from him that all four members embraced. Nick, you're right. This IS a masterpiece, from a great the Genesis album 'Wind and Wuthering'. Great reaction guys.

@rigelmoon9030 Yes indeed it was. As Steve once put it so eloquently (as he often does), once you give birth to a song, it can never be unborn. In recent years I've come to learn that Steve's writing contribution to Genesis music was bigger than I thought. For instance, it washed and Phol who wrote 'For Absent Friends' (Nursery Cryme album), and Steve was also the major writer for 'Can-Utility and the Coastliners (Foxtrot album)

Blood On The Rooftops is pure Steve Hackett. Him and Phil wrote this, and it was one of the few tracks he tried to get on the album. One of the reasons he left the band is because much of his material was getting rejected. This song has such a wonderful romantic feel to it with a beautiful haunting melody. Steve of course is a brilliant classical guitarist too having recorded many classical albums too. It's great that when he tours he still plays all these Genesis classics in their entirety, he was the true romantic spirit of the band. This particular album Wind And Wuthering has a beautiful flow to it. The final suite of songs Unquiet Slumbers For The Sleepers/In That Quiet Earth/Afterglow are just sublime, they are all short tracks but have to be listened to together as they bleed into each other. Live theses tracks are just off the scale! Steve still plays them as off the album, whereas Genesis used to chop them up and uses in medleys. Great reaction again guys, and would love to see you do the aforementioned final suite of tracks from Wind And Wuthering, I think you will be totally moved by them especially Afterglow.

Man would I love to be able to hear this song (and other genesis) for the first time again!!!! Nick, I’m 56. I went through a similar discovery of Genesis as a teenager. A friend gave me a cassette of And Then There Were Three. I was HOOKED. Phil’s voice. The compositions. The ethereal sounds of Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford. I then went backwards to get earlier albums. Holy cow! I then turned all my high school friends on the this band… and they fell in love as well. Pre-Genesis… I probably like YES the most. Jon Anderson’s voice, and some great prog. Still do! But for me… Genesis just had every aspect of what I personally love. Listening to new albums or old, for the FIRST TIME all those years ago, pretty much defined my life. That’s how much I was into Genesis. I heard you say on another video, “for me, Genesis is probably my favorite.” I was pumped to hear you say that. I like a LOT of music. There are many great bands, of course. Steely Dan… unbelievable. But different. YES… incredible. But a bit more sporadic (like Jazz is) than Genesis. Zeppelin? Hello! But a totally different genre. Genesis is heavenly, smart, deep, soulful, rich, story-telling, classical undertones, etc. When I would get another album to explore (like W&W)… I can remember the experience of hearing the chord changes and just being like, “Yes! That’s the RIGHT place to go!” Or “oh man, that is sooo good!” It happened constantly. So delightful.

It helped me escape the "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" mindset that seems to have grabbed our cultures and is causing this huge population of homeless people. The style of rock is fine, but the hedonism that can only lead to difficulties which some bands (not older Prog bands) was never historically anything other than a way to self-destruction.

This is one for which the lyrics are SO important. It's about how many people try to avoid what's going on in the world and escape into creature comforts, sports and other entertainment. And the way the music complements the lyrics is unparalleled. Wind & Wuthering is my favorite Genesis album. It's the music that first drew me into them as artists and really helped me shift from being a "pop music" fan (at age 16) to appreciating the sophistication of progressive rock.

Phil's great voice, lyrics and of course drums. I saw Steve Hackett and his band perform this and many other Genesis songs at a local theatre 3 years ago with Nad Sylvan on vocals. Steve's guitar work is utterly sublime and his band are tight! Acoustic, Classical or electric, all fantastic. Steve and his band are still touring Europe at the moment until mid 2023, playing a large set of Genesis songs. Supper's Ready is astonishing.

Interestingly the two of them wrote a short little acoustic gem on Nursery Cryme in 1971 - both joined the band in that year as Genesis were in transition. The song is called ‘For Absent Friends’. It would be worth a listen. Very English, touching…theme of lyrics the mundane routine and meandering of two widows supporting each other without their spouses.

Pleased you enjoyed this one Lex!! Brilliant. It highlights one of my bugbears about Genesis and thats the little recognition Steve Hackett gets. People always talk of the Gabriel era or the Collins era.but at this point Phil, although a fantastic drummer and vocalist, was not a main writer for the band. Ultimately as we know Hackett left because he didnt feel he was getting enough of his material on but this song is one of his best and the Genesis sound, to my mind, changed completely once he left. Just listen to the difference in atmosphere from this album to the next( And then there were 3) where the guitar sound is much more basic. Also Hacketts solo catalogue is the most ‘progressive’ of all the members. Please as an example i really think youd enjoy the song Shadow of the Hierophant from his first solo album Voyage of the Acolyte. Done while still with Genesis, phil and mike play on it as well. Plus wonderful vocals from Sally Oldfield( mike oldfields sister). A song in two parts with some guitar tapping during the mid section, years before Eddie Van Halen etc…Sorry for the rant but i think Steve has never been given the recognition he deserves for the early Genesis sound.

All the tracks on these albums, I expect, will appeal to you: 1970 Trespass, 1971 Nursery Cryme, 1972 Foxtrot, 1973 Selling England By The Pound, (you've completed 1974 The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway), 1976 A Trick of the Tail, 1976 Wind & Wuthering, and 1978 ...And Then There Were Three.

This is my favourite Phil Collins Genesis song

Probably the best song on Wind & Wuthering with Entangled right up there too. Stunning.

What can be said. Nothing like good GENESIS. Nik and Lex get it at 7:29. Look at those smiles. Great reaction guys. Happy New Year Tom from Toronto

My favorite part of the song, too. Tony's piano and Mellotron take this to another level.
