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.

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.

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.

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.

One of my high school classmates, Steve The Deacon Hunter, is playing the acoustic guitar (solos too) on this recording. I think of him every time I hear this song.

This is such an "English" song; I can't imagine an American band coming up with anything like it.

@TheSanityInspector--I know what you mean. We used to go to the UK every year for about a decade, and before I'd been there I'm not sure if I completely understood the 'feel' of this song. (I liked it, but i didn't have a 'sense' of it somehow.) But road trips across England and Scotland, the rolling stretches of beautifully manicured but open green... It's exactly how I finally came to appreciate the bagpipes too, honestly. And I guess parts of Appalachian music carry a bit of this feel, but the 'environment'/setting/space feel integral to this track, and it's a very 'Celtic' feeling, I guess. America has a little more 'twang' in its melting pot for this style. This is pure and 'windy'... almost like an 'archaeological' or 'classic literary/romantic narrative' sound.

I really like the, he said" grab your things I've come to take you home" parent/adult POV during the song and the, I said " Keep my things they've come to take me home " child response right at the end. Awesome.

This song makes me cry. Many a person have waited their whole lives to hear someone say "grab your things, I've come to take you home." Me too.
