Genesis - Heathaze (Official Audio)

[@tommymonza]

Phil’s voice is irreplaceable

[@o.portista]

Lyrics to this gem: 👑 No cloud, a sleepy calm Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze And trees with rustling leaves Only endless days without a care Nothing must be done Silent as a day can be Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning Even if they're dull It's time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas The trees will lose their withered leaves I just can't seem to let them loose. And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south Oh I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place Now the light is fading fast Chances slip away, a time will come to pass When there'll be none Then addicted to a perfumed poison Betrayed by its aftertaste Oh we shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return Many are the substitutes but they're powerless on their own Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line Into a dried up river bed But don't try to tell him 'cos he won't believe you Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas The trees will lose their withered leaves I just can't seem to let them loose And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place ~Legends, always inspiring. One of the best tracks on this iconic album. Long live Genesis! True Masterpiece 👑

Thank you

Amen to that!

Una de las más lindas de Génesis

[@albertinacamus]

Thank you !

[@perryb5984]

Tony Banks wrote a true masterpiece with this one. Pure poetry. One of my very favorite Genesis songs.

[@keithjones7390]

This is one of my favourite Genesis songs, Duke for me is the last of the albums you could call a 'proper' Genesis record.

[@jimwallace3856]

100% well said

[@steveschmidt6847]

Very well put

[@rossablott6973]

Incorrect, listen to calling all stations

Can't believe this was 43 years ago...

[@mauriziopetergabriel599]

Heathaze...it's like a rare and precious gem. A legendary song. The very best of Tony Banks. Enchanting melody! Enchanting lyrics..Only endless days without a care... ...nothing must be done...

[@giuseppefinestra7152]

Questi sono i genesis

[@georgemallory797]

Loved Genesis since the 70's but forgot about this song. It's the best song they ever made, imho. Geniuses.

[@GraachAhim]

For the longest time I thought I was the only person who really loved this song. Now reading the comments I am so glad to see I'm not alone. Strong mellow melody, rich piano track, lyrics that could have been written today, visceral vocals from Phil. Duke was the very first album I bought, back in late 1980, and I've been listening to it since then. Countless times I put Heathaze high volume on headphones. I still do.

[@renatoronchetti9290]

Never stop

[@thalysanchez3594]

meme histoire d'amour pour cette chanson et l'album....

[@TB71294]

Throw some bread to the ducks instead

[@uckbee]

This is one of the most remarkable 'regular length' songs in rock or even music history. There's simply nothing like it (except of course for "Evidence of Autumn," which is also lovely, but not quite as good as this one. Thanks to Tony's parents for producing such a wonderful composer!

[@timothybatcheldor3732]

This is probably my favourite Genesis track of all time. Breath taking vocals. Tim.B

[@darrenbethell5893]

Another bank’s masterpiece it’s getting harder to say what banks masterpiece is the best

[@critney_]

🎹 🎵 Tony Banks rocks 🎵🎹 - as does Genesis. Best Band of all time!

[@RickCT2000]

Phil Collins adds so much grit and emotion to songs, something so far better than any of the singers on Tony’s solo efforts. Phil, Tony and Mike were always more genius together than apart. This song is the perfect example

[@Tracey..H]

I agree, Phil brings such passion to this. Tony’s the best writer imho

[@marcoconforti5960]

La passione nelle corde vocali di Phil

[@robertshetsen8691]

Increadible sound very soothing song

[@carloscappellini1687]

Beautiful song and complex lyrics

[@markstrickland6760]

So dam relatable.

[@jwp10001]

Tony Banks is a musical god. The is no better keyboardist on the planet and never will be. He is a beautiful melody machine. So glad Genesis put out the many incredible LP’s that can be enjoyed for eternity!

[@andrewrys8663]

I love his Keyboards.

[@carloscappellini1687]

Tony has never been pompous at all, humble and the very sound of Genesis

[@uckbee]

@@carloscappellini1687 The pomposity that Tony occasionally evinced was always justified. He knew what he was doing; he was/is indeed a humble, instinctive unafraid musician.

[@uckbee]

Don't forget his harmony machine: it dispenses satisfying, poignant profundity and good cheer. :^ )

[@jawoody9745]

I'm just sorry that stuff like that went to his head, his Ego.

[@wagnerribeirodesantana1651]

A masterpiece! One of the best lyrics on the album written by Tony Banks, and a magnificent melody!🎹🎶♥️

Absolutely gorgeous piece of music. I’m a 61 year old man and it still makes me get misty-eyed.

[@richardwhite1120]

Me too and I'm 63

[@11karalis]

Perché la musica più bella proviene sempre da questi anni? Vorrei capire cosa si è perso dentro di noi, soprattutto dentro chi crea musica negli ultimi decenni. Cosa avevano gli anni '70 e '80 di "magico" che a mio modestissimo parere non ci sarà più? La musica era trasporto.... emotivo.

[@kattivik63]

Sono d' accordo ce stata un involuzione musicale dopo quei splendidi anni

[@johnsayer116]

It's your age. You were an impressionable teen when you first heard it

[@TelexToTexel]

The seeds of Home By The Sea was sown in this song

[@andreafavilli5058]

"Heathaze" is one of the reasons why I decided that Genesis would have been the soundtrack of my lifetime (the other one is "Duke's Travels").

[@keithjones7390]

Heathaze, Duke's Travels and Duke's End are the highlights of the album for me.

[@nicolaabraham8382]

The fact they didnt play this live is one of life's tragedies.

[@joeyrsl]

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. A real standout on the album and in the whole catalog of work. Tony Banks in the house! Pure genius.

[@TB71294]

Best song on the album, takes me back when listening to this for the 1st time, 1983 when I was 12!!!!! Blew my mind! “The trees & I are shaken by”

[@jawoody9745]

It's one of Tony's spectacular slow bits. And naturally, Mike takes the bait. It's simply beautiful. And I love the production. The choruses are catchy.

[@dennismoore9011]

Another beautiful creation that only Genesis could give birth to! Thank you so much Phil, Tony and Mike for all you've given us!

[@urlord24]

The masterpiece that is GENISIS..!

[@rcdyer]

One of the best songs they did in the 80's era.

[@raelraven3]

Tony . . . So much talent. A fantastic keyboard player and superb songwriter.

[@urlord24]

The depth and breadth of this song can’t be measured by our standards.. it’s just GENESIS! ❤️

[@SaskatchewanICE]

I still can’t believe they never played this live 😵‍💫

[@abundantYOUniverse]

This song takes me to the edge of a vast lake, that no human has ever seen before.

[@bobturnley2787]

Magical soundscape for a wonderful collection of word painting. One of Phil's best vocals.

[@stefanocensani8847]

Music, lyrics and voice make this song a masterpiece, a pearl of profound intensity and meaning, even more precious as it is unknown. Thanks Genesis!

[@Chuckles..]

Heathaze is one of those perfectly crafted Genesis gems like Blood On The Rooftops. Not quite the same level of profundity, but not far off.

[@o.portista]

Legends, always inspiring. One of the best tracks on this iconic album. Long live Genesis! True Masterpiece 👑

[@johnbowers1118]

Another Tony banks classic song! A hidden gem, for me one of my favorite Genesis songs!

[@Yakkymania]

Tony is the one whose playing and writing made me love this album, and this song is probably the best example from it of Tony’s genius.

[@BH530711]

Rutherford’s bass lines are sublime. What a treasured addition to this piece! 🫶🏻

[@Lora-t5r]

Half of my life with Genesis Songs - rare depth, subleme..., beautiful.

[@Patricia2Paris1]

What a nice song, it sounds still fresh, thanks Genesis.

[@skyguy1988]

genesis will NEVER DIE. all of their albums and eras are great!! i love all their shit .

[@Schimnesthai]

Besides the Duke medley, this was the next track that i started admiring, its truly great!

[@todedo]

So so good, in every aspect. It made me tear up, so wonderfully beautiful. Like all of Duke. Those chord changes, the lyrics, the mood.

[@glauciodon.campelo8967]

Absolute masterpiece. Best song on the album and one of the best on the band catalogue. Wonderful composition by Tony and great inputs by Phil and Mike. So many lovely details. I love how the opening line on the 1st and 3rd refrains was sung with a subtle difference on the cadence subdivision, giving more intensity, as: - 1st refrain: the trees/and I/are shaken by... (double pauses) - 3rd refrain: the trees and I/are shaken by... (just one pause, giving another dynamic). It just kills me. Wonderful song. Wonderful interpretation.

[@leonardosolmesky]

I can listen to this song several times without stopping. It's beautiful.

[@MarciaLealChannel]

Beautiful Song! Wonderful Voice! I love you Genesis! ❤️🎼🎶

[@doracayun9094]

GENESIS FOREVER!!!!

[@curtisboswell2619]

One of Mike Rutherford's greatest exhibitions of skill. His guitar really shines in this piece. Phil delivers both the measured drumbeat, and an intense vocal here. This song is a balm to a troubled soul... the metaphors fly fast and furious in this song.

[@fswaan5624]

Such a pity they never performed it live

[@andyhowlett2231]

Having been a keen follower of Genesis through the 70's, when Duke appeared I felt something had changed and that this was maybe not quite 'up to scratch'. But looking back and listening again after all these years I now see it was possibly their finest work. There are some truly beautiful songs here - I must admit to sitting here with tears in my eyes as I listen to Heathaze.

[@neilthompson27]

I kind of agree. I never really liked it at the time. But playing Duke again tonight for maybe the first time in over 30 years, it really is quite good!

[@pataleno]

I was the same with And then there were three. Absolutely hated the album during release and 80s. I started listening to it again and it’s one of their finest. This duke tour is probably their best tour. Amazing.

[@ffjffj9133]

An underrated masterpiece 😕. Music and lyrics are so powerfull.

[@anne-mariebridoux8456]

Salut.,ouah ...magnifique mélodie,beaucoup d’intensité et d’expression!! Encore et toujours le talent des musiciens,la voix-émotion et percutante de Phil Collins! Quelle créativité !

Wow, just listened to this. Havent heard it in nearly 10 years. What memories it invokes. Real moody work of art.

[@barbaracoulson658]

Very under rated song I feel drawn into this track as with all of their music each are a little adventure so I'm actually living in the song

What surreal journey and classic Genesis. The last of the era of progressive rock, and truly an omage to the great arena filling medley both at this time and in time past!!! Loved it

[@timwebber8630]

Have you felt this numbness & loneliness after a failed relationship? No cloud, a sleepy calm Sun baked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze And trees with rustling leaves Only endless days without a care Nothing must be done Silent as a day can be Far off sounds of others on their chosen run As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning Even if they're dull Time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere The trees and I are shaken by the same winds but whereas The trees will lose their withered leaves I just can't seem to let them loose And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place Now the light is fading fast Chances slip away, a time will come to pass When there'll be none Then addicted to a perfumed poison Betrayed by its aftertaste We shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return Many are the substitutes but they're powerless on their own Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line Into a dried up river bed But don't try to tell him 'cause he won't believe you Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way Feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place

[@Tracey..H]

One of my favorites! Tony reaches into heaven w this one. This is one slight notch below dukes end and BTL. This is my favorite album or equal to TLLDOB, but man, what a song! I’m a female songwriter and ppl say , “ you sound like Genesis” I’m like… Shocked Edit: I really like that they maintained that prog rock but Phil got very commercial on this disc. It’s actually a nice mix imho. I don’t mind heavy melody at all

[@truefilm6991]

Phil found his front man voice with this album. Absolutely fantastic!

[@AmandaBooth-e6j]

Phil found his voice with the first song he sang on his own as front man of Genesis. Gabriel was overrated and Collins was ten times the front man better than Gabriel without a doubt and history proves that......

[@truefilm6991]

@@AmandaBooth-e6j I personally prefer Phil Collins as the Genesis front man and as a singer, but this is my personal taste. Peter Gabriel is without a doubt a fantastic singer and musician. I know that a lot of people think he is a god and Phil is the one who turned Genesis into a pop act. That's of course BS since all 70s rock groups changed radically in the 80s. They had to. Besides: from what I know Tony Banks, who secretly ran Genesis, agreed.

[@giulio83212]

Really great music, so strong song

Days ago I told my son that fortunately there's still so much music for me yet to listen, even from my favorite bands. This is one of those.. not long ago I 'discovered' this song re-listening to Duke, *carefully* this time. There's not much more to say. I can't take it out of my head.

[@SourceLight]

When I was finishing up my PhD, I was quite disillusioned and burnt out. My thesis needed a preface and I couldn't write anything better to express how I felt than lyrics to this song. I put in the lines from "Now the light is fading fast ..." to "I feel like an alien, a stranger, in an alien place" labeled as "Genesis: Duke, Chapter 6, Verse 17-28". I never really "got" graduate school and those words encapsulated what I felt.

Après votre concert de ce 17 mars 2022 à Paris (Arena La Défense) je me dis qu'il est impossible que vous arrêtiez. Je suis sûre que vous pourriez sortir un nouvel album. Cette tournée a redonné la santé à Phil, il retrouve sa voix, son humour. La musique, le chant, est une thérapie reconnue, la preuve ! Regardez Ringo Starr, Sting, Robert Plant... ils reviennent eux aussi ! Et Leland Sklar, Bill Bruford, ils tiennent bon eux aussi. S'il vous plait, tenez bon, ne sombrez pas dans la mélancolie et le manque. La retraite dans le milieu musical c'est terrible, on ne s'en remet pas, croyez-moi ! Faites un nouvel album comme si vous aviez encore vingt ans et tout ira bien. Prenez Bill Bruford à la batterie puisque Phil ne peut plus jouer malheureusement. Le son et la technique de Phil sont uniques ainsi que sa voix sublime. Faites-moi confiance, je dis vrai. Je vous aime et je vous écoute chaque jour, vous êtes mon Elixir. ... Et je ne suis pas la seule..., vous avez vu que nous étions tous présents et très nombreux à votre tournée "The Last Domino ?", très émus et heureux de vous retrouver. Longue vie, santé, God save the Phil ! From Paris, with all my Love and Respect forever and more. You're THE BEST. Don't give up, don't stop. Take care of yourself above all.
