Peter Gabriel Solsbury Hill Best Quality in HD with Lyrics

[@moreblueye]

This song is 40 years old. FORTY YEARS OLD. No way, not possible. This is so awesome and timeless it could have been written yesterday.

Agreed, absolutely!

I’m listening in 2024…. Love this song my cousin Julie turned me on to this song when we were kids. When we were kids I feel like we lived on sugar mountain. We were little hippies and loved life, love, rock and roll. Times have changed so much! My cousin has passed away now from cancer and she will be missed. I’m so happy I have the Neil Young memories I shared with her. When I listen she’s still here with me…THANK YOU NEIL YOUNG for allowing me to experience that ❤

I had to change one word or two in the lyrics in the mid 90's. My ex wife had put my eldest boy into foster care. As soon as I found out I drove from Hampshire to Worcestershire. Went in the door of the carers saying "son, grab your things, I've come to take you home. I did.

[@jeffflinn2053]

Wow, the symbolism is unreal. When he sings of ... "feeling part of the scenery, I walked right out of the machinery," his reason for leaving Genesis -- as soon as he says, "grab your things, I've come to take you home," he gets off the bike AND CHANGES DIRECTION -- just as he did when he left Genesis. The guy is a genius.

[@Colosphonium]

@Ian Stevenson it easy to put symbolism in retro watching things...but i havent heard him describe this..and i dont think its the casse... having watch all docu and interview from this guys he is pretty much in the moment and i think its just that.

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing, stretching every nerve Had to listen, had no choice I did not believe the information I just had to trust imagination My heart going boom, boom, boom "Son", he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home" To keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Though my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'll say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom, boom, boom "Hey", he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home" (Hey, back home) When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll show them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom, boom, boom "Hey", I said, "you can keep my things, they've come to take me home"

[@OG1919]

It took over 20 years for this to get across as a successful composition and received the radio time it deserved. I recall it in 1975.

[@StraightshooterUS]

I grew up with the song, and although many relate iIt to Peter’s move away from Genesis, the song sure seems to play out the biblical events of the period leading up to, through, and after the crucification of Jesus from the perspective of Jesus. Being betrayed the entire time by those he trusted the most, until God calls him home. I can tie every lyrical line to a biblical event, and I’m by no means highly religious. Does anybody else see it? If Peter had a hidden religious meaning to this song, what a genius to be able to package a biblical story and sell it as mainstream without the masses knowing they were listening to Christian music.

The part of when he sings: "....Grab your things I'm going to take you home!" It's the part where I always break down since I've heard this song the first time way back in 1977. To this day this part got more and more emotional for me, as uncounsciously, the day my wife has been diagnosed with cancer, I told exactly this, leaving the country where we used to live to get back in our own country: "....Grab your things I'm going to take you home!"

[@victorschnepperlacerda2652]

discovered this music a few days ago, I left home (in Brazil) to study in Hungary exactly 3 months now and I am missing home and my family so much, so yesterday when listening to this again it was like a truck hitting me remembering my dear ones far away from me, and I wished hard that someone would took me and tell me to grab my stuff and go back to my family, I would never have imagined that being this far from home would be that hard.... now I'm ok I think, but this song kind of hit me in the face with what I consider important for me now, since I have aways felt that "I'm never where I wanna be". But in the general picture it stills cheer me up with the promise that someday I'll return to my home :)

Peter Gabriel; I wish you could see this; I'm making December 4th the official Solsbury Hill Day in my little world! This song was the first music I played loud in seven months - and December 4th is when I'm moving back 'home' - to be with my partner; Donkeys, Goats, Chickens and Dogs - all moving into our new home - we've been apart since the end of July. I played this five times last night almost full blast while packing - we have no near neighbours! ..... 'Grab your things I've come to take you home' - those words, this song, has meant absolutely everything to me these past months. Here's to the day when we can enjoy concerts again - and here's to the artists who's music has kept us all going during these really difficult times. Thank you xxx

[@luvpupster1]

"turning water into wine" .... "which connection (s) I should cut" ..... "I walked right out of the machinery" ~ "I'm never where I want to be, Liberty, she pirouette, when I think that I am free" The brilliance of this man's mind is so deep, he is often thought of as a bit crazy - nothing could be further from the Truth. There couldn't be fewer of his caliber in the business, but with his gifts, he fills all the voids, no one today could enter his league, it's refreshing to see so many young people (especially in Europe, totally get it, with our American artists as well) .. This was perfect timing, as a link today brought me here.. Cutting connections, turning it around, and vowing to never "slum it" again. It's not fair to others and you totally sell yourself short. It is truly a life altering act of courage, for him, and for us. Rockin' it with authenticity.
