The song is a reference and homage to Peter Gabriel's dad and their walks together when he was a kid. The 'city lights' are those of Bath, Somerset. The home video is genuine....

The song references Gabriels split from Genesis and his choice of losing what he had to forge ahead for a new life.

Gabriel spent a few years away from music after he left Genesis to spend more time with his wife and newborn child. You should also listen to Genesis (Tony Banks) and 'Mad, Man Moon'. Some say it was written as a question to Peter Gabriel asking "why did you leave to chase mirages?" This tune is Peter's beautiful and upbeat answer. "To get out of the machinery"

If you liked In Your Eyes, check out the live version from the Secret World Tour with Paula Cole. It will be one of your favorite music videos of all time.

Count the rhythm, very unusual, there is a video of this live, amazing playing by Tony Levin

Very slight correction. Phil Collins didnt just come in and take over for Peter Gabriel. Phil was the drummer at that time. After, for whatever reason, Peter left, Phil took over as Vocal. Oh, and if you like Peter Gabriel so much, check out the work he did with Afro Celt. Falling is one of my favs from them.

The rest of the band started getting a bit tired of Peter's avant-garde antics on and off stage. Phil also began to notice the lack of chicks in the Genesis fan base. And being the most forthright character in the band, the others didn't take much convincing.

True, in fact the band looked for a new singer and couldn't find one so Phil took the job on. Tony and Mike were both on record (pardon the pun) saying they didn't think Phil would want the job. Best thing that happened to both Genesis and Phil Collins.

"After leaving Genesis to 'farm cabbage and make babies,' Peter Gabriel returned to music in 1977 with his first solo album."

nice... it's not everyday when folks groove to a song in 7s.

Tune 👌

Cabbages? Why cabbages? Peter Gabriel said he left Genesis to grow cabbages. To get out of the business and back to his roots (figuratively and literally).

I had never seen the video until now; that definitely wasn't the ending I was expecting, especially after the relatively-sober beginning. And after all the years I've known this song, it wasn't until today that I nailed down the 7/4 time signature.
@paulquaife7974Ай бұрын
I don't think it is 7/4, what is weird is the singing, he starts singing on beat 6 and finishes each line on beat 1 of the next bar giving the last word that extra punch
@bwilliams463Ай бұрын
@@paulquaife7974 I looked it up before I wrote the comment. Ther song is in 7/4 time, except for two 4/4 measures that resolve every verse. That's what was throwing me off, at first.

Love this song, but it is too short! They should have added another minute or so to it.

Solsbury ? Where did that come from ? Even Wikipedia spells it like that.
@darkpitcher5242Ай бұрын
That's because Solsbury Hill near Bath is a different place it's not Salisbury which is where the cathedral is
