Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel[1977]

Þetta lag er um andlega upplifun sem Gabriel varð fyrir á toppi Eyjafjallajökuls 13. apríl 2010... nei ég meina Solsbury hæðar í Somersetskýri í Englandi.  Kappinn samdi lagið eftir að hafa yfirgefið Genesis og á að vera hægt að finna í þessu ljóði skýringu þess að hann yfirgaf hljómsveitina og afleiðingarnar.  Hvað sem því líður er þetta frábært lag og frábær texti frá frábærum gaur.



Sarah McLachlan

Saga

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
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd 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."
(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 tell 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."
