Boots Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I love that song. I especially liked it when they used it in Vanilla Sky. I've been a fan of Peter Gabriel since high school . He was always ahead of his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Great song. A rare example of a song in an odd time signature (7/8 in this case) becoming a hit on mainstream radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake2112 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I thought it was 7/4? I guess you could do two 7/8's in one 7/4, just look at the solo section of "Marathon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Was that Fripp on guitar? I know he toured with him when he first started out. I heard that Gabriel was so flamboyant that Fripp would sit off-stage because it was not his style. When I saw Fripp with Crimson and P2 he sat in the dark. Weird guy. As for the topic, love that tune. Have since high school many moons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushchick10 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Best song he ever did, IMO. I read somewhere that it's one of Geddy's favorite songs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the topic, love that tune. Have since high school many moons ago. Fripp toured with Gabriel under the name "Dusty Rhodes" and was not visible to the audience. In addtion to being a bit weird, Fripp does not like to have his photo taken and that was probably the reason he was not in view of the audience during those shows.

goose Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Possibly the most perfect popular modern song yet written. Love it to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 In case anybody didn't know, the song is about his choice to leave Genesis - one of the reasons being that his newborn child (or wife) was in a state of medical emergency and he wanted to spend more time with them than he was able to while being in Genesis.

It means that for him but it is written so well that it could be about generally leaving something behind (especially something you love) to be able to grow and care for something new.
