Sad... Sorry for your loss!

(HUGS)

So sorry about you loss. Thanks for sharing. Music is magical!

That's such a beautiful note thank you for sharing it! You're blessed that your dad gave you these treasured memories that you will have forever. And know that your dad is looking at you down from heaven ❤️

Sorry for your loss - "Enjoy the little things in life because one day they will be the BIG thing" (anon)

I know this comment was made 6 years ago but your grandpa seems/seemed like a great guy

I sure wish my grampa woulda,your grampa was a great man

Yes that line is powerful. Home that beautiful word, home which should mean love, family, unity and being safe. For those who had it, have it, cherish it because many had little of it or none at all in the sense of the word ‘home’.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

one day ill take my son home

Sorry for your loss

I shed a tear for you right then pig. Condolences.

I shed a tear for you and your mom right now. Sorry for this loss.

So sorry for your loss I find this song impossible to listen to without crying and I have no idea why x

Congrats on the sobriety. That's quite an accomplishment for both, especially the sobriety. I have 467 days of being sober myself. And I love this song.

It requires strength and more importantly DETERMINATION to change...I speak from experience.

Grab your things..I’ve come to take you home 👍

@@susansongsmahony7406excellent keep it up 25 years for me 👍💪🇦🇺

Congrats🎉 amazing what one day at a time can do !!

It was written yesterday...

Thing is it doesn't sound like it was written yesterday if it was it would be crap like the rest of music today

If this is released today, it'll probably be trending in tiktok

You ought to see him in concert riding the bicycle Alan. 🙂

What a beautiful thing that is!

That's special....this is a truly spiritual song... anyway u take it

Its a good thing it wasn't "I touch myself" by the Divinyls.

Brilliance!

His one liners are so golden

Used to work for PG. He's a nice guy. I remember going to a secret rehearsal of one of his tours, in an aircraft hangar. It was the one where he rolled around the stage in a Zorb ball. He managed to knock over an entire stack of keyboards and equipment. That's what rehearsals are for😂

Este tipo es un fenómeno. Esta obra maestra indica que, claramente, los caminos de Génesis y de Gabriel podían haber seguido de la mano, sin perjuicio del aporte del resto. Qué hubiese pasado, ya es contrafáctico, pero, al mismo tiempo sale Y al final quedaron tres.....

Yes, We (Humanity) is going home very soon. This will shock the World!

I just came home from my best friend’s funeral tonight. This song was played at the service. He passed from an overdose too. My heart is with you, this song will carry our friend’s memory on forever ❤

The lyrics make me think of my own drug addiction. I survived but I know all about shutting open doors as I was only sixteen and fresh out of school when I became addicted.

💙 So sorry you lost your friend and what a beautiful track to hear the day you parted in this realm to remember them with until you meet in the next realm 💙

I hear you sister... my heart going boom, boom, boom.

Hi Dorothy. I'm a fraction younger. A school friend told me to listen out for it and I was captivated. I'd never heard anything so singular and catchy. The same friend had tickets to see PG in Manchester in 1977 and I was mesmerised by him. Glory days!

I loved this song a o e all others and was so thrilled to go to Bath Academy of Art and find out Solsbury Hill overlooked the city. Spent many days and nights up there on the old iron age fort. I liketo believe a shoe of mine that got sucked into the mud one bonfire night is still up there.

That sounds like quite the experience! Memorable, heartfelt, and once in a lifetime!

Salisbury HILL IS England never heard of Solsbury hill ?

@@kevinjamesparr552 Wait what?

I was there last week. Lovely view for such an easy hike. Didn’t see any city lights (it was late morning) and no eagle flew out of the night (again, it was daytime), but I saw a couple of sparrows, I think, and perhaps a crow. The wind was blowing and time stood still, though.

76 was a really really bad year for me, aged 9. i still have PTSD from it.

That is because today the band members are employees of all of these youngsters rather than owners or partners in the band. Some youngsters use all studio musicians so as to not get too close to regular band members and they then might feel compelled to pay them properly. 😂

Thank you , I never knew that & that's when I was born , this is one of my favorite songs 🎵 03/22/1977 DOB

Lettuce go then You and I/ when the evening is spread out against the Sky

Sir, she is.

God bless you

Yes, because Peter always had this odd sense of tribal and delicate sound that helped pioneer progressive rock.

I never understood how complex this song was until I started studying music theory. Such an amazing song.

I love this song, it has heart,

My 7th grade English teacher was kinda a badass guy. For “homework” he’d have us listen to a song and the next the day he’d sit back and hear out our horrible perceptions. The thing is though most times he wouldn’t tell us what the song meant and just told us to keep listening or read about it. This song though wouldn’t let him spit it out, I remember whatever it was he had to say it was on the tip of his tongue but looked like he struggled to put an idea into a digestible explanation. I don’t think I’ll ever read into this song, just listen and try to find out what my teacher was thinking. After a few years of listening I like to think it’s what you like to think.

Everything Peter Gabriel did was alternative. Just listen to the content he did with the band Genesis. Just absolutely absurd time frames and changes yet everything seemlessly stayed together and flowed. Musical Genius... The beauty of this is not just with it's composition. This is a superbly written song with entendre and some positive lessons embedded. Total package.

So sorry for your loss 💔💔💔

@@roxykilfoyle1028 Thank you I appreciate that alot.

I agree...

It takes a lot of bravery to do that.

Its cutting ties and chains to the mortal realm and going home.

Who are you quoting? Is that a Gabriel quote ??

@@stanettiels7367 yes. From wikipedia: "Gabriel has said of the song's meaning, 《 It's about being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get ... It's about letting go. 》 His former bandmate Tony Banks acknowledges that the song reflects Gabriel's decision to break ties with Genesis, but it can also be applied in a broader sense to situations of letting go in general."

Beautiful.

❤️

I belive someone you were close to comes for you when it's your time. My dad said as he was dying that he would come for me...I tear up listening too

I'm 35 and I do too even though I have the best memories of dancing to this with my younger sister Dana in our childhood living room three decades ago now

lost my 18 yr old son 5 yrs ago. this song reminds me of him

Hello Mother Father of all creation 😄 our creators r here in physical flesh !!

I felt my husband’s heart beat for the last time in early April. I’ve listened to this song often since then as this widow waits for him to take me home.

@@cheoahsnowbird I truly believe the way you knew that you were truly loved is the space left behind when they go. I couldn't imagine losing the love of my life and I pray that you hold onto the love and memories of him until you are surely reunited.

Wow...this comment brought me to tears because it's so honest and true. Thank you for making me think...❤

And it's worse, knowing you can never go back. Not to the place you remember, anyway.

Great - thought provoking and sad.

Well, the FIRST part is true...

Nice dude

@@dansmith7106 Imagine it would have been ABACAB :D

This is one of my favorite comments ever on youtube. And it's correct, mirroring his clarity... I wonder if he wrote it that way?

@@chartwel I was going to thank you for your outstanding compliment, but then I remembered what most KZfaq comments are and realized I cleared a pretty low bar. I'd answer your question by saying that Peter Gabriel seems pretty meticulous in his musical and creative vision. He doesn't do anything slapdash.

@@qfmarsh64 Just enjoy the beauty of this song. Jeeze.

Anybody who knows Peter Gabriel knows that he is never quite literal with anything which means many of his songs have a personal meaning to him just like they may have a completely different personal meaning to you. So Solsbury Hill could essentially be about anything you want it to be about. But to Peter Gabriel it is about his decision to leave Genesis. He has made this quite clear. You could go line by line and it all makes perfect sense considering the situation he was in at the time. He was fed up with the industry and life as a rock star in general. He was being thrust out as the star of a group whose works had actually been evenly divided between the 5 members. Because he and his costumes were the focal point of live shows, everyone assumed Peter wrote all the music, all the lyrics, set up the stage, and that the rest of the band were just his backing band. This was far from the truth and Gabriel hated the attention. But as much as he hated the attention at first, he was beginning to enjoy it, which was taking him away from his audience. He no longer got the butterflies before shows. The music didn't touch him the way it used to. He felt as though he was just going through the motions. He didn't like what he was becoming. "To keep in silence, I resigned." Besides all these internal things, Genesis was getting on his nerves as well. He refers to Genesis as "the machinery." It was a constant cycle of write, record, tour, write, record, tour. etc... They would schedule gigs non-stop with hardly any breaks. There was no room for freedom. Gabriel hated knowing exactly where he was going to be in 18 months, as he did with Genesis. He said Genesis was like the army. You had to turn up to the studio every morning at 9am and you were either 100% committed or you weren't at all. "I walked right out of the machinery." On top of that, the band had decided to write a concept album - The Lamb. Gabriel wanted to give this album a little bit of "balls", as he puts it, and no one else in the band was going to deliver that. He also felt that a concept album, AKA a story, should be written by one person. It needs one clear and coherent direction, which their democratic system of writing could not accomplish. This pissed off the other band members. Gabriel was beginning to realize that he could not last for long being "tied down to the old hierarchy." His creative ambitions were exceeding those of the rest of the band. The tipping point came during the writing for "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." Gabriel's wife was going through a horrible pregnancy and they didn't think his daughter was going to survive. So Peter was making these long trips back and forth between London and where the band were writing and recording out in the middle of nowhere England. This meant that he was absent during much of the writing. The band were writing music in one room while Peter was writing lyrics to what was already there in another room or wasn't there at all to attend to his wife. No one else in the band had been married or had kids at this point (besides Phil Collins) and so they didn't understand. They were mad because Peter was gone all the time. Peter was mad because to him there was no question what his priorities were. It was a matter of life and death for him. His family was far more important than writing an album. The band could not understand this and that really pissed Peter off. "So I went from day to day, though my life was in a rut. Til' I thought of what I'd say, which connection I should cut." "No one taught them etiquette." After leaving Genesis, Gabriel felt a sense of jealousy. He wasn't sure what he was going to do with his life at the time (he didn't begin his solo career right away, not until 1977). He wanted out of the music industry as a whole. His pride got the best of him when he saw Genesis having greater success without him and decided to get back in, but this time on his own terms, doing his own thing. And the rest is history.....

I think the same thing I would play this song and was thinking it was Jesus taking me home

@@jtarttthanks for the history lesson man appreciate it i was born in 05 so i had no clue what the song was about

Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill 1248pm 11.7.23 everyone is either a tedious junkie or delving into the death of someone... their sevels, even. which is cool. never let it be said i stifled your freedom of expression or speech.... safe to say that i am thinking: he's tripping atop the tor and delving into the musings he has had been receiving... also covered by kraftwerk with one of their ditties. uh!?

It means what it means to me/you/yours/them-we all have our personal ideas, all unique. Mine too, no-one would guess! Thats the joy, heightened by world class musician (some universal language)!-you keep teaching this way Miss LA, they'll love you and the music forever for so enriching their lives. 😘

@Alexander Steiner It is indeed a masterpiece, a legend. But what a crying shame that such a meaningless, horrid video profanes it so. I'd like to punch Mr Graham Dean right in the face for this wreck of a production.

The most important decision you'll ever make.

You posted that 3 days ago. Jesus Christ has loved you with an everlasting love. If you didn't get saved yet like you said you would, please, I implore you to do it. It is,the best decision you will ever make in your entire life! Remember, yiu can't earn your way to Heaven. None of us can. That is why we need grace each and every new day. The kind of grace and forgiveness only our Lord and Savior can give us! Ask your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to hold onto your hand, even when you are too tired to hold on, he will hold into you! Praying for you, precious soul!❤😊

Nice time to get saved. Just before WW3. Things may get tough, but He will never leave you. John 6:37. Memorize Psalm 51:6. The inward parts are deep within every part of your body - from brain to molecule. Trust Him with everything.

I wish you all of the best life can offer you

@@tipperny76 yes I did! It's been amazing ever since. I'm still dealing with severe panic attacks, but God has been helping me tremendously. I feel his love, presence and strength in my heart. I'm ready to get past this battle so that I can spread His word and do His work. I know now what my calling is, and I found it through God. Thank you for messaging me and for your prayers!! God bless you and everyone in your life. I will pray for you as well!! ❤️❤️

Beautiful music is how you want to imagine it should be no matter what the original intent I think of it as a message personally.

It takes you someplace and in our places we each find something awesome!

​@tim sharrett on you mums doll.

@jksngtrs90 keep it up brother.

Keep it up, y’all. I’m hoping I make 12 years on Halloween 2023. I went to the e r in liver failure with bleeding varices. I wasn’t expected to live, and it took 5 years before I could return to work. 12 years later, I don’t recognize that person. Jesus came to my bed every day and told me not to be afraid, and that I would be coming with Him to our home. Keep your faith in Him. I played this song after lunch for my 2nd grade students, who decided that home is Heaven. They cited evidence in the lyrics. Life is a wonderful gift, and even on our worst days, miracles happen. 🙏🙏🙏I’m keeping you all in my prayers.

i also have no deal, just love this song. brilliant lyricist.

Same here, heard this many years ago just found it today playing at BLOOMINGDALES lol

Absolutely

This pops up occasionally on our local radio station here in Folkestone, Kent. I remember it well as a boy, and my pal at work knows it from my love of the song because I always turn the volume up a bit when it comes on. We sit and each have a moment of personal introspective enjoyment when it comes on. No telephones answered, no deliveries received, no customers served. It's Peter and Solsbury Hill, and that's that for four and a half minutes. Bugger everything and everyone, and suddenly the working day isn't as troublesome as it was five minutes ago.

It sure doesn't!!!
