1a canzone al giorno

Peter sulla collina di Solsbury


Stamattina Radio Capital ha passato una canzone di Peter Gabriel dal titolo "Solsbury Hill". Mi è piaciuta e l'ho scelta come canzone del giorno. Preparando il post ho scoperto che la canzone è un numero primo.... Primo singolo estratto dall'album "Peter Gabriel" del 1977 che è anche il primo album da solista dopo aver lasciato i Genesis. Buon ascolto anche a voi e a domani!!Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel)Climbing up on Solsbury HillI could see the city lightWind was blowing, time stood stillEagle flew out of the nightHe was something to observeCame in close, I heard a voiceStanding, stretching every nerveHad to listen, had no choiceI did not believe the informationJust had to trust imaginationMy heart going boom, boom, boom"Son", he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home"To keep in silence I resignedMy friends would think I was a nutTurning water into wineOpen doors would soon be shutSo I went from day to dayThough my life was in a rut'Til I thought of what I'll sayWhich connection I should cutI was feeling part of the sceneryI walked right out of the machineryMy 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 netI'm never where I want to beAnd liberty she pirouetteWhen I think that I am freeWatched by empty silhouettesWho close their eyes but still can seeNo one taught them etiquetteI will show another meToday I don't need a replacementI'll tell them what the smile on my face meantMy heart going boom, boom, boom"Hey", I said, "you can keep my things, they've come to take me home"
