Solsbury Hill Lyrics

Lyric discussion by jnb987 

Cover art for Solsbury Hill lyrics by Peter Gabriel

I heard that the eagle that flew out of the night was Bruce Springsteen. Apparently, Gabriel decided to go solo after seeing one ot the Boss' legendary mid-70's epic shows. "He was something to observe" and Peter "had to listen had no choice." The rest of the song is Gabriel explaining his departure from Genesis.

@jnb987 Sounds good to me!!!

@jnb987 In addition to the sheer joy expressed by Bruce onstage I am sure that what also inspired PG was the fact that the music played by the E Street Band was the result of ONE man’s vision, not that of a group.

The band is there to bring Bruce’s songs “to life”, complement the material...but the vision is ALL BRUCE.

How DIFFERENT from Genesis’ music is Peter Gabriel’s? 180 degrees!!
