Solsbury Hill

[George K]

I've fallen into the YouTube rabbit hole watching Peter Gabriel.

There's a gal who's listening to Solbury Hill for the first time - another "reaction" video - and she points out something I never realized.

It's in 7/4 time. Gabriel starts singing on the 5th beat of every measure, and ending on the first beat of the next, grounding you so that you feel like you can "get" what's coming next.

Cool stuff.

Go to 10:35 or so.

Interesting stuff. I’ve watched her channel before. Tests my patience with all the rewinding. She smiles more in a video than I do in a month.

She's probably prettier than you as well.

I love Peter Gabriel's music. His creativity is remarkable. The musicianship, the showmanship.

I've watched several live performances of this, and they're all different and they're all wonderful.

Listen to ALL THE STUFF that's going on here....

And Tony Levin is probably the most creative bass player in several generations.

Been a fan of Peter Gabriel since the mid 1970s.

He is releasing a new album this year. A tour to follow.
