(When I was at uni my mum cleared out my room leaving only a small box & all I have left now is a Hornby Flying Scotsman. ! I lost several gig programmes & momentos which would be worth quite a lot today). |

So it's pretty much just your ordinary 23 minute long drug-fuelled psychedelic love song with undertones of biblical doom and nuclear destruction as well as being littered with religious imagery and allusions to farming. No wonder it still resonates so strongly today

At least the LSD-fuelled young people of that time were largely peaceful. Contrast that with today's violent and lawless young, and the political support which says they should be given the "space to destroy".
The same group - Genesis, performed one song regularly, which was about a future unthinkable violent event. Quote - Wikipedia: "The song was unusually aggressive for Genesis at the time, as most of their work consisted of soft, pastoral acoustic textures and poetic lyrics." Quote - Peter Gabriel: "The lyrics for The Knife were partly me being a public schoolboy rebelling against my background. I'd been heavily influenced by a book on Gandhi at school, and I think that was a part of the reason I became a vegetarian as well as coming to believe in non-violence, as a form of protest. And I wanted to try and show how all violent revolutions inevitably end up with a dictator in power." Egged on by people like this? And his mate who succeeded in politicizing music recently... So here's another Genesis track for your delectation Sorry if you don't like me pointing out the obvious. Edited by Graham Slee - 15 Jul 2017 at 1:36am |
