[bradybrushwood]

@aivokallo77 join the marines.

[Chiczaro]

@aivokallo77 Think twice. I got fired from my shitty job a year ago and have been doing nothing but seeing my saving diminish. Having shit on your hands at your job is better than eating it every day when you don't have a shitty job.

[Atiesallday1]

@aivokallo77 -me too lol, just curious,, where do u work at

[TheGreenBadger]

@aivokallo77 How many lives were you expecting to have? If you possibly can then I say go!

[Portyy85]

This song is beautiful; it's greatly about listening to your heart, to your true self, to the words of your soul.

[TheLuckyKato]

When illusion spin her net

I'm never where I want to be

And liberty she pirouette

When I think that I am free 

[cantsaycindy]

Peter Gabriel is an absolute doll. I just love him. If this song is not played at my wedding, then I obviously married the wrong person.

[ryanjmcgowan]

@cantsaycindy I don't want to rush things but-- I mean I know we just met... *get's on one knee* Oh, I'm Ryan by the way...

[Chiczaro]

@ryanjmcgowan Tell her your heart's going boom, boom, boom."

[cgj531]

@Whitespirit0lvn I agree

[TheObsidianNightfall]

I'm here because Peter Gabriel is one of the true geniuses still alive and working today.

[IllegalLaws]

this feels so unnatural

[smartlamppost]

@IllegalLaws It's because it's in a 7/4 time signature

[IllegalLaws]

@smartlamppost no i was quoting vampire weekend (obviously not as good as Peter Gabriel though)

[Nuraghes100]

songs like this are timeless

[LAKOTARUSHMORE]

Just a great song. I don't see how anyone could not like this song. Except for rap fans. I don't think they really know good music. More noise fans.

[Boobr]

@LAKOTARUSHMORE Show some respect. I love rap with my whole heart, but this one... it's just special. Stop with the generalization, just because some fans of X genre are retarded, that doesn't mean everyone is like that.

[LZBJPFRSACDC98]

I'm here because Marty Shwartz :D

[priedigkeit1]

@17esox das ist echt cool ..

glg gabi online :0)

[HUDJames]

[jamesn0va]

im 7 and my mumy says this is gud!

[BadenBaden0]

Come to europe dude, america is for dumb.

[Reaper00147]

@BadenBaden0 Your dumb, your mon is dumb your country is dumb your currencys worthless, your people are dumb and your continent is dumb. :) Nice to talk to ya

[bosrunnerguy0922]

@Reaper00147 You know what else is even dumberer??? Bad grammer. Oh wait does that make me sound unintelligent, never mind I stick with with correct english. Especially when I try to argue with strangers over youtube.

[TimmehTRP]

@bosrunnerguy0922 Lol, it's funny when people like you try to mock others for their incorrect grammar whilst they can't even spell the word grammar correctly theirselves.

[bosrunnerguy0922]

@BadenBaden0 ummmmmm........for dumb?

[celestielsigh]

Gotta thank my college music teacher for introducing me to this song. Loved it ever since the first time I heard it <3

[wamediaonline]

grab your shit ,,we are going home

[metrotek5]

I really don't understand how there are 24 dislikes ...

[km45angel]

@metrotek5 i dont understand either....

[bbertable]

Hear this on the radio. Think about how much I love it. Think about how I should try to figure out what the name of it is. Forget about it. Hear it on the radio again. Think about how much I love it. Think about how I should really go and look it up. Forget about it. Repeat this 50 times until I finally found myself on the youtube video. Bravo, Peter Gabriel. This is a long overdue thank you!

[entail54321]

@pre76dator i agree , I hate that people in my generation are listening to that crap insted of generations before our time! i mostly listen to songs that ARE out of my time. I'm 13 and I try to tell people to listen to this and they don't listen.

[SteinaIcelander]

Shining :D



[KingGeorgesHares79]

Never knew that Solsbury Hill was a little north east of Bath, Somerset in England!

[ann651000]

i love this song but i dont understand the text but i like it a lot

[Chiczaro]

@ann651000 The text means what you bring to it. What emotions and images does it evoke? There you have your answer. One either has the gift of sensitivity or one does not. You do, and your statement indicates to me you're already halfway there. You will find that as you mature and your experience widens these songs will come to mean different things to you. Continue to appreciate them each step of the way.

[MrOxfordtom]

God i love this song sing it to my self in my dragster at SHAKESPEARE COUNTY RACEWAY TOM LARMAN WB41 ( THE ROOKIE )

[IamBlessed81]

It is a year today that my brother left us. Listening to Solsbury Hill is my connection to him.

He is the one who first played this song for me.  Paul, I hope you have a smile on your face, and I hope you are home. Every time I play this song, it is for you. I love you.

[esauerkraut]

@IamBlessed81 Paul will play this song for you whenever you listen. There IS such a thing as FOREVER,

[IamBlessed81]

@esauerkraut Thank you. I know at times, this song starts playing on the radio, and I know it is my brother letting me know he is still with me. The timing is too much of a coincidence not to be him. 

[RoommatesForSale]

I really liked this song.... until i took an arrow in the knee.

[HudsonHawk98]

I remember when I heard this song during the summer. My brother was taking me to the camp I was working at, and he played this on the car ride there. That entire summer I was searching for this song, when finally, he played it on a rainy day to school. I'm so glad I now know the name of this song.

[puglover50]

This makes me want to pirouette...and I do :)

[Chancestodolak]

beautiful musicianship on this. Love in music, clearly.

[Lonestarr54]

my life right know i wish i was home

[ghostdancer1974]

This song has always reminded me of my Dad, specifically the line " you can keep my things, they've come to take me Home". RIP, Dad...you are still very much missed.

[kraususa]

Vanilla Sky took me here =)

[PlanetZelka]

This beat is AWESOME. This song is worthy of being on God's iPod! Like!

[poppyplanet1]

this song always gives me chills

[BabyShugz]

the shining a great family film, :)

[MisterCuddlzWorth]

this song reminds me of my dad, hes the greatest dad in the world.

[84Pluisje]

@MisterCuddlzWorth My god, i wanted to say exactly the same! just send him a personal email! a lot of great dads out there :)

[bmang5600]

m gym teacher used to repeat ths song and eye of the tiger during fitnes tets/long runs....so inspiring

[sumdude23]

I vividly remember running down a hill in Vermont on a hot humid September afternoon, tripping on acid, and absorbing this beautiful song for all its worth.

[lagundafire]

Stewie Griffin!

[earthlover27]

I went up Solsbury Hill near Bath yesterday, it truly is a spiritual place, the energy is magnificent, this song moves me so much, love it x

[brettklein]

Vanilla Sky brought me here :)

[pjstoof]

Looking up the music charts from the week I was born. Such crap, but also such good music. A real dime this one.

[MultiDavid1121]

first time i herd this i thaugh it paul simon

[Chiczaro]

@MultiDavid1121 Same vibe. Good observation.

[JS8700]

....One.....Kiss

[44zez]

Masterpiece

[CthulhuDarkLord]

This is among the last songs I will listen to in 2011, and i will listen to it once again so i can say it was also one of the first songs I heard in 2012!

[Rschrieber]

I've always liked this song. Until today, I hadn't sat down, and LISTENED to it. It is truly spiritual. This song WILL be one of my passing requests.

[tmdarby]

This song has helped me stay sober. I think it carries a strong message about finding spirituality.  Amazing song, amazing artist.

[MrGeebags]

Thumbs up if you have hands

[pre76dator]

im 16 and its just sad how a majority of people in my generation prefer shit like kesha, lil wayne, lady gaga, lmfao, brittany spears etc. and most likely have never heard of peter gabriel

[TigerRatProductions]

@pre76dator your totally right. I'm 14 and my parents introduced me to this song 5 years ago. Best music out there.

[Tarinax11571]

@pre76dator its this or dubstep. i'll go with this :D

[km45angel]

@pre76dator oh fuck yah *tear*



[Chiczaro]

@pre76dator Enlighten them.

[truiteleague]

@pre76dator I'm 18 and I never heard of half the name you named!! but man PG and Genesis are good!!!

[Spidernonono]

@pre76dator or, it could considered sad that there's so many comments like this on YouTube that look down on this generation, and do not pay attention to the positive attributes that are unique to the teenagers of this age, such as their popularizing acceptance, their pride in being different, and their social awareness. Moreover, I'd actually say that a minority of our generation is ignorant of classic hits like this one. You forget that someday some of these artists may be considered great too

[ZachHouseZach]

@pre76dator I'm the same age, and agree so much.

[SuperZeldaBros64]

@ZachHouseZach I agree too....but I'm nearly 12

[punpunmunmun]

@pre76dator this force is strong with this one ..........

[emilyyouknowitt]

peter gabriel rox!!!

[Schwinntreefrog]

@graveey

loser

[Northerntownedude]

@graveey Thank you for making this planet truly dumber with your existence.

[touchandgod]

Fucking visionary.

[JBK0628]

Texten lär handla om hans grubblerier om han skulle göra rätt i att lämna Genesis. Gabriel var för Genesis vad Godley/Creme var för 10CC. The lyrics is partly about his decision to leave Genesis. Gabriel was for Genesis what Godley/Creme was for 10CC.

[StephanieGraceSmith]

God is God. Were you listening to the song at all?

[asdfjkl11111111111]

God is Love

Love is Blind

My cat is Blind

therefore,

My cat is God!

[tragicsz]

how could you possibly not love this masterpiece

[OhMyMariel]

I've been jamming to this every single morning on my way to school for the past 3 months. It still hasn't gotten old. :)

[NetherTraitor1024]

I'm 18 and this is the first song I ever remembered and loved ^_^ My most favorite song of all time.

[chefrabear044]

@NetherTraitor1024 I'm 43 and I've loved it for as long as I can remember (it came out in 1977). It's my all time favorite too, because all through the years when I have heard it it always seems to perfectly fit with what is going on in my life at the time. It never fails, the perfect song!!!

[NetherTraitor1024]

@chefrabear044 Perfect.... Is a terrible understatement :)

[matrix21282128]

Trend on videos of songs on youtube after they have been featured in some recent mainstream show or movie:

1. "Thumbs up if (insert show here) brought you here"

2. "Quote from said show that only those who saw the episode will understand."

3. "Guys, I knew of this song like a year ago, I'm better than those who watch (insert show here)"

4. "Can't we all get along, who cares where people found the song?"

5. "Yooo, JUsstin* biaeber is gayys!"

[MrPerfecttommy]

@matrix21282128 Damn funny! 

[arnolddumm]

@matrix21282128 i like number 5

[SavageGreywolf]

@matrix21282128 You forgot 'I'm a teenager and I'd like to apologize for what my generation did to music'

[ryfri123]

i went to school with his son

[volksie100]

Never watched Family Guy - no idea what the comments are about. So far so good. But one thing I do know. I've always absolutely loved this song from the first listen 25+ years ago. To the point I would seriously consider having it at my funeral. It touches my Soul. Thanks PG!

[Omega172]

So can someone enlighten me on what all the talk is of Family Guy in relation to this song? I have no idea what anyone is talking about concerning that.

[paintballwiz1983]

22 of the dislikes have no taste in music at all
