What a fantastic epic...what an interpretation...Peter Hammill spits out his soul as he sings the last verses.....he is an actor....REALLY...so theatrical

The disintegration of the ego can lead to madness or enlightment. Hammill's persona in this song tends towards the former. Amazing lyrics and song structure.
Thank you so much for posting that. It just pulled tears from my eyes, just as it did years ago... I saw him on stage at le Cégep de Limoilou, Québec City. He only had a grand piano but, my, does he have charisma!I met with him backstage before the concert, thanks to my old friend Denis Huot. I lacked words, I could only stand there before him and let my eyes tell him of my admiration. He understood me, hugged me and walked away...

My favorite PH song. When he sings "Sometimes I think I'll disappear" at the end of the song, I get the chills!

Guy Evans=god, here.
The song? Absolutely self-surpassing creativity spiralling beyond any preordained limits.
'Silent Corner' & 'Least We Can Do' will always be my 2 favourite albums.

Put your headphones and close your eyes, you'll travel around the earth. Very good song, it makes me shiver.

It was always my favorite too. His voice is stretched to the max and the words are killer.
