this one was one of the first epic tunes I did learn to know and it opened up the door to a wonderful world for me. maybe it´s the ups and downs lying that close together in this song that do reflect my feelings deep inside. I won´t ever miss that tune and I thank peter hammill for this monumental masterwork he´s created!

[Astradamors]

One of my favorites!!

[JBFabri1948]

Wonderfull, the desesperated rock poet. THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST. I hope in my life to see a show alive

[ewawalas85]

Jedna z piękniejszych piosenek jakie w życiu słyszałam

[znathanson]

This could have been used in The Exorcist. Peter Hammill is one hell of a songwriter

[MrCarsalo]

Peter Hammill; es una artista inalcanzable, Versatil y de una capacidad de autonvertirse a traves de us poemas hechos canciones, ya no se diga con su voz como solista y dentro del grupo VDGG. ...DIOS le de VIDA para que escriba y cree mas,

[rmv68]

Brilliant...long time ago since I heard this

[SorrowRequiem]

I believe Peter Hammill is the best dark poet in the world.

[MINERSSTRIKE]

yes, silent corner is a fantastic album. i think ph plays nearly everything as well doesn't he?

My favourite Hammill song from my favourite Hammill album

[gorkys6]

This was Peter Hammill at his creative peak. Who else could write such a genuinely disturbing and truly imaginative song? It's absolutely wonderful - even listening to it 25 years later. I feel so lucky to have heard it.....

The Silent Corner and The Empty Stage is The Best Hammill Album

[thezenpizza]

I used to listen to this back in the 70's and it scared me ....

I love this song but it made me look at my own house in a completely different way.

I saw him once at the Troubadour in Los Angeles..

Everyone i took to see him hated me, because they all thought he was too depressing...LOL

[enastzes]

it not about a house.. house the mind..

PH has said that once when he asked what's

this song all about.. he pointed to his head

and said "its about this" .. and it makes

a lot of sense this way

[thezenpizza]

Yes i know it 's not litteraly about a house....

Thanks

[professoricon]

I've got a CD of a live recording at the Troubadour. Check out my videos.

[UFOIST]

Semente200, as far as I can remember, yes. I recall this lyric, "Babylon's strange, 7th wonder of the earth, gardens ablaze with colour slowly rotting in the dirt". How cool was that?

[Semente200]

Is the rest of this album as good (as great)as this song?

[P0LSET]

Get Lost You Idiot!

Womanbiath

[keithbaum]

This song is simply incredible

Music is one of the best things in the world.

[CobuzzMcOne]

great melody

[professoricon]

people are imaginary, nothing else exists

except the room I'm sitting in,

and, of course, the all-pervading mist

[maartjedejeu]

30 jaar geleden absoluut topfan van hammill en van der graaf, dit nummer is nog steeds briljant, the silent corner vind ik 1 van zijn beste albums!

[videoclipsx]

We need to find his concert videos on Buenos Aires, Argentina, a country he loves! (He went there 5 times!)

[hammoul56]

This song means something great!!!Awesome. Love it.

[AlbertoVO5]

25 years ago I played this song everyday. Those were good times but the internet has been great for Hammill fans. Oh there you are!

[w0lfcrY]

great peter...

[gvcfernandes]

The best song of the album "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage". Played by the classical VdGG line-up. Just Wonderful. Good job, gnrbc.

[RINLEW]

What you said is very interesting because Hammill's "supposed solo albums" are not: they have a lot of VDGG tracks: GOG, LOUSE IS NOT A HOME, TAPEWORM, FERRET AND FEATHERBIRD, ROCK AND ROLE, FORSAKEN GARDENS, IN THE BLACK ROOM, RED SHIFT, LOST AND FOUND, TIME HEALS, OPEN YOUR EYES, the bulk of FOOL'S MATE which goes back to early VDGG... and other "solo" songs.

Particularly, I consider THE FUTURE NOW his real first solo album... I mean: the first one not to have a VDGG sound.

[Marcusvdgg71]

the best Peter hammill composition...absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

[CliffBrton]

no le falta nada a este tema, gran voz, letra y música... terrible!
