Angels live inside me ...
Audio only, Peter Hammill sings "Man-Erg" ... The Best Song Ever Writ ...... and this is the the best version of it I ever heard.
Extraordinary live and solo version of the much-loved
Van Der Graaf Generator classic.
================================
Man - Erg (LYRICS)
The killer lives inside me;
yes, I can feel him move.
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping
in the quiet of his room;
but then his eyes
will rise and stare through mine,
he'll speak my words and slice my mind
inside.
Yes, the killer lives.
The angels live inside me,
I can feel them smile;
their presence strokes and soothes
the tempest in my mind
and their love
can heal the wounds that I have wrought.
They watch me as I go to fall;
well, I know I shall be caught
while the angels live.
How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?
But stalking in my cloisters
hang the acolytes of gloom
and Death's Head throws his cloak into
the corner of my room
and I am doomed.
But laughing in my courtyard
play the pranksters of my youth
and solemn, waiting Old Man
in the gables of the roof:
he tells me truth.
And I, too, live inside me
and very often don't know who I am;
I know I'm not a hero
well, I hope that I'm not damned.
I'm just a man,
and killers, angels, all are these,
dictators, saviours, refugees
in war and peace
as long as Man lives...
I'm just a man,
and killers, angels, all are these:
dictators, saviours, refugees.
==============================
From the unofficial live and solo album "Skeletons of Songs".
I compiled the video myself utilising footage mostly downloaded from YouTube, with some of my own added effects and filters.

"History being made:
- the first live performance of David Bowie and Mick Ronson together, and
- the first performance of (a "half-written") "Width Of Circle" (as John Peel calls it)."
Audio only, David and friends play live on 'The Sunday Show' on BBC Radio, hosted by John Peel, recorded 05.02.1970 and broadcast 08.02.1970. David Bowie is on accoustic guitar, with the 'Tony Visconti trio', Tony Visconti on bass, John Cambridge on drums, and Mick Ronson on lead guitar, who David said had "... just came down from Hull and I met him for the first time about two days ago ...".
All of the pictures are my own artwork, and they took me hours, so please leave a comment with your three favourite images (mins/secs), in order.
Please check out my other videos, and also check out some of the 100 videos from my other YouTube account 'professoricon' (yes - 100).

I'm bothered.
Audio only, here is a fabulous live and solo version of Peter Hammill singing "Losing Faith In Words", from the 'unofficial' live album "Uptown Theatre, Kansas City, 28th August 1981" (from the same concert as my earlier upload of "Flight").
I compiled the video montage myself using footage mostly uploaded from YouTube (thank you, YouTube), plus a few clips that I created myself, plus a few special effects of my own.

Now the dance of rapture begins ...
Here is Peter Hammill singing "Shingle Song", from the 'unofficial' DVD live in Moscow 15 May 1995, accompanied by David Jackson, Stuart Gordon, and Manny Elias. This is the best version IMHO, although I'm sure the vote could be split.

Very atmospheric album.
Double CD - the first disk is just Peter with piano and voice - the second disk is just Peter with guitar and voice - great price too.
BUY IT !
It may be designed to replace the great album "Typical", which is now unavailable.
