A beautiful song of Steve Hackett from his solo album "Darktown". Hackett is a former member of Genesis with whom he composed and played in their early, progressive years, departed right before they commenced playing soft rock. I didn't make any video, I just wanted you to know the song.
So, here you are:

For someone else the blues and greens
The dreaming spires the skin-tight jeans
The armchair armies on the march
The transfer unit tube and mask
Who needs all the endless lies
That serve to keep the world alive
To taste the sweetness of the grave
And not regret mistakes I've made

In memoriam

Goodbye to all the angry dawns
Committee meetings pistols drawn
You can keep the rave reviews
The priests the guards the prisons and zoos
Goodbye to all the nation's pride
Farewell to those all choosing a side
In hut number twelve they're issuing guns
But only for the chosen ones

In memoriam

  • Beutiful, recalls something of Epitaph, King Crimson.

  • @UsernameAvalibleYEAH Jeśli Ty w prostych słowach doszukujesz się poezji to to jest właśnie bełkot.

  • genesis went down the shit pipe when there was no more steve hackett, the music quite simply lost its soul....... A wonderfull composer of music.

  • Zbyt mi się kojarzy z "epitaph" King Crimson, zwłaszcza wstęp. Ale ogólnie bardzo ładnie zabrzmiało w słuchawkach :)

  • Ktoś odchodzi. . .

    by mogło przyjść nowe...

    oto odwieczne prawo natury...

    bytu...

    istnienia...

  • Dream as this song

  • piękniejszego epitafium nie znam. The Best. Juź zabukowałem-na pogrzebie tylko to.
