They got this line from a John Keats poem--On Chapman's Homer: 'Then I felt like some watcher of the skies, when a new planet swims into his ken, or when stout Cortez stood with eagle's eyes, he stared at the Pacific with all his men silent on a peak in Darien.' (Keat's first groundbreaking poem).

Reading the lyrics of old Genesis songs I am amazed at how significant they are over 30 years later.

Came across Genesis in '75 saw the Lamb tour. Whew! Then went backwards in time did Selling, Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, etc. Gabriel, Hackett, Banks, Rutherford, Collins. Can you get anymore talent in one band?!?

Everyone who gave my comment a thumbs down, I was not talking about this song. I was talking to lymph12 about punk-rock and emo.

I discovered these guys in a 50 cent bin 2 years before anyone I knew knew of them. Trespass, then Selling England blew my mind , then I went back to Foxtrot and went crazy for that. They were so utterly unique and strange that I barely tried to sell others on them though I secretly just worshiped the stuff, especially Gabriel's voice. More fool me. Absolute gold encrusted classic. Had Gabriel seen the Thing? With its watch the skies, watch the skies ending? So very wonderful.

I grew up in Ottawa...saw them 3X with Gabriel once w/ Collins. Was fortunate to have gone to the same shows in Montreal. And you're so right about Montreal. It was a hotbed for ProgRock...still is. They got a great reception in my hometown. Everyone was awestruck. I'm still speechless.
