Today I will play a great tune for u, You will enjoy it :)
"Solsbury Hill" is a song by British musician Peter Gabriel, about a spiritual experience atop Solsbury Hill in Somerset", England. Gabriel wrote the song after his departure from the progressive rock band Genesis, of which he had been the lead singer since its inception, explaining the reasons behind his departure." It was his debut single. The single was a Top 20 hit in the UK and reached the Top 70 on the Billboard Hot 100."
It has been used in a number of movies, for example in the soundtracks of the 2001 film Vanilla Sky, and the 2004 film In Good Company. The song has been covered by many artists, including moe., Dave Matthews, Erasure, Sarah McLachlan, Saga, and Justin Hines, among others.
The song uses a 7/4 time signature for the vast majority of the song. The last two measures of each chorus are in 4/4.
Peace, Thetania
