Genesis

J'assume figurer aussi parmi ceux pour qui sans Steve Hackett et Peter Gabriel Genesis s'est arrêté.

Si l'on peut émettre un souhait, ce serait que soient perçus aussi, par delà les sons, les intrigants Lyrics, le point n'est pas de savoir si l'équivalent se produit aujourd'hui, avec une telle renommée, un tel écho à la parution, pour d'autres artistes, d'autres projets, mais bel et bien constater le schisme, la rupture entre le Genesis tel qu'il était sous Gabriel/Hackett/Banks/Rutherford et ce que Phil Collins qu'on vous a asséné ensuite, pour qu'il n'y ait pas de confusion:

Carpet Crawlers

There is lambswool under my naked feet.
The wool is soft and warm,
Gives off some kind of heat.
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed.
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid.
The fleas cling to the golden fleece,
Hoping theyll find peace.
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.
Theres no hiding in my memory.
Theres no room to void.

The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.
For my second sight of people, theyve more lifeblood than before.
Theyre moving. Theyre moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
Where the needles eye is winking, closing in on the poor.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.

Theres only one direction in the faces that I see;
Its upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be.
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree.
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing that theyre free.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.

Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright.
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlight;
Its the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.

The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.
The eager pack lift up their pitchers- the carry all they lack.
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack,
And the tickler takes his stickleback.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
Weve got to get in to get out
Weve got to get in to get out.

Pas sûr de risquer la modération en postant ça ici, avec en argument fort que c'est la guitare de Steve Hackett.

M'a beaucoup hanté.
Quoi ?
Oui, encore aujourd'hui.
Pourquoi ?
C'était une question, ce que vous posiez ?

j'ai tendance à faire un amalgame Genesis-Phil Collins. je connais très mal et on m'en a dit du bien, mais j'ai du mal. donc j'essaye de temps en temps...

(je dois être trop câblé sur les "musiques sauvages pour tromper l'ennui").
