" Solsbury Hill " is the debut solo single by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. He wrote the song about a spiritual experience atop Solsbury Hill in Somerset, England, [5] [2] [6] after his departure from the progressive rock band Genesis, of which he had been the lead vocalist since its inception.
- Solsbury Hill (1977) As breezy and sun-kissed as the spiritual stroll that inspired it, Gabriel’s post-Genesis debut ploughs an atypical autobiographical furrow, musing on the break with the past and what the future might bring.
- Red Rain (1986) An incredibly assured anthem, Gabriel adds an AIDS metaphor to his clutch of 80s fears and worries. Daniel Lanois’ peerless production still sparkles 30 years later, bass stalwart and all-round-don Tony Levin plays out of his skin and Stewart Copeland’s hi-hat (simulating the rain of the title) is a drummer’s masterclass.
- Games Without Frontiers (1980) Invariably misheard up and down the playgrounds of Britain’s comprehensive schools, the song’s French refrain - Jeux Sans Frontieres - was a linguistic challenge, sometimes manifesting as ‘she’s so funky, yeah?’
- Biko (1980) Gabriel’s first real foray into activism and world music, the story of anti-apartheid campaigner Steve Biko’s death in police custody in South Africa, came full circle when it was performed at Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday celebrations at Wembley, 1988.
