THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY

Peter Gabriel knew what he was doing. He knew what would be his last work with Genesis. He wrote a short story and from what we wrote the lyrics. It was not a clear and simple conception. The other band members were tired of the predominant figure of Peter. He wanted to write all the lyrics. He was stubborn. It was his story. The last bastion of a part of life. Then everything would be different.

The time is dilated. It took a long time to write this masterpiece of rock music. We can say that the music is beautiful. New. Superbe. The Genesis Foxtrot or Selling had gone well. Farther on. Instrumental pieces made of sounds and effects. The construction of a world. Strange. Imaginary. Broadway is there but is elsewhere.

There are songs that are unrepeatable. The Lamia is a masterpiece. Music and words that you agree to something just wonderful. Carpet Crawlers will remain forever. Anyway the same. Sweetness in the midst of absurd visions. The Colony of Slipperman where the voice becomes hoarse by Peter Gabriel and assumes the appearance of those incredible beings have turned into monsters after meeting the Lamia. You have to imagine this long trip. Imagine that the old woman Lilith shows Rael the way out of the room from 32 doors. We must imagine The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging as a factory of clones of human beings. Copies of human beings built according to specific customer information. The Supernatural Anaesthetis must imagine as death. Mr. Death.

Imagine that The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway has almost become a real thing. The world today is that Peter Gabriel is pictured in the story written almost forty years ago. For all this we should now listen to The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. To understand what we can do in our society on the road to destruction. Destruction of values, ideals, ideas ... A society where human beings were lost. We need to find people like Lilith. That give hope. One way to go. One way to find. If forty years after The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway can send something like that means a lot. We should listen to it again because of what we can transmit. Besides the wonderful music of Genesis in their training better and beyond words difficult to accept by Peter Gabriel.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway marked the end of an era. That of the great rock operas. And the decline of a society. But we did not know then that.
