Peter Gabriel – "Solsbury Hill" on YouTube

"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. [7] [2] The single was a Top 20 hit in the UK, peaking at number 13, and reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1977. [8]

Contents

Gabriel has said of the song's meaning, "It's about being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get ... It's about letting go." [9]

The song is mostly written in 7
4 time, an unusual time signature that has been described as "giving the song a constant sense of struggle". [2] The meter settles into 4
4 time only for the last two measures of each chorus. [10] It is performed in the key of B major with a tempo of 102 beats per minute, with Gabriel's vocals ranging from F♯3 to G♯4. [11]

Background

Recorded at The Soundstage studios in Toronto, [12] producer Bob Ezrin placed some restrictions on the session musicians to give the song its distinctive sound. While earlier versions of the song featured more prominent electric guitar, Ezrin instructed guitarist Steve Hunter to instead perform the main riff on a twelve-string guitar, an instrument "he hadn't played in a long time". [13] However, Hunter states that he instead borrowed a Martin acoustic guitar, and Travis picked the voicings with a capo on the second fret. As Ezrin wanted the acoustic guitar to be tripled, Hunter was required to provide three satisfactory takes, all of which had to be aligned with one another. [14]

Rather than employ a full drum kit, Allan Schwartzberg placed a shaker in one hand and a drum stick in another, which he used to strike a telephone directory. For additional rhythmic textures, Larry Fast constructed a fake drum kit on his keyboard, which he dubbed the "synthibam", [13] although the liner notes credit percussionist Jimmy Maelen with the instrument. [15] After all of the session musicians departed, Fast also overdubbed some additional electronics, including the synth horn orchestration. [13] From verse two onwards, a subdued four note flute riff, played by Gabriel himself, sounds-off the beginning of each section of the lyrics. [2]

The song originally had seven different parts, but Ezrin helped Gabriel pare it down to a shorter length. [16] In a 1977 interview with Barbara Charone, Gabriel revealed that "Solsbury Hill" was almost left off his first album. [17] Ezrin attributed this to the final line of the chorus, which was originally "make your life a taxi not a tomb", which he refused to allow on the album. He commented that the song "was not going on the record until we found the proper last line". Several alternate lyrics were attempted, including "does anyone here know Officer Muldoon?", and the two also considered backmasking the lyric "fool, you've got the record on backwards". During the final day of mixing, Gabriel changed the line to "grab your things I've come to take you home", which Ezrin accepted. [18] Gabriel ultimately expressed his approval of the song, placing particular attention on its 7/4 time signature. "It's got a kick time and that 7/4 rhythm works well because it feels like a normal rhythm but isn't quite right...If it's a hit, it'll be interesting to see how people dance to it." [17]

Critical reception

Cash Box said that "its lighthearted feeling should go a long way in expanding his audience beyond the boundaries of so-called 'Progressive Rock.'" [19] Record World said that "the folk flavored song has an interesting electronic undercurrent." [20] NME described "Solsbury Hill" as the "most overtly personal song on the album", further adding that "its simple and infectious melody" gave the feeling that Gabriel's departure from the band "was like having the proverbial weight lifted from his shoulders." [16] Melody Maker also gave the song a positive review, writing that "its beautifully syncopated rhythm is utterly addictive." They singled out further praise for Ezrin's production and the song's "perfectly developed riff." [21] In 2021, it was listed at No. 472 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". [22]

Use in soundtracks

The song has been used in a number of films and television shows, including the 2001 film Vanilla Sky [23] and the 2004 film In Good Company . [24] It has also been used in the trailer of Finding Dory (2016), [25] and featured as the send-off song for the series finale of AMC's Halt and Catch Fire . [26] It was also used for the conclusion of an episode of Fox's 9-1-1 . [27] It was used in a Cingular Wireless TV ad campaign, [28] a Toyota ad campaign, [29] and a Nespresso TV ad campaign. [30] Its prevalence in romantic comedy trailers has been called "ubiquitous", particularly its inclusion in a satirical re-cut trailer of The Shining (1980). [31]

Erasure – "Solsbury Hill" on YouTube

"Solsbury Hill" was recorded by English synth-pop duo Erasure in 2003 for their cover versions album Other People's Songs and released as a single in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2003. The single reached No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 7 in Denmark, No. 29 in Germany, No. 39 in Sweden, and No. 41 in Ireland. The track was chosen for the album by Erasure member Vince Clarke.

Clarke and lead vocalist Andy Bell turned the song into a mid-tempo electronic dance tune, displaying the signature Erasure sound. The band changed the structure of the song from the original 7
4 time signature to 4
4—except for the chorus, which slips back into 7
4 time for one line. This also results in the vocals in the verses effectively being shifted forward in comparison to Gabriel's (which start on beat 5 of each bar) to start on beat 1 of bars 1 and 3.[ citation needed ]

Clarke directed a music video for the cover which was released on Erasure's DVD compilation Hits! the Videos . [40]
