Angels live inside me ... Audio only, Peter Hammill sings "Man-Erg" ... The Best Song Ever Writ ...... and this is the the best version of it I ever heard. Extraordinary live and solo version of the much-loved Van Der Graaf Generator classic. ================================ Man - Erg (LYRICS) The killer lives inside me; yes, I can feel him move. Sometimes he's lightly sleeping in the quiet of his room; but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine, he'll speak my words and slice my mind inside. Yes, the killer lives. The angels live inside me, I can feel them smile; their presence strokes and soothes the tempest in my mind and their love can heal the wounds that I have wrought. They watch me as I go to fall; well, I know I shall be caught while the angels live. How can I be free? How can I get help? Am I really me? Am I someone else? But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of gloom and Death's Head throws his cloak into the corner of my room and I am doomed. But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my youth and solemn, waiting Old Man in the gables of the roof: he tells me truth. And I, too, live inside me and very often don't know who I am; I know I'm not a hero well, I hope that I'm not damned. I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these, dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace as long as Man lives... I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these: dictators, saviours, refugees. ============================== From the unofficial .... + Informações

The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage, 1974 Willie, what can I say to you to hold true in your changing life? You've come into a cruel world; little girls can lose their way in the growing night... I hope you'll be alright. Willie, try to stay a child sometime, for as long as you feel you can learn. Babies all turn to people and people can really be strange; they change and, changing, bring pain. Try to treat your parents well because they care, and what more can you do? When you find your lovers, be good to them as you hope they'll be to you - be honest, be true. Willie, you are the future; all our lives, in the end are in your hands. Life's hard now; you know it gets harder and hope is but a single strand: we pass it on and hope you'll understand.... We know that we do it wrong, we're not so strong and not so sure at all; groping in our blindness, we may seem big now but, really, we're so small and alone and searching for a home in the night. Meanwhile you're still a baby; you'll be a lady soon enough and then you will feel the burn. So hold my words: people all turn to children, spiteful children, and they're really so cruel, cruel fools! Just follow your own rules... don't think that I'm silly, Willie, if I say I hope that there is hope for you.. + Informações

You must pay the price of hate and that price is your soul... Peter Hammill (audio only) plays the song "The Emperor In His War Room" from the now seemingly unavailable solo album "The Peel Sessions", recorded live and solo 19th August 1974 for the BBC Radio One John Peel radio sessions - first broadcast 3rd September 1974 - added as a bonus track to the recently remastered album "In Camera". I compiled the video montage myself utilising footage mostly downloaded from YouTube, with some of my own added effects and filters. Please check out my other videos. Comments are most welcome.. + Informações

We began to notice that we could be free ... Peter Hammill (audio only) plays the Van Der Graaf Generator favourite "Refugees", from the unofficial live and solo album "Skeletons of Songs", accompanied by my own video compilation. Recorded live at the All Souls Unitarian Church in Kansas City (USA) in February 1978, Hammill explains that all songs when first written exist in their 'skeleton' form, and when playing live and solo none of the orchestration and overdubbing added later are included. Live and solo is by far my favourite way of listening to Peter Hammill, and this album is amongst my top ten all-time favourite albums without question. I have uploaded some of my other favourite tracks from this album. I compiled the video montage myself utilising footage mostly downloaded from YouTube, with some of my own added effects and filters.

Song from the album Fool's Mate, 1971 I have a vision of you, locked inside my head; it creeps upon my mind, and warms me in my bed... A vision shimering, shifting moving in false firelight; a vision of a vision, protecting me from fear at night, as the seasons roll on, and my love stays strong. I don't know where you end, and where it is that I begin. You simply open my mind, and the memories flood on in. I remember waking up, with you arms around me; I remember losing myself finding that you'd found me, as the seasons roll on, and my love stays strong. Be my child, be my lover, swallow me up in your fire-glow. Take my tongue, take my torment, take my hand and don't let go. Let me live in your life, for you make it all seem to matter; Let me die in your arms, so the vision may never shatter... The seasons roll on; my love stays strong. Video used here is by artist/photographer Daryl Darko. The original, higher-quality version can be found here: vimeo.com. + Informações

Pain and love go hand in hand ... Audio only, this is a great 'skeleton' live version of the roller-coaster ride that is Peter Hammill's "Time Heals". The audio is from the unofficial live album 'Skeletons of Songs' recorded live in February 1978 in Kansas, originally this was on the album "Over" from 1976. I pieced together the video montage myself utilising footage mostly downloaded from YouTube (thank you YouTube), with some of my own added effects and filters. Please check out my other videos.

The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage, 1974 Once, all the stars in the sky were bright, now they're red and fading and all the colours we wore, the shades that we bore have moved. And the gold turns to red with no time for changes. Red Shift, all moving away from we. Once, constellations were holy, now darkness pervades all the older ones and in the brunt of implosion, all yesterday's golden now reddened suns and hope is a word with no space for blame in. Red Shift, displaced now in time and relativity, Red Shift, all moving away from we. So here I am, though I might well be with me, I'm falling down deep to the rim of the wheel. Is it sham? Does the world have a meaning? The more that we know , the greater confusion grows: stars are like atoms, and atoms are patterns and probably in the end maybe its all been a dream .... Time locked in negative matter, all theories shatter beneath the weight. Happy is the man who believes that the world is a dream and all reason, fate. And time moves on with no time, the eye moves on with no rhyme, and I'm a song in the depth of the galaxies. Red Shift is taking away my sanity, Red Shift, all moving away from we ..... + Informações

Peter Hammill plays here "Traintime" from the DVD 'In The Passionkirche' live in Berlin 1992. Originally this song was from the 1991 PH solo album 'Patience'. Again, not one of my favourite PH songs, but nevertheless, mesmorising. Comments are welcomed. Please check out my other videos.. + Informações
