one day - Genesis video free download
The music on From Genesis To Revelation sounds very little like what Genesis would produce even two years later. When this album was recorded in 1968, the ages of the band members ranged from 16 to 18, and none of them considered themselves proficient musicians as they had hardly any studio experience.
Don't get me wrong
I think I'm in love
But the feeling in the word is more
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me
Don't get me wrong
Open your eyes
Although I cannot show my heart
I'll watch and hope while you are near to me
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you
Birds of the sky, may I borrow your wings?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To travel with me to the world outside
Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To come inside the nest I'll build alone
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you
Animal friends
Help me decide
When should I ask my love to leave?
I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me
Breathe in deep
Now is the time
She looks at me and gently smiles
As if she knew I'd ask her all the time
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

I'll chime in if I may. String arrangements were a popular tool of producers back then and the vibe was "if so and so does I can do it too" carries on here. Jonathan King had a hit already with Everyone's gone to the Moon -Not a bad track actually . SO I am inclined to believe that he was trying to get a hit out of these guys as well10 years ago

It was written and recorded during the same time period as when the Moodys were composing their greats. Many songs in those years had this same 'sound' . Quite a classic time and glad to have witnessed it.10 years ago

And I feel something similar. It's so strange, provided that Genesis, Beatles, Yes and many others come from a culture so different than mine. At the time I started listening to them I didn't know a word of English, later on there was the infamous conflict between UK and Argentina for the Malvinas/Falkland islands. Even so, this kind of music was kept deeply in my heart. Amazing.11 years ago

I keep wondering if the original master tapes are still available? If so, wouldn't it be possible for the band members to get together and do away with the string parts and make it how they first envisaged it?11 years ago

Peter didn't turn his back on anything, not musically anyway. You can sort of tell what Genesis bits were Peter's, as most of them sound like something he would have done solo. From Nursery Cryme onward, Peter and Phil, and to a lesser extent Mike, were the pop connoisseurs within the band.11 years ago

Wow, that book you mention is a must read, so then. I used to love this album, but I really think this is not what Mr. Gabriel wanted to mean with his music and art.11 years ago

I've gotten used to the strings but my first introduction to them was reading a book on the band which put a pretty negative spin on it. Not to say I don't have my own opinion on it but according to the author it was an attempt by Jonathon King to match the Bee Gees sound of the day which is definitely not the direction Genesis headed on their subsequent albums. The book, "The Evolution of a rock band: Genesis" by Armando Gallo is a really good read that doesn't sensationalize the band.11 years ago

Ok. So, in your personal point of view, do you consider those string arrangements as awful and cheesy?11 years ago

Wikpedia: "The resulting album, From Genesis to Revelation, was released on Decca Records in March 1969. During the sessions, Stewart was replaced by John Silver on drums. The band recorded a series of songs influenced by the light pop style of the Bee Gees, one of (Jonathon) King's favourite bands at the time. King assembled the tracks as a concept album, and added string arrangements during the production".King discovered them and added the cheesy strings -the band never let that happen again.11 years ago

So true, Arkan, and yes Prog-ish could be applied to some of his solo work but maybe not pure prog and definitely never mistaken as a Genesis song. It is also interesting that though Pete wrote much of the lyric for Genesis his solo work also does not seem similiar lyrically. Again, I am a huge fan of both Genesis and Gabriel solo but I guess my point is that technically Peter is the one who turned his back on Genesis the most. Tony and Mike and Steve and yes Phil stayed on course for a bit.11 years ago
