Dropped jaw bones...just quietly buried in stones?

I absolutely love everything you do on GENESIS.

When i came upon one of your very well done videos on you tube,I had to pick up my jaw from the floor. 

Now I am trying to view everything that you have produced.

The LAMB collectively is the most important music in my life.

There is something very special in the LAMB.That only LAMB lovers can know.

I would love to know which two pieces you might consider your favorite.

I know it is hard to choose. 
Mine are IN THE CAGE. and ANYWAY. 

Even though I might be late on the scene. That won't stop me from becoming one of your biggest fans.

Lil:     Hi, Mike !!  I'm a big fan of YOURS, too!  *grin*

        OK....so, you asked me for my two favorite songs in the Lamb.  Ga!  Why don't you just ask me to cut out my heart, 
         really shave it..and give it to the Slippermen to play Bocce Ball with it - for that would be easier for me to do, my friend!   
         *honest laughter*
         Right, here goes.....  *Lil holds her breath, squeezes her eyes shut in mock pain*   
         "Anyway"...and.... (roll of drum)  "The Lamia"  !!!!!

         I weep every time I see The Musical Box perform these songs...superimposing Peter's live vocals (which, by now, the 
          emotional power of which I have memorized down to my cellular-level) over that of Denis'.

        How could you escape the soul-piercing penetration of Gabriel lyrics as "..Enrich the soil..not everybody's goal!"  and
        "Each empty snake-like body floats, Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats"  !!!!!!!!!   *getting misty-eyed*

       Is it not a wonder that we all are drawn so, to this magnificent allegorical/musical masterpiece - so ingrained in the fiber of           
      who we once were..and still are, upon reflections of the past, in our buried intrinsic personal layers?!

      All my understanding Lamb love,
      xoxo Lil

*FOR SERIOUS LAMB FANATICS ONLY !!!* 

A
n Analysis of the many allegorical layers, written by Peter Gabriel, within the pivotal song "The Chamber of 32 Doors" on the original Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album.

Jungian Archetype Theory, The Power of Myth's Hero's Journey and the Tibetan Book of the Dead provide the framework with which Gabriel wrote of his pending decision to leave Genesis.
Add onto that the visual work of "El Topo" director Alejandro Jodorowsky, as Peter's inspiration - and you have one, very serious surrealistic work of art.

WARNING/ADVISORY:   This trilogy of videos are DEEP (because these metaphysical/psychoanalytical works were what Peter Gabriel had been reading up until the uber-rushed writing of The Lamb)!
Although, he claims the lyrics are flawed - many still consider it a layered work of genius.
Part Surrealism, Part Metaphysical, Part Self Psychoanalytical. 

These videos are the result of 2 years of intense research and many contributions by many people (several, quite close to Peter Gabriel & Genesis).

As Tony Robinson wrote for the 1970-1975 Genesis Box Set: "It's a mistake to think of the narrative as only having one meaning because every listener must create their own personal story."
This trilogy's analysis is not set in concrete.  It is meant to elucidate upon the metaphysical texts by which Peter was reaching to obtain his own new pathway (out of the band and into his own solo career, away from "Genesis-the-Big")....as well as start new discussions as to what the album meant to YOU, the listener.
From all of us who collaborated on these videos....ENJOY!!
