Biography

Formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey, South East England, UK in 1967, Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time. Their early work is characterized by complex song structures, elaborate instrumentation and the theatrical antics of founder member and vocalist [a=Peter Gabriel], who left the band August 15, 1975. Unable to find a suitable replacement, it was drummer [a=Phil Collins] who assumed lead vocal duties. This change, as well as the departure of guitarist [a=Steve Hackett], two years later, saw the remaining three members (Phil Collins, keyboardist [a=Tony Banks] and bassist/guitarist [a=Mike Rutherford]) move into more accessible pop-based music. This change in style resulted in a huge growth in Genesis' popularity throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1996 Phil Collins left to concentrate on his solo work and other projects, leaving erstwhile bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks to forge ahead with new recruit; [a=Stiltskin] vocalist [a=Ray Wilson]. This line-up lasted for one album only (1997's [i]Calling All Stations[/i]) and Genesis soon found itself on hiatus after the poor performance and critical reaction of the new album. In 2006 – after years of speculation – Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford reformed Genesis for the successful [i]Turn It On Again[/i] tour. A reunion involving ex-members Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett remains much talked-about and unrealised. Inducted into the [b]Rock & Roll Hall of Fame[/b] in 2010 (performer).

LYRICS

What was it you said to me
Back in the days when things looked fine
'Bout how we would be together
Until we left the earth behind
Oh, it's funny how things can change
'Cos there was a time I thought I'd be the one
Who'd even start again
But now I stay forever

Oh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care you oughtta
Ah, and into the light
Oh maybe when you're older and you're thinking back
You might recall
Now did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be
All of our lives
In love and harmony
All of our lives
So now take my hand
Come hold me closely
As near as you can
Believe in all that we could be
And all that we have been
And all that we are

Everyday seems summertime
The rivers flow with wine
And when you were here with me
I wish we'd stayed that day forever

Oh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water...
