So, driven to distraction
By witless repartee
And wittering conversation
Of deep banality,
Eventually
He seeks out interaction,
Fresh eccentricity,
On closer observation
Nothing's all that it seems to be,
Nothing's more than it seems to be.
He scattered himself all over the place
While hiding behind closed doors
And day by dull day fell more off the pace -
A life suspended in live pause
He gave of himself in fractional clues,
Oblique synchronicities
But nobody knows how alien he grew,
How, drained away behind his open face,
He'd lost his identity.
Now nothing else is left behind,
Just the fallen side of the sky,
A thousand miles away from home
I feel the cold ghost breath fly by
Out of the dream.
Now the image blurs
Of how we seemed,
Of what we were.
Van der Graaf Generator is an English progressive rock band formed in 1967. Considered pioneers of the genre, they are known for their complex and experimental music, characterized by jazz, classical, and theatrical influences. The group achieved success in the 1970s, particularly in Italy, where they enjoyed immense popularity. Among the founding members are Peter Hammill (vocals, keyboards), Hugh Banton (organ, bass), Nic Potter (drums) and David Jackson (flute, saxophone). Over the years, the lineup has undergone several changes, but the core group has always remained the same. Van der Graaf Generator were one of the first groups to be signed by Charisma Records, the record label founded by Tony Stratton-Smith. Their musical style was influenced by artists like King Crimson, Genesis and Pink Floyd, but they managed to stand out for their originality and experimental approach. Among the group's most representative songs are "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers", "Killer on the Road" and "Megalomania". In 2005, the band embarked on a reunion tour that continues to this day, demonstrating their ability to remain active and engage audiences with their music.
