In Germany, his days finally caught him;
I won't insult his memory with long-distance grief.
Tears and wakes weren't his style: not him,
Not for Keith.
He'd have laughed in my face if he saw it get mournful,
He'd pull me up short and say "Life carries on"
In that gentle way of being cruelly scornful...
Now he's gone.
"I want to see it all, and eat it"
Was as close to ethos as he came;
Though he knew he couldn't beat it,
He never gave of himself anything less than best
In the game.
Oh, one of the game...
I never did say, I never quite found time:
He taught me a lot, and I carry it still.
Never thanked him at all for his friendship
And now I never will.
The diaries we write are those that we crave for,
We never put the P.S. at the foot of the final page.
He deserved more time, but he never was made for
Middle age,
Not for middle age.
Not for Keith
Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill (born August 19, 1948) is a British singer-songwriter, keyboardist, and multi-instrumentalist, best known for being the frontman of Van der Graaf Generator and his prolific solo career. Hammill began playing music at the age of seven, influenced by artists like Bob Dylan and The Beatles. In 1967 he formed Van der Graaf Generator, a progressive rock band that achieved great success in the 1970s with albums such as "Pawn Hearts" (1972) and "Godbluff" (1970). Hammill is known for his unique, powerful, and theatrical vocal style, often accompanied by complex and introspective lyrics. After the first dissolution of Van der Graaf Generator in 1978, Hammill continued to record music under his own name, releasing over 30 albums throughout his career. Some of his most representative tracks include "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (1973), "Man-Erg" (1976) and "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage" (1982). His music is characterized by a dark, melodic, and often experimental atmosphere, with influences ranging from progressive rock to jazz fusion. Hammill has collaborated with numerous artists, including David Sylvian and Robert Fripp.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
