Solsbury Hill (song)
"Solsbury Hill" is a song by English musician Peter Gabriel about a spiritual experience atop Solsbury Hill in Somerset, England. Gabriel wrote the song after his departure from the progressive rock band Genesis, of which he had been the lead singer since its inception. The song was his debut single. The single was a Top 20 hit in the UK and reached #68 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in 1977.〔("Peter Gabriel Chart History" ). Billboard. Retrieved 3 February 2015〕 The song has often been used in film trailers for romantic comedies.〔( "Peter Gabriel: Story That Bruce Springsteen Was Inspiration for 'Solsbury Hill' Is 'Hogwash" ). ''Rolling Stone''. Retrieved 3 February 2015〕
Gabriel has said of the song's meaning, "It's about being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get... It's about letting go."〔Daryl Easlea (2013).("Without Frontiers: The Life & Music of Peter Gabriel" ). Music Sales Group〕 Former bandmate Tony Banks acknowledges that the song reflects Gabriel's decision to break ties with Genesis, but it can be also applied in a broader sense.
==Use in soundtracks==
It has been used in a number of films, including the 2001 film ''Vanilla Sky''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vanilla Sky (2001) Soundtrack )〕 and the 2004 film ''In Good Company''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=In Good Company (2004) Soundtrack )〕 Its prevalence has been called "ubiquitous", particularly its inclusion in a satirical re-cut trailer of ''The Shining''.
