Hi everybody, Steve Hackett here and I'm going to steer you through something from Lamb Nights at Elmore Broadway.
This time it's Fly on a Windshield.
[A]
[Em]
[Bm] I wouldn't play you anything off Lamb [Em] that I didn't like myself.
I like this very much.
[Bm] It's largely an atmospheric piece, but very powerful.
Particularly powerful live of course, [G] but here we are at home playing this back at a level I can [D] talk about it over.
[F#]
[B] The chords are very, they're very [E] tony.
I think of the influence of Respighi [F#] and that idea of the legions coming to life [Em] that you get with some of the classical music.
Respighi, Mazorski.
[Bm] Again, it's got those wide [E] dynamics.
It's characteristic [F#] of so much of beloved progressive music.
Orchestral keyboards, [F#m]
Mellotron, RMI piano, Rassi [F#] effect.
The chord change, [F#m] a little bit Ravel-like [B] again, going up a tone to a major.
[Bm] I think, still very [F] beautiful.
[A#m] And then, these [Fm] very evocative lyrics over the top.
[F] I'm going to take it back a little bit.
Hope Pete doesn't mind while I talk over that.
[A#m] [F] It's really a piece that I love.
I think it's Genesis at its most orchestral in spirit.
I think it's [A#m] challenging lyrically.
[F] Although it's called Fly on a Windshield, originally we [A#m] thought of this as Pharaohs.
We thought of it as Egyptian in spirit.
[F] It's got all of that and much more.
And of course, the [A#m] band on the instrumental section that [F] we've just come through,
we were all playing live.
So, absolutely what you hear is what you get.
So, I think it's also very honest.
Very magical, still love it.
This time it's Fly on a Windshield.
