Climbing up on Solsbury Hill, I could see the city light, wind was blowing, time stood still, Eagle flew out of the night

Solsbury Hill is the debut solo single of English musician Peter Gabriel. He wrote the song about a spiritual experience atop Little Solsbury Hill in Somerset, England, after his departure from the progressive rock band Genesis, of which he had been the lead singer since its inception. The single was a Top 20 hit in the UK, peaking at number 13, and reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1977 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solsbury_Hill_(song)

Solsbury Hill is a small flat-topped hill and the site of an Iron Age hill fort. It is located above the village of Batheaston in Somerset, England. The hill rises to 625 feet above the River Avon, which is just over 1 mile to the south, and gives views of the city of Bath and the surrounding area. It is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solsbury_Hill
