Genesis - The Chamber Of 32 Doors Lyrics

Une époque musicale qui n'avait nul besoin de vidéo clip. Juste à écouter à un bon volume sonore sans être dérangé par autrui, les images surgissaient à l'esprit sans effort car la musique était vivante, inspirante et chaleureuse. De nos jours, on regarde la vidéo d'une chanson et ça donne très souvent l'envie de baisser le son. À l'époque, jamais je n'aurais songé un instant que ce serait aussi éphémère. Il ne faudrait surtout pas que cela tombe dans l'oubli.

Seen it live in Amsterdam (Carré)

That guitar intro makes me feel something i can't explain

At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people
Running around to all the doors
They try to find, find themselves an audience
Their deductions need applause

The rich man stands in front of me
The poor man behind my back
They believe they can control the game
But the juggler holds another pack

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

I'd rather trust a countryman than a town man
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can
He'll smile through his guard
Survival trains hard
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands
He looks at you once, you know he understands
Don't need any shield
When you're out in the field

But down here
I'm so alone with my fear
With everything that I hear
And every single door, that I've walked through
Brings me back, back here again
I've got to find my own way


The priest and the magician
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard
And they're all calling out my name
Even academics, searching printed word

My father to the left of me
My mother to the right
Like everyone else they're pointing
But nowhere feels quite right

And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust

I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found
There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound
If I choose a side
He won't take me for a ride

Back inside
This chamber of so many doors;
I've nowhere, nowhere to hide
I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me
Find a door
That doesn't lead me back again
Take me away

Propably one of the most beatiful songs ever

So émotionnal!
Genius!

To me this song was long Kind of "hidden" behind "The Carpet Crawlers". But now I found it.

Who are the 47 idiots that gave it thumbs down?

The first half of _Lamb Lies Down_ is like Genesis's best album -- more good stuff than you'll find anywhere else.


This song is the start of the second half.

the reason this album is genius? quite simply it is a narrative ... same reason crossing the Jordan with the master of words saint Peterson currently has the world listening hangin' on his every word ...

I think the lyric “I’d rather trust a man who doesn’t shout what he’s found. There’s no need to sell it when you’re homeward bound . . . “ may be referring to Werner Erhart, the founder of EST. The first training was around 1971 and the Lamb was released in 1975. Werner used to yell during the training to wake up the participants to the unconscious way they were living their lives. The fee for the training was around $500 US., not ot a small sum in the 70’s. The phrase, “I got it,” was part of the EST vocabulary.

"I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me, find a door that doesn't lead me back again" great lyric's line ... take me away!

bellissimo

Oops listening to Pink Floyd and Genesis

sooooooooo fucking profound.

38 dislikes must shout what they find.

For all love in Peter, this was the outcoming of phil. Congratulation. (?) schreibt man das so?

At the top of the stairs he finds a chamber. It is almost a hemisphere with a great many doors all the way round its circumference. There is a large crowd, huddled in various groups. From the shouting, Rael learns that there are 32 doors, but only one that leads out. Their voices get louder and louder until Rael screams "Shut up!" There is a momentary silence and then Rael finds himself the focus as they direct their advice and commands to their new found recruit. Bred on trash, fed on ash the jigsaw master has got to move faster. Rael sees a quiet corner and rushes to it.

album génial et mythique ! la grande époque prog. dont on reste nostalgique quand même.

i've been listening to this record for the past twenty years but still i don't know if i like it . is it normal ?

Something draws you

Like Dark side of the moon, this album will be played in hundreds of years time, achingly good track from a masterpiece.

pazzeschi sempre over and over

There was a time when I discovered this Album and I felt that Peter Gabriel expresed my thoughts and emotions in this song. sometimes it brouht tear to my eyes. The knowledge that there is a man in the world that feels like me gave me strengh and comfort. many times like Peter Gabriel was my spiritual father.

cet album, c'est toute ma jeunesse, merci les gars pour votre génie et votre générosité someday u were on the earth u sung and… Maybe u saved my life /// la musique est un élan du cœur la technique le coup de pouce de dieu… Et nos oreilles l'écoutille de notre âme … Foxtrot trespass … i was happy to b here and to listen 2 U … ROCK

This was about as good as it could get for music. It seemed perfect for Peter to move on after this masterpiece. Worked out for all. This was Jeff Buckley's favorite album..

I'm probably gonna get shot to f***ing pieces for this statement but overall I find 'The Lamb ...' a not very satisfactory listen. For me (apart from 1 or 2 other tracks on the album), this is the only one that stands up as a song in its own right. Genius.

"I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands,
He looks at you once, you know he understands,"
Is probably one of my favorite lines from any song.

Nearly... this was the catch for me... smitten after I heard this:

I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman,
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can,
He'll smile through his guard,
Survival trains hard.

I'd rather trust a countryman than a town man
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can
He'll smile through his guard
Survival trains hard
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands
He looks at you once, you know he understands
Don't need any shield
When you're out in the field

I wish I had lived this advice as a young man. My life would have been so much different. Better. Without such horrible betrayal and despair. But now. Now I am old.

This song is above 'music'.

🎼🎼 " I Need.. Someone to Believe In.. Someone To Trust"..🎶🎶🎤. Let me go...

The lyrics are just breathtaking, so is the musicianship

I have this album somewhere...

The intro alone is jaw-droppingly beautiful. Hackett and Banks play very well off each other.

this is in pretty high quality for something that was uploaded in 2011. i think it sounds better than the 2007 stereo mix currently on spotify.

"I need someone to believe in, someone to trust" is without any doubt, one of the greatest phrases in rock history.

A song to make a grown man cry.

Dit is een van de beste composers ever ,thank you Henk kromhout!!!

The most important sentences nowadays:
"I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.
I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman,
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can,
He'll smile through his guard,
Survival trains hard.
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands,
He looks at you once, you know he understands,
Don't need any shield,
When you're out in the field."

That is the way it is.

Todos los que escuchamos GENESIS seguimos su evolucion. Y por mucho. The lamb lies down on Broadway. Es un album magico ..Inspirado y muy bien logrado...solo que la obra tuvo varias canciones que no correspondence Al nivel Armonico en rock progresivo...la segunda parte del segundo disco..Steve Hackett y. Tony banks Mike Rutherford. Querrian haber colaboramos y mejorado esas composiciones.

Après cet album fantastique et inégalé , ils ne furent plus que trois et firent de la merde

una delle canzoni più belle di questo meraviglioso gruppo del grande prog rock....GENESIS!!!!

Io amo i Genesis -con Peter Gabriel- da una vita intera...Grandissimi!!!

2018 Squad where you at? When will this be on iTunes or google music

2:37 love this part of the song

Everytime people tell me how great "The Wall" is as an album, I give them this album. Not that The Wall is bad. But this album beats it by miles and miles.

The Wall? Honestly, if you're going to pick a comparable Floyd album Wish You Were Here should be numero uno. Darkside even. But not the Wall, man, no. Not that I dislike the Wall as a MOVIE, but it is not that great of an album to sit back and chill with. Might as well enjoy your evening with Ummagumma.

Yes, you right

way hey! aye, the wall falls in to ''pop'' status in the face of _rael_ prog rock.

Dead right mate

Two entirely different entities. Pink floyd were on there own doing stuff: to which I love. There were yes; again wonderful! Jon Anderson and the band; Chris squire and Howe. Genesis were the band! My favourite

At least 27 people on this earth have no soul.

36 like Nickleodeon!

Considering they released this album in the early 70's,its just mind boggling,how Gabriel,Banks,Rutherford,Phil,Hackett put together this album...Genius.

Best Genesis album

Gabriel singing from the heart. Underrated gabriel era genesis song.

It amazes me sometimes how Peter Gabriel went from songs like this, Supper's Ready, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, to songs like Shock the Monkey and In Your Eyes. I mean good for him but it's such a jump of genre.

The music on this was mostly by Steve Hackett; Supper's Ready had contributions from all the band members; and Moonlit Knight was developed by a piano piece by Peter by rest of the band...

Truly one of the greatest songs Genesis ever did.

22 people are town men

I am so happy; so enthralled, that this album came along, and I opened its door.

The priest and the magician...

That first 40 seconds tho!

my father to the left of me my mother to the right. how much more do u want.. take me away

excellent

Just genius, The whole album. The soundtrack to a surreal show. Never truly equaled.

Yes admittedly touches my soul to tears. Genius. The whole band.

I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands

simplesmente maravilhoso

Tragically beautiful, undoubtly the best track of the album that pictures the deep chaos our lost hero struggles to escape from, in an imagery that defies the best ever done by poets and philosophers. A unique and unequalled piece of art rock.

non vi mangiate la testa; il rock-prog fatto dai Genesis dal 1970 al 1975 non lo ascolteremo più da nessuno e da nessuna parte !!!

fantasy3510 Verissimo👍

Triste verità, ma solo loro hanno comunque fatto questa musica

siamo d'accordo. bene ha fatto Gabriel a lasciare la compagnia. specialmente dopo un album cosi, sfido chiunque altra band a fare di meglio

invece secondo me la separazione è stata un peccato. La sintonia fra Banks e Gabriel è bellissima e si sente che sono grandi amici. Dei veri HOMO FABER e in forma. Ho visto il concerto di Steve Hackett nel 2015 il quale ha riproposto tanti di questi brani nel modo più fedele possibile. I fan (della mia età poco + poco - , in visibilio). Nei testi c'è tantissima Divina Commedia. (Forse la studiano meglio gli Inglesi che noi).

"Take me away"...and he left. The voice sounds as sincere as it can get...wonderful PG.

" and ide give you all of my dream...if you'd help meee...find tha door that doesn't lead me back again...Take me away....shuu.. xoxo

this song along with "The cage" and "the carpet crawlers" are the best from this double album, almost all songs are good...but I believe if it were a single album it would be
their best!! So Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound are the best (IMHO)

Replace "The Cage" with "The Lamia" and you're right, IMO

This album is a canonical example of how the (incredible) talents of the individuals become so much more as the group than as the parts. I rarely listen to nostalgic music but make exception for works such as this.

adecuada para estos tiempos de confusión en el ámbito moral económico y en gral un laberinto

11 people don't get it

probably my favorite song on The Lamb. Gabriel poured his soul into this! It reminds me a bit of The Band ...soulful & real. Hackett and Collins are fine too, and that awesome Mellotron at the beginning! - Jesus!

What a Masterpiece. Genesis at their Very Best. This song is so good, and tack sharp, from front to back.

As is the whole album.

Agree and Very surprised Tony Banks didn't really like the Lamb Album.

Survival trains hard(this whole album uhhhhh amazing)

Is it me or did anything Gabriel do after this compare? With Genesis he was on the verge of being another Waters.

MIKE MUSTANG Absolutely, had he stayed with Genesis he could have taken them to another level than the Phil era, of course Roger is on a league of his own, but man I wish Peter would have stayed.

MIKE MUSTANG I love Pink Floyd and Waters is a genius but if Waters was a Gabriel for a day that would be a brilliant day for Waters.

Not to take anything away from Gabriel. He's not one of my personal favorite musicians but I do have respect for him as an artist and he made some pretty good music. But like all great, classic bands, every member made this band as big and special as it was. I like the direction Phil Collins took the band after Peter left. I personally prefer Phil Collins over Peter Gabriel though.

Collins did not dictate the direction, that was Mike And Tony but certainly his voice was the vehicle for the success to follow, it's all good!

This whole album is a work of genius. Just pure genius.

Lyrics are corny but quality of emotion production and arrangement quite marvelous

So great

I agree !!! A prog masterpiece the album is!!!

It is fuckin brilliant l have seen it live

Gabrial's voice has never been better

I cry with that song

You should; it's actually a very poignant song.

After all these many years, I have lost the joy/blast of this wonderful masterpiece.
I have to listen again!!

somos dois

You're not the only one who cries with this...

per me ci sono 2 band distinte ci sono i genesis quelli veri da trespass a the lamb ai genesis quelli più' pop e commerciali che iniziano da abacab in poi e nel mezzo i genesis sempre quelli più' pop che pero' hanno fatto buoni album da wind and wuthering a due

Prends la porte, mais la bonne !

That half-time bridge with the piano starting at "I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman" always reminds me of a song by The Who. I'm not sure which one it is, though

Behind blue eyes, maybe?

I feel with that bit as well with the bells it reminds me of the bells at the end of Supper

John Saunders - I think you're right! It DOES sound a bit like 'Behind Blue Eyes'.

@John Saunders I think you're right! It DOES sound a bit like Behind Blue Eyes.
It matches quite well with the melody for 'Nobody knows what it's like etc...'

@ThatFaceMelter94 That's it exactly. You've pinned it on the nose. Someone get ThatFaceMelter94 a burrito, you've earned it!

When I began to have doubts about the beliefs that society and my family had instilled in me, this song set me free. This album was a liberating force in my life and I will cherish it always. Well done, gents.

Indeed. keep seeking. John 14 : 6

FeatherInPhilly I love that you shared this. It helps me so much right now as I am going through a passage full of confusion and dispair. thank you

i need someone to believe in ...someone to trust...

Amazing Lyrics.

The most emotional performance Peter Gabriel ever gave as a member of Genesis.

EMOTIONAL!!!!! You should have seen them do this album live. Pete's emotion was so powerful. They had these barriers at Maple Leaf Gardens, in Toronto, to separate the front row of the floor seats and the stage. MY GOD!!!!! didn't Peter get on these flimsy barriers and start to rock back and forth and belt out this song and In the Cage. WOW!!!!! to say the least, the crowd was mesmerized.

I think they all thought Peter had too much influence on the album. The other band members felt like it was more Peter's album and not as much theirs.

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.

Jafgr. Take me away!.

Me resulta muy difícil imaginar cuales son los gustos musicales de la gente que puso pulgar abajo en este tema.

Es de no creer, un tema simplemente a otro nivel. Una de las mejores bandas de la historia haciendo uno de los mejores y más fascinantes discos jamás creados.

No se hizo la miel para la boca del asno

The Genesis band members seem not at all satisfied with The Lamb. Don't understand why. It's a historical and epic masterpiece (in my view).

Mike Rutherford was dissing his playing on fly on a windshield, the atmosphere as that solo kicks in is fucking epic!

they wanted to do it more, maybe possible, but also please the most ambitious concept album ever made couldnt be more, you have to accept limits. selling england remains not defeatable, nor a trick of the tail was less perfect

@Michèle G. Satanic?? Are you nuts?

God Always holds 'the pack' The rich man may have money, the poor man his ideology. I was once financially 'rich. I am 'poor' now. The song is a work of genius. We may think we are privileged. But such can be taken in a whim.

Watch the 2007 reissue interview with the band. They had no idea what it was all about.

Beautiful from the first note to the last!!

gosto muito , muito desse som. Esse disco todo é muito bom

rss rapaz vc é fogo hein kkkk. gosta de musicas do p.collins e não gosta de wakeman. é dificil. gosto é gosto. mas rick wakeman tem pouco mesmo. mas viagem ao centor da terra foimum marco, inegável.até porque o lançamento foi no brazil
viu que o motorhead master morreu ?

@rubens gonzales Viagem ao Centro da Terra é a visão absurda que Wakeman teve ao ilustrar um "conto de fadas quase desconhecido" com o apoio de uma orquestra fanfarrista. Eu não vejo graça neste álbum por isso. E sobre o cara do Motorhead, sim, eu vi as manchetes, o líder Lemmy morreu. Infelizmente...

o conto de fadas é do julio verne. viagem ao centro da terra é bem conhecido em todo mundo seja em filme ou desenho.mas respeito sua opinião, embora não concordo com ela

@rubens gonzales Tudo bem! Foi um prazer trocar idéias com você! Até a próxima, amigo!

I need someone to believe in, Someone to trust.

still applies :/

don't we all?

Joe Cool I’d rather trust a country man, than a town man x

What an amazing piece of music.

The Chamber of 32 Doors
At the top of the stairs, their's hundreds of people,
running around to all the doors.
They try to find themselves an audience;
their deductions need applause.

The rich man stands in front of me,
The poor man behind my back.
They believe they can control the game,
but the juggler holds another pack.

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.

I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman,
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can,
He'll smile through his guard,
Survival trains hard.
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands,
He looks at you once, you know he understands,
Don't need any shield,
When you're out in the field.

But down here,
I'm so alone with my fear,
With everything that I hear.
And every single door, that I've walked through
Brings me back here again,
I've got to find my own way.

The priest and the magician,
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard;
They're all calling out my name,
Even academics, searching printed word.

My father to the left of me,
My mother to the right,
Like everyone else they'er pointing
But nowhere feels quite right.

And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.

I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found,
There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound.
If I chose a side,
He won't take me for a ride.

Back inside
This chamber of so many doors;
I've nowhere to hide.
I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me,
Find a door
That doesn't lead me back again
-take me away

Bella...............ciao cugino.........fate un viaggio qui da noi?

@Alfredo Alois spero prestissimo! :)

When I get depression,I play this like now.

@Jellybeantiger That's what I'm doing as we speak :l

@Aart joining the club :/

New thoughts to focus on. Adopt. Replace. As I rewrite my thoughts that aren't helpful

Wonderful song, great lyrics... Brilliant creation!, enjoy this beauty...

el mejor genesis en su madurez dos años despues en esta gira peter gabriel en un pueblito de Francia les dijo Adios a Genesis

@Diego Santibañez Buenos, buenos, buenos.
