Regarding his song ÒSolsbury HillÓ (1977), Peter Gabriel has written: ÒItÕs about being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get, or what you are for what you might be. ItÕs about letting go. By letting go, you create the space for something new to happen. ItÕs a personal struggle to learn to jump off the diving board.Ó The fundamental meaning of GabrielÕs words is to be willing to accept change within oneself; to let go of long-held beliefs, opinions, or perspectives in order to grow beyond them. This is very difficult for most adults to do without a personal revelation of some kind. So, if we take into consideration that the song was a direct result of a moment of meditation of Gabriel on Solsbury Hill, we can infer that the change within the English musician was sudden and not as a result of a gradual transition. IsnÕt it reasonable to assume then that something significant happened in Peter GabrielÕs life while meditating on Solsbury Hill?
