I agree it's a great Genesis prog record and I couldn't care less that there's one 3 minute pop song that saved the band. ATTWT would be better if had been produced as nicely as Wind And Wuthering and Trick Of The Tail but can't have everything I suppose.
The Lady Lies - Bass (Mike Rutherford) Drums (Phil Collins) Synths/Pianos (Tony Banks). After 46 years I am still mesmerized by this song. Amazing work, guys!
Best track on the album for me, and I can’t believe no one has mentioned…IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BASS!! absolutely stunning playing from Mike, to my mind it’s what makes the track.
lol you said it's all about the bass, then HqHq said about Phil's drumming and for me, it's Tony's keys. That's why I love this band, the virtuosity of all members.
I always use this as an example. When people ask who my favorite bass guitar players are. And when I say Michael Rutherford is in my top 3 I point to this song as to why.
I think this is a superb track. Not just the bass, but the keys and the drumming. That synth sound in late 70s was magic. This album introduced me to genesis when a friend gave me a cassette copy from his vinyl in 1978. Wow, what a time and what music! Oh, and of course, the lyrics. Spot on!
you guys are NEVER EVER going to witness miracles of what these men managed to achieve together in music EVER again . do you hear me?! this is music of the gods!
Not just a great Genesis album, but in my view one of the greatest albums by anyone. Such a stunning moment in this band's history. This track personifies that and I still get chills every time I hear it. It remains astonishing almost 45 years later. Let the time that's passed sink in for a moment. No other album ever sounded remotely like And Then There Were Three - what a fantastic achievement.
Amen. I was listening to Motherlode the other night and was totally struck by Phil's Voice. WOW. And this was before his Solo career. Genesis attracted Guy Fans back then... I was one of them...always have wondered why? What is it about Young Men that these songs hit so hard?? Well said. Real Music. Great Album. THE BEST BAND!! lol
@@krismurphy7711not saying Phils was bad. Its ironic as he got screwed becoming lead singer. Maybe one of the best drummers in rock history and he will be remembered for 80s commercial crap. People forget albums like this and his drummimg from earlier albums.
I love Genesis, and have for decades, but I ignored this album over the years. Of course' I'm familiar with Follow You, Burning Rope, and Motherload. I've just discovered this tune, and it's like a new Genesis song to me. Wow, what a gem!
The lyrics to this great song: The man steps out in the moonlight At the sound of a scream from below. He thinks he is a warrior So he picks up his sword and goes. From the mouth of the monster He rescues the maiden fair. But we know she's a demon Come to lure him to demon's lair. Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home. "Come with me, I need you I fear the dark and I live all alone. I'll give you wine and food too And something special after if you like." And though his body bids him To enter in with her There was something in her manner That his mind could not ignore. Also it is whispered In the kingdom far and wide To beware a little cottage In the forest in a glade. For who knows what magic takes place in his world? So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way. "Come with me, I need you I fear the dark and I live all alone. I'll give you wine and food too And something special after if you like. Come to my garden Taste the fruits and the spices of love. You can't resist me I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of." "So glad you could make it We had everything arranged. So glad you saw fit to pay a call." Some men never listen And others never learn But why this man did as he did Only he will ever know. He knew he was walking Into a waiting trap Neatly set up for him With a bait so richly wrapped. So he went inside there to take on what he found But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires? "Come with me, I need you I fear the dark and I live all alone. I'll give you wine and food too And something special after if you like."
Thanks for posting the lyrics. I've been listening to the lp since it's release and don't know half of them. Music's always first with me. Thx for posting , God Bless 🙌✨️ 🙏✨️🙌
How do I keep discovering great genesis songs. I've loved this band for years at this point. I thought I heard all the great stuff but this is amazing and I had no idea it was out there. Wow! This band is truly one of a kind!
🥀Amazing Song he's such an amazing singer song writer beyond his own time to me. He's a powerful story teller in each lyrics vocals and music. God Bless you Phil Collins for sharing your life n love in the music industry with us the fans🥀☝️🥀👣🥀
I started fairly late as a Genesis fan and this was the album that started my interest. This being my favourite track of all. That alluring temptress who cannot be escaped from..well what a fantasy! I'm still waiting for her to turn up!
The instrumental fade out at the end of the story has always been one of my favorite all-time jams!!! I catch myself playing every air instrument especially that piano lick from Banks!
Tony on The Grand, throughout the song, but during the Outro is just beyond great. I played piano as a kid and I keep thinking about buying a keyboard and learning the piano parts...mastering it like Tony. Walter Mitty!!!
Very good album and I especially this song. Voice magical, mesmering, bewitching... Genesis and Phil are THE BEST. The Perfection. Thank you so much for all you do. Take care of yourself. From Paris, thanks. Respect Eternal.
Love the story this song tells. All in a mouses night is a great story too, but this tale is one that is easily, maybe too much so, that many of us can identify with. Come with me, I need You, I fear the dark and I live all alone ......
This song is even better live. Phil got really into it with the audience during the Duke tour. "When I overact a lot , I'm playing the villains part!" 😄
When I bought this album on release, l don't think I appreciated how good it was. It has taken a long time to grow on me, 🙄 love the album now, and this is one of the best tracks.
I got to hear an advance copy of this on Stone Trek with Greg Stone. That man turned me on to so much good music and this album is one of my favorites.
Absolute beautiful Melody! And the tempo changes are through the roof! Just one of those songs that you never stop hitting replay on! Thank you again, Phil, Tony and Mike!
Love the album and song. Regarding the spinning record visual. I think it should be called "What it would look like if the record and light source held still, while the camera and album cover rotated synchronously." Kind of like the making-of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" video, where the floor actually holds still but the camera is locked to the entire "room" which is moved around by a large crew outside.
This is by far one of the best songs from Genesis. As usual very nice keyboard playing and tones from Tony and great drumming from Phil. Some of Phil's best vocal work for sure and that section with distorted guitar from Mike is so good.
Covering a reasonable amount there, yet you didn’t notice the bass playing from Rutherford, certainly the most attention grabbing aspect from the individual musicians
@@davidwylde8426 Yes, and Mike's bass playing and overall guitar playing. The arpeggios (or at least that's what I think I'm hearing) are a nice addition
@@therandomshowthing8413 yeah that’s fine. I was just surprised that you hadn’t referenced the bass playing as it’s one of those tracks that demonstrates that outside the jazz schooled soloists/improvisers, Mike was, for me, as good as it gets. Fantastic, underrated bass player.
@@andygilbert1877 I agree. I’m a bass player myself and those are some seriously nimble runs he’s playing. Add Phil into the mix and the rhythm section is generating a lot of energy under all those ethereal vocals and piano touches on the outro.
My theory is that the narrator in this story is a former friend of the "hero," perhaps a fellow mercenary, who has become bitter of the fact that his friend left him behind to take up a family life. So now he's going around bad-mouthing the woman who stole him away.
I just listened to A Venture for the first time.. But...the fade out is nothing compared to Lady Lies....just listen to Tony on the Grand Piano....incredible.
💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧 Am I hearing this correctly?- I keep hearing the sound of a single drop of water 💧 that I’ve never heard in the forty years since owning this album. 🤷🏼♀️
It's not on the album.The person who uploaded the album added that on every song of it, and it's a shame. It's the same sound thanthe receiving message alert on Skype...
Ich weiß noch wie heute, wie ich mir von meinem wenigen Geld das ich damals als Auszubildender verdient habe (193 Mark = 95 EUR) das Vinyl Teil gekauft hatte. UND YESSSSS!!!!! Gute Investition 🤩
I feel like this album doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's genius.
Definitely my favourite of the Collins, Rutherford, and Banks era
@@IMajst3RI yeah absolutely but i think Duke is a good competitor
I agree it's a great Genesis prog record and I couldn't care less that there's one 3 minute pop song that saved the band. ATTWT would be better if had been produced as nicely as Wind And Wuthering and Trick Of The Tail but can't have everything I suppose.
Indeed. It deserves much more appreciation! Great album!
This is my all time favourite rock album. Unbelievable musical inspiration.
Mike is criminally underrated here! Amazing bass lines! Oh my god! How talented he is!!!!!
I got to see Mike & the Mechanics when he toured. Great concert!!
The Lady Lies - Bass (Mike Rutherford) Drums (Phil Collins) Synths/Pianos (Tony Banks). After 46 years I am still mesmerized by this song. Amazing work, guys!
Best track on the album for me, and I can’t believe no one has mentioned…IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BASS!! absolutely stunning playing from Mike, to my mind it’s what makes the track.
Definitely some superb bass work. Also some amazing drumming/ cymbals from 0:51 to 1:10.

We are so lucky to have had such brilliant music in the 60's and 70's
And British

Sad but true.....BUT we do have their recordings...until we die.
@@krismurphy7711 it will be listened to in 3200
Magnificent.

Phil and his drums on fire.
he was always a VERY high energy man.
The bass in this piece wooooow special to the end ✨✨✨
Mike ripping it. LOVE the Fadeout
" for who can escape what he desires' Man that gives me goosebumps. Lady Lies fuckin' awesome tune.
Mannn..seems like.many.women..that got mevin trouble...
I may lie from time to time, but then, I'm no lady!😁
@@EleanorPeterson true but make no.mistake ..women rules
The BASS...amazing!
One of Genesis best prog rock songs in their later years.
The ending is an amazing cacaphony of sound, especially Mike and Collins' playing...
AND Tony's piano ....the best couple of minutes in their history.
I love Genesis, and have for decades, but I ignored this album over the years.
Of course' I'm familiar with Follow You, Burning Rope, and Motherload.
I've just discovered this tune, and it's like a new Genesis song to me.
Wow, what a gem!
There is a HUGE difference in meaning between motherlode and motherload 🤣
The lyrics to this great song:
The man steps out in the moonlight
At the sound of a scream from below.
He thinks he is a warrior
So he picks up his sword and goes.
From the mouth of the monster
He rescues the maiden fair.
But we know she's a demon
Come to lure him to demon's lair.
Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."
And though his body bids him
To enter in with her
There was something in her manner
That his mind could not ignore.
Also it is whispered
In the kingdom far and wide
To beware a little cottage
In the forest in a glade.
For who knows what magic takes place in his world?
So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like.
Come to my garden
Taste the fruits and the spices of love.
You can't resist me
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."
"So glad you could make it
We had everything arranged.
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."
Some men never listen
And others never learn
But why this man did as he did
Only he will ever know.
He knew he was walking
Into a waiting trap
Neatly set up for him
With a bait so richly wrapped.
So he went inside there to take on what he found
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."

Legend of a song, espically the beat, and lyrics.
Dem stimme ich zu 100 % zu 😉
My favorite song by Genesis.
I wish the end of this song would go on for an hour. It is THE BEST of them JAMMING!!!
The best Song of this album
Banks is genius
Oh yes he is - Tony has created so many rich textures and keyboard arrangements - rich sonic treasures
Totalmente de acuerdo!!! ademas, creo que esta letra fue escrita por él....
I heard this album once and never again. Randomly found this gem of a song and I have no clue how I overlooked it
Mike futherford is an underated guitarist and bassist lovee flp 777
Just keep coming back to this. superb track, one of the very finest, imho
🥀Amazing Song he's such an amazing singer song writer beyond his own time to me. He's a powerful story teller in each lyrics vocals and music. God Bless you Phil Collins for sharing your life n love in the music industry with us the fans🥀☝️🥀👣🥀
Couldnt agree more. Brilliant musicaly and lyricaly. Best track on the album. Love how phil collins turns a great song into a personal story.
Written by Tony Banks.
Not Phil.
Genesis for life
Genesis FOREVER!!!!
Genesis Forever!!!!!!!
this was when genesis could still write an irresistible chorus
This is gold and pure ultimate, Genesis can sing anything and they are very wonderful. 😁😁😁⭐⭐⭐💿💿💿
Perfection, one of the best song from this album
Tony Banks !!
This was my first genesis album some great songs and underrated songs this song also my favourite on the album
The same
I started fairly late as a Genesis fan and this was the album that started my interest. This being my favourite track of all. That alluring temptress who cannot be escaped from..well what a fantasy! I'm still waiting for her to turn up!
This song ranks within top 3 on this album.
This is such a great song. Mystical and magic....Just beautiful and powerful......
The best progressive band ever..~❤🧑🦽
YES.....and I don't mean YES....they suck in comparison....same for Floyd...and all the rest. There is something COMPLETE about Genesis.
Thematically, this is Genesis Hotel California.
Love this album. Plenty of art.
The instrumental fade out at the end of the story has always been one of my favorite all-time jams!!! I catch myself playing every air instrument especially that piano lick from Banks!
AMEN....EVERY TIME!!
Tony on The Grand, throughout the song, but during the Outro is just beyond great. I played piano as a kid and I keep thinking about buying a keyboard and learning the piano parts...mastering it like Tony. Walter Mitty!!!
This is such a banging track. Everyone is on fire here.
FINALLY....on the fade out.... Phil sings...... "YOUuuuuu CAN'T RESIST MEeeeeee..........."
I have always thought that is what he sings in the outro.
and the Iconic Classic tune everyone one should hear... Stay With Me. Beautiful...
This track was SO incredible when played live. Lyceum 1980!!
The whole show is amazing.
That Lyceum gig has to be one of the all time great concerts.
@James Hernandez James, you are a terrific human being. It’s been so long!
@James Hernandez I’m doing good James! How have you been?
Never heard this track; omg, what have I missed all those years!
Very good album and I especially this song. Voice magical, mesmering, bewitching... Genesis and Phil are THE BEST. The Perfection. Thank you so much for all you do. Take care of yourself. From Paris, thanks. Respect Eternal.
Surreal bass-work.
Who can escape what he desires? So from Italy I'll fly to London.
See you there Miz Monica, ragazza mia 😎
For me this song so memorable ❤
Man this song grows on you
Love the story this song tells. All in a mouses night is a great story too, but this tale is one that is easily, maybe too much so, that many of us can identify with. Come with me, I need You, I fear the dark and I live all alone ......
Love the lyrics on W&W....TOTT...and TTWT
Love the bass on this, brilliant track, much prefer their earlier stuff but the odd gem was released after that time, this being one.
Mike and Phil, the best rhythm base in prog.
Real long time favourite 🙂 wonderful vocals flowing keys and a superb bass line ❤️❤️
This song is even better live. Phil got really into it with the audience during the Duke tour. "When I overact a lot , I'm playing the villains part!" 😄
Yep. Pure panto:
"Oh, no it isn't!"
"Ohhhh, yes it is!"😁
The Lady Lies in concert was a lot of fun…the last of the “epic tale” songs by Genesis before the arrival of the 80s…lovely stuff!
they had to change with the times man. or else they would have faded away with A LOT of the rest
This album is soooo good. if you think its shit. You have more to learn about music.....
Everyone knows "follow you follow me" but the rest of this album is quite overlooked and obscure always has been. One of their best with Phil
When I bought this album on release, l don't think I appreciated how good it was. It has taken a long time to grow on me, 🙄 love the album now, and this is one of the best tracks.
Great bass line!!!
Fantastic

Questo brano ora fa parte del mio DNA
My favorite Genesis song
Genesis 4ever!!!🎧🎼🎼🎶🎶
My theory is that the narrator in this story is a former friend of the "hero," perhaps a fellow mercenary, who has become bitter of the fact that his friend left him behind to take up a family life. So now he's going around bad-mouthing the woman who stole him away.
In a sense it's the only "true" Genesis album. Before they were the Peter Gabriel band, after, the Phil Collins band. 🙂
This fade out and Yes's fade out on "A Venture" are my all time favs.
Genesis and Yes are my two favorite prog rock bands.
I just listened to A Venture for the first time.. But...the fade out is nothing compared to Lady Lies....just listen to Tony on the Grand Piano....incredible.
