Peter Hammill es una de las más singulares e influyentes voces en el genero progresivo. Fue la figura clave en la banda Van der Graaf Generator, que formo junto con compañeros en 1967 en la Universidad de Manchester.
Su obsesión por el amor, la fe, el tiempo, el espacio y la existencia son las piedras angulares de su trabajo tanto con VDGG como en sus discos de solista. Hammill, Banton, Evans, Jackson fue la alineacion encargada de grabar las joyas "The Silent Corner And The Empty Stage", "Fool´s Mate" y "Godbluff".

Shingle song / Peter Hammill
Here's another enjoyable sad song. Play all the F#m and Bm chords on the first verse without letting the higher (6th) string sound. The other verses - you shouldn't give a damn, and I didn't check whether Hammill did at all. The E and Esus4 chords are not played on the 0 position (the end of the neck) but in the way I show (I hope). You can ignore it if it makes you busy and just play it on the more comfortable position. Don't forget to sing it in a VERY low bass voice...
The lyrics were typed by somebody to cs.uwp.edu. I don't know who sould get the credit for that, but he deserves it, anyhow...

F#mBm You can see in the last light that's graced as dawn BmF#m that there's nothing in my heart but pain F#mBm as I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone BmF#m all the elements rage to explain F#mEEsus4EF#m that I should really be on my way; F#m but there is something EF#m which ensures I must stay.
Beneath the roar of the seething surf, beneath the caterwaul of scattered call wind thoughts and gestures unspoken, unheard-- and now the dance of rapture begins as the waves rush along across the beach: like you, like your love forever out of reach.
[Instrumental Verse: - You'll have to figure out the rhythm yourself...]

Look at the sky, but it's empty now; look at the sea, it holds nothing but despair. I raise my eyes, but my head stays bower... I look to my side, but you're not there. And I can't get you out of my mind, no, no, no, no, I just can't get you from my mind.
Have fun and try not to sink down when playing this one.
