1. Genesis formed in 1967 in Go… Read Full Bio ↴There are three bands named Genesis.
1. Genesis formed in 1967 in Godalming, Surrey (United Kingdom) and was one of the most popular progressive rock bands in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. During the 1970s, Peter Gabriel was the lead singer until his departure, when drummer Phil Collins stepped up to the mic and replaced him.
Starting as an amalgam of two bands formed by schoolboys attending Charterhouse School in Godalming, England, the original lineup consisted of Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Chris Stewart, though Stewart was soon replaced as drummer by John Silver and then John Mayhew. By the end of 1970, Phillips and Mayhew had left the band, with Collins joining as drummer, and by early 1971, guitarist Steve Hackett had filled the gap left by Phillips. The lineup of Gabriel, Banks, Hackett, Rutherford, and Collins remained in place until Gabriel's departure in 1975.
During the period of 1970-1975, the band produced some of the most widely-acclaimed albums of the progressive rock era, including "Nursery Cryme", "Foxtrot" (featuring the side-long epic "Supper's Ready") and the seminal album "Selling England by the Pound", which generated Genesis' first foray into the charts with "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)". This lineup culminated with the band's magnum opus "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" in 1974. Following the tour promoting the album, frontman Peter Gabriel left the group in mid 1975.
Genesis decided to continue on as a four-piece, producing two albums, "A Trick of the Tail" and "Wind & Wuthering", which found the band proving to themselves and to the world that they could move on after Gabriel's departure. Collins stepped up to fill the role of lead vocalist after countless auditions for a new singer proved fruitless by the completion of recording for "A Trick of the Tail". Hackett quietly departed after the "Wind & Wuthering" tour in 1977, feeling that his creative input for the band was being repressed.
In 1978, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford contributed music to a British movie called "The Shout" based on a short story by Robert Graves, directed by Jerzy Skomilowski and produced by Jeremy Thomas. (More credits and info here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078259/combined)
Genesis then became a trio which began to move away from the dying embers of progressive rock. They established themselves as a more commercially-friendly outfit with the release of their 1978 album "...And Then There Were Three...", finding their first US hit with the single "Follow You Follow Me".
Banks, Rutherford, and Collins became more adept at writing radio-friendly songs in the 1980s. This reached a peak with the release of 1986's "Invisible Touch", in which more than half of the album's eight songs made it to the singles chart, including the title track, "Land of Confusion" and "In Too Deep". All three band members produced solo albums during Genesis' downtime in the 80s and 90s - most notably Collins' increasingly successful solo work, and Rutherford's sideline group "Mike and the Mechanics" which found moderate success - with evolving styles reflected both when going solo and when recording together as Genesis.
Collins left the group in 1996, and was replaced vocally by Ray Wilson, the former lead singer of Scottish band "Stiltskin". Israeli born drummer Nir Zidkyahu and "Spock's Beard" drummer Nick D'Virgilio stepped in to fill the drumming role. Their 1997 album "Calling All Stations" was unable to find worldwide success, and despite scoring a minor U.K. hit with "Congo", the group slowly faded out of public consciousness. In 1998, after the "Calling All Stations" tour (the US leg of which was cut short due to poor album sales), Wilson was released from the band, and Zidkyahu and D'Virgilio, having never been "official" band members, went their separate ways. The band, now down to only Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, took a break from performing and recording.
In 1999 Banks, Rutherford, Collins, Gabriel, and Hackett collaborated to re-record "The Carpet Crawlers" for greatest hits compilation "Turn It on Again: The Hits".
During the latter part of 2005, rumors spread that the band would reform again in its most famous five-man configuration. Genesis management stated that there were no current plans at that time, and that nothing would change in the following twelve months. Phil Collins then said in a radio interview in April 2006 that the classic Genesis line-up was considering a new live-staging of "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", but it was not to be. On 7th November 2006, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford announced they would be doing a twenty-date tour of Europe in the summer of 2007, with a North American tour to follow.
A Live DVD of the final European concert in Rome, where the band performed free for 500,000 fans, was released May 26th 2008: "When In Rome - Live 2007".
In April of 2011, Phil Collins, after completing a reunion tour with Genesis, said in a newspaper interview that he has no plans to tour or make another album, effectively retiring after over 40 years in the music business.

2. In 1967-8, there was an American band that was also named Genesis. It was a psychedelic rock group based in Los Angeles which released one album In the Beginning in 1968. The name conflict was known to the record label of UK Genesis, which is why their debut album From Genesis to Revelation coyly omitted the band's name except in the album title. While both bands suffered poor sales for their debuts, the US band broke up in late 1968 not long after one of their members was drafted into the army. This more or less ended any significant confusion except in situations like Last.fm or lazy Googling.
3. A Colombian group called GĆ©nesis also exists. If you are scrobbling songs by that group and have ended up on this page, please fix your tags to GĆ©nesis with the first "e" accented.

Genesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, you'd say night
Tell it's black when I know that it's white
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could leave but I won't go
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turning me on, turning me off
Making me feel like I want too much
Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
Running around, staying out all night
Taking it all instead of taking one bite
Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, just a shame, that's all
Truth is I love you
More than I wanted to
There's no point in trying to pretend
There's been no-one who
Makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together til the end
I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, just a shame, that's all
Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
S'always the same, just a shame, that's all
I could say day, you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all
In the verses of "That's All," the singer expresses his frustration with his inability to connect with his partner. He initially thought things between them were going well, only to discover that he was mistaken when he believed he was right. He laments the fact that no matter what he says or does, it always seems to be the same - an unfortunate situation. Though he's considered leaving due to the strife and pain, he can't feel anything from his head to his toes. It's clear that despite his difficulties, he loves his significant other deeply and feels that they understand him like no one else does. Despite his feelings, he continues to feel that their ongoing struggle is "just a shame."
The song's chorus consists of a repeating refrain: "S'always the same, just a shame, that's all." This phrase emphasizes the song's theme of being unable to shake the nagging feeling that things are not quite right, no matter what one does. It emphasizes the song's somber tone and the singer's feelings of resignation about the situation.
Line by Line Meaning
Just as I thought it was going alright
I believed things were going smoothly
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
My assumptions were incorrect
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
This recurring problem is disappointing
I could say day, you'd say night
We have opposite opinions
Tell it's black when I know that it's white
You try to convince me of something that I know isn't true
I could leave but I won't go
I have the option to leave, but I won't take it
Though my heart might tell me so
My emotions may suggest leaving
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
I can't sense anything physically or emotionally
So why does it always seem to be
Why do we constantly face this issue
Me looking at you, you looking at me
We're both involved in this problem
Turning me on, turning me off
Your actions evoke varying emotions in me
Making me feel like I want too much
I often feel unfulfilled with our dynamic
Living with you's just putting me through it all of the time
Our living situation causes me constant stress
Running around, staying out all night
You engage in behavior that makes me uneasy
Taking it all instead of taking one bite
You're greedy and don't compromise
Truth is I love you
I truly love you
More than I wanted to
I love you more than expected
There's no point in trying to pretend
There's no reason to act fake
There's been no-one who
No one else has made me feel the same
Makes me feel like you do
You make me feel a certain way
Say we'll be together til the end
Promise me we'll stay together forever
S'always the same, just a shame, that's all
The problem remains repetitive and regretful
That's all
That's the extent of the situation

It would have been an amazing song for the GTA 6 trailer too. I guess rockstar is just gonna surprise us someday.
@carsoncrews
Didn't expect to see you here hello
@lancecorporalrookie8321
Love your content, also, this whole gta 6 fiasco was the most down bad if u r here lol, ngl, even i found myself clicking on clickbait bcuz i want to see the trailerš
@jmwFILMS
We just want answers so bad lol. I wont be surprised though if the trailer doesn't come out until 2024/5.
@lancecorporalrookie8321
@@jmwFILMS yea, tho this might be me coping hard with hopium, but i will say if it doesnt happen, then it doesnt happen, but rn the halloween event is a bit strange, especially with them celebrating day of the dead, im hispanic and i found it a bit strange that day of the dead is ending nov 1, despite it being a 2 day event, nov1-2, i was born on nov2, but on nov 2, the 1st gtav trailer came out, conviently, its a thursday, a week b4 the investor call; to side track a bit, after the 26th, i ended up watching dark space videos, and in a part of the video, they showed the time it took for rockstar to make their games, gta4 took 3.5 yrs, gta5 took 3 yrs, rdr2 says it took 8 but i reckon it most likely took 5-6yr with a 2-3yr planning process, and we can assume it prolly took those other games around 5 years, the footage of 6 was b4 2020, what if development of the game started around 2017? If they were to release 6 next year of late 24 to early 25, it would be around 6 years of development, they did put out a game like rdr2. Another thing to note, y would rockstar release a trailer or announcement on a day everyone is expecting one, what if the days that everyone was expecting something was right, but the dates were wrong? What if they do something on nov2 thurs day, and showcase something on nov 7, conviently a tuesday, literally a day b4 T2s call? Just a thoery of mine but im gonna go with 50% hopium and 50% theyre not gonna do anything, then again, if nothing doesnt happen, we could expect a trailer early next year of 2024
