Anthony Edwin "Ant" Phillips (b. 23 December 1951, Chiswick, west London) is an English multi instrumentalist, first known as a founding member of the band Genesis. He played guitar and sang backing vocals until leaving in 1970, following the recording of their second album, Trespass. He left due to suffering from stage fright, after being told by his doctor that the best thing would be to leave the band. He is known for his twelve string guitar work, and his influence can be heard throughout Genesis's early output. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Seven long years have gone by,
Scattered on the wind,
Fortunes made and squandered,
Ardour's beacon growing dim.
 
Seven long years have now past
Neither glimpse nor word
Of the jewel that vanished
Though the case lay undisturbed.
 
Seven long years have I spent
Trying to forget,
But no man can banish
Heaven he has sought and met.
 
Through the trials and the tears
Still I cannot learn,
Ever hopeless dreaming
Perhaps some day you will return.
