Duchess (Genesis song)

"Duchess" is a song by the English rock band Genesis, appearing as the second track on their 1980 album, Duke.

At the start of her career, she dreams of singing to large crowds, but cares more about her music than the prospect of fame.

As her success increases, her dream comes true and she becomes a superstar, adored by ecstatic audiences.

Unable to stay in spotlight, she chooses to end her music career and fondly remembers her former superstardom.

The video for the song shows Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford playing at various points around the Liverpool Empire Theatre.
