Gentle Giantformed out of the blues based group Simon Dupree & The Big Sound, which featured the multi-instrumental Shulman brothers Derek, Ray, and Phil. They joined with guitarist Gary Green, keyboard player Kerry Minnear, and a series of drummers (John Weathers most consistently) to play music beyond the scope of ordinary rock, though with still a hint of blues in Green's guitar. Minnear's elaborate arrangements featured elements of both medieval polyphony and twentieth century composition. In particular, the complex four-part vocal arrangements give the band its unusual character, with each part functioning independently rather than forming simple harmonies. The instrumental parts were just as complex, often featuring interlocking parts often in odd meters, all backed by a solid drum pattern.

No Stranger Lyrics
Gentle Giant
No stranger, No danger in your home
It's walking, It's talking on it's own
No stranger, No danger in your home
It's walking, It's talking on it's own
One staring eye with no sight or feature
It only winks, when there's time to think
It tells you nothing, but still your teacher
And still you take it, It makes you hate it,
Takes care that you're always there
No stranger, No danger in your home
It's walking, It's talking on it's own
No stranger, No danger in your home
It's walking, It's talking on it's own
It makes you safe moving with protection
A mind for you trying very hard
And still you cant make the disconnection
Does all it's told to,tells what it wants to,
Says all that you have to know
No stranger, No danger in your home
It's walking, It's talking on it's own
No stranger, No danger in your home
It's walking, It's talking on it's own
