By far my favourite from the Hackett-era, possibly my favourite Genesis song of all time. Option 1 for sure.

Awesome song - a masterpiece IMHO.
I also like Hackett's version from Genesis Revisited II. |

Fantastic song but not a masterpiece. Probably top 30.

I'm with the flow of the poll. Somewhat of a sing-a-long, in'nent it. Great bridge, though.

A masterpiece. Bank's keyboard work is so understated yet nothing quite as climactic as that ever.

My opinion falls closer to #3, but I agree; I've got half a dozen tracks on that album that I prefer. Not great, but certainly not bad either. |

Somewhere between option 2 and 3 for me. But i'll vote the 2nd, because as others have said the middle section is quite good.

I'll go along with the masses on this one. A syrupy sweet popish song. No where near masterpiece level. Album filler IMHO.

It's nice, I guess, but nowhere near my favourite Genesis songs.

Poppish perhaps. Syrupy sweet and an album filler no. Instrumental in promoting the idea that Collins was the best possible choice to replace the Gabe-meister. And like someone hinted at earlier, Banks was great on it. Edited by Rednight - June 01 2015 at 23:26 |

There's nothing popish about that exquisite Hackett-Banks interplay---that is pure prog.

Masterpiece - from another classic album.
I don't find that lyrics too sweet on this one at all - I interpret the subject matter as growing old and is, to my ears, quite poignant: "That it's the last time you'll look like today"

It is about old age and losing your beauty----it is poignant----and a sad song--and Hackett's guitar does cry
