I want to keep this thread alive because somehow nearly 20 years after its creation, it has captured that others have experienced the same emotional impact I just experienced on the subway ride to work. I have always loved this song but feel like I didn't fully listen to it until today; I've always listened to music over words. In this case, the last four lines of lyric along with the grand chord progression almost brought me to tears on the train as I read along (an odd site to be sure). Who would've known something so powerful was hiding on a pop album. Only with Genesis, of course.
In the Abacab thread, I called Me and Sarah Jane one of Genesis' most
overrated songs. I typically see people crowing about it, putting it on
their top X songs list, calling it the best song Genesis has done since Y,
blah blah blah. Me, I don't see it. I think it's an ok song. I
certainly prefer other songs on Abacab to it.
But the matter dropped. I want someone to take me to task over this,
dammit! With so many people saying it's so great, tell me why. Tell me
I'm missing something. You're gonna let me get away with saying it's
overrated?
