Mike Reid, All American Football player at Penn State and winner of the Outland Trophy as the best defensive player in the US, wrote this beautiful song.
Phil seems stoned! ("circling round the ethos" doesn't help to dispel that thought!) Maybe it was the meds or jet-lag, but he ain't right during this interview!
That is a great song! There are songs out there...few and far between compared to 15, 20 years ago (in my opinion) where you simply saw a video..and it immediately strikes you as mind-blowing, pure genius. He's talking about Hornsby, It makes me think of "End of the Innocence" by Henley. When I first heard that...wow! Always been a big fan of Phil's solo albums / Genesis. "Abacab" comes to mind, One solo song by Phil always hit me as amazing. 2nd solo album "If Leaving Me Is Easy" - GREAT song!
Wow! I remember hearing it for the first time. Had to stop all functioning and just take it in. Geeze how deeply precise that one went. Thanks Mr. Phil for your thoughts.
This is what makes an artist like this so superior at what he does...there's a lifetime's work of brilliant lyrics and music that he's done, and yet he's not above acknowledging other great work. The way he feels about Bonnie Raitt's song is the same way I feel about his "In The Air Tonight"...one play is never enough. He is GREAT!!!

Did he write "I can't make you love me?"

@jwgreek8606 no - he was discussing how much he loves the song.
