I am so glad they included this song on the "Platinum Collection," otherwise I may have never experienced it. Absolutely beautiful, underrated song. It's right up there with Ripples in my opinion as some of the most beautiful music anyone has ever made.

Meine Lieblingspassage......



[goldenthug9]

Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,

Make the most of all you still have coming to you, [or]

Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,

Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees

Let me live again, let life come find me wanting.

Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.

Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,

Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again.

@FeilxNigh7 Slightly too much information there fella....... i agree with the beautiful bit though!

Well I still wonder how it was all possible: this kind of music being mainstream. Too good to be true. At least we will always have these treasures. I love almost all 70s Genesis, but these gorgeous "wall of sound choruses" just blow me a away! A similar song is "Evidence of Autumn" it is on the old vinyl edition of "Three Sides Live" and on the second Archive Disc box set.

Unfortunately Genesis had to chance their sound for the 80s - like all 70s acts (many didn't make it back then)......

Sounds like afterglow but more complex and less repetetive
