LOL, I have food, he's welcome to come over here!

After all the records Genesis sold, I doubt he was either "hungry" or "poor". "Tortured" maybe...

Humdum is one beautiful song that hardly gets and recognition.

Gabriel's one of the most under estimated Rockers in history! His archive of great Music throughout the years speak for it's self!! He's up there with the best of them!

Out of woman come the man...

@twtomwood123 yeah, he just lost it on that musical level, it´s ok, -- but his early stuff was really brillant, it was not catchy at first sight, but it was very personal, very daring and very cool

[twtomwood123]

@MoveOverCasanova The whole "Up" album was pretty dark in fairness. And his cover of Arcade Fire's "My Body Is A Cage" is very dark. But I do agree with you....I love his earlier stuff.

@neoculm No se didn't - he gave her credit, but she later denied having anything to do with this song.

I can hardly hear what he is saying, because of the quality of the sound but otherwise it’s a interesting old piece of the early days, thanks for uploading ;-)

@degree7 In the U.S. market was called security.

[the9thplague1]

i caught his show on the shock the monkey tour (83) & humdrum was 1 of the best songs..

@degree7 In the U.S. the record label thought having a FOURTH PG self-titled album was rather confusing. Geffen gave it that name, I believe.
