An honest explanation of the song.
Any chance PG tours again? I would love to see him in person and ride his bike around the the stage!
He’s touring this year.
“I Don’t Care Anymore” on his next solo album was basically the sequel.
The reason it is so great is that you can feel the raw emotion and hurt.
I would say the cover of ‘hurt’ by Jonny cash is the same

That’s probably why he doesn’t like some of his music. He keeps having to sing his pain.
Tony Bennett was asked if he ever gotbtired of singing his music and he said that he loves singing his most famous songs, because he’s grateful for hisvsongs and how they made him more than a third rate lounge singer.
“I don’t care anymore” is a much better song to me
Maybe he meant Sussudio was a stone around his neck.
I recorded that episode. Still have the vhs.
Big fan of Genesis. Post Gabriel, not so much.
As a fan also of the Gabriel-era, heck I even think Trespass is one of their best albums, I love A Trick of The Tail, “Ripples” is probably my favorite Genesis song of all. I preferred Phil’s softer vocals to his “screaming” vocals he did later on.
I had never really listened to the words, but I liked the beat.
It was on a jukebox in an out of the way lodge-café in the foothills.
I played it with a couple other songs.
I could then clearly discern the lyrics and I was kind of creeping-out, people were repeatedly glancing at me.
I got up, paid the waitress in silence, and felt wtf for the rest of the day.
I returned to that location about fifteen years later.
I guess they felt obliged to play it for me just as I was starting to enjoy my coffee.
“Firth of Fifth” is a much better tune.
Agreed. TLLDOB is probably my favorite.
Phil’s drumming on “Riding the Scree” is phenomenal.
This song was around just as my first (and last) marriage was disintegrating.
That drum rift was something that always made me play along, sometimes very forcefully.
Still do. I have a fond place in my heart for this song. Sad to hear that Phil doesn't much like it.
Little known meaning is In the Air Tonight was written after Nancy Pelosi passed gas at a party Collins attended.😁
