Turn It On Again - A Genesis Forum

I quite enjoy this song. It definitely has a VERY 90's soft rock vibe, especially with that DX electric piano sound in there...but I actually kind of like that! Thought provoking lyrics; perhaps his most for this album so far. I enjoy the "I Grieve-like" percussion programming, despite the fact that it kind of just...meanders along through the song and doesn't really build. For this reason, I don't quite agree with the comparison to Live and Let Live, at least not from a musical POV. Cos that…

[…] That is not at all an answer to my question. You have written similar stuff before about the previous tracks and have not yet explained what you mean 🤷🏼‍♂️ So basically I assume you don’t like his new music. Which is okay.

Lovely track, I don't know now where it will stand in Peter's songbook but why worry now about this? I simply enjoy it. It's amazing how fresh his voice still sounds.

The same type of rhythmic structure as the other songs on O/I

[…] Compared to what?
