A little ripetitive, but a chord too far that only TB can do It.

I read from MR's autobiography that all songs from FGTR are credited to everyone, so the royalties are divided by four.

Good melody and chords.
Lyrics are weaks, except for the chorus.
This is the airplay in Italy.
Glad to note that someone remembered Ray Wilson!
Feelings of guilt or just a reporting?

The harmonies are good, a melody is missing.
A new album of Tony Banks?
I read the interview with TB in the Italian magazine Dusk and this year there won't be a new album.

Beatiful lyrics and PG voice.
It needs a best arrangement.
Ant Band, see if You can do something!
Finally the lyrics!
Remember me Fly On A Windshield !?
The fact that we heard the preview a month ago took away the surprise effect.
The only thing I don't like is that an upbeat song should always have a fast tempo and not slow and fast.

I thought it was Mr Mister's band (Broken Wings).
A new album of Tony Banks?
For me NSOM is the best guitar solo played by MR.
Dalida - Nel 2023.
Dalida sings “In 2023“. Italian version of a visionary piece on the future of humanity, a huge international success in 1968 by the USA duo Zager & Evans.
Happy New Year.
I bet a coffee that most lyrics are sounds without words.
An update of Genesis W&W.
The King's Christmas Broadcast 2022.
Merry Christmas, without Chance/Community Chest Monopoly Cards.
Display MoreDo you mean songs that are derivative of other songs, not as original? Certainly some songs I have listed are not musically unique.
This Boy uses a fairly standard progression and 12/8 feel, but then many great songs from this era used the same chord progressions again and again. What distinguishes a song for me is more the emotion and feel and I think This Boy has that in spades, particularly John's singing in the bridge.
So Sad About Us uses a very similar chord progression and, at least to me, seems a bit derivative of The Byrds, but I still find the melody winning and Keith Moon's drumming propels it to a higher level.
I don't find Erotic City sounds like much else other than Prince. It is sort of similar to other Prince songs from the era, but I still find its feel different enough to be worth it to me.
Ok, I got it!
Beatles This Boy.
Pink Floyd Fat Old Sun
Who So Sad About Us
Prince Erotic City
Moody Blues Lost in A Lost World
For me a weak song is a song too similar to another, for example the beat music.
