The Boney 500: Song #6

6. RIPPLES-GENESIS (1976)
Album: A Trick Of The Tail
Absolutely stunning track from the first album to feature Phil Collins rather than Peter Gabriel on lead vocals. The song is about beauty, and
the inevitable fading of physical beauty. However, the beauty of this song will never fade for me. The acoustic guitars are so lovely, and the
classically influenced middle section also shines. But above all, the elegantly beautiful chorus, including the little piano flourishes in the
closing minutes, makes this one of my all-time favorites.
