Genesis, _Seconds Out_ /live – bpm radar scans, mean free path, video and tempo map analysis: opening song, 1976

I was never sure what a ‘squonk’ actually was/ It does start with a heavy downbeat at ~90 bpm with an E minor seventh chord on top of an A drone, to the next measure where the E-7 gave way to a simple A major.

That was enough to get me hooked on Genesis – all Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Chester Thompson and Steve Hackett.
I’m still have no idea what the lyrics mean – but the opening, ” LIKE father like *Son*!” was the end of top 40 radio for me.
For some reason, the character portrayed by Jack Wagner called Nick Marone on the World most watched program in the entire world, and last week won the Emmy® Award as the Best Drama on daytime television: The Bold and The Beautiful®.

NIck has just found out…well, some very strange and harsh news, I do not want to give away the plot though – in England the show is very popular but running two a days is still a year behind us, so I will not give away why Marone embodies the boldness and enthusiasm that is real and strong and optimistic.

Phil Collins’s first major single was ”Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now).”

According to the people’s encyclopedia, wikipedia, ” The song was the main theme for the 1984 film of the same name, and first appeared on its soundtrack. It is a ballad in which its protagonist implores his/her ex-lover to “take a look at me now,” knowing that reconciliation is “against all odds” but worth a try. It has been covered by several artists.”
