very nice production but was never much on the choral type backup singing

just a minor note (i'm a big old, old Genesis fan and like some of their solo ventures): the lead singer is Paul Carrack not Mike Rutherford - Mike co-wrote the tune with another writer who had also lost his dad recently....Mike plays bass

btw, Carrack also did some solid live vocals on Hey You (the David Gilmour part) for The Wall- live in Berlin, Roger Waters production...a quality video

...i believe Mike and the Mechanics first release was Silent Running...Rutherford used Carrack on vocals for that one also
