Accepting all I?ve done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there?s nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
I will hear your silent call
I will touch this tender wall
Til I know I?m home again
Ooh

In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes

Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

In your eyes
In your eyes

Love, I don?t like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes) to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

Accepting all I?ve done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there?s nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh it?s in your eyes

In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

I want to stand and stare again
Oh, it?s in your eyes.

:music:How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now :music:

it is soooo hard to choose between the two.

gabriel had the 'weirdness' edge that true die hard fans... like myself... started listening to them back in the early days. Collins is a lot different and WAS a musical genius when he acted as himself and before he got all commericialized.

Duke, Abacab, were AWESOME and genesis started going downhill from there. Once they got to the I CANT DANCE phase, they were unbearble. Likewise... Collins first two solo albums were pure genius... downhill from there.

As for Gabriel... he was soooo flipping weird with Genesis, but absoutely FANTASTIC in his solo career and his stuff is so different, it is almost hard to tell they are the same person.

I have to agree, except for the part about Collins' solo work. I've been a big Genesis fan since the late '70s, and I think they really hit the wall after ABACAB, like the commercial success ruined them.

Considered the quality of Gabriels' solo material, as well as his contributions to Genesis, he gets my vote.

Bose outsells almost all other speakers in the market... for a reason? 😕

No where near the same thing!!! Most people who buy Bose are just buying because they've heard the name before. With them it's all about the marketing. With Phil it's all about the music.

i liked Collins' first solo album. i thought it was pure genius. i also did not mind his second solo. it was different for the times and the lyrics were still from his PAIN era. After that... nah.

Gabriel was a hoot... not only the lyrics and whimsical/weird music and nonsensical lyrics... but the shaved spot on the top of his head and bizarre costumes. i thought it was great at the time... but looking back, his best work was his solo stuff.

🙂

 
While both are true musicians........(rare these days).........I'd give it to Phil.

I liked a lot of the old Genesis stuff, but Gabriel doesn't have as much talent as Phil does.



Phil can write songs from so many different perspectives. Gabriel is limited in that regard. Still good......but not as good as Phil.


And if any of you haven't heard any of the old Phil drum solos......(Not the stuff you hear in his songs, but actual REAL solos)...........then you don't really know how good a drummer he is.

I wasn't trashing your opinion, I hope it didn't come off that way. I've enjoyed some of Phil Collins' early solo work, I just find Gabriels' stuff to be more to my taste. The costumes and shaved spot were awesome in the day!😀

Yep, bubblegum pop VS art.

Art? Uh no. KarenMarie sums it up pretty well:

Gabriel was all about gimmicks & being silly. It was almost never about music with him.
