I'll try to get around to Slow Train Coming, at least.
Carpet Crawlers - Genesis (1974)
This song actually unimpressed me at first - before I got into Genesis - and I didn't revisit it until I listened to the album it's from in full. There's a few little details I like in the studio version that helps elevate it for me, some being Steve Hackett's guitar in the background and Phil Collins' drums gradually 'moving closer' to the listener by reducing the reverb on them. Peter Gabriel's delivery of the lyrics (as well as some lines of the lyrics themselves, such as the chorus in particular) alongside the guitar and melancholy chords create a strong sense of yearning. Definitely my favorite song from an already great album.
