    “Illegal Alien” - Genesis

    The song makes it seem like it’s a fun thing as you’re watching the video but- it’s not…..

    Some of these truly remind me of good times and sad times. :( And when I go to call some old friends to reminisce---I realize they're all dead. Damn--how'd that happen?:flushed:

    I find this one of the most moving songs ever written. Particularly when sung by Kathleen Ferrier without any musical backup.

    This video is not the official one which completely changes the original meaning.

    This is what this song means to me.
    There are other good videos with this song that's been used in a lot of movies.

    Watching and listening to this reminds me of when we had some American hiders from the draft staying with us in Edinburgh.

    I have heard this song over a thousand times but for some reason when I hear it, it takes me back to the early 1970's when I was home making bread, by hand, in my kitchen. It is such a tribute to Vincent.

    Beautiful song! Music just isn’t as good as this anymore. “Miss American Pie” is good too!
