I like bits and pieces of the 12" version..the handclaps hit harder...

Phil poped up in my ipod the other day (i wish it would rain down, two hearts, against all odds) totally 4got how ez on the ears his music can be and got thinkin --- has Prince ever performed any of his songs? 4sum reason, when i was listening to, i wish it would rain down --- was thinking how Prince would sound covering it.

the phoenix horns breakdown is a thing of greatness

Tuuune!! i f*cking love this song!!

This further proves that Gabriel is better.

I love some Gabriel but the comparison is pointless, unless your talking about vocally.

Bit of a letdown that Gabriel couldn't even be fucked to pick up an award with the group though a few years back. I mean fair enough he didn't want to do the last tour with them, but come on Pete, it's just an award?

OK - now the opinions on his daughter Lily...

Does anybody still give a damn about this dated 1999 ripoff??

hell, it's the worst song of the album!

What sense does this question make? If I didn't care about it, I wouldn't have posted it. I don't make threads about things I don't like, nor negative threads like "so and so sucks" or "Hooray, so and so flops!" like other people on this site. I don't see much of a point of bringing up stuff just to trash it. There's more positive ways to spend time. Music is there to make people happy and bring enjoyment, that is all. Whatever that is, more power to them. People who think they're "hip" and "cool" want to put down music that doesn't meet their supposed "superior taste". I like "You Light Up My Life" and proud of it. I don't believe in "guilty pleasures", only snobs use terms like that because they're ashamed and embarrased. I either like a song or I don't.

Always liked this track.

I remember being about 3 and have a faded memory of liking the song when it was on tv and hearing it on the radio. I forgot all about it till I heard it again on the radio again in 2006.

I feel ya, but sometimes bringing up stuff to trash it is fun , lol

I said that because I've always thought that people proudly say that Sussudio is one of the worst songs he eved did, I mean, for me, this was when Phil finally embraced cheese with open arms...and as I've said is one of the worst songs of the album of the same name...

Who's "people"? It's not worst to me, and I don't know what cheese means, except something made from milk.

is that so...? I rather think there is good reason, that the Definitve Gabriel collection is called "Hit" and not "Hits"

How can it be cheese if it reminds you of 1999?

Its a cheesy song, that uses elements of the more 'sharper, groovier' song 1999. Its cheesier in its execution and has dated more then 1999 because of that IMO.
