In 2019, Andy Greene of Rolling Stone remarked, "You don't hear the 1986 Genesis song 'Tonight Tonight Tonight' very often these days, but back then it was absolutely inescapable. This was a weird period of time where seemingly half the songs on the radio were either by Genesis or one of the many offshoot acts like Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel ...
Spot the Pigeon is the first EP by English progressive rock band Genesis, released on 20 May 1977. Its three songs were originally written for the group's eighth studio album Wind & Wuthering (1976), but were not included in the final track selection.

"Home by the Sea" and "Second Home by the Sea" is a suite of two songs by English rock band Genesis. It first appeared on their eponymous album in 1983. The lyrics were written by keyboardist Tony Banks and the music was written by the whole band. Lyrically, the song is about a burglar who breaks into a house only to find it is haunted. [1]
Banks, who worked on the lyrics with Mike Rutherford, later dismissed them, saying they were "one of the worst sets of lyrics [I have] been involved with". [citation needed] The song has three distinct musical parts. It starts out with a classical-style grand piano introduction played by Banks in the key of B flat. [5]
The drum machine used in the song, a Roland CR-78, is shown at the beginning of the video. In a 2023 interview, Banks said, "The song that both Phil and I always rate as perhaps our favorite Genesis song is 'Duchess' from Duke. I like it because it has a simple lyric — the rise and fall of a female rock star.
The song was performed live by Genesis on their 1978 tour and was used as a frequent opening number on their 1980 tour, but the song was not performed live thereafter. In Japan and North America it was released as a single, but re-titled as "Go West Young Man (In the Motherlode)".
