Mike Rutherford - Hideaway

[@martynford3426]

I keep coming back to this track. I am very proud of my arrangement on this. My orchestra sounds great and we recorded it in the much missed CTS studios.

[@1msmk]

Best track of the album, so sensitive arranged for strings....

[@GeraldChia]

Lovely to hear from you :) 🙏

[@moogymiss]

It is brilliant orchestration Martyn. The depth of it really makes this track stand out. Well done.

[@TheHorsebox2]

An obscure song for most. For me, great memories.

[@karenkilloran600]

Love this song ❤

[@catmouse6497]

I was so lucky to meet Mike in 1998. He was so nice and friendly. He signed my copy of this single and I got a picture with him. I will always remember this. ❤❤❤

[@jeeves222]

For some reason I had completely forgotten about this song - no idea why. Loved it back then and still do, some 39 years later. Time passes so quickly. But this brings back wonderful memories.

[@nachoguerraradio3466]

Hideaway debe ser una de las mas bellas canciones que se ha compuesto en la década del 80. Recuerdo la primera vez que la escuché. Me emocioné hasta las lágrimas. Es un relámpago en la carrera de Mike, pero no compuso nada más al nivel de esta balada. Un diamante único y extraordinario!

"Time and time again" from the album "Smallcreep's day" Is Also beatiful

[@ErikKoehne]

I had this album in the mid eighties and loved Couldn’t Get Arrested. Somehow I forgot about this song which I am now addicted to! Very Genesis but with Gabriel’s soulful twist. I imagine Mike smoked two packs and screamed into a pillow for an hour to get that Gabriel vocal distortion. Well worth it.

A bottle of Courvusier Brandy if I remember

[@KnightsandWarriors]

He drunk a lot of congnac, he said this in the interview.

[@georgemathie8123]

If this song doesn't grab ya by the heartstrings I dont know if you have a pulse this is his underrated masterpiece

[@dougreed2257]

His voice is not as bad as people have made out over the years, yes he's not the greatest, but he certainly can carry a tune, it suits this song!

[@DrTomoculus]

It was much better than I was led to believe! I was surprised actually. I think the only thing he really lacked was confidence. That's it. Because he actually has a really soulful voice.

[@kerebosaz]

If Joe Cocker sang a song produced by Jeff Lynne

[@fernandoperdomomusic]

Imagine an alternate Universe where Phil sang this song and it became an absolute classic played at every genesis show.

[@tiplady]

yeah v nice vibe, but what kills it for me is his unfortunate vocals, G Harrison should have sung it as he played the slide at the end.

[@amitraam1270]

​@@tiplady is that actually true?

[@souldreamer9056]

First time hearing mike sing. He sounds like the singer from procol harum, the salty dog album.

[@arthurrdealvarenga2540]

My favorite song in this disk is Maxine (by the rithm). Mike tried to do a completely new style in this disk, that sometimes remember the group "The Police" beginning too. However, people who liked the last band didn't know Mike already, so the disk lose his time and probably fans in the history. The question is the timing to release, he was unlucky.

[@jandasalovich6469]

Reminds me of the vocals of Dana Key. This is excellent.

[@pabloroncevich3742]

gran tema

[@DrTomoculus]

I was led to believe this album was not worth purchasing, specifically for his lead vocals. I listened anyway. Cuz I wondered what his voice was like. Ya know what? Knowing this from my own experience, the only thing Mike lacked was CONFIDENCE. Because he actually has a pretty soulful voice. Like, much better than I was led to believe. He has qualities akin to Peter Gabriel in his note selection, this is not far outside what Peter would do. Confidence is crucial. Cuz I can hear he's not sure of himself, and I know that sound, cuz I've heard it many times coming from myself.

[@alecchambers3614]

Easily the best track on this record.

[@busmadmatt]

A bottle of Brandy daily!

[@world_of_max.g]

Who else agrees that the ending slide solo would work well with 'Compression' (track left of off Smallcreep's Day), both in Db.

[@groundhog713]

Mike sounds like Joe Cocker on this song...

[@bfdmudk]

AH, yes - the one redeeming song from a, well, very strange, album. Like a reward for listening all the way through 🤣. (Actually, that is unfair - there are some interesting stuff in the strangeness - borrowing a lot from The Police (hardly surprising given the drummer.) But this is the standout track.

[@bfdmudk]

There is a pretty good cover here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYnbeYFjl8qpj7s&ab_channel=GlassyHonk

[@ianmacdonald9201]

This one could have been on a Duke "B" side or on the 3 sides live album. A gem, lost on this atrocious album.

[@chuckbaranoski4788]

So you are robert christgau's replacement?

[@bohem5568]

Some really good songs but they seem like they are unproduced demo versions in the idea stages.

[@claudiaalexandra7345]

No aceptar la impermanencia es sufrir.

[@malombra903]

Unico pezzo discreto dell album x il resto una vera schifezza ..mio modesto parere. Anche la voce meno gracchiante....cantata bene

[@kaiploer3904]

Best song on Acting, unfortunately with Mikes terrible voice.
