Many Too Many - Genesis - MP3 instrumental karaoke

In June 1978, Genesis released "Many Too Many", a poignant ballad penned by keyboardist Tony Banks, as the second single from their ninth studio album, ...And Then There Were Three.... This track marked a significant moment in the band's evolution, being the last to feature the Mellotron, an instrument that had been integral to their earlier sound. Despite following the commercial success of "Follow You Follow Me", "Many Too Many" reached number 43 on the UK Singles Chart and number 41 in Germany. The song's lyrics delve into themes of disillusionment and unfulfilled expectations in relationships, encapsulated in the line, "And many too many have stood where I stand." Musically, the track showcases Banks's emotive piano and Mellotron arrangements, complemented by Phil Collins's heartfelt vocals and Mike Rutherford's melodic guitar work. "Many Too Many" stands as a testament to Genesis's ability to blend introspective lyrics with compelling melodies during a transformative period in their career.
