In recognition of Memorial Day...

...I've listened to "For Absent Friends" by Genesis.  Phil Collins and Steve Hackett wrote the 1971 track on the "Nursery Cryme" album; it was the band's first tune on which Collins sang lead vocals.  It's a short, slice-of-life song about two widows taking time to remember their dearly departed spouses.  Although longer prog rock epics on the album tend to overshadow it for many listeners, "For Absent Friends" deserves to be heard, especially on Memorial Day.
