Growing Up is an unexciting but undeniably clever song
from Mr Gabriel, which will be enjoyed by fans of his last two albums.
It describes the path of life from a spiritual and
psychological viewpoint, and is lifted by Gabriel's angelic instrumentation
and song-structure talents.
But in the end it's a song built around lyrics and
sustained by structure - a lot of effort for what is, in reality, a mediocre
tune.
