Song in my head

Yesterday, I got this song in my head: "Home by the Sea," by Genesis. I haven't heard that song in ages, and the CD has been collecting dust on the shelf.
However, I just needed to listen to it. Great tune. I remember when I worked at Target when I took a year off between my two "visits" to the University of Florida. I had to be at work at 5am, so I'd be driving along the empty streets of Gainesville, blasting this song.
When I listened to it yesterday, I found that it doesn't quite work as well in the daytime. There's a certain moody quality to it that seems to require darkness and empty roads.
I listened to it late last night on the way home from the latest Mouth of Wilson show. As I came in to my town, the streets were empty and there was a bunch of mist over the roads. Perfect for this song.
