Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.1/100, a mean average of 84.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.9.

A track that took some time to grow on me, but I always thought Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel's voices meshed so well.
Great lyrics (worth paying attention to), superb song, cleverly arranged. Vocals from Gabriel and Kate Bush are heartfelt and beautiful. Kate really is something else, so glad he had her sing this and not Dolly Parton as he seemingly originally intended
This is just one of many songs from Gabriel, both solo and with Genesis, that I believe saved my life.

un estilo que me hace recordar un poco a The Police, sobre todo por las percuciones y la orquestación

A fantastic pairing with a brilliant song.
