I'm blown away to find out the Phil Collins/Marilyn Martin song I've loved for 38 years is actually a Stephen Bishop cover. I can’t believe it! Better late than never, I guess. His version is beautiful too.
Well, Stephen Bishop wrote it and sang it. He sang it at the 1986 Academy Awards. That video is on his Facebook page. Dionne Warwick did a solo version in 1986 on the "Solid Gold" television music-variety series, of which she was the host at the time, and Stephen Bishop did a duet with Dionne on a different episode of "Solid Gold" in 1986 as well and both are on TH-cam. The Phil Collins-Marilyn Martin version was the version used on the 1985 movie, "White Nights", soundtrack, so it is the most well-known as a duet, but Stephen Bishop has his solo version, as shown and heard here. It is the original, his rendition.
@@Kinkle_ZThat is often the case, but not all composers and lyricists are able to sing well. Stephen Bishop is, however, one of those who does all of that. He is a very special artist.
I heard this song and this exact verion playing on a radio station (Home Radio CDO) way back 2007-2008 everytime I sleep around 2-3pm. This song reminds me all the heartbreaks I've been through.
I prefer Dolly's original version. I also prefer Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" over Judy Collin's meh version and Steve Goodman's "City of New Orlean's" over Arlo Guthrie's cover of his song. The original is almost always better than a cover.
I've never heard Phil Collins' version... only Steve Bishop's original version and no offense... but this original by my SD homey songwriter, Stephen, can never be improved upon. He completely nails it.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn, that's nearly impossible. With that kind of luck, I would have been able to travel to that forbidden country!
Stephen’s version of his song is more powerful IMO. He has a vulnerability in his voice that comes through. I read that he wrote this after a breakup with Karen Allen, who he met on the set of “Animal House”. Don’t know if it’s true.
Truth of 7382 its true that Stephen Bishop wrote this song Separate Lives its about Stephen Bishop break up with his girlfriend Karen Allen at that time. Its true true true true. I love love this song Separate Lives.. Phil Collins is a genius. I could listen to this song Separate Lives forever & forever & we are on Apr23 2024 now I could listen to this song Separate Lives by Phil David Charles Collins 2025 2026 2027 2028 yrs yrs yrs into the future through eternity perhaps! Thank you.
😢it's so sad,why are u listening to sad songs? I LOVE YOU RONNIE , you need a girlfriend maybe or somebody to talk to. I wish I could say something to heal your heart. You will in time Until then remember this too shall pass and I feel that way too. You're never alone.
If this song were a person, Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin would be in jail! I never knew that their version was actually a cover. This version sounds like it could be an "unplugged" rendition or even.... horrors.... a demo. It's nice but not as glorious as the "White Nights" version.

The actual songwriter's version is, in my experience, always the best. This was Bishop's best penned song ever imho.

Oh you were in the same class as I was in.... Professor of Rock's class.
That pause when after Stephen sings "Someday" always gets me.
This song is so powerful. Stephen Bishop’s best song
Never heard this version before today……just blown me away ….guitar and vocals truly sublime in its simplicity ……
This is the original
This is one of hidden gems that.actually holds up better than popular version. It's feels timeless!
I did not know this was a Stephen Bishop song written by him. It does really sound like one of his songs Love it

Way back to 2007-2008. That was awhile ago. The song is from 1985, which is way back into an earlier era. No matter, it is a great song.
Lovely, distinctive voice.
this song really hits me so hard right now. break-ups are so difficult, its never easy.
I hope your heart is healing 💓
The dynamics and intricate ghost notes makes this song great ❤
Simply Beautiful!! Wow what a Great Song....
My boy poured his heart out in that song.
Wow, what a beautiful rendition. Thanks ✌️
It's not a "rendition." It's the ORIGINAL version by the songwriter.
@@Kinkle_ZYes, the original it happens to be.
Ouch. I felt this song this evening. Goodnight.
Brings back so many memories of this song....
As Whitney Houston made Dolly Parton’s song I will always love you a huge hit, so did Phil Collins with this song. Amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think Judy Collin's is Joni Mitchell's protégé..... @@Kinkle_Z
Omg omg the best

The Phil Collins version is actually a duet with Marilyn Martin and was used for the "White Nights" 1985 movie and soundtrack.

@@clarissatomato8351 Stephen Bishop wrote this song that Phil Collins covered and made famous later.
@@clarissatomato8351Steve wrote this song, not Phil.

No, Phil did not write this song. At least Phil made this song big. Real big.
