    Perspective of the husbamd to the co- worker of his wife who was having an affair. He saw them together and they didn't. Know, hence, " I was there and saw what you did, saw it with my own 2 eyes." And "it was the first ti.e- the last time we ever met."

    Phil was the original drummer for the band Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the lead singer. When Peter left the band, Phil took on the singing role. That is a whole other rabbit hole in Phil's past.

    My daughter had heard this song many times but had no idea who it was by, what he looked like, singer or band, etc. A couple of years back, I showed her this performance. When he started walking towards the drums, she kinda jokingly said "Where you goin Phil, why you walking towards the drums?" and then was stunned and moved to tears when he started. Incredible.

    He's a household name from many people's childhood (him, Simply Red & Tina Turner practically ruled 80s/90s charts). He's much loved and respected and one of THE best artists from UK. He's made so many tracks used in many things. It's sad for many fans to see his health decline so much in the past few years, but, he is now 73 so it's to be expected. It will be another dark day in (modern) music history when we eventually loose him. Legends are leaving us....

    Phil Collins is the best drummer around. His son plays the drums now too. He had an excellent teacher. He unfortunately injured his back and is no longer able to play drums. He wrote this after his divorce. He was 53 years old when he performed this. It is difficult to sing and play drums at the same time. Love your reaction! ♥

    Great reaction. Clearly u recognized the ICONIC synth/riff from Em's song. However, that ish was computer generated... so happy to see you now know where it came from... NO auto tune, NO fake anything. Just human beings strumming on REAL instruments, singing from their own voices...

    Its been sampled by rappers/hip hop over 20 times
    Collins wrote the song amid the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife Andrea Bertorelli in 1980. In a 2016 interview, Collins said of the song's lyrics: "I wrote the lyrics spontaneously. I'm not quite sure what the song is about, but there's a lot of anger, a lot of despair and a lot of frustration."[10] In a 1997 BBC Radio 2 documentary, the singer revealed that the divorce contributed to his 1979 hiatus from the band Genesis, until they regrouped in October of that year to record the album Duke. Collins remembered playing the song to Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks but he felt it was too simple for the group.[11] Banks, however, says he never heard the composition.

    Phil Collins is one of the GOAT's in the musical industry. An amazing Drummer, a great lyricist, a wonderful live performer and his voice is iconic. The concert this video is pulled from (which I believe is called "Finally the First Farewell Tour", which can be found on TH-cam in it's entirety) is great from start to finish. It's just hit after hit after hit. He gets behind the drums a few times during the show and it's great to see (at this time he had some neck / back injuries that were hurting him really bad and eventually made him give up drumming completely due to the pain).
    From his days in Genesis, to his amazing Solo career, he's one artist that you'd be hard pressed not to be impressed by....

    Considered by many to be one of the world’s best drummers, singers & songwriters. He’s won several awards (inc an Oscar) and is one of three artists ever, to sell 100 million albums as both solo artists & as part of a group!! (the other two artists being Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson)

    Great reaction dude! It always makes me chuckle when someone says "I didn't know he was a drummer". Don't worry, many have said it. Long before Phil's solo career, he was a drummer with prog rock band Genesis. There are (in broad terms) 2 eras of Genesis, one where the lead singer was Peter Gabriel, then when Collins took over as lead singer. Their body of work is immense. Seconds Out is one of the greatest live albums of all time. I love Gabriel and Collins Genesis. The drumming here is very basic by Phil's standards. Check out tracks like Dancing with the Moonlight Night, Suppers Ready, 11th Earl of Marr for drumming masterclasses!

  • @teresagorden5984

    He was hurt so bad by this person, that if he saw the person drowning, he would not lend a hand. That is because of being betrayed badly by someone. Likely as result of breakup after Phil was done a dirty by someone he had cared for and trusted. That is the general consensus of the great lyrics written by Phil
    Collins who has been the drummer for Genesis before the exit of Peter Gabriel years ago who was the lead singer and lyricist of Genesis. Once Gabriel left Collins stepped up as the lead singer and was always drummer.
    This song has been used in movies and was first featured on the TV show Miami Vice. Great song which I have had the pleasure of seeing Phil Collins live several times...well worth attending, and just as good live as on albums etc.

  • @melliemel151
    @melliemel151 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You’re right-it’s most definitely a break up song. What preceded it was his ex cheating on him (“I saw what you did“). So, the “Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand,” is Phil saying, “You’re dead to me now, and don’t come running to me if you ever need help.” Great reaction, and, yes, we’d love more Phil Collins. Maybe “I Don’t Care Anymore,” or some Genesis when he was both drummer and singer. His drumming brilliance and complexity is very underrated, not to mention how his acting skills really sell the emotion.

    I'm glad you're reacting to this now--better late than never. He was 53 years old when he did this concert in Bercy, Paris in 2004. Truly an amazing performance by Brad Cole (keyboards, synthesizers, Vocoder), Daryl Stuermer (6 String Guitar), Leland Sklar (Bass Guitar), Chester Thompson ("Rhythm" Drums) and Phil himself (vocals, drums). It was performed in front of 20,000 + people at the "Palais Omnisport de Paris" and truly was, if not the greatest, close to the greatest live performance ever. It was from his "Finally... The First Farewell" Tour and this particular concert in Bercy started with an amazing "Drums, Drums & More Drums" track performed by Phil and his other drummer, the previously mentioned Mr. Thompson. Incidentally, this track ("In the Air Tonight") was the 17th in the tracklist sandwiched between Separate Lives and Dance into the Light. Phil had the energy he had in this song all the way through to the end of the concert (as did his musicians). Now that he can no longer drum, his son NIcholas plays drums almost as well as the old man did--literally--Phil is in his 70's now. His son was on the Domino tour with Genesis recently. Oh and of course, his daughter Lily is rapidly becoming a famous actress in her own right. So, he's still doing alright I suppose (tongue in cheek).

    Phil was the drummer for Genesis, going back to the early Peter Gabriel days. When Peter left, the band auditioned countless new singers. Phil would demonstrate the singing, and no one was quite up to the task. So his bandmates eventually insisted that Phil take the microphone. In his prime, he was an amazing vocalist and an amazing songwriter, but his first love was drumming.
