I think he is dreaming about a confrontation with the guy who ran off with his wife (while Phil was on tour). He's been preparing for such a profound moment his whole life. He is ready.
Phil Collins is an icon. He wrote this song about his divorce. Singing and playing drums at the same is extremely difficult and he does it with ease. Love your reaction!
OMG, love Phil Collins! He's an awesome performer! My heart is broken because he can't perform like he used to due to health reasons. Love you my angel! Take care! ❤❤❤❤
The legend that is Phil Collins. What a voice, what a drummer. If you wanna see a drum battle of the ages, i ask you to look up the godsmack drum battle which was between the drummer and the singer 😆
Phil Collins performed this song on July 13, 1985 at Wembley Stadium in London. In front of 75,000 spectators. The performance was part of the legendary "LiveAidConcert" organized by Bob Geldof. Around 2 billion people saw the concert worldwide. After the performance, Phil Collins flew to the USA on the Concorde and had another performance there in Philadelphia on the same day...
Phil was, originally, the drummer in GENESIS and I saw the first ever Top Of The Bill performance by Genesis, with 3,000 others, at The Croydon Greyhound Pub Venue in South East London @ Croyson when the original Bill Toppers= "Bell 'n Arc" disbanded in August 1972.:)
Phill Collins is so cool he can play drums and sing at the same time definitely worth checking out Genesis which he used to be in before he became a solo artist

Love this song & your reaction was awesome! More Phil Collins: Against All Odds, Easy Lover, Sussudio, Can't Hurry Love, You'll Be In My Heart, I Don't Care Anymore, Another Day In Paradise, One More Night, Don't Lose My Number, Take Me Home
By the way, you didn’t see the drums until the exact moment he got to them bc they were rising up from under the platform. And, watch his hands bc he has retractable drumsticks, so that’s why there’s no reaching for them when he hits hard!
Phil Collins is one of the best drummer/lead singer's EVER!!!! There is him and Don Henley of the EAGLES. YOU NEED TO REACT TO THEIR SONG "HOTEL CALIFORNIA". ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN AND PERFORMED!!!!
Phil Collins was a world class rock drummer first and then began singing later as a side hustle. Genesis, the prog-rock legends parted ways with their first singer, Peter Gabriel, in 1975 and Phil Collins was their drummer who then stepped up as the replacement vocalist. Millions of records later, he was pretty much the voice of the 1980s and early 90s along with Michael Jackson. Definitely need more Phil and Peter Gabriel and Genesis on the island. 🔥❤🔥
It wasn’t grief, he was pissed. Getting cheated on. I thought it was his 2nd wife. Most people don’t know he is left handed. So, his drum set is exactly opposite of the normal set-up. Check out more of his music. You will definitely enjoy it.
Enjoyed your reaction, you're right, his voice is familiar, had many solo hits. Before that, he sort of had two eras with Genesis, first as their brilliant drummer, then when lead singer Peter Gabriel left, became the lead singer and still drummer. He would tour live with the 2nd drummer in this video, Chester Thompson, helping with live percussion. The guitarist here is Daryl Stuermer, who would also tour with Genesis doing the guitar pieces after the great Steve Hackett left. Entry level Genesis? I' suggest Mama. It's an extraordinarily deep catalogue though. Wasn't it your brother who opened your eyes to Pink Floyd? Asking about Phil and Genesis!
He is not 'talking to a girl' in this song. He caught his wife with another man, and it is the man he is referring to hence " I don't know if you know who I am" And " the first time and the last time we ever met" This is what led to his divorce, ie what is in the air tonight

Has anyone noticed how at the near end he sings the letter i from the word “life” 24 times…? 8 measures of 4/4 timing.. am I the only nerd who tries to figure out the timing?😂😂😂
Thanks for this:). I have Subscribed. There was no need to overthink it as you were very perceptive the first time. lol The opening line "If you were drowning,I would NOT lend a hand" was a clue that this was not a happy meeting with a girl. He came home early from a Tour and found his wife in bed with another Man.
He was waiting for the chance to confront his wife’s lover ( the cause of the divorce) he came home from being on tour a little early and discovered them in bed, he left without speaking or them even realising he had been there.
This song was very personal, it was just how he felt after divorcing his first wife, the drums are the anger that he felt, I think his wife did cheat on him
Enjoyed your reaction but a bit of advice, never ever pause while Phil Collins is performing and especially with the drum drop, do your research before and comment after.
Check Cadbury gorilla advert out on drums brilliant and no it was not Phil in costume but a guitar player who was given 3o mins to learn the drums before advert shot 🎉
He came home to see his wife cheating with on him with a builder doing some work in their house. He backed out the door without them ever knowing he saw them. Then he wrote this song.

Phil Collins wrote this song amid the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife in 1980.
wow gives me chills

The best. His life has been an incredible journey from the age of 21 to his current retirement. Love him at every stage.
OMG, love Phil Collins! He's an awesome performer! My heart is broken because he can't perform like he used to due to health reasons. Love you my angel! Take care! ❤❤❤❤
Ain’t nothing better than a pissed off Phil Collins! Wrote some of the best tunes! ICONIC PERFORMANCE BY A MUSICAL GENIUS!
The legend that is Phil Collins. What a voice, what a drummer. If you wanna see a drum battle of the ages, i ask you to look up the godsmack drum battle which was between the drummer and the singer 😆
Phil Collins music should be taught in every school in the world. Everybody should know who he is and his amazing music.

Phil was the drummer for the band Genesis an Icon
Obviously, this was not his first performance.

every one says that , that's for sure i have to check out this group
Phill used to be in a band Called Genesis
wow i should have a look
This starts out sounding like a cosmic jungle. Then as Phil prowls the stage he finally pounces on the drums! Savage. A beast on the drums.
Angry, Phil Collins, our favorite Phil Collins

The video doesn't show the moment when the drum kit lifted up to the 1. floor. The people celebrate it some second before phil starts his drumpart.
This is better than the studio version!!
You should check out Eddie Van Halen's "ERUPTION" guitar solo from their 'without a net' tour.

Thank you i am happy that you enjoyed thank you . I am very excited to check out the group now ! it certainly was .
He is not 'talking to a girl' in this song. He caught his wife with another man, and it is the man he is referring to hence
" I don't know if you know who I am"
And
" the first time and the last time we ever met"
This is what led to his divorce, ie what is in the air tonight
I agrre whole heartedly. I am amazed how many people fil to see this. His other song directed towards his wife is "I dont care any more"
We can see a classic scene with this song, on the first episode of TV show "Miami Vice" (in 1984)
Loved watching that show in the '80s!

It's not "Oh Lord", it's "Hold on"...he's British, you have to account for the accent.
True omg .. thank you
Listen to "Wear my hat" 🤟🤟🤟
Thanks for this:). I have Subscribed. There was no need to overthink it as you were very perceptive the first time. lol
The opening line "If you were drowning,I would NOT lend a hand" was a clue that this was not a happy meeting with a girl. He came home early from a Tour and found his wife in bed with another Man.
lol thank you for your support , i am an overthinker lmao .
Oh lord
lol my fav part
Hmm this sound is exactly how I feel
Talking about his moment meeting the man who is doing his wife.
The moment he feels coming is he knows his wife is about to hand him his walking papers
He came home early on Tour and caught him in bed with another guy. She should have got the boot:)
Hi how do i go by sending you a music video request?
He was waiting for the chance to confront his wife’s lover ( the cause of the divorce) he came home from being on tour a little early and discovered them in bed, he left without speaking or them even realising he had been there.

Please don't pause the drum part. Never

Check Cadbury gorilla advert out on drums brilliant and no it was not Phil in costume but a guitar player who was given 3o mins to learn the drums before advert shot 🎉
Phil Collins wrote this song after divorcing his first wife after she cheated on him and was going through Griff and anger
He came home to see his wife cheating with on him with a builder doing some work in their house. He backed out the door without them ever knowing he saw them. Then he wrote this song.
Come on, stop breaking suspens
When he was young his friend fell through the ice on a pond and the person he is singing to could have saved him but didn’t
it was a divorce.
No you were not
Not what?
No! A divorce.
