Today 12 years ago my oldest brother past away at the age of 51 due to cancer. As a child and young adult I spend hours listening to and sharing our love for music with him. Genesis was always there and especially Follow you follow me. It's always bitter sweet to listen to this song. One sentence out of this song is tattood on my arm in rememberance of my brother. Thank Genesis for all their great music!❤
We had the original a few weeks ago walking down the aisle together . Lots of memories from when we 1st went out in 1980 or 81 going to a Genesis concert at the N.E.C in Birmingham ( UK ). Nearly 30 yrs later we met up again , we have always been there for each other , not just the sharing good times which anyone can do but also helping each other thru the bad times . The lyrics to this song are perfect for us
Not a lot of songs anymore that you could break down to such the basic pieces and still have something so beautiful. This is wonderful and I'm happy to have heard it.
My wife followed me from NY to CT, then a few years ago to FL. Now as my time grows short i want her to follow me to heaven when 30 years or so her time comes
I always find comfort in listening to this song! I am a long- time listener and no one will ever or could ever top his soothing voice! Thanks for posting!
Our wedding song remix July 18th, 1981, was a day I'll never forget. ❤ He's suffering in the hospital having amputation, and my best friend can't follow me, but I'll carry him forever ❤
@@IntoTheWhite04 Who do you think plays the drums when recording the songs? Chester Thompson played when they did concerts and Phil played the drums when Gabriel was lead singer back in the day.
Upon first listening to this song I was impressed by the soothing vocals. Asked myself, who is that? That song & voice were meant for each other, I don’t think anyone can top it.
Love how... this is the band. Each member is as important as any other, and this piece would not be possible without any of them. Equals in talent, influence... and good friends.
The secrets of the longevity of this band as trio are: lack of ego battle, sense of group and real triendship. Genesis was Banks, Collins and Rutherford.
@@TherealShabbadang Hackett said bad thing about the band in 1977. He said he was tired of playing songs like "Supper's Ready" every night. Tony Banks was dominant in compositions at that time BUT he created best songs compared to Hackett at that time. Peter Gabriel don't plays Genesis music. Your repertoire sustains your show. The same can't be with Steve Hackett. He too cash with the music of Genesis. He left out the band and never was call to go back. I think Steve could focus first in you art but since 2012 he cash with the music of Genesis. He don't were strong as composer on the band as Banks, Rutherford and Gabriel.
And just like that, I'm riding down the street on my 3-speed (center-shifter) bike with banana seat, wearing a tank top and shorts (shorter than boxers now), tube socks, and K-mart Trax sneakers, listening to this on the AM radio attached to the handlebars...
I always think that as soon as Phil starts to sing the first few bars that Im in totally relaxed and swept away but his voice. so glad we saw Genesis in concert.
This is the song that really led me to Genesis as a very young kid and yes I continue to follow them while I live :-) Was so happy to finally get to see them live in October 2021 :-)
Meine Jungs.....danke, ihr seid immer noch die Größten für mich...was hätte ich darum gegeben, nur für einen kleinen Augenblick mit im Raum zu sitzen, still auf nem Sofa....
My first Genesis tune back in 1981 doing bongs down in my best friends basement and really never heard of Genesis but heard this and never looked back.. My favorite band and always will be.
@@mickfunny4185 Unfortunately he screwed me over about 4 years later and I'm one that doesn't forgive and forget but still remember those great times..Thanks for asking.
This song was on the ATTW3 album, released in '78. Mike wrote these lyrics....apparently, after he married the woman whom he is still married to, in 1977. Which I think gives this tune depth and total authenticity.
@@soak1709had the great honor of driving as a taxi driver Mike Rutherford he told me that he wrote the song for his wife. one of my most enjoyable passengers very fond memory ❤
It’s a beautiful song,one of the most simple songs they have done but that doesn’t make it any less great. Like fine food,sometimes it’s just about a few great ingredients coming together. One of their best and opened them up to a new market of fans
It's actually pretty easy if you're a musician; you're keeping time mentally anyway, so this is just transferring that to your hands while you are singing. Now, the guys who can sing lead vocals while whipping out lead guitar parts at the same time (or wicked bass lines, ala Geddy Lee in the band Rush)... THEY blow my mind. :)
This song is about long lasting love, loyality and carrying to eachother. Beautifull expeession and lyric to describe that story. Love you all Genesis!
Wondrously enjoyable. All the pieces, voice, lyrics, synthesizer, guitar, and percussion, meld together, beautifully. This song, this band, is a fantastic piece of music history. Thank you, Genesis. Dedicated to my beloved, Samuel. Always.
To all of my friends who argue that no Gabriel and Hackett equals no Genesis, this one song proved them absolutely WRONG. PS It's my favorite of theirs, the karaoke crowd always loved it!

The original was my wedding recessional and every time it comes on the radio my wife and I stop to listen. Love this version.

If you do not Sing, along, it does not count. Happy Anniversary, whenever it may be, anyway.
Now, you made me cry. 😍😍
Was my wedding recessional too
Our first dance song! Knew it from the day I met my beautiful, kind husband.

You made me have a shiver reading this,hope your both happy ❤️
This song never fails to turn me into one big goosebump.
Me too
Best Genesis song ever!
The best trio ever ❤❤❤ Love Phil, Mike and Tony 😍😍😍
What a great song. Phil Collins has the perfect voice for this.
I always find comfort in listening to this song! I am a long- time listener and no one will ever or could ever top his soothing voice! Thanks for posting!
Except for Barry Gibb 💘 Phil is my #2

Beautiful song and great version. I like being able to hear all of Tony's intricacies.
Phil colins is an accomplished drummer which is explains how he sings and plays 2 percussive instruments at the same time. What a great song.
Phil Collins is a drummer? No way!

To lose your front man then have another band member eventually shadow the rest of them in popularity takes a huge friendship to keep it going

I used to do that with my transistor radio.
My tribe!
Yes....Trax sneakers....I swear they made me run faster!!!!😂
Easily my favorite Genesis song. Lyrics and melodies are just so hauntingly beautiful.
WOW, beautiful. Gorgeous. Healing. Sweet.
I always think that as soon as Phil starts to sing the first few bars that Im in totally relaxed and swept away but his voice. so glad we saw Genesis in concert.
I can go hours just listening to this music.🙂🙂🎤🎤🎤🎹🎹🎼🎼

Same here . First song I heard from Genesis.
Just like yesterday beautiful and meaningful… love him ♥️
something special about this song.
What a wonderful version of this classic song....Performed so matter-of-factly, with perfect execution, by three fabulous musician's!

Not quite. They've been upfront that it was a shameless ploy to get female fans.

The best pop music is the best music. This gem is like that.
This is just beautiful. No other words needed.
Wow I could never be able to sing, use the shaker and play the bongos while keeping in time with the music. Phil Collins is amazing.
Jim Smith: Cállese, niño pendejo.

amazing how Jim Smith hates Genesis, but pops up on all their message boards ?

Made me cry just one tear

Mike Rutherford wrote this song for his wife and it became a gold record for them here in states.
I wish i'd have been in that room at that moment ❤
This was my wedding song some 20 years ago..Love from Argentina!
Such a beautiful song by one of the best band ever👍
Fantastic acoustic version. Loved it
Wondrously enjoyable.
All the pieces, voice, lyrics, synthesizer, guitar, and percussion, meld together, beautifully. This song, this band, is a fantastic piece of music history. Thank you, Genesis.
Dedicated to my beloved, Samuel. Always.
How cool would a small club or theatre tour of the band like this have been?!
Timeless song ❤
No auto tune needed here just raw talent
July 2021 still watching listening to this marvelous music.
It's such a shame they never did an official Unplugged concert released it on CD/DVD... Imagine that!
Phil looks so handsome here beautiful expressions
Super band for sure. Thank you GENESIS!
So much talent such a beautiful loving song amen
You don't hear music this complex anymore, not even by Genesis. I think this song and "Ripples" are their two best.
I love discovering little
gems like this on youtube
True classic, beautiful composition ☀️
Great music can be stripped bare and still shine bright.
This talent will go places one day, love you Phil
This is beautiful 💕
I love this song.
Thank you

Such a beautiful song, perfect for a couple deep in love! Perfect for a couple's wedding "1st dance"! 🥰🥰
Just beautiful.
The best music never dies...
My favourite Genesis song, I dont care nor knows what other genesis hits are....
This song is hauntingly Beautiful, I dont know why...
Sometimes "simpler" is just as good as the full production! THIS ... would be one of those times, it seems.
Phil Colins Gênio eterno completo e espetacular.
A thumbs down? What's wrong with you freak?
The magica sound of Yamaha CP-80. Wo awesome like Phil's voice
Puede haber algo más maravilloso y sublime y sentido que ésto??? Absoluta emoción!!!
The piano sounds especially precious here, just love it
Love you Phil ......
WOW ! Einfach nur WOW !
Ich werde euch vermissen....
The world is a better place because Phil Collins has lived in it.
3 unbelievable musicians making a perfectly unbelievable song…
All my love to you Phil!
Love this song and the man who follow's me.
Beautiful voice.
This has always been my favorite of their...
🎤🎼🎵🎵🎵🎵🎹🎸💜
THE SONG THAT STARTED IT ALL FOR ME....FANTASTIC
Same here,dude
Amazing!!! to sound that good unplugged with no auto-tune, or electronics is incredible
Trying to do what Phil Collins is doing would make my head explode.
You go, internet warrior. Do you have any idea how embarrassing you are?
lol!!!!!!!
what i noticed as a drummer myself, he's using the shaker to keep time!
The genius trio 👏👍
Simply,,,,,,,beautiful !
beautiful. ... nothing better than the original!
I love Genesis and Phil Collins so much that every son of mine has a song, and this one is by my son Elias❤
There's nothing you can't do is there?! 💘 Love you forever Phil... 🥲💔
Life changing history following me around.
Wowwww! This sounds fucking AMAZING unplugged! Niiice! Now I wanna learn to play it
Phil sounds tremendous here.. really excellent!
To all of my friends who argue that no Gabriel and Hackett equals no Genesis, this one song proved them absolutely WRONG. PS It's my favorite of theirs, the karaoke crowd always loved it!
I waited 18 years for my Beloved to be born and then I had to wait for him to grow up. He is the love of my life. This is our wedding song.
Awesome sound. King Regal from Venezuela.
Erinnerung an eine besondere Zeit 😊
Was at the first of Phils shows in Liverpool last year and to hear the first bars of this, well, i went into meltdown 😁😁😁
wow, there is history here!!!!!!!!
despite tony phoning it in with not doing the long keyboard bit, i like this recording
Maravilha de música grande compositor dos velhos tempos vc e nosso herói nós não esqueceremos de vc nunca ........😂
