Genesis was on a break because Phil had moved to Vancouver to try to patch up his crumbling family situation, and when it became clear that things were not gonna work out, he wrote a bunch of poems (for lack of a better description) as a way of dealing with it. Shortly after that, Genesis' manager was checking on him and saw his notebook. He pointed out to Phil that they would be great lyrics and he should write songs for them.
This song got me through my divorce. Pretty cool he wrote it during his. I could swear he was talking to my ex-wife for me. Kind of an anthem. It is how you feel when someone fucks with you for years.....Great workout song as well.
Totally !! everybody thinks in the air was his big solo 'big' drum thing, rubbish this was way better.....the drums are hard n dirty and express his anger
"You got to love yourself enough to know when enough is enough" -Jamel AKA Jamal. This really struck me tonight due to personal circumstances. Thank you.
Phil Collins is really good at recognizing dark emotions and channeling them into his music. One song that he made with Genesis that is super dark, but also pretty compelling, is "Mama".
"Mama" is, was and always will be my favorite. I've always wondered why it got so little recognition and air play. I'll never forget where I heard it first. 1986, An episode of "Magnum P.I."
What makes this song so powerful: 1) The constant underlying "war drum" sound. 2) The "build up" of not caring anymore as you reach the point of KNOWING it is about to end. 3) The "explosion" of not caring anymore because you want to destroy it all in your wake. 4) The "complex" emotions of frustration vs acceptance of a situation. 5) The "stream of calm" that flows as the realization that "not caring anymore" gives you freedom. 6) The "payback" of letting someone know that their "games and bs" simply don't work anymore.
As a black kid in the 80's, Phil became one of my absolute favorite artists whether solo or with Genesis. "Take Me Home" and "I Wish It Would Rain Down" were my all time favorites, but "I Don't Care Anymore" isn't far behind and always makes an impression. Great reaction.
@@Shawney-jf6kc nah. Not my style. Take out my anger by listening to great music to express just what I’m feeling in the moment. Appreciate the words though. 🤘🏼🤘🏼😘
He's got plenty of new material to work with now, after his on again/off again wife cheated on him, secretly married another guy, then locked him out of his own house.
In case anyone wants to know, that instrument that Phil is playing with his fists is a Moog Taurus. It's a bass synthesizer that is usually played with the feet. It produces those deep, droning synth bass sounds.
Yes! When you're fortunate enough to reach "middle age" you care less and less about opinions of others. Being single and fiercely independent multiplies this.
True. I find myself not caring about so much! everything in the media, my kids melodrama. Their fathers sobriety, I don't care! Dude you're insured, leave me alone!
Amen Paula. You reach an age when most of your sunsets are behind you and there's a limited amount left. You really know what you want and that means you know what you don't and won't put up with. Don't be too fierce with your independence
So true, Paula. Now that I'm a senior citizen I just don't give a s**t what anybody thinks. I seek no one's approval. I know who I am and what I value. Take it or leave it. And the other side of that coin is I'm far less judgemental of others now. It's a much better place to be.
Phil Collins deserves every chill, goosebumps, praise and respect he can get. He is a fantistic drummer and singer, everyone deserves to listen to his songs. Thank you for bringing him back. ❤️ Love to the family.
I usually play this song...when I am in my car after a bad day. Another song I listen to when I am sad and need to feel better is Wish it would rain down
This man is the definition of talent He has done it all when comes to music When he was young he played the drums for Muddy Waters at the blues festival held in Chicago every year and he also played the drums for Eric Clapton at one of Eric’s concerts He had just God given talent and some of the best song writing skills on the planet He has done it all when it comes to music
You called it right, Jamel. Emotional pain, physical pain, it doesn't matter - If it goes on and on and on, sooner or later you have to break free or break down.
Written by Phil and drums played by Chester Thompson ( Genesis and Phil's when he's out in front of the kit). Chester mimicks every nuance Phil's playing.
Thanks for all the shout outs for Chester. He's a legend, and as important as a friend and musician to Phil, as the big man Clarence was to Bruce Springsteen. All these guys.... hell. , all musicians make this world such a better place through their genius.. . 🥁🎷🙏🏻🙏🏾
Phil played the drums for the recording of this song while when on tour Chester played the drums. He was literally Phil Collins twin when it came to playing the drums when he needed to. There was barely a difference between the sound. Chester was just that good another big song he did the drums for Phil was Sussudio.
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The whole two records in one sitting. No alcohol. Phil Collins drumming. Peter Gabriel singing. It's a mind-blower of a story.
The wife and I were heading out on a road trip, she plugged in the iPod to the car stereo and hit The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. I was stunned and very pleased.. She's quite a bit younger than me, so old Genesis isn't on her radar. Astrong start to what turned out to be a great road trip.
@@mickylawless1941 What a lovely and relatable story. Roadtrips and transcendent music were made for one another. Make it an electric car and I'm there.
You got to have respect for the phil. He was going through a divorce and he wrote numerous songs about her. He made money off those songs and payed his alimony with that money. Genius pure genius
And then he produced Frida’s solo album when she was going through her divorce from Benny Anderson. His album In The Air Tonight was a lifeline for her during that time. Artists like this are genius:)
@@DeidreL9 He also played and sang back ups on her album. You can hear Phil's signiture gated reverb on songs like "I Know There's Something Going On".
My Favorite Phil Collins song.. you would think "In the Air Tonight!" which is second.. I very much identify with this song since I bought my first tape of this album.. As loud as possible... and sing as loud as possible! Really makes you feel better! Outstanding
When I first heard this song…a very long time ago!…65 now 😊…it told me a story about his pain..frustration and pain it touched me deeply. I love Phil Collins so much 💜💜💜
Phil Collins has been so underrated for his entire career. It saddens me that he can no longer play. I hope he gets some recognition from his peers (while he’s still with us) because he greatly deserves it 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
This was my "pissed off" song when I was younger. Somebody does you wrong and this song was it!! Helped me get over many angry issues!! I would sing it, yell it, cry it.. Great relief!
Phil helped me deal with a lot of crap in the 80s with his songs like this one that said exactly how I was feeling! And at the same time some of his more sentimental songs were on point for other times....His music was a mainstay on my Jam box through my college years!
Those first three solo albums by Phil Collins are masterpieces, without a weak song on any of them! I heard someone once describe them as 'All killer, no filler', & I have to agree! My favourite album track by PC is 'Why can't it wait till morning', wonderful song, great sentiment!
This is my war cry!!!…I don’t care anymore!!! I’m done…I appreciate where Phil is coming from through his song…it gave me the strength to do what I needed to do 💜.
Phil, you sure got that right. We all have been in a sad place such as this. Always a true understanding of your own true awareness of your reality. I love this.
This was from his solo album, entitled *Hello, I Must Be Going.* Recorded after his divorce. I'm sure he was still feeling the bad effects from the break up. But you're right, sometimes a person can lose themselves in a relationship. When that other person is too demanding, and not giving back as much as they take. I've been there myself, and was finally fed up, and broke it off. There's a really good song by REO Speedwagon called *"Time For Me To Fly, "* which sums up what it's like. Everyone has a breaking point, as to how much they can take. The key is to recognize when it's a lost cause, and walk away gracefully, before things become out of hand. A lot of people don't want to let go out of pride, big mistake. Because if it's already bad, it'll only get worse. It won't be good if the couple becomes a crime statistic...
Omg SO well put. Been there myself and years later I’m still dealing with the mental aspect of it. I’m going to check out that song, I think I need it. Wish you well Deborah❤️
When I felt major betrayal of the heart in the mid-1980s, this song was good medicine more me, played at the highest volume I could tolerate. It didn't take away the pain but it made it a bit easier to bear, as did the bottle of Ol' #7 sharing my grief. Thanks Phil. Let the music play.
Chester Thompson that black drummer was the unofficial fourth member of Genesis. He was the touring drummer that freed up Phil Collins to play the frontman. He also toured with Phil Collins on his solo tours as is the case here. They would occasionally get into drum battles on stage.
Phil gave us great music that is timeless- From his love songs like “Groovy kind of Love” to ones like this and in between - I was in my teens and getting into my 20’s- We played and used these songs to get whatever message across that we needed to, back in the day for sure! That wife and divorce he went through - man! 😳 “In the air tonight” was also about her. ❤️✌️
Great reaction! Right on point with your assessment of the song... Phil Collins is a great artist and story teller.. He gets his messages across in a unique way... He keeps it real!
Love the Australian music impressing you. We have a great country with great music. So happy to have found this channel. Yo, Jamel AKA Jamel, you rock and roll the oldies. Joy from sunny Queensland, Australia.
Yeah, this became my theme song after my husband left me with 3 little ones, 5, 3 and 6 months, for a 19 year old single mom with a little boy. I was 36. Yeah, it was the beginning of a tough journey. My 3 year old was diagnosed with autism 5 months later. It's been a long, tough road; but I came out stronger, and better, with 3 great adult kids I'm proud of. Yeah, my 27 year old is like an 8 year old most of the time, but he's my precious miracle just the same. Every limit they placed on him, he overcame. 😊 Now you know why it's my theme song.😉👍
Inspiring! & that’s My theme song of My life ! The day i can retire this will play ! They can talk all the BS ect as for Me I don’t care anymore & don’t care what you say !
Often in my life, when I feel I need to let go of attachment to relationships or opinions associated with job, romance, social inclusion, whatever, I'll unconsciously start singing the chorus of this song. Phil did a great job of powerfully capturing the sentiment.
I remember I was in Yokosuka Japan in the navy back in 84,85,86 and waking up when live aid was on waiting for zeppelin to play and shocked when Phil Collins was sitting on the drums, awesome
I'm almost 42(in Nov) but I LOVE ALL MUSIC,no genre picking here, but I love me some awesome classics that can NVR be duplicated!! Some real music and artist,not just singer's of other ppls stuff!! Phil is 1 u know when u hear him!! Awesome awesome job!!! Thnx
This song I used to listen to before I would go out and play a football game when I was in school back in the 80’s. And then the rest of the team would listen to it, and it would motivate us all
Side note here.... this song is directly related to "If Leaving Me Is Easy".. it's the last song of Face Value, Phil's first solo record and this is the first track on Hello, I must Be Going!, his second record. Genius level right there.

Phil Collins is a monster, thanks Jamel
can you put your deltoids up for sale lol
Two hearts beating as one by Phil Collins great song is also part of a movie he acted in of an actual multi$$ burglary.
He was in the middle of a divorce when he wrote this song, similar to In the Air Tonight. Yes, he was PISSED.
Genesis was on a break because Phil had moved to Vancouver to try to patch up his crumbling family situation, and when it became clear that things were not gonna work out, he wrote a bunch of poems (for lack of a better description) as a way of dealing with it. Shortly after that, Genesis' manager was checking on him and saw his notebook. He pointed out to Phil that they would be great lyrics and he should write songs for them.
Takes a hell of a talent to take such pain and negativity and still be so coherent, rhythmic and honest.
You say 'pissed', we say 'angry'
We say 'angry', you say 'mad'
You say 'drunk', we say 'pissed'!
Isn't English fun?!?! 🤣
I’d say he was hurt. Makes you pissed when you are hurting.
This song got me through my divorce. Pretty cool he wrote it during his. I could swear he was talking to my ex-wife for me. Kind of an anthem. It is how you feel when someone fucks with you for years.....Great workout song as well.
Still say this is his best solo. Just brutal in his honesty and putting it all out there. And, of course, that drumming.
I like “in the air tonight” it’s great
Totally !! everybody thinks in the air was his big solo 'big' drum thing, rubbish this was way better.....the drums are hard n dirty and express his anger
The end when he screams the lyrics... My favorite!!
Agreed 💯
"You got to love yourself enough to know when enough is enough" -Jamel AKA Jamal. This really struck me tonight due to personal circumstances. Thank you.
Sorry Lo - we're with you. We all go thru some shit don't we. Good vibes sending over to you!
@@christyhancock7387 Thank you!
Yeah, that just made me cry when he said that.
Me too
This song and the lyrics sums up my 27 years of marriage, but I'm doing alright by myself! Cuz I don't care anymore. No more no more.
Phil Collins is really good at recognizing dark emotions and channeling them into his music. One song that he made with Genesis that is super dark, but also pretty compelling, is "Mama".
I was listening to that song at work this morning. Amazing
true!
Mama isn't just pretty compelling, it's a stone-cold Masterpiece!
Tonight, Tonight, tonight is another one. It's about struggling with addiction.
"Mama" is, was and always will be my favorite. I've always wondered why it got so little recognition and air play. I'll never forget where I heard it first. 1986, An episode of "Magnum P.I."
Props to Chester Thompson for laying down the drums for Phil for so many years. Magic when they play together.
Chester has been teaching at Belmont University in Tennessee. My nephew was one of his students quite recently. Small flipping world.
Chester is the man. He is damn brilliant. Saw The Carousel Tour in Philadelphia 1990 at The Spectrum. Freaking awesome..
Phil actually did the drumming on this song.
too bad its all over for the bad blood
Chester Thompson is one of the most underrated drummers of all time. He's absolutely incredible.
What makes this song so powerful:
1) The constant underlying "war drum" sound.
2) The "build up" of not caring anymore as you reach the point of KNOWING it is about to end.
3) The "explosion" of not caring anymore because you want to destroy it all in your wake.
4) The "complex" emotions of frustration vs acceptance of a situation.
5) The "stream of calm" that flows as the realization that "not caring anymore" gives you freedom.
6) The "payback" of letting someone know that their "games and bs" simply don't work anymore.
As a black kid in the 80's, Phil became one of my absolute favorite artists whether solo or with Genesis. "Take Me Home" and "I Wish It Would Rain Down" were my all time favorites, but "I Don't Care Anymore" isn't far behind and always makes an impression. Great reaction.
My favorite Phil Collins song 🎵 ❤
Took the words right out of my mouth!! My go to when I hate everyone and everything 🤘🏼🤘🏼🙌🏼😂
@@Stefnmaddy don’t let evil people fill you with hate.
@@Shawney-jf6kc nah. Not my style. Take out my anger by listening to great music to express just what I’m feeling in the moment. Appreciate the words though. 🤘🏼🤘🏼😘
Another great one. I'm 72 and I sometimes forget how much great music I was privileged to listen to.
Nobody writes a F U song like Phil. I the drums in this song better than In The Air Tonight.
Except he keeps going back to the woman who has treated him horribly.....
The ultimate FU song (literally) was You're Breaking My Heart by Harry Nilsson
He's got plenty of new material to work with now, after his on again/off again wife cheated on him, secretly married another guy, then locked him out of his own house.
@@laurakali6522 Too many do that, men and women.
@@laurakali6522 I think by this time her lawyers had done enough for him to say 'enough'.
In case anyone wants to know, that instrument that Phil is playing with his fists is a Moog Taurus. It's a bass synthesizer that is usually played with the feet. It produces those deep, droning synth bass sounds.
It is Mo Foster, the bass player, striking the Moog
Moog Taurus isnt a Musical Instrument, its a Instrument to test the Static Integretiy of Buildings if setup right ;)
His technique is amusing.
Yes! When you're fortunate enough to reach "middle age" you care less and less about opinions of others. Being single and fiercely independent multiplies this.
True. I find myself not caring about so much! everything in the media, my kids melodrama. Their fathers sobriety, I don't care! Dude you're insured, leave me alone!
Preach
YES. It's cathartic....LIBERATING.
Amen Paula. You reach an age when most of your sunsets are behind you and there's a limited amount left. You really know what you want and that means you know what you don't and won't put up with. Don't be too fierce with your independence

It's a much better place to be.
You can never go wrong with some Phil Collins good stuff
You gotta love yourself enough to know when enough is enough----Thanks J, Thats exactly what I needed to hear today.

"You gotta love yourself enough to know when enough is enough." Jamel
That's the quotable I was lookin for brother. 👍
The song is unbelievably dope.
He is there.
That song was so real to my life ...loved it
Phil is the king of cathartic writing.
Those were war drums. D-I-V-O-R-C-E!!
Nothing like taking all that hurt & anger and making an album that solidly launches your solo career.
This man is the definition of talent He has done it all when comes to music When he was young he played the drums for Muddy Waters at the blues festival held in Chicago every year and he also played the drums for Eric Clapton at one of Eric’s concerts He had just God given talent and some of the best song writing skills on the planet He has done it all when it comes to music
"Lonely Man There On The Corner", "Misunderstanding", "Take Me Home"
All of these are brilliant brilliant songs.
@@michaelscott4853 And he has many more.!
So many more. It’s almost not even fair to the rest of the musicians at the time
Also “Something happened on the way to heaven”
'Take Me Home' live in Berlin. Almost the whole video is on Chester Thompson, just pounding the devil out of those drums.
You called it right, Jamel. Emotional pain, physical pain, it doesn't matter - If it goes on and on and on, sooner or later you have to break free or break down.

He IS the Swiss Army Knife. I LOVE his sound.
This song saved my life. I would've ended everything if I hadn't heard this song. It is empowering.
YES! YES! PHIL COLLINS!! ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!! I love everything he did with Genesis and his Solo career!! 🤟🤟🤟🎶🎶🎶🎶
This song is one of my favorites. His vocals on this gives me chills.
still gives me the chills to this day. Might be the most emotional and passionate (in an angry sense) ever written!!

I can't speak for Phil, but I reckon he would have rather have kept Andrea than any of the money he made from his hurt when she left him
@@DeidreL9 He also played and sang back ups on her album. You can hear Phil's signiture gated reverb on songs like "I Know There's Something Going On".

Never piss him off or he'll make sure the world knows about it!!!! Sadly, his pain is our pleasure!!!! Spectacular song!!!🤟🎵🎼🎶
Phil's rehearsal performance of True Colors is amazing. I think it's in Italy. It's intimate and just made me appreciate his cover of it even more.
When I first heard this song…a very long time ago!…65 now 😊…it told me a story about his pain..frustration and pain it touched me deeply. I love Phil Collins so much 💜💜💜
This song is just pure emotion held back for years and finally bursting at the seams.
My favorite Phil song all time! Air tonight close 2nd. This is unknown gem is great... and when it's played on Miami Vice
Phil Collins has been so underrated for his entire career. It saddens me that he can no longer play. I hope he gets some recognition from his peers (while he’s still with us) because he greatly deserves it
🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
Great song that is often overlooked
He went through a nasty breakup.
That usually ends up being the birth of absolutely great songs and albums
Can you say “Rumors”?
This was my "pissed off" song when I was younger. Somebody does you wrong and this song was it!! Helped me get over many angry issues!! I would sing it, yell it, cry it.. Great relief!

My favorite Phil Collins song, Thankyou for playing it Jamel ! 😘🙏❤✌👵
Classic. "I am done with you" song. Always loved it.

"Abacab" and "Turn it on again" are great songs with his band Genesis . Both are on "Three sides live" album if you want great live versions.
Yes.
Second that! Awesome versions with a live performance "oumpgh"!
You NAILED it...you have to absolutely know who you are and know yourself enough to say “I’m done”
One my All time fav's by Phil! Drums in this are everything! The words are powerful. Great reaction!
Those first three solo albums by Phil Collins are masterpieces, without a weak song on any of them!
I heard someone once describe them as 'All killer, no filler', & I have to agree!
My favourite album track by PC is 'Why can't it wait till morning', wonderful song, great sentiment!
“I wish it would rain down” is awesome by him too
This is my war cry!!!…I don’t care anymore!!! I’m done…I appreciate where Phil is coming from through his song…it gave me the strength to do what I needed to do 💜.
Still gives me chills!..Raw..passionate and straight to the soul honest…love him so much 💜
Always been one of my favs, never tire of it
The mighty Chester Thompson keeping time on the drums!!!
Phil's drum style is raw , it has an african warrior beat
My FAV Phil Collins song ever !!
One of my favorites!
Great song - one of his classics.
One of Phil’s best songs!
When I quit my job after 25 plus years, I turned in phone but left a message if anyone called. It ended with this song playing. Very satisfying.
Phil Collins - something happened on the way to Heaven ! Amazing song !!!
Phil, you sure got that right. We all have been in a sad place such as this. Always a true understanding of your own true awareness of your reality. I love this.
This was from his solo album, entitled

I was lucky enough to see him perform live sitting in the fourth row at Radio City music Hall. He puts on one of the best shows I ever saw
The wonderful Chester Thompson on drums, his second drummer when Genesis toured for 20+ years.
I met Phil twice. Some of the greatest moments of my life.
I know the feeling of this song all too well... had someone rip my heart out.

Phil's harsh and honest emotion here goes right to the heart.
I'm almost 42(in Nov) but I LOVE ALL MUSIC,no genre picking here, but I love me some awesome classics that can NVR be duplicated!! Some real music and artist,not just singer's of other ppls stuff!! Phil is 1 u know when u hear him!! Awesome awesome job!!! Thnx
Oooh.I just love his voice. Impeccable vocals
Great song to blast in the car when your done and mad !!
one of my absolute favorite songs by him...thnx for doin it...love ur vids
Whenever I have a shitty day I listen to this song cause he is feeling what I am feeling at that time and it actually makes me feel better :)
This song is so much MORE at 50 than it was when I was a teenager. Thank you for doing it ☺️
This song I used to listen to before I would go out and play a football game when I was in school back in the 80’s. And then the rest of the team would listen to it, and it would motivate us all
Side note here.... this song is directly related to "If Leaving Me Is Easy".. it's the last song of Face Value, Phil's first solo record and this is the first track on Hello, I must Be Going!, his second record. Genius level right there.
