LYRICS:
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...

This version makes me feel like I should be standing on the rooftop of a skyscraper while its thunder storming and I'm wearing my hoodie at night looking out at the city. Simply Epic.

[@sethlan]

that is true.... This song is so amazing! It needs way way way more views.

Her voice is beautiful and it takes NOTHING away from the song. The original is one of the best songs of ALL time and this just adds to its legacy. Amazing cover, gave me goosebumps.

[@yvettelewis3529]

The Phil Collins original is my fave track of all time. This is the only cover version I've ever heard that I love!

[@SoRealQuest]

I didn't think this amazing song could get any better, but she proved me wrong. I usually stay away from covers, but this was exceptionally done. Her voice and the feel of the song give me goosebumps. Kudos to you.

[@Jack__Reaper]

***** Agreed, ti's better than the original. VERY rare indeed.

[@zacharyiqbal8472]

***** You can't be better than the original, it's not possible in my opinion. Phil Collins wrote the song and sang it with a passion that no one can ever top. This is his song, he is the best at singing it. Kelly Sweet did an AMAZING job of singing it, but it's just not the same.

[@ruthbrown9794]

No better way to put it

[@xaviersamuels2202]

yeah normally it gotta be done by that original person/people

[@rocknrollgigolo7185]

Listen to David Garrett do an instrumental to this song on a violin. Wow!!

[@elegantchanell]

Yes. Just... YES.

[@kdmusicluvr017]

I love this song by Phil Collins, Phil Collins is a legend. Usually anyone trying to re do his songs I wouldn't care about, because no one can do it better than him, but this girl did a pretty good job. She does a great girl version of the song, let's call it. Nicely done, Kelly Sweet.

[@tiffa808]

is it just me or does this song sounds like it should be played when you're a) in the throws of passion or b) plotting vengeance while looking out over the city as it rains?

[@pitbull198932]

Choice b

[@pitbull198932]

pitbull198932 i was thinkin da same thing

[@pumpkinhead625]

The answer is c) this song should be playing as an evil arch-villain stands in the rooftop garden of his mid-town high-rise penthouse, looking down over the city as, one by one, distant explosions tremble the streets, and the ensuing flames light up the nighttime city skyline, signifying that his plan for ultimate vengeance has been set into motion.

[@kimwi92]

Well both--well the thought of epicness comes to mind when you mentioned choice B! Check the preview for Petals on the Wind and the trailer for NBC's A.D. The Bible Continues.

[@zacharyiqbal8472]

Same here Red John... oh, that name... you must either love or hate The Mentalist.

[@BronchitisMan]

Zachary Iqbal Hate it, after the ridiculous Red John reveal.

[@zacharyiqbal8472]

It takes a lot to make me hate a show, but I stopped before the reveal of Red John. So when I read the previous comment (yours), I was surprised that they actually had a red john to show. My idea of an amazing ending would be if Patrick Jane was actually insane and killed his own family, without realizing it. and continued killing people afterwards, always pointing to the (up until now) mysterious "red john," only to be red john himself.

[@zacharyiqbal8472]

imagine the look on Lisbon's face... Lisbon: "you are red john?" Patrick: "no, of course not" (kills Lisbon) "well, maybe..."

[@BronchitisMan]

Sorry for getting your hopes up lol. I've quit The Mentalist. Uselss fvcking show. My issue with the whole thing was, the writer (Bruno Heller) had spent FIVE SEASONS building up the Red John mystery. He kept dropping vague clues here and there as to his identity throughout the course of FIVE SEASONS...only to discard it all at the finale. He literally decided who Red John was going to be at the start of the 6th season (He said it in an interview). This means all this time he'd been dicking us around with clues that had nothing to do with anything. And who does he choose as Red John? A guy who appeared in a grand total of 5 episodes (only 1 episode prior to the 6th season), who was a moron and nothing like genius he was made out to be. I don't think Jane being Red John would've been a good reveal because it would leave a lot of plot holes. There were many occasions in which it was shown that Jane was at one place whereas Red John was at another. So if Jane was Red John, it would mean he was at two places at the same time. In my opinion, the best candidate for Red John was Ray Haffner. He fit the profile, he was in a position of power and he seemed to have a connection with Lisbon. An even better choice would've been Bob Kirkland (because Kevin Corrigan is an amazing actor), but he only appeared in 7 episodes.

Same. I still like the original. This one seems to have too much flux in the vocals, and an overpowering in the music, especially the bass effects.

[@MegaOrwell1984]

Oddly enough that doesn't really bother me (but then again I don't have such a trained ear and really see music on a emotional level.) but I'm not saying that is better than noticing the details.

[@firstmusic00]

Just set a few things straight....This piece was written in 1980 by Phil Collins (Genesis drummer) and released in 1981 on his first solo album, "Face Value". It IS NOT about him watching someone drown, as the urban legend will not die. Phil as stated many times over the years, including in the 20th anniversary "Classic Album" interview done in 2000 that this song had no direct meaning. It was written during a very painful divorce from his wife and was simply a song that was composed from the pain of that situation...like much of Phil's early work. And for someone like me who's old enough to remembers the original? As many times as this song has been covered and/or sampled....nothing will EVER touch Phil's original take on it.

[@BestBoiBen]
