The song is actually NOT about the drowning guy. That was a myth that Eminem cemented as if it were true. The song is a breakup song that he wrote after his divorce in 1980.

[@codydrummer]

Beat me to it. Phil himself said this was about his divorce.

[@markkukoponen]

Well, those words were put in the mouth of Stan the deranged superfan in the song Stan, so I think it was just part of the joke that he would understand them way too superficially.

[@robbiem9293]

Phil talked about the meaning in Jimmy Fallon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX21qpKIoNSHgaM

[@PhantomOfTheMall]

As per Phil’s own words, he himself explain the meaning behind the lyrics. He says he just opened his mouth and the lyrics poured out. Indeed, he said the song is overall about his divorce, but the lyrics are still kind of cryptic in parts. (As anyone who has gone through a divorce can tell ya, your mind goes to a lot of different places…some dark places…as you try to process what’s happening. Especially when it’s you that’s willing to try and make the marriage work, but your spouse isn’t willing. Some dark places, indeed.)

[@violetleaves2025]

I grew up in Michigan and this urban legend was treated like a FACT from the moment the song came out. I was actually telling my kids about it when I realized … this is probably not even true, googled it, and was like…guess what bullshit your mom believed until today.

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Phil was the drummer for Genesis for many years, then the lead singer, Peter Gabriel, quit the band. They tried to find a new lead singer, and finally Phil offered to do it. History made.

[@natebaker5677]

Quite true. Phil also demystifies the rumor of the song meaning a few times. Words are sometimes poetry: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX21qpKIoNSHgaM The combo of drummer/trumpeter/singer/lyricist/composer is off the charts. But I love the old stuff best with Chester Thompson as the "backbone of Genesis live": Genesis: Drum Duet/Los Endos live 1987 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaG2kJiHiZWIsJo

[@bscott5965]

Do The West Side from his 1990 tour. Shows Phil and his amazing band at their best. Featuring Earth, Wind and Fire's horn section, which Phil "borrowed" from them for his solo efforts. I'm pleased to say I witnessed this legend one last time in concert. 11-15-21 United Center in Chicago with Genesis. 10-13-19 saw Phil's Still Not Dead Yet tour in Denver. At 70, the man still has it.

[@afterhours21711]

2 great quotes from Phil, one modest one hilarious but true, "I'm not a singer who plays a bit of drums. I'm a drummer that sings a bit" and "That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died'."

Actually although he can sing it perfectly well live, the studio and live versions are using an early version of an autotune-like program for distortion. He was an early user of it. Listen to the studio version again and tell me that you don't hear autotune.

[@mariang3946]

@@cockneycharm3970 Freddie is in a class of his own

[@Old_Man001]

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 70 now. His son is on the Domino tour with Genesis currently. 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).

[@ms.one-town901]

Wow. Thanks for that detailed information. I love when folks share their knowledge with others. Phil Collins is one of my all time favorites. It just saddened me when I saw a picture of him performing recently from his chair on stage. No longer able to play the drums. However, it’s still a blessing he’s able to still sing on tour and he’s passed the drumming torch over to his son.

[@mmecapt]

It’s sad, isn’t it, that God gives such an amazing talent and then turns around and takes it away.

[@DGMansell]

[@cindipossidento5688]

He also wrote the score for the children’s movie TARZAN !!!!

[@metalguru85]

It's incredible he didn't skip a note vocally as he's playing the drums. That must be so difficult.

[@TheBlackQueen]

The drum part in this song is pretty simple, so it's really not much harder to sing on top of it than if you were just clapping along to it. If you want a more difficult drum+singing moment from him, listen to Genesis' Dance On A Volcano

[@metalguru85]

@@TheBlackQueen I know Genesis extremely well. I was meaning generally playing and doing lead vocals is incredibly hard.

[@singingwordwright148]

Agreed. The motion on drumming is really sort of antithetic to the stability you need to maintain vocals. The fact that his voice is not reacting to these violent motions of his body is quite amazing.

[@Gnossiene369]

Try walking and singing any song. Now x3 that shit. It's insane. I sing, I can't imagine what his voice is.

His son Nick plays with Genesis now. He is great !! Had a wonderful teacher …..🥁

[@TheBlackQueen]

Phil Collins was originally the drummer (and later the lead singer) for Progressive Rock turned Pop Rock band Genesis, going back all the way to his debut in the band in 1971. I'd definitely suggest reacting to some Genesis, specifically the early 70s songs but there are some later songs that are worth listening to! Some Genesis classics: -Firth Of Fifth -The Musical Box -Supper's Ready -Land of Confusion -Dance On A Volcano -Dancing With The Moonlit Night -One For The Vine Also necessary to point out is that prior to 1976, lead vocals were performed by Peter Gabriel, who also became a big popular solo artist. He had songs like Sledgehammer, Big Time, and Solsbury Hill that are still legendary today!

Yes, I typed most of this before you guys already touched up on your knowledge of Genesis, but I'll keep it up regardless.

This was the song where everyone absolutely pounded out that drum beat in the car, driver included. You'd pull up to a red light and see the cars next to you doing the same, because they were listening to the same station. It was like it was required, like everyone singing Bohemian Rhapsody if it happened to come on the radio. Or air shredding Freebird during the solo. It became something like a religious rite; we all did it and we still do and pass it along to our kids, too.

[@oliviavillarreal9433]

Absolutely fantastic! Brought tears to my eyes! Amazing artist/musician! Iconic! Sheer genius/GOAT!

[@darkwyng98]

The thing is, he hadn't fully left Genesis when this came out. His output, creatively, in the 80's to the 90's is astounding. Abacab (G) came out in 1981, Face Value (P) as well. Hello, I Must be Going (P) was '82, Genesis (G) 1983. No Jacket Required (P) 1985, Invisible Touch (G) 1986, But Seriously (P) 1989, and We Can't Dance (G) 1991. After that Genesis was pretty much done, except for 1997's Calling All Stations whereas Phil's continued on into the 2000's. And the thing is again, that album streak isn't anything to laugh at. There are no fillers. Those albums are filled with hit after hit, excellent track after excellent track. Even if you don't react to them, you should listen to those albums. I guarantee they'll blow your mind.

[@MattSingh1]

*When all of his work is combined (solo stuff, Genesis work, producer work, collaborative/duet stuff) Collins spent more time in the Top 40 in the US in 1980s than any other artist. With Genesis, he sold out four consecutive nights at the 80,000-capacity Wembley Stadium in July 1987 (which was a record at the time), while across 86/87 Genesis had five top 5 singles in the US charts from the Invisible Touch album, which is Beatles-eqsue. It's no exaggeration to say Genesis were the biggest band on the planet in 86/87.*

[@heather333]

They will. How lucky was I to have been a teenager/twenties in the middle/end of the 80s. Genesis, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Chris Rea, Simple Minds... It's so good to see young people being introduced to this music and sometimes I think 70s and 80s music gets lost between 60s and modern music.

Every single part of this music is so basic, but the whole is so much greater than the sum of it's parts.

As others have said this is about his divorce. Another epic drum-based one with a similar sentiment is "I Don't Care Anymore"--there are live versions, but even the studio version is pretty epic.

[@joejacobsen6822]

Look into it further. He says in one video that it isn't about anything. He did write the song while going through his divorce. But that is about all it has to do with it. Phil said in 2016: "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."

[@tombanaski3251]

@@joejacobsen6822 Agreed---not literally "about his divorce", but rather written while going THROUGH his divorce. So it is borne out of emotions he felt during his divorce--I think his pain resonates in most of his Face Value album, if you've ever listened to it all. I think any one of us who have gone through similar pain can find the music in this and even still on his second solo album (Hello, I Must Be Going) resonates with feeling that pain.

Phil is such a laid back, cheeky guy, and he's still got it after all this time, his voice is just so powerful. I heard the song was about the break up of one of his wife's or partners as heard he's been married a few times. Do you remember his song called " Mama" ? It's a song about a creepy guy obsessed with a prostitute but calls her "mama" ( that's what I heard it's about) He sings it SO strongly and powerfully it's mind blowing, then there's the creepy laugh he does in it too.

I will be telling around about my age, 🤪 but I was blessed to be able to see the original group Genesis at Winterland in San Francisco. To me, Phil Collins has always been a focal point in his music and a good songwriter from the very jump along with being a high-tech kind of a guy, it’s so sad to see that he has to endure an illness that took him away from something that he loved so much his music. Hopefully he can still be able to write and continue to make song. Enjoy your reactions you take care and be safe.🤠

Saw Genesis when I was in high school. I'm retired now and my love for Phil has not changed, he is the GOAT!!

[@Lola-ep8ln]

Seen Phil Collins solo and Genesis last year and even though he couldn't walk and his son done the drums, it was absolute perfection. One of the greats :)

[@robbiem9293]

Phil is started out at 19 in 1970 as the drummer for Genesis, becoming the lead singer in 1976. He started his solo career in 1981 with this song. While still with Genesis until the mid nineties.This whole show is on KZbin. Phil is iconic, his live performances are perfection. Genesis shows are fantastic. My favorite live performances of theirs is - Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4DFaoiYqp2Zabc

Every time I watch this video it reminds me of the first time I watched it. I was an anxiety ridden, waiting for him to get to his drum set. Yelling out loud to nobody in particular, “he’s walking to his drums too slow 😰!!!” When he’s walking up that last set of stairs, and he turns back and sings, “I remember, don’t worry, how could I ever forget…” like he is teasing the drums. Also, he only took over singing for Genesis after Peter Gabriel left.

Loved your reaction! ❤❤❤❤ I’m a 65-year-old grandma, ❤❤❤ this music and love you two!

This is off the live DVD 'Phil Collins .. Finally ... The First Farewell Tour Paris 2004'. I have it and the complete double DVD is so full of great live music from Phil Collins. It is one of the best live DVD's I have ever seen. It is available on KZbin.

[@cherylfisk7698]

This was a live concert in France for over 20,000 people. Phil was 53 at the time.

[@brendasheehan2844]

Such an iconic song even if ur just listening to it on the radio but seeing this live version is absolutely incredible so jealous of those people who were there brilliant reaction guys 😊😊😊

[@MultiSmurf67]

phil collins was iconic when i was a teenager in the early 80s- i remember the first time i heard this song-vinyl 33 1/3 and i listened to it over and over.

[@marcieharreld286]

The Eagles drummer, Don Henley "took over" the song "Hotel California"!!!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@yayaglass]

In a Phil Collins Interview, available here on YT, he explains that he has no idea what this is about. He was playing around with the Drums, found the cool run, expanded that to the include the other instruments and then just added words that made sense for the VIBE. He was really amused by all the rumors about the lyrics. Now, I am too!

[@bryanthomas8859]

I actually got to see him perform this song live just before the pandemic started. He was getting older so his son was on the drums and it was still awesome. I have it up on Facebook.

[@Scott_Forsell]

The twinsthenewtrend reaction to this is a classic. They freaked on the drums. Got a video chat from Obama out of their freak out. It was cool. It was extra adorable.

[@TheBlackQueen]

I had to unsubscribe from those guys because it was getting too dumb for me. When it was just the one guy, I enjoyed the content because it was just his thoughts and he was able to convey them a lot easier. When his brother got back on the channel, they spent most of the time just joking around when reacting.

[@ms.one-town901]

@@TheBlackQueen I totally understand. They never really provide a true reaction or give relevant feedback. They freak out and end the video once the songs end. Not sure why they blew up. Glad they’re able to make a living but not worth the hype! Just my opinion! 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@KyleBurnsMusic]

This is actually a sister song to a track called "i dont care anymore" its not about someone who drowned. He wrote these during his divorce

[@davepointon8905]

God what a voice you can’t teach that talent is 100% God given period.

[@karlg9354]

My favourite Music Artist ever and favourite song. Ive seen him live and was truly amazing. Best concert Ive ever been too.

[@henryviii6341]

Phil KNEW this was the moment he had been waiting for all his life. HE KNEW he might never be able to do this again. and he can’t now. One of the greatest ever live performances.

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

The first time i heard thisxwas on Miami Vice. It was the first time you could watch it and listen to it on the radio, simultaneously. So i had it CRANKED. Overnight, it went to #1.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Epic 😮 makes you feel like you have never heard this song before 🤯

[@cindipossidento5688]

You saw the video, u heard the video, And u FELT THE VIDEO !!!!!!!! EPIC 💥😘

[@toastybastard9559]

I fully believe you could get all those people moshing to this song with that magical drum fill

[@cyhawk16]

Best music ever, so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's.

[@glyngasson8450]

People sometimes forget how good a drummer Phil Collins is, listen to Nuclear Burn by Brand X, Collins playing on that track is unbelievable.

[@jdavies1132]

Phil Collins pure genius , legend .

[@01chittock]

Music is an emotion that you can feel…..when it’s good and righteous! There are some people who know how to hit the spot…..it’s a spiritual experience when it makes your body react in such a way it feels so so good!

[@dansanderson4427]

Check out Phil when he was in Genesis. Live at Wembley in the 80's. Over 80,000 fans in attendance for 3 or 4 shows it's to notch. Mama , Domino Tonight Tonight Tonight pick any song in the concert you won't go wrong. Enjoy all your doing guys. Much appreciated thanks
