the songs bout his ex. "you told me you were drowning, i would not lend a hand" the emotions are still as raw and pure as they were before he wrote it. just the pure intensity of his face, eyes, and movements screams he still feels it today. the emotions of loosing his best friend, soul mate, and the foreshadowing of what his kids would go thru with the divorce just thrown out there for all the world to see. i dont know bout yall, but knowing the backstory you can feel his emotions. he taps into it so easily. tells the story of his life and you dont just hear it but you FEEL it. a man who can tell a tale and evoke raw emotions like that is a legend

In an interview, Phil Collins said that he didn't really know what this song was about specifically. He was going through a nasty divorce and some other personal issues at the time. It's mostly just pain, rage, and disillusionment all rolled up into a song. You can hear it in there, too. Even now.

[@vannturnersalch5333]

Facts

[@mafiwplayer3654]

This pos phill Collins was such an anti-Reagan, and this song is a call to arms against Reagan helping bring down the Soviet union. If you don't know about his anti-Reagan stances, watch the video about "Land of confusion." I stopped viewing his videos or listening to his music a very long time ago. He and every leftist marxist who ridiculed, mucked, and protested against Reagan ought to say "Thank You for giving us, the world, a little time of peace. Where it not for Reagan, the USSR would've torched many nations in their quest to stay a super power, as it would've kicked and thrown temper tantrums as it was finally eating from within.

[@MaxineWatt-jd8ho]

Exactly . Brilliant song

[@happy777abc]

I read an article that he said it was about him witnessing a bad crime. The criminal didn't think anyone saw. Phil did. That's why he said "if you were drowning I would not lend a hand"

Phil Collins is a genius; the arrangement; blue lights; whistling, the fans; he has total control, his fans let us know what's up; his voice changes when he walks up the steps; when he gets on the drums he doesn't hold back; 1st reactions are priceless

[@maxbrazil3712]

In 1990 I was at a California Pizza Kitchen in West Hollywood when this song came on. When the killer drum riff kicked in the entire place shook with people beating on the tables and bar in time with Phil. It was one of the coolest group music experiences I've ever had, and I've been to a shitload of rock concerts during my 59 years on planet Earth, starting with Alice Cooper in 1976.

It’s difficult to play the drums and sing at the same time. Phil is unbelievable. I’m 45 years old and grew up listening to Genesis and Phil’s solo albums. The 80’s-90’s and the 00’s were amazing for music. Especially the 90’s.

[@jdice6868]

I was in HS in the late 80s. I used to write "Phil Collins is God! Genesis is All!" on my notebooks. Man it was fun. I've seen a few bands twice including Phil Collins (solo), U2, Aerosmith, Billy Joel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, & Journey.

[@tomking7080]

@@jdice6868 those are amazing bands. Music was so much better from the 60’s-2000’s. Especially the 90’s in my opinion. Every genre in the 90’s was on fire

[@jdice6868]

@@tomking7080 I agree. There was great musice in the 80s, but in the early 90s when I was in college I remember talking about how it felt like we were living in a rock n roll renaissance. It was more than grunge too. I loved the Seattle sound that permeated the era, but there was something about the music industry that cause a tsunami of creativity. Such great stuff. These there is some excellent music, but how often do you hear a guitar solo? How often is there a truly innovative drumbeat drop? It just is not the same. My generation grew up during the rise of rap, new wave, ska, grunge, and more. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I also put half my money away for school when I started working at 12. I put most of the rest toward concerts. I never would have seen so many if Ticketmaster had the monopoly stranglehold in the 80s and 90s that they have on the industry now. It's criminal how they turned crap arena seats into a luxury item. We gotta break up that crap or only rich people will ever enjoy live music.

[@tomking7080]

@@jdice6868 I agree with you 100%. I’m Gen X born in 1977. Man my friends and I went to a lot of concerts in the 90’s. We went to the first lollapalooza here in Phoenix in 1991. Which was my freshman year of high school. We went in 1992,which I think was the best one of the 90’s. It was the Chilli Peppers,Ministry,Ice Cube ,Soundgarden,Pearl Jam,Cypress Hill,Boo-Yaa Tribe,House of Pain,Rage Against the Machine,Stoned Temple Pilots,Porno for Pyros and the Jim Rose Sode Show which was incredible. I had never seen anything like that before. I remember once IceCube finished his set on the main stage you could hear on the speakers coming from the second stage which was a little distance away the beginning to “Hunger strike “ by Temple of the Dog obviously. They were not on the list of bands to play here in Phoenix but since Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were there I guess that it was on. Then you hear on the loudspeakers “Temple of the Dog” on stage two and everyone started rushing over that way. There’s actually a video on KZbin of this happening. If you type in Lollapalooza 1992 Phoenix,Az Desert Sky Pavilion Temple of the Dog you will be able to see it. We seen Metallica 4-5 times in the 90’s. The funny thing was that Dave Mustaine,Megadeth,was my next door neighbor here in Paradise Valley which is a suburb in Phoenix and Megadeth is one of my favorite bands and we seen them in 1995 on their Youthanasia tour and Korn opened up for them here at America West Arena. That was my first time seeing Korn live but it wasn’t the last. We went to the infamous Woodstock ‘99 because I was living in Boston at the time and we were not far from New York and it was Woodstock man so we had to go and check it out. One of the craziest “festivals “ I ever went to. A good friend of mine was involved with Woodstock so we got all access passes and we’re on the second stage right next to Korn when they came out and if you have ever seen the video of Korn opening up with “Blind” that crowd went nuts and that was the biggest human wave I’d ever seen in my life. I felt like I had vertigo just watching the crowd. It was amazing. But yeah we went to U-Fest,Ozzfest a bunch of times. When I lived in London in 1998 we went to Glastonbury which was insane. Man we had a blast in the 90’s. I love all genres of music besides country. I just can’t get into it honestly. I tried because my wife loved it but it’s just not for me and that’s ok. I grew up on hip hop,rock,metal,grunge,hair metal and the 90’s in my opinion had the best music ever. From The Notorious Big,2Pac,IceCube,NWA,Dr. Dre,Snoop,Wu-Tang,OutKast,EPMD,KRS-One,Big Daddy Kane,Eric B and Rakim,DMX,Cypress Hill,Fugees,Bone Thugs,Tribe called Quest, Roots,Public Enemy,Beastie Boys,House of Pain,Gang Star, naughty by nature,Mobb Deep,36 Mafia,Nipsey Hustle,Ghetto Boys, Souls of Mischief,Luniz,MOP,Compton Most Wanted,Goodie Mob,UGK,Junior Mafia,Busta Rhymes, The Lox, so many more amazing hip hop artists. We had Metallica,Megadeth,Deftones,Tool,STP,Alice in Chains(my favorite Seattle band),Soundgarden,Nirvana,Pearl Jam,Jane’s Addiction,Motley Crew,Korn,Chilli Peppers,Green Day,Smashing Pumpkins,Radiohead (which I have a amazing story about them),Pantera, Cranberries,Oasis,Sonic Youth,Bush,No Doubt,311, Collective Soul,4 Non Blondes,Tracy Chapman,Matchbox 20,Seven Mary Three,Portishead,NIN,Blink-182 and so many other amazing bands and artists. I’m not even going to list all the Pop singers and groups like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC because I would be here for a hour typing. Can you name 10 new /newer bands/groups today that are in the same caliber of the artists/bands/groups we had in the 90’s? I can’t. I’m blessed that I was born when I was and got to grow up in the 80’s-90’s man. Before all the bullshit we have today going on. It was a more relaxed peaceful time and people were not getting trampled on and dying going to a concert. We had crowds that were 5-6 sometimes 10 times larger than the crowds they have today and that shit didn’t happen. That crowd at Woodstock’99 was ridiculous. Definitely the biggest crowd I’ve ever been a part of. That crowd in Moscow in 1991 for Metallica of over a million people,i think it was 1.5 million people,was INSANE!!! But yeah those were amazing times bro. Who are your favorite bands,artists,groups? My favorite rapper is Biggie then PAC followed by IceCube. My favorite bands are Alice In Chains,when Layne died it sucked so bad. I felt even worse when Chris Cornell died. He is my favorite singer of all times. Him and Layne were incredible. Tool is my second favorite band the the Deftones but I’m biased on that because I know Chino. Korn is up there with me. Megadeth,Metallica,Slayer,Pantera are my favorite Metal bands. “vulgar display of power “ is probably my favorite metal album of all times. It’s just so damn good. I love Sublime. “40oz to freedom “ is also one of my favorite records of all time. I can listen to it over and over in which I’ve done many times on long road trips. It’s insane just how fast the time went. 25-30 years went by in the blink of an eye. I would like to hear your favorite bands and get your opinion on mine. Thanks bro!!!

Supposedly Phil returned from a tour and found out his 1rst wife had been having been having an affair and left him. When Phil found out who the guy was he realized he knew him.

I was going to say the same thing. The song was his release from the pain and turmoil of his life at the time. He said the song became very therapeutic during that time. He mentioned in an interview that he could just sing the song and it would relax him. He said he feared what would have happened if he hadn't gone the route of writing.

Not bad for a drummer “who sings a bit”! :) One of the best drummer ever!!! He joined Genesis in 1970 as their drummer. He did some backing vocals to the singer, Peter Gabriel, and also as the singer on 2 tracks up until 1976. Peter Gabriel left 1975 after the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour and the search for a new singer began. After MANY auditions for a new singer, the band decided that Phil would be the new Genesis singer. They released the 1976 album A Trick Of The Tail with Phil Collins on vocals and drums. For tours they hired an additional drummer, Bill Bruford and in 1977 they hired Chester Thompson (the other drummer in this video) who played on tours. Phil Collins is one of only three artists that has sold over 100 million albums as a solo artist and with a group. The other two is Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. A busy drummer “who sings a bit”!

😂 Phil Collins is one of the best drummers ever! Then when Peter Gabriel left Genesis Phil said ok I’ll take lead singer too. Boom! Rest is history. British bands are amazing. The 70s & 80s thank god I grew up in them times for music. 🙏🏻

React to his song I Don’t Care Anymore and Against All Odds. He has a ton of great solo work and his time with the group Genesis.

[@jacqueline4514]

You just named two of my top 30 favorite songs; one gets me all hyped up and the other one makes me cry, lol!

[@Silvaria928]

I love I Don't Care Anymore!

[@andirandolph8830]

Against All Odds, one of my favorites.

[@Squatchapopalus]

@@Silvaria928 I Don't Care Anymore is definitely of my favorites.

[@cinderellsworth]

@@Silvaria928 In The Air Tonight and I Don't Care Anymore are a set of bookends that chart the end of a marriage to the point where "I just don't care about you anymore". I know Phil must have had a really rough time going through that whole "situation". Just glad he came out alright!

Phil Collins is an incredible drummer in every bznd that he has ever been in.

[@pamharris2961]

He plays saxophone and keyboards and trumpet

That drum bit is the reason when the song comes on the car radio, I swear I feel my steering wheel brace itself. LOL

[@mztweety1374]

Phil Collins always looks like my senior World History teacher who was disappointed in me and knew I could do better. He was right.

[@lw1814]

Those in their late 30’s 40’s + should know this song lol. Unless you was living under a rock lol. It was a huge hit in the early 80’s. Phil Collins was an icon in those times. Up there with Michael, Janet, Roxette, The Jets etc.

[@alysonhopkins2037]

He was the only person that played in Live Aid in 1985 in Wembly, and then flew by concorde (the supersonic airliner that took 3 1/2 hours from London to New York) and played in Live Aid in Philadelphia the same day!!!!

[@debbiem7052]

Uncle Phil never lets you down!!! Royalty!!!

[@lauras3612]

Love how LFR is so taken by the drum explosion that he leaves the room. Yep, that moment would have been more than worth the price of admission right there.

[@neesona]

Seen him live in Manchester any amount would be worth paying to see him live absolutely awesome xx

[@ChrisS-id2gk]

Love you and your son’s reactions and life attitude. Keep on keeping it real.

[@carladicarlo3255]

So glad you got to experience Phil Collins! IMHO this is his best live performance. He was IT. Whether solo or with Genesis, it’s a rabbit hole you’ll want to go down.

[@technobrain1461]

The best version of the song.

[@WesleyThomas-tf8dq]

Your eyes at 7.53 is priceless

[@Triumph-nz8pt]

It's hard to describe it accurately but I saw him perform this and to be there in person was just an amazing experience.

[@debrawalkermeyer9109]

Me too. Best concert of my life
