    This was lovely, and much needed. Lost my mom on 6.2.2020 to COVID. Can’t tell you how many times I blasted the records you did with Phil while she drove me somewhere thru the suburbs. To hear this song today, and to hear you unwrap it, was a dear and heartfelt comfort, that I didn’t expect or know that I needed. Thank you, good sir. This was beautiful.

    Leland, I've been following you now for a few months and I feel like I just need to say something to you. In my opinion, you give us, your viewers and fans, far more in the way of honest humanity and compassion than what we give you. Your love and compassion for your fellow man and woman seems to know no bounds. I missed you last summer at the Vancouver Island Musicfest, but I sincerely hope that you return to the Comox Valley with your band and that I get an opportunity to see you and appreciate you and your bandmates live. You set an example not only for bass players to follow on a musical level, but you also set an example on a human level for everyone to follow. Because of you, the world we all live in is a better place. Cheers, and stay safe. Best wishes to you and your loved ones, including Marcello & Rossano. MGH

    I hadn't heard that song in over 30 years and had forgot just how good it is. Phil has that ability to capture an emotion or mood in song. It's a talent that I believe most of the great songwriters possess, being able to write from the heart and not the head. Thanks Lee for these great uploads.

      Absolute truth. One of the greatest drummers of all time, influencing the sound of many. Played drums for several top artists. A far better singer than people realize. It's hard to come up with many more influential artists in the 80s, etc. etc. etc.

    You know, I never knew the name of this song... One of my first loves into what I called rock music and Phil Collins was my maitre d'nuit. 80's rock was jarring for my country mind, but it was a guarantee that one song would put me, under if it was Phil.
    I still remember this song on the radio at night while laying in my pitch dark room and listening to this song... He'd say turn it up, I'd turn it up because i was entranced by the feel of this song! My dad would come down the hall to open the door just as I turned it down, *"turn it down!"*
    It went on for a couple of times and finally, he made it sound like he left the door...
    He opened it and asked, "did you just turn your radio up?," "No sir."
    Then Phil says, *"Turn it up..."*
    My dad says, *"TURN IT OFF."*
    He would let me finish this song at my volume if I to promise to turn it off. Nuit
    I never would have thought a CZcams channel would have me recalling the joys of my own life... Phil's music really is best in a dark room!

    @thealrightestguitarist9135 Před 4 lety +13

    That was beautiful. Phil's songs have such a unique sound between the bass and drums that's instantly identifiable, yet it's hard to describe. This is reminiscent of "Another Day in Paradise" to me, a really introspective feeling that carries an almost physical weight. Geoffrey Oreyma's "Makambo" has a similar sense of heaviness.
