OMG!! I just discovered that this guy is Phil Collins’ son and I’m freaking out lol! I’m getting tears in my eyes listening to this because Phil Collins is my favorite musician and Genesis is my favorite band, and I know this is a Genesis song and I’m totally amazed! Both Simon and Nicholas Collins have their dad’s super talent and they’ll keep their dad’s legacy alive forever!
Brilliant! Certainly outperforms the original, with improved musical arrangements. In a different level and at first sight Simon's face reminds me of M. Rutherford's at that age...😶🌫️
Omg love it! Genesis can continue on with Simon's voice and Nic's drumming not many bands if any could do this. if this was a thing for them to consider. I swear it was Phil singing.
Where is there a commentary about the UFO experience and background of one of the band members who wrote this? Is a real experience, taken elsewhere, returned. This song. It's dark here.
I am dense; I didn’t even guess by looking at him or seeing his name that he was the son of Phil. Great choice of song cover! Idk why because they have dozens of fantastic songs but this one is my favorite. I love the way it’s been covered here. Good job dude.
Simon est très très bon à la batterie et au chant. La relève est assurée ! Merci ! Simon , prenez soin de vous et prenez bien soin de votre père aussi.
Not exactly, but extremely close. Just different enough to be different. I'd love to hear him covering "Mama" to see if he can have the same edge as dear old dad...
Nic's already drumming for Genesis, why not let Simon take over vocals for Phil. I think it'd be cool to see Genesis continue with these two filling the roles of their father. If Phil doesn't want to keep doing it that is. lol
I think it may go a little deeper than that. Simon has always been his own person, so for him to just take his father’s role in genesis would diminish his accomplishments. Nic is already branching out starting his own musical projects, and is a great drummer as well.

Wowwowwow Este es un tema de Genesis !!!! Es Fantástico escuchar al hijo mayor de Phil Collins, cantarla!!! Oh wowwowwow!!! Amigos de youtube, porqué no apoyamos todos, para que Simón, acompañe en la "gira reunión" de GENESIS, en Abril 2021 y canté con su padre.... Que les parece a todos???? Seria grandioso!!!!
@@Raf-zu5le Same here since 1975 and did listen to it again and still love the Genesis version. I know this is Phil's son but just love Phil's voice and Mike and Tony's music makes the song a classic but thanks.
@@squonk86 not disagreeing with the classic bit - his version is just different. I just listened to Phil and 'Ripples' too, chokes me every time. Very happy memories. Nice talking to a fellow fan Ron 👍
🤮 Simon made several efforts, and a lot of actually talented people tried to help him out...he is not even a Julian Lennon, musically. Best to let Nic carry on the legacy. This cover is a blight on the original and an obvious attempt to get attention. Why that bothers no one is beyond me. If Julian Lennon covered a Beatle song he would have been burned at the stake. Nic's got it covered Simon.
What a shitty comment. Simon did this years before Nic came along. If you have a problem with progeny doing the music their father's produced, then perhaps Nic should stop playing all the drum patterns and licks his dad came up with in his Genesis years and create his own. Nic's just riding on his dad's coattails as much as you accuse Simon of doing. And no, Nic doesn t have it covered. He's no where near the creative force Phil was at his age on drums. He lacks the attack and nuances in his playing that Phil had. Nic didn't create the parts he's playing, his dad did. He's just going through the motions copying something created decades ago by someone who didn't have the advantage of rhythmic blueprints at the ready. And that's the truth.
Got to answer this, I love this version from Simon, really attacking that bass line. Also seen Nic live with Genesis - he did his dad proud. To be perfectly honest, when you have Phil as a dad you will always be compared, but both of them have their own talents - lot to he said about genes. And personally I feel lucky that Collins & Sons lets me listen to current versions and remember my youth on the same evening. Keeps me happy, very happy ☺️

What a brilliant version by Phil's first son. He certainly has his dad's voice!
Phil singing? Really? There is a big difference between both voices.
I think Phil's singing.
Like father like son.... squonk dixit... great Simon
Very well done
“Silent sorrows” in the intro.. tasteful. Great tribute !
Fantastic cover. Now that Phil is retired Genesis should hire both brothers. Done!
Talent doesn't drift too far from home. I love it Simon!!! A comforting voice and an awesome spin on this song. Great tribute.
Brilliant! Certainly outperforms the original, with improved musical arrangements.
In a different level and at first sight Simon's face reminds me of M. Rutherford's at that age...😶🌫️
Would love to hear him with Phil, Genesis and His brother Nicholas! 06/07/2024
It was his daddy’s and I think it’s great he let Simon do the remake
What a lively tribute to his father
Sounds so much like his father! That's a great thing!!!
keep it dark version simon collins magnifique
Holy crap! I love this cover. One of my favorite Genesis songs and this is really well done!!
Love the chorus in this song.....always envision Chester hammering that ride cymbal and driving the pulse forward.
Dope tribute and the magic paid proper homage! I felt like a teenager again digging on this track!
oh wow! Love this version too!
Powerful new version. I like it. 😎😎
Nice to hear a bit of 'Silent Sorrow In Empty Boats' from 'The Lamb...' at the beginning.
Omg love it! Genesis can continue on with Simon's voice and Nic's drumming not many bands if any could do this. if this was a thing for them to consider. I swear it was Phil singing.
so awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phil singing? Really? There is a big difference between both voices.
Blasphemy
Love this version. Good job
The song itself is one of a kind. Alien abduction to a better galaxy/planet, then have to be brought back.
Don't know why but this version has really captured my brain! Keep it dark 😉
You sound like your daddy. This is brilliant
Great job! He sounds surprisingly like his dad.
most execelent rousing rendition,cheers mate.
Simon sounds just like his dad, Phil.
my favorite song in 1981
Wow, loving this...
I *love* it! :-)
He sounds so much like Phil!
Wow. Highly impressed. You took one of Genesis's edgiest songs, and made it even edgier.
I love it, left it auto play and was like WOW, added to favs.
Gracias por este hermoso cover
Awesome Simon!!! God bless
If you like this, check out Dimensionaut by Sound Of Contact. Simon drums & sings, uncannily like his Dad !
Where is there a commentary about the UFO experience and background of one of the band members who wrote this? Is a real experience, taken elsewhere, returned. This song. It's dark here.
Wow, amazingly he sounds like daddy.
I like this version.
Wowww. Your dad would/ is proud
Awesome version

I don’t love that thing that happens at 4:00 though.
@@HiThereImFootloose Agreed
Really like this. One of my favourites and a great version
Sweet
Fabulous!

Great Cover! nice job Simon.
Has new life.
Excellent’
Nice!!!
This is really good.
Have him sing on the next Genesis tour. Very good.
Great song
by Genesis.
WOW!!!!
Sounds exactly like his old man! Song reminds me of abacab
It is from Abacab.
Not exactly, but extremely close. Just different enough to be different. I'd love to hear him covering "Mama" to see if he can have the same edge as dear old dad...
JayTeaNH would be awesome!
'Keep It Dark' is a song from 'Abacab'.

Perish the thought
Interesting choice, since Tony Banks wrote the lyrics, not his Papa. I put both in my Genesis playlist. Thanks for the upload
No need to lie.
No need to hate.
No need to hide.
Hear that, Democrats?

was always a great song, but this version of simon was even better than the original.
When is he going to join his brother nick collins

Can't find it on Spotify? Little help?
De tal palo tal astilla
Fatter drier more prominent snare would help this track. Love the vocal and bass synth.
Is this available to buy??
Could swear it's Phil singing.
Cities of light,
with no fear of war
(Do we really need aliens to fix our shit?)
Fuck yeah we do!
(Been listening to this track so often during this time)
I think I like Simons version better!
Sorry but being a huge Genesis fan this doesn't even come close.
Hey, Genesis fan too, since 1975. But this version does rock, listen to it again ☺️ Fantastic bass line 👍

Did he ask permission to Uncle Tony and Uncle Mike? 😊 Nice version anyway! 💜
Did Disturbed ask for permission?
@@cumexolaf3276 This was meant to be a joke. But your reaction is interesting: did Disturbed do a cover of this song? Do you have a link?
@@MarieNoelleP not of this song, but they ruined "Land Of Confusion" with their garbage cover.
He has almost the same voice as Phil...
creepily similar to his dad.
