    The lyric is :"[Well]IF you told me you were drowing, I would not lend a hand." I've never understood how people miss the IF.
    Perspective of the husbamd to the co- worker of his wife who was having an affair. He saw them together and they didn't. Know, hence, " I was there and saw what you did, saw it with my own 2 eyes." And "it was the first ti.e- the last time we ever met."
    Lots of Love.

    Phil was the original drummer for the band Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the lead singer. When Peter left the band, Phil took on the singing role. That is a whole other rabbit hole in Phil's past.

    He's a household name from many people's childhood (him, Simply Red & Tina Turner practically ruled 80s/90s charts). He's much loved and respected and one of THE best artists from UK. He's made so many tracks used in many things. It's sad for many fans to see his health decline so much in the past few years, but, he is now 73 so it's to be expected. It will be another dark day in (modern) music history when we eventually loose him. Legends are leaving us....

    Phil Collins is one of the GOAT's in the musical industry. An amazing Drummer, a great lyricist, a wonderful live performer and his voice is iconic. The concert this video is pulled from (which I believe is called "Finally the First Farewell Tour", which can be found on CZcams in it's entirety) is great from start to finish. It's just hit after hit after hit. He gets behind the drums a few times during the show and it's great to see (at this time he had some neck / back injuries that were hurting him really bad and eventually made him give up drumming completely due to the pain).
    From his days in Genesis, to his amazing Solo career, he's one artist that you'd be hard pressed not to be impressed by....

      Well, quite a lot of people do that to be fair. Even Adam Levine and Peter Criss.

    Divorce song I had the privilege of being 17 when this came out we only had the video and when the drums came in everybody lost their collective SHIT! Phil started out as a drummer for a band called Genesis. He went solo and had quite a few hits in the 80s. Glad you enjoyed it

    This song has probably been used in a lot of media, especially ads, but it was most notably used in the premiere episode of Miami Vice in 1984.

    Its been sampled by rappers/hip hop over 20 times
    Collins wrote the song amid the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife Andrea Bertorelli in 1980. In a 2016 interview, Collins said of the song's lyrics: "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."[10] In a 1997 BBC Radio 2 documentary, the singer revealed that the divorce contributed to his 1979 hiatus from the band Genesis, until they regrouped in October of that year to record the album Duke. Collins remembered playing the song to Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks but he felt it was too simple for the group.[11] Banks, however, says he never heard the composition.

    Great reaction. Clearly u recognized the ICONIC synth/riff from Em's song. However, that ish was computer generated... so happy to see you now know where it came from... NO auto tune, NO fake anything. Just human beings strumming on REAL instruments, singing from their own voices...

    Great reaction dude! It always makes me chuckle when someone says "I didn't know he was a drummer". Don't worry, many have said it. Long before Phil's solo career, he was a drummer with prog rock band Genesis. There are (in broad terms) 2 eras of Genesis, one where the lead singer was Peter Gabriel, then when Collins took over as lead singer. Their body of work is immense. Seconds Out is one of the greatest live albums of all time. I love Gabriel and Collins Genesis. The drumming here is very basic by Phil's standards. Check out tracks like Dancing with the Moonlight Night, Suppers Ready, 11th Earl of Marr for drumming masterclasses!

    No, he caught his wife cheating on him. So, he's telling the guy who slept with his wife that if he was drowning....he would not lend a hand...to save him.

    I saw him in 1982 perform this in concert at Indiana Imiversity. Best concert of my life
    And I have been to quite a few. Awesome vocals and his drumming is legendary.
