A prime example of this is the "real story behind" the moodily atmospheric and lyrically overblown Phil Collins song In The Air Tonight. Standing on a cliff one day, Phil witnessed someone drown, unaided by another man who stood by, impassively refusing to lend assistance. Having penned the song, Phil tracked the passive murderer down, sent him front-row tickets to a Genesis concert, then sang In the Air Tonight, gazing directly at the spotlighted and hapless murderer. Mesmerized by Phil's performance, and perhaps paralysed by guilt, the murderer was unaware that arresting officers were closing in. For Genesis fans who lacked the ability to recognise a metaphor (i.e. anyone under 15 in 1981), it must have been exciting to believe that a cold-blooded criminal was witnessed, identified, baited and arrested, all through the fabulous music of Phil Collins.

Citaat:
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord Well, it you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies CHORUS And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord Well I remember, I remember don't worry How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows It's no stranger to you or me |
'k las ditte:
"The 1977 hit was inspired by a painful incident in Phil Collin's life--but not one concerning his brother. After the singer's first wife, Andrea, left him, he poured his heart into 'In the Air Tonight.' Collins explains: 'People ask me, 'Aren't you embarassed? You're putting your private life out for all to see.' It's like I oughtn't to let people see that I was hurt, that I cry, that I do 'unmanly' things. But I'm not embarrassed by it.' Collins, 41, wed the former Jill Tavelman in 1984 and no doubt hopes this marriage doesn't end with another sad song--no matter how many records it sells." |

zal wel niets wezen, maar viel me gewoon op: Swing Low (Collins) The sun is rising in the sky Here we're waiting, standing by Round in circles, round and round Pulse is racing, can't sit down The noise of people fills the air Search for silence goes nowhere Time just passes, starts to rain I look at you and I feel your pain Day after day watching it grow, counting the time In each and every way the pleasure is mine Through all of the high times Through all of the low times The farther we reach, the farther we see The farther we go Time after time waiting for you, when will you come Wanting to play the game we've begun Through all of the high times Through all of the low times The more we can give, the more we can keep The more there will be Like the man said he was right 'bout something coming in the air tonight Well if it's coming, let it be now I feel it's close, I just know somehow I can't hold on much longer My head is filled with wonder But if these things don't come to pass I'll bring you water and fill your glass Everyday the stronger it grows, it's easy to see Getting to feel how good it can be Through all of the high times Through all of the low times The more that we teach, the better we learn The better we'll be |
