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.

CHORUS
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

[misantrophia]

'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."

Dat verhaal staat inmiddels bekend als een van de grootste "broodje-aap-verhalen" uit de muziekbizz...

maar ach..

[JizzyKid]

Liedje werd ieder geval veel gedraaid in de serie "Miami Vice".

In "Stan" zingt Eminem ook wat over "In The Air Tonight". Beluister hem maar eens...

[Bartje]

op het album testify zingt phil collins er ook weer over, weet niet of dat er ook meete maken heeft.. ff tekst zoeken

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
