Phil Collins

[AIR]

Who likes Phil Collins? I've started to listen Phil Collins now, so good songs. Wish I lived in the 80's.

I used to listen to him a lot back in the 80's--As a father, I like a song he did with Genesis called 'No Reply at All'. There is some dispute about this, but some say it is about his strained relationship with his daughter.When I hear this song, it reminds me of how precious my relationship with my kids is

Many of his solo songs of the 80s were what we radio folk referred to as 'anemic' ... he did covers of ballads that he slowed down even further.

Genesis created some fine music ... I had the opportunity to meet them after a concert they performed in the area in which I lived at the time.

I never really got into his music, but Cadbury did an Australian ad in 2007 that I liked:

I have started to like Phil Collins a LOT now. I love Collin's voice!

 

[CORE]

I've like Phill Collins even back when I was a little heathen child - singing lyrics to his song as he played on New Years Eve when I was 4 years old. My parents exclaimed, laughing "HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS SONG!"

When I was a boy scout I finally bought an album at the trading post at a pow wow...good stuff.

Here's a song that I missed when I was growing up...just heard it last year and it's become one of my favorites:

'We never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...'

My harbour lights are fading fast
soon they'll disappear
alone I sit in darkness
hoping someone might come near
though I wait, though I try
no one ever comes
and the feeling that I have flood over me
the river starts to run

We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close

Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
there are places that you know you should not go
but some bridges just won't burn
all my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
and the ghosts that come back to haunt you
make you realise at last

We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close

My heart is racing much faster now
life passes before my eyes
something's I see, they make me smile
something's they make me cry
so I look, so I try to find
a lesson I can learn
the passing of time hasn't changed my mind
and the ghosts I know return

You know we fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close

We fly so close, you and I sometimes
sometimes we fly so close,
we'll never know how many times
we fly so close

I like the change up at around 4:00 when he says "my heart is racing much faster now"
