Who’s listening in 2024??? 🤟🤟🤟
Tumadre
Me, ever
Yup
Still just as confusing as it was back then....
Me love it ❤
This Should be The Number 1 Hit for 2024 . We are in a Total. LAND OF CONFUSION !
World of Confusion more like 😀
Total world
Video a bit obscure!!!
Listen to the lyrics!!!!!
One of the most iconic music videos of all time,right up there with Smooth Criminal and Thriller and spitting image was one of the best things on tv back then.
37 years later Spitting Image is still a thing and the world has not learnt anything from its mistakes
if anything the world is infinitely dumber (smart phones make stupid people) and the current crop of baddies are a joke compared to the past, yet we act like and buy into it being the worst of times. Humanity is so fucking stupid.
Does it ever?
Didn't realise Spitting Image was still a thing. The horror, the horror.
Agreed 100%
Same thought.
"too many people making too many problems" Damn right!!!! One of the best songs ever....
nonono that is exactly the wrong thing to focus on, by this mindset you are adding to the problem, you should be focusing on the part "and not enough love to go around" and by your love to your fellow man, you will solve all problems.
@@jokerguycz yeah and you are one of those guys, who go to a war with a knife...
People like you are the fn problem!!!
If someone is causing problems, tell em! But I guess that could offend or hurt feelings... -.-
@@chrisbee9643 No, god is the problem and all of this is the consequence!
@@esteelvauce7288 they are part of the "to many people making to many problems" part of the song. ;)
The saddest part about this song is that it doesn´t matter when you hear it, things are still the same :(
As a kid I was scared by the visuals.
As an adult it's the lyrics.
me too. The puppets where very scary.
wow. we live in a society moment.
both are too true for comfort
if you knew how to understand symbolism, you would be more afraid.
And your Name is Mobutu😁
This song was ahead of its time ❤😢
just heard it on radio after years no listening to it , up loud i was pretty impressed by the drum programming and oomf the sounds have . hope it was phil collins himself doing the drum programming , would be cool , the kick drum is very cool
Toda la vida fue igual, nunca cambiarnos!
it's timeless.
"My generation will put it right. We are not just making promises that we know will never keep. " Yeah, about that....
Ciao...by..gio..sss..primo..miami..florida..ciaoo
It's also a massive problem when people think they know how to make it right but it just creates more issues when they try to force others to comply. Current culture wars come to mind.
Phil Collins' generation is still alive but as long as there's bad people it'll never be put right
I think that every generation has at one time or another say that line
Heard this for first time since I was a kid in about 1990, and THAT line was the one that really stood out to me too. But at least there was hope back then - there's none right now, and aww man do we need a 'hero' to come along...
@@nicktaylor8032Jesus Christus 💒✝️✨
I will never forget when I saw this video in 1986, but I never imagined that in april 2024 we would live in a Land of Confusion, this masterpiece came true..
totaly agreed with u.
Maybe thé fear is not terrorisme , but Politics is the scaryest.
Man we all live in lands of confusions and wrong causes,but wait we must winn rhem
I miss the 80’s……
@@Timbo6669 Imagine the BC and BCE times then AD,, how beautiful the world is once
rightly said, especially after the plandemic covid, suddenly the cold war was on full steam, orchestrated by these too many men...
It continues being a land of confusion.
david garione : You right david, it is def. the land of confusion, unfortunately. Lets hope all will be sorted, "Sad Face" but I doubt it :-(
I am at 51 i worship genesis and phil David charles Collins one ov my favourite artists ever genius and ledgend his vocals are perfection ❤❤❤❤
'The men of steel, the men of power are losing control by the hour.' Sadly accurate in 2023...
Director: "How much nightmare level the video should have?"
Genesis: "max"
The puppets are from a show called spitting image, It has over 10 seasons
Yes
@@billclinton3862 doesn't mean it's not terrifying. I love this song, but always minimise the video.
In these Covid times I put this song before my sleep.😂
It's pretty appropriate to the time and subject though...
"There's too many men, too many people making too many problems, and not much love to go round..." So very right!!! Thirty-six years on...sadly the lyrics still make sense.
" We didn´t start the Fire.."
Then start loving more
Never more so 😥
All this time i thought it was "and Not much logic around"
They'll always make sense.
This is the coolest music video I've ever seen in my 54 laps around the sun
I absolutely love the fact that Phil Collins must’ve signed off that caricature of himself.
And his voice. I absolutely love his voice.
Most important message to human kind: nothing changes. Same shit, different year.
Yep....nothing new under the sun.
I agree
Nothing changes unless people do something to make it change.
Nothing changes but music.
That's what happens when you give up your government and culture to different ((people))
Finding myself listening to this song again these days. Scary how accurate the lyrics are even so many years later and especially during the last days!
Other than the lyrics, the song is super catchy.
Free Ukraine! Sława Ukrainie!
Gran pezzo dei migliori Genesis!!!!!
This one and _Russians_ by Sting.
@@kasperchristensen8416 Yes, You both are right!
It still rings true in 2024
very much so
Music like this can be produced today, but who has the mind for it?
The perfect song for this "time of confusion".
Same here same here!!
Disturbed version is slightly better
Is time of confusion since the beginning. Lol
Yea it's all just to true that it seems sinnister that they even told us
Jes
*This song should be played in the headphones of all at the united nations, especially the line, there's too many men, too many people making too many problems and not much love to go around*
do u read quran ,
THIS AGED LIKE FINE WINE...2024 BABY
Unlike most of the people depicted
For me, still one of the best songs of the 80’s
I’m 40 years old and this still freaks me out.
Ha,ha,ha, I'm 73 and it still freaks me out !
Because the lyrics are even more relevant these days.
You and me both. Same age, and I was really disturbed by this video when I was a kid. I always thought maybe when I grew up, it wouldn't be so scary. Now I can laugh about it, but it's still scary.
сынок, мне полтинник))
I m 17 and love this song
The visuals are more disturbing than disturbed. Imagine the disturbed song w these visuals.
+Vaas Montenegro YES
And replace the eighties leaders with modern ones. Potential gold there.
The visuals aren't too disturbing to me. For those who aren't aware, the video was made by the producers of a British satirical show called Spitting Image - which used latex puppets to mock politicians and celebrities of the time. It was a running joke that Reagan was so 'out of it' that he could hit the 'nuke' button by mistake at any time.
That is actually a pretty good idea
The 80s, better music, better politicians.
Percussion / bass in this song are amazing.
This song has been my mind lately with what’s been going on.
me too, buddy... me too
same!
yep, more accurate now than ever!
Just need to replace Ron & Nancy with Don & Melania for an updated version? 🤔
Just out of the blue I've been singing it in my head all day today...
timeless lyrics. sad but true.
No that was metallica
Unfortunally, their times were better than ours. This legends lived in a much promissing times....Today we are lost in our endless political problems.... people are divided alot
Their times borrowed happines from ours. We gotta tell our kids their grandparents burned the planet so they would have better quarterly reports anc cheap petrol....
It feels relavant today
Such excellent, iconic 80's imagery. Miss those times so much it hurts. Nothing like the 1980's. ......and Prince eating his own tongue like a hotdog is pure art.
Feets ?
Pete Townshend's nose makes me happy
@@jn4756But many, many people who lived then feel that too. It was simply a better time in general.
This aged like fine wine.
Yup. A lot of disinformation about covid. Too many people making too many problems, expanding the virus and all....
:)
any one in history saying humanity fails its potential end up being right. Its as old as history
Maybe a little Chablis ? 😊
I have 😁
@@femstora what about renaissance era?
Well. Exept the "Out Generation will make it right Part" exept its meant to Meta.
Agreed what a legend and song should be a huge hit even today.
This was epic song in the 80's.... LONG LIVE THE 80'S ❤
kkkk
...and it is still an epic song today. Probably will ever be!
As a kid in the 80’s, the design of the puppets always scared me. Today, I absolutely friggin love this song, the arrangement is fantastic as well as the lyrics. Truly love Phil Collins.
me too with those puppets
i was scared
Always thought that I am the only one who was scared
Me too!!!! 🤣 (Could never see til the end... scary!) 😂
They still look frightening
watching them in 2023 I don't think there is any cgi better than those puppets, it's a fucking amazing work
Those people saying "this fits 2020 so well", the WHOLE MESSAGE of the song is that nothing changes, ever. Year in, year out, it's all the same shit.
Is it? I don't see how. Seems to me more about like, the media and politicians are lying to the people, saying things are better when they're not; and that it's time for the people to rise up and force change to happen. That the world won't improve until we make it better.
I suppose that's kinda close to what you described.
Actually thinking about it some more, you're dead right. Nothing changes unless we make it change; and we never make it change.
It's actually the opposite, which makes it more depressing. They make it very clear that this is meant to be the turning point. That their "generation will make it right" and that they aren't making empty promises. 35 years later and we see now they instead got absorbed by the machine and let things get worse.
In retrospect its' a song about stasis, how nothing changes. But at the time, I don't think that was the intention.
@@Crawver No, I'm prety sure this was meant to be timeless not just for Generation X.
If that generation fails, its up to the next one, if that generation fails, so forth and so forth.
Names changes, identity changes, actors change...but the aspects of ego, greed and what i like to call "sport mentality" is pretty much constant and can take any form.
You're not gonna turn this entire rock around, but its still important to strive. We can't knock of every dictator, strongman and autocrat of the planet(exceptions are called for with all the good and bad that follows).
But if we get enough people to stop putting "Supermen" on pedestals, then at the very least we won't make it worse.
So...nothing changes?...not true...it could be worse.
@@RupertAndCheese cry more its funny
This song is more relevant than ever.
100% one of the best music videos of all time.
Oh, Superman, where are you now?
The expressivity of the characters is absolutely outstanding
Creepy
This is really too good for our world) one of the best songs in the whole world. The best by words.
this is never outdated
daily more current than ever
and what does mankind learn from it? Nothing. It wants to perish.
Even after so many years, this clip is still nightmare material.
Yep, I remember the first time I watched this video I was recovering from a nose surgery, it was so disturbing that I actually thought it had been some kind of hallucination produced by the anesthesia. I love this song, I love Phil Collins' voice but I truly hate this video.
@@poisonjjivy i saw it on MTV when i was a little kid and I was confused and terrified
@@poisonjjivy haha omg I can imagine:)
Best Video ever🤪🤪🤪😂😂
Its funny, I was very easy to scare as a kid, but I loved this video
I really miss the times when I was playing in my room as a child while mom was cleaning the household listening to Genesis or Phil in general.
And that's why music is so great, it takes you back there.
X2
There will never be artists like these anymore....
Why do songs preach? Nobody practices?
Gotta love baseless comments...
This song is so very perfect for todays 2023 world times sadly 🌎 ❤️
The relevance of it is constant. It was always like that, blind fools.
Und aktueller als je, seit lieb zu euren Mitmenschen,denn es gibt einfach zu wenig liebe auf der Welt. Und wenige Leute machen diese Welt zu nichte. Darum seid stark und liebt euch
I first heard this song when I was 15. But in today's times it somehow fits more and more as time goes on.
The relevance of it is constant. It was always like that, blind fools.

👍
ok now try to handle early Genesis...
The best song and the best music video ever!!! And so actually too...!!!
Oh my beloved 80's.... 😢
I‘m so thankful that I grow up in the 80‘s with this powerful music! At this time i thought, music like this is normal and it will go on like this forever. Now i know, that this were special times with very special, everlasting music.
I just saw that Genesis retired, yesterday (26/03/22) Genesis played their last show in London. I love Genesis and this song so much!! We're in a land of confusion!! Thank you Genesis for all.
Very sad.
The song is more relevant than ever 😎🙏
The most truthful music video of the late 20th century!
2022 now it's a whole World of Confusion. Stay strong everyone. LOVE, POWER and HOPE to you all out there!!! ❤💪❤
Thank you Michelle. God bless you 🙏💙

Thank you so much ❤️✌️
And Jesus Christ
oh the Reagen look a like, the Clinton look a like, the Queen look a like
I was actually terrified by this music video as a kid. And still is
I feel retarded after reading this comment.
Me 2 maybe just Doll Terrified;)*
With time, this song continues to become increasingly relevant...
Teenager here, funny how this song is so true today
I also have no clue how todays kids don’t like this music and judge my music taste for liking this stuff, it’s bloody awesome and so much better than most of the mainstream trash today.
"Superman where are you now?" Damn good question.
Probably refers to Jesus Christ.

Nothing changed over the last 35 years, this nightmare never ended.
It's just beginning 2020
derhallofrosch Don’t be ridiculous, things have changed - they’ve gotten worse
Of course not, even the people who wrote this Genius song, ironically, fight for more and more confusing times and lands.
Yes absolut.
@@sarahclifford2442 You had to jinx it.
This song is timeless..
actors are changing, but the mess is the same.
2023, - and nothing has changed!!!! What a powerfull Lyric!!!
Nothing has changed in the sense that you're still sitting on your hands and doing nothing. Listen to the song again.
I still feel like this song is so relevant today. We truly do live in a land of confusion
VERY relevant song in 2016.
StarlightShadowDancer yup... and conveniently modernised by disturbed, imho
And by In Flames
Disturbed Clip is a little Communist view to my taste .
2017 too :/
What if I told you that critisising something doesn't mean taking part for his opposite ? Has much has beiing against war in Irak doesn't make you a taliban
We're still living in a land of confusion!
Immer noch aktuell, auch in 2024.
This song is still so relevant.. This is still a land of confusion in 2016..
totally agree...
spot on if this goes on the worlds people will suffer again under the dispute's of a few egocentric assholes!
I totally agree with you, I'm glad I'm not the only one that can see that, I wish more people would speak out, it's like a conspiracy of silence nowadays, nobody wants to tell it like it is, this society we live in is an even bigger confused and directionless mess now than it was in the 1980's when this was in the charts, at least back then we still had some semblance of a plot, now it's like the plot has been thrown in the bin.
The only thing that is saving society from going under and into total anarchy today is the technology, mobiles, internet etc, which even the poorest can afford, unlike decades ago when such technology was something you had to be a Yuppie or very wealthy in some other way to afford, having access to this greater technology is helping us to cope with all the even bigger complications we face nowadays, although I suspect that this technology is a double edged sword and can work just as much against us as for us.
oh yeas
John, the technology is the reason why the powerful ones are pulling our strings and making us deaf and blind. Anarchy is the only way to save human kind.
This is not a song…it’s an incredible forecast!!!
Well what he sings about was the past, present and future. We're animals, we'll never change.
Nos vamos todos a tomar por el culo, con ésta gentuza que gobierna el mundo. Que pena habiendo para todos.GENESIS O APOCALIPSIS TOTAL.
I would say it's a commentary that's ever valid.
2023, can't you see this still the land of confusion
Lo veo, lo veo.🤪👍
37 years and almost nothing changed in this regard. Including the hopes of the current generation that they will do it right, but they won't. I hate being experienced and bitter.
Moral of this song:none. the world is a lie.

+Eddy Damaskus Yeah well, it isn't too late to hurt the people who fucked us all.
The lyrics are so on point. Unfortunately this song will be relevant until the end. Love you all.
Then again it's so easy to sit back, fault pick, offer no solutions just sing about problems. Meanwhile raking in cash by the million, sitting in their Ivory Tower(s), offering nothing but cynicism.
Yes, the end could be when the Nuke button will be pressed accidentaly...
The end......is near.
@@grenville64 well they are singers. Nowdays, anyone can spread a message about today problems, it's just harder to fix them.
I adore this song and this surreal video, hehe.
one of the best music videos ever made.
back when creativity and originality was the aim since there was no cgi´s, fancy autotunes or the use of naked people or cursing was allowed in the music.
Cursing was not allowed in music, you say? ;)
+Luis Fernando well done cgi is just as good as puppets. Cursing doesn't make music better or worse. Fancy autotunes can sound pretty good in the right moment, but it's kind of overused, I agree. And the whole naked people thing, yeah, music got a lot more sexualized but not in a good way, but in a sexist way
+Luis Fernando who gives a shit about the music video, it's about the music. From your profile pic im guessing you're about 12 and weren't even born then. Stfu kid.
+Ascaniius YT Why not give a fuck about the video itself? It's damn overfilled with sarcasm to our great holy modern society... they even did some sort of fortune telling... it's like they already knew back then that there will be somebody like Gadhaffi and Osama Bin Laden. I am damn sure people even didn't know a shit about Bin Laden back when this song came out. I just wonder what has changed over all these years... this song teaches me that things weren't much better some decades ago...
+RavenWarrior90 I'm old, and yes, some things sucked in the 80s. The constant fear of nuclear war, terrorism, AIDS, the crack epidemic, crime... The Reagan era was full of lies and fairy tales. Bill Cosby was seen as a role model, for chrissakes...
One of the best videos in history.
Isn't it? I sort of feel bad that I had to watch it twice before I realized that was Ronald Reagan though...
Mr Mattemoe yes
Bella Rocco!

oh wow, I cant believe a song I known so well, for so long...had never seen the video till now..!!
This song so accurate is scary 😮
"Too many people making too many problems" - the single quote relevant throughout the ages.
I'd honestly love to see a 2019 version of it, with no punches pulled.
@IcIcle As awesome as their cover was, a 14-year old song is hardly "new".
And what I meant is not even a new version of the song, but more a '19 version of the videoclip, showcading our current "too many people making too many problems".
I’m 16 but this is my favorite song!! It’s very relevant and I hope that the songs today are much like this. ❤️❤️ I wish I lived in the 80s ☹️

2023...truly mosters of creativity!!!
2:17 - I always liked that little nudge to the audience, that there are 2 Phil's puppets - one singing and one drumming.
Lol, never noticed that before!
The story I heard was that the spitting image lot had to make a new puppet out of phil Collins because the old puppet didn't have eyes, because the old phil puppet was always crying into his arms and was "so sad". Then they thought, well we already have the old puppet might as well have him pop up in the background and have him do a bit of drumming where the audience can't notice that the puppet don't have eyes.
I liked the part where the guy is putting ketcup on his tongue and Reagan gets hit on the head by Nancy. Today's politicians are more dangerous than the 80's ones were.
@@borinakoune1803 I like that scene as well. I think the puppet was the artist "Prince". I never got if that scene had any deeper meaning, "we are eating our own words"
Todays politicians are not more dangerous than the 80's ones were, their evils are just more out in the open and the peoples outrage is nonexistant. We have 24-7 news which makes secrets impossible, but makes the people in a constant state of blasèd jadedness. Believe you me the evils of most politicians in the 80's is still 30-35 years later the main cause of our troubles.

@@markpenrice6253 that went so over your head. Great music is timeless. It has nothing to do with charts.

@@Sillimant_ She did not imply anything, she just explained charts have little to do with real values. Especially in current times, but that's my opinion.
A timeless song like many others by Genesis.
By Disturbed*
I'd argue that this era of Genesis was part of the decline of the group. This is a pop song by Phil Collins and band. Although a big fan of Genesis including 4 post-Gabriel albums, I walked out of the Invisible Touch tour gig at Wembley when it dawned on me how dire the music was becoming - not all of it, but most tracks. The subsequent album was worse. More worthless than timeless, IMO.
@@vitorananias2353 disturbed? Originally by Genesis!
"My generation will put it right"..... Yeah, sure.
I remember dis classic back in 1986, 😊
Lyrics:
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
Now did you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
Burning into the night
There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Ooh this is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh-oh-oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh-oh-oh)
To make it a place worth living in
Ooh Superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go 'round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh-oh-oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh-oh-oh)
To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago
Ooh, when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep
Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
Now this is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh)
And these are the hands we're given (Oh-oh-oh)
Use them and let's start trying (Oh-oh-oh)
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in (Oh-oh-oh)
And these are the names we're given (Oh-oh-oh)
Stand up and let's start showing (Oh-oh-oh)
Just where our lives are going to
