    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."

    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....

    About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drownin'
    But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
    That's kinda how this is: you coulda rescued me from drownin'
    The line is "Well, if 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"
    I.e the person he's singing about he's so upset with them, that given a chance to save their life, he'd rather let them perish.
    He was going through a divorce at the time.

    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 UA-cam 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....

    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

    Phil Collins is the best drummer around. His son plays the drums now too. He had an excellent teacher. He unfortunately injured his back and is no longer able to play drums. He wrote this after his divorce. He was 53 years old when he performed this. It is difficult to sing and play drums at the same time. Love your reaction! ♥

  • @rk41gator
    @rk41gator 11 місяців тому +1

    The drowning thing is WRONG. Phil has said so himself. He sang 'if I saw you drowning I would not lend a hand'. It is indeed a breakup song. 1981 released. I believe he is singing at the guy who ran off with his wife while he was on a long tour with Genesis. He is a complicated man. He started with Genesis in 1970 and played drums on all their records and his solo work and also with several other famous singers (Peter Gabriel and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin for starters). His songs were heavily featured on the crime, TV series Miami Vice in the 80s and starred in one episode called 'Phil the Shill'. He is great in it; funny and a serious actor with a couple full-length movies to his credit. His prog and jazz/fusion drumming is fantastic.
