I bought Two Rooms 30 years ago and it still amazes me how great Phil Collins covered this song.
He certainly did justice to Sir Elton's masterpiece.
Phil Collins is full of soul.
Some of the reviewers that reviewed this entire album, WHICH WAS AWESOME btw, said none of these remakes had the feeling that EJ had when he was singing these songs originally. I think those people need to listen to this song again. I think PC might actually sings this song better than Elton. He sings it with the feel of "I wish it would rain", the background of "Sussudio" and the strength of "In the Air tonight". Love it!!
You described it perfectly
Phil knows how to sing songs and make them sound great his voice like his drums are super musical
Apples and oranges
The horns and drums here totally rock me to life!
Once he starts the drums it becomes a Phil song instantly.
So good. Top notch drumming. And a great song. I've listened to this more times than I care to mention!!
Phil’s also on piano for this song.
Listen to the bass. Lee Sklar is amazing
He's really bringing out the beauty of those lush, sophisticated chord changes
I have this CD album back then, TWO ROOMS. Glad UA-cam still keeping it.
This is phenomenal!
Philnomenal
Ah Phil... ❤❤
This is rockin, I love PC
I didn't know the EJ song when I picked up this CD in 1991. Phil knocks it out of the park. When I later found the EJ version I still liked Phil's better.
This is so tight!
Phil peut tout jouer et chanter avec son Yamaha CP-70, l'intro est magique et nous hypnotise directement. Toute la chanson est fabuleuse, elle possède une très grande force. 4:50 ca ressemble légèrement à Simple Minds sur ce passage et du Dire Straits même !
One of the best of that album, along with the George Michael and Jon Bon Jovi songs.
Bruce Hornby with Madman is the untouchable highlight of the album, although this is my second favorite.
If you play the two side by side, this is an almost exact replica of the original.
Legend!
Every song Phil sings is worth a listen! Props to Elton but Phil crushes this one!
Love this Album!❤❤🚀🚀
So glad I came upon this again. So good
Lo ve it!!!
Note to Elton: THAT'S how you sing high notes!
thats how you sing the song period !
Elton’s song…..
Nice version by Phil but it's a bit too slick. Like the original better it's more RUSTIC.
Good cover but just not up to some of the other artists that contributed on this legendary album
I think is the best song of the album. Clapton close second.
youre right Phil Collins is superior !
Are you on drugS??? This is an amazing version!
