Long time since I listen to this. This song was a B side from the Both Sides era. Don Myrick played the saxophone on many PC songs, including the solo in One More Night. He was killed around 1993 in an odd incident on a police procedure. This song was for him.
Many great performances on LP and CD. "Runnin' with EWF on "All N All" earned him a personal Grammy. "Reasons" live on Gratitude LP, "After The Love Is Gone" solo on All N All LP. Strong body of work.
This is really Good. I can't believe Phil left this off his new reissue of 1993's "Both Sides". Most of Phil's B-sides are so good that they would be an A-side for many other artists.
Bela homenagem ao excelente saxofonista, Don Myrick, que durante anos integrou minha amada banda, Earth Wind & Fire, e depois continuou seu competente e criativo trabalho com o genio Phill Collins. Saudades, Don Myrick descanse em paz, obrigado EW&F, bela homenagem Phill ! Obrigado.
Everytime I hear this song I miss you more, Paul Jekot. I only wished that love would of been enough to keep you here. You'll forever be my angel who flew too close to the ground....
This is the best song i have ever heard. I was going to post this myself but didnt know how to. Fantastic tune it should have been on the album not a b-side brings back many memories some good some bad thanks for uploading it
When I listen to this song, I remember my childhood friend, Samuel who died in 2007. I was really sad when I heard of his death because I was at College then and didn't see him...RIP, Big Sam.
Everything is okay Just doing things for my house I LOVE YOU for ever My heart beats 160 like Supra ventricular tachycardia My hearts speed my love No chest pain No dizziness No heart attack Just only loving you Every day is different
You are the only and best Musician I love you already and listening all day long just your Music and Concerts ❤ Thank you so much much for being always available for me Your Susie the German from Mexico ❤
This song is for Don Myrick († 1993). The leader of The Phenix Horns, winds section of Earth Wind and Fire and Phil Collins and many other artists. Don Myrick was killed by a Santa Monica officer in the doorway of his home in 1993 (usa police shooting a black person "by mistake"...very rare isn't it?). He was 53yo. Don actively participated in Collins's songs and shows for many years. Some of his most famous saxophone solos include Phil Collins' "All of My Life", "If Leaving Me Is Easy" and "One More Night", the latter even featuring Myrick performing the sax solo in the official music video, filmed in a London pub. Another was the live recording of "Reasons" featured on the Earth Wind & Fire Gratitude album, and "After the Love Has Gone" from the album 'I Am'. He performed with many prominent musicians including Grover Washington, Jr. and Carlos Santana and many others...
Listening to some Anita Baker's Rapture album...You Bring Me Joy. I have always loved this song. A little research...I had to find out who this sax player was on this track. Little did I know, I loved his sound and music from Earth, Wind & Fire since the 70's. A few tears for you, Don...
When I saw him last he had that look in his eyes I said, "Do you need to talk?" he said, "No." So I called him up, asked him again and I waited a while - he began to speak, then he started to cry You know some things are best left unspoken and some things just never work out and sometimes, seems you try and you try and whatever you do There's a fix that you're in, and you just can't get out he said, "I need your help, I need it now Give me the strength to go on" Though I didn't know what I knew that something was wrong but he still had his pride he'd tell me in time Well this feeling inside kept eating at me I was losing a friend, and I had to know why When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news so I rushed to be by his side and we said goodbye for the last time I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye he whispered, "I need your help, I need it now Give me the strength to go on." We were always laughing I just remember laughing, mama We were always laughing Oh I need your help, I need it now Give me the strength to go on Though as time goes by, and it all becomes clear we can see the deceit, we see the lies So I asked myself, over and over, and over again What did they know? What did they hide? Fools, leading the innocent blindly Fools, turning away And I know that when I think of my friend with that look in his eyes and if they told the truth, he might be here today I need your help, I need it now Just give me the strength to go on, on I remember the laughing We were always laughing Oh no - it's just strength we need now Just the strength to go on...

Sad to loose a friend, but there is hope and comfort in the words of Jesus:''...I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?' John 11, 25-26 🌿 📖🌹

SADLY THIS SOUNDS ALL TO FAMILIAR....."what did they hide?" Phil wrote this song for his friend Don Myrick who was killed in Los Angeles, California in 1993 by a Santa Monica policeman during a narcotics investigation. While attempting to serve a search warrant (for another person), Police Officer Gary Barbaro mistook a butane lighter in Myrick's hand for a weapon. He fired a single bullet that hit Myrick in the chest. Myrick died in the hospital shortly afterward, aged 53 years. Don Myrick played saxophone for Phil Collins in the Phenix Horns and with Earth, Wind and Fire.

When I'm listening to this song, I was wondering if this song specially dedicated for someone in Mr. Collin's life. Thank you for the information!
I did not know this song was about Don Myrick. Thank you for sharing. I just found out that a friend of mine was murdered.
Donald Myrick. You are missed! Thank you for your beautiful music!🎵🎵

This song is made for the great Don Myrick he was a saxophone player for the Phoenix horns of Earth Wind and Fire
Spelled Phenix Horns
and was murdered by the LAPD standing in his own doorway. Went to the wrong apartment and shot him.
Amazing! This should be in album.

When I saw him last
he had that look in his eyes
I said, "Do you need to talk?"
he said, "No."
So I called him up, asked him again and I waited a while -
he began to speak, then he started to cry
You know some things are best left unspoken
and some things just never work out
and sometimes, seems you try and you try and whatever you do
There's a fix that you're in, and you just can't get out
he said, "I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on"
Though I didn't know what
I knew that something was wrong
but he still had his pride
he'd tell me in time
Well this feeling inside
kept eating at me
I was losing a friend, and I had to know why
When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news
so I rushed to be by his side
and we said goodbye for the last time
I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye
he whispered, "I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on."
We were always laughing
I just remember laughing, mama
We were always laughing
Oh I need your help, I need it now
Give me the strength to go on
Though as time goes by, and it all becomes clear
we can see the deceit, we see the lies
So I asked myself, over and over, and over again
What did they know? What did they hide?
Fools, leading the innocent blindly
Fools, turning away
And I know that
when I think of my friend with that look in his eyes
and if they told the truth, he might be here today
I need your help, I need it now
Just give me the strength to go on, on
I remember the laughing
We were always laughing
Oh no - it's just strength we need now
Just the strength to go on...
Thank you for taking the time and effort to write down the lyrics :-) I really appreciate it.
amazing voice, text and music.........
Como este cantor canta bonito ! Não tem coração que aguente ! Saúde muito tempo eu ouso esta moda!

When I searched google for the lyrics, those for this song come up as number seven... Preposterous! They should be at the top for a song like this!

Mi niño
I did rest after va I came from work, also preparing green soup with noodles
With vegetables 🌶
Come and let me give a place
As I was working thinking about you
But I was to busy
I believe you, stand by you to help you
Stand by you give my love and no one can dull you sparkle
I will be for you day night evening
Never neglect your life
I will proof my dignity
I will proof my greatness every day
I will proof my self to the word that I love you and you too
Am willing to show you my believes towards you and the society
Show to people that dreaming as I do is nothing wrong
Attitude is the most beautiful to said hello
Good morning
Thanks
Help if some one needs me and that becomes nitty
In my job every one hello to me
Brings best spirit word to a person who
Suffering
Cancer
Dementia or others
Bring life to people
Even last minutes let the person talk to God for repentance
Sorry if I am not excellent writing
Like you
Me no comas o period

I missed his call and the next message said that he had passed on....
No More Sad Songs 🙏🏽
@maxiformula Good observation. The song must have been put to a faster speed here, it originally clocked in at 6:05.
Yeah, Phil's B sides are as good if not better than the A sides!
Tribute to Don Myrick 💔
