  • Here is yet another hard to find Phil Collins music video featuring the Collins family past and present. One of the kids playing the drums is Phil's son, Simon, who can also be seen in the Batman shirt. Be sure to do a UA-cam search on "Simon Collins" to hear some of his music. He is a chip off the ole block, and has done a remake of his father's Genesis song "Keep it Dark", which is fantastic.

    Who knows if anyone reads this, but for those who do I don't expect you to care or understand. I'm a 17 year old young man who loves Phil Collins, This song was played at my Dads funeral, he was tragically killed in a traffic collision on his way home from work in summer 2011. After his funeral my mum told me that he always wanted to tell me the lyrics to this song... he never got around to it. Now whenever I hear this song I instantly think of him and his smile. Always brings me to tears :'(.

    I've seen his concert just before COVID in 2020. His son, now a great drummer, was amazing. Phil was seated in the concert, but has not lost any of his voice, and was amazing. God bless him for giving me the most amazing time in my crazy life.

    Just lost my son 7 weeks ago, age 33. I sent him this song about 5 years ago because it's true, and Phil Collins is my favorite artist and he knew that. I can't explain how difficult it is to function properly right now. He was my only son, my best friend, and my business partner. DAMN IT HURTS

    Extremely underrated, and filled with emotion. The instrumental, lyrics, and passion that was dedicated to this track, never gets it's full credits. One of my favorite all-time Collins songs, and one that brings many memories. Truly one of a kind. Sad that legends like these only come once in a lifetime. Long Live Phil.

He was one of a kind, even though he was a military man he never forgot about his son and would always make time for me when ever he gets a chance...he would even fly me out to where he was stationed just to spend time with me or suprise me...and man was he good at that!...but wen he passed on in 2017 i was under my first year of college and i just had a bad break up which was hard for me...but my mom told me that he is always with u, and when i listen to this...it always reminds me of him and it speaks to me like he is still around to show me the was in the sea of life...Thank you Phil Collins for making a magnificent song about fathers, And thank u too dad for being in my life...R.I.P. dad!

    I am 14 right now, about to be 15. When I first listened to this song, I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics so I really didn't feel much. The second time I listened to this, I read the lyrics, and I cried. The outro especially got me. Made me think of my dad, and my Grandpa who passed away from Covid in late 2020. I can't help but tear up at the line "I'll always be with you, don't forget. Just look over your shoulder, I'll be there."

    Somewhere down the road, you're gonna find a place
    It seems so far, but it never is
    You won't need to stay, but you might lose your strength
    On the way
    Sometimes you may feel you're the only one
    Cause all the things you thought were safe, now they're gone
    But you won't be alone, I'll be here to carry you along
    Watching you 'til all your work is done
    When you find your heart, you'd better run with it
    Cause when she comes along, she could be breaking it
    No there's nothing wrong, you're learning to be strong
    Don't look back
    She may soon be gone, no don't look back
    She's not the only one, remember that
    If your heart is beating fast, then you know she's right
    If you don't know what to say, well, that's all right
    You don't know what to do?
    Remember she is just as scared as you
    Don't be shy, even when it hurts to say
    Remember, you're gonna get hurt someday, anyway
    Then you must lift your head, keep it there
    Remember what I said
    I'll always be with you don't forget
    Just look over your shoulder I'll be there.
    If you look behind you, I will be there.

    My dad was a Phil Collins fan. I bought him Both Sides for Christmas in 1993. We listened to But Seriously in France on holidays. Happy memories. Dad died last month from a brain tumour. My mind can’t accept that he is gone, that I won’t see him again or hear his voice. It was OK in the first couple of weeks after he died as he was out of suffering, now I randomly start crying in the street. I have been listening to this song a lot. It makes me sad, but it makes me feel close to him as well. I’m quoting some of the lyrics in my eulogy at his funeral next week, The end of the song make me imagine dad packing his bag, heading out of the door and walking towards the light. Free from pain, but much missed. Goodbye dad.

    When I listen to this song, I feel very sad, because I miss the warmth and understanding of a dad like Phil describes a father. I think we just don't get along that well and never will. I try to understand him and sometimes I do, but it seems he is not able to give me love, understanding and support. It's all I need from him. I tried to explain it a thousand times, but it is not going to happen. Unless a miracle happens. Phil has made a song of the dad I would like to have. I still love my dad, but I am also very frightened of him. Luckily there are many beautiful fathers, who are doing very well to take care of their families. I know it is his incapacity and I have many incapacities too, I don't deny that. And most important, I believe in a heavenly Father, who never gives up on me. I wish nobody would have a father like mine, living with eachother is so complicated, because we have too many negative similarities. I am thankful for the Holidays I spent with him and my older brother and our trips just around the corner. All the best from the Netherlands.

      +Bart de Haas Keep your head up. Some fathers are not good parents. Same holds true for mothers. I got divorced when my son was 2. I discovered infidelity on her part. Always remember, it's not your fault. Never is or was. Focus on you. Be strong. Study hard. Do your best. Be proud of who you are. Always hold your head up hight. Unlike your dad, I was a very active part of my son's life. Still am. We are close. He's an honors student. Earned a full scholarship to one of the finest universities in the United States. I'm a proud papa. So, heres what you do. Prove to him what an ass he's been and kick ass. Do it for you and nobody else. Life is wonderful. Go get it! You can do it! Best wishes!

      What a pity to hear that. But at the same time, it's kind of comforting to read in your comment that I'm not alone. I try to find a good balance. I just need to take enough time to find it.+xsanchezz

      +Bart de Haas Bart I too have struggled throughout my 48yrs of my life with the same sentiments of my Dad. Father's Day would always be hard for I could never find a card that displayed what I truly received from him as a Dad. I could never amount to what my Dad wanted me to be, no matter how much I tried. He once told me I should have never been born...it hurt me to my core. Not to long ago the Lord told me to 'Repent' to my Dad. I did not quite understand why but I did. Since I've done that I truly see the love my Dad has for me. God showed me why he was unable to be the father I had wanted him to be but the father He only knew how to be. Since I've done that a peace has come over me that I cannot explain. I have ALWAYS loved my Father and now I understand what he was, rather, than what he was not. He's 73yrs old today and I spoke with him for about 3 minutes in the end; I told him I LOVE him and he said he Loved me. That was all! What started the ball rolling came from my Pastor's sermon. He said, "un-forgiveness is like drinking poison hoping the other person dies". Thankfully God gave me a son whom I showed the exact opposite of what I received from my Dad. I am grateful for that because he has flourished from a respectful boy into a Div. 1 College Football Player! Stay Strong Brother! God Bless!

      living2liveagain1 Thank you for this beautiful response. As a christian, I think what you just described is THE way for me to go, but I need the time to find God in my busy life. Although I do not have a son like you, or even a wife, I do know that God has made a time for everything and that what He wants me to do is God. I wish you the best with your son and the rest of your family! God bless!

    Phil Collins wrote the sound track to my life. Every album that came out, matched what was happening in my life. In 1996 my baby son passed away, before that I wanted to sing him this song. The only song I cant listen to, 16 years later, is "Since I Lost You'. Every word of that song matched what happened. My son is with me, always, and if he ever needs my help, all he has to do is look over his shoulder... Thanks.
