Well I remember, I remember, don’t worry, how could I ever forget
It’s the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don’t fool me
Well the hurt doesn’t show, but the pain still grows
It’s no stranger to you and me.
Taken from the song In the Air Tonight by the English musician Phil Collins, from his debut solo album Face Value (1981). The brooding song, accompanied by an atmospheric video and featuring a fantastic drum solo, is still considered the former Genesis star’s definitive song.

Incredible lyrics and music!
It’s no surprise it’s a very personal song. There’s so much pain and anger within the lyrics. And that drum solo (swoons).
Oh yes, it is ambiguous but that never stopped me from using my imagination as to its message.
That’s how so many of the best songs are best enjoyed 🙂
Alex – I’m a huge Phil Collins fan! 😊 A day with you sharing our music, tv, and movie interests would be a day well spent. I believe we have many similar interests.
It looks like we do 😄 I have such a soft spot for him. It’s great to see drummers like Phil, Don Henley and Dave Grohl have success outside of their original band.
Drummers have always been my favorite! All three are really amazing artists. Dave’s hair and beard is <3.
Especially here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AZz9TSjZCM
Ahh Alex! I ❤️this so much! Thank you for that. It made me laugh! Dave and animal both win, they were giving it their all! 🙂
I thought about putting No One Knows, which has the most astonishing solo. But Animal is Animal!
Very nice, Alex! Animal is…precious, in a wild way! 😛
One of his best. Well chosen lyrics. – Fondly, Shrek
You’re no Shrek! I’ve only seen the first one but I’m guessing he doesn’t change appearance much in the next two ha. Thanks for the semi suggestion.
No problem
Love this song. Reminds me of Risky Business. “Great. I’ve got a trig mid-term tomorrow and I’m being chased by Guido, the killer pimp!”
I so need to see that film again. Not seen it in years. It took me a while to get Patrick Bateman out of my head though. Read the book and saw the film of American Psycho and Phil gets more than a few mentions.
Hahaha. Yes indeed. Sussudio!
Just looked at it. I just had to see that scene again.
There’s so much more in the book as I recall.
For sure. It was a running theme. The film did a great job though. And Christian Bale was perfect casting.
Agreed. He ruled in that role.
I love that song… (I had one album live with a sort of merry go round as a cover, I don´t know if youy remember it: it was brilliant!)…. Great lines here. Love & best wishes, Alex 🙂
As soon as those drums kick in, you know it’s something special.
Even gorillas agree haha. Do you remember this advert?
Yes, I loved that advert.
