@ Jan8500 ~ thanx :-) The interview I saw of Phil's never mentioned anyone drowning...and not even a divorce ~ yet a friend / family member who had betrayed him. Shootz ~ that was a while back...Oh well ~ I just love the song
@JukeBoxHero991 Collins comments on the urban legends in a BBC interview:
“ I don't know what this song is about. When I was writing this I was going through a divorce. And the only thing I can say about it is that it's obviously in anger. It's the angry side, or the bitter side of a separation. What makes it even more comical is when I hear these stories which started years ago, particularly in America, someone comes up to me asking 'Did you really see someone drowning?' I say, 'No, wrong'.
I love Daughtry - and this is one of my all time favorite songs since I first watched it on the TV in Miami Vice :) This is without a doubt the best cover of this song ever!
But it's not close to besting the original - not even close.
wOw ~ love Phil ~ yet you do a great job on this song...:-)))........original meaning behind this song is sad yet interesting ~ as I recall ~ Phil Collins had a friend who deeply hurt him. So much so, that Phil said "If you were drowning, I would not lend you a hand"...
If you think it sounds good in this recording, you should hear it live... Simply amazing. Phil Collins has great songs, but Daughtry sings this one better.
@wibbelern You are very right on that, when I heard him do this in Kansas City It was way way way better than phils version, I really hope they can get him to release one so its a recorded studio version it would hit the charts for sure

Wonder if Chris knows the true meaning behind this song? I'm sure he does, or he would have never recorded it....

As an answer for thedevilownz and wibbelern..i think Chris Daughtry can sing about anyone's songs better than they can.

And I love Chris Daughtry and his angel kissed voice <3

@wibbelern Hell NO! Phil Collins was and always will be better, hell Non-Point did a better cover

@DreamersNBelievers Phil Collins Version: Epic. Not one person can do better.
Non-Point's Version: Still good, I like it a lot.
Chris Daughtry's Version: I love him... And everything he has. Amazing cover.
However, both Daughtry and Non-Point did a amazing job... I wouldn't really say one is better than the other.

@wibbelern Humbly disagree. Phil Collins is a legend and while Daughtry does a great job he is not even in the same league as Collins.
