  • What does these 3 comments below this one have to do with this song? There are political websites where you can air this out. Let's have the comments reflect the song

  • 95% of the worlds problems are caused by 7.1 billion people on the planet. Even the World Health Organization says only 2,5 billion people can be sustained on planet earth. Trust me on this, the world will fight back with a devastating disease that has no cure. Its just the way mother nature works. Peace be with you all.

  • In October of 1986, I remember on FM radio someone dedicating this song to the 1986 Boston Red Sox during the World Series with the NY Mets. It was so true as the Mets won really be default

  • how could i ever forget this tune. damn, really fuckin good

  • This is an abosuletly superb song. Phil Collins is God!

  • when when when is that god damned government going to smarten the fuck up and realize that they have set in motion events that will ultimately end in our total destruction!! if god wanted he could wipe it all away with 1 swift wave of his mighty hand!! but that would be to easy, life matters more and more to jesus when we fight and claw and grab with honesty and consideration for 1 and the other, but that would be way to difficult! remember the road to heaven is a very rough road to travel!!

  • @topcatroar61oliosc You allright man?

  • Phil is the man.

  • Great classic.

    BTW, this album cover used to scare the CRAP outta me when I was a kid.

    I think it was the hand.

  • @EdnaFrom85 Likewise. I tried to draw a better cover, and that just consisted of the band cloaked in Predator-like camouflage :)

  • Nobody laughed at me.

    Nobody ever has.

    Weird.

    Did all of that fit on two garbage scows ? I'm assuming it did.

  • @BillyJimOMFG  we... together will be free from darkness grab my hand we.... will..... be..... free....

  • Now ask her "do you even KNOW what you're talking about?" She'll reply "I don't even know WHO I'm talking about".

    Wheel the old lady outside, tearing her eyes off teh mosquito screen. Outside, shake her hand and say "It's been cool. It would have been cooler if it were shorter, but cool." Offer her a cigarette and before you turn and walk away with a blank look on your face , turn back and say this "No, I'm not 'Looking into your fathers eyes' either."

    See? Easy.

    For me.

    ME.

  • Great Song!!

    

  • 8 people threw it all away

  • Comment removed

  • There were a few years in the early eighties during which Genesis produced the greatest pop music since the Beatles and the Beach Boys.

  • I know two people who are throwing it all away. I think there'll be regrets.

  • ...and at the time i though i was missing something out there...and here i am almost 15 years later and all i found was regret...Genesis has always been apart of that time it is...Hauntingly accurate

  • Love this...but it's so true. To have someone throw away something so special...that one time in life that you finally get it...and let it go for some dumb reason. Foolishness....the whole mess that was so great...and to hurt so deep.... like a deep wound that won't heal...

  • I reckon this is a great band and this is a tremendous number, real easy listening - how come they get such bad Press?

  • WE LOVE YOU PHIL!!!! JUST ALWAYS KNOW THAT MAN!!!

  • OMG my bestie is named genesis

  • Genesis was the band that followed the Beatles in terms of quality of music, musicianship, humor, sarcasm, and memorable songs w/melody and lyrics that stand the test of time.

  • genesis is marvelous !!!

  • Who r the 8 idiots who dislike this song? truly amazing!

  • @cafiolo02 - The ones who are still bitterly depressed about Peter/Anthony/Steve leaving, even though it was amicable.

  • When music is art - love this song

  • One of the most beautifully written love songs of all time.

  • i break down.....everytime i hear this. 

  • @TheSBW1980 love that part of that song, hope my ex gets it. lol

  • ahh chilhood again amen.

  • Someday you'll be sorry

    Someday when you're free

    Memories will remind you

    That our love was meant to be

    Late at night when you call my name

    The only sound you'll hear

    Is the sound of your voice calling

    Calling after me.

  • @crazyhorse1178 Amazing lyrics.

  • Love the 30 Rock nod:

    Tracy: You like Phil Collins?

    Jack: I have two ears and a heart, don't I?

  • I can so appreciate this song now that I'm an adult going through a divorce. When I first heard this sond I really loved it , I was a young teen not understanding how relationships really go. Now I really really really understand this song. This song is so true :((

  • omg I miss Genesis and Phil Collins I saw them like 9 times in concert and they really put on a good show

  • Phil Collins captures the mood of bittersweet melancholy like no other.

  • Comment removed

  • we are here to listen. Don't fight.

  • Unless you're a moron, or a mormon,,,, Sooooooooooooooooo much talent... let's all enjoy it. Music lovers don't fight.

    oxoxo. if you're really honest with yourself. Or is it just me?

  • I guess SOME people are missing the point. This is a great song of it's day. Please don"t argue .We are all here because we appreciate good music. We all love Phil. (poor bastard) Hate conflict. Great music. Appreciate it or FUCK OFF, children.Why are you here, to criticize? f/kin grow up. I'm thinking that you either get it or you dont. Shuddup and listen. xoxoxoxooxoxox

  • yesh!

  • Damn love this track... so many memories.. And yes; garbage men do sing this song (garbage men from the 80's)

  • i just heard this song at work.. ran to my laptop and got the song.. love this song

  • @SmoothProducerMID Yeah, it's great!

  • One weekend, they played this song twice on the radio recently.

  • Another unforgettable 80s classic. I love it!

  • Invisible Touch is definitely one of the best albums Genesis ever did.

  • late at night when i call your name the only sound i here

  • I have always has a tremendous appreciation for Phil Collins. I have had the worst past 2 years of my life, my Grandmother died who i loved so much and my Step-father went as well. I listen to music like this and it drives me to not only be a better musician but a better person. The song itself says ''throwing it all away''.. and what i take from this song is that it can inspire you in a positive direction and pave the way for a true appreciation and appreciate what you have and what u dont have

  • 8 people have thrown it all away.

  • classic music from 1986. simply breathtaking! i think the title of this song depicts the current state of music these days. thank you for posting REAL MUSIC. may GOD bless

  • Love that guitar riff. The lyrics are so right on the money.

  • Now who will light up the darkness

    Who will hold your hand

    Who will find you the answers

    When you don't understand

    Why should I have to be the one

    Who has to convince you

    Cos you know I know baby

    That I don't wanna go.

    .................That is so beautiful

  • I put this on at full blast the night the Arizona Cardinals lost the Super Bowl...

  • 7 people have lousy taste in music.

  • @SrJimmyZOSO at the moment, it seems to be 7 LOL

  • I love you Maria when I heard this song so I soory cause you are at heaven god bless to you I would like to marry with you but you were not for me and I wasn't for you

    from 1986 I like Phill Collins and Genesis what a wonderfull time of my life

  • I wonder if garbage men ever sing this song?

  • @glimmer2158 Oh man!.....it took me a sec to get it....funny shit!lol

  • @glimmer2158 pretty sure they don't...they are too young...you wouldn't see people born before the 80's picking up trash, lol.

  • @glimmer2158 hahaha funnnnnnyyyy

  • @glimmer2158 Garbage men make more money than me.  I"m just a gerphobe and don't do trash so well. Ps cute joke.

  • @glimmer2158 hahahaha.

  • @glimmer2158 LOL...too funny!

  • @glimmer2158 Good food is thrown away by stores, restaraunts and shops every single night all across america, because the food was not sold...food that could feed the millions of humans who are starving to death. America only appears to be civilized.

  • @Onetazien Oh god yes, it is America's fault. What a stupid statement. It's the world's fault, Every single one contributes to the problem, start by fixing things with yourself. Sick of BS statements like that. Listen to the song! (Over population, old used food that is going to spoil gets taken to shelters before it spoils...lack of distribution, corporation, pollution...and lack of education!...that's what contributes to that!) Sick of this crap.

  • @TheGoddessCaroline Woah, woah..American businesses throw away fresh food every night, that's a fact, enforced by law! (food that can feed starving americans) That's all I said. And oh yes, our mad OVERPOPULATION.

  • @glimmer2158, HAHAHAHA. Good question.

  • The lyrics say "I CAN see the future", not "I CAN'T see the future", He doesn't want her to leave; he wouldn't be saying that there's no future if he felt this way.

  • @brandon1971972 Omfg you're right... I've grown up with this song and I was so sure he sings "I can see no future" all those years. *flabberghasted*

  • Genesis Six Hours Live 1972-1980 2DVD set available at Tommygun Video, please see our channel for link to site, video clips, more info

  • carmen

  • his happened to me recently - a relationship that just couldn't work, very sad

  • Ive heard before that genesis consider this their dance music album and if you stip the vocals away you can see elements of all genres of dance music.....i love this and i love dance music and many other styles besides...they are all just music to me...you can stick your genre tabs up your arses...there is music and as long as one person in the world loves it then it's worthy of being called music...

  • I'm sorry NOW DANCE CDs. But that's what I call music.

  • Invisible Touch is a really fab album!

  • I hope I get divorced someday.

  • @mattjindrak .... wish mine didn't have to happen .....

  • The only sound you'll hear........

  • "Someday you'll be sorry, someday when you're free memories will remind you that our love was meant to be. Late at night when you call my name the only sound you'll hear is the sound of your voice calling, calling after me"

    Mike Rutherford really got it with those lyrics! This song is really good when it's about breakups and divorces... Right now I'm going through a breakup.

  • The only song i would ever Kareoke

  • just love genesis and this is a special favourite.

  • Divorce song? I want this at my wedding!

  • I absolutely LOVE this song!!

  • growing up i loved theses songs... now as a divorcee i understand phil so much more.

  • memories....

    

  • how bout we all stop commenting about how sad it is that no one appreciates music. theres so many of you whining about this, that eventually, youll realize theres quite a lot of people appreciating it, they just choose not to lament like this generation or that generation is so tragically misguided. shut up. get on with your life. no ones impressed with your copy paste commentary.

  • @theowendable yeah, whiny bitches.....

  • @theowendable Need I say emotions....something we don't share?

  • 4 PPL WHO DOESN'T LIKE PHIL COLLINS OR THE GROUP.... DOESN'T LIKE THEIR PARENTS

  • I have been living this song for the past 4 months, when I should be enjoying the early days of a brand new marriage. That last verse is what I wish she knew, now. I hate to move on, in case she ever comes around, and remembers why she needed me.

  • i listen to this song everytime it rains and Im driving on a busy highway because it reminds me of a man in a dingy overcoat, sitting in a pub, drinking piss beer and sullen, thinking of the woman he misses and is the reason he is in that dingy overcoat, sitting a pub, drinking a pitcher of piss beer. Life is so unpretentious sometimes.

  • @redsunflower67 ...If only.

    Probably the two most popular words in the english language? ...But yes, If Only ?

  • 3 people dont like music.

  • @HitchHikersBlues They dont know what it is?

  • The pain of divorce.....

  • @jtabor13 ...The pain of living : ) : (

  • i listen to this song afew times when i was a kid it really grow on me however i never knew who artist was and not knowing the name of the song back then but now i know:)

  • LAmonk76 is right!!!!

  • @jrw2176 thank you man. 

  • Why the hell musicians can't make music like this anymore?

  • @rfd73

    It's an era gone by. I don't think we'll ever see music like this again...

  • @rfd73 Musicians CAN make good music. I don't doubt the talent of the people. But generation after generation, people are being conditioned more and more into stupidity and dumbness. And so the music industry generates - and matches - a fitting demand. There's no room for "good" music in the industry anymore.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is fantastic. End of story.

  • that's the main reason I prefer listening to 80s......music and lyrics had something to say....

    wish I was a teenager back then........

  • "Some day you'll be sorry. Some day when you're free. Memories will remind you. That our love was meant to. But late at night when you call my name. The only sound you'll hear, is the sound of your voice calling, calling after me. "  This is a great piece of song writing!

  • Does this song mena more now since the news??

  • @mrmrvos His rep says he isn't retiring. I think what Phil was saying the other day was more venting for the crappy treatment he's gotten over the years. It's sad because he's composed some great stuff. I think this song is my favorite Genesis song.

  • phill, please stay and just sing.. don't go!

  •  This song sounds like it could have been previously by Phil about his divorce, but it was actually Mike who wrote the lyrics to this one.

  • Grew up with genesis playing, could't stand them until recently, this song is so

    amazing, there is beauty in sorrow!

  • Great song! Thanks for positing it.

  • I have always wanted to meet mr.collins and thank him for narrating my life (happy & sad) what an amazing song writer and musician..

  • Nearly 80 thousand people dont know where the Like button is..

  • @timniedz78 1 person in particular missed it and hit dislike

  • @timniedz78 Hey that's a new one, distracting the likes from the total views and making a "witty" remark about that. :P

    Still wont give it thumbs up though :P

  • @Rotemetoot HaHaHa, Your ON TO ME, it was a nice try tho...

  • herd this when i was like 4 now it's embedded in my mind

  • This song just goes down deep through my heart.......I can not express.....so sweet and effecting the mind.....love you phil collins.....thanks for such an incredible song....

  • Almost every song on this CD makes me want to cry.

  • Check out "Penelope Pitstop"

  • That one person decided to throw it all away...

  • does anyone else think this song is very similar to Back in the High Life by Steve Winwood? They were released around similar times, wern't they?

  • Perfect ! You ve got it. And both artist lost the Rock n Roll with their albums.

  • Who is the lead singer here? It sounds a lot like Phil Collins, lol.

  • And all it would have taken was that one phone call to avoid the pain. But I am here to say to you:

    Someday you'll be sorry; Someday when you're free; Memories will remind you that our Love was meant to be...

    You're throwing it all away...

  • THE LIVE VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER!

  • Billlboard's #84 song of '86. Genesis hit #1 rock, and, AC, #4 pop, in the US. How'd they do in the UK? Does anybody know if the official vid's here on Youtube? Please get back to me on it. God bless y'all, and, Merry Christmas!

  • I can't believe this song came out like in 1985.... What a GREAT song.... such lyrics such emotion

  • who's gonna light your darkness and who will hold your hand.

  • doooooooope!!!! i like this song

  • is this phil collins?

  • @unknownsilenceband Yeah and his band before he went solo thus the name Genesis lol

  • @unknownsilenceband Yes it is :)

  • Maybe the guy or gal who thumbs downed was doing a handstand at the time and didnt mean it..........or better take it back IMMEDIATELY

  • The guy who thumbed really has guts....

  • sometimes song say things that you can't fully express to someone else. This is one of those times and one of those songs.

  • I'm in the middle of a breakup where we love each other so much, but we want different things...and this song is just tearing my heart in two. I just keep thinking, "What a damn waste"...

  • @Laurielou862 I know how it feels.....but soon that feeling will fade, then you will have so much to look forward to and some weird power will stop you from thinking about the time you wasted......or think you wasted. I swear I even tried to think that it was waste after that point and my mind wouldnt let me......good luck to you

  • it dose not take the hurt away

  • it happens all the time

  • This is my mom & dad's divorce theme

  • Thanks for posting this....

  • 4 u u know who u r.

  • i feel sorry for the person who had to thumb this down.

    the only reason this happened was because someone wanted to be the first to do it.

  • if any person thumbs this down, YOU have no SOUL! 

  • @LAmonk76 .... 2 viewers sold their souls to Justin Bieber.

  • @Tre404 no need to mention others on Geneis's masterpice of an album.

    as for the dislikes. . can't please every one.

  • @LAmonk76 ... huh?? Really, you're that offended? You did not get what i was saying, obviously.

  • @Tre404 i am not offended. i do not know what you are talking about. all i know is great music and it don't get better than this. easy on socalltd or others. this song has alot for it and my original coment is means it so.

  • @LAmonk76 ... your broken English is confusing me. My comment that referred to Bieber was in SUPPORT of this song! Stupid ass! You still don't get it. Let me spell it out for you. I was ridiculing the people who "disliked" this song by calling them Bieber fans! Do you get it now, you dull, thickheaded bastard??

  • @Tre404 going on a rant about dislikes is dull and thickheaded. insulting me and others and tying to be funny is not. what you are saying for this bieber guy who, i do not know who he is anyway. i don't care about.

  • @LAmonk76 ...go fuck yourself, asswipe. Guess what: You're not the only one who watches YouTube videos.... lol.. douchenozzle....

  • @Tre404 what the hell is your problem.. . leave us alone

  • @LAmonk76 ... listen, ass face.... you came messin with ME! I just posted a comment about people who "disliked" this song, and you got all gay and queenie about it. You came fuckin with ME!! And now you can't take the fucking fall-out, can you? How about you leave ME alone. I wasn't even TALKIN to your ass when I made my first post! Stupid motherfucker.

  • @Tre404 wha, wha, wha, curse word here, wha, wha, justin beaver, wha, wha, name calling, wha, wha, wha!

    lets not forget you replied to my comment. this shows your mature behind a computer.

  • @LAmonk76 ... Let's not forget WHAT?? You replied to mine FIRST, dumbass. Trying to tell me what to post and what NOT to post. So YOU are the douchebag in all this. I was only defending my right to post by responding to your silly ass. Way to revise history, dumbass.

  • @LAME-MONK ... Let's recap: I posted a comment deriding those who dislike this song. YOUR lame ass came fucking with ME about it, because you didn't understand my comment (big surprise). So the lesson here is to just not comment on shit you don't understand! Right? I LOVE this song. Why do you have a problem with that? Doesn't make any sense. But again, this is no big surprise given your obvious intellectual limitations. I mean, who misspells "you're" and types in all-lower-case letters?

  • @Tre404 i posted my original comment "if any person thumbs this down, YOU have no SOUL" first. check the comments sheets. and you replied to me directly. then i replied not knowing what you are talking about. this should not be a surprize if i do not know, or others, who this beaver person is. then YOU blew up on my and socalltd for not knowing what you are talking about. please read YOUR replies and look at you limitations and language in a conversation
