LOL family guy with the piss tke of the poltergeists where stuie goes through the tv and his voice is like the sound affect and he sings a bit from the song PMSL LOL and the drumming gorilla chocolate advert EPIC SONG
used to listen to this when i was about 5 with my older brother, and we would wait until the drums kick in 'til we turned it up full pelt. brilliant tune
collins is a nasty little man. we lived in godalming years ago and he is a fucking cunt. his wfe at the time would come in the shop and not have enough money as he kept her well short. he was asked to donate to a church jumble sale and he told the people organising it to sod off. and he would then come on the tv and say send in your money to live aid. what a nasty little fraud he is. he writes songs about the homeless yet he threatens to leave the country when he might have to pay more tax
Seeing this vid after all these years (no longer as a kid) helps me understand the gravity of dude's situation/inspiration. To think I was only excited about the coolness of the sound, the breakthrough of drums 'n' funk and the unforgettable hook. Hey... classic! God bless, t*
I guess I must be one of the few people who found out about this song by hearing it on the radio. Everyone else seems to know it as "the song from the hangover" or "the song from miami vice"
haha whenever i hear this i think back to the hangover! Best movie ever. No joke people are still going to be laughing there heads off about it in 10 years!!!
all u fags who think this song is cool cuz u heard it on the hangover need to start listening to goodmusic instead waiting for someone to put it into a movie! movies suck balls 90% of the time!! phil rocks! "its all been a pack of lies"
Creepy tone. I remember this song used to scare me when i was little cause i thought it had to do with Jason. I know i am a retard but the song is kinda close though it is about some one drowning, great song. Phil you killed it with the drum solo at the end.
I heard this song was about a boy drowning and Phil witnessed it listen to the lyrics it makes perfect sense. 'i was there and I saw what you did, if you were drowning I would not lend a hand'.
The 'bitter side of a separation' is one of those fundamentally human, timeless stories that no one fully understands...but everyone can relate to. I don't want to like this song or any Phil Collins bullshit, but I have to admit that I DO like it.
It's not surprising that it has spawned urban legends.
what a timeless voice he has, and the music, some of the best ever. We'll never see or hear a band like Genesis and two artists like Gabriel and Collins ever again.
have to agree with Rudzie, you are indeed an idiot. This is timeless, if you were born after 1976 don't bother commenting on things that you didn't live through. This song was a hit even before Miami Vice, in fact I would like to think that this song alone had people tuning in to the show.
I don't think the year a song was made has anything to do with it. But I agree, this a truely fantastic, mesmorizing song. But being born after 1976 doesn't matter. I was born in '93 and I still love this song.
i love phill collins he is a f$*&ing legend,i love him soooooooo much his voice his lyrics he sooooo emotional in his songs its unbelivable we need more songs phill what a LEGEND!!!
The lyrics really take me back to when my parents were going through a bitter divorce. Children are the ones the pay the price when parents get remarried.

this song is about him being on one side of a lake at night, and on the other side it took him awhile to figure out what was going on. but it was a little boy who was drowning, and a man was just watching him.

when he figured out who the man was, he invited him to his concert of this song.
