  • @marie280771. There you are. Not much to add!

  • Deep...

    

  • i love u phill

  • sometimes leaving is harder than coming back

  • Apparently Phil Collins wrote this one when his first wife Andrea had just run off with the decorator, and he played it on "Top of the Pops" at a piano with a paint pot on top :)

  • ahh fuck what an amazing tune this is..jesus christ

  • makes yu wanna sit back and smoke a fat doobie

  • dont waist your time on bill board.listen old school.like this one

  • ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW LOVE YOU GUY LOURDES THANKS ALWAYS

  • If leaving me is easy.....

  • Forever phil.

  • I love this song very much, but it hurt also at once... :'( :'(

  • Haunting, emotional and beautful track by the super talented Phil.

  • Great album. Great song.

  • De tudo que passou, as memórias fazem parte de cada história vivida, por aqueles que realmente tiveram a coragem de vive-las. Sem arrependimentos, afinal cada época tem seu

    valor. Tanks Collins por estar presente no passado e no presente.

  • Originally By The Isley Brothers :') 74

  • @h4rry50337 This is a Collins original---related to the divorce he was going through at the time.

  • Truly beautiful. The horns are so perfect.

  • CLASSIC - LOVE IT!!!

    

  • When I was young this was just music, nice and sentimental. Now I'm old I see how true it is.

  • wow the memories of a broken heart.....i played the album face value over and over again when I was told it was over......this song was so so true......

  • oops.look , GOOSEBUMPS - now 30 years later - WOW ! Thank Phil ! And Merry Christmas.

  • My most favorite all all 175 plus Phil Collins' songs that I know. BRILLIANT !

  • this is brilliant song from a brilliant album

  • Comment removed

  • bitter - sweet

  • This was the penultimate track to Phil's first solo album Face Value. When I hear this tune, my eyes always well up. This is such a beautiful track (the melancholic chords, Phil's vocals (especially the falsetto in the chorus), the orchestrations and the late Don Myrick's haunting alto saxophone solos). The three assholes who hate this song has no soul nor heart.

  • Nie znam artysty ,który by miał tak wiele pięknych melodi w swojej karierze jak Phil Collins

  • obra prima que nem o tempo pode tornar velha ou apagar

Brad

  • @imemoryfilms Wow Brad you got it bad

    She's out there, start 'lookin!!!

  • beautiful

    

  • This song is so smooth with such unique arrangements.

  • linda.Pena que hoje so temos funk e pseudo caipiras pra ouvir

  • "If leaving me is easy,

    Then you know coming back is harder... "

    Is the killer line in the song in my opinion...

  • but its not the origanal record, other than pink floyd, two saxaphonists, who are they. xx

  • feel this now, so sad, so disallusioned, so hurt,

    You see, I'd heard the rumours, I knew before you let me know

    But I didn't believe it, not you,

    No you would not let me go

    Seems I was wrong,

  • this song is sooo sexy i got lost in it.x

  • Phil Collins' Face Value' was his best solo work. Beautiful, bittersweet love song.

  • @ slickcrew I know how you feel.. It's been 8 long years since I met the girl who changed everything in my life.. I had to let her go because it was the wrong time back then, but there isn't a day that's passed from then until now that i haven't thought about her..

  • @aalwaps2 :)

  • HI, wow. SONG that is. Jeepers. PHIL? You wrote this song about your first wife. You have been married 3x and now divorced. I have no idea why ? When you are sad Mr Collins, you write and produce your best songs. Now you are single. Your music is gone. Please find a lady then divorce a fourth time. I miss your music. This written with best of intenstions. I love you Phil .

  • @ahfaxthis your comment made me :)

  • I Would Say the Nost Definitive Love Song EVERRRRRRR

  • written at the time Phil and John Martyn worked together on John's lp "Glorious Fool" ; John Martyn is all over this great song !!

  • Im dying inside :(

  • @slickcrew I agree and I heard alot of people say things,but I feel like the song says or means (I know deep in my heart ,I will never love ,laugh as I once did.......just wanted to comment I feel everyday that I am also dying inside..take care c.n

  • @slickcrew I meant that and whatever you are going through,I am as well for about 8 yrs.people think that loosing the onesthat mean the most to you is a hard process to go through?they havn't lost persons close to them and if it was that easy (I would or need the remedy!!!c.n

  • @thecrazybitch371 Thanks cn. some days are better than others as im sure you know, i was just having one of those crap days when the pain is unbearable :( You take care too x

  • E tutto si ferma...grande Phil

  • Far too many decades later .. this is still one of the most beautiful songs x

  • HONESTLY - is there a more beautiful break up song ever ! I don't THINK SO. Now, DONT" CALL ME AGAIN !

  • es fACIL dejarme volver dificil ,no creo siempre sedemos ante alguien quien amas con todo y eso es criterio de cada quien ,te amo mi panzon ,esta cancion la escuche contigo una vez fue muy hermoso ese recuerdo

  • Sou fã de PHIL COLLINS, essa música é simplismemte bela e romântica!

  • ISSO É MAIS QUE UMA MÚSICA É UMA ARTE

  • QUE MUSICA DA ZORRA EH ESSA MEU IRMAOOOOOO???? AFFFFF! A ENTRADA DO SAX EH DE LASCAR O CORAÇAO!!!!!!!! AFFFFF. PARABENS PHIL!!!!

  • Godbless Michael Sweetheart . .

    Your Comment really, really touched me!!!! :)

  • This is without a shadow of a doubt Phil at his best!

    I feel so blessed that i had "Hello i Must Be Goin n Face Value" as a teenager growin up when i didnt know properly how to deal with love back then!

    You Helped me get thru my hardest teenage yrs Mr Collins so godbless you my friend!

    Utterly a true "GENIUS!" :)

  • The great Arif Mardin's (RIP) string arrangement is just right, it doesn't overwhelm Phil Collins or the song itself. Just as Eric Clapton's guitar also isn't overplayed, this is just Phil's best, IMHO. The "sounds" between the music, the silence really speaks out here. Thank you for this!

  • i am looking for a known song who i dont remember the name it says on the song "thats the living...getting away"and something like this!?

  • My husband and soul mate left me for another woman and when he realized he was wrong he decided to come back... he died before he got here. This one is for him :O(

    RIP Michael

  • @auntipooh4 how sad is your story and all i can say is im sorry things turned out like that but you couldnt have picked a better song hun.x

  • This has to be the most beautiful soul song ever written by ... a white man !

  • Essa música toca profundamente na alma!

  • so sad :(

  • this song is so poignant to me..of being 14 and falling in love for the first time.. touching lyrics..

  • 2 people cant read >.<

  • this is not just a song, this is poetry

  • broken heart 1987 a girl from consett this tune says it all to me a boy from sunniside

  • People can accuse him of being 'middle of the road', but this is Collins' masterpiece - this is truly a great song. Chapeau Monsieur Collins. Merci bien pour toute la musique.

  • Suis triste aujourd'hui d'apprendre qu'il arrête... Quand on écoute sa voix sur cette chanson... C'est un moment divin...

  • Just for u 'minx.......XXXX

  • war das nicht gestern?

    Gute Musik ist Zeitlos

  • Its hard to believe that this song is thrty years old.Unreal.Thx for the post.

  • going through a divorce right now, and this son just sums up all that i have been going through. I am so glad that You Tube allows me to have real music in my life again

  • song is incredible...so much emotion in phil voice. The sax ...just conveys the message even more.

    The sax should be used alot more ...dont hear it too often in records of today.

  • JEEPERS, now that is a song !

  • What a song! this is probably 1 of the best songs he's ever made! im only 17 years of age....wasnt even borin in this era...and yet ive grown up to this sort of music......shows that the impossible can become possible! its such a beutiful song! Love it, forever in my heart! x

  • Sooooooo Many Memories this "Quality" track Brings Bac . . :)

    Cheers Buddy n "MERRY XMAS!" :) X x X x

  • THIS SONG, hands down his best one PHILS FACE VALUE and HELLO I MUST BE GOING cd's are among the best ever recorded - few songs made the charts (and that's a good thing). He wrote most of the songs himself and had no pressure to sell records - just make personal music that he shared with the world. I waited a lifetime for him to make a 3rd cd as good but he never has and never will. PHIL, thank you for these two gems. LOVE YA ALWAYS.

  • damned, this song is way TOO beautiful! so much memories ... thanks for putting it here . soul, truth, feeling and MUSIC! wish there would be things like this today. thanks!

  • "im in a crowd and on my own"........

  • I love this song so much i was born in 79 so way to young to hear it when it first came out but i do remember hearing phil collins when i was like 4 or 5 and his voice so memerizing im a man and i can say i love you phil collins haha!

  • SAD SONG SOUNDS LIKE MY LIFE

  • but your heart,, heart still remains,,, and it,ll be here if you come again,,,,,,,,,,, :(((

  • That's the one thing that you can not take away

  • bring me back to the mistake of leaving my 80% for 20%

  • this guy is a genius -- I read he is contemplating retirement because a few arttists of today consider his music and talent marginal -- Phil was number 2 to Michael Jackson in pop music in the 80's -This song [and his artistry] is great!!!- ENJOY!!!!! thank you for posting

  • I love this song

  • I remember my first time listening to this beautiful song it brung back lots of memories, I'd have to admit that I broke down, But after words I smiled :-)

  • My heart just melted at 2:56

  • Linda,perfeita.

  • It's just the opening saxophone lead-in... Those notes are words that I don't understand but I know it feels...

    But I still can't hear any Clapton guitar... I don't think he's playing at all, I reckon he just happening to be hanging around saying how good the tune is...!

  • It's just the opening saxophone lead-in... Those notes are words that I don't understand but I know it feels...

  • Absolutely, wonderful song. 

  • memories....xxx

  • Essa música é linda demais,quê isso...

  • This song aint got shit over anything on the Tarzan OST. That's where Phil shows his true genius - his real passion.

  • Maravilhosa canção!

  • Esta musica é aquela para ser ouvida juntos!!!!

  • Les chants désespérés sont les chants les plus beaux  Alfred de Musset

  • such an amazing song :) photographs and memories is a nice one by jason reeves check tht :)

  • Eu sou apaixonada por essa musica xD

  • Phil Collins is a genius

  • Comment removed

  • amo essa música!!!

  • wow ive loved phil collins music for so long...and had never heard this..this song is beautiful :)

  • Simply beautiful.

  • this song is... wonderful.. the reality of pain... it's make me cry sometimes...

  • People these days,i'm talking the younger generation don't even know the meaning of the word LOVE and what it stands for,trust me i know my parents were together for 50 years in marriage. Some women think they can always do better with someone else,that will make them happier it's such crap...

  • i used to play this song all the time ,, when my wife left me for someone else,, i loved her with all my heart, we were together for 10 years, i miss her so much it,s been 5 years now, and she,s still on my mind, the drugs don,t help, or the drink,. she was wonderful, hope she found everything she wanted, i love her

  • @chas366 your a legend for having tht outlook good man.

  • @toddmichaelreeves hey thanks man,, it,all gets better with time,, i guess, the longer the dream goes on the harder the fall will seem,, when it,s gone,, anyway thanks again,,

  • @chas366 I'm so sorry --Great songs can bring back the memories and the feelings we had at the time-but they can't physically take us back to that moment in time-- That's the hardest part - We hold on to our memories- After all,that's what life is all about -no matter how cruel it turns out to be

  • i heard this when my ex left me and i no that if you love someone you have to set them free and if they come bak then i was meant to be and if they dont then they never loved you in the first place maybe im wrong but thats my views happy listening

  • mi tema favorito de phill collins....como para escucharlo con fonos ...en un dia frio como hoy ...otro clasico ¡¡¡

  • nothing better than this..wonderfulllllllll.......­.

  • I remember when we dance with this song...

  • After in the air tonight this is my second favorite P.C song

  • Beautiful song, but I hope everyone realize that this song is a remake of the Isley Brothers song.

  • @grosskopf2 ....You're Wrong, The Isley Brothers covered this song on their 1985 album, Masterpiece.

  • @esotericbydesign

    I stand corrected. You are right. My mistake. Still a beautiful song.

  • @grosskopf2

    No - this is written and sung by our British songwriter Phil Collins

  • @belazela Understood, I was wrong. Hey how is freema Ageyman doing , I love her. I miss her on Doctor Who and we don't get the British version in the states.

  • But I didn't believe it, not you

    No you would not go

    Seems I was so wrong

    If leaving me was that easy

    Then coming back should be...
