Its about someone the lead singer knew,he saw him kill someone,and kept it silent,til his concert,and he gave him tickets to his concert,and sang this song right infrount of him,cause phil collins knew what he did,so the guy who killed that person,walked out of the concert,and killed himself,cause phil collins knew ! he knoew !
01/01/1982 this song new and popular the time 01- 23- air temp and wind chill I remember do you LUCIFER DAY and SATANS vacation ANTI-CHRIST 666 DAY 12/25/1981 11/13/1981 was friday the 13th linked to me and natalie wood being "hexed on 10/31/1981 and 4 weeks later 11/28/1981 hope you all know whats going on 30 years later Its that Important to me.
I swear I'm just sitting here at the end waiting for him to just scream #### YOU!!! Lol he sounds so angry, hurt, and passionate. But hes much to good to use such profanity, which earns him bonus points in my opinion.
he says oh lord, i am dutch just listen carefull how comes that every thinks hold on? the "oh" should do enough anyway epic drumsolo!! free restarts 3:39
@blubyblubyblu its about the anger he felt toward his first wife that he divorced in the late 70's. IT messed him up so much he actually took a break from Genesis because of the divorce.
No its about how he watched his brother die cuz some guy didnt try and save his brother from drowing. He would have tryied to save him but he couldnt swim. Later on when this song was big he sent front row tickets and a tshirt to the guy and made sure he sang this song
I used to be in nothing but country then this song intorduced my rock and eminem intoduced me into rap i love this song and im a young kid 12 and my dad is 32 and havent herd this song yet!!!
Seriously, I've loved this song for god knows how long. How can anyone personally dislike it? Thats like saying. I think ill give my son away today. No one would do it.
(drum) that's my favorite part. lol member on the hangover when mike tyson was listening to this and he was like wait wait this is my favorite part (drums) ahaha <3
this is a kick ass song so dont fight over the meaning because no one knows what it is. not even collins himself. and one more thing stop taking the whole drowning thing as if someone actually was drowning because it could just be a figure of speech and most likely is.
All right, let me set the record straight... This song is NOT about a guy drowning! It's about Phil's first marriage ending in divorce! His wife cheated on him & he caught her in the act! ("I was there & I saw what you did/ I saw you with my own 2 eyes") He was so mad he didn't even want to speak to her. ("If you told me you were drowning/ I would not lend a hand.") He even said so in an interview that the song is about his divorce.
This song has many myths such as it was his brother who drowned, or it was because of his divorce, or he witnessed thsi when he was young, or he doesn't even know what it's about.
Well he has stated many of these theories. For all we know he could be lying. Who knows what really happened it's a mystery, an unsolved mystery
Why do people always say this song is about someone who drowned? That is not what it was about. He wrote it after his divorce. He doesn't even know what it's about. Good song though.
as much as w/e happened may be painful, but think phil collins is being rather judgemental here.
i mean, sure the drowning person wasn't saved, and someone is responsible for his death because they didn't save him, but they have to live with that death on their shoulders for the rest of their lives. why does he have to judge and make that person feel even worse?
i'm sure that person lives in remorse and wishes he had saved the person from drowning.
c the singer he track this guy down and gave him tickets to his concert because when the singer was little him and his freind went fishing and his friend started to drown the the other guy was there and he did not do anything.
No actually the song is about Phil Collins wife and this guy.He had seen this guy's face before but he didn't know who he was.So when Phil Collins went home he saw his wife and the man kissing.Some few days later,he saw the man that he saw with his wife drowning and the man was yelling help,but Phil Collins didn't help him because the man was with his wife.
i love this song the first time i heard this song i fell in love with it.my sister was playing it and i was in the bathroom,and i ran in here and said what is this?i then loved it from then on.if you don't love this song you are crazy.
thats pretty much it exept that hes at a summer camp and he sees a kid drowning and the councler sees him and doesent try to save him and phill collins is singing to the councler
Actually no.... VH1 interviewed him one time and asked him if he actually saw someone drown and he said no... "to be honest, I don't even know what I was trying to say back then" -Phil COllins
