  • One of Phil's best IMO, but reminds me of a sad time in my life ...

  • Eccellente, bravo Phil

  • beautiful ♥♥♥

  • Very nice song! Thanks for it.

  • Очень красивая песня! Спасибо, Фил!

  • Why doesnt my generation get fabulous artists?? Bull shit!!

  • Crazy about this song !!

  • @mrdodo: Tolles Video. Mal Szenen, die nicht jeder gesehen hat. (So wie ich) ...;o)

    Findes es sehr sehr gut gemacht. LG Naddl

  • Mal abgesehen davon, dass eine markante Passage des Songs einer ebenso markanten Passage von "Flashdance" ähnelt... ja, ein toller Song, der einzig nennenswerte auf "Both Sides". Der Song leidet nur unter der sehr schlechten Produktion des gesamten Albums. Schade, aber vielleicht kommt ja mal ein Remix ;-)

  • this is my favotie song.....

  • Yes -- This was and is one of the best Phil Collins songs. When "Both Sides" came out, Nirvana and Pearl Jam were taking over the radios - Phil was in the past. It's a shame though....He still was coming out with some really moving stuff.

  • One of my favorite songs ever recorded.

  • Meu Deus como alguém fez uma musica tão magnífica como essa, é muito difícil alguém ficar indiferente com esta canção. Só um Gênio como Phil Collins poderia ter feito algo assim.

    e Vida longa ao Phil Collins.

  • this is such a lovely enchanting song.

  • this is such a lovely enchanting song

  • Schade, dass das Album "Both sides" von dem Medien damals so unterbewertet worden ist. Für mich ist es das beste Album, was er solo rausgebracht hat!

    Dieses Lied und "Dreaming while you sleep" habe ich sofort geliebt und das ist auch heute noch so!

    Phil Collins war/ist und bleibt für mich einer der besten Popsänger der Welt!!!

    Meine Hochachtung für diesen wunderbaren Menschen!

  • Well done song, Mr. Collins!

  • The best song ever made . Vocals and intruments made in heaven. I love Phills simple yet deep music

  • This song sends shivers down the spine

    its relly greatest heartfelt to the truth song people.

  • My favorite Phil Collins song... from my favorite album. Love it, love it... love it!!

  • Has he ever done this song live? Easily the best of his songs that didn't get much if any airplay.

  • Toujours une aussi belle voix :-; merci Monsieur Phil Collins et la musique c'est superbe:-)

  • this song makes me calm and it's definetely his best song ever

  • Underrated.

  • I love this song... what an amazing songwriter.

  • I'm certain this song would have been used on Miami Vice had it still been in production when Phil came out with this. He was hugely influential in the music of that show anyway, and this sounds like it would have been a good fit in an episode.

  • @thebakerman1 You are telling on yourself there....but I totally agree and I was a huge fan of that show, probably because of Phil Collins attachment to the show and this song would have fit so good into the shows drama and suspensful scenes. I can almost picture it now.....man what great times!

  • @deaconwillful Yes indeed. Telling on myself I am . . .

    I lived in the area they shot Miami Vice and would see them at times shooting scenes in my travels around the county. I even tried out for as extra in one of the episodes but wasn't chosen. Was merely a quick walk-by but it would have been fun nonetheless :)

    Still, it's my all-time favorite TV show.

  • to quintocranus:

    Yes, very true. It has such a magic that relieves of your stress - like a medicine like no other

  • Shades of Mexican and other influence here in one of Mr Collin's best songs ever. If you can 'hear' it in reggae it works just as well, too. [A relic of my upbringing in Brixton, I'd guess].

    tac

  • 0:14 reminds me of the Old Snake theme from Metal Gear Solid 4.

  • Thanks!! It's beautiful!!!

  • I have the Album and I totally love it and this song gives me chills its that good.

    Phil has always been my favorite and Genesis as well.

    You are amazing Phil, keep them coming, you make us happy. Hope to meet you someday.

  • I've already told someone that this song reminds me of "us". But it's the most beautiful song I've heard in awhile from Phil. This one goes out to 60strat. You know who you are. Phil you did it again, and again. Genius!

  • I like this song very much! It´s wonderfull!!!

  • very great man !!! i love him !!!

  • Dodo, it`s one of my favorites too.

  • @chuchilco ME TOO. Thou it's very hard to pick a favorite of his. I always have to say "it's on my fav. list"

  • I Love this song!!

  • WOW! Why isn't this more famous?

    Absolutely brilliant!

  • @Konknortenbavou Because the album just didn't produce the numbers that his previous ones did. As a result, it's exposure was rather limited. Plus, I don't think radio in the early to mid '90's was interested in a slow moving, "deep" song. Too much cheesy pop, boy bands and hip-hop for this song to work. So, the rest of the world lost out. We, however, have not. Thank you Mr. Collins.

  • I used to bring the casette tape to school all the time.

  • Superbe Vidéo,Que du Bonheur!!!

  • la plus belle chanson!!

  • trop belle

  • I was 12 years old when I bought this album in 1993, and this song has inspired me to play guitar

  • song is sick with it ... big fan of him

  • I rememeber getting the album for christmas on tape and this was one of the first songs that caught my ear :-)

  • This is music that goes straight to your soul and stays with you long after the song is over!

    I like your vid!

  • this man wil never repeat him selfs

  • AAAHH-MAZING song. Brilliant Artist. Enough said.

  • This song is the best he has ever written and that is not something said lightly, as he is the most amazing singer. This song makes me cry and smile and hurt inside, he puts so much feeling and heart into it and besides...it is so true.

  • Absolutely awesome and profound!

     Phil Collins- lifelong and eternal inspiration!

    JAI PHIL COLLINS!

  • This is surely Phil Collins at his best... All the instruments were performed by him on this album... and this song, according to me his best performance in the album..

  • What an amazing song. Pity the video didn't do it justice.

  • When I hear this song I can't help but think of my father. Our relationship was decimated decades ago. The lyrics are as if I wrote them myself.

  • probably my favorite Phil song. stunning atmosphere, the melodies are sad and gorgous at the same time. all round perfect song

  • Wonderful theme and video*****

    Hugs

    Susana

  • Amazing song

    Jackie

  • Fantastic song. One of the best I've heard in my life.

  • Best Gait.

  • The Best song i have ever heard.

  • Hello do everything on the right time  like Phil COLLINS .

  • 'life passes before my eyes

    something's I see make me smile

    something's they make me cry'

    I'm sure everyone has been there.

  • masterwork.....

  • temazo

  • I remember when Both Sides came out in November of 1993. The record company didn't promote it and neither did VH1 or MTV. When I listened to it, I thought this is Phil Collins at his most serious. It seems to me that Phil was trying to say something without the typical humor he uses.

  • yes, and i like the atmosphere in this song

  • A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~Leopold Stokowski

  • I was one of the priviledge few to own Both Sides before it came out in 1993. The moment I heard "We Fly So Close" it nearly brought me to tears. I have spent many years trying to find out why Phil wrote this song. I thought "Take Me Home" was an emotional song for me because the song was about a guy in a mental institution.

    Both Sides was indeed an under-rated album. Simply the best emotional song he has ever written and sang.

  • This song is really touching the heart! Such a great and emotional song.... and what music : great synths and guitars....Knowing it since 1993 : bought then the album Both Sides (of the Story)....Phil Collins is so talented : he can put you in a positive/humouristic way to go further! Thank you for sharing this!

  • Easily one of his best songs...that nobody has ever heard. "Both Sides" was an underrated album.

  • @firstmusic00

    I completely agree that this is easily one of his best songs. AND that Both Sides was an underrated album. It is my favorite.

  • @firstmusic00 Finally! someone who really is a true Phil Collins Fan. "Both Sides" was my favorite album and I have been following Phil since he was just a drummer. This album showed off his versatility. He actually made the entire album in his studio at his home, playing almost all of the instruments and of course singing. GREAT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

  • @firstmusic00 very underrated in fact its the nearest thing to a 'album for the fans' because its just him at his home. the whole album should be heard on a proper system in the dark with just the moon as company. its magic.really.

  • Agree.

    This is one of my favorite songs of Phil :)

  • @firstmusic00 very underrated but you have to admit you really need to listern to it in a room. with no interruptions and a bloody good music equipment.

  • @xwingclass All Phill's fand need a bloody good music equipment!

  • @firstmusic00 i think problem with both side was it was never ment to be a 'commercial' album it was some personnal songs he brought together for his fans. most were songs which didnt make it on but seriously.. but bloody good album though.

  • Just stunningly beautiful, lyrics, and music

  • We do.. we do ;-)

  • I actually think this is the best song Phil has ever written. It's just so moving.

  • The mood created by Phil in this song is so amazing... so much solitude, sadness, a sense of not having anywhere to go. Phil is such a genius to have his songs create the right mood.

  • This is Phil Collins best song ever, and I'm a Fil Phan, but especially "Genesis Geek"!

  • Wow, Phil Collins deserved so much more. his music is sooo pure.

  • just wonderful

  • Just a stunning song. Why this doesnt get more recognition (along with the album) is just beyond me.

  • every place you run to...me muero sin Phil...

  • Muy buen video compilatorio de la Gira Both sides tour. Saludos amigo Dodo.

    V1toko (El del foro)

  • Heh, you're right man... Didn't notice it until I read your comment. Good job :)

  • legendary stuff from phil collins! this is great!!!!

  • EMOCIONA...

  • Every song on this album has such an amazing lyric...this one is one of the best, it´s amazing the feeling of sadness, isolation, anger, resignation... just amazing!!!

  • It is one of Phil's best song but from one of Phil's worst album.

    Viscous circle :(

    However, wish I could turn back the time when I was young....

  • this is great,it help to shows us the way we live at tyms.

  • a musica... tem destas coisas: transporta-nos no tempo e no espaço, e vai buscar tempos e memórias que; sabe bem recordar quando menos se espera.... thank`s for this great music..phill and of course... mrdodo.

  • J'ai ecouté cette chanson il y a 10ans la melodie est resté dans ma tete...c'etait pas evident d'avoir l'enregistrement dans cette region du monde à ce moment là! les Anges du ciel savent que je l'ai cherché avec les moyens que je possedais!!! c'est aujourd'hui que je l'ecoute encore, je ne peux m'empecher de verser des larmes en ecoutant cette melodie ... et les mots correspondent tant à ma vie. a ton of thanks mrdodo for posting this song. your are a Connaisseur!

  • ..this is pure music!!! One of his best songs ever...i´m sure that everyone here is thinking on his own story belonging Phils words...

  • My harbour lights are fading fast soon they'll disappear alone I sit in darkness hoping someone might come near though I wait, though I try no one ever comes and the feeling that I have flood over me the river starts to run We fly so close we fly so close sometimes we fly too close
  • We fly so close and Pink Floyds "Time" and "High Hopes " . . . Thats my heroin. Totally trip out songs.

    WE FLY SOOOOO CLOSE....

  • A great song - so soothing and relaxing you won't find on the web

  • One of my favourite too ! So deep and desperate.. Great !

  • Yessss, finally:D i'm so happy that u share this video with us!!:*

  • Ooh, oh this song. the memories. Thank you soo soooo much for posting this song.

  • I have no words to thank you for posting this song. Every word of this song reflects with an amazing accuracy some part of my life. One of Phil's best songs ever, both in lyrics and music.

  • Great song! It leaves me perplexed knowing that the composer of such song is from a western nation of demons. Nevertheless, the MOST HIGH seems to grant good gifts and talents to all of His creation; in that I rejoice. Peace and Shalom,

  • Thanks for not cutting his head off Saddam.

  • Aaaaah....Both Sides is SUCH an amazing record. It's a shame more people don't know about this song....flawless.

  • Amesome... greatest song...!

  • perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect. A great song, A great video

  • This is my Favorite Phil song, for the "90-2000's, I think..... : ) He's just too good.

  • Great song!! Great Phill!!! I love all his sons, but this is the best! so sweet!!

  • One of the best songs Phil has ever written. Too bad not that many people have head of it....despite being around since 1993. =(

  • all by himself... always Phil!

  • "All by himself", was how Phil recorded his FAV album "Both Sides" before he left England for Switzerland.

  • Just love that song...

  • Fantastic!

  • it s real this paradise? ... Phil makes me fly... alone and with him ... I like the comments about this song, Phil is the body of Genesis , as Tony is the soul, Peter the surprise, Mike the misterious one... Steve ...a raritie...!..Ant Phillips the angel...

  • MY FAVORITE SONG.

    Phil come to Brazil.

  • That is the best song i´ve ever heard from Phil. The Voice, the Arragement, the Text....every part of this song is perfect.

  • i need the song same moon

  • PERFECT

  • For me, this is Phil Collin´s best ever song! Self written, self performed and it´s the one song, where I can feel the relationship to me!

  • Definately, I loved this song since I was a kid. :)

  • i love this song, thanks for the video also =)

  • When i'm listenning to this music, i feel that that i'm flying into the air. Thank you very much it, but, if you could post the rest of the album both sides, it could be very, very great!

  • I think this is very underrated song because this song has same amazing athmosphere like in Home by the sea.

  • It is not Life, it is from the CD 1993.

  • Many thanks for uploading this very nice and personal song from Phil. So is the whole album : Both Sides of the Story! Also thank you for putting the lyrics!!

    Great!!

  • Both Sides of the Story ... Marvelous album that I remember always like a piece , one of the most important, in my life...
