  • I got to see Phil Collins in a private concert at XM Satellite Radio in 2004. I was 12 feet from him. I was in tears when he sang In The Air Tonight on the piano. This was the best moment in my life. I will never forget his music. There are 2 artists that I like Phil Collins and Bob Seger .

  • thats because phil sang for genesis mite as well been on his own thru it all, thats probally why he went solo

  • love it

  • The biggest problem I had with Phil Collins in the 1980's was that at times I could not distinguish him (solo) or when he was with Genesis. The music was similar regardless solo or Genesis. Good music all through.

  • I love this song! It really speaks to me...

  • HAPPY 61TH BIRTHDAY PHIL COLLINS !!!!!!!!!!

  • happy birthday!

  • wtf is that Eric Clapton playing lead?

  • The thing about Phil Collins is he is a musical genius. For the younger folks ....there was this group called Genesis. They were a popular progressive band. The lead singer was Peter Gabriel. They put out some really great music. But eventually Peter wanted to move out on his own. Phil, who was the groups drummer resisted becoming the lead singer. And Then There Were Three. :) The rest is history with a legacy of so much great music.

    .

  • "This was no good"..... Well I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one Jeffrey Tambor.

  • Phil Collins - I Wish It Would Rain Down recuerdos y mas recuerdos great!

  • it feels good to hear song from your child hood that made you feel love and free wow makes me feel like a kid again so lovin phil still........

    hes a bad man

  • So many fond memories of my childhood with this song. Warm fire places, dads stereo playing loudly in the lounge room. We were a young family brought up listening to such amazing artists as Phil Collins, and for that I am truly grateful. It's hard to hear this sometimes, I wish it would never end <3

  • YEAH ! ! ! what they said !

  • Mr Phil Collians plays the best music because back than music had a great sound and meaning to it

  • 2 awesome artists.. Music when it was still music played by people who could hold mind blowing notes live play an instrument.. Talented artists who can draw amazing numbers to a concert..

  • How the music video fits this song is incredible, ending the most when he says, Let's cut the Number and This was no good - aspecially having in mind that this is (in my humble opinion) the best song Collins ever made, just great to listen to over and over again !!!

  • his music bring's on a smile"

  • Phil Collins doesn't care about negative comments because he's never going to see them & I can guarantee he doesn't give a fuck about gobshites mocking his beautiful music

  • you all know the dislikes came from how much the song makes them cry in shame.

  • Welcome Back Phil Collins - Fantastic ! we're here with you brother all the way ♥

  • Excellent !!!

    Donny and Sylvia

  • MASTERPIECE !

    

  • To all the people who know and understand music, Eric was, is and always will be a legend. To the dumb ass's who dont then its your loss and i'm sure you will find comfort in whatever piss you happen to listen to. but as for playin guitar, name me a better player............

  • When you have two of the all time greatest musicians and song writers colaberate to create a masterpiece of words and music its epic. Makes you feel sorry for the 51 dislikes and all the others who arent mentallly able to comprehend and appreciate extraordinay talent and music.

  • If you do not like this music, then why do you listen to it and make bad comments? Just leave the page and find something that you like. Jeez!!! Music is an Art and Phil Collins was one of the more talented artists in the 80's...Love you Plil Collins!!!!!

  • rnu kidding me! that guitar would meow for him if he asked it to!

  • 2.6 million hits... He must suck...

    He's so bad he has to get someone to fly his private jet for him.

    To all the haters, I DON"T CARE ANYMORE.....

  • He's a better actor than singer. And he's a lousy actor.

  • @MrRazorblade999 Jeez! Debbie Downer! Take a chill pill!

  • @MrRazorblade999 LOL!!

  • There is something within me that awakens whenever I hear this....For You..James !

  • au 50 qui n'aime pas je vous dis...rien je vous parle pas na !!

  • 50 n'aime pas ?? Ben ça alors ! 

  • 50 dislikes? are you serious? wow, some of you people live a miserable life...

  • @quez76 suck my balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @lebelleage o, i see your one of them, dont worry, it gets better...

  • @quez76 i agree mate

  • ITS GEORGE SENIOR!!

  • one of the greatest singers and authors... he marks my life!

  • eric clapton!!!!

  • did anyone notice the appearance of humphrey bogart on the szene based on the maltese falcon at all? (6:20) , by the way it surely is an impersonator , rip humphrey

  • @NOOBR1FF87 YEAH!!! I love Bogie!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • 1:48 NOPE Chuck Testa :O

  • LOL, I forgot about this video. Phil really was the drummer in a band and when the lead singer left he took over (Genesis of course), and that really is Chester Thompson, the Genesis and Phil touring drummer. Clapton only played on this song, but they have backed each other up on various songs over the years.

  • Never knew that was Clapton on guitar... Love Phil!

  • SIMPLESMENTE PERFEITO ESSA CANÇÃO...

    PHILL COLLINS É O MESTRE!!!!!

  • Brilliantly adorable...yeah, I said that! ;)

  • to murfinias: know wtf you are talking about before you make such stupid comments. PHIL........NOT BILL........DUMBASS!!!!!!

  • I must be growin up.im really diggin this now.

  • what a man xxx

  • What a voice!!!!

  • começa em 2:25

  • love his music <3

  • soooooooooo

    beau

  • heard this song more than 1000 times. first time watching the video..its kinda disappointing. Mr. Bill Collins no doubt has talent tho. The video. is lame. Sorry. just my opinion.

  • havent heard this song in 18 years...woww beautiful

  • You know your good when you have Clapton playing for you.

  • sure do miss his music on the radio...he was among the best ever...productions...lyrics...­.hard to compete...and 99% couldn't......

  • i'm 14

  • I'm 19, and I can't stop think is there anybody in my age.

  • @TheTheoryMaster Im 15.8)

  • @TheTheoryMaster

    i'm 14

  • @TheTheoryMaster i'm 14

  • @TheTheoryMaster glad there people your age who are still here. Still, in 2012. I'm 22. And people may criticise us, say indie rock rescues us, there is still a lot of great music. Yes, but where is this spirit, genuine? Pure? I'm sorry If I offend anyone.

  • @TheTheoryMaster i'm a foetus

  • @TheTheoryMaster I am 19 and I can't stop listening to Phil's music.

  • @TheTheoryMaster I'm a 2 years old joke but I listen to good music :3 age doesn't make taste, luckely ^-^

  • fck the director.

  • Eric Clapton short acting carrier..i cant believe i just seen that..wow..

  • I never knew George Bluth Sr. directed musicals.

  • PHIL IS A GENIUS!,, MY FAVORITE ARTIST EVER

  • thumbs up if u hate videos with long-ass intros

  • A lot of people tell me that this is corny...all I hear is good music.

  • clapton is the greatest no more to say

  • "Didem - wadem - chu..." (For those who know that sitcom reference.) And thanks to MJ, for the legions of 20 minute intros to all of the MTV videos back then. Bring back downtown Julie Brown - wubba, wubba, wubba.

  • this is one guy where every song is a classic........ and you know what, I'm not exactly a fan either! and i mean EVERY song

  • Who wants to tell easykiller1 that Mr. Clapton can make a guitar do things unknown... Just like Jimi Hendrix, BB King and many others... the electric guitar was MOST CERTAINLY around in the 80's... get your facts together....Phil and so many other greats collaborated back when the music was still MUSIC.

  • @scoobygurl2121 your rite but clapton is a dick and his Music isn't that great..the guy isn't a God.when was the last time anyone listened to a album of clapton the guys a dirtbag if i was George Harrison i would have kicked his ass and broke his fingers. Hendrix, Bbking and the other greats had class and respect for other musicians clapton would try to fuck your mom if he could, fuck clapton and jimmy paige the biggest plagiarizers of the blues and music around period.

  • awesome .. nice sketch but phil can sing mr "director"

  • I thought I know only 3 Collins's songs but as I open every other, I realise that he's been with me for whole my life!

  • who should tell em that the electric giutar wasn't invented yet?

  • @TheEasykiller1 you're stupid. the first electric guitar was invented in 1931. also, read scoobygurl2121's comment, she knows what she's talking about.

  • @leszekp2000

  • What about Chester?

  • well phil, i think you're a good actor regardless what that director says

  • Yeah LOVE music videos like short movies :) And the song mmmm cure for souls.

  • yes eric, hell no phil... learn how to play an instrument cause you look like a fag in this video... there should at LEAST be some rain.. and hopefully electricute his midget ass into the lake that he hippocritically "watched" somebody watch someone drown.. This song should be call ooooh yes i wish i would drown now..

  • @iseeu1980 I noticed that too! :)

  • Love the clip, love u Phil, u are so talented.

  • hey is that the guy from Arrested D too?

  • eric with the shoe polish in his beard is killin me...

  • it was asome

  • like a great escape after a horrid xperience

  • 43 ppl have no soul....

  • I've always loved the skit at the beginning of this video, and was always so disappointed when they would show the short version.

  • Is that a small double intended joke at the beggining, when Clapton says "He was the drummer in a very good band and when the singer left he took over?" Are they talking about Genesis and Peter Gabriel?

  • @42ppereira I'd have to say, "Yeah it was." 

  • Is that a small double intended joke at the beggining, when Clapton says "He was the drummer in a band and when the singer left he took over?" Are they talking about Genesis?

  • @42ppereira nope, is not about Genesis!

  • buenisimooooo

    

  • clapton and phil collins damn right cant get better than that!

    what a song

  • clapton and phil collins damn right cant get better than that!

  • Slow Hand RULES.....

  • Eric!  His best guitar solo.

  • Collins and Clapton! Can it get any better than that?!

  • Did you notice Eric Clapton as well :) some ppl do not even know who that is.. 

  • @Dnangel665

    Lol, just tuned in to listen to this song, saw Eric Clapton and thought exactly the same thing, Its a sad day for music when the question becomes....... Thats Eric Clapton hhhhmmmmm I wonder how many others may have noticed ? How things have changed

  • @Dnangel665 I think that's Jeffrey Tambor as the director

  • @ClassicRocker61 Eric clapton is the one on the stool who says that Billy is a a good singer and was a drummer for a good band :D

  • @Dnangel665 my friend didn't know who eric clapton was. so, i punched him. he knows now.

  • @Dnangel665 if they don't it is because they were born yesterday.

  • @Dnangel665 Which is really sad.

  • what is this song about?

  • Phil y Erik en un mismo tema....el resultado es la brillantes de sonido y melodía!!

  • I wish it would rain down on me..in a good way

  • @jimjr155 Strange...I was listening to Wish You Were Here last night and it got me thinking about this song tonight. Cool to see your post.

  • @jimjr155 except this is a good song

  • A little Phil....a little Eric....how can you go wrong

  • lady gaga? jajaja, por dios como comparas a phil con esa loca, ni para ejemplo, por dios

  • Jefferey Tambor? awesome!

  • isto sim é música e não essas porcarias que há por ai....

  • BEAUTIFUL!!! GREETINGS FROM CHILE :D

  • Great freakin' video! Imagine the thought process involved with the making of this! True talent before your very own eyes! I am soooo glad I grew up with this music and the artists that make it possible.... Pay attention people! Stop being so predictable and open your minds to all that is possible if you realize your hidden talents.... This is what America's youth is sadly missing....

  • Lady Who? Look for her in a few years in the "moldy oldies" section, yet Phil Collins will be going as powerfully as ever. He is one of the great talents of both this and the last century. Lady what's-her-name is halfway to the dumpster already, to where she is best suited.

  • Awesome!!! Best clip ever!!!

  • DIGGIN THE CLAPTON CAMEO!!!!!!!! WINNING.

  • No modern artist can even come close to producing a song this good.

  • Love the 'Sunshine' style intro bit - very clever :)

  • a great song love phil collins

  • It's George Bluth!
