  • hey cockbreath why dont you refrain from fucking singing the song while you record it. no one typed in man on the corner genesis with some shit stain singing in the background.

  • u can tell phil is a good dude in real life....u can't fake this shit.

  • this song describes me to the letter

  • Wonderful Song, but damn it! wath a terrible Video! suck it! and fuck off!

  • what she waits for i dunno

  • This is without a doubt the coolest song ever written in all of human history.

  • phils a legend as frontman 4 genesis and as a solo artist.Man on the corner this is a great track.

  • great song

  • topman

  • one of patrick bateman's favourite songs.

  • i like to exfoliate my nipples, while i dunk my ass in large amounts of phosphoric acid

  • @RzXVeRSaTiiLe As do I, as do I.

  • here s an idea sit back and don t move can hear all kinds of background shit in yur bedroom u dum little focker

  • are you crying!?... pussy.

  • True if I could I would help every homeless person in this world straight up

  • this song makes me so sad. i miss my girl :( (and yes, i do understand it's really about a homeless man)

  • If you love this song, you should also listen to "Another Day in Paradise" (also by Phil Collins), which also is about the same thing---homelessness, but on a grander scale there.

  • This is Phil at his best here!!!  enjoy this video

  • phil collins is underrated and is the best. period

  • Poor quality.

  • this song is about the prophets.

  • Why the fuck are you filmin' from the TV or something and making all those noises in the background? The song is wonderful, but I'll click "dislike" on this one.

  • awesome song

  • Phil Collins is a musical genius. This came out when music actually meant

    something to people. You can't say the same today.

  • he IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  • Genesis- man on the corner, Stings-Fields of gold, Are two of the greatest song ever , in my humble opinion.

  • I can hear the kid singing along with the video. AWESOME.

  • phil and da boys

  • this man is a legend

  • who dosent like this kaboom there dead

  • kool song

  • phil just speaks to everyone through his music hes a true artist

  • phil just speaks to everyone through his music hes a true artis

  • Though it could easily come off any of Phil's solo albums, because the themes of loneliness, paranoia and alienation are overly familiar to Genesis it evokes the band's hopeful humanism. "Man on the Corner" profoundly equates a relationship with a solitary figure (a bum, perhaps a poor homeless person?), "that lonely man on the corner" who just stands around. thats just me tho

  • @jcracker I C wat u did there

  • @jcracker It's funny that you said that, because Phil Collins wrote both music and lyrics to this track himself, as opposed to most Genesis tracks being a collaborative effort for the music half of the tracks.

  • Frickin good old days...

  • Lonely is not good.

  • but he waits every day now. He just waits for something to show.

  • Dam love phil and the boys thank god for sirus xm can listen to 80s music anytime

  • Patrick Bateman was here.

  • @Victordove Lol, nice one

  • I Love this song ! but i really hate the recording it's so great to hear this song again so many beautiful memories of the 80's wish i could be able to go back in time !

  • Ht #14 rock, only #40 pop in the US (Bilboard). Should've peaked higher than that, popwise, right, gang? Anyway, how'd it do in the UK? God bless!

  • got to be from some scally!

  • @marcia7523 in the air tonight is phil w/out genesis

  • This is a great great song and the lyrics are really touching.

  • Well I agree that the recording isn't great - but I had to give it thumbs up because it's the only non-live video of this on YouTube. So thanks for posting what you had.

  • the badest ass song that he evuh did singgggggggggggggggggggggggggg­gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­ggggggggggggggggg!

  • see the lonely man there on the corner what hes waiting for i do know hes just waiting for that something to show.....Genesis is awesome glad in hall finally

  • Did you recorded this from a monitor using a pc mic? Well, at least you have a good musical taste. Thanks ;o]

  • @bronzester hahahaha!! I was thinking the same thing!! Shitty recording, but points for musical taste!

  • I was a gen-x metal head, so I was well into my 20's before I came to really appreciate Genesis. Great band. Great song.

  • Hey, who sings this song?

  • Phil Collins.

  • @GeorgeBurrito I know, maybe this guy should keep it that way. ha ha

  • Good Phil Collins write. Should've peaked higher than #40 in Billboard.

  • lonely man balonions myazadan!

  • one of thier best ...80's at least.

  • bad ass song by genesis.....

  • My favorite song by Phil Collins... it has soo much meaning...

  • @

    superwhiteguy19

    What did you say? I m 14 and I love genesis. Your not the only one ;)

  • Genesis fans unite!!!! lol. Im 19 and the only guy my age that has any real taste in music.

  • Im 17 and I love Genesis, have done since I was about 14 :)

    Grown up around it so i've developed a love for the continuous hard drumming and mind controlling lyrics.

    i LOVE it

  • you need to blow your nose, you got the sniffles

  • I rarely see these LQ videos, but that's what happens when they deny copyrighted material by 'fingerprinting' Videos like this are so bad that they don't match the fingerprint and slip through.

    Gotta love technology!

  • lol I've never seen a video made by somebody just pointing a camera at their TV.

  • these types of crappy "videoing the TV" type videos are all over Youtube, where have you been? lol

  • Watching better quality videos I guess :)

  • great song by genesis in the 80's!

  • I like the sniffle @ the 0:28 mark

  • sniffin' glue i presume lol

  • Great song. Bad copy. I actually head someone sniff and the camera jittered as someone adjusted it. Sound is kinda bad too.

  • Phil Collins is one of those guys that you know is intelligent just by looking at him

  • Years have been fantastic! Unforgettable 20th June 2007 was.Thank God that there is a GENESIS!!!!!

  • Maybe because I was a teenager when most of Collins' schlock ballads were dominating the airwaves, I never had much of an appreciation for Collins' talent until recently.

  • It's weird, I just started liking Phil and Genesis, and I'm 28. I never liked them before, but now I'm really into them///

  • everytime I listen to this song i think about you...i hope you'll read this one day....ps= wonderful Phil!

  • This song never gets old.

  • why is this song not on there Greatest hits? love this song

  • Don't know...it's just a shame, that's all. Makes for a nice surprise on the radio, though.

  • @ChinoMoreno4life LOL I WAS INTO BOTH BUT YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH GENESIS OR PHIL COLLINS!

  • @ChinoMoreno4life Same here man. I listen to Death, Dark Tranquility, and Children of Bodom, but I also like Phil Collins.

  • @ChinoMoreno4life Hate or love Phil Collins. The dude is a badass musician

  • @SIHELL

    Yep; he knows what's cool, period. He gets it.

  • @ChinoMoreno4life Hope you check out the Gabriel years... very intense.

  • @ChinoMoreno4life

    Same here, I love the sound of his voice, almost electronic

  • @ChinoMoreno4life definitely have a moodier feeling to them similar to metal, even though it's replacing guitars with synthesizers.

  • great song

    very moving

  • Genesis/Phil Collins is amazing. So much talent.

  • Beautiful song

  • one of the best songs

  • Just caught this video on VH1 Classic (don't know what I'd do without that station)and was transfixed - this is a big tune!

  • @bcbest Abacab was released in 1981.

  • thanks for the video, early 80s?
