Phil Collins - Take Me Home Music Video

[garethhamilton111]

I believe technically the longest time ever to complete a music video. About 6 months of a world tour to get all the clips together before editing. Truely brilliant!!

[dzucco1]

Wish I had the talent to write something as good as this. Absolute classic!

[66ceaser]

this song brings back great memories an love peter gabriel on backing vocals

[TheCaulfield1]

COME ON EVERYONE....HOW GOD DAMN COOL IS THIS VIDEO????

JUST LOVE THE ENDING!!!

GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT ERA!!

One of my all-time favourite Phil Collins songs - he is a GOD!

[Fromadeadmouth]

tune

[ashland1977]

Very powerful music video by a very creative man. I miss the 1980s very much indeed.

[Venkman09]

"You've been down at the pub, haven't you?" ah ah ah, great!

[GemCan78]

Without a doubt, one of the most creative videos ever made...I mean, who would think of going all over the world, to New York, Graceland, Sydney, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo, just to say a few lyrics? Only Phil Collins, I guess...I remember watching this video in January of 1987, on Super Bowl Sunday with my friends...God I miss the 1980's, truly the sunlight years of my life...

[smigbabb]

@GemCan78 i know wot ya sayin great tunes great music and hot summers..............

[GemCan78]

@smigbabb Bro, everything is so lame, nowadays, even people who weren't even alive in the 1980's are lamenting this era...back in the days, kids actually had a childhood, shit was bad, but the news didn't throw it up in everybody's face...life was kinda innocent, whereas, nowadays, everybody wants to find "dirt" about somebody...Peace, bro...

[jwavada]

@GemCan78 Thats an understatement, no question about it.

[ibeacowboy]

4:41. St.Louis Arch! He rocks.

[DubStackG]

@ibeacowboy Oh hells yeah, Phil Collins is Da Man!

[eaylhtwls68]

My favorit part of this music video was phil is in tokyo and in los angeles.

[emilyjessopsinging]

lol!!

[Nianas11]

CLASSIC, PERIOD!!

[DoUWanna007]

they don't make videos like this anymore...luv phil ....luv sussidio also:)

[twinklebear22]

I have always absolutely loved this song! This song takes me back to a much better time in my life and in history itself. Phil Collins is an awesome and amazingly talented individual! Such great memories come with this song, the best really! Such a great era to grow up in! Why it all had to change, I guess that is life but hard to let go of what we loved the most. I will always miss the 80's but I hold the memories tightly in my heart forever. Missing the 80's . 80's forever!!

[CPUT99]

Reminds me of driving at sunset on my work lunchbreak. while listening to this song, singing along... thinking of the girl I love, my parents, friends, and the road ahead... It was a comforting, surreal moment.

[misterpress]

Peter Gabriel on background vocals.

[paulyou1872]

@misterpress actually, both Sting and Peter Gabriel are on background vocals

[gfconners]

There was a sequence at the end of an episode of the NBC hit-series Miami Vice, when Tubbs was trying to decide whether hed be returning to Miami, or if he would try to make a life with a lady detective played by Pam Greer (rowr!)... Phil was crooning this tune in the background... heck of a show. Heck of a song. Heck of a singer...

[mccarthystuart]

Ol' Phil looks as though he's having the time of his life in this video.

[DannyWilson26]

bloody fanstastic

[Timelord2067]

One of the most original film clips ever.

[Timelord2067]

@Timelord2067 Second only to Bill don't you loose my number

[ShellTrek]

Every Song in my life, brings me back to a particular time of my life. This one was awesome! My hoaring days!! To be young again.

[sarahjeanluvsmusik]

Phil with hair!!!! He's back I knew he could'nt stay away *****Welcome***** you were missed Concert in NY I've got to be there You were missed like a hungry man misses cooked food (lol)

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

Phil's best track.

[AeriaGl0ris]

Now this is good stuff. I'd rank this as one of my favorite Phil Collins songs ever.

[jkq311]

I love this song! This video brings back so many memories. :-)

[TheKyjeager]

This has always been a "comfort" song. While I served in the US Coast Guard 86-88 on deployment, I always heard this in my head to "Get Me Home" when sailing back to home port. Now I am a Paramedic and it still has a deep meaning to me.

[londonuk70]

Good job Phil. Keep goin'

[midnitesquirldog]

this is the best song reminds me of when i was smoking a bowl drinking 6 years ago then i put this song on vinyl record on and the record player quit working then it took me 1 hour to take it apart and put it back together it worked like a charm after when it started to work this song was on made me so happy i fixed something and it was the best song tearing up lol

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded in my mind.

[supersandman86]

an artist like phil collins is more than a brillient singer but more of a legend, he'll never be forgotten for centuries to come

[nyr1994]

I tried to copy Phil by wearing the same shirt in front of all those places. I now have pictures of me in a New York Yankees jersey in front of the Sydney Opera House, Eiffel Tower, and Big Ben

[1551430397]

Si pudiera filmar mi vida seguramente tendria musuca de Phil Collins....con su musica me enamore.....llore de tristeza cuando mis padres peleaban...se pegaban...y la familia se desvanecia....con su musica....me recupere...en soledad de las heridas cusadas por esos tristes momentos de adolesencia..

Con su musica soñe cosas que se volvieron tan reales como la vida misma....con su musica...supero lo mas dificil...Phil Collins y Dennis Noyes me ayudaron sin saberlo!!!!!

GRACIAS PHIL!!!!!!!!!

[SHUTUPandDANCE68]

Take me home to the former youtube...I want MY playlists in full view... a few recommendations are fine, but this is ridiculous.

[giffeym]

This song has always made me reflective. One of the most thoughtful and lovely songs Phil ever wrote. Thank you for posting.

[XMilleniumProd]

@giffeym

this is my most fav song in the whole world. Phil Collins 4 life!

This song speaks to me, and Phil Collins has earned alot of my respect from this song alone. Thank you, Phil...You have taken us all home with this song..

[FlyingAce1015]

Phil is awesome

[WinWinSituations]

Thanks to P.C. for the yellow taxi, Mickey Mouse, and the striped shirts. So many syncs...

[sckooshy1]

Awesome song! I love Phil Collins.

[sayenshin]

There's for sure a lot of emotions in his voice... I mean no one can move me like this and, I never get sad listening to them. This is an enormous avantage for a singer! Genesis and Phil Collins, I hope the people will someday consider your band as the best on Earth!

[ScrittiSparkle]

i so want to go home,but my home is no longer there,im so sad,but love this song

[skii6868]

Great song. Brings back memories. And @GuitarHeroPhenomSux I will remember Phil Collins more than Genesis.

[MrKnopf]

Since a few weeks, my life's difficult. I'm in love, but it isn't working out that well, it's an up and down... I don't know why, but somehow, this song helps me to face this situation. It motivates me, it helps, it gives me power... Hard to explain... But: THAT'S what music's for, I guess!

[jackalo43]

hes very underrated but hes very good the best

[ToddFlanders87]

I love South Park and Phil Collins! they only poked fun at him because they were both up for Best Original Song at the Oscars in '99 and Phil won.

[rennyminou]

5:11 and before - seeing the WTC's in this video, with this tune makes me feel sad...

[joskes123]

Just a perfect mix of voice and instruments. He's one of the most capable singers for this genre of singing !

[SeagalismyHero]

Limo with a pool in the back = 80's.

Phil's and Genesis' songs always get me emotionally charged.

[XMilleniumProd]

@SeagalismyHero this song in itself is emotionally charged

[jeremyanddamien]

Love the remix with bone thugs n harmony

[TBTthemaverick]

this my shit

[amxrtdket]

Epic

[danamaddy]

I'll take the limo w / the pool!

[16andabeautyqueen]

I LOVE PHIL COLLINS.

that is all.

<3333

[UNLEASHED12345]

best off all time

[DakarRaider]

awesome awesome tune

[jujubeeblossom]

I love him! His voice is beautiful and he is so RAD!

[Chunkychucky]

Ford 100E <3

[ADreamAbove]

I love when the plastic shark approaches him in the pool.

One of the greatest songs ever. He's absolutely underrated! He's too nice, I think - people can't degrade him personally, so they ignore him. He's absolutely awesome.

[ebeatworld]

This song is so rad.

[yahisabeingoffire]

The words to this song is so true for me and I don't mind :)

[SuperCockism]

beutiful song

[TheKINGFEDOR]

Youtube - They Sold Their Souls For Rock And Roll

[Zphunkallstar]

I want to take myself home. To a place not many have seen :)

[GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

Phil Collins is such a great artist. I have a feeling that he's underrated though. I mean, I hear Genesis playing alot on the radio. But most people never mention them under their favorites. And I even believe South Park made fun of them once. (I don't watch South Park; my friend mentioned it to me when I asked him what he thought of Phil Collins.)

[yuritim]

Timmeh!!!

[eyzonm3]

@GuitarHeroPhenomSux That is funny because I couldn't name you one Genesis song but hundreds of Phil Collins songs.

[samboy1288]

@GuitarHeroPhenomSux south park makes fun of everyone its probly nothing personal

[dogsbalearics]

@GuitarHeroPhenomSux what would we do without phil. i agree, cracking. especially genesis. although my ex wife loved his love songs. have a guddin mate

[Brijones1968]

@GuitarHeroPhenomSux Genesis is my all time favorate bands, everytime I hear Phil Collins voice it brings me out in goosebumps, he is truly amazing, my only regret is never getting to see Genesis play live :-(

[range567W]

phil collins is a G

[FirefighterJohnM]

I started a new job 3 years ago which I extremely loved. I loved it more than anything. It made me in such a great mood. One morning waking up I had XM radio playing on my computer and this song was playing. I didnt catch the song, but I thought I caught the words. I thought it said Take me down Remember i was half asleep. I FINALLY heard the song again and I found out the name of it. EVERY SINGLE DAY I wake up to this song now. I have it on my computer alarm clock. This song completes my life!!

[PabstOut]

@FirefighterJohnM woow... i listen to this almost every morning on youtube before work too!

[XMilleniumProd]

@FirefighterJohnM

amen, brother. amen.

[spazadic]

kinda creepy how he endsup all over the world in one day

[eggspecial]

This is not an "ordinary" life, but thanks, Phil, for not being ordinary!

[redverter]

Lol..and i didn't know he was an English man....or Australian. Can't tell the difference.

[MJMedin]

But they sound completely different!! They're more different than British and American accents.

[redverter]

Ok. I'll take that he's the latter according to your response.

[XMilleniumProd]

@redverter hes english

[redverter]

This is about as bling bling as u can get without a black artist..and even in the 80's or early 90's. Phil has a bottle of Dom Perignon at 5:28, an expensive champagne, and he's nearly at every famous city in the world in his video. I love Phil's songs, but come on. Couldn't he be alilttle more original than this????

[redverter]

Lol. Thank you everyone for not putting a reply to my comment and just putting 5 thumbs down. (Sarcasm). How original is that as well???? Jeemonie Chrismas....get a f@%$ing life!!!

[jlabelleful]

philphilphilphilphilphil....

[MrKnopf]

What an awesome, awesome track! ,,No Jacket Required" is probably among the greatest albums ever made. :-)

[clk430coupe]

Agreed!

[TedStryker71]

Awesome song, awesome vid.

[23djsimpson]

due this song rocks

[bigdsears]

you can almost see his kibbles and bitts around 4:37

[CodyZeall]

he has altimers lmao just listen to the song :P

[sjoseph17]

No idea what "altimers" is, but it's about a man in a mental institution.

[GuitarHeroPhenomSux]

@sjoseph17, "Alzheimer's" is a condition where one begins to lose their memory. There's different stages of the disease. I've seen several people with it and it's usually common in older people. But no one knows the cause or cure for it. I don't know what relevance this has with Phil Collins but just thought you should know.

[sjoseph17]

I know - I was replying to another comment inferring that the lyrics of "Take Me Home" are about a man with "Altimers".

[logom0]

i happen to be fortunate to see both my grand mothers with the disease suffer from it, im not sure what this song is about but phil collins is known for writing songs based on his emotions. i always perceieved that the song was about a man that is somewhere where they dont fit in or belong

[sepul071200]

classic vid,

great track,

phil-c is the best.

[jimmybfan]

It's like John Lennon said "It's a little ditty"

Just a song . Phil's a great drummer.

[PlanetMother]

This music will stay FOREVER

[minor1963]

minor 1963 fae blantyre wit a song

[singsingsingsing41]

he sucks

[punishedexistence]

@ singsingsing41...fuck you.......

Ohhh come on I'm kidding, no disrespect..still, Phil's great. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, Phil along with Genesis was an influence in my younger days. I wonder though, what sucks about this music? I'd at least like to be able to have a more introspective look into why this would suck. Well sorry, I went on too much, but I tend to do that at times.

[OfekTheQueenFan2]

Phil Collins is one of my favorite musicians. He's an amazing singer and player. Nice song :)

[chefnodd]

Phil Collins is one of the best artis there is ,He can play about anything and can sing! He is a true artist!

[odinkey76]

GREAT VID!! that's why Phil Collins is a living legend!!!

anybody has the lyrics??

[c15art]

Great song

[animalcedric]

so it was ehmm ... TOKIO,SAN FRANCISCO,CHICAGO,GöTEBORG,PAR­IS,GERMANY, MOSCOW,NEW YORK,LONDON,SYDNEY,LOS ANGELES WOW!

[1megane98hp]

It looks like this video cost thousands of pounds but actually it was probably the cheapest video in the history of music. Phil was on a world tour at the time and took adavantage of it and shot the clip for the song at a very low cost. In every city he played he filmed a few seconds and then he mixed everything together.

[hannes2066]

great singer great song i will remember and not forget this great time

[varvie52]

I actually love this song it reminds me of being a young teen 13 or 14 yrs old living in Nuevo Laredo Mexico and I could'nt wait to get the hell outta there. I would imagine myself in miami or LA I finally ended up in New York

[bmaguire1981]

Its funny they only show the gates at Graceland. I use to live in Memphis and Graceland sits in one of the worst parts of town. Its a shame that they let that place go to hell, the gate is all rusted now, Elvis's jet is horrible shape, and the Heartbreak Hotel is in disrepair. I'm so glad I moved out when I did... lol

[ih8suvz]

Wow really? That is sad.

[DaveWollenberg]

How many locations did Phil film in, lip-synchin' this song. Anyway, it hit #7 in the US. How'd it do in the UK?

[bmaguire1981]

I'm not sure of all the locations, but I know for sure they filmed in London, New York, Sydney, Moscow, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Memphis. Always loved this song!

[corrupt200]

Also this video shows in him in Paris, Chicago, San Francisco

the windmill was in Germany, not the Netherlands

They were thinking about filming at the Taj Mahal in India, but their budget ran short (damn!)

[XMilleniumProd]

when the apocalypse comes, i want to hear Take Me Home while I'm praying in bed holding my fiance and waiting for it to take us home.

[ladyraven30]

wow...that was morbid....

[XMilleniumProd]

@ladyraven30

which is worse? going alone? or being with a loved one when u go?

[XMilleniumProd]

@XMilleniumProd

i know that when i go, i want my last words to be to her saying that i love her and to God telling him that I am ready to come home.

[WillyM79]

I wonder how much it cost to make this video, going to all those locations

[endestew]

Probably not much, actually.. I mean, I bet they just filmed bit of this throughout the course of one of his tours maybe? That'd be the economic way of doing it ;)

[gvsu12345]

far and away my favorite Phil Collins song.. outstanding song.

[corrupt200]

my favourite video...being in all those places in a 4 minute video...kick a--

[93Deli]

My dad really liked Phil Collins and so when I was like 3 years old he played it, and it instantly became my favorite song.

Im a Big Owl City fan now, but listening to this song really takes me back.

[MaddChronic]

The WWF used to play this song during the end credits of Saturday Night Main Event during the mid 80's.

I used to be the Public Address announcer for a small town junior hockey team and I used to play this song after the game was over as the fans were going home.

[XMilleniumProd]

i didnt know that. i looked on YouTube for it and when i found it and heard the song, i started to tear like hell and i sang along.

[robbo2009]

i havent listened to this for years still a good one

[gears2boomshield]

The song is about a patient in a mental institution.

[XMilleniumProd]

@gears2boomshield

i wonder who thumbed that down? that IS actually the meaning of the song.

[gears2boomshield]

xmilleniumprod -- Couldn't tell you - probably some idiot who doesn't do their research.

[XMilleniumProd]

@gears2boomshield

heh probably. they forgot to do their homework on wikipedia XD

[Lovelymiz]

This song and Janet Jackson's "Runaway" video are probably the best travelogue videos ever! BTW, cool limo!

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

RIP Phil Collins...

[UltimoCamdawg]

@ENEMENCIO123VISION He isn't dead.

[ladyraven30]

dude don't even play like that....

[minkado01]

excuse me but i think Phil collins is stil alive.RIP means Repose in Peace.dont kill him before the time please.

[XMilleniumProd]

@minkado01

yeah true, and i still wanna meet him and sing with him :)

[DJLibby1]

I was really small when "No Jacket Required" was released. If I could go back to the 80's at the age I am now (26), the years I'd pick would definitely be 1985 and 1986 for sure.

Phil was really adorable in this video. <3 Definitely one of my favorites. Thanks for putting it up!

[cutelovelylisa]

I agree... I miss those years in my life... I remember being in Pensacola Florida and my mom listening to this.. and when my family moved to Texas I still heard a lot of Phil. I always did love listening to him. It just makes me miss the past real bad. I guess so much has happened since I was a kid and would love to have some of that innocence back.

[bslow22]

@5pliszer I have a hard time believing that you distinctly remember anything before age five, let alone the music you somehow chose to listen to...

[anythingshedoes]

I started kindergarten at age four and I totally remember stuff from then, including music.

[cutelovelylisa]

this reminds me of being in kindergarten... my mom loved phil collins.

[XMilleniumProd]

ur mom has excellent taste. my one goal in life is to sing with him if i become a famous singer. i want to be on stage with him. i want to sing Take Me Home with him. this is one thing i want to accomplish before either i die or he dies. i want to rest in my grave knowing i sang with one of the greatest singers known to man.

[corrupt200]

i started kindergarten in 1985 too

[XMilleniumProd]

i remember things from when i was 2, like when my mom played DKC and she kept screwing up the first boss fight lol.

[XMilleniumProd]

When I have a son with my fiance, I'm naming him Philip David, after Phil Collins. Phil Collins is just that awesome!

[animalcedric]

he was born the 30

[Masteraal]

Philip David Charles "Phil" Collins LVO born 30 January 1951

[kvonribbenburg]

A windmill! <3

[obreerbo]

This is my closing theme as a DJ in Second Life.  Voiceover over intro: "We leave you as always with Phil Collins, 'Take Me Home,' 'cos we're takin' me home here at (venue name). This is DJ CoolJ, saying, peace out, GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!"

[ladyraven30]

love that!

[XMilleniumProd]

this song definitely deserves that honor

[XMilleniumProd]

i am registered on there. tell me where ur venue is and ill watch u.

[obreerbo]

No venue at the moment, but another friend of ours is working on establishing something.

[XMilleniumProd]

ill come to a show and see u play. my SL name is FSG Oxygen. u can add me.

[SPeacock]

Happy Birthday, Phil! :)

[dafyd242]

the blue thing in the pool is a inflatable shark that makes another appearance later

[charrycharry]

what the crap was that blue thing in his pool?

[crushersyu]

The camera and electric goods store at Shinjtyuku intersection, SAKURAYA, that appears on 3:22 and then on is closing down by the end of Feb. 2010. No longer a landmark of the world anymore. What a pitty.

[spishack12]

whoa, some one needs to chill and drink some decaf coffechick and maybe some haterade.

[feliciab2]

My friend and I tried to recreate the bit from Sydney Harbour when she visited me a few years ago, but we couldn't find a spot where you could put your feet in the water and still have both the bridge and the Opera House in the shot.

[smartalecc5]

You have to follow the path all the way around the big U shaped water inlet. Theres a somewhat famous chair on that peninsula...can't remember the name though.

[russellhughes84]

befour miami vice phil collin's take me home was the closing theme for wwf's saturday night's main event back in the 1980's.

[feliciab2]

@smartalecc5

Ahh yes, I think I know where you mean - I think it's called Mrs Macquarie's Chair.

[Whitehorze]

Geez, Am I that old already?

The original is way better than the remix he did with that rapper...

[eminemrap2]

u mean with bone thugs and harmony?

[Whitehorze]

@eminemrap2 Yeah, thats the one. No disrespect to the guys talent as a lyricist, but it just doesn't appeal to my tastes. Like I said, I must be that old...lol

[eminemrap2]

i agree the original is always better
