Phil Collins - Father To Son

Here is yet another hard to find Phil Collins music video featuring the Collins family past and present. One of the kids playing the drums is Phil's son, Simon, who can also be seen in the Batman shirt. Be sure to do a YouTube search on "Simon Collins" to hear some of his music. He is a chip off the ole block, and has done a remake of his father's Genesis song "Keep it Dark", which is fantastic.

Who knows if anyone reads this, but for those who do I don't expect you to care or understand. I'm a 17 year old young man who loves Phil Collins, This song was played at my Dads funeral, he was tragically killed in a traffic collision on his way home from work in summer 2011. After his funeral my mum told me that he always wanted to tell me the lyrics to this song... he never got around to it. Now whenever I hear this song I instantly think of him and his smile. Always brings me to tears :'(.

I understand, and am deeply sorry for your loss. I also love Phil's music, and everything Genesis! Although Phil wrote this song for his son Simon, we can all identify with it when thinking about our fathers and the fatherly advise they pass down. If you look behind you, he'll always be there.

Phil's son Simon has just started a progressive rock band called Sound of Contact. They have close ties to Genesis and a lot of other major rock bands. His co-writer/co-producer Dave Kerzner has had lots of experience working with musicians like Keith Emerson, Alan Parsons, Steve Hackett, and others.
