(1994)Definitely TRUE (except the part about the spotlite, although he was in the front row. In the Air Tonight Lyrics: I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord / And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord / Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Then, Phil writes a song about the experience and gives the man a front row ticket to the show where he premieres the song.
I saw Phil perform it live on his “Into the Light” tour and it was really cool!
Apparently that individual looked up and spotted Phil. this is not a friendly encounter, and a very bad memory. Collins stayed quiet for a number of years and then finally turned the killer in — by inviting him to a concert and having him arrested, quietly and without circumstance, right after this tune, which he dedicated to the killer during that performance. “The Family Phil Collins Left Behind.”The U.S. It was really neat.As Phil Collins has explained numerous times over the years, “In the Air Tonight” (as well as most of the You know the song by Phil Collins “In the Air of the Night,” about that guy who could’ve saved that other guy from drownin’Gallagher, Tony.

Some guy is drowning.
Oh Herr. (1996)I heard a story that the song “In the Air Tonight” is about a guy who had seen his wife raped, and then later saw the same man drowning, but didn’t help him. Over time, however, it’s been theorized by fans and suggested by Collins that its basis lies in his ex-wife and the resentment he feels towards her.Eminem famously referenced this song in the third verse of I have always assumed that he has been waiting for revenge on this person. Phil’s wife had been raped and Phil knew who it was. There have also been plently of variations on this myth including one that mentions Phil Collins was on a boat with a friend when his buddy fell overboard. That’s when Collins (so the story goes) saw there was someone else right on the beach, who’d been watching the whole time and hadn’t done a thing to help.
Phil swims out to save the guy, but when he reaches him, he finds it’s the rapist!
To this day, at every concert, Phil starts out singing this song as an accusation aimed at this individual. the hurt still grows, and he would let the stranger drown.
Well I remember. In Österreich und der Schweiz war das Lied jeweils zwei Wochen auf 1, in Großbritannien erreichte es Platz 2.
(Actually I put a roll of pennies on the key). I remember, don't worry .
One of the most commonly believed messages behind 'In the Air Tonight' is that Phil Collins wrote it about a man who could have saved another man from drowning but chose not to.
While we can't confirm with complete certainty, the evidence gathered here is compelling. Much later, at nite, Phil is walkin round a lake when he hears calls for help from the lake. He also admits that he feels there's "something going on", but he doesn't know what is going on.
Help preserve this vital resource. Capitalizing Every Word Is Stupid And Annoying In the Air Tonight wurde ein weltweiter Hit und hielt sich eine Woche auf Platz 1 der deutschen Charts und weitere fünf Wochen in den Top 10. My first girlfriend was a big Genesis/Phil Collins fan, and according to something she had heard ‘In the Air Tonite’ was inspired by Phil finding his then-wife in bed with another man at a party they were attending. You rely on Snopes, and we rely on you. Und ich habe auf diesen Moment mein ganzes Leben lang gewartet, Oh Herr.
How could I ever forget. He screamed for him to help (apparently the guy had a boat and everything) but the guy just sat there and watched. Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand, F I've seen your face before my friend, C G but I don't know if you know who I am. It was released as the lead single from Collins' debut solo album, Face Value, in January 1981. (1996)What I had heard about “In the Air Tonight” had to do with Phil’s younger brother who died in some boating accident.The guy who was goofing off and pushed him in denied it happened and then the whole concert thing. The guy’s wife divorces him, he loses his job, etc. One of my co-workers, who is a good Phil Collins fan, told me that this song was written when one of Phil Collins’ friends drowned … She said that one of Phil Collins’ friends went swimming after having too much to drink, started having problems trying to swim, and Phil Collins tried to get a bystander to help … The bystander just gave him the finger, walked away, and Phil Collins’ friend drowned!Anyway, Phil Collins found out who the guy was, wrote In The Air Tonight, and mailed front row tickets to the guy for a concert in this guy’s town, anonymously …During the concert, Phil Collins pointed the guy out, while Phil Collins sang this song.The non-specificity of the song’s lyrics allowed for a variety of interpretations, with lines such as “Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand” and “I’ve seen your face before my friend, but I don’t know if you know who I am,” and “Well, I was there and I saw what you did; I saw it with my own two eyes” lending themselves to the construction of some particularly sinister scenarios:And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh LordLighting effects used when Collins performed the song on subsequent tours may have fed versions of the legend that end with the perpetrator being identified and singled out via spotlight:“In the Air Tonight” gives me chills too.
